During the process of death and rebirth there is an opportunity to choose which realm you are born into.

Not sure if ‘choose’ is the correct word. If in that perspective life and death are a “something” that is separate or a experience that is projected to some future end/beginning then karma/memory (seeing the world as we are not as it is) is a huge factor in that notion of choice. Begs the question how to see the world as it is and so respond to it as it is? The answer involves getting out of the ‘I’ out of the way.  Thus we work for that which no work is required as thier is no I.

From another perspective ‘death and rebirth’ is THE realty of every “Now”- every breath a opportunity to get out of the way.

What you are in your in-most being escapes your examination in rather the same way that you can’t look directly into your own eyes without using a mirror, you can’t bite your own teeth, you can’t taste your own tongue, and you can’t touch the tip of this finger with the tip of this finger – Watts

The I does not exist as sperate. Nothing is separate and everything belongs.

“Your real self, the real you, is everything there is… but concentrated and expressing itself at the point called your physical organism.”

“We are all floating in a tremendous river and the river carries you along. Some of the people in the river are swimming against the current, but they are still being carried along. Others have learned that the art of the thing is to swim with it. You have to flow with the river. There is no other way. You can swim against it, and pretend not to be flowing with it. But you still flow with the river. Swimming Headless

“When you know that you have to go with the river, suddenly you acquire—behind everything that you do—the power of the river.” – Watts
