Well, I have started up a discussion with a few people, and everyone I know has had things to share about what they believe, but this is my story.

Well, dabbling on the subject of Reincarnation with a few people; I've
stumbled across a few interesting things.

My opinion on the subject?


Well, Reincarnation is viewed by some people as outrageous of fiction, I
view it as something to look forward to, I personally do NOT believe that
we spend eternity floating around when we die; unless there is something
disturbing our natural spirit; Something that we have to reconcile
ourselves before we can finally be at peace with our previous life. Imagine
spending eternity in heaving or hell (Not that I believe in either, but
this is not the place for that, nor will I care for discussions on that
matter) Do I really think that is what happens when we die? No.

Why I believe this? Well, if you have ever had a dream where YOU were set
in a certain place in time; Time period clothing and attributes and had
noticed that the person had ALL the same characteristics of yourself; Look
into Lucid dreaming, You can go back and spark the dream again, either
continuing and/or finishing it.

I've had these types of dreams, and I do believe I have dreamed about
multiple past lives, It's no coincidence seeing as I've traced my ancestry
back and 90% of my dreams coincide to over 200 years in the past. But
Reincarnation; among with other philosophies are one of the few that I do
avidly believe in, I couldn't exactly place who I was or where I was, but
you do get the feeling that it is you, not just placing yourself in that
time period, but actually knowing the person.

There are possibly many types of Reincarnation; whether it be animal, human
or another form of life.

What is your take on this subject?

Well, if you take a little time out of the day to actually piece together some
different opinions, I have, and they are as followed:

Being an "Angel" or "Devil" in Heaven or Hell is entirely flawed, The main thing
is - Would "God" if there is one, actually want you to spend all of eternity in
one of those two places? Everyone screws up; Nobody is a Patron Saint. You spend
all of eternity drifting and wandering; Waiting for people you've known to die
so you can meet them? That's fucked up.


Also; Wouldn't so-called, "God" want you to actually prosper and learn new life experiences? Thus reincarnation comes into play, You've experienced one thing, Why not experience another? Say I was a lawyer, a stuck up life; But when I die and and I am reincarnated; I'm a homeless person, Living on the streets. Learning the best of both worlds and in the long run, gaining knowledge on everything is possibly the main point of existence itself. We may not remember it but I fully believe that we have a so-called, "Book of Life" where the generation's lessons and flaws are learned and documented for our next life's purpose. We decide whether to follow these or deny them.

In the end, when we've learned everything there is to know; Our book is then
published and archived for the next lost souls to read and learn from, so that
they may be reincarnated into another beautiful soul.

Reincarnation can be a curse or a gift. Stating what one person said; About a Chinese peasant who died at age 5 of a disease; Well taking into account that some people who do not understand or people who look down upon peasants and the homeless - Reincarnation would be the curse of living that life without knowing it, It would be a life experience in your book; Everything is possible, it's just the way you want to see it. I personally believe in it and actually look forward to it, I do know that if it's possible I will not remember any of what I am saying now, but sometimes if the will is there and the want to learn is there, you will be rewarded at the very end.

These are my opinions; This is my life. Do not judge my beliefs as I have not
judged yours.

I personally don't believe in the concept of reincarnation. It sounds to implausible to think that your consciousness exists past your life. Though many people do believe in it my opinion is that is doesn't exist.
 
Well, I do believe in a lot of things. Every man/woman is entitled to their own opinion and shouldn't be crucified for it, So if anyone has anything to flame against - Take it somewhere else.

That's just a warning, I don't want to create a "Holy war" with people, these are just my own beliefs and I know other people do share in the same thing.
 
I'm not a troll.

Just been hung up on Chuck Norris jokes lately. lol.

Chuck Norris doesn't battle, he just allows you to lose.
 
Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm devoutly ATHEIST. I don't believe in anything. I'm also quite adverse to flaming so expect only pleasant conversation from me.

Either way. What is your stand point, in more of a condensed version, your first post was TL;DR
 
Well there is no real way to shorten it, but I can give it a shot.

Reincarnation is my strong belief; It allows you to document ALL of life's hardships and easycomings into a book, and when you've finally acquired all the knowledge (Which can't actually happen) You're done. So in theory your "book" actually has a series in a Library that holds your books and publish's them for people who aren't able to be released into a new soul yet, so that they may learn.
 
Reincarnation, has a few meanings.

I mean the definition is of course, a person or animal, whos soul is believed to be reborn.

But there's otherways to look at it. Scientifically, when a animal dies it becomes part of the earth , feeds the plants, plants feed the animals. So it's soul is continually being reborn into other parts of nature..

But to say that, you'd have to (insert your definition) of soul.

Lots of different ways to think about reincarnation.
 
Reincarnation is actually interpreted in hundreds of different ways by people, Everyone's opinion about it is different. Some can seem realistic while others seem VERY Sci-fi'ness

As a pantheist, I suppose I do support the idea of reincarnation but not in the same sense as you. My beliefs are that when you die, all consciousness ceases (in line with all scientific data showing no proof of any form of soul or what have you) and your body will slowly decay until the atoms that you're made up of are eventually thrown back into space (nature recycles ;)) and eventually will form many different celestial bodies.

I just explained that very badly, but I don't expect that you will come to appreciate it anyway, so there's no point really.
 
Well, actually I do appreciate how you can voice your opinion and your beliefs, as I said before I'm not here to criticize or judge people on the way they view life, we all have different ways of seeing things.

I've only brought up the subject to see what other people think and so that I could get a basic idea of how the community can be all united instead of intolerant.

But I'm not here to bash, so I like the way you've interpreted it :D!

How are these atoms "thrown" back into space, after you're decayed?

It's not something that happens in a matter of a few years. In our case here on Earth, what is left of our bodies that doesn't radiate back into space as we decay will be vaporized by our Sun expanding as it is about to condense into a white dwarf and die. In other cases, it might be a supernova. My viewpoint isn't limited to our Earth.
