If I was told that I’d come back to earth to be reincarnated as another human being with choices. I would like the following;
To be a woman. To be non-binary, still. To still remain a ‘gray world resident’. To retain my ability to not cave to FOMO and be resourceful. There’s a hundred of other things but in terms of core ones, those are the few.
Whats left from my memory after i kick the bucket. Imagine being 3 years old with 70 years worth of life experiences🤣
Here’s your daily dose of cosmic horror.
You in fact do retain all your memories when you reincarnate. But you’re born into a body you’re incapable of using. You can’t move your limbs. You can’t even see initially. You can’t speak. Imagine being shoved into a Matrix-style fully immersive simulation, except the simulation feeds you only unending static to all of your senses. And there is no way out. This is why babies scream.
By the time the months necessary to have any level of coherent thought have passed, your old mind is completely shattered. Your old memories are gone. Maybe some vague echoes of your old personality remain, but it is in fact a mercy that we do not remember our own infancy…
Reincarnate as baby in coma problem solved
Nope. won’t work. You’re born with working eyes, ears, muscles, etc. Your brain however has to go through a months- and years-long training process to learn how to interpret the signals it’s receiving and how to send out impulses to control the body’s muscles. There’s no way to do that but the hard way. You can’t skip learning to ride a bike by inducing a medical coma. No different with learning how to master your own body.
Great, a new horror. Months of no sensory input would drive anyone mad.
That’s exactly the kind of thought I needed to read before going to sleep
