They say life is a 'journey', a 'school' and is here to teach us 'important lessons'. But why? Have you ever considered the possibility that the lessons we learn and wisdom we accumulate in this life, extends into other lives? Is it perhaps possible that our life is not the only journey of experience, advancement and maturing - but the whole of conscious existence is? Is it possible that reincarnation, also known as metempsychosis, is responsible for the tremendous range of world views, instinctual drives and essential life decisions we make? What makes us so different from one another? What

By Jeeheon Cho from Surat Thani, Thailand - Varanasi River BankUploaded by Ekabhishek, CC BY 2.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=10681661 Here is a fascinating and touching story about Varanasi, the most sacred place for devout Hindus. One of the things that makes it so sacred is that it is a destination for many dying Hindus who believe that they can only reach moksha, or freedom from the cycle of rebirth, by taking God's name and dying in the holy city. Moni Basu, a practicing Hindu and a reporter for CNN, follows an 80 year old Hindu who wants to take his last breath in the city of Varanasi. That city is what Basu calls the "epicenter" of Hinduism. It is to Hindus what Mecca is to Muslims and what Jerusalem is to Christians. But unlike those cities, Varanasi is a destination for many dying Hindus. Basu explains why dying in Varanasi is so important. And she introduces us to Mukti Bhavan, a "liberation" house where some Hindus spend their eleventh hour. Basu calls it "Hotel Death." There, she tells us, she saw death in a "new light." The house lacked warmth, love, or "any other emotions we linked to the process of dying." But later in the story, we see the house through the eyes of its manager, Bhairavnath Shukla. For him, death is not to be mourned. In fact, he sees it as mukti, or liberation. According to Basu "he and everyone else at Mukti Bhavan see death in Varanasi as a marriage of one's soul with God?" Basu's story helps us to understand Hindu spirituality and the significance of Varanasi in sustaining it. Does the Hindu view of the afterlife differ from other religions. Basu included a chart of those views which you can see below.

He should try looking in a mirror.

Belief systems are inherited and taught directly or indirectly from childhood. We were taught what to believe and who and what we are supposed to be. We were drilled either by talks or by experiences that impressed on the youthful soul to think a certain way, to act a certain way.

There is a big difference between religion and spirituality, though people often use them as interchangeable terms. The common phrase thrown around is 'spiritual but not religious' and this has raised the question on what the difference even is. The two terms have a lot in common and have similar personal goals, but they aren't the same thing at all. There are very distinct differences in the two so let's break them down... Religion Religion is an organized system of beliefs, attitudes, practices, behaviors, and morals. There's generally a specific higher power that is worshiped and a set of religious
