Do you believe with the word "reincarnation"? Though you have still that doubt in mind, let me give you something to ponder on for about a minute. As we all know, Reincarnation is a phase, stage or a phenomenon wherein an entity is being brought to life again but in a different form. For an instance, if you're a rich woman today, you might have been an old beggar during your past life. According to my friend, who is a student of a chinese school wherein Buddhism is being the center of religion, you are reincarnated according to your deeds while you are still here on earth. That's what we call "past life". If given the chance that you can be reborn again, what would you like to be? A human? A bird? A flower? A rock star? Well, I'm so eager to hear some words from you. Happy thinking myLotters!

I do not believed in this theory. Maybe few incidents were just coincidence,same thing like there are few people who really looks a like even if they are not related and they are not twins either. So,I still believed in what the BIBLE says...and reincarnation is never been proven in the Bible...not even talked. have a great weekend and enjoy mylotting

Lazarus came back from life with his own body..not in any form..so it's not reincarnation

@ Jaiho- I am not talking about Lazarus who was the brother of Mary and Martha. I am talking about Luke 16:19-31, you may as well read it!

I've read a couple of articles about past life. Since there's a theory that life force is made up of energy, like everything in this world is, theorists says that we transform from one life force to another, regardless of what it is. I wouldn't know what my past life is because I don't really know how to do it and am not planning to in the future. I'll just live my life as it is because I like it the way it is.

Thanks. I just think, why search for another life when you've got one right now, right?

There are many theories that are offered for many debates. Researches are still tirelessly conducted to answer mysteries behind this reincarnation. Still, there are no exact answers. Nonetheless, it's so nice to know that you are happy and satisfied with your life today.^_^

The concept of reincarnation is fundamentally incoherent. What makes me, me. That is to say, what makes me the person I am, is in part the sum of all I have experienced in this lifetime. If I am reborn as someone else without these experiences, in what sense is that me? None. Reincarnation is a ruse used by the rich and powerful to justify their oppression of the poor and weak all the best urban

Thanks for the point urban. You may have a point by saying that rich used reincarnation as a defense mechanism towards the oppression of the poor and weak. Some rich abused their powers and blaming others in return. Though anyways, being reborn is up to you, since you do not believe in it; it's not a problem at all. I want you to enjoy and live the life you have right now. Thanks so much for the response, urban. ^_^

I do beleive in reincarnation. I have memories that aren't from this life, and strong connections to one place in particular where I have never even been. I don't beleive that our station in life, or the form we take are reward or punishment for past good deeds or misdemeanors. I beleive that we are simply collecting experiences. if in my next life I live in poverty in a harsh land, it's not because I'm a bad person now, but because my soul needs that experience. likewise, if I am wealthy and happy and everything is easy for me, it may not be a reward, it will be a needed experience for me. maybe I will need to experience the slow, long life of an oak tree, or the brief, busy life of a shrew. who knows.

You also have a point, there are some things that have had happen to us that are quite too familiar to us. It's like telling to yourself, "Have these incident been done before?". You have a wide appreciation of life, well being an oak tree or even a shrew is not that bad after all. Thanks for your response. I really appreciate it! ^_^

In our Hindu religion also there is a belief in reincarnation, well am not so sure if its true or not, if there is i wish be born as a normal human, but i dont believe in any of this reincarnation who care about our past what you live now makes only sense to me and nor worrying about future can change it though, but a person must not live to hurt others try to do good deeds anyways.

The good that we can do as a living human so far Fireheart, is to be good and do good to others. At least, its our payment as a return of the gift we have right now - and that's it the ability of being alive in a form of human. ^_^

Reincarnation? Sounds pretty cool. I really wanted to hear about this. I wanted to know if it's true or not. Well, I wanted to be the same me if I would be reborn again. I just want to correct everything that I did in my past life...

I am not here to prove or disprove if reincarnation exists as it is up to the Individual to make his or her own conclusions but there are some startling reports of know persons who claim they have tapped into their past lives. I myself have taken part in past life regression and believe I have existed before, but that is only my biased opinion drawn through my own personal conclusions.I like the idea of reincarnation because it makes more sense dealing with cause and effect but not limiting every thing to Karmic reactions as we have Divine Wisdom and other attributes as Compassion that can hep us alter our destinies and assist others to ‘wake up’ from their sleep also.In terms of actual personalities or identities staying intact through this transformation well. I’d like to believe it.I like to reborn as a human if i get the second chance.

You talked with much sense sreeejithsreenivas, I greatly appreciate it. I am thankful I share same thoughts with you. Reincarnation is there not to scare us or something, it's there to let some of us aware that executing an action entails a lot of responses. If we do good, what could we expect in return? Events happened because something have been done a way before its occurrence. Nevertheless, being human is still the best gift we have and be grateful towards the almighty father above.
