Today I approached a subject that fascinates me: reincarnation. No photo, no cryptocurrency. A rather controversial topic. Is there reincarnation? Of course we can not say for sure, but we can not deny certain arguments that support this theory. Hinduism and Buddhism are the two religions in which the idea of reincarnation is the most important. The concept of reincarnation gives hope to many people. If we do not do the right thing in this life, we still have a chance in a later life.
However, even those who believe in reincarnation admit that the vast majority of people do not remember their previous lives. Then how can we learn from past mistakes if we can not remember them? It seems that just to be able to have a genuine and unique experience we must look at the past. Use is another law of the universe. It must exist so that man can annihilate karma. Do you think if you knew you were getting married to your other life killer, would you? Can you accept that your sister is the person who destroyed your life and killed you? We seem to be making the same mistakes again and again. The choices of this life will be intuitive. Until we learn our lesson, we will not be able to move on.
Also, reincarnation claims to provide justice. According to the karma law (an impersonal and inflexible law of the universe), in every life we get what we deserve. Our good deeds attract good results after them, and our evil deeds attract bad results from one life to another. We each carry karma from one life to another
What would be the arguments in favor of the existence of reincarnation?
Hypnotic regression
Discussed in the eyes of many, hypnotic regression is perhaps the most popular proof of reincarnation. As you can see from his name, in this controversial technique, subjects are hypnotized and led in the past through their present lives in childhood, and still in the pre-natal period. Once "come" there, they are asked to describe what they are experiencing. In this state of hypnotic trance, subjects often manage to accurately report personal details of what their past lives are supposed to be, details such as geographical location, occupation, relatives' names and other relevant historical and cultural relevant details .
Although in many of these cases the subjects provide multiple and consistent information that they apparently should not have known, no such situation has been accepted as an indisputable proof of reincarnation, as errors always slip through correct accounts, errors likely to cast a shadow of doubt on the whole matter.
Also, many of those who have had a hypnotic regression are described living in Egypt or Rome. Many of these people describe kings, queens or important people. But normal people, have existed in previous lives? What is real and how is imagination in hypnotic regression?
Memories of past lives
There have been various studies in the world on this aspect. During these investigations, the specialists studied thousands of children aged four to ten years, finding that in many cases the little ones remembered their identities in past lives, as well as details of the historical and geographical context of the invoked periods, details of relatives from past families, as well as details on the moment of death. Interesting in all these memories is that "patients" have not been hypnotized or "regressed" in any way to access latent memories, but have exhibited from very young age perfectly knowledgeable, spontaneous, information of past lives. Some of these children fluently spoke the language of the place where they claimed to have lived. I mention that some of the children spoke French or Italian, although they were born in the UK. Beyond these facts, the dialect or accent was unknown at the time.
While all these accounts and tendencies tend to become unclear and even disappear with the years, they remain among the best evidence in support of the idea of reincarnation. A fairly famous case is the child of Taranjit Singh (Alluna Miana, India). From the age of two, he claims that his real name is Satnam Singh and was born in another village, 60 kilometers away.
He claims to have been a 9th grade student and his other father called Jeet Singh. One day, when he returned from school, he was injured and died on September 10, 1992. Taranjit says he has a lot of blood on his books and he has 30 rupees in his wallet. So insistently the child was with this story that his father started to look for whether this really happened.
So he came to a professor who confirmed the story and linked him to the dead student's family. They also confirmed the details of Taranjit's cupping of books and money. When the baby showed pictures of the dead family, he correctly identified each one.
Curiosity pushed them further and Taranjit's parents came to investigator Vikram Raj Chauchan. He took a notebook and one of the deceased to compare his writing. Surprisingly, Chauchan found that the two types of writing were almost identical, despite the fact that Taranjit had just learned to write. As you can see, it is difficult to fight this case. And in the world, there are hundreds of such cases. What do you think? Believe in reincarnation?

Dying and living is nothing more than to sleep and awake, we constantly change or body when we realize that something has changed the experience of continuity is simply an idea created by the thoughts you identify your self with. Thees thoughts are the only mortal part of our wast consciousness, which is eternal. Making reincarnation a guarantee unless your experience is complete :)

I don't think we really need to worry about reincarnation. I think it's likely real, but I'm not sure how our consciousness works, like how are we in this body right now, and if we die is there a timeframe for how long we stay "dead" before reincarnation or are we simply outside of time with the potential to reincarnate anywhere in the timeline?
I think most people wonder about reincarnation because of the fear of death or the fear that we don't get a second shot at life, but better to turn things around here and now than to keep worrying and wondering in my opinion.
Also, have you read Many Lives, Many Masters? My girlfriend was reading it while we drove to the eclipse this summer and this post reminded me of it. Interesting stuff.

