I believe in reincarnation but not in "karma", I think being "good" or "bad" has nothing to do with it.
I think after death you reincarnate as the human closest to you. Maybe not the closest but maybe someone in the same town as you.

Therefore say you travelled to New York and died there, there would be a very good chance you came back living in New York.

"What happens to the person you die close to when you take over thier body?"

Nothing, they would have no idea what just happened and would carry on as normal.

This is a cornerstone of my belief system. We don't remember because then we couldn't make the mistakes we need to make in order to learn. The earth is the big schoolhouse. We were all with God when the earth was created. It's also part of my belief in reincarnation, karma..so many things. I believe we do tend to be born over and over with the same people though. You ever met someone for the first time and instantly felt that you liked them already, or you disliked them already for no cause you can think of? Well that fits into my belief, and perhaps yours as well. My belief system makes the most sense to me out of all that I have studied, and I have studied a lot. I have never had a time in my life that I did not absolutely KNOW God. Honest. I know for me, finding the kind of info you found changed my life forever, for the better, and gave me clarity. It just makes sense to me when I learned more about it, and didn't judge it. I’m not trying to convince you of anything. It’s just that my belief is a bit different from yours, not better than, just different.
may peace be with you

I believe in reincarnation and karma.When we are reincarnated we are born again.When a child is born,your first breath and last is your spirit entering or leaving the body.I don't think we are reborn in the same town,I remember one of my past lives and I believe I was in England and I was born in Virginia,USA,not unless i had another life between the early 1800's and 1961.Look in my questions you can read about a dream I kept having when I was a child.
When it comes to karma I believe if you do something bad,it will come back to you in this life if not the next.I am a very good hearted person,but I have problems I can not over come ,problems with my personality.I think it has something to do with my past life.It's hard to explain,but some people would not think they are problems at all.

(Many blessings)

No, when you die its either heaven or hell man, if you are saved, you go to heaven, if not well, its not a good ending. Flames, heat not a pretty picture, give some thought to this, what if I am right, what if the Bible is right, it is the best selling book of all time you know, Its been said that in a survey 95% of the world believed in a higher power. You are definitely in the minority with this one, frankly I can't even imaging where you came up with it at anyway, Read your Bible, its the truth.

I believe that a person comes back as a member of the same extended family that he or she is a member of now and for all time. This is sort of group karma. Each family keeps going one generation after another with the same people. I also think that the friends and future wives and husbands are linked to us and they always find the people that they have unfinished business to work out in their future lives. So where we are reborn for the most part is predetermined by the karma that we ourselves have made.

I agree with the idea of no 'good or bad' Karma, but rather cause and effect. I also believe you have total automony is deciding how you want to reincarnate, although lives are planned with lots of help from guides. I also believe that you re-incarnate to experience the fruits of your labor, in other words, how you live today affects people in the future, so why not come back and live the consequences of a previous life.

Its an interesting concept i haven't thought about before.

So there is a time warp type thing?... if you are killed by a homeless man you are born as the homeless man because he was the closest human to you when you died and you live life as the homeless man and kill your former self? Can you change it and not kill your former self? What if you died giving birth? Would you come back as your child?

Oh OH what if a serial killer was someone who was stoned to death by an entire village in a former life?

"I think after death you reincarnate as the human closest to you. Maybe not the closest but maybe someone in the same town as you."

Do you mean you have to die near a pregnant woman, or do you just take over the body of the person you're standing next to? What happens to the person you die close to when you take over their body?

EDIT TO ADD: "Nothing, they would have no idea what just happened and would carry on as normal."

Then what happens to you? Are you consciously trapped inside them living inside them, seeing through their eyes?

What happens when they die? Do you both move on to the next person? Do you eventually end up with hundreds of people all trapped inside the body of one person? Are you aware of the other personalities trapped with you? If you are murdered, do you end up trapped inside the murderer and the have to watch helplessly as he kills other people and you can do nothing to stop him?

What if you lived on an island and all inhabitants were killed? What then since no one can procreate and "make" you? Where would you reincarnate then? As a fish?

Do you explain conjoined twins as two people that died at the same time that were living nearby?

You are your own Messiah, huh?

There are people who agree with that. If you're interested, you might look for a series of stories by H. Beam Piper generally labeled the Crosstime stories. One of them concerns a civilization that has proof of reincarnation, and the major political debate in said civilization is over the mechanics of reincarnation, with one side taking your position.

Edit: The guy simply asked if anyone agreed with him, folks. He didn't ask for a detailed critique of his opinion. Get off his case already.

IT's absurd. Death means the cesation of life. To suggest that you can be alive after you die is to negate the meaning of the word "death". Since you use the term 'reincarnation', when was the initial 'incarnation'? If all people being born are reincarnations of an initial incarnation, wouldn't that mean that the population would always be the same?
