are you open minded about reincarnation possibilities?

Question

if you are go ahead and talk about it :)

in response to the flying pig, you really should research this topic a little further before making such a "non intelligent " statement. for a start check out the wikipidia and watch some documentaries about it, and while you are at it they do have scientific studies on it. Never seen any studies on FLYING PIGS my friend.

Alan that is a very cute answer, egyptian meetings,lol :)

to james go ahead and read what is on this link
Bible and reincarnation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I was unable to put the link but google it under bible and reincarnation .

Answer 1

Reincarnation is a truth ... If your book does nto mention it, Truth does not become false...

Reincarnation is perhaps a wrong word used...hindus and Buddhists use Re-Birth instead.

Our soul starts its journey in chemicals...and after each awakening find itself in plants, animals and finally human beings.

As humans we have to learn millions of lessons of pains and joys, richness and poverties, cruelty and kindness, killing and be killed, ...till we reach our next mind evolution i.e. Divinity.

One life is not sufficient for all these lessons. hence our soul after death goes to another body to learn other sets of lessons

The paradoxes as to why some are born rich some poor, some without mind or without limbs...some from poverty going to utter richness...some spiritual from childhood... can not be explained without Reincarnation

Dont ask proof, because no one can give proof of God or heaven/hell...there are certain things which are beyond physical proofs
Many during the hypnotic state have remembered their last birth.

Why we dont remember past birth? Because Nature does not want us to get entangled to our last relations...so that we can freely learn new lessons...that z why She takes away the gross memory at death..and leads soul to new body with the resultant progress earned during last births.

Answer 2

Reincarnation is a logical impossibility. The reasons for this are too many to discuss here. If it exists, then there has to be a purpose to it. Otherwise, why are you returning?

Most people claim it is to evolve the soul by coming back over and over again to this corrupt world to learn the lessons you didn't learn the last time. What lessons?

I've chosen the best way to evolve if reincarnation is true:
The world is a mess. Agree? Why is it a mess? Here's the simple explanation: Have you ever heard people say that we each must change the man in the mirror before we can begin to make the world a better place? I believe this is true, because the cause of all suffering in the world must begin with humanity. Agree?

But, why are we suffering? I must be the sum total of all of our deeds. One person tells a lie and ruins a relationship and the family is destroyed. Another robs and kills an young lady who's pregnant. He goes to jail and the other leaves behind two children with no parents because the father is nowhere to be found. Amother is a greedy CEO of a fortune 500 company and makes deals with foreign dignitaries to enrich himself at the expense of a local village where he loots the natural resources of the area.

To sum it up, our evil deeds, no matter how great or small, are the cause of ALL the suffering in the world.

I think reincarnation does not exist because it doesn't deal with the problems of sin. You may theorize that it does, but you are only playing a guessing game. If you can't admit that sin is the cause of suffering, you will have to be sent back again in the supposed next life.

The Bible says that we live once and then comes the judgement. It also says that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. God is holy, rightious and without sin. He will not let sin enter into His heavenly glory. All sin is punishable with death (eternal seperation from God in a place called Hell). The thing is, you don't have to go there. You can live with God the creator of all things forever if you forsake your sins and believe in the Son of God Jesus Christ. He was God in the flesh. The creator himself came to earth and dwelt among his own creation, and they did nit love him or want him. His own creation forsook him and killed him. Jesus, the innocent who never commited sin, who was God, and God is love, died for the sins of the world, the just for the unjust.

You can forget about reincarnation and go straight to Heaven if you follow Jesus. Do you want to risk being wrong? Why put your hopes in reincarnation when the supposed purpose of it is to evolve you to perfection. You will never be perfect. There was One, who was perfect for you. Accept his sacrifice so that you don't have to die for your sins.

Answer 3

Yes I am, I'm just sad it's a yes or no answer, because otherwise, i could talk about it for hours:)

Oks, thanks:)
So, it's been a while since i made a research on the different religions (not only the currently existing ones) and it turned out that people don't restrict the idea of reincarnation to a defined limits it varies a lot from one religion prespective to another.

As a pure enthusiast (I haven't chosen a specific theory for me but I enjoy studing them) I have my favourite of course.

In general its basics lie in the following : You are born you live and build up a character, knowledge and gather experience. Then you die your soul "returns" to the collective consciousness and to you as a whole, and the newly acquired knowledge unites with all the experience and knowledge you've gather through your previous lives. You now remember evrything and become whole and superior in a way. Still you are not enough good or wise or complete, that's why you reincarnate and begin a new life, you leave behind the knowledge of the previous life so as to start the new life unbiased and unprejudiced. In the buddhism this continuous cycle of reincarnation (samsara) is accepted as originating grief (mocsha) for it prevents you or at least postpones from your eventual goal: which is the eventual and permanent unification with the source- the sum of all souls completed their reincarnation cycle.

hahhaha, long right.:) Well, i'm inclined to believe in the notion: bad killers reincarnate in victims, and hunters-in deers, but, it's a different story:)

Cheers!

Answer 4

Reincarination - a good subject to debate upon.
I have some repeated question in my mind like what is the cause of death of a person? why a just born die and why a bad person live for a long time? what is the logic behind that? as per some beleif they say after death soul leaves the body and goes to hell or heaven and say nothing after that what happens to that, but in some beleif its said occording to the karma ( sins and good things done ) the soul rests in heaven or hell and returns back to earth with a new life. but in this case to i have my doubhts, why is there such a big increase in population if souls donot reproduce and just reincarinate why is this expansion in population, some say there is no soul for other living beings except human, some say its there for all living beings, so only if there is a soul for all living being the souls need not be re procued and can be just reincarinated to justify the increase in population. But again a question if all creatures have soul why does some species extinct like dinosaur?, and why is there no new creatures seen during the human period till now?, may be there is life in other part of universe and the souls are transfered from there to here and viseversa,? tons and tons of question.... any way thanks for your question.

Answer 5

I'd love it if reincarnation was true.

What evidence do you have?

And please don't say that you were once an Egyptian king because I was once an Egyptian king and I never saw you at any of the meetings.

A

Answer 6

Very much so. even the early Christian Belived in it.now it is left to so called fringe religions like Pagans and such. a full circle as that is where the idea came from.

Answer 7

I don't believe in souls, so I can't believe in reincarnation. Proof (or at least credible evidence) is my standard.

That being said, nothing is impossible.

Answer 8

No, either you can remember your past lives and there's evidence for it, or you can't remember anything so you may as well have died anyway. The entire concept is flawed and full of mystical plot holes.

Answer 9

I believe we are a energy & yes our bodies go back to the earth, but our souls is a energy that never dies, just recycles back to life in some form.

Answer 10

Yes, I try to be open minded when it comes to all situations especially when it comes to a possible afterlife.
