I know it's true that when you die you start a brand new life. I have been thinking about it and I'm not in a hurry to do it anyway but I would change my gender (I'm not gay.), keep my race and be a more...feely, and emotional person. Do you change or tell God who you want to be because it is up to Him who you come back as? I heard it is also possible to remember what your previous life was like (I don't remember what my last life was like when I died last life.). Is that true?
When I do die and come back a new child I want to remember my goals and ambitions and have the same hobbies and likings. Is THAT possible?

Your karma determines the circumstances of your return. People who live good lives generally return to improved conditions, while those who live greedy, violent, chaotic lives incur a "karmic debt" which has to be repaid. If this seems unclear, you should read about Buddhism to learn more. The path is now open to you. Through meditation you can raise the level of your spiritual nature and escape karmic debt, but some of the things you are wishing for are not possible, because they originate from worldly attachments. Only accomplished spiritual masters enjoy the kind of control you are talking about, because they have overcome those attachments. Peace.

Reincarnation is not possible. Our life is just a sequence of memories. That's what people for centuries have mistaken as the "soul". See any baby around you. He'she's learning new things. No one is reincarnated or can be reincarnated, because any way the brain size of an old human is far larger than that of a baby, and it is impossible to fit it in. You are not your soul, you are your brain. Face it. When you die, you die.
You're using a computer right now. Do you think the hard drive you're using right now, if you burnt it up, and then brought another new hard disk of the same company (considering the company to be the in the role of God) would you find the same data inside? You'll have to put the old data into the new one, but that's impossible after it's destroyed. So your cranial data can't be changed to a new brain so that you remember your memories or feelings(which are just chemical reactions) of your past life. Get it?

I believe your next life is determined, mostly, on your karma (the good and bad things you do) during this and past lives. We have lessons to learn, and the major life situations you receive are repercussions/rewards from past lives. My 4 year old daughter told me that she remembered "picking" her grandaddy before she was "here". The great thing about that is she is sooo close and naturally drawn to him out of all family members. Who knows, maybe you can pick some things?

: D. u said that u want 2 bcum a more sensitive person. that will probably make ur goals different as ur personality is different.

well umm your gender ming change and so is ur race but reincarnation simply means recycling, so your emotions and personalitys will remain nearly the same.

well to a degree yes everyone has a purpose and if you fail or neglect that purpose then you will be reincarnated if you succeed then you go to heaven and then you are judged according to your life'(s) work.

No. You won't remember. It's karma. Try your best to do good in your life.
