Real Reincarnation Questions

[Ankhe]

I say real reincarnation questions, because i have asked a variety of these questions before in separate threads, but the questions still feel unresolved.

Past life memories/phobias
Are they just ancestral memories and fears passed down through genetics? As already partially discussed on another thread in this forum.

Doing the Math
There is no denying that there are more humans on Earth today, than there ever has been. Doesn't this create a sort of imbalance? How does this make sense in the grand scale of things?

Evolution of reincarnation
When and how did reincarnation begin? Is there any conclusive evidence to this?

Can a human soul reincarnate into an animal or vice versa? If not, do animals experience reincarnation amongst their own species?

Similar Appearance
Do we look most similar to our most significant past life, or a mixture of past lives? However it is said that humans share a certain set of genetics which make us look very similar to someone we may not be directly related too.

Choice
Do we get a choice as to whom we are reincarnated as, or are we just placed in the most compatible human?

Finally
Do we always reincarnate til the end of time? Or is there a limit, a point where our soul stops? If so, why and what happens then?

ridiculous
It may seem like a ridiculous question, but if there were extra terrestrial life out there, wouldn't we share reincarnations with them haha? Don't suppose it works like that though.

Past life memories/phobias

Some people suggest that past life memories might be something passed down with our DNA, but I personally find this explanation cumbersome and less than satisfying. The things people remember seem to detailed, emotional and personal that I don't believe it could be anything to do with our DNA. I think this sort of thing is an attempt by scientifically minded people to explain away the 'soul' and pretend that we are nothing more than the sum of our cells.


I think a lot of 'instinctive' behaviours in all animals, not just humans, might be past life related. Even if people don't remember the details of their past lives, many people will instinctively step back from a high ledge, or feel a bit queazy in high places. I read somewhere about baby birds which will hide when the shadow of a hawk flies over them, even though they are too young to have learned this behaviour from their mothers. There are a lot of examples like this.

Doing the Math

There is a thread in the FAQ section on this.


The population debate

Evolution of reincarnation
When and how did reincarnation begin? Is there any conclusive evidence to this?

A lot of people have memories going back to the 'stone age'. I don't see why reincarnation should not be part of the experience of all living things, including single celled creatures. I don't know how this could be proven, but it just seems to make sense to me.

 

[tanguerra]

Can a human soul reincarnate into an animal or vice versa? If not, do animals experience reincarnation amongst their own species?

In my view not. I see the 'soul' as something like the DNA blueprint for creating a particular type of being, but I don't really know. I'm just guessing. Various different traditions have different views on this.

Similar Appearance
Do we look most similar to our most significant past life, or a mixture of past lives? However it is said that humans share a certain set of genetics which make us look very similar to someone we may not be directly related too.

Just judging by stories on the forum and things I remember myself, I think our appearance tends to be similar from one life to the next, but it changes over time too. A person might be taller or shorter or have different features, based on their racial heritage and so on, but there is often some kind of resemblance that seems to carry through.

Choice


Do we get a choice as to whom we are reincarnated as, or are we just placed in the most compatible human?

From people's accounts of the 'life between life' state, people are usually presented with some options to choose from, depending on the timing and various issues like this. Michael Newton has written several books on this kind of thing. Worth a look.


The Newton Institute

Finally


Do we always reincarnate til the end of time? Or is there a limit, a point where our soul stops? If so, why and what happens then?

Some people think that at some point, when we reach a level of spiritual evolution, we are released from the cycle of reincarnation. At that stage we become 'something else'. Maybe spiritual elders of some sort and so a new phase of existence begins. Some spirits choose to keep coming back to help and instruct. The Buddhists call these 'Bodhisattvas'.

ridiculous


It may seem like a ridiculous question, but if there were extra terrestrial life out there, wouldn't we share reincarnations with them haha? Don't suppose it works like that though.

We leave out discussions of extra-terrestrial incarnations on the forum, preferring to keep things simple and stay on this planet, but certainly people have reported this. I see no reason why it couldn't happen personally.

Hi Ankhe


I understand your frustrations. You cannot get a straight answers to your questions because there are none.


If you want hard physical evidence of reincarnation, then you are possibly surround by it and fail to understand what it is


I gave the following example on my first thread on this forum


A flower begins to grow in your garden Just a tiny green shoot to begin with. As time goes by the little shoot grows into sturdy


stem. A little later it grows a flower bud which a little later bursts into a beautiful flower . The flower has reached maturity and basks in all of its glory.


