This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

But at his funeral wouldn't he be cracking his egg?

Not to take the whole thing too seriously, but it really depends on the tradition. Some believe in instant rebirth, some believe there is significant time between births, some believe there's time between births, but only from the perspective of the dead, on earth it's instant. Some believe it's nonlinear, your next life could be a thousand years in the past. There's a whooooole bunch of different ideas around reincarnation, even within the same traditions.

Yeah, ok but that means for it to be a adult bird or at least old enough to fly either 1. Young birds don't have a soul. 2. His soul was in 2 bodies at the same time.

The second one fits with a nonlinear view of reincarnation, and also with a non dualist view.
