Rebirth and Reincarnation?

****

"According to its level of subtlety, consciousness is
classified into three levels: the waking state or gross
level of consciousness; the consciousness of the dream
state, which is more subtle; and the consciousness during
sleep, dreamless sleep, which is subtler still.

Similarly, the three stages of birth, death, and the
intermediate state are also established in terms of the
subtlety of their levels of consciousness. On the basis of
the continuity of the stream of consciousness is
established the existence of rebirth and reincarnation."

I totally don't get this passage, so if you do, explain it
to me. Each day I write these passages, I feel more
connection to the teachings of the Dalai Lama. So many of
them ring true in my life in ways Christianity never did.
I can't exactly say that about this one. It is just as
much of an enigma as Proverbs or Revelations ever was, but
I'm sure I stand a much better chance of SOMEDAY getting
this. Unlike the Bible, which is an enigma, wrapped around
a conundrum and tucked inside a riddle. Try picturing that
in your head!

Even though I'm physically miserable today (my boobs are
growing like I've got little whoopy cushions in them that
need to be sat on. My nipples are erect regardless of
whether I'm cold or not. And touching them is
uncomfortable to say the least). My allergies are acting
up. I've got so much post nasal drip, it's going down the
back of my throat, into my lungs and making me sneeze,
cough and feel nauseaous. I also didn't eat as healthfully
as I should. But, despite all this, I'd say it was still a
4 star day, because no shit went down and I STILL finished
my workout, even though I didn't feel up to it. That makes
me proud.

I'd love to write more (okay, that was a lie), but I've
got a dark, cool bedroom with a big soft bed just waiting
to hold my sore, achy body (still no period yet, but soon
I'm sure). Ciao and goodnight.