Of course, I do not worry if reincarnation is real or not. Reincarnation could explain many injustices and inequities on Earth. Time does not exist beyond. But to speak in the earthly terms, it may take a few hours to recharge or may take decades. Time seems to be beyond our spiritual development. The more a soul is older and more experienced, it evolved implicitly, the less you descend here on Earth. I have not read Many Lives, Many Masters. I read a lot of other books on this topic. Nothing happens at random! That's what I learned.

Hmmm, very well put, as far as earthly life a system of reincarnation would make sense, basically teaching us the "rules," like what you put out you get back.
Do you have any thoughts about what our time on earth is meant for, what we are supposed to be learning? And I agree, nothing happens randomly, yet there is still spontaneity of events, nothing ever repeats, it doesn't feel planned. Life is beautiful.
Nice post btw.

Life is beautiful! As for time, I talked with many people about the time here. Everyone's perception is that time is running faster after the age of 40. So you live every day as if it were the last one. Of course, we must not exceed certain limits. ;-)

Ha-ha-ha! If that's what the inner voice says. Each has a soul and a certain level of spiritual development. Depending on this, we also perceive reincarnation.

I used to ignore the idea of reincarnation. But I believe the dahli lama has the same ability we all do. To remember our past lifes. I think some people like the Lama do remember and use it to great advantage. So for good. Some for bad. Egyptians would embalm a body for 70 days so the pharaoh may be reborn. I believe there are secret societies and families that know the art of reincarnation and how to remember and direct where their energy will go. Great post, I love thinking about it and I agree with the proofs you provided.

Hi @mihaisyblu, nice and interesting topic. As attractive as reincarnation is, personally I don't beleive in it. I beleive that we have one limited life with a purpose - if we had an infinite amount of time or an infinite number of lives, no one would ever really strive to achieve anything.
I've actually posted a very similar topic a couple of days ago, it's about human life value, I would love to hear your opinion about it if that seems interesting to you.
Cheers!

Great to read people talking about this subject with such open-mindedness. If you realize that you are a spiritual being who is here to learn, I think reincarnation is an obvious offshoot from that; as one life isnt nearly enough time to evolve our consciousness. I think that we don't remember our past lives, simply because its of no value to. its the lessons that we learn that are the important thing, and they stay with us at the root of our being whether we remember the specifics or not. Like a long forgotten childhood trauma can still affect us now even if we a re not consciously aware of it.

Excellent article! I come from a Christian background also and did not believe in reincarnation. However the evidence is overwhelming. I also found that reincarnation is actually taught in the bible too.
With the work of Dr. Ian Stephenson, he did the thousands of scientific studies of the little children you speak of. Also the work of Dr Micheal Newton among others there is no denying reincarnation IMO.
Couple that with the fact that it makes many things in the Scriptures that don't seem to make sense make perfect sense. At the same time it shows the tender mercies of a loving creator who has a plan to save all his children since that is his stated mission 1 Timothy 2:4. Yet many Christians don't think he is capable of carrying out his mission without violating free will even though they believe him to be omnipotent. Figure that one out lol.
People who think that evil spirits planted memories in the children have no basis for this in scripture. In fact little children are not subject to the so called "devils" according to scriptures. For those types there is a devil under every rock it seems.
Also even evil spirits don't know all the details of every life neither could they, they are damned which means their progress is stopped just like a damn is used to stop water from flowing. They are very limited in what they can do. In fact they cannot influence people in the flesh unless one allows it.
Here is a great series of articles that shows reincarnation taught in the bible for those interested. http://www.freeread.com/reincarnation-and-the-bible-part-1/

I know that reincarnation is real since I had a spiritual epiphany about 15 months ago when the spiritual realm made itself known to me.
Everything is energy and energy cannot be destroyed, it can only transform. When we leave our physical body, die, we return to spirit and kinda float around in the ether as a body of energetic consciousness - destined to ultimately reincarnate until our lessons are learnt and we are deemed "Enlightened".
Memories I have held since young have been confirmed as past life memories since my awakening.
That said unless most people have proof I think many remain sceptical. This is a shame as knowing that death is a false construct is, I feel, somehow reassuring.
New here I am an artist/writer/lightworker and most of my work nods to spirituality and my interaction with my spiritual team in the context of life enhancing ideas.

