Rebirth
The trauma of our own birth is a long forgotten memory. We never remember the journey into this world. We aren't meant to. It’s a way of protecting our selves from pain and uncertainty.
The concept of rebirth is strange. There is no trauma, no uncertainty, and we are encouraged to remember the process. It sounds more like anti-birth than rebirth.
Rebirth is meant to change everything about us. Its goal is to make us another person, a better version of ourselves. In some ways it does. It can make us more spiritual and even take us off a path that would surely bring us harm.
In most cases rebirth is a temporary thing. Our more ingrained behaviors pull us back to where we were before this self-made miracle occurred. We go back to the person we were over time. It may be a gradual change but in most cases it happens.
The only true way to be reborn is to get through the trauma that brought us into this world again. Anything else is an illusion.
