I do believe in an afterlife, but assuming heaven did not exist, then, yes I believe humans would create a belief in one for comfort and expectation of a new life to come.  I could even go as far as to say the mind is a powerful thing, powerful enough to even create supposed proof of afterlife by communicating with departed souls.  But, if the mind is that powerful, enough to falsely prove life exists after this one, isn't that power enough to say something bigger is going on here.  It points to the path the soul does live on, in my opinion.

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 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

Yes. Reincarnation doesn't require faith; it just is. One of the biggest attractions of Christianity and organized religion in general is its unconscious familiarity to persons who were acquainted with it in past lives. Religion in particular has a strong attraction to the reincarnated individual because religion embodies the concept of the eternal soul and the afterlife. Christianity especially appeals to persons who have a vague and muddled sense of having lived before -- this is why they seem to feel a mysteriously "this is so right" bond with Jesus Christ, why they feel in some inexplicable way (to themselves) that they feel his "presence." And it's not just memories of the church in past lives they're sensing; it's also the deep empathy they feel with the concepts of dying and being resurrected (as represented by Jesus and the Christian faith), down deep in their soul. Devout Christians sometimes affirm reincarnation through their mystical and magical devotion to the Christian religion. \n\nAlthough modern Christianity is inclined to vehemently deny its connection to reincarnation through the teachings of Jesus, the Dead Sea Scrolls are evidence that Jesus was a leader among the Jewish sect known as the Essenes; Essenes were devout Jews who believed that the end of the world was near, in baptism, communal life, vegetarianism, reincarnation, healing and peace. Of course, modern day Christianity refuses to believe Jesus was an Essene and a Reincarnationist, but their refusal to accept Jesus as he really was doesn't change the truth.

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

I am a believer in reincarnation.  I do not believe that religion is as cut and dry as many people like to think.  I believe that we have had past lives and that for some there will be another life that will follow this one.  We are put here to learn lessons and to become enlightened souls, when we reach enlightenment is when we attain heaven.  There is no such things as hell, hell is being on earth and you can choose to continue to live here by not enlightening yourself or you can choose to learn and eventually reach heaven.

I believe its real. Some don't. It depends how you grew up and who your influences were. I believe that your spirit reincarnates into a higher spirit if you have treated it well during your life, otherwise you will reincarnate into another life where your spiritual 'level' has not progressed. I am not going to go into much detail... \n\nYou've heard the stories about people recalling previous lives. Do you believe them? I'm not sure myself, but its pretty freaky how much they know about someone else's life in the past. \n\nIt ultimately is upto you to believe if it is fact or fiction, and whichever makes you feel better.

I used to think so. In 1970 when I was just 18, I got in a fight with two guys three times my size and one threw me up on the hood of my car a 1959 Ford Galaxy and started choking me telling me he was going to kill me while the other one was about to hit me in the face with a baseball bat and I passed out and I thought I saw my whole life pass by me.  I thought I was dead. \n\nI still remember that as if it was yesterday. I don't know if my life really passed by me or if I was jut thinking about my life very fast, but that is what happened. \n\nI don't believe in heaven or hell anymore. I am wiccan now and  I believe in reincarnation until we have learned all the lessons we are meant to learn then on to the Summerland.

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.

I suppose that depends on what you personally believe in.  I was taught how to send other people back to their past lives a long time ago.  People I have sent say that I am really good at it.  I have been sent before,  but I have too much trouble letting go of my current life to experience my past lives fully.  It is possible that all those I have sent merely imagined past lives.  Only the gods can truly know.

Interesting idea, but NO! Not at all.\n\n'Christian' is NOT one of the realms of reincarnation. (samsara) the realms are: The realm of Devas(gods); the realm of Asuras (Demigods); the realm of Humans; the realm of Animals; the realm of Hungry Ghosts and the realm of Hell.\n\nI was born into a Christian family and I am a Buddhist. I do not see being born into a Christian home misfortunate or bad in any way. I learned a great deal. \n\nI look at it this way. According to Buddhism, enlightenment is not given or bestowed, it is self realized. If a person is ready to realize the truth, what faith (s)he comes from is irrelevant. (S)He will find enlightenment when (s)he is ready.  \n\nI hope this helps.

