Reincarnation?

Question

when a dead person has an autopsi can they be reincarnated? All of the internal organs (inc. the heart which is the home of the soul) are taken out weighed and tested...they have been disconnected from the body....surely we need to remain connected til burial to be able to reincarnate!

Answer 1

It is not your physical body that is reincarnated, rather your essence. This is why Hindus and most Buddhists believe in cremation rather than burial. They are wise and know the body is an empty shell and rather than pollute the earth with rotting corpses, they perform a fire ritual.

Answer 2

i don't think that is how it works the world doesn't go by when we want something it goes by when the need arises.
i dont think we are the same person in any life or any moment but when we die we are reborn not when we are burried the body is just a casing so to speak does a vase need to no longer exist ie broken, for flowers to be put into another vase?

Hinduism can give some mystical answers.

The soul dwells as the inmost body of light and superconscious, universal mind of a series of nested bodies, each more refined than the next: physical, pranic, astral, mental. In our conscious mind we think and feel ourselves to be a physical body with some intangible spirit within it. Yet, right now our real identity is the soul that is sensing through its multiple bodies physical, emotional and mental experience. Recognizing this as reality, we powerfully know that life doesn't end with the death of the biological body. The soul continues to occupy the astral body, a subtle, luminous duplicate of the physical body. This subtle body is made of higher-energy astral matter and dwells in a dimension called the astral plane. If the soul body itself is highly evolved, it will occupy the astral/mental bodies on a very refined plane of the astral known as the Devaloka, "the world of light-shining beings." At death, the soul slowly becomes totally aware in its astral/mental bodies and it predominantly lives through those bodies in the astral dimension.

The soul functions with complete continuity in its astral/mental bodies. It is with these sensitive vehicles that we experience dream or "astral" worlds during sleep every night. The astral world is equally as solid and beautiful, as varied and comprehensive as the earth dimension-if not much more so. Spiritual growth, psychic development, guidance in matters of governance and commerce, artistic cultivation, inventions and discoveries of medicine, science and technology all continue by astral people who are "in-between" earthly lives. Many of the Veda hymns entreat the assistance of devas: advanced astral or mental people. Yet, also in the grey, lower regions of this vast, invisible dimension exist astral people whose present pursuits are base, selfish, even sadistic. Where the person goes in the astral plane at sleep or death is dependent upon his earthly pursuits and the quality of his mind.

Because certain seed karmas can only be resolved in earth consciousness and because the soul's initial realizations of Absolute Reality are only achieved in a physical body, our soul joyously enters another biological body. At the right time, it is reborn into a flesh body that will best fulfill its karmic pattern. In this process, the current astral body-which is a duplicate of the last physical form-is sluffed off as a lifeless shell that in due course disintegrates, and a new astral body develops as the new physical body grows. This entering into another body is called reincarnation: "re-occupying the flesh."

During our thousands of earth lives, a remarkable variety of life patterns are experienced. We exist as male and female, often switching back and forth from life to life as the nature becomes more harmonized into a person exhibiting both feminine nurturing and masculine intrepidness. We come to earth as princesses and presidents, as paupers and pirates, as tribals and scientists, as murderers and healers, as atheists and, ultimately, God-Realized sages. We take bodies of every race and live the many religions, faiths and philosophies as the soul gains more knowledge and evolutionary experience.

Therefore, the Hindu knows that the belief in a single life on earth, followed by eternal joy or pain is utterly wrong and causes great anxiety, confusion and fear. Hindus know that all souls reincarnate, take one body and then another, evolving through experience over long periods of time. Like the caterpillar's metamorphosis into the butterfly, death doesn't end our existence but frees us to pursue an even greater development.

Answer 4

Re-incarnation means the "Soul" entering into a(new) carnal Body--A Soul can enter into a fetus when it starts getting living activities(see a Medical Book in how many weeks)

Answer 5

The autopsy is irrelevant, if you believe in reincarnation.

Answer 6

I don't see why not despite your suggestion! Think about people who have been in horrific automobile crashes, airline disasters, burned to death, beheaded...if re-incarnation does exist, I'm certain we will most probably be made whole in our next incarnation.

Answer 7

Reincarnation does not exist. It is one of the biggest lies ever told (and created by the devil): People think that they will have other lives and other opportunities to be saved and to "be better people" / to improve their feelings towards the others... Poor them!
Life is unique, do you best to get saved only through Jesus because there is no other chance.
And about this thing of "having other chances to improve feelings like being good and mercyful... people really have to wake up!!! Why should they wait for "other lives" to be nice, good, mercyful - to love and to respect the others? Why is it so difficult to accept God through His Beloved Son, Jesus?
The Bible is clear about it. We only live once. Thanks God for His Love and Mercy!

Answer 8

the heart is NOT the home of the soul...wherever did u get that idea?

Answer 9

There is no such thing as reincarnation! When you are dead, you are dead. Life is no more, in any shape or form.

Answer 10

yes they can reincarnate. You don't have to be buried to reincarnate.
