reincarnation?

Question

How can you tell that you have been reincarnated or that someone around you has been reincarnated from someone you have known before? Is it possible for someone of the present to be reincarnated from someone of the past, if so how can you tell that you are the reincarnation of somebody?

Answer 1

the vast majority of people have, its not like an uncommon thing.

reincarnation doesnt neccesarily mean that "you" were someone famous. in fact most of the time you aren't.

>>"What evidence do we have? "Regressing" always seems to make you an Egyptian princess or something, never a dustman. "<<

this is simply not true, many past life regressions result in memories of relatively mundane lives. another point would be that mundane lives are also generally rather unremarkable... and wouldn't be worth much attention. (the way these are generally worded, would naturally pass over stuff of little consequence)

>>"It is appointed unto persons ONCE to die, and then the judgement."<<

thats specific to the body, genius.

Reincarnation is a fact of life.

>>"One easy explanation: memories imparted by evil spirits who are live and were alive back then and know what happened then. "<<
yeah, and the dinosaur bones are there to challenge your faith too huh?

Look up the book "Many Lives, Many Masters" its written by a Psychiatrist who never believed in reincarnation, until one time he did a hypnotic regression, which HAPPENED to "track" to an issue from a past life. and worked with the person over time to deal with various problems over various lives... ect. its a great book.

Answer 2

Sometimes you can tell through dreams and unconscious memories of some sort.

For years, I have had images and dreams and unconscious memories of being a women in the 19th century standing in a street. My mom has had 3 memories of 3 different people all from the 20th century.

I do not know if it is real or not but it is interesting.

Answer 3

You have a feeling that you met that person before even though you know you haven't. Or you have a strong attraction for that person good or bad. There are times you dislike someone for no reason and you can't understand why. That person in another life time done you some harm and that feeling is still strong. That would be one reason we don't remember our previous lives. Peace and love to all.

Answer 4

I seem to have luck with spiritual things when I do them on the
spur of the moment. When I TRY to do it, NOTHING!
I used self-hypnosis twice, telling myself to dream of a past-life
before I went to sleep. Tell yourself to remember what you dream, and have a piece of paper and pen ready to write it down. You will lose the memory pretty quickly.
I have experienced two lives. One as an Egyptian priest I think, an initiate of Thoth. And once I was murderd while trying to
save my wife from bandits that raided our ranch.

Answer 5

It is rare to be able to know this but a rare few do though many claim they have this ability. It is not very important though. It is more important to understand where you are going not where you have been. That we are creating our next life by our present actions. Best to give up this taking Birth disease, old age and death. We should transcend. Easiest process is to chant the name of God and one gets rid of all of their Karma. One has to think of God at the time of death to go to the Supreme spiritual world where there is no suffering.

Answer 6

You can't know.

My current working hypothesis is that most 'past life' feelings are really about things that we hear about or witness (on television and elsewhere) before we are old enough to understand them. Then the synapses throw them back out into our conscious mind and our brains try to make sense of them, augmented of course by wishful thinking and our own need to feel important.

Answer 7

No reincarnation. It is appointed unto persons ONCE to die, and then the judgement.

No reincarnation; but there is coming resurrections .... a resurrection to Life and also a resurrection to judgement and banishment.

======================

So, what about some who allegedly have memories from their previous lives? One easy explanation: memories imparted by evil spirits who are live and were alive back then and know what happened then.

Answer 8

It is usually only evident in the childhood years, and even then it is hard to see. Very few people remember anything after this... We are not meant to know of our past lives, that much is evident...

Answer 9

REINCARNATION & YOGA EXPOSED

The Lord Jesus Christ taught that we live only once (Matthew 25:46) and that Salvation is found only through Him (John 6:35; John 8:12; John 14:6; John 10:9-11). The Bible does not teach the false doctrine of reincarnation. The doctrine of reincarnation is a cleaver lie of Satan who wants to deceive us into thinking that we could achieve salvation and liberation through our works/deeds and not by our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Lord Jesus Christ (the 2nd Person of the Triune Godhead) never taught or mentioned reincarnation. Some believe that in Matthew 11:7-14, Jesus meant that the prophet Elijah reincarnated as John the Baptist. Jesus called John the Baptist Elijah because John the Baptist came in the “spirit and power of Elijah”. The Bible is very clear on this:

Luke 1:17
And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.

In addition, John the Baptist himself specifically said he was not Elijah:

John 1:21
And they asked him, What then? Are you Elijah? And he said, I am not. Are you that prophet? And he answered, No.

The Holy Spirit (the 3rd Person of the Triune Godhead) said that many would fall for doctrines of demons (1 Timothy 4:1) and reincarnation is definitely a demonic doctrine. Demons are fallen angels and spirits of Nephilim. These beings make up Satan’s army and are bent on leading humans to destruction.

Persons who claim they were having memories of past lives are either not telling the truth or were actually receiving visions from evil spirits who have been around for thousands of years.

Demons implant memories in the minds of humans to make them believe in reincarnation, one of Satan’s key deceptions. A demon who lived in the body of a certain person, shared the same experiences and memories of that person. If that demon enters another person, that demon can transfer their memories to their new host. If the person doesn’t know the truth, they will think that they had lived previous lives. Demons can gain the right of way to enter a person when they practice sin. Allowing oneself to be hypnotized, taking drugs and practicing yoga are easy ways to becoming possessed by evil spirits. Demons can also enter an unborn foetus if one or both parents have unrepented sin.