As time goes by the flower withers and dies. We take it and throw it in the trash or we burn it or get rid of it somehow


But it leaves behind a bulb. We dig it up and take into the garden shed. The next year we plant the bulb and another flower grows, which is exactly the same species as the flower that died never to return. The original flower died never to return, but it left behind everything it was in a bulb so it would grow again


That is the closest there is of proof of reincarnation in the physical


Think about that then ask yourself again the questions you have asked on your thread


Regards

 

[AOSpare]

You can never be certain but here is what I was taught!


I will only address the last question you have for I am tired :yawn: - plus tanguerra covered most...


It has been said (and I share that view); that FIRST ET incarnated on earth instead of so called later visitations. Often these men(ET) were killed but they kept on because they had a job to do..


Early cave men had their shamans, seers and healers from incarnated spirits from the Dog star Sirius. This was to "kick off" the evolution of men. Later, to check on the progress of men these same ET's physically traveled the skies...


Ancient Egypt and perhaps other civilizations, Maya, Aztec etc were visited by ET from Sirius.

 

[Ankhe]

Thank you all for your answers. Initially I was a firm believer of reincarnation. Though I am not religious, I see religion more of a figment of our imagination and wishful thinking that there is something beyond death. This all got me thinking about reincarnation and as to whether it's a similar thought process.


Though I want so much to believe in reincarnation and it does in many contexts make sense to me.


If you have any information that could help, would be appreciated.

 

[AOSpare]

The Eastern School of thought is often called atheistic because it does not believe in a personal, anthropomorphic g-d, of the Abraham's religions.(Judaism, Christianity, Islam). For many god is infinity.

Reincarnation is nothing to do with religion in my view. Some people mix the two up, but I don't think you have to have any religious beliefs at all to accept that reincarnation 'happens'.


In my opinion it's a perfectly natural process, like any other. John's analogy of a bulb that flowers every year is a good one. It is just something that 'happens'. We don't have to understand 'why'. We don't have to believe that somehow God (however you conceive her) is behind it. We don't have to know all the details of 'how' it works exactly. However, past life memory is easily observable. It is something people can experience for themselves with a few simple techniques.


There is way too much information, way too many stories, way too many documented historical facts that have been validated and just a mountain of evidence to suggest that people not only have more than one life, they often remember a lot of the details about them.


Our culture has repressed any discussion of reincarnation for various reasons, mostly to do with the centralised power and control of the church in older times and the rise of 'rationalism' and 'materialism' in more modern times. Other cultures just accept it as simple fact and get on with it. Other cultures, such as Buddhist, Hindu and various indigenous people, worship a variety of gods, or no gods. It doesn't have to have anything to do with a belief in reincarnation.


The only way to be really convinced though, is not through using an intellectual process. It is through having an experience of your own. Then you will be much more likely to be convinced. Have you ever tried?

Thank you for your responses! Yes, I have tried a many times, past life regression that is and every time I feel as if it's going to work, I get interrupted, as if It's not meant to happen yet? I even tried with a "professional" but that was pure imagination, because the woman made me feel uncomfortable from the beginning. How does a proper past life regression feel? Is it as if you're actually there, in that place? or is it more like a dream feeling or just imagination like?

 

[AOSpare]

I am the same way...tried self-regression to no avail. Could not find a decent pro (I am also cheap) and disinterested...I could not care of the details...it is a philosophical issue if not religious...do you believe that there is something after death or not? If you know that there is something there, why bother, obsess? At least this is my attitude..

It's not the same for everyone. Some people don't "see" anything but just "know" things. When I did a regression many years ago I "saw" things in my mind's eye. I was looking through the person's eyes. It felt real and I felt I could reach out and touch what I was seeing. When questions were asked, the answers just popped into my head. The answers I got seemed to be valid.

 

[tanguerra]

To me it feels like a memory. I will get 'flashes' of scenes, sometimes with a bit of dialogue, most times not, but I know what it was about. I describe it a bit like watching a movie trailer of a movie that you saw years ago, but had forgotten watching. Once you see the trailer, the whole movie comes back to you. But others, as argonne says, are not as visual as some. Some people have a 'feeling' that they 'know' something. Or will get just words or names coming into their mind, and they just know what they mean.


