When did you first start to believe in reincarnation?

I would have to say it was during my NDE back in 1981. During the NDE I was out of the body floating above the earth looking at the sunrise on the other side of the planet. As I looked down upon the earth, I realized I could sense all the billions of souls down below me each one playing out their own life dramas. The earth looked so fragile yet incredibility beautiful against the blackness of space. As I turned my head away from the earth I lookout out into the cosmos and at first, I thought I was seeing billions of stars. However, after a closer inspection I realized it was not stars I was looking at but galaxies. Billions upon billions of galaxies. The sheer number of them left me speechless. At this moment I felt as if I could sense that the whole universe was filled with life everywhere I looked. But at different stages of evolution. I could literally feel everything in the cosmos, and it was in this moment I realized I had lived before. Not just a few lifetimes but literally thousands of them. I realized I was eternal as soul and always had been. And all of humanity down below me had been incarnating upon the earth for tens if not hundreds of thousands of years yet not knowing who they really were. Everything in that moment made senses to me for the first time in my life. What I did not realized at the time was I was experiencing cosmic consciousness. There was so much information being conveyed to me all at once I felt overwhelmed from the sheer beauty and simplicity of it all that all I could do was cry. However, they were not tears of sadness but tears of sheer joy, love and true connection to spirit and God. I never felt so in creditably loved and understood.


It was then suddenly I felt a presence from behind me. As I turned around to look at what it was a light appeared before my eyes. I realized this was just not a light but a living presence in all things seen and unseen from the eyes of man. The light was brighter than ten thousand suns, yet it did not hurt to look at it. As I approached the light all I wanted to do was merge with it completely forever. It was then that a hand appeared from the light, and it pressed against my chest and pushed me away saying (not now). I was then hurled downward from where I was and felt myself getting smaller and smaller like I was going through a tube or tunnel that was getting narrower. Finally, at last, I ended up being just a pinpoint of consciousness within the darkness as all light around me was now gone. I felt heavy, dense and limited being where I was now. It was then I opened my eyes, and I was back in my physical body in the emergency room of the hospital being worked on by the hospital staff. I hated being back there as everything felt dead, flat, cold and lifeless. Where I had just been was far more alive and real then where I was now. But after recovering in the hospital, I realized I had lived before which was something I was never taught as a child growing up in a Baptist family. So, after that experience, my life changed forever, and I was never the same person again. This experience that took place those many years ago led me to the realization that the process of reincarnation is actually real.

Love and peace

Almost the same experience for me! NDE when I was 18 after an accident, driving a horse and carriage. Same vision and feelings. I awoke in the ambulance, hard time to be back in your body and feel the pain, cold and all the incessant thoughts in your mind again. No words can really describe the other side.
It has changed my life.
Shortly after that I started to talk to my best friend about my previous life , I was american, male and died in Vietnam, no real details yet but I knew there was something...
 
Im curious to find out what made you start to believe in reincarnation, and when ect ? :)

I was a catholic untill about 2years ago when I read Newtons work and started looking in to other sources. I am 21 years old now and only in the past few years I started to question christianity and other religions. Personally, I think reincarnation makes the most sense and I see more evidence for it than any other beliefs. I find it so annoying that a lot of people think reincarnation is nonsense. I have tried to have friendly debates with people about what happens to our soul after we die and as soon as I say 'reincarnation' they look at me as if I am stupid :( lol
I was also raised the catholic way but growing up had some problems with the beliefs due to losing my grandmother at a young age. While these days I will not knock down the catholic way I was brought up there are still a couple of things that kind of annoy me about christianity one of them being that they either don't believe in magic or think it's evil when I have always had a bizzare interest in magic. I started believing in reincarnation as a possibility when I first learned about the belief in middle school. The thought of meeting the reincarnation of my grandma interest me and to this day If she has reincarnated into this timeline I would like to meet her reincarnation. I started to get more serious about my belief in reincarnation as I entered high school and started getting into wicca, which also believes in reincarnation.
 
I had to have been a very young child but old enough that I was in elementary school. Probably second or third grade, maybe? It was way too long ago for me to remember what exactly it was we were talking about but my mom said something about me dying from OD'ing on my asthma medicine, I think, and me having to learn from that experience. I then said something along the lines of, "I thought when you died you don't ever come back?" Then my mom said something like, "You'll come back. You just won't come back as [my name] again."

From then on I was intrigued by the idea of dying, then coming back reborn in a new body. Just didn't know the word "reincarnation" was the term for it.
