{"quotes":[{"text":"He had been reborn into the knowledge of death; and the inescapability of change, of things-never-the-same, of no-way-back, made him afraid. When you lose the past you're naked in front of contemptuous Azraeel, the death-angel. Hold on if you can, he told himself. Cling to yesterdays. Leave your nail-marks in the grey slope as you slide.","author":"Salman Rushdie","tags":["change","death","inevitability","rebirth","reincarnation"],"id":7987,"author_id":"Salman+Rushdie"},{"text":"You know that if I were reincarnated, I’d want to come back a buzzard.

And in doing so, they fail in realizing many other things, such as the fact that not many are lucky enough to give birth to a world bestseller on spirituality, wealth and success in life. Yes, your child may be a little reincarnation of an awesome buddhist monk, of an alchemist or a famous knight templar. Why most people can’t see these things, and keep looking at the past for answers, is something that still puzzles me.","author":"Robin Sacredfire","tags":["buddhism","children","love","reincarnation"],"id":32567,"author_id":"Robin+Sacredfire"},{"text":"I died as a mineral and became a plant,I died as a plant and rose to animal,I died as an animal and I was Man.Why should I fear?

Birth can be painful. Sometimes women die from giving birth. However, when the baby is born, all that pain (that was endured) vanishes in an instant. Love for that tiny baby makes one forget the pain, the fear. And as I’ve said before, love between mother and child is the highest experience, the closest to divine love. You might wonder about the parallel I’m making between birth and death. But I say to you, the fear and pain accompanying an awful death is over quickly. Beyond that portal one is suddenly in the light, in oneness and bliss…Just as a woman heals rapidly after childbirth and then is able to fall in love with her baby, those who pass over also are able to fall in love with a new life.'-Kuan Yin (From 'Oracle of Compassion: the Living Word of Kuan Yin.","author":"Hope Bradford","tags":["babies","birth","childbirth","death","divine-love","kuan-yin","kuan-yin","kuan-yin","reincarnation"],"id":45129,"author_id":"Hope+Bradford"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":140,"pages":14,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
