Does anyone believe in reincarnation?

I believe in immortality through ascension of planes and dimensions of reality in which we constantly evolve, are always aware, an the closer you get to reaching your ultimate form the more talents and abilities and knowledge and wisdom you'll have in this current life. It's not quite reincarnation because that entails dying and being born again new. What i believe is you never die, and are never renewed.

No.\n\nJust as it is appointed that human beings die once, and after this the judgment ... (Hebrews 9:27)\n\nCatholics and most other Christians believe there is no "reincarnation" after death.\n\nDeath is the end of man's earthly pilgrimage, of the time of grace and mercy which God offers him so as to work out his earthly life in keeping with the divine plan, and to decide his ultimate destiny. \n\nWhen "the single course of our earthly life" is completed, we shall not return to other earthly lives.\n\nWith love in Christ.

I personally believe that we are reincarnated and there are others in the universe...others don't believe because they are narrow minded and scared, they could also be young souls that don't have much experience.

there is an explanation for it should you choose to believe.\nwe as human beings experience and live all there is in the Universe during each and every moment, there is no more than there is right now - this very second- within the physical realm.\n\nYet the soul has been and will be forever free to travel as it so chooses throughout time, re-membering.  notice the hyphen.  it is within the "dream" state that the soul is able to disengage from the physical shackles of the world and manifest itself where ever and whenever. I have been doing this for years, as a child I would have the same dream over and over until it manifested.\nAnd more recently, when I am sleeping I have found that if I have taken a period of specific meditation before laying down i can direct where i "go" in my state of ultimate consciousness.  notice the lack of the use un -\nAnd the damnedest thing of all is this thing that happens all the time....  i will start dreaming about having a conversation with someone, and the phone will ring bringing me back to the state of un-consciousness will call life, and it's the person I was just conversing with in my "dream".  it's wild....\nabout a month ago, my friend who normally calls me in the early am when we are both on the road didn't call. I love deeply and was getting worried, well.. when this friend did call what we could consider late... the explanation was this... he had an inspector for the jobsite with him and blah blah blah...  he goes on to tell me the inspectors name and yada yada, which jarred my memory.  I had been in the truck with them that morning.  In sleep state i was asking if my friend knew someone named Paul... and blah blah and I'll be dammned if the inspector wasn't a guy named Paul.  Most really great dreams come by way of two souls being in the same place at the same time.\nI can will my kids and i into mutual dreams with their help.\nif they're willing we can go to f-in disneyland for the night.

Yes...I believe most all of us have except for the very "new" souls. I've had past life regressions done...very interesting!

Yes,Of course! According to various religious beliefs, there is definitely a new life after death. The bodies, after death, will be disposed off, but the life in the body, that is the soul, will be born again in another form, either as an animal or a human being again!. there are various instances wherein,some children have spoken of their earlier life with details,as to what he/she was in the previous birth, the location, parents, aquiatances, etc. On physical verification by impartial bodies, these have been found fully factual, and correct.

If so, then reincarnation makes perfect sense - even from a Christian perspective.

I think that we only get one shot at life, that's why we have to try and make the best of it. Fairness doesn't come into the equation I'm afraid, life just isn't fair! Reincarnation sounds great, but is in my view unlikely.  It is possible that 'the point of it all' may be quite obscure or completely beyond our understanding, if one exists at all. I found this excerpt about Nirvana and enlightenment, which I think makes perfect sense... \n\n"Nirvana- The End of Suffering... In this lifetime and all future lifetimes.The Buddha once said, “I teach the path to immortality.” As it turns out, he didn’t mean, not having to die, even Christ had to die. The Buddha was saying... Samsara, the perpetual cycle of birth and death ended in Nirvana, I could never be reborn again... I would exist and not exist at the very same time, forever. I would abide in Nirvana. \n\nEnlightenment- The Wisdom of Emptiness... The wisdom that arises from the direct experience of all phenomena being empty of independent existence.Knowing through personal experience (for example, meditation) that all things are interconnected and interdependent. That nothing in this world exists independently. All things are connected and conditional... In other words... All things exist because of other things."

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 believe in reincarnation.  I do attend church sometimes because my Hindu temple is far from me and I don't get to go there often.  And I do find some good things about Church.  I like the sermons that our pastor gives, and the singing and stuff. \n\nThe subject of reincarnation does not usually come up, but if it did, I'd probably just remain quiet.  I don't go there to cause a stir or bring dissension.

Both Jews and Christians believe in reincarnation.  Scripture says Moses and Elijah will come back from the dead and preach in the streets of Jerusalem before the last day.  Does that mean you and I will come back from the dead in another life.  No.  The religion that believes this is called Zoastrianism.  Go to Wikipedia.com for more on this religion.  Kindest regards.

I'm a Reincarnationist. I've seen quite a few other wise people around R & S who are also Reincarnationists.

Sure, why not?  Who is to say with any precision what happens after this life?  I have no personal rememberances of any past life, but then I don't recall what I did in June either.  \n\nMany claim that since the Bible does not endorse reincarnation directly, then reincarnation does not exist.  However, the Bible may imply it, indirectly, in three instances in the Gospels, (if I recall...LOL)  And with hundreds of millions of non-Christians, non-Muslims and non-Jewish people around the world, reincarnation is an accepted fact of life; to Hindus, to Buddhists.  \n\nAny one person answering this question, with a definite Yes, or a definite No, is just parroting what they have been told, since they cannot objectively document it.  \nIt wouldn't surprise me, if God utilized reincarnation.  \nTo say otherwise, is an example of me circumscribing God in my image.  I can't wait to see the end of this excellent movie called "Life".... or is there any end........?
