Buddhism also teaches that we must become free from the endless cycle of karma and rebirth. So the idea isn’t new, it’s just a new trendier take on it. The devil’s more in the details and how we apply this.

I do sense, however, that there’s a big level of demon-sourced disinformation involved in the “Reincarnation Truth” and “The White Light Is a Trap” idea.

The idea came about in modern days with the help of Major Ed Dames, a.k.a. “Doctor Doom”, a remote viewer who was a frequent guest on Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell in the 90s. One day he decided to remote view the white light seen in NDEs. His takeaway is that it was a lucifer-like “false light” and a trap. This shook a lot of people up, as it was such a contrarian take on it all.

The problem with this is that Ed Dames is known for tapping into disinformation, and remote viewing has zero safeguards against telepathically-fed disinfo. All it cares about is that consistent results, which can be verified correct if it concerns some physical thing like viewing the Eiffel Tower or something, but regarding alien and metaphysical subjects it’s very easy for aliens and demons or similar to telepathically influence a remote viewer to get a consistently false impression.

Now, why would they want to deceive. The answer is that if you look at the subject of possession, hauntings, entity attachments, etc. like the works of Dr. William Baldwin and Dr. Shakuntala Modi, there’s a recurring theme of earthbound souls who haven’t moved on. They become stragglers here in the etheric plane, near our physical plane, where they become ghosts or parasites that feed off people’s living energies.

Further, they are often working in the service of demons, similar to how kids who runaway from home and wind up on the streets may end up working for gangs or mafia as pickpockets. There’s a whole occult industry of these deceased humans preying on living humans, and taking a little of the energy for themselves while passing the bulk on to their demon overseers.

That industry needs lost souls to recruit from. One way to do that is to convince people to be scared of the light (as demons are) and turn away from it and go into the darkness. Okay, so you get these bitter, paranoid, beat-down people who just want to escape the system turning away from the light and probably becoming earthbound entities who, if they want to avoid dissolving into the light, need to grasp on to anything living to maintain a connection here.

I’m sure there are correct ways of side-stepping the light, but it’s risky and no one truly knows what they’re talking about regarding it. The Tibetan Book of the Dead at least brings up the idea of there being multiple lights and which ones to avoid.

I think what matters more is your state of consciousness and intention/desire when you die. If you focus on releasing all attachment, frustration, guilt, remorse, regret, etc. and only focus on love, gratitude, devotion to the divine, and being spiritually free as the sovereign being that you are… then you’ll gravitate to wherever that brings you.

Whereas if you see the light and mentally give it the middle finger with a gruff “fuck this system” attitude, well even if you turn away from the light you’ll probably wind up in a lower astral “free for all zone” where you get your freedom but are in the presence of other alienated disgruntled deceased people and it’s probably a dark and cold place, energetically-speaking.

The other thing is that the people into this theory haven’t done enough research into things like Theosophy, Anthroposophy, Rosicrucianism, Hermeticism, Hinduism, and Buddhism to get the time-enriched data provided by these.

My view is that reincarnation and physicality is a double-edged sword. We are not born as blank slates. We come here with talents, biases, and prejudices already present at the core of our being, even if we don’t consciously remember the experiences that went into them. This contradicts the idea that all reincarnation is a pointless trap due to our memories being wiped each time. No, we come here with something and that’s what we get tested on, and it’s what gets refined.

And the fact that there’s a testing and refinement process that potentially builds something good and lasting in us proves that reincarnation isn’t just a pointless trap, but has a spiritual curriculum to it.

However, it’s a bit of a choose-your-own-adventure book in that you can make really stupid choices that bring on stupid consequences, so the experience can become a trap and a prison if you choose unwisely. People wind up in that situation and then take no responsibility (or aren’t aware of their role in it) and want to just blame the entire system for being a trap and they are just the innocent victims.

Not so… there is freewill, there are lessons, there are consequences, and there are temptations and traps, risks and rewards, potential for growth or setback.

Hence the entire thing resembles an educational RPG video game where it’s possible to make bad choices and wind up on tedious side quests having to grind your way back to the main narrative.

What complicates it is that there are indeed demons, negative aliens, psychopaths, etc. who profit off you taking those painful side quests. That’s the part of this whole thing that’s a trap.

But I don’t believe the entire thing is a trap, or there would be less meaning, good, lessons, and growth in this lifetime.

I think we are as free as we choose to be. And we end up being as free after death as we are in life. If in life we are slave to addictions and false belief systems (like the Catholics are) then we’ll continue that programming after death, for a while until we run out of astral energy and fade into the light all the same at that point.