It's not like in the movies when things are all spooky and you go into a deep trance or anything. I will often still be aware of what is happening around me. It's more like just focusing your attention 'inwards' for a change, and seeing beneath the surface.


When people first begin they say it feels like their imagination. But I think it's because that's the same part of the mind at work somehow - visualising things perhaps? To me, because I am more used to it I suppose, I can feel the difference between a memory and something made up. The memory is always vastly more detailed and rich than anything I could just make up by myself.


Some people will say their mind will jump to a scene from a movie or a book from the historical period in question. That's OK. Often your mind is casting about for an image to explain something. Often people will have been drawn to the movie or the book because it reminded them of something from a past life. I just let my mind go where it wants until something will start coming into better focus. It's not like in the movies where everything is all neat and tidy and edited. You just need to trust yourself and go with what comes up is the best advice I guess.


You can download a Youtube onto your Iphone and listen to it with headphones to simulate a guided meditation. People have had a lot of success with those. Sometimes it takes a couple of goes to learn how to relax enough to switch off your mind chatter. A lot of people who are very 'rational' and 'logical' often have thoughts intruding like 'this isn't working, this is my imagination, how do I know I'm not just making this up' and so on and that can get in the way. But if you can just relax into it, many people have had success.


It's important to do it when you already feeling relaxed and not in a hurry or worried about being interrupted. That gives you a bit of a head start.


There is a thread about that here:


Audio CDs and MP3s

 

[tanguerra]

However. I will just add a note of caution, not necessarily for anyone's benefit in particular, but just in general. This is not a parlour game. If someone is having trouble with something traumatic they should approach self-regression with caution. A professional therapist is best to deal with difficult material, rather than trying to struggle with something heavy on your own.


But, most people don't have too many problems. If something scarey comes up, or anything you don't like, you can just wiggle your toes and open your eyes and come right out of it. You can process any experiences and thoughts that come to you by writing about it in your journal.


This is a very good thread from the FAQs that talks about that sort of thing.


What is a regression and what can I expect

 

[PastPilot]

Past life memories/phobias
Are they just ancestral memories and fears passed down through genetics? As already partially discussed on another thread in this forum.

I doubt it simply because of the detail presented in flashbacks and dreams. I have a hard time believing that we are "picking up" on someone else's past or vibration. However, I have read in others sources where you can be shown other people's past lives, if it serves a purpose.

Doing the Math
There is no denying that there are more humans on Earth today, than there ever has been. Doesn't this create a sort of imbalance? How does this make sense in the grand scale of things?

Better to ask: How many souls were there to start with, and have there been more souls created since the start? Failure to come up with an answer devoids the "Doing the Math" question because you don't know any of the original sums. Its like trying to work out a math problem that states: I show you 10 marbles, which is 2 marbles more than I showed you last week. How many marbles do I have? The answer: I have over 100,000 marbles, but how would you know that from viewing the marbles I showed you? How many souls exist today vs two thousand years ago really means nothing. There could be a huge bottleneck problem at the soul factory.

Similar Appearance
Do we look most similar to our most significant past life, or a mixture of past lives? However it is said that humans share a certain set of genetics which make us look very similar to someone we may not be directly related too.

We do look similar to Hom-o sapiens. Hom-o sapiens have been around for the last 70,000 years or so. That is what defines our appearance. We are all more similar to one another than we have differences.

Choice
Do we get a choice as to whom we are reincarnated as, or are we just placed in the most compatible human?

I have read that we have a choice but prefer humans as that is what we are familiar with. I have read where souls have tried other intelligent beings/animals. Some souls have stated that the differences are too great and it made them uncomfortable, others stated that they felt hindered and the differences in intelligence, physical limitations, too great or different from being on Earth. I have read that its a bit of an effort to be human;something that takes a few lifetimes to get used to.

Finally
Do we always reincarnate til the end of time? Or is there a limit, a point where our soul stops? If so, why and what happens then?

I have read that our goal is to reunite with our source (which some call God). However, since I have also read that time does not exist, I suppose all the time is the end of time.

ridiculous
It may seem like a ridiculous question, but if there were extra terrestrial life out there, wouldn't we share reincarnations with them haha? Don't suppose it works like that though.