Yes I believe in life after death, I also think reincarnation might exist.  I have seen ghosts.

Reincarnation is a truth and even if a religion/book does not accept it, it does not become untruth.\n\n   all of us hve undergone many lives and we will be enjoying/suffering many more lives to reach divinity.\n\nOur soul starts its journey from chemicals, evolves in plants and animals and reaches Human beings. It has to undergo innumerable sufferings and pains and learn billions of lesson to prgoress towards its next evolutionary stage i.e. divinity.\n\nAnd one life is not enough for all these lessons. That also is the reason behind differnt type of peoples..why some are born rich, some are born poor, some idiots some intelligence. Even two children of the same parents, in the same environment do not progress alike... Reincarnation is the answer !!\n\nWhen we die, we die with a mental state, where we have some unfulfilled desires...some subtle some gross. The soul after death passes to some astral worlds where it prepares for the next birth, where it can continue its progress towards its evolution (mental evo..not physical)...these astral planes' working is quite similar to hells and heavens mentioned by religions...but the main purpose of these astral planes is not to punish or reward but to work out our desires and prepare us for our next birth\n\nHell and heaven are tools of religions to keep uncivilised human into some check... for a little evolved minds it is astral planes for purging or working the subtle desires \n\n    I remember many of my past lives, and i can relate my todays sufferings/joys to my karmas done in that life\n\n  And I know, what I am doing today, I am desigining my body for the next birth.  My desires, unfulfilled in this life, my karmas of this birth, will be deciding factors for my next life

Reincarntion is a true and proved phenomena. know something about it.\n\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.\n\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\nReincarnation: What You Take With You\nBy the time the baby’s body and brain are developed, the soul has all but forgotten the past and become accustomed to its new conditions and to the parents of its new body. However, although the soul cannot usually remember details of its past life or lives, it carries with it—in the form of attitudes, tendencies and personality—the cumulative effect of all that it has experienced and learned. All that is genetically brought to the new life is the physical make-up of the body, the racial type, the colour of eyes, shape of nose and so on. And although the environment in which a child is raised – as well as the personalities of those around the child – definitely exert an influence on the child’s development, its tendencies and reactions to people and events are not biologically generated but are inherent in the soul from previous existences. Those predominant impressions recorded in the past life soon begin to manifest themselves and are expressed in the new surroundings.\n\nRelationship in Other Lifetimes\nHuman life is based on inter–relationships between souls, which in turn are based on the different impressions present in each. These impressions determine the course of life, the nature of the soul’s activities and its physical placement in a particular environment. Thus there is typically a link or an ‘account’ between two souls who have formed a relationship in one lifetime; that link will bring them together again in other lifetimes. This explains why many people have the sense of having met or known a person before, even though they are apparently meeting for the first time. Or they experience meeting someone with the feeling of either attraction or repulsion even though they don’t know them well enough in the current life to have developed those feelings. What is taking place is that the soul is recognizing the other soul – even though they have different bodies – from the last time they met.\n\nReincarnation: Process of Rebirth\nReincarnation is a process of rebirth. With each death comes a new birth and the opening of a new chapter in the never ending story of life. With each new birth the soul carries on with its journey through eternity where it left off in terms of its ‘accounts’ in the previous birth. The soul is not the victim of an angry or vengeful God condemning it to a lifetime of deprivation or suffering for no apparent reason. The soul inherits a past created by its own self. The fact that the precise past causes for the circumstances of the

You my dear are on the right path, we are only here for healing, we can walk on water, but need not to be reborn ,only to open our eyes.
