Of course reincarnation is real, but there are numerous lies told about it, such as that karma is punishment rather than enlightenment, that "bad" people return as animals, etc.
Jesus was an Essene rabbi. Essenes taught and believed in reincarnation -- that's a fact. Baptism and being "born again" originally related to birth in a new body.

There are many problems with the salvation-by works doctrine of reincarnation. First, there are many practical problems. For example:
1. We must ask, why does one get punished for something he or she cannot remember having done in a previous life?
2. If the purpose of karma is to rid humanity of its selfish desires, then why hasn't there been a noticeable improvement in human nature after all the millennia of reincarnations?
3. If reincarnation and the law of karma are so beneficial on a practical level, then how do advocates of this doctrine explain the immense and ever-worsening social and economic problems - including widespread poverty, starvation, disease, and horrible suffering - in India, where reincarnation has been systematically taught through out its history?
There are also many biblical problems with believing in reincarnation. For example, in 2 Corinthians 5:8 the apostle Paul states, "We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord." At death, the, the Christian immediately goes into the presence of the Lord, not into another body. In keeping with this. Luke 16:19-31 tells us that unbelievers at death go to a place of suffering, not into another body.
Further, Hebrews 9:27 assures us that "man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment." Each human being LIVES ONCE as a mortal on earth, DIES ONCE, and then FACES JUDGMENT. He does not have a second chance by reincarnating into another body.

From a Buddhist pov: It's completely a logical concept when I look at it logically and analytically. Even the Buddhist concept of the "bardo" (in-between "state" between death and rebirth) sounds like what people claim they're seeing and "feeling" when they're clinically dead and "brought back".

I believe that there are souls in the universe who form connections with one another, and that, in itself, is grounds for it. However, I see reincarnation as a sort of, say, for want of a better term, a "pergatory" or chance to correct mistakes made in one's past life and a "grace chance" to re-connect with souls with whom we've lost touch.

Regarding reincarnation, I think it's not real.
The alleged claims of reincarnation, well I believe it's because they inherited past spirits.
I think that our body is composed of our body, spirit and soul, our spirit is sort of like our mind and conscience, more or less our Earthly soul.
I think that some people for some unknown reason instead of having an original spirit, they inherit the spirit of others and thus having a recollection of the past.

It makes sense. Are you aware of the energy sac around you? We are just in another stage of development, with this life growing us for the next.

For you to be claiming you are a muslim and using a muslim name, you seem to know very little about your religion. Pray to Allah that you find your answers. ;)

i believe in it... but i think its a choice.. i think we go to heaven (or hell, which btw, i dont think hell is a permanent place) we have the choice to stay there however long we want.. but we can come back to earth, when ever we feel like it.

I do not believe in it. I believe in the Bible record.
