I do think that reincarnation is true.Why.because when my daughter was 3 years old,we were driving along a road.we were stuck intravic,this old lady was walking along on the sidewalk.When out of the blue,My daughter said,mummy do you see the lady walking near our can,My wife yes.My daughter said she was my mother one time.Also I knew a man whos daughter died about 35 years ago of cancer.She was only 23.Her name was beverly.Over the Years,beverly used to come to my mind.I asked my wife what she thought of this.Than one night,I was asleep,and I heard a male voice say beverly.I said what about her.Than I saw a profile of a young girl I know,whos name is melissa.When I talked to melissa about beverly.She told me when she was 23,it was the worst year of her life.doctors could ran tests,but could find nothing that was causing her pain.After that year,she told me she was fine.Beverly body is in a cemmtory in our town.Thats why I believe in reincarnation.Love George

Reincarnation is an interesting topic, not accepted by most Judeo-Christian Theologians but accepted more readily by those in Eastern faiths. 

The answer might be more in the middle.  SOME may reincarnate, but not necessarily everyone.  This is actually speculated on my some Christian theologians as well, though certainly in the minority (I believe Thomas Aquinas was one such).   

As I believe nothing is impossible for the Creator, I believe that it is possible for someone to be granted reincarnation for some purpose, but I do not believe that every single person is made to do so. 

Like Juditha, I'm not too keen about coming back over and over again.  I'd rather become an angel and help out from the spirit side....

NeverSayDie said: I do think we need to be careful when applying fixed and unalterable rules to these things. Since the reality of the spirit world is one that is projected from our own minds and in interaction with others, we are dealing with many possibilities. It all depends on each souls unique situation. Because while we are part of a oneness that is god, we also have our individual spiritual paths.

very astute comment. my opinion from intuition and from reading much on the subject is that the overview is incredible from the other side. we see much more possibilities and game plans, etc. when on this level of communion you might call it. communion with beings who have had more or different experiences than ourselves. they do make recommendations for this or that experience to gain, however coercement is an unknown over there and the choice remains in he who has the vision and the will. yet if reincarnation is a non/linear happenstance you can see why Recoverer is getting away from the traditional reincarnation concept and so am I trying to grasp how it works for the common man or woman, although I wholeheartedly agree that exceptions exist for every rule and if it did not, this would be a boring type prison planet which it is not boring, nor a prison for me, yet I understand some will say this and feel it as they meet their challenges.
if u subscribe to "we are all one" then its easier to deal with the thought that there are many of me. I just haven't met them all yet. then if u take it further, all the ones who are one with me are living a life of their own perhaps in 1810 or maybe I'm a caveman somewhere learning how to make fire.
while we're here we deal with a repeat performance of the rising sun which governs our clocks. its one day at a time sweet Jesus. we have no language for what is eternity and cannot be measured. we may get a new language someday..which will allow us to communicate what has never been said before.
by that time, maybe we'll all have hydrogen powered cars and even little spaceships which drive themselves..see, no matter what I must resort to linear time. I do believe though, that the future dimensions are already up and running. and we will do time travels through our minds.
anybody want to come back to a future like that?    I might, don't know, nobody's asked me yet! I'd want to be with loved ones or I wouldn't want to come back.

I do subscribe to our oneness but didn't always. retrievals caused me to merge into those I retrieved, sensing our oneness. I have a little story about meeting what Iwant to call a disc member, but for the moment he was my other half, a male half. one day my whole family was running amuck; nobody took responsibility for anything happening and self disapline was certainly not operating. my suggestions how to improve our chances of surviving all in the same house were not taken kindly and so I began to think maybe they were right. I began to think my family were all like children who would not listen to me. I set an intention to see if something was missing inside of me and if I could change myself, not them, perhaps that would be the answer? a wonderful obe situation developed from this thought. it demonstrated the oneness concept me.
I knew guidance was there, although invisible I received instructions. I found myself in someone's house. in the hallway. a full length mirror appeared. a gentle voice said stare into the mirror. I looked and did not see my reflection as I expected. instead a man walked nonchalantly towards me. I felt something intensely familiar about him and knew he loved me as he loved himself.  I knew positively we were one. I also knew my despondancy and despair had brought me to him. he smiled as he strode up. Hi, I said, I'm feeling down, can u help? I asked. nobody listens to me, I don't think they love me. my other half led me to a table and we chatted about our unique style of child rearing, why it worked. we talked a long while it seemed and he convinced me I had not failed my family in my expression to them, that they had needed me, as the opposite viewpoint is always needed to learn by. came back to the body and knew everything I had said or done was how it was supposed to have been said and done. they did love me, they just had not learned to express that love yet.
I got the feeling, but not absolutely sure, this other half, this man is alive physically and it wasn't romantic, unless u can concieve of making love with yourself! ha ha!
and I did get the feeling that this was like a gift meeting, and it was because I needed his input right then. I didn't know I'd missed him until I saw him. it was that kind of surprise reunion meeting. like, omygod, it's you! I know you!

