Do you beleive in past lives? if so why?

Answer 1

I thought it was silly.

A friend suggested a past life regression so I tried it.

An amassing story unfolded before me that was filled with emotions and details that would be hard to make up If you purposely tried.

It made a believer out of me.

Answer 2

there is some amazing evidence by children regarding past lives that it does make you think
however i can think of a few possibilities they may be experiences such things
i am on the fence with past lives but i have to admit , the more i read or hear about it and the evidence that comes with it , i am edging more towards believing it

how can a small child tell of a country that they have never visited , in great detail.... and tell of a family that they never knew , and with investigation , this family is found
yes definitely something in it I'm sure

Answer 3

Personally for me it is not a " belief" but a fact.
There is tremedous amounts of documented evidence, reports
etc to validate this, in addition to my own knowledge and experience of it.
Recommend you read:
"Have You Lived Before this Life" or "Mission into Time"
Both books contain extensive researched and documented
evidence. Both written by L Ron Hubbard.
Im am certain you will find many more from other sources if you do the research.

Answer 4

I think I believe in one eternal life of the soul, that incarnates to work out karma a number of times. This is grace and mercy to me, as we have multiple opportunities to evolve spiritually. Yet, I'm not sure what is evolving, or why we mostly forget other incarnations.

Because of this, I feel that nothing in life is a mistake, only an opportunity to transcend the error of illusion.

I have had a couple of spontaneous experiences that seemed like previous incarnations.

Answer 5

I believe in the possibility of past lives... maybe because of how the Tibetan monks find a successor to the Dalai Lama. As a small child, Kundun was able to identify possessions of the former Dalai Lama. There are other accounts of people identifying things, being able to recount past experiences, places, etc. Who knows--- there are many other really far-fetched things that others believe in, so reincarnation is possible to me.

Answer 6

The law of karma is postulated as follows: "As you sow, so shall you reap". The 'reaping' is implied across several lifespans and not necessarily during the one in which 'sowing' is done. You are the architect of your future. Clearly, this law is a call for right action in order to ensure a bright future.

The theory of predestination, on the other hand, states that the future is predetermined. The question arises: Why then should we struggle to carry out right action? We might as well relax and enjoy life.

On the face of it, it seems the two notions of karma and predestination are contradictory, insofar as their implication towards calling for right action is concerned. But is this really so?

Person A is told that if he takes Action 1, he shall be rewarded; but if he takes the comparatively easy alternative, Action 2, then punishment awaits him. Clearly, these conditions should motivate Person A to take Action 1.

Now we introduce Person B, a close acquaintance of Person A. In fact, he knows the psyche of Person A so well that he can precisely predict his choice in the given scenario. Person B writes down on a piece of paper what action Person A is expected to take and folds it up.

Sure enough, Person A takes just that action and is consequently rewarded/punished accordingly. At this juncture, Person A opens the paper and lo and behold! He finds his pre-ordained future action revealed to him.

In the above example, can we say that the motivation associated with the reward for right action (Action 1) for Person A was in any way reduced just because Person B could predict his action in advance? There appears to be no rational basis for coming to such a conclusion.

Extrapolate the example to the theories of karma and predestination. Person A represents human beings while Person B, God, credited with being omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient.

Omniscience should logically imply knowledge of the future, since God is believed to transcend time. But proponents of 'free will' would object to this interpretation. Let us then grant to God full knowledge of at least the present.

Specifically, that He knows completely the psyche of each human being as also every set of circumstance that exists in the present moment. And therefore he can predict with absolute certainty what action each individual will take at any point in time.

Now assume the law of karma to be in operation. Since God, being omniscient, knows what man will sow at any instant and the law of karma rigidly ties what is sowed to what is reaped, it follows that God knows what will be reaped by man in the future, even before the sowing is done.

God, then, is in a position to record the future with absolute certainty. Man's future is, thus, predetermined. So there is no inherent contradiction between the theories of karma and predestination.

Predestination appears to so strongly support the cause of easy-going people because it is often overlooked that, while the future may be predetermined, it is known only to God, since God alone knows the psyche of man fully, better than man himself, which in fact gives rise to the notion of 'free will', seen from the point of view of man.

The only thing man knows is that the law of karma is in operation. Against this backdrop, every rational individual would be motivated to carry out right action, notwithstanding an assumption of predestination.

Answer 7

Yes i do and i hope to get a past life regression done in the very near future.

Answer 8

I say no because if you read the bible and believe in God, why would he make up more than one individual when he has the power to create the heavens and earth and make us the way we are, why would he make us to be and be and be!!!!!!!!!

Answer 9

only Gods

Answer 10

we will be forgiven the way we forgive others.....and it might take a while to get it done.....