Ankhe

Like "Choice" above, I have read instances where this has happened. As souls, variety and experience seems to be our driving force, so its possible.

I was wondering. Have you ever had a dream I describe below or a dream similar to it?


Your are lying in some grass, or maybe just sand The grass ends where the sand begins. There is a sea or some big expanse of water. Behind you is a small wooden house, which you assume is where you live. There are several children playing around you as well as an adult which you assume is your partner


You feel completely happy and contented. Have you ever dreamt that or something like that?

[Marc Ross]

Regardless of how much we learned (even through thoughtful studies on reincarnation), we still interpret the concept of reincarnation as inconclusive.


The question that I've asked, why don’t the strong cases suggestive of reincarnation tie-in to even some of Dr. Ian Stevenson’s criteria found in worldwide case-studies comparing past and present lives.


For example, where is that six-degrees of separation between past and present lives e.g., geographical regions, relationships amongst family, friends, colleagues, etc.?

 

[tanguerra]

I don't really understand what you mean Marc? Can you explain?

 

[Ehrenbreitstein]

I'm going to do my best to answer your questions, but my answers are merely my opinion based on studying reincarnation and spirituality for the last 20 years. I wish I had all the answers and I understand it can be hard to not know for sure.


Past life memories/phobias


Are they just ancestral memories and fears passed down through genetics? As already partially discussed on another thread in this forum.


Seems to me like a mix of both. Recent scientific cases have shown learned behavior that is passed down in generations of mice. It also seems obvious that past life trauma can lead to specific phobias in our lives if the trauma was strong and not dealt with.


Doing the Math


There is no denying that there are more humans on Earth today, than there ever has been. Doesn't this create a sort of imbalance? How does this make sense in the grand scale of things?


I hear this one a lot as to why reincarnation can't be true. But I always wonder, why can't there be an excess of souls "in waiting," if you will. Just waiting to come into the ring?


Evolution of reincarnation


When and how did reincarnation begin? Is there any conclusive to this?


Good question. Maybe it always existed? Look at the works of Dr. Ian Stevenson and Dr. Jim Tucker who use extensive case studies and the scientific method as an approach to proving reincarnation.


Can a human soul reincarnate into an animal or vice versa? If not, do animals experience reincarnation amongst their own species?


Would like to know for sure, but I have a feeling animals and humans have different soul levels. I would think that we would not reincarnate downwards if the goal is something like attaining Nirvava. But maybe we once experienced life as an animal?


Similar Appearance


Do we look most similar to our most significant past life, or a mixture of past lives? However it is said that humans share a certain set of genetics which make us look very similar to someone we may not be directly related too.


I've seen a lot of evidence for people looking similar to their most recent past life. With genetics there are always going to be similar looking humans, but I find the coincidence of some people looking like their past lives to be too eerie to be a chance. I'm not talking about celebrity lookalikes who seem like more random genetic coincidences.


Choice


Do we get a choice as to whom we are reincarnated as, or are we just placed in the most compatible human?


A lot of spiritual reading and evidence from people who remember would point to them making a choice to be who they are and even chose their parents and their life situations. There are also people who remember just ending up in a new body after death so there's that too.


Finally


Do we always reincarnate til the end of time? Or is there a limit, a point where our soul stops? If so, why and what happens then?


There's the Buddhist concept of Nirvana, or ultimate enlightenment, when a soul no longer needs to reincarnate. Maybe we become some sort of higher life form?


ridiculous


It may seem like a ridiculous question, but if there were extra terrestrial life out there, wouldn't we share reincarnations with them haha? Don't suppose it works like that though.


I think logically this is a correct assumption to make and I do believe that this is the case for us, that we can incarnate into alien life forms, but I also think there are rules on the board against talking about alien incarnations.

 

[AOSpare]

I like to mainly address the population issue as I have had this discussion before. By some people it is assumed that all life (even mineral form) evolves and contains something we call a divine principle.(Atman) From mineral to plant to animal form and finally human we evolve - not only on Earth but throughout the Universe. Even if this (evolution from animal to human) has stopped on Earth it might continue elsewhere in the Solar system or beyond. The main driving force of this evolution is reincarnation into a higher form of life. This explains the conundrum some have with the pop. count.


A spirit is a spirit on Earth as well as on Sirius, the life form might look different on Earth as on Sirius, but the origin is the same - everlasting Spirit.

