Do you believe in reincarnation?

[George-ananda]

Do you believe in reincarnation?Why? Why not?

Yes. Because of the evidence of verifiable reincarnation memories and it is the teaching of all spiritual figures and teachers I respect.

I believe we have an astral body and a soul body that separate from our old body at death. That part spends some time enjoying the fruits and experiences of that previous life before reincarnating for new lessons.

 

[Bthoth]

I believe strongly in reincarnation because of God's love for us. God give his children many chances to learn and grow . Our soul learn lessons on this earth. I believe we get reincarnated many times for our soul to grow

Do you believe in reincarnation?Why? Why not?

I also accept the scope that the children are the parents/lineage living into the next generations... reincarnated.

The life is further living within their children.

Do you believe in reincarnation?Why? Why not?

Yes. The research studies cited by others is one reason. Personal experiences that death is not the end is another. Then logic starting from the premise "God is love" and love must act lovingly so there has to be a loving answer to the problem of suffering and apparent evil is a third.

Do you believe in reincarnation?Why? Why not?

No, I don't believe in reincarnation, much like I don't believe in any life after death of the physical body. Although no scientist, I can't really see a plausible mechanism for such to occur, as to what purpose such would satisfy, and as to when such might have originated, given I do accept what science shows us as to human development. So would our long-ago ancestors have such too, for example? And as to all those who might have experiences which makes them believe in such, this is much like so many other things to me - as to lacking enough substantial evidence to prove the veracity of any such claims.

Do you believe in reincarnation? Why? Why not?

Yes. Because it is pretty logical and reasonable.

However, without belief in karma and moksha (liberation from the cycle of birth and death), reincarnation would not make sense.

 

[Debater Slayer]

No. I used to believe in it, but I changed my mind in my previous life.

 

[Revoltingest]

I believe in reintarnation.

[King Phenomenon]

What kind? The kind where you come back to this world as something else or come back in the new world yet to come as something else or come back to the new world yet to come as a new you?

Reincarnation, I find, is a little vague.

 

[Yokefellow]

I am a Christian who believes that the Bible teaches a specific form of Reincarnation.

I made a presentation on this topic...

Just an FYI...

A Lifeform's Soul is its Genome.

I.e., we all have a Soul.

 

[Twilight Hue]

I suppose that, after I die, the molecules which comprise my body now will eventually change and turn into something else.

I don't really believe in a soul, although even if I did, it seems clear that no one ever actually has any conscious memories of any past lives, so if there were any lessons to be learned, they would be forgotten by the next life. For all intents and purposes, *I* (and all I know, all my memories) would cease to exist, even if my soul (assuming I have one) ends up in another body.

That's close to what I think. Maybe there is an eternal component of consciousness that is everywhere, call it potential where it's pervasive throughout the universe that enables animate matter, once the proper conditions are met, the molecules necessary for life fall into order for it to happen as it was when the lights turned on for us and we became alive.

Perhaps it's a form of energy or something similar of which replication can tap or harness consciousness, however this potential is not actually any traveling soul with intact memory and the like as others believe, which I don't think exists for precisely the reason we have no real lasting actual memories of past lives places or events.

Reincarnation , the version at least where there is a traveling intact soul that one's identity is preserved and all a person's memories just has way too many holes in the theory for it to be viable worth considering, and that includes those people who have recounted accurately of past people places and events that actually existed. As astonishing as it may look to others, it's still not at all convincing as there are too many factors and questions around that can debunk it fairly easily.

Because of that, the ego of the person (or other form of life) is the only thing that dies a true death , and that you only live once in that context , but life itself, the phenomenon of consciousness/awareness is a different story, and I think it's that latter part that will continue for infinity where this experience will occur over and over and over with death and life.

As some people put it, " Into the coffin, out of the coffin".

 

[Vinayaka]

No. I used to believe in it, but I changed my mind in my previous life.

Maybe next lifetime, you're revert to the original.

Do you believe in reincarnation?

Yes

 

[LuisDantas]

(...)This makes sense because memories are part of the mind. In Sanskrit, mind is called manas. Like the ahaṁkāra, mind is part of prakṛti, physical existence. For that reason, mind perishes with the body.

What reincarnates is the ātman, which can be translated as ‘soul.’ This soul is not ahaṁkāra, mind, intellect, or anything that is physical. Different schools of Indian philosophy have their own views on what exactly ātman is. Many agree that it is sat and chit, which respectively mean ‘being/existence’ and ‘consciousness/awareness.’

Thanks for the explanation.

You make it appear to be a form of subtle inheritance. Perhaps even applicable to more than one person at a time.

Genome?

Isn't that a bit too physical to make sense as a soul?

Do you believe in reincarnation?Why? Why not?

I have no reason to believe it, but I'm not going as far as saying it's impossible.

Reincarnation, I find, is a little vague.

In Meher Baba's view there are other planets inhabited by humans (though nothing is said about what they look like). These souls can migrate to Earth to take human bodies here.

The "new world yet to come" is another matter with different religions having different views. My view is that "animal man" with emotions and behaviors not too distant in essence from other animals and sometimes with behavior lower than other animals is on the way out.

 

[Quintessence]

Do you believe in reincarnation?Why? Why not?

Yes, because I studied too much science - matter/energy isn't created or destroyed, it is transformed. The apparent world we dwell in operates on exchanges of matter/energy and self-sustaining cycles (e.g., water cycle, nutrient cycles) are especially important for existence as we know it on our beautiful blue-green globe. Stuff decays, becomes part of other things, then decays, and becomes part of yet other things, and on, and on, and on, and on...
