About 25% of Buddhists belief in God and in a Soul. I am one of these.

For me, Tibetan Buddhism always suited my mind stream. However, my path started as a mystical Christian in the way that I was raised. Experiencing God and Jesus and Saint Germain and Archangel Michael since about age 2 and the other Archangels gave me a path forward in life so I could stay alive through whooping cough at age 2 and a rock climbing concussion at age at age 9 at Chilao with my father in the Angeles Crest National Forest then likely in 1957.

Why would I give up believing in God and Jesus and Saint Germain and Archangel Michael if this was the only way I could survive to even age 15 as a child at all in any way?

In the end, if one doesn't think and believe in a way that keeps them alive they are only dead and that's all.

By God's Grace

I got a different answer than I expected regarding Buddha's Soul Travel to other planets but it is still amazing!

begin quote from AI Overview

In early Buddhist scriptures and cosmology, the concept of the soul does not exist, but Gautama Buddha and his highly realized disciples are described as using psychic or meditative power (Iddhi) to travel between billions of inhabited worlds.

Rather than a "soul travel" event—as Buddhism fundamentally rejects an eternal soul (Anatta)—ancient texts like the Anguttara Nikaya outline a vast, populated cosmos where the Buddha’s spiritual realm extends across multiple world-systems containing billions of sentient beings.

The Scale of the "Billions of Worlds"

Long before modern astronomy discovered galaxies, early Buddhist texts mapped out a universe of mind-boggling scale. The texts group the cosmos into hierarchical structures:

Single World System (Loka-dhātu): Comprises one planet Earth, its sun, moon, and surrounding celestial bodies.

Small Chiliocosm: A cluster of 1,000 single world systems.

Medium Chiliocosm: A cluster of 1,000 small chiliocosms (1,000,000 worlds).

Great Trichiliocosm (Sahasra): A massive cluster of 1,000 medium chiliocosms. This totals exactly 1,000,000,000 (one billion) world systems.

This billion-world cluster is known as a "Buddha-field" (Buddhakṣetra), which is the cosmic domain that a single Supreme Buddha can physically influence, illuminate, or visit using his mind and spiritual power.

Interplanetary Travel in Buddhist Scripture

Instead of traditional "soul travel," the scriptures describe a form of spiritual projection or teleportation fueled by deep meditative absorption (Jhana). According to text translations from platforms like Reddit's r/Buddhism and specialized Buddhist centers:

The Buddha's Travels: Suttas mention the Buddha visiting higher heavenly realms (like the Tavatimsa heaven) to teach his deceased mother and the celestial beings residing there. He also explicitly stated that his voice and mind could penetrate a thousand-fold or billion-fold world system to teach the Dharma.

Moggallāna, the Cosmic Traveler: The Buddha’s chief disciple, Mahāmaudgalyāyana (Moggallāna), was renowned for his supreme psychic powers. In one famous scriptural account, Moggallāna wondered how far the Buddha's voice could travel. He used his abilities to fly across space to a completely different, distant world system. There, the inhabitants were towering giants, and when they noticed him, they were astonished by the "tiny human monk" who had traversed the universe to visit them.

Soul vs. Mind Streams

While these ancient stories mirror science fiction, the mechanics differ entirely from typical astral projection. Buddhism teaches that there is no static "soul" to detach from the body. Instead, it is the highly trained, unburdened mind stream (Citta) that can manifest a mind-made body (Manomayadhāna) capable of instantly traversing world systems without physical limitations.

TRIAGE

In other words: "Save the living from dying nationwide and worldwide Mostly from starvation and Global Climate changes".

If the Democrats don't to this they too will be out of office again by 2028.

This is not a mandate for Democrats to go Crazy!

This is totally an Anti-Corruption vote against Trump and the Iran War destroying all life on earth in Trump's Stupidity.

This vote is to end Oil Company Windfall profits killing through Starvation people worldwide!

To just go after Trump alone is for Democrats to be out of office in 2028.

If Democrats simply save lives and find ways to house people worldwide they will also have the presidency in 2028.

I think the truth is really this simple.

SAVE THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD FROM TRUMP'S INSANITY!

By God's Grace!

I was a rock climber in places like Yosemite Valley from about 1969 to 1973 (I was 21 to 25 then)

However, when I got married and had a baby son I gave up this sport because I realized it was just too dangerous for someone married raising a child. Within a few years one of my rock climbing buddies died a Castle Crags just south of Dunsmuir but not far from Mt. Shasta along Interstate 5. The problem with climbing Castle Crags is the rock is sort of decomposed Granite so pieces of it can break off so if you are not roped in from the start of the climb to the top of the climb you might die there like my friend did.

A Bong is a bent piece of Aluminum to jam into a crack in the rocks to hold your ropes so you don't fall. I always preferred Pitons and I like to have several pitons set because with pitons you are less likely to die if you hammer your pitons into the rock cracks properly. However, even if you pull a piton if you have others below it you might survive the fall but when you fall it is easy to get a concussion or worse when your body and head sometimes slams against the rock at the end of your fall or during it. But, I preferred never to use Bongs because I never felt safe doing this. I also didn't like ice Climbing unless I was roped in from the top and couldn't fall because ice is often in irregular shapes and if you hit it with your body or head it is usually much sharper than the rocks you are climbing and can do more damage often when you fall even if you are roped in on belay.

However, if you want to be a rock climber you want to be roped in from the top of what you are climbing with a really good rope or you want a line of pitons so if you fall and pull one or more out you have others that will catch you. Just having one piton holding you is not usually a good idea unless you have no other choice in that moment.

Many people get thrilled by Free Climbing but all you need is one false move and you don't exist anymore.

Of Bongs and Pitons for Rock Climbers

begin quote from AI Overview

A bong is a type of large, U- or V-shaped aluminum rock-climbing piton.

What is a Piton?

Definition: A metal spike or blade driven into rock cracks to serve as an anchor or piece of protection while climbing.

History: Hans Fiechtl invented the modern one-piece steel piton with an eye in 1910. Later, climber John Salathé introduced hardened steel variants for Yosemite granite.

Usage: Traditionally hammered into cracks, pitons make a distinct ringing sound that tells climbers how secure the placement is. They have mostly been replaced by clean-climbing gear like nuts and camming devices, though they are still used on big walls and aid routes.

What is a Bong?

Definition: The largest style of piton, made from shaped aluminum (such as classic designs by Chouinard Equipment or Stubai).

Name Origin: Named for the deep, resonant "bong" sound they make when hammered into wide rock cracks (like off-widths and flares).

Evolution: Designed in the 1960s for large cracks in places like Yosemite, bongs became largely obsolete as climbers learned to jam their hands into those cracks and as large camming devices were invented.

Would you like to know more about traditional aid climbing gear, or are you looking for details on how modern camming devices replaced pitons?
