Does reincarnation exist?

Question

If you think it does, how do you think it works? If not, what is happening when someone recalls a past life in hypnotic regression?

Answer 1

I don't know I didn't die yet.....or did I?

Answer 2

No, it doesn't.

As for hypnotic regression, it can be faked. There are not many reputable specialists in the field of hypnotic regression. The few that are real would tell you that they've never observed a case where someone has recalled a past life.

Answer 3

"If not, what is happening when someone recalls a past life in hypnotic regression?"

They're going mental.

Okay, sorry. I do not believe in reincarnation, just as I don't believe in God and spirits and heaven and hell and whatever. As for someone recalling a past life ... honestly I think it's interesting, but seriously? They're mental.

I don't care what evidence you have to back it up that reincarnation exists. To me, they're crazy, because I think that we all decay in the dirt after we die. A nice peacful life, and chances to catch up on lost sleep. :D

Answer 4

Yes I have some memories of past lives myself and I have been able to verify some details as being historically correct and not anything I could have learned in this life. Even as a young child I was able to paint in impressionistic and other "modern" art styles of paintings way beyond my age level. Once when seeking an answer to a reoccurring health problem. I saw my death as a young soldier People who were into military history were able to identify the war and the military unit ( Dutch Zoaves) from my description of the uniform.

We choose to reincarnate according to what purpose we want to accomplish and lessons we wish to learn. There are many beings who do not usually take on physical reincarnation so that there are always available spirits We may also reincarnate in other forms, dimensions and places

Answer 5

Well, if that cockroach I just stepped on is related to anybody in a past life, I truly apologize. According to eastern religion, or myth if you like, you keep having to get on the wheel of life in order to get it right. You screw up, you come back as something less. You really screw up, you could come back as a bug (my cockroach reference). The idea behind it is if you have fully learned what life is "supposed" to teach you, you can get off the wheel and you don't have to be reincarnated again. Those Eastern mystics might have something there. Or as Bob Dylan said once,

"And here I sit so patiently
Waiting to find out what price
You have to pay to get out of
Going through all these things twice."

As for hypnotic regression, I don't see that as any different from a weird dream your brain cooked up - doesn't mean it actually had to have happened for your brain to conceive of it.

Answer 6

I think it does exist. It has too! I mean, like you said, how could people recall past lives if there was no such thing? Basically, reincarnation is the cycle of being born, going through life, dying, being born, etc.In a way, reincarnation confirms the existence of a soul, because when the body dies, what's left, right? When it comes to remembering past lives, I think we can't remember them because we're not supposed to. Because if we knew what we had done in past lives, we would be horrified at some of the acts we had committed. And since everyone is learning, they bring those life lessons learned with them into their next life.

Answer 7

If we speak of reincarnation of souls in new human beings mathematics say it is not possible. Imagine the humans, from the origins to present days. The number of their souls summed up through the centuries would not be sufficient to justify the 6 billions we are today. A make-up of fresh souls was absolutely necessary. How can we justify the disparity in treatment between recycled individuals and brand new ones? If we speak of reincarnation in different type of animals, mathematics may approve it, but justice not. A Indian cow would have a much more pleasant life than a Texan one. Conclusion: reincarnation does not exist.

Answer 8

Yes. We all return as mulch.

Otherwise... no.

As for when someone recalls something under hypnosis: We are capable of great creativity, even to the point we fool ourselves. It is easy to create a false memory - just try it!

Imagine something happening yesterday that didn't happen. Run through it over and over, recreating what you saw mentally. Do this enough times and eventually it will seem like an actual memory.

There is no coming back, no heaven, no Jesus, no second chances - but if any of that makes you feel better about things, you go for it.

Answer 9

I believe it does but there are times it is dangerous to go into regression just to find it. If you are not ready, your mind can be just working to create what you think is okay but not real.
The helpful hint but not foolproof would be trying to study deeper about where you are in your life right now, what things around you fascinates you most, where do you think you would be happiest to be, which part of world's past history are you most interested to learn.
However if I were you, I will try to live and enjoy every moment of my life now. Living in a moment oftentimes prepare you to a basically strong foundation in life for the future and sometimes help you to stumble to finding what was it that you left behind in your past life. Knowing your past sometimes or even oftentimes will just you put to a stand still and that will just make you see the future blindly.

Answer 10

You know that we all search for answers...and I am positive that it exists as surely as heaven and hell exist. An interesting read for you would be, 'In Search Of Bridey Murphy' about a past life that is recalled..a 19th century Irishman. It is available on Amazon.com. The book certainly piqued my curiosity about reincarnation...but then again, like my grandfather used to say, "Paper lies still; you can put anything on it." And you know something else? That keyboard lies still too.

Answer 11

I have no idea but I think that past life regression is a scam, rather like seances are. Why is it with past life regression there seem to be dozens of Napoleons or Cleopatras? Doesn't lend credence to past life regression at all.
