1-can I remember my old life?
2-the Reincarnation will be forever or there is end? and what is the end?
3-my next life will depend on my present life? like if I'm rich now , I will be rich in the next life? or poor??? or or or?? if I hurt someone in my present life so i will get hurt in my next life ?? etc etc
4-if I killed my self what will happen in my next life?
Thanks :)
 
Hi Khaled, welcome to the forum :)


I'll try to answer your questions, but some of them are a matter of personal belief or opinion.

can I remember my old life?
Yes, anyone can remember their past lives, and most of us do, although many people fail to realize that everyday habits, fears, interests can all have their roots in a past life. With practice, you can learn to remember specific memories from specific lifetimes ... some people find this easier to master than others, but everyone can do it, 'practice' is the key word. How can I learn about my past lives?

the Reincarnation will be forever or there is end? and what is the end?
There seems to be a number of different beliefs regarding this question. Some people believe that we will go on reincarnating forever as time has no meaning outside of our physical reality. Others believe that we will continue to reincarnate until the soul reaches 'Nirvana', or perfection, and then we become one with a collective consciousness, or God, or the Creator, whatever you choose to call Him/Her/It? Personally, the latter of these beliefs sounds more appealing to me :)

my next life will depend on my present life? like if I'm rich now , I will be rich in the next life? or poor??? or or or?? if I hurt someone in my present life so i will get hurt in my next life ?? etc etc
I don't believe so. If you are 'rich' in this life, you may be rich in the next, or you may not. When you look at the bigger picture, wealth in the material world means nothing in the spirit world. Some people believe that if you harm another person then you will have to pay for that in a subsequent life (or karma) again, I don't believe this, I believe that in some lives we may be the victim, and in others, the perpetrator. The purpose of reincarnating is to learn every facet of life, both the good and the bad, so you will hurt and you will be hurt, but I don't believe the two correlate with each other. However I do believe that we can influence our future lives by the way we approach our current life's lessons, which leads me to your final question....

if I killed my self what will happen in my next life?
Well first of all, I hope this question is just a curiosity on your part, anybody with thoughts of taking their own life is in serious need of help and we cannot provide sufficient counselling in this forum, we can however point you in the right direction if needed. I think anybody who takes their own life is setting themselves up for more heartbreak in subsequent lives. I believe we choose the kind of life we are destined to live, before we are born. We come to the physical world to learn specific lessons, and if we choose to throw in the towel and give up when things become too difficult, then we will at some point have to face these issues again in other lives, and keep on facing them until we learn the lesson.


Please remember that these answers are my personal opinion, and others will probably follow with their own differing opinions. Best thing to do is browse the forum, read the Frequently Asked Questions, and you should find the answers to all your questions - we also have a good search tool that you can use. In the meantime, here are a few links that you may find helpful:

 
Hi Khaled...and welcome to the Forum!


Answers to each of your questions has created volumes of very interesting and consistent testimony from people who have had Near Death Experiences, very young children who remember past lives and even periods between lives, plus a variety of people who have had revealing dreams, meditations, insights and Out of Body Experiences.


I think Chris did a very good job of summarizing his answers to your questions; and resources on this Forum could provide enough information to keep you interested for several years.


It's great that you already have a sense of having lived before. That's important. But, don't be frustrated, if you are unable to obtain much validation beyond that. Many experiencers say that there is a reason why some people are allowed to remember. By the same token, there are reasons why most of us are unable to remember anything beyond this lifetime.


It is enough for some of us to read Carol Bowman's books about Childrens Past Lives, and their Return from Heaven. In addition, there are volumes of scientific data to assure us that something like reincarnation is very real.


Keep asking questions. But, read the questions asked by other members also, and have fun.
 
Hi Khaled,


If we take into account the infinite possibilities of not only life in this almost infinite universe but also the very strong possibility of there being other dimensions, there are infinite possibilities for the Soul.


