the real questions is: do you think that your soul/spirit has to go through many lives to obtain vast knowledge?
example: if you in this life were very happy and had no troubles at all, than it was "decided" that you had to learn about joy and happiness, but in the other hand if it were viseversa than you HAD to learn about sorrow and suffering to later pass on to gain more knowledge and step up the status of spirituality? and after that return to life, this phisical world and keep learning.
What do you think?

I do believe in reincarnation (most times), and I think we all learn different things from each life. however, I believe it is a bit deeper than just happiness and sorrow. I think we learn things like patience, compassion, justice, love etc.
I also think we have a hand in deciding what we need to learn.
There are lots of great books and sites out there if you are looking for more information. You just have to sift through it and choose what is most in line with your beliefs. And ask questions. Sometimes you might find that you believe in many different things from different religions.
And just because you might have a happy life now does not mean you will get an unhappy one next time. We are all capable of making choices in our "physical" lives to change the situations we're in.

I'm not sure. It's not part of my upbringing but in the last 10 years I have learned so much about various religions throughout the world that I am at a state of confusion right now. The only thing I do know is that there is a supreme being and he created us for a purpose.

I strongly disagree with reincarnation because I feel you don't believe there is a heaven somewhere up there and how would you know if you were a new person and you wouldn't be brought from the same knowledge from your past life anyways.

This is a hot topic in my house. I believe in reincarnation and my husband does not. Jesus is God reincarnate in the flesh. John the Baptist was Elijah reincarnated. My views go with this my honey's does not. Makes for an interesting evening though.

Yes, I do believe in reincarnation and having multiple lives. I do believe that there are certain things that your soul needs to accomplish. Some people, I believe are old souls and some are new souls. I happen to be an old soul. I have met several new souls.

""obtain vast knowledge? ""
The total premise of reincarnation is defeated by the question-- WHERE IS THIS VAST KNOWLEDGE ACCUMULATED IF WE KEEP GETTING DIFFER NET BRAIN CELLS?
Please do not tell me that ""The great unknown-Planar strata"" is where it is stored and accumulated. If so, why cant anyone tap in to it? It has been growing for many years and is still useless!

Ssshhh... it's a secret.
John3:3 I say unto Thee. (apostles) Except a man be Born Again, (reincarnated)
he cannot see the Kingdom of God.
John3:7 Marvel not that I said unto Thee. (apostles)
'Ye' must be Born Again. (reincarnated/2nd Coming)
John14:1 Thomas could not comprehend what Jesus meant when He said...
"I will come again (2nd coming/reincarnate), and take you (reincarnation of Thomas)to myself.
That where I am... You may be also, and you know the way where I am going."
Thomas asked..."How can we know the way?"
Jesus answered.... "I am the Way... and 'The Truth'... and the Life."
1Peter1:23 Being... Born Again (reincarnated), not of corruptible seed(sperm), but incorruptible.
John20:21 So Jesus said to them again... "Peace to you!
As the Father has sent me (to be Born Again)...
I also send you." (to be Born Again/Reincarnated/2nd Coming)
Matthew24:44 So 'you'(apostles) too must be ready... because at an hour 'you'
are not expecting 'Him'... the 'Son' of 'Man' will come. ( be born again)

I'm not sure. Sometimes I feel like I'm much older than I really am, like I know more than I'm aware of. That's some kind of vague awareness.
Well, this is difficult question, really... If there is a reincarnation, I'm sure there's God's purpose for it.

NOPE, I use to believe so, but with my past, I know now it is a total lie.
It is written: Heb 9:27 And as it is reserved to men once to die, and after this, Judgment;

All that needs to be done is right now, right here on earth, choices must be made.

Hmmm! Interesting question, I would like to think so. Yes, I want to be a rich, white Man in my next life.
I'm tired of being a hard-working middle class Mother! Work, and then home to work again,it's insane!!!!
