> Well those are the concepts that Hinduism preaches. I myself struggle in my own way to find out whether there is a after life or there isn't. I agree with you about hinduism being convoluted for you, heck it is confusing to me too. Hence I said its too open ended. What would like to know is what are your views on spirituality from a western perspective.-My views are not too far from the many opened ended Hindu teachings (I now realize thanks to you Satyansh) most of which I've come upon myself. I choose to believe in karma and reincarnation because it's the ideas that bring me the greatest inner peace. It explains to my observant (and sometimes fearful) mind the luck (good and bad) people have as well as the very horrific and wondrous things we humans experience here on earth.-But most of all, I believe in reincarnation because, I believe just as matter is endless and ever evolving, so is consciousness. I also choose to believe that earth is only one of many fields for the consciousness to come and play and learn in. -Because we have endless consciousness we have the option at any time of forgetfulness. Earth is a great place to come and forget your infinite soul and to play and learn in the field of forgetfulness.-bb
