I don't think we'll get a second chance.  I'm not sure there's anything in the bible to support that.\n\nAnd yes, no one knows.  What about people in comas?  What about when they come out of them?  What about miscarriages, do they have souls?  What about children born without a nervous system (i.e. no brains)?  What about when twins are conceived and one child end up growing into the other(called fetus in fetu, kind of gross, actually)?  The bond between the soul and body is one of the most ellusive, yet real aspects to humanity that we will never be able to answer.  Being a medical student I'm going to have a lot of thinking to do on that question in a few years.

yes --back to the past--the more truth we know , the more we see the shallowness of Christianity and Judaism, and start to get back to the --earth based religion and to Hinduism --were revelation came from a gurus deep meditations, on reality .\n\ni saw a show were they played the ---om---- sound on a oscilloscope , and the image on the scope was the same as the --yoga yantra--painting of --om. so how did a yogi get it right thousands of years ago--with out modern electronics to prove it??\n\nthe--[  COLLECTIVE MEMORY  ]--has been in existences from before time began---all thing can be known , from deep meditation.this is why i feel that we need to go back to the past , , or revisit  the past religions, to get to the deeper truths.\n\nyou cant get any deeper , than worshiping --life force--as god,\n\nim not sure what is beyond life force--a invisible --living energy--,\n\nI'm sure  their are universes full of things man will never think of, and will never hear of....our minds can only go so far, and when you travel the astral plains, with out your mind---man that hard to remember when you get back. ha ha \n_________________________________\n\nits hard to think of --some thing beyond the \n\nINVISIBLE  NOTHINGNESS---OF NOTHING

Reincarnation is true and you can remember your last life if you want to - but very few people really want to, at the subconscious level. Memories of who you were could complicate your present life and cause feelings of displacement and confusion. \n\nIf you want to try remembering your life, read a book on the subject, such as "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Past-Life Regression" by Michael Hathaway. Silly title, but sage advice inside.\n\nWhoever thinks the inability to remember a past life is evidence that reincarnation is untrue should consider the fact that, since none of us can remember being born, or being an infant - or the vast majority of days between birth and now - it follows that everything we've forgotten (which is 99.999% of our lives) never happened either.

dont plants and animals reincarnate as all the species then become humans? i think it makes sense that humans were last if u think about the religion as a whole b/c of Bhagwan's respect of nature, etc.  how do u know so much about Hinduism? that's pretty cool :]

I definitely wouldn't run to the first guy claiming he was the reincarnation of Him. I've heard  that the anti-Christ will come and people will be fooled into worshiping him. I like to think I would KNOW the difference.

In my evaluation I am of the view that it is extremely unlikely that life originated and evolved on its own through random chance (even if it did evolve, then it is very likely it was 'directed' to do so by a Creator).  Even so, there is very strong diverse evidence for life after death (NDE's, spirits, communications with the dead, etc.).  Though I encourage everyone to  make there own conclusions or leanings, whilst trying to be objective and unbiased as possible, the more I investigate this, the closer I come to the conclusion that we have a soul that survives physical death.\n\nFor us, life after death is the greatest mystery of all, and in the end, the only one that matters.

Just think my dear freind, why does a just born die, why does a bad person live long, why does some ppl die young and some get tourtured thro out life and why does some get all good things in life, what decides who should be born where & why, how should he/she live. Can we  just say its God who decides it? But what makes him to decide? How can that happen. If there is no concept of rebirth and Karma, why does God gives life to a baby and takes back its life in a day or two, for some its 10-20 yrs, and for some who live 100 yrs, whats the core of this?Its Karma and rebirth which explains the logic of this.