Reincarnation is a false teaching – humans are given only one physical life (Hebrews 9:27). The Lord Jesus said that the human being’s afterlife state whether torment or paradise, will be eternal (Matthew 25:46). In the original text, the Greek word for eternal, “aiōnion” is used. He didn’t say that we would be born again and again until we got it right and received liberation. He would not have made that huge sacrifice for us if we could have had unity to God another way, and if there was another way, He would have taught that. The Lord said He could have employed legions of angels to prevent His crucifixion (Matthew 26:53), but because of His great and perfect love for humanity, He chose to endure a very painful death so we could be redeemed and united to God.

A Look at the Word, "Aionion"
https://carm.org/look-word-aionion

Yogic doctrines hold that there is “serpent energy” called kundalini located at the base of the human spine and this energy can be caused through yoga to rise to the brain to result in “God-realization”. Yogis believe that once this alleged state of God-Realization is achieved by an individual, she or he no longer needs to reincarnate. The truth is kundalini does not naturally reside within humans. Kundalini is actually a type of demonic entity which can gain entry into a human if the human practices yoga. I’ve already proven that reincarnation is false.

Shiva, one of the 3.3 million Hindu deities gave the doctrines of yoga to mankind. Shiva is called "lord of yoga" by the Hindus. He is also known as "lord of the third eye", "lord of the lingam (male sex organ)" “god of this world” and "god of destruction". As Christians we know that the “god of this world” and “god of destruction” is Satan (2 Corinthians 4:4; John 10:10). Shiva and Satan are the same being.

Satan likes to counterfeit God’s truths and he even has a counterfeit salvation – which is yoga. Kundalini (which is actually a type of demon) is the COUNTERFEIT Holy Spirit and the Siddhis are the COUNTERFEIT gifts of the Holy Spirit. Yoga was designed by Satan to put humans in contact with the Hindu deities (demons). Faith in Jesus as one’s Saviour puts one in union with God while yoga puts one in union with Shiva or another demon.

Yogis believe that the spirit of the human being is God but this is false. The human being has a physical body, soul and spirit. The spirit of a human being isn’t God but needs God. It is where one receives God when they accept the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour. Where the “S” in spirit is capitalized in the Bible, it refers to the Holy Spirit who is the third person of the triune Godhead. After one accepts Christ, the Holy Spirit (not their spirit) brings life to them (Romans 8:10). In Zechariah 12:1, we see that God formed the spirit of humans within them. As soon as one accepts the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour, the Holy Spirit takes up residence within their spirit making them a true child of God (Romans 8:15-16). The Holy Spirit enables us to have a spiritual understanding of the things of God (1 Corinthians 2:11).

Yogis and many users of entheogens mistake altered states of consciousness for Godly experiences. They erroneously attribute to these states such terms as God-Realization, Self-Realization, Enlightenment, Illumination, Unitive Knowledge of the Divine, Reentering the Kingdom and Reintegration.

DMT (dimethyltryptamine) is a hallucinogen found naturally in the mammalian brain. DMT can also be extracted from certain plants. Deep and prolonged practice of yoga causes the brain to release DMT and this induces altered states of consciousness, hallucinations and feelings of bliss. Individuals who consume or inject themselves with DMT derived from external sources achieve the same altered states and feelings as yogis who spend long years in yogic practices.

Many pagan mystics have believed and taught that Jesus practiced yoga and achieved enlightenment. The Lord Jesus Christ never supported yogic doctrines. Jesus is by nature God and the 2nd Person of the Triune Godhead which is made up of Adonai, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Because Jesus, unlike humans, is by nature God, He has full authority over all demons and creatures and was able to offer His body and blood to atone for the sins of mankind so we could by faith have unity to God.

The truth about Jesus Christ can be found only in the Holy Bible. Three days after the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, He resurrected from the dead (Luke 24:1-8; Acts 10:40; 1 Corinthians 15:4) and 40 days later, He ascended into Heaven (Acts 1:3; Luke 24:50-53; Acts 1:9-11).

Without God, the spiritual part of the human being is dead (Ephesians 2:5, Colossians 2:13). The sin of our first parents (Adam and Eve) caused the separation between God and man. Romans 6:23 says the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Sin causes us to be separated from God which results in spiritual death. Christ, the 2nd Person of the Triune Godhead was made flesh (through the immaculate conception) and paid the price for our sins by dying on the cross so we could through faith in Christ as our Saviour be instantly redeemed and united to God and have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit who teaches us, comforts us and grants us fruits to live in righteousness and gifts to help and edify the Church. There is no redemption or unity to God apart from receiving the Lord Jesus Christ as one’s Saviour and Lord.

A PERSON BECOMES A CHRISTIAN THROUGH FAITH. Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as one's Saviour is the ONLY WAY one can receive CLEANSING OF SINS (1 John 1:7), REDEMPTION (Ephesians 1:7), ADOPTION BY GOD (Romans 8:15), THE INFILLING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, the 3rd Person of the Triune Godhead (John 14:26; 1 Corinthians 6:19), SANCTIFICATION (Hebrews 13:12; 1 Corinthians 1:2), JUSTIFICATION (1 Corinthians 6:11), TRANSFORMATION (2 Corinthians 3:18; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Hebrews 9:12-14; Titus 3:5) and SALVATION (Romans 10:9; Revelation 21:8).

PRAYER TO ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOUR

"Dear Jesus, I am a sinner. I repent of my sins. Please forgive me and save me by Your shed blood. Come into my heart. I want to receive You as my own personal Lord and Saviour. Amen"

Answer 10

Now, (I've been saying this a lot tonight) there's the rub. What evidence do we have? "Regressing" always seems to make you an Egyptian princess or something, never a dustman.
