The beliefs of reincarnation have been passed down generation to generation, this issue has been aloft to me when my bud and i were talking about it one tuesday afternoon. Is it possible for someone to die, and then be born again into the form of a type of animal? foresay, a duck, could my grandma be a duck across the pond and i may not even know it? so much questions i have, i just need some answers ><.

Eh I'm on and off on reincarnation. I used to believe in it a lot...there have been tons of stories where little kids who don't watch TV and are practically virgins to the world...can explain how they died in a past life. I like to believe it's neat. Meh I'll type more on this later. pinch.gif

Okay, if reincarnation does not exist, why is it that young children who don't know any better tell their parents specifically how they died? For example, a young boy who, as I mentioned in my previous post, is practically a virgin to the world. The only shows he watches are kid shows, such as "Sesame Street," "Barney," etc. Then he starts drawing pictures of a war scene. His mother notices and asks him why he's drawing them. He simply answers, saying that that is how he died. She then took him to a psychiatrist who hypnotized him and he started describing this battle scene from the civil war. They wrote down all his specific details - details as if only a person who was there would know. They went to check up on his facts, and it turned out he had described a battle scene from the civil war, even down to who he supposedly was in his past life. Now, how could this happen? What would his parents get out of feeding this to a young child? It makes you think...

of course reincarnation is real..

i very strongly believe it..

the way the Buddha originally taught it was that life is suffering. The only way to escape the eternal cycle of suffering is to rid yourself of all wanting. Such as money, women/men, good clothes, etc. all material things. so when this happens your soul would be released from the cycle and you would become a Buddha..

So yea..went spiritual fo a moment dere..i think if u pay attention to ur dreams and study dem u could get sum clues to ur past life. u could be reborn as almost anything..potato, horse, goat, duck, butterfly, etc.

iuno a whole lot but yea..i thnk mai parents would knoe more

Well, part of me believes that when you die and your mission on earth is not over yet, you will get reincarnated to an animal and live on earth again until you finish your mission. And so on...

if you do: i want proof. not stories.

Do you believe in God? There's not any hard proof of that. There's no way to prove reincarnation, either...at least, not to my knowledge, seeing that your "slate" gets wiped clean when you move onto the next life.

i dont believe in reincarnation. im not against believing in reincarnation because its what my relatives believe in it, but its not something ive felt deep and in agreement about. its something thats more of an interesting theory of what happens to spirits to me, but not really a belief.

What do you consider not idiotic? The belief in nothing? Or the belief in one deity?

reincarnation.. well, it's your choice to choose to believe in it.. that's why we're given the ability to reason.....
i'd like to believe that there's something greater out there.. and that we are rewarded by "it" for the good deeds we've done in one life.. so i'm giving a partial yes here because the other part of me chooses to stick to what i was taught to believe: heaven and hell (yes, i am a Catholic). and my other part (the scientific and logical part) says that when you die, there's nothing.
but just thinking about it.. reincarnation is a part of a bigger thing: Hinduism. they believe that until you fulfill all your duties and achieve true enlightenment, then will the cycle end. that's kind of scary because what if you don't fulfill anything? what if you never become enlightened? then what..? do you remain in earth, in this "mortal coil"?

i have many theories about this..


we can't really tell if it's real or not because you have to experience it... and when you do.. you're dead and you can't really tell anyone. soooo... yea.. and.... have you ever thought that if you were reincarnated or whatever, you'd say something such as "i would probably remember who i was " when you're reincarnated. y'know? .. but i said that to myself to... BUT.. WE were probably reincarnated from a past life but we can't remember it. so it'd be living lives over and over and over but not remembering....

soo... that's a "yes" for me




lol i remember this one time when i like ... 6 years old, i asked my dad "dad... have you ever died?" lol... he said no.... then i said "well .. how does it feel like?" lol...

i believe in reincarnation. but, its hard to prove that it exists because when you enter your next life, you forget everythign about your previous life. like kathleen said, it is like proving that God exists. you can't prove that, you just believe that.
