Do You Believe in Reincarnation?

If reincarnation is true I hope I don't come back as a lamp post...

 

I think you might have been sid james

Thanks for sharing that, it was illuminating.

 

lighten up dude

 

I don't necessarily believe or disbelieve in it, I have not fully researched reincarnation yet, so i'll decide once I learn more.

 

I beleive in reincarnation to an extent. I beleive that some people are reincarnated, others aren't and just wonder the earth in their spiritual form, and I beleive that there are some people that are totally new.

 

I think that certain persons that are open to the afterworld may pick up on the memories and such of the persons life and that may confuse them into thinking they are reincarnated .. but I do believe that the soul is free once death takes place .. to have that kind of access .. particular to a person who is let say is born or for example reincarnated into a person who was maybe in an automobile accident ...they are pronouced dead but then brought back to life through cpr etc .. it is possible ..in some cases it appears that a person who was/is in a coma .. were at one point dead even if it were a minute .. and strangely they come back with no past memories of that life ...its nearly a infantile clear slate ... memories begin to build or come back ..slowly from that point .. hmmm and some report of another life ...

 

Memories are strange, they can be manipulated (false memories) forgetful completly (clear slate) or just plain wrong. It is suprising how much 'faith' we put in our own recolection of events.. and how different some people remember the same event.
I have read people 'awakening' with a 'foreign accent' but i still am thinking we know little about memories and how they work, 'reincarnation' seems like a easy answer imho

 

Right exactly so its very hard to say if a person is exactly right on with it being actual reincarnation, mental illness, picking up on the spirit world, or what ...lol but its fascinating to wonder the possibilities and see the "coincidences" that may match up. I am sure that whatever label/meaning it ultimately takes on that its just as valuable or may hold just as much purpose.

 

I am sure it will

When i wake up in a sweat, remembering things i know i never did. Then yeah the possibilities are nearly endless.

 

What do you remember or what was it you were thinking of

 

We all have dreams, i don't have a recurring one that i could articulate into any kinda sense. I have literaly dozens of snippets that (like i say) make me wake up sometimes , but then when i try to recall them they are lost. The only thing i can remeber that is prety strong is colours, all the objects i see being vivid and bright like i was in a realy hot climate and the sun was blinding. I am usualy being horribly murdered in them (hence waking up in a sweat).

I had a dream (last night) i was running a book shop last night, realy nice book shop it was too. i was just opening and i was thinking how to raise more income. So i decieded to advertise for groups to hold there book club in my shop. I found some dusty old records in the basement of my new shop too, they brought in some money i can tell you. That did not make me wake up though.

 

I have doing that as well lately ..things that are not of my present norm ..coming up in dreams ..and I wonder if it is of past or future

 

Well our brains take in more than we actualy conciously remember, we see millions of things everyday, we know from experiance how certain things should be so we don't take notice of certain things. I would imagine that we just decipher this information and create a mini reality within our own minds..just so it makes sense to us.

Past/future ? i am going to be cynical about such thoughts.. see all we do is think

 

yes we are both cynics ....I am glad that I do not think it is anything but a dream and if I did would I admit it to anyone ..even myself .. probably not ...especially not in a post -lol BUT sometimes we are suprised when we discover merit in that dreamworld ....it proves itself rather than the individual having to yield evidence ...so I just sit back and watch it all unfold ..you cannot ignore all the dots that you HAVE connected -no?

 

Spot on I try and take note of all the dots, explanations or admiting to anything within a thread on the hip forums..mmm probably not.

 

lol ....I like that Matthew.. you made me smile
