do you believe in reincarnation?

Answer 1

Yes, I do. Reincarnation explains a lot about the inequities of life that traditional religion does not. If people can believe in the evolution of physical beings over time, why is believing in the spiritual evolution that comes from repeated incarnations that allow the spirit to evolve into a higher being make any less sense? To me it makes total sense.

Answer 2

This is a good question and obviously most Christians and such are going to say no. I personally feel that it is a possibility, but unlikely. The more intriguing question is how? Do we automatically find a new body when we die or do we have a resting period in between? Some may argue that the world population has grown and it would be impossible, but what if animals also reincarnate as humans? This one question simply leads to many other hard to answer questions, but I believe that anything is possible.

Answer 3

Yes, and there are scientific grounds for it.

When a person dies, their brain releases all that it's accumulated in one short blast of brain waves. Everything that was stored in the subconscious is flushed out in a shock wave. Well, when intercepted, by say an unborn child, which in this case would be a "blank slate", these brain waves are written into the child's subconscious. Voila, reincarnation.

Since the body is an extension of the soul and the mind is the conscious body of the soul, those brain waves basically are the soul.

Also, when two or more "blank slates" intercept these brain waves, the information is written on all of them. That's why some people have claimed to have the same past life.

But if no one dies near them at the time of birth, then the person could grow up without having a past life at all. Their mind would be developing with nothing to go by. All that really does is create a lack of the Deja Vu effect.

With this theory, that would also include the reincarnate of animals as people. "Well then, wouldn't those people react as an animal would then?" some people would ask. The answer is no and here's a very good quote to explain why.

"I do not react as a wolf would, I react as a wolf would whose soul has been placed in a human body and raised in a human society for 18 years."

On a scientific level, which would you be more inclined to believe, this theory? Or that we go up into the sky and be judged for our actions whether they be good or bad AS DEFINED BY a god of disputed religions?

Answer 4

We can experience reincarnation even in this lifetime. Reincarnation means changing our body, now, where is that body that we had when we took birth? It's certainly going, now at older age we have a completely different, bigger and brand new body. We change the cells of our body every seven years. That means that if we are 21 years old, we've reincarnated 3 times already.
"As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. A sober person is not bewildered by such a change".
Bhagavad-gita As It Is 2.13

Answer 5

Yes, I absolutely do. Nothing else makes anywhere near as much sense, that is if you really understand what it is about. Some people make some of the most ridiculous statements regarding what they think reincarnation is about. But when you really understand it, you can't beat it.

Answer 6

Yes, but rebirth with a new soul, same spirit and evolved personality of old souls. Otherwise, if reincarnation is about just rebirth of the old soul then it wouldn't be difficult to remember the past, Would it not?

Answer 7

I do believe in reincarnation. I can tell looking at someones face if he was a dog, cat, or a horse in his previous life. You too can do that if you look closely.

Answer 8

Yes.

You can only use so many cups in your cupboard until you have to wash and re-use them.

Answer 9

Nope.

Answer 10

I do. Energy is constantly recycled in the universe.. why not souls?
