I’ve been reflecting on a concept since a conversation with another practitioner. What if immortality isn’t about stopping the cycle of death and life, but rather transforming it? It seems that the reason immortals are rare is that the process is incredibly challenging and not something people willingly endure.
From my own experiences with growth and the associated mental shifts, I wonder if the true cost of immortality is a devastating and aggressive rebirth of the soul and mind, possibly occurring every 25 years or so. This intense process might often lead to self-destruction (suicide) due to its severity. However, each cycle could also bring profound insights and deeper understanding of existence.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this perspective!
I have to add while I do not suggest trying this. I encourage teaching and learning as such. We need to acknowledge freedom of choice and expression. In the end all we can do is inform others or we taking away freewill.
while the words can still be taken in many meanings, I do have a question for you. and I know this is hard or can be dangerous to talk about online, but still I will ask it and in turn I will also reply to your post honnestly(see above as I should post/reply it soon(even compared to the way normal people would see as soon probably)). are you immortal, or something like it? if so what version.
the reason I ask is because I seek to unite many people with strong magical capabilities, or potential or knowledge or skills, as well as people I have met long ago and such, and atleast in knowledge so all can learn. essentially, I seek to bring back something from long ago, and teach people the true magic, and so also freedom.
I already know multiple powerfull ones, and also helped and teached many of them.
I am immortal in the way I can never die but I can feel pain and heal from the pain. I don’t get older either.
Also this idea sounds fascinating! Though I would encourage you to consider everyone is powerful with the right mindset and understanding.
One may start weak in their powers but can blossom into a beautiful butterfly of creation and destruction. Though with my powers of scientific understanding of magic. I set rules on my power no destruction can happen that doesn’t benefit life, nature and the rights of all being.
