TY - M-10475 AU - HekmatAfshar, Mohammad TI - Consciousness as Navigator: Ontological Agency and Lifeworld Selection in Temporal Reincarnation T2 - Scientific Research Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Science PY - 2026 VL - 4 IS - 1 SN - 2584-0622 AB - This paper advances the metaphysical framework of Temporal Reincarnation (TR) (HekmatAfshar, 2026), positioning consciousness as the ontological navigator of lifeworlds. Building on the previous publication, Temporal Reincarnation; A Metaphysical Model of Multidirectional Soul Deployment, Toward a Recursive Ontology of Time and Consciousness, it explores how the Registry (HekmatAfshar, 2026, p. 48), a structured field of reincarnational possibilities, operates through resonance rather than linear causality. Drawing from Islamic and Christian theology, David Bohm’s implicate order and symbolic logic, the paper argues that consciousness predates both physical and spiritual embodiment, having once existed in eternal proximity to the Divine. Navigation within TR is governed by Resonance Alignment (RA), enabling non local shifts across ontological layers such as Nasut (Human/Physical Realm), Malakut (Imaginal/Angelic Realm), Jabarut (Realm of Divine Power) (Corbin, 1972, p. 5; Nasr, 1993, p. 267). Concepts like spiritual gravitation, ethical recalibration and parallel lifeworlds, are examined as lawful mechanisms of Soul movement (HekmatAfshar, 2026, p. 50). The paper culminates in a soteriological vision of final convergence, where resonance with the redemptive pole, seals the Registry’s eschatological coordinate. TR thus, offers a spiritually intelligible model of reincarnation that integrates metaphysics, theology and quantum insight.