Heaven and hell exist... the whole story!\n\n\nEvery Atman soul manifests a body ... On its journey towards Emancipation! If it were a plant it would do all within its means to become an animal (in next Life) ... the next higher of the species but would it swoop low (owing to bad Karma), it could regain the body of an insect or even an Amoebae in its next manifested Life. Who knows when ... the sword may fall! We pray and do Punya Karma (pious deeds not only in the physical frame but mentally also) ... We elevate ourselves to the higher planes of cosmic consciousness ... we inherit Paap Karma ... We are doomed to go to Hell ...\n\nYou are born a Human Being. You live a Life of content. One day hell breaks loose ... You fail to control your emotions and cause hurt to your fellow beings ... Earn Paap Karma. Ultimately hurtled into the dungeons of Hell in your next birth ... You are born a crawling insect to be trampled by one and all. What apathy .. nothing within your control you shall again have to take the cast of a Human body before you can atone for your sins and ask god for his Forgiveness!!\n\nEvery ‘Atman’ manifests initially on a Life supporting planet and then goes on Spiritually elevating itself to higher and higher planes. You go to ‘Swarg’ owing to your Punya Karma and ‘Narak’ owing to your Paap Karma. God never differentiates ... For him all are equal.\n\n\nBefore an Atman is allotted another body, it has merely to wait ... Where? Where else other than Swarga or Naraka depending upon the balance sheet of your previous Life! There is no waiting in Hell! So many species of insects plants and animals!\n\nWaiting for a proper birth is essential ... For the family in which you have to take birth may not yet exist. The complex theory of genes and chromosomes is to be understood well. The balance sheet of you and your would be parents must match ... Then only you inherit the womb of that Mother. Your Mother may be a she animal or a woman ... Is solely dependent on the balance Karma of your previous Life.\n\n‘Swarg’ is no where else but it is a X-dimension where only Atmans operate. We do not see an Atman or God but still we feel their presence ... Where? The travel of Atman is not limited by time or space. They travel on frequencies above the speed of light i.e. above 1,86,000 miles per sec. All thought waves without exception travel on frequencies above the speed of light. Traveling on different waves lengths in the X-dimension (i.e. speeds above 1,86,000 miles per sec) can one Atman meet another.\n\n\nEvery Human Being who has learnt to control his senses, can elevate his mental status to levels that he can seek blessings of one and all whom we consider as dead and liberated i.e. God realized! All purified Atmans are practically known as Human Gods like Mahavira, Jesus, Buddha and Mohammed of the earlier Ages and Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Ramanna Mahirshi of the recent ages reside in the X-dimension known to us as ‘Baikunth (abode of God). These purified Atmans are ever ready to bless us if we sincerely and with full devotion (i.e. through mantras) invoke their presence and blessings. Proper use of Mantras is essential for their invocation.\n\nIn ‘Hell’ which is nowhere else but exists on this planet itself can be found those poor Souls whose misdeeds landed them in Hell. You slowly through the evolutionary process elevated yourself to the level of a Human Being. Your works as a Human Being did not conform to the standards laid down by the scriptures! You failed yourself at all levels of Morality and Ethics. On the Earthly plane, the society may not spurn your advances, neither you may be ridiculed and pitied upon for you are the lord of great wealth and riches and none wants to face your wrath!

I think so.  I know of other Wiccans who don't believe in reincarnation.  I personally do, because it make sense to me that the soul would need more than one go around before it's considered good enough to stay somewhere so nice (think of Adolf Hitler's soul, for goodness sake, and how many times it would have to do the go around!).  I see reincarnation as the ultimate consequence for not accepting the consequences of our behavior in this life.\n\nThis is an answered question on about.com: http://paganwiccan.about.com/od/whatiswicca/f/afterlife.htm  I'm not sure if it is saying that you HAVE to believe in reincarnation or that it is strongly believed throughout most of the religious community.  I will seek further.\n\nHere is a site that give a pretty good overview of Wicca, and it briefly mentions the Summerland: http://www.souldevice.org/wicca.html\n\nThe only site I could find that even remotely supports the Summerland without reincarnation is this one: http://www.wicca.com/celtic/wicca/faq.htm  Even here, though, it's ambiguous.\n\nFinally, a site that seems to be more in tune with you, although a Wiccan probably didn't write it.  Still, it's usually not a bad site for information on religion: http://www.religioustolerance.org/wic_beli.htm\n\nOkay, I have to revise what I was saying earlier, I suppose.  It seems that reincarnation is, according to most Wiccans, central to Wiccan beliefs because it is considered part of the cycle of life, death and rebirth that we believe, through obsveration, that all living things go through.  The Summerland is less of a "paradise" than a nice, comfy place to await the next life, maybe get a little rested and refreshed before starting it all over again.  I thought it was a little more open to interpretation, and maybe you could continue practicing that way if you want to without too much comment.\n\nPerhaps you could examine what it is about reincarnation that you are unable to believe in.  If you find that you can't reconcile your beliefs about reincarnation with Wiccan teachings, perhaps it would be better for your spiritual growth to follow another pagan path.  There are many, after all, although I think that reincarnation is a pretty big theme among alot of them.

