Do you believe in reincarnation?

Question

if you do, what were you before this life? do you think that you could be the opposite gender?

Answer 1

If you are not a Hindu, you might not think it is true. Hindus believe in reincarnation, that once a person dies, their body is left and the soul moves on. Read a little bit about Hinduism and reincarnation, just so you get the picture. It is all quite interesting if you ask me. I am not sure what I was in my previous life, for people come to this answer very rarely. And being the opposite gender, I think it wouldn't matter to us at that point. We would think, "No way", but who knows? It is all up to our Creator who decides everything for us, how our life shall go on, and how it should end.

Of course, different religions believe different things, so am I not one to judge other religions.

Answer 2

I was not of another sex.but probably people go from gender to gender.
I woke up from a dream startled.shocked almost. because i was someone else.in that dream i had. a grown man. as i was like five years old.i had been in a large tent. i sat at a folding table on a folding chair and maps in front of me. and i could See the flags thru the folds of the tent flaps. and men in Grey uniforms were coming in .and i woke up because that consciousness wasn't mine, It was totally someone else. and grown up. and well,. i do believe i was a Confederate officer and i drew a picture of the battle flag the next day.and my parents who are southerners didn't recognize it and later i saw one and recognized it as the one in my dream.well. there were two flags on that pole i had put in that place so i could see them as i sat in my chair in the tent.i don't remember what the other flag looked like completely , it was blue though .all blue with something on it in the middle.i sometimes get tears in my eyes when is see movies about that war.and my parents nor anyone around me ever talked about that war.so i must feel something from that other life?I collect Confederate items.and things from that era.I have never told anyone about this. except my mother and dad that one time.Its no ones business really but mine.But i thought i would tell you since you asked.
and it makes sense to have reencarnation.a little baby dies,what then.that baby needs to live life experinace life.so of course it should come back again.i think reincarnation is not for everyone. we can get spiritualy to an advanced state where we dont need to come back, thats why were here,. to learn and grow.then go on to be with God and i believe be co workers with God in the heavens.but it takes a long time getting there.some people call it the wheel of the awagowon .life lived over and over .if i spelled that right the thought of reincarnation scares most people. i believe in God and his wisdom so i am not afraid.

Well, you can find out in pretty short order. Team up with a friend and read Dianetics, the Modern Science of Mental Health. Then do the exercises on each other and see what what happens. It's pretty much guaranteed saw off the lock to a closed mind providing you're literate enough and persistent enough to apply it with precision.
It's a subject that those with questionable or agonizing pasts fear the most and protest loudest.
I did it and had a riot.

Answer 4

No but people have told me that I would have been an animal! But I really dont think we are born again! Life is what you make it when you are here on earth! You can be spiritual with out believing in a heaven or a hell, and that goes along with reincarnation and death!

Answer 5

Yes, i definately do.. i was thinking of asking a similar question before i read yours. I believe that i was a women from a wealthy family from the late 1800's.. i just feel this strong connection with that era and ive been told my personality is similar to what a wealthy women in the 1800's would have been like.

Answer 6

I have a different view of reincarnation....i think of it as anytime someone goes through a tough experience in life..death of a child, disease etc etc...any of the struggles that life challenges us with.....and once you jump these hurdles...you feel alive again,....and to me thats the true meaning of reincarnation.....coming out a positive person each time you experience a negative effect................so yes reincarnation does exist and we experience it all the time

Answer 7

No. I do believe a human being can change his ways or behavior in one life time. But I think he only has one life time to do it with. So that is why we should live our the time in each day wisely and not waste it. It would be best to always change from bad to good.

Just look at nature. A snake can shed it's skin but only in this life time. An eagle can molt, that is get rid of it's feathers time and again but only in this life time. Even a caterpillar can change into a butterfly, but only in that one life time.

Answer 8

And how could I possible know or care to know the answer to such silly detail questions as those two?
I was going to say, yeah, I think spirit goes on forever, but not that I'd ever care to say I was owner of a printing press, ink and paper in a past life, or whatever in the next, or now, or whenever! Now let's just chill here. Ok, me. excuse...

Answer 9

Nope.

Answer 10

the spirit is eternal, the body dies only once, but the soul lives twice
