Let Go Principle of Dhamma
The “Let Go” principle according to the nature of events unfolding is not something discussed in depth in the West.
I make following prepositions.
None may be correct, some may be correct, certainly, not all of them are correct.
1. Mind inhabits the brain when suitable but exists it when impossible for functioning. Body and Mind in a comforting cave of existence.
2. Mind does not become extinct at death.
3. It automatically and instantly grabs another living body and brain by default.
4. The transition period is ill understood as seen in “Near Death Syndrome”.
There is no inter-phase or Untar-Bhava or elderly wise men helping the soul. The transition is quick and automatic without an intervening phase. It is like the transmission of an electron through a transistor gate. The mind enters the transistor portal and goes into the next “Bhava of Existence” instantaneously and it is one way ticket and no coming back.
The mind floating in space and looking for a place of rebirth of choice with wise men helping in, is not at all plausible. The wise men have no right to intervene except masterly inactivity.
Imagine how all the souls waiting for a rebirth point of entry and thus keep floating in space.
There will be War or Clash of Souls.
I hope you got the point, I am driving at.
Each soul has his or her own pathway of transition not even so called God can intervene.
5. It either grabs the current body of existence (at least temporarily) with doctors’ help (resuscitation) or has no choice but to exit and enter its own individual path.
6. Mind can exist outside the body.
7. Body can exist without a mind.
EBENs of extraterrestrial origin, comes to my mind.
EBENs do not have a soul or self but are biological robots. This is where the bio-engineering would create biological entities / agents that can reproduce identical biological robots.
The presumption here is that without a previous existence of the mind, a “new soul” cannot be created de novo.
8. Highest level of mind’s existence is its detachment from the entanglement with the body (current or future existence) or Nirvana in Buddhist Terminology.
9. There have to be many minds of existences and there cannot be a “Unity of Mind” (as a God or super agent of creation).
10. All of the above is not true.
11. Some are plausible and some are not.
