Not reincarnation in the sense of you die and come back as a bird, dog, horse, bug, etc., but yes, I believe you cross over to the other side and can choose to come back. You are re-born as a human and you live another lifetime striving towards perfection. It's complicated, but I believe you can be re-born enough times to achieve perfection and then you can choose to be a spiritual leader, spirit guide, etc. Sounds weird, but that is what I believe.

For the Christians:
Actually there are few scriptures in the Bible that make a reference to reincarnation.
There use to be many more, until some were altered by Constantine's commissioned translators in 400-500 AD. There's also references to it in the Dead Sea Scrolls too!
But here is a great example of the reincarnation of the Prophet Elijah that Jesus speaks of:
(Matt 17)
Jesus is talking to the people & the disciples about the prophecy of Elijah, & that he would come 'back to life' and prepare the way for Christ.
(Matt 17:12) Jesus replied, "But I tell you, Elijah has already come, and you have not recognized him."
(Matt 17:13) Then the disciples understood then that He was talking to them about John the Baptist.
Jesus was trying to tell them that the spirit of Elijah was reincarnated in the body of John the Baptist.
He also says, "Those who have ears, let him hear." Meaning this is a great mystery and those who have understanding will understand, that a spirit of a person who had lived before can re-enter another person.
The belief in reincarnation is not a new one. Many religions of the world believe that reincarnation occurs.
Here's one way to look at it from a Christians point of view:
Most mainstream Christians today believe in the resurrection from the book of Revelation.
If a person has already died before the 2nd Coming & the spirit has return back to God, that spirit has to be summoned to re-incarnate that body again to make it rise.
Reincarantion at work........ You decide!!!
My opinion:
Personally, I beleive there is more evidence to support it, than to disprove it. I think it is the reason that so many of us experience "deja vue". However, I believe if you were once human, you will always return as human, not animal. Maybe a different sex or race, but human just the same...
What I learned from past lives:
I have reoccuring dreams of many things. One in particular of falling off a cliff or being pushed to my death. I presently battle with a fear of heights today. I try to over-come this struggle by making myself go to heights, that honestly, scare the sh*t out of me.
Any time I go near a rocky ridge or edge, I feel like there is people behind me, and I have an over-whelming feeling like I going to be pushed or I fall to my death. It's truely the strangest thing! So I feel that is possible that this has come from somewhere in my past.

As a reincarnate myself I firmly believe it is true. My lives have taken me to many places among many forms with very little common ground save one fact. In every single life I was, am, and will be an Occultist. I have learned many things from my travels. The most amazing discovery is the truth. That truth is rather simple in its nature and has a clear and definable characteristic. It is always hidden in the most obvious of lies.
if your curious about the truth I welcome your questions. If not have excellent lives.
Hails to the learned heart,
Silence

well nothing in my past lives have made this one easier. I learned that I always enjoyed being alone, but I will get married and have a boy, and I know what my future wife will look like. we are reincarnated to learn the lessons we did not learn in our previous lives.

Tempted to say it's only possible if you believe in the the idea of a "soul". If you believe in souls then it would make sense that one option would be to recycle these souls so new ones don't have to keep being created.
As most people will tell you though, we don't seem to have any recollection of past lives so even if we have had past lives... what's to say that we aren't still a new soul?
Difficult to answer but always a possibility.

I believe that it is a possibility that you come back in this world as a new animal every time. or you may become a person again and every time you relive your life the best way that you can. Maybe you are reliesed when you live a perfect life!!! I think you are given clues to your life thru deja vu since you may keep replaying the same life over and over again.
Thats just one of my many theories of life.

Have anyone heard of Nadi Astrology.. originally from Thanjavoor!!
I had my past life read.. According to that I belonged to Rajavamsha (Royal Family) of Varanasi in my past life... they said sooo much abt my character and my life story of that time.. The surprising thing is that, the character and the talents stuffs continues with us.. And the bad deeds we did that time will react upon us, as a kind of punishment...
( u know one thing, the deed and punishment is really matching.. not only for me... i had my relative's nadi's read too... their's too!! its really too surprising!)
These Nadi astrologers come from thanjavoor and are tamil brahmins. It is said that, your doings in past life is what results in the good/bad fate of this life..
we will be born as various animals or birds or even insects or whatever, suitable to our behaviour and doings in the previous human life, while we are waiting for our next human life, Which is decided by God.
You go on through life through life.. till you learn the what is/should be the true intension/aim of life. Then , your life cycle will be over. And you wont take birth in this world anymore.

I'd like to believe in reincarnation, but I have no past life memories. So I'm not sure if it's real or not.

I believe in it, but I don't remember my past lives. But from my mother's past lives, I know that if you do something major or something major happens to you it will affect the next life. I can't explain further than that, because it is not my place to talk about her past lives.
