Reincarnation - true or false?
824172
Reincarnation is a truth ... If one book does not mention it, Truth does not become false...\n\nReincarnation is perhaps a wrong word used...hindus and Buddhists use Re-Birth instead.\n\nOur soul starts its journey in chemicals...and after each awakening find itself in plants, animals and finally human beings. \n\nAs humans we have to learn millions of lessons of pains and joys, richness and poverties, cruelty and kindness, killing and be killed, ...till we reach our next mind evolution i.e. Divinity.\n\nOne life is not sufficient for all these lessons. hence our soul, after death goes to another body to learn other sets of lessons\n\nThe paradoxes as to why some are born rich some poor, some without mind or without limbs...some from poverty going to utter richness...some spiritual from childhood... can not be explained without Reincarnation\n\nDont ask proof, because no one can give proof of God or heaven/hell...there are certain things which are beyond physical proofs\n\nMany during the hypnotic state have remembered their last birth.\n\nWhy we dont remember past birth? Because Nature does not want us to get entangled to our last relations...so that we can freely learn new lessons...that z why She takes away the gross memory at death..and leads soul to new body with the resultant progress earned during last births

there is not the question of belive . it has been scintifically proved . there r thousands of such cases all around the world . many scientists have written books on this . bookes by brain weiss are very popular . \n\npast life regression therepy may reveal past  lives ,. but sometimes it may bring up thoughts from subconscious mind .\n\nreiki is also powerfil . but only when one has practiced fir years sincerely .\ni myself teach meditations .

If reincarnation is real, please don't send me back.\n\nBeyond that, I'd be so happy to be there that I doubt I'd say anything.

I am an atheist without superstitious beliefs so I find it kind of odd to give a possible argument for reincarnation but here goes. \n\nSuppose reality is infinite and varied enough so we are instantiated an multiple number of times. This is consistent and even perhaps indicated by modern cosmology and certain interpretations of Quantum Mechanics.\n\nFurther suppose our identity is determined by our brain configuration. That is the configuration of the neural network which makes up our brain.  Note that this saying that if two brains are perfectly identical with identical inputs and processes taking place, it is meaningless to consider them two identities. Of course as soon as the inputs vary or the process differs it is clear we then have two distinct identities.  \n\nIf both of these rather reasonable assumptions are true, then our consciousness identity exists on multiple brains in the infinite reality. \n \nThis is actually a possible explaination for quantum mechanics. Quantum uncertainty may simply result from the necessary uncertainty of knowing which copy of our brains we really are. For example in the famous Quantum Double Split experiment some copies of our brain are local to electrons going through the top slit while other copies of our brains are local to electrons going through the bottom slit. As long as we do not observe the electrons. Those brains effectively perceive reality as a superposition of electrons going through both slits. As soon as we attempt to determine which slit the electrons go through. The brains making the observation differ and no longer correspond to the same concious identity.\n\nWhen one of the copies of our brains dies, others will not so our consciousness will continue inhabiting other brains. After all a dead brain is incapable of making observations.\n\nNote that as we are dying, our brain state simplifies, We are aware of less and less information. The number of matching brains in the universe would then be expected to increase. Our concious state may well find itself matching another type of being entirely.\n\nWhile this is certainly not traditional Reincarnation, it is very similar. And Remarkably  relies on nothing contrary to known science.\n\nIf you wish to read more on these ideas, try googling the phrase "Quantum Immortality".

have you been to another a place you have never been before but seem familiar and feels that you have been here before?the best explanation is you were there in your past life.Death is only a transition from one form to another,just like discarding a torn shirt and changing a new one,reincarnation is very true and natural,it is the law of nature.\nYour life today is the result of your Attitude and Choice of the Past\nYour life tomorrow is the result of your Attitude and Choice you made Today

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.

Reincarnation is a componant part of Vedic knowledge the only way to understand this, 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, so we are creating the next body through the desires and activities performed in this life.\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 perfectly suited to the mentality that we have developed whilst being in the human form of 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\nGenerally the memories of previous lives are eradicated when the soul leaves the previous body, otherwise it would be very difficult to function in this life with the attachments and memories of the last, the burden of these memories would be unbearable. The memories we carry around from just one life are sometimes sorely distressing. Multiply such memories manyfold, and they would surpass our ability to deal with them.\n\nThe primary purpose of the human form of life however is to revive or in Christian terms, ressurect, the original spiritual body that is covered over by the gross material elements and subtle conditioned mind, therefore it is vital to approach a bona-fide spiritual master to receive the knowledge by which the living entity can transcend the cycle of the repetition of birth and death and return home, back to Godhead.