I say real reincarnation questions, because i have asked a variety of these questions before in separate threads, but the questions still feel unresolved.
Past life memories/phobias


Are they just ancestral memories and fears passed down through genetics? As already partially discussed on another thread in this forum.


Your past life memories come from the shared knowledge with the Divine Principle via your higher self (subconscious). The DNA maybe a hint to pass on some traits but it is not the storehouse of memories. That is in your Aura.

At the formation of this Universe, it already started.


Can a human soul reincarnate into an animal or vice versa? If not, do animals experience reincarnation amongst their own species?


Yes and no. Reincarnation usually follows the evolutionary, linear progression, however in some cases it might be possible to reincarnate into an animal from human...(why not?)


Similar Appearance


Do we look most similar to our most significant past life, or a mixture of past lives? However it is said that humans share a certain set of genetics which make us look very similar to someone we may not be directly related too.


We were men, women, gay, straight, black, Asian, smart, dumb, tall, short, ugly, beautiful etc before. This is why we must accept all life as it is, and cherish it because we have been there before.


Choice


Do we get a choice as to whom we are reincarnated as, or are we just placed in the most compatible human?


No. Never. It is based on your Karmic balance (good and bad Karma), your deeds, acts and thoughts.


Finally


Do we always reincarnate til the end of time? Or is there a limit, a point where our soul stops? If so, why and what happens then?


No, we reincarnate only while we are imperfect (in Spirit), once we prefect(evolved) we join the Divine principle in Oneness

Of course we do , life is life on Earth as well as on Sirius.

 

[Marc Ross]

I don't really understand what you mean Marc? Can you explain?

Hi Tanguerra,


In short, I'm asking why strong cases suggestive of reincarnation too often barely meet any of Dr. Ian Stevenson's criteria his case-studies established; criteria that assessed that six-degrees of separation between the past-lives and present lives e.g., same geographical regions, relationships amongst family, friends, colleagues, etc.?

 

[tanguerra]

Sorry Marc. I still don't get it. Do you mean why don't people all know each other? Why do/don't people incarnate in different countries? I'm not sure what you're getting at here.

 

[Marc Ross]

Sorry Marc. I still don't get it. Do you mean why don't people all know each other? Why do/don't people incarnate in different countries? I'm not sure what you're getting at here.

I'm asking why strong cases suggestive of reincarnation e.g., the Lenninger case almost never meet any of Dr. Ian Stevenson's criteria drawn from his worldwide case-studies. In short, there are no known connections (as Dr. Stevenson discerned) between past and present lives. That's it!

What exactly are Dr. Ian Stevenson's criteria? I thought it was just children who know information they could not have gotten any other way? James Leininger seemed like a good case in that respect.

Thank you for your responses! Yes, I have tried a many times, past life regression that is and every time I feel as if it's going to work, I get interrupted, as if It's not meant to happen yet? I even tried with a "professional" but that was pure imagination, because the woman made me feel uncomfortable from the beginning. How does a proper past life regression feel? Is it as if you're actually there, in that place? or is it more like a dream feeling or just imagination like?

The regressions I've done that work, I saw things, sort of like watching a movie. Since I'm not a visual person at all, when these things pop up, I take them seriously. I've done a professional one and self-guided. It's not imagination in my opinion, because the things that have come up I would not in my wildest imaginings (of which I have none anyway) would I make up.

Real Reincarnations Questions/Doing the Math


The fact that there are currently more people on earth than at any given time in the past is used to refute the possibility of reincarnation. However, the scientific estimate of the total number of people who've ever lived is huge -- between 100 billion and 115 billion, plenty of bodies to go around. See the Wikipedia article on the subject:


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_population#Number_of_humans_who_have_ever_lived

 

[argonne1918]

The fact that there are currently more people on earth than at any given time in the past is used to refute the possibility of reincarnation.

The other mistake they make is not realizing that lifespans were very short in the distant past. Most people only lived to age 30 or 40, at most. And 50% of babies born died before age 5. So there were lots and lots of opportunities to reincarnate, but not for very long. Helen Wambach talks about this in her research.

 

[AOSpare]

You are forgetting that it is possible to reincarnate into a different star system or planet as it is possible to incarnate to Earth from other solar systems. Your thinking is way too Earth-centric in this big Universe of one of many.
