Reincarnation

IF Reincarnation exists, it is logical to assume that we would have no control over the process, so although we all protect our indentities in this existence, Race, Colour, Religion etc, when reincarnated (if into Human form) we could well sit the other side of the divide, I.E with a different ethnicity, skin colour etc,etc, if we all thought this possible, would there be less trouble in the world that we presently reside in?.

Re: Reincarnation

I think thats very likely .....
It is a theory that we come back as a different race and gender, a rich person now would come back as a poorer person, a healthy person as a disabled - to know all of lifes experiences.
I sometimes feel there is something to this - just, like with most things, very unsure too .....

Re: Reincarnation

No - because you won't have any prior knowledge on which to base change; we'd still be as rotten to each other as we are.

Saying that though, we are getting better

Re: Reincarnation

Agreed. I like to think that this is sort of like a ladder we have to climb in order to get off the merry-go-round of life - we have to improve as a person by choice.

Re: Reincarnation

If we had the knowledge tho' - that would make a difference ....

Re: Reincarnation

Yes because you'd be making the choices for selfish reasons rather than unselfish ones and if I was god, that's a rule I would put in force

Re: Reincarnation

Paul I don't believe in reincarnation but if it existed I guess we could come back anywhere in the world.
People don't get to choose where they are born, it happens.

Re: Reincarnation

Could be that Humans are a bit like computers, you can format a disk, but when you reboot, you get the feeling that some of the original information is still in there., the clever device stored a bit of info elsewhere

Re: Reincarnation

I think you need to prove reincarnation actually exists before debating how the mechanics of it are supposed to work.

If it does exist, what is this "something" which leaves the body at the point of death and 'floats' into another body which has just been born/conceived?

Re: Reincarnation

My favourite subject,30 seconds before i die i am going to become a Muslim so i get 72 Virgins,wow,cant wait,geez you got to joke about it though, murder 3000 people and be rewarded with "SEX"??

I mean do these idiot terrorists and mass murderers or child killers really think they will be rewarded for killing?? very strange heads some people have.
I believe in Karma,that and reincarnation are like brothers in my opinion,cant have one without the other.
I believe that the Adolf Hitlers and Ghengis Khans etc all come back as Great Reformers,what happened to all the cruel Japanese soldiersand Hitlers SS? in a fair world they would have to come back to suffer,not be rewarded and born into privllige with an easy life and all the trappings of wealth.
Why are people born poor in Africa? maybe they were Hitlers SS or others murderers,the Moors murderers? what will they come back as? and what will their terrified victims come back as? makes you wonder,the only thing about death is that it makes us all equal.
