Reincarnation???

Does anybody else here believe in reincarnation?
As hard as it is to reconcile with my scientific knowledge, I can't help but think that reincarnation would explain things such as virtuoso children, night terrors of seemingly random events, children who remember past lives, and near-death experiences (where someone who had no heartbeat or EEG can relay events from the time but often from 'outside' the body).
I know many people in 'the West' will ridicule this idea - there are other threads for you guys 😁). I would like to hear from anyone else who shares my views!

Hi Jason, if all this sounds like gobbledegook then maybe you wandered into the wrong thread? 😁

But if it has made you start asking yourself some questions, maybe it will be the start of your own personal spiritual journey (can't think of a way to say that without it sounding like a massive cliché but never mind!)

I'm all for self awareness and open to the possibilities of things we cannot understand - but some peoples use of words is frankly weird Smile

I'm happy that it works for you but think that those attitudes account for India having a space program and most of its people have no access to sanitation.
But, hey, it's all an illusion.

...and as for the thought that the millions of starving more might chosen their lot! Words fail me

Ok, wrong word, 'non-sensical' would be better Smile

Vitalogy · 23/08/2018 19:44

It all used to make no sense to me either.
