Only the false can reincarnate. Anything cyclical is false.
The idea of true-self reincarnating is absurd.
The ego, afraid of it’s demise, created belief that Atman or higher-self would persist through multiple lifetimes. Being isolated in space and time, the ego perpetuated this belief and in a world consumed by the false, the belief was (and is) easily perpetuated (see how the false perpetuates in cycles)
In a state of no mind, the divisions of body, mind and the sense ‘I am’ are dissolved and without the mind to seperate these there is nothing that would ‘carry on to the next life’. Even the idea of ‘this life’ is an illusion created by the mind.
It is possible for man to go beyond mind and thus beyond time. This is the eternal state which is formless and knows no division. It is not something which arises as it never arose yet has existed eternally. To say man is going beyond is not quite right either because he is just getting out the way and letting the divine meditate through him.
It’s as simple as that. When the mind is silent. The universal energy can act through you unabated.
