Reincarnation?

Question

When people die they either go to Heaven or Hell. How come sone people are reincarnated? Will they be in a different time zone? Past or future?

Answer 1

Carnation is revealed in the Bible.

Heaven and Hell is the myth passed on to children generation to generation.

The Bible speaks, however, of a resurrection from the dead.

Answer 2

Reincarnation, literally "to be made flesh again", is the belief that some essential part ( the soul, the divine self, the ego) of a living being (in some variations only human beings) survives death to be reborn in a new body. According to such beliefs, a new personality is developed during each life in the physical world, but some part of the being remains constantly present throughout these successive lives as well, usually to complete a learning lesson they didn't get yet.

Belief in reincarnation is an ancient phenomenon. It is central within the majority of Indian religious traditions, such as Hinduism (including Yoga, Vaishnavism, and Shaivism), Jainism, and Sikhism. The idea was also entertained by some Ancient Greek philosophers. Many modern Pagans also believe in reincarnation as do some New Age movements, along with followers of Spiritism, practitioners of certain African traditions, and students of esoteric philosophies such as Kabbalah, Sufism and Gnostic and Esoteric Christianity. The Buddhist concept of Rebirth although often referred to as reincarnation differs significantly from the Hindu-based traditions and New Age movements in that there is no "self" (or eternal soul) to reincarnate.

They can go anywhere (time zone wise) but time itself only moves forward and this place is bound by the rules of the time-space continuum.

Here's a theory floating everybody's boat:

We are reincarnated several times and if we do not find our path we go to hell (being earth, being trapped in a physical body). If we do, we go to heaven (moving on and becoming "physically" one with the higher conciousness)

Or, hell could be a place of absolutely no beauty, earth is like the middle, we have things of absolute beauty and things of absolute corruption.
Perhaps, you can never escape the bad, as well as the good, there will always be a dot of black in the white and a dot of white in the black (yinyang).

Anyways, maybe we just stay our form for eternity. So like if my true form was a flower, I'd be a cosmic flower god somewhere, in some dimension, in some galaxy.
And I would guide someone. I'd become a spirit guide, because once you know the way you can lead others (well, if that is your purpose, or if that is purpose)

These are all just ideas I'm throwing out there ;-)

Answer 4

Heaven or hell is the belief of Christians. Reincarnation is Buddhist belief. There are Christians however, who couldn't resist to believe in Reincarnation as they also would tell you some agreement with their intuitions or experiences.
They borrowed the words Karma, Soul Mate, Past life but if you will have to ask their pastors or priests the answer will be, it is not true as far as their religion is concern.
The Catholics are even applying the Art of Feng Shui in their way of lives which is frowned upon by the Vatican authorities.

Answer 5

Buddhism teaches that when a person dies they are reborn and that this process of death and rebirth will continue until Nirvana is attained.

Most religions believe that the core of the person, the real person, is the soul, a non-material and eternal entity that survives in the afterlife. Buddhism on the other hand says that the person is made up of thoughts, feelings and perceptions interacting with the body in a dynamic and constantly changing way. At death this stream of mental energy is re-established in a new body. Thus Buddhism is able to explain the continuity of the individual without recourse to the belief in an "eternal soul", an idea which contradicts the universal truth of impermanence.

Answer 6

Belief makes things real. I personally don't believe in a heaven or hell or a reward and punishment system. We are just energy growing and learning. We come back to learn more. Earth is a great school. I know this is a joke question but I find myself so self important that I LOVE to answer everything with a serious know it all tone. Hope it works for you : P

Answer 7

Heaven and Heaven and states of mind. You can live in Heaven right now, or choose to live in Hell, it is your choice based on how you choose to live your life.

When we die, we ALL go back to the same Divine Source we came from. Many names, i.e. God, Allah, The Most High, the Creator, but all the same One entity. When you go back to that Source, you can review your past lives, see what lessons you may or may not have learned and decide to come back to the physical realm again, to learn more lessons. The point? Evolution of the soul. You decide what you want to come back as, we always have choice in these matters and spiritual beings that help us along in our journey with God at the forefront.

Spirit never dies, it only transforms.

Answer 8

I believe in reincarnation but not heaven and hell. You just keep going until they get it right. They might have time zones...hard to ask them since they are dead. ;)

Answer 9

Ok this is my beliefs and only mine.

Our souls choose to reincarnate to learn more, to experience more. We don't have to reincarnate right away if that's what we choose.

I also believe that time is not linear. It get pretty complicated actually.

Answer 10

No "people" are reincarnated- just the facets of their consciousness that survive without the ego.
