Let say in the future you are frozen using cryonics upon death by a family member or by actions you took while alive with the intent of being revived when technology has progressed to the point of being able to revive and completely heal you of what led to your death or suffering. What would happen if your body was revived while you were currently in the afterlife or reincarnated into another life already?

If the body remains in resuscitable form then there is a good chance that no reincarnation will take place. However, if reincarnation does take place then one of three things may happen. 1. The body cannot be brought back to life. 2. some other person will be reincarnated into it. 3. Your new reincarnated life will suddently end and you will come back to your previous body. :-)

We are talking theory here, of course. As a body of matter can only hold on soul at a time, the situation you describe cannot actually occur.
If the body was preserved whilst the occupant was still attached, the soul on awakening would be the same one - most likely not in prime condition - and at the awakening it would appear to the person that little time had passed.
If the body was dead at preservation, it would stay dead, and would be no more alive than the mammoths we find every now and then in the ice.
But it's a fun question, and generates some interesting ideas.

A dog was revived after cryopreservation. But the dog was frozen alive, and so its soul has not left the body. The dog came back to life to be itself again.
If a human was frozen after he died, his soul has already left. If the soul is reincarnated, his old body will never be revivable.
As for afterlife, judgment day is far away. His soul is still on earth. So he may be revived, if technology can cure him.

Wow!
Why didn't I see this before? You are so right that not only will I give up my faith in reincarnation I'm also going out in the morning to find out how to join the Atheist so I too can fight against the evils of faith.
Oh wait, that's right my faith has nothing to do with this universe so never mind.
I'll tell ya...
**I look around and whisper**
(The soul is divine and exist in a timeless manner. From the souls perspective you have lived and live and will live as every thing on every world that has ever lived.)
Keep it between us though it's like a big secret or something.

Once you died and were frozen, your soul has fled and gone off to live other adventures in other bodies. Therefore you couldn't be revived. Life has gone. Death remains. Only if you hung around as a ghost attached to your old body could you even have a chance of being revived.

Assuming reincarnation exists (i don't personally believe in it) I would say... That your body would not revive properly if your spirit was already in another body or maybe the body you were in would die and you would go to your first body. If you were in the afterlife, you might be sent back into your revived body... that's what I think.
Thanks for asking that question, it was really interesting to think about!

Ecc 12:6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.
Ecc 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
Once you are with God then He isn't going to push you out of Heaven because of technology.

In terms of a locational afterlife (such as heaven) I have no idea. In terms of Hindu reincarnation, I couldn't tell ya. But in terms of Buddhism Rebirth, it's possible that our consciousness might fragment, or something like that.
I don't necessarily believe in and afterlife or reincarnation or any of that, but that's a really interesting question to think about.

Everyone does. We all were given a sense of God and the afterlife by God when we were created. I'm a christian, and I agree with you about organized religion. I'm sure, though, it's not the organized part you are against, it's the religion part. Me too. My faith and love for God is about a relationship, not a religion. Religion is man's attempt to get closer to God. A relationship is what God wants to have with us. Read the Bible and work on your relationship. Good luck in your search.
