Why do you cling to the idea that we should be judged??
There is no reason at all for that to happen.
And for the next life I assume that we have a free choice.

i dont believe that re-incarnation is true, but i want to major in religion and philosophy so i do research these things when i get bored. re-incarnation means "to be made into flesh again". According to these beliefs, a new personality is developed in each life in the physical world, but some part of the person remains the same in each lifetime.

This idea is linked to karma. What goes around comes around. If you are good in one life, and behave well and do your part in society, then you will have a happy next life. but if you are cruel or mean, then you may become a frog, or a toad or something where you will really have to fight for suvival.

Reincarnation is true, but not in the way one commonly might think it could be. As a superficial view of a normal life would suggest that it has a beginning, an end, and a life full of hectic activities in between. These activities of life then would determine if a person is be reincarnated as a dog, or as a demigod - a new life after death in a previous one. But the finest point here is that what happens in the moments just after death, or in the moment just before a rebirth. Is there some delay in between? Does time for that person stops between these two occurrences? And does a being of a person remain alive throughout, or it tastes a certain death, for it does, then the being that is born again would not be the same, it would be an entirely new life.

My concept of reincarnation is very different from what is normally understood to be the case. I think a person in one lifespan lives and dies many times, in many moments. We all live many moments in our single lifetime. And the fact is that we all face trepidations of life for each moment. We all have our moments of lust and greed, for instance. The life of that moment then can be killed by lust to give way to the moment next. And then in that next moment, where we act, we may take a form of a dog or a hog, because in the moment just passed, we died lustfully.

Then there are moments in our life that are full of humanity, compassion and love. These are the moments where we abandon our bestial human condition to embrace divinity in our being. We live that moment but we sacrifice false life about us. Something inside us lived in love and then died for love, so that we may live forever; we reincarnate as better people for all the moments to come as noble and gracious human beings, until the cycle starts again and we surrender into misery of a moment.

Then who is to judge us for what we have been just a moment ago, for what we are now? We are the judges, of course, the judges of the way we pass our life. And for this very purpose we are endowed with a mind of reason and rationally, and a heart that constantly seeks wisdom and love.

Im glad this question was brought up because it's a lot simpler than it seems. I, as a person who believes in this concept, and as a follower of Hinduism, disregard memorizing what I would be judged on in this life and what I would be become in my next life. We reincarnate towards one goal. To finally attain moksha, or salvation from the ongoing cycle of births and deaths. To start the first step of successfully doing so, we must practice Karma Yoga, the fulfillment of our duty in this life. For example, if I was a child in school, my duty is to study, work hard, and challenge the limits. Doing what we have to do selflessly, and being the best people we can be are the fundamentals. At the same time, serving others and identifying the environment as the essence of the supreme self and representing an entity of selfless, cultured ingenuity opened to anyone through a seeing glass of love, affection, compassion, and understanding is seen as a pure symbol of the self. Living by the statement, "I am not this, I AM THAT" is the surest way t approach the selflessness so seemingly out of reach. By living to do God's work and loving Him unconditionally is devotion. This devotion and faith is what's necessary when it comes to reincarnation, not some philosophical interpretation.
Though Karma plays a role, I think a lot of people introduce it incorrectly. Karma is something that is inefficient without a foundation of understanding. For all those who believe in this concept, come to understand that Karma's fufillment is not for a utilitarian outcome. Its fufillment is for you to access an understanding of yourself beyond what you see as yourself now. Karma Yoga was established so prideless humility could reinforce the potential the human mind has for discovering the divine capacity of the intellect.

So all in all, you all can relate to this. Karma isn't only "what comes around goes around". It's an inherent understanding of who we are as human beings and made to be molding us so we may perform at our fullest potential. It's not an ego-fueling machine. It's a religious principle providing the key to selfless duty on a silver platter.

So do what you got to do with respect for what your doing beyond why you're doing it, and you wont be born as a mule next life.

After our last incarnation (death), we review the results of our past life – Were we able to accomplish our objectives? What did we learn? What do we need to learn still? What were our transgressions against our fellowmen?

Then together with our advisers, the Lords of Karma, we formulate a plan for our next life or incarnation. It is very much similar to consulting with guidance counselors before we enroll in University. We take stock of ourselves, our needs and objectives. And we decide which courses we should enroll in, the experiences that we need to undergo in order to learn all that we need to learn and develop the appropriate desired character traits, skills and talents.

But just as important, in repayment for our transgressions, there are some very undesirable experiences that we must also factor into our Plan. They are the precise consequences of our wrongful thoughts and deeds. This is how we are able to repay for our debts and transgressions. Justice may not be achieved in any one lifetime, but we can be certain that no one can escape the consequences of all our actions.

All this we freely commit to even before we are born. This plan then becomes our inescapable destiny in our next life.

Reincarnation isn't true, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Or rather, to be strictly logical, we have no way of knowing for sure that reincarnation isn't true - but all the evidence suggests that it isn't. You will only know for sure when you die, and for that matter, if it isn't true, you won't even know then, because you'll just be dead.

In any case - if it's true, you will presumably find out when you get there. If it isn't, you needn't worry, and should concentrate on how you live this life, as opposed to your next one.

If reincarnation is true, then so is karma. If you fall under the Lords of Karma, then they, and you, as Soul work out who, how, when, you become next. The good news, the wonderful news is that there is a way off.. if you're ready to get off, check out www.eckankar.org. I experience this as the true way out..

There is a more non-secular view of thought of reincarnation. That is that energy isn't created or destroyed and our lives are only workings of energy. When we die nothing ceases and only our energies change forms. We live on forever in the universe, a part of everything, everything a part of us. Then again, we're already part of everything.