Based on my own experience, I would say that there is a limited number of reincarnations in our world, and that when we have reached a certain degree of development or "enlightenment" there is no longer a need to reincarnate at this level. Apparently what happens is that such Spiritual Entities then spend some time "on the other side" working upon assisting others who are reincarnated in their spiritual evolution by working as "Spiritual Guides". After this task is also completed and the Spirit has learned what has been intended, they then move onto other worlds, plains or "dimensions". This is what has come through via mediumnic spiritual encounters.


Unlike Chris, however, I do believe in a "karmic" aspect in the process. As I have had very strong evidence throughout my lifetime that I may have lived a past life in the persona of Prince Charles Edward Stuart, aka Bonnie Prince Charlie, in the 18th century, I was once told that "in this past life I had everything handed to me in trays of silver and good", which is why in this lifetime I reincarnated at a level in which what I might achieve would be based solely on my own work and effort. No "rich dad" in this lifetime, I'm afraid... :rolleyes:


To me this is a point that again justifies a belief in reincarnation contrary to, say, "one life, one death and eternal absolution or condemnation based on the opportunities of just this one life". What justice would there be in this? What would determine what kind of life each one of us would live, whether a child of a rich American family or a poor starving child in Africa? And what perfect and benevolent God would permit that a portion of His/Her children, His/Her Creation, should be lost forever in a lifetime of eternal suffering in a place called "hell"?


I do agree with Chris, however, that in each lifetime we are given the opportunity to undergo different experiences in order to learn and progress spiritually...

Hi thanks a lot Chrisr , Nightrain and Charles for the welcoming and the answers :) :)


and I'm happy here :)


so, is the Reincarnation depend on Views not Scientifically proven theories?
 
Hi Khaled!


Many people feel strongly that Reincarnation has been scientifically proven. Dr. Ian Stevenson spent his entire life doing research in India, Lebanon, Bangladesh and Myanmar (Burma), plus quite a bit in Europe and the United States during the latter part of his life. He approached that research as a skeptic, and used the most stringent criteria for testing the validity of numerous stories. As a result, he published a number of books featuring his results. If you read them, you'll be convinced that reincarnation is very real. In addition, Carol Bowman's two books contain verifiable information. Some might not think this kind of research is empirical science, but so much of what people do call science is nothing more than observation.


However, there are other paranormal areas of study like remote viewing, telepathy, and psychic influence on random number generators, in which experiments have been successfully conducted using tight double-blind controls. If these experiments prove that something paranormal is happening; then, one will realize that other paranormal phenomenon could be possible. Reincarnation is a paranormal subject, and what is most interesting about it, is that many children between the ages of 2-6 can remember their past lives. In one case featuring James Leininger, a boy remembered being a fighter pilot who died over the island of Iwo Jima during World War II in the Pacific. He remembered details of his plane, the aircraft carrier he flew from, and the names of his fellow pilots. All of this has been verified.


When you speak of Scientific evidence of Reincarnation and other paranormal phenomenon, you may also notice that quantum physics has proven that our material universe is actually made of of energy, which seems to have a mind of its own. So much that we thought was real has been proven to be an illusion. Numerous experiments have shown that objects can be in other places at the same time. And modern philosophers feel that we are embarking upon a new way of looking at life.


Reincarnation does exist. Telepathy exists. Remote Viewing is possible. Mediums are able to sense accurate information about people who have passed over (died). The list goes on, and is growing every day; in spite of the fact that any scientist, who investigates the paranormal, is shunned by their institutions and fellow academics. Funding for such experiments and research is very slow in coming, and there is so much more that should be studied; while the rest of the world is spending obscene amounts of money on weapons and medicine. People seem to want to live forever, without realizing that their souls are already immortal. Someday, all of this will become clear to the rest of the world.
 
Very difficult to prove anything either way, Khaled, but there are several very strong evidences in its favour.


Also difficult for there to be a consensus on all points, though there are some that seem to be quite clear. That reincarnation most definitely seems to be a reality is one of them! :) :thumbsup:
