Reincarnation

wildflower · Reincarnation

Yep, well this has to be the next subject really doesnt it?

what do you all think? personally i believe that we live a life over and over til we get right what we are supposed to do! i think once you get it right, then you can rest! feel free to contradict me

hystericali

I think yes, because I'd hate to think that this was it for me.

I get deja vu and feel like I've met someone before or been some where before, especially when I go to London, I've been there 5 times in my life but I can get you round the tube system without hardly using a map, so I think I was a tube train driver in a past life...... The underground system feels very familiar to me!

I don't think I've been reincarnated as an animal though!

TreeHeart

No, I don't really believe in it. I think the only way we can live on, is in our kids..and their kids, coz part of you and your partner and your mother and so on, is being reborn every time..

wildflower

the scientists reckon that deja vu is something to do with your left eye reacting slightly sooner than your right eye, hence you thinking youve seen something, or been somewhere before, but i think thats souless! i think reincarnation is the only possible explanation for a lot of unexplained stuff that happens, like little kids who can recount a whole other history, that is actually historically correct, i mean how can a 6 year old make up that stuff? fascinating!

Helen

Dont really believe in it to be honest.

Do get the deja vu thing a lot though

TreeHeart

I have got de ja vu a lot before and it scares me! I dont think there is anything supernatural about it though.

wildflower

i think if its just one little thing then yeah, but if you know where someone lives without ever having been there, and where everything is in the house, then thats a little harder to explain, that happened to me many years ago with a friends grandad, weirdest thing ever!

Pourquoi pas?

People say "I believe in reincarnation" a lot, but most of the time they have absolutly no reason for thinking this other than "a hunch", and to be honest I wouldn't base my views of death on a hunch.

I believe when you die, that's it, mainly because I've yet to read a satisfactory theory claiming otherwise.

TreeHeart

Pourquoi pas?

Yeah. In just about every religious discussion I've been involved in, someone will say "Yes, but can you prove it?"

And well, of course they can't prove it! That's why it's called a belief! If we only accepted proven ideas, we wouldn't really have a firm basis on which to build our lives.

TreeHeart

No, but it's all down to choice really. I am an atheist, I don't believe in any higher power or life after death. I know what you mean, I have been asked how I can have any morals if I dotn do good things to get to heaven? Well for me and my partner, we do good things or try to anyway, because thats what we believe people should do for themselves and the other people living on theis planet, there are many people who call themselves "christians" and other religions, who do nothing to help others worse off than themselves *cough* Bush *cough*

My belief is that it is down to the individual and the parent to school your child in the goodness of people and life before you bring religion into it.
Thats just me

(if that made sense you get a badge)

I'd like to believe in it but I can never put my finger on things these days so I can't really say. It all interests me and all, I like to believe that strong "opened" minds continue to.. god I dunno how to explain this.. spread? Yes I think its the mind that is reincarnated, the physical state dies yet the mind continues to search... it all makes sense in my head when you think about it, of course I am a deep thinker I think of stuff like this all the time... but I think it could happen but I don't know if it does obviously...

wildflower

yeah i know what youre saying, and i can see both sides, as im not really 100% sure myself, but ive known a couple of people who have had weird things happening to them, one friend of my sisters is really terrified of anyone going anywhere near her neck, she kept going back to a place in Wales where she went on holiday and knew every inch of that place even though she had never visited it before! she thought about it so much she decided to be regressed and the outcome was that she lived in Wales hundreds of years ago and was actually hanged! i guess its stuff like that that makes me wonder! i dont think tangible proof will ever be available, but if i die before you all, ill come back and let you know

tasheh

Wow yeah regression is something I believe more in I get apparitions all the time.. empty corridors in what looks like could be a castle or something... and I get very anxious around things that sound like gun shot like balloons popping, fireworks, part poppers, xmas crackers, champgne bottles... its all very odd

wildflower

you know, you should really go and be regressed, it would be fascinating to see what they would come up with! there must be some reason for those fears and visions!

tasheh

Is that when they hypnotise you and stuff and you start to retell a story? I've seen that happen to other people (on tv) and its very disturbing lol

wildflower

yeah it is, they take you right back to your "former lives" and they tape it so you can hear what youre saying, and a lot of the time the people who they regress are actually historically correct about who they were, and the times they lived in! its quite spooky i think, but really interesting! go for it!

Museclues

im totally coming back as a rock lol!