You talk about Karma but many belief systems that talk about reincarnation also talk about dharma. Karma being the path of action and reaction. Karma is the path that we are born into. Dharma is the path of righteousness and allows us to be in line with the most high consciousness to be released from karma at which point there is no further incarnation in this earthly realm.

Great post. I would like to offer a slightly different perspective on the subject.
We, as incarnated beings, view reality from a very physical, linear perspective, based on our five senses. From this perspective, it appears that we may incarnate and die, reincarnate and die, reincarnate again, die again and so on until karma is cleared. Our Soul/Higher Self, exists on a higher level that is beyond space/time or non-linear. The Soul contains all the knowledge and wisdom attained from every incarnation into the physical reality (and beyond physical). From the perspective of our Soul, these incarnations are all happening simultaneously, with each individual incarnation receiving the requisite information for the fulfillment of that incarnation's objectives/lessons/mission. Souls of a certain group may choose to incarnate together in a multitude of mind/body combinations, to assist each other and fulfill whatever objectives a Soul group may hold.
A particular incarnation having a mature spirit ("old soul"), would be a person having an incarnation that possesses the wisdom attained in other incarnations. Tapping into past-life memories would really be, connecting with the Soul/Higher Self and accessing the experiences of other incarnations that happening right now, elsewhere in the timestream.

Fools
You are souls, we do not own souls. But we do own a temporary body, witch we use and identify with in this life. Yes, i do belive in a life after this, in a elevated body, made of new material, but with the same soul that we now are.
I do also agree with you regarding our task of learning, or as I would call it, character development. This is the purpose of life accourding to my understanding.
But there is a great missunderstading flourishing in the world right now and that is the imortality of the soul. Humans can kill the body, but cannot destroy the soul. Be aware that our Creator can destroy both body and soul. This means we shall only fear our Creator and not humans.
The next life will not happen in this world, anyone that have memories of earlier lifes are lying or influenced by fallen, unclean angels/spirits. (Btw, they are very old and have the ability of memorizing exact memory of all historical events and all souls that have ever lived, they also have extended education in the art of deception by their master, the father of lies)
When we die we rest in a sleep-like state. The dead do not know anything. We continue to sleep until the judgement day, first then we will be instantly awakened, given new bobies, transfered to a new world/dimension and then we vill continue our lifes. Character/toughts are the only thing we bring with us. For a 1000 years we will rest and heal in this new world, our work: Judging the angels.
It is my duty to share this knowledge to you, I also were believing lies and deception before the truth was given to me. If you feel desire to learn more, please follow me or contact me.
Btw
As regarding hypnosis and the past life regression technic, it is fully possible that a person subjected to these practices would be fully open and unprotected for the fallen angels to manipulate the persons memory.
Conclusion
The concept of hypnosis can be explained by the concept of fallen, unclean angels that are trying to manipulate mankind into forgetting our true identity and origin.
We are created in the image of God. And we can always ask our creator for guidance.

To call others "Fools" is a harsh judgement. I have come to believe that each of us experiences different versions and variations of spirituality depending on our personal belief system and cultural influences. I have never been hypnotised or been subjected to past life regression and have not been manipulated by the dark. That said the dark does exist! The spirits I communicate with are loving, bright and pure and offer love, guidance and protection. They were all, once, in physical form and existed on our plane and some have the choice to reincarnate if they so desire at a future date. Some of what you write concurs with my own understanding some of it leaves me cold. The dead are not dead and as energy are fully conscious. With love xox

I do not try to be negative just for the sake of being negative, but there is a spiritual war ongoing and we humans are mearly the battlefield. Once upon a time in history there were a rebellion and the rebelious angels/spirits ware cast down to earth and here they spread deception and lies.
The problem is that one of the most common technic they use is to totally turn things upside/down. The true becomes false and the good turns to evil. That is what is so dangerous in listening to spirits
This verse from the Bible describes the condition in the world
Revalations 18:2
"And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird."
I do not do this with purpose of hurting anyone, but if anyone of you find any logical thinking out of my post I do encourige you to further search for the truth.
If you do not belive me, ask yourself. Do you have feeling of hatred when you read my posts? I love you and the only reason i give you this attention is that I want you to be saved

I respect your beliefs although they, on balance, have no resonance with me. I am not religious and follow no doctrine. I concur there is an ongoing hidden war between light and dark in our world where the elite are eager to enslave the common man for profit and gain. That is why initatives such as the blockchain are so very important - to decentralize control and facilitate the liberation of the individual. I wish you well xox
