cosmic joke
Honorable
Concept of which, be it practical or theoretical, has been around since the earliest of times. Thoughts?
One can not learn all one needs to in a single life alone...nor in a 100.
I started off making a reply here and then I thought of Dundee and decided nah... no way....
I remembered a time years ago when there was a discussion about life after death and rebirth and I posted my somewhat nihilistic type reply as being one possible alternative and Dundee was dismayed and I think I depressed him... real bad... and I thought... nah...
So in conclusion, I have no idea if reincarnation is true or not or has any merit.... I was never subjected to, as in not bought up in any of the mainstream religious beliefs other than with my parent's Ancestral Spirit ways which does not involve reincarnation, rebirth as a carnate body... (decades ago my family immigrated to Australia with the status as war affected refugees, displaced persons, from northern eurasia and their spiritual beliefs stem from there)....
I've made 70 odd posts here in this forum and rare these days I ever talk about or mention aliens and chances of me doing so are rather remote as things stand at the moment.... in fact, I got rather aliened out years ago....sorry nivek. should keep in the spirit of this whole site theme, that being 'alien expanse'. how many times have aliens reincarnated to become who they are. perhaps they are us once we've become accomplished enough to leave the confines of 'life on earth' and they come back to remind us of this.
That's right, it was a Life after Death thread and I posted about my lucid and profound out of body experience I had... I haven't given much thought to it for years but now that I have, I can still see and feel it all as if it was only a few moments ago it happened... I will, I will get around to it...Naa all good Merle, post away, my only dilemma back then was how you could have had the experience you had, and not been an utter convert after it.

According to your beliefs in that you state that reincarnation is fact, then I would think that one good thing about this day and age is that at least you'll have plenty of choices on which body to occupy for your next reincarnation...The purpose of life is dependent upon how much you've learned and understand, which enables you to pick your life, if you're aware enough to do that when your soul/consciousness departs the body.
No one comes back as a lower form of life. That would be contradictory to the very purpose of reincarnation. One could momentarily possess the body of a lower life form.morning. thank you for your thoughts.
always found, and still find, this idea, and the belief of it intriguing. even more so after i read a book written by the russian mathematician Pyotr Uspensky entitled 'the strange life of ivan osokin'. not quite reincarnation per se but rather having the opportunity to live your life over again. oddly enough, so this story goes, even though ivan osokin knows what events will reoccur, all over again, he can't change a thing.
this got me thinking. we've all experienced 'deja vu' or otherwise had experiences with 'how is it possible i know this or that'. so it seems to me that even if reincarnation is indeed the road to develop ones soul and refine ones vibrating spirit 'coming back again' doesn't guarantee this happening. life could simply repeat itself 'just like before'. of course with little snippets of 'haphazard rememberings'.
was thinking the other day. if i indeed was reborn into another form, in order to carry-on with the above aforementioned refinements and with the same consciousness i have today, and i came back as say a cat, it would be terrible. like oh no! eh.
me as i am in the body of a cat. oh what to learn this time around. actually, the shock of it may be just the impetus needed.
anyway. reincarnation as a concept, whether true or false, is interesting indeed. and really, how many chances (times around) do we get to get it. perhaps in fact only one time.