I'm not sure where you heard that. In some of the literature I've read on reincarnation, the state of being in the spirit world is one where communication is by thought, travel is instantaneous, you can see in all directions, consciousness is intact, but I don't think half the brain is still earthcentred.\nAdditional details: The entities, such as those you see on ghost shows, which visit the physical plain have great difficulty materializing in this dimension. They vibrate on a much higher frequency and require energy to materialize. Some can only do it partially. Some mediums offer their own energy to help the entities materialize. Seances use group energy. This is why the room gets cold, from the energy being used by the entity.\nBy the way, all you reincarnation believers: WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? I'VE BEEN LONELY IN THE RELIGION AND SPIRITUALITY CATERGORY!

Reincarnation is a componant part of the Vedic religion, the only way to understand it, is to understand your real identity as an eternal spirit soul, rather then the material body. Vedic understanding must be learned in its entirity to gain knowledge of the science of reincarnation and release from the cycle of the repetition of birth and death.\n\nWith this in mind, there is no question that reincarnation is a reality, we, as individual spirit souls are reincarnating within these very bodies, the material body is composed of gross molecules and atomic particles,that are constantly changing, every seven years each cell is completely replaced, so the body we had seven years ago is different to the body we have now, this is reincarnation, even within this life.\n\nAt the end of this life when the gross material body is no longer operational, being simply a temporary biological machine, then the subtle material mind replays the events of one's life, those events in one's life that are most prominant propel the spirit soul, the real self, to the next destination, the basis for this to happen is by the activities that we perform and the desires that are most prominant, man proposes and God disposes.\n\nIf we live a spiritual life, with activities and desires to please the Supreme, then the original spiritual body is revived and we can return home, back to Godhead, however if the desires are more worldly then we will attain another material body either gross or subtle, perfectly suited to the mentality that we have developed whilst being in the human form of life, there are many living entities that remain in their subtle or astral forms, due to attachments to relatives and places during their last life, therefore the knowledge of the science of reincarnation is of paramount importance to understand.\n\nThe early Christian church also taught reincarnation, up untill the 6th century A.D., in 553 A D when the Roman empire started to collapse, the emperor Justinian at the 5th Ecumenical council at Constantinople removed and altered the teachings of Jesus to gain more social control over the uneducated masses, by establishing the "scare tactic" of a singular life, as anyone who opposed these types of alterations was considered a heretic, it is not difficult to understand how these gross misconceptions came to be accepted.\n\nReincarnation is supported by many well known texts such as the Bhagavad Gita and the wisdom of the Buddah, however it is largely rejected in Western religious thought, which has a preference for a faith only system of salvation that abdicates responsibility for evil onto a personality known as the devil and responsibility for sin to be absorbed by the victim of an act of barbaric murder 2000 years ago.

I am not sure how it all came to be as it is.  I wonder sometimes if perhaps we created ourselves.  I mean, through reincarnation, we have the opportunity to become better and better,and perhaps we have more will and power than people realize to become more advanced.  I know, that sounds hair-brained, but it is just a wild idea I had.\n\nI think it is possible that God guides the evolution process, causing the mutations that will become beneficial, or survival advantages.\n\nI think there is a whole lot more to evolution than we realize.  I think there is something marvelous about it and random mutations do not fully explain it to me.  I think there must be some mechanism which actually somehow accelerates mutations when the need for a change is present.  Whether that mechanism was put there by God or not, who could really say?\n\nAs the Rig Veda says, "who really knows, who can say, from whence it came?  Maybe God knows, and maybe even he does not."

Buddhist talk about rebirth and not reincarnation.There are many realms of existence...human,animal,deva,peta,etc...Beings from one realm can be reborn into another realm!So,you see,there are trillions of possibilities!Buddha says:to be born a human the chances is very minute!So human we must count our blessing!

A Zen master now would ask: what is the purpose of this question?  Who is the thing that thinks it's asking?  And why does this thing ask?  Also, reincarnation is not a buddhist concept (rebirth is which is VERY different) but, of course, whatever concept helps you is the important thing (given that all of these concepts are tools and not ends).

No!\n\nReincarnation will be based entirely on your Karma.\n\nJesus called it reaping what you sew.\n\nHindu teachings are similar. If you a cruel to an animal, you may come back as that.\n\nUnfortunately the Bible of Christendom is somewhat lacking in some of the information was left out. Other books that were left out indicated that reincarnation was true. In some of the mystic Jewish teaching it says that god will pluck you up and replant you many times to make you perfect.\n\nTo those who do not believe in reincarnation ... better look at Jesus. Did he NOT PREVIOUSLY EXIST? If he did not reincarnate, the Bible and his teaching are lies.

Reincarnation cause people can be placed under hypnocis(sorry about my crappy Spelling.) and remember there past life