As a Hindu, yes I believe in reincarnation. The atman sheds one body just as we change clothes, to take on a new body. With each incarnation we have the chance to advance spiritually and eventually achieve moksha. Some can do this is one lifetime, some need several lifetimes. Moksha is a lot like the Buddhist concept of nirvana. Moksha means "liberation" and "union". The Atman is liberated from the cycle of samsara and finds union in Brahman (the word Brahman comes for two Sanskrit words Brih Manah which translates as Great Consciousness or Expanding Consciousness, although it is usually translated into English as Cosmic Consciousness). In many of the Upanishads the message is quite clear that everything is Brahman, everything manifested out of Brahman. The atman is Brahman. Tat tvam asi. Thou art that.

in a way yes and no. There is a Heaven where all saved people go, but you do not get reincarnated into something else in this world.

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........?

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.

Some people believe in "past lives"-- reincarnation.  They believe people have soul mates and that many people in our CURRENT life is someone from their past... we died, then came back in a different body but with the same basic soul.  We're supposed to "come back" to right our past wrongs or learn something that we are supposed to know before we can 'move on'... basically, the mistakes we make, we should learn from; other people around us are our teachers or students--these can also be our 'soul' mates, doesn't necessarily mean a lover.  (If you really feel your instinct, it tells you what to do--that's your guide... )

You're a funny girl. As you probably well know, born again means in a spiritual, not physical sense. Also, I bet there are quite a few people who call themselves Christians that believe in reincarnation.

The most detailed collections of personal reports in favor of reincarnation have been published by Dr. Ian Stevenson in works such as Reincarnation and Biology: A Contribution to the Etiology of Birthmarks and Birth Defects, which documents thousands of detailed cases where claims of injuries received in past lives sometimes correlate with atyptical physical birthmarks or birth defects.\n\nPerhaps the most significant anecdotal evidence in this regard is the phenomenon of young children spontaneously sharing what appear to be memories of past lives, a phenomenon which has been reported even in cultures that do not hold to a belief in reincarnation. Upon investigating these claims, Stevenson and others have identified individuals who had died a few years before the child was born who seem to meet the descriptions the children provided.\n\nIn the most compelling cases, autopsy photographs reveal that the deceased individuals have fatal injuries that correspond to the unusual marks or birth defects of the child; for example, marks on the chest and back of a child line up precisely with the bullet entry and exit wounds on the body of an individual who has been shot.\n\nHowever, Stevenson cautions that such evidence is suggestive of reincarnation, but that more research must be conducted.

reincarnation is what we, hindu's, believe. and yes i am hindu and me and the rest of my hindu family do believe in reincarnation, and it means, when you die you are reborn into anything, it could be a ant or a frog or anything living but only living things, no food. and it mostly means a lot to me but i am not sure about my family because they always say that you can never remember your past life. so whats the point.

There are two destinations, One is reincarnation and second one after completing all ur births, u go to sweet home of all souls, its where god dwells.\n\nYou were. You will be! \nKnow this while you are. \nReincarnation is the natural \nprocess of recycling human energy through \nbirth, growth, decay and death. \nEach rebirth is a link in one's eternal chain \nof latent impressions, thoughts, desires and actions. \nThe soul in its new body is given the opportunity \nto learn from the past, to live the present and to prepare for the future. \nReincarnation: Why Believe?Once I have begun to base my sense of ‘who I am’ on perceiving myself as a soul rather than on perceiving only my temporary costume, the body, I deeply realize that, as a being of spiritual energy giving life to the body, I am immortal. I begin to understand that I change bodily costumes just as a snake sheds its skin, but I – the eternal soul – can never die.\nDeath and Rebirth\nAt the moment of physical death, the soul withdraws its energy from the organs of the body and vacates its seat in the middle of the forehead. It takes with it the impressions accumulated in that life and enters into the body of an unborn baby, while that new body is still being formed in its mother’s womb. This normally happens between the fourth and fifth month of pregnancy. A human soul only enters a human body. The type of body the soul enters and the conditions of birth are determined by the past actions of the soul in its previous life or lives, and the cumulative account of give and take that it has built up with other souls. Without proper understanding of this process, the leaving of one body and the taking of another is often an experience of great fear and anguish; but the details of the old life are soon obliterated by new experiences so that the soul is not overwhelmed and confused by past memories.\n\nWhere Have I Come From?\n\nWhere have I come from? And whence shall I return?\nBeyond this world, the stars, the sun\nThere is a land called Paramdham.\nIt is a world of peace, \nA world of light,\nA world all souls once knew as Home.\nWe journeyed here to play our parts\nWe soon forgot\nWhere we had started from.\nWeary souls now long for Home once more.

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