The 'nature' of being 'born again'... for what it's worth...

There is much concern and conjecture in 'philosophical' circles of all ages, I know, over the subject of being 'born again,' or 're-birth,' or 'resurrection,' if not actual uninterrupted eternal life. We believe, somehow, have always believed, that it is not only an 'inborn' desire, but actually possible, under certain circumstances, which they say that the 'mysteries' of various sorts place a 'veil' over. That's an interesting analogy, if you ask me, considering the nature of my thoughts along those lines... I'm going to give you my thoughts, or at least the beginnings of my contemplations, and it may be that some one of you would like to respond to them with some ruminations of your own. After all, this is the 'original' and most sublime purpose of a 'forum'... discussion which would tend to raise the thoughts of all parties in attendance; a mental and spiritual give-and-take, you know?
That would be fun, for a change...
Anyway... I have a feeling that the actual 'fact' of rebirth is much simpler than anyone dares to believe that it is, and that it has to do with 're-member-ing' something. I thought of it when I posted that video, 'I Remember You.' Much is made of memorials, and memory... to remember someone after death is a way to 'bring them back to life' in the mind of the thinker, isn't it? To keep one's memory 'alive'... keeping the memory of great men alive through public memorials was very big at one time, and private memorials are still made, for the great and small. But why...? What is the real, true importance of 'remembering' the dead?
It is my belief that we are held, as the entities that we know ourselves to be, in the 'mind' of 'God,' and that this 'picture' of 'us' includes all of our traits, physical and spiritual, all of our tendencies, thoughts, actions, and words that are impressed constantly upon the 'mind' of 'God,' as the 'aether,' if you will, and so we are 'known' to Him. It is said that we have our Life in Him... and I believe that that is exactly true.
Now, I also believe that our 'connection' to this Source of Life, this great mental fount, can be 'stronger' or 'weaker,' depending on our efforts at connection to It, if you see what I mean. It is equally available, without prejudice or favor, to all men, but not all men will avail themselves of It, nor seek to 'know' or understand It at all... they will make a weak, if any, impression upon it, and will likely not be 'remembered,' for that reason. Their 'energy' will be turned to other forms, or uses, depending on what exactly was projected by that being upon the universal matter...
Others, like Enoch, Daniel, and many other notable men through the ages that have bothered to 'know' and understand this Great Mind, or 'God,' will have more 'affinity' with that mind... Enoch was said to be a 'friend' of 'God,' which tells me that their minds were in tune with each other, as most friends' are... and for that reason, he was held in immediate 'memory,' or 'remembrance,' and did not actually die... but was only made more compatible still with that great Mind, and was 'translated,' or 'changed,' you see? Much as an alchemical transformation is accomplished, I would imagine...
Should someone as this actually suffer 'death,' it takes only their 're-member-ing' by the Great Mind, or 'God,' in order to give them their 'Life' again... reanimated, so to speak. Given a new body... re-membered... get it? Baaahahaha...
But siriusly... give it some contemplation. I have...
I can expand on these thoughts... and will, eventually...
That would be fun, for a change...