so we forget whom we've known. we forget we are one.  for a reason because we want to live here, or we did at one time and when all is well, we want to live here.   

-Truly disturbing implications here...

I hope in my heart that we don't have to reincarnate anymore, that way spirits don't have to experience the harshness of the physical World over and over and over again, before they can finally abide in the glory of the spirit World for the rest of eternity.
******************
-The physical world is only harsh, to the extent that you are poorly
constructed mentally and physically. For normally healthy people
(in free societies!) it's a BLAST! I know this, because even though
my "kit and caboodle" isn't ideal, it's had its good times nonetheless.
I only regret that I couldn't have had it the way an IDEALLY CONSTRUCTED MAN has it. I'll regret it forever, if I don't get that
experience. Also...
How do you know the "spirit world" is glorious? What if the ancients were
right - you just stumble dazedly through a cold, grey wasteland for the rest of eternity? - i.e. Sheol (Hebrews), Hades (Greeks) Hel (Norse), Nergal (Sumerians), Mictlan (Aztecs.)
I'd rather reincarnate than endure THAT outcome! (How about you?)

Here's another way to think of it.  A person lives a tough life in the physical World. After dying the spirit of this person ends up earthbound for a while. Eventually this spirit crosses over but ends up in a hell like realm for a while. Eventually, after who knows how long, this spirit becomes tired of the hell like realm, decides to fess up to the mistakes it made, resolves its issues, and then rejoins its home in the spirit World. What happens then? It's told: "Nice job. You finally made it here. You ready to reincarnate so you can do it all over again?

-Sounds COOL to me! A second chance at being:
-Rich! (I can't over-emphasize this one.) Or at least AMBITIOUS
enough to get rich if I want. (As it is, I have some serious motivational
and work-inertia problems.)
-Physical and Mental perfection...
-A super-athlete...
-A super-stud with the ladies...
-A Bad-Ass who NOBODY gets dares mess with...
And last but not least, 20/20 VISION (and not the f***ed
nearsightness I've lived with (and thoroughly detested)
since I was 10 years old. I'm looking at Lasik again, now
that the results have become more reliable, I might try it.
But I'm 37 y/o, and the good part of my life is over. So
I NEED a second chance.)
I might be done with C1 (maybe) after I have a SUCCESSFUL life in C1.
But if there's no reincarnation, I seriously risk going out a LOSER
and staying that same loser, FOREVER. (Unless cryonics works, and I
plan on buying a contract in the not-too-distant future in any case...)
Maybe we don't all get the same thing, but what we WANT! That'd be cool. You can stay in the "afterlife", and I'll keep on comning back here. (I wonder if Universal Reality is a democracy? Now THAT I might be able to get behind, as they say...)

Chumley:

Certainly spirits can continue to learn, grow and change when they move on to the spirit World. I would hardly call heaven a stagnant place. If someday you find heaven to be a boring and unpleasant place, perhaps they'll make an exception for you. They just don't sit on clouds all day you know.

Newbie 38:

Relating to the below, I received two visual messages from my guidance while meditating one day. I was meditating with the intent of finding out how reincarnation works. First I was shown a man who was pulling really hard on a rope that was attached to a huge tent that was enclosed within a smaller tent. I didn't quite understand what this meant.

A little later on I shown a large tent like room (hard to describe) that was occupied by many people who represented various parts of oneself. Suddenly a man popped/walked out of this room of selfs as just oneself.  The other selves that were within the room remained there and continued with their activities.

The first vision gave me the feeling that no way will an incarnating self represent a soul's entire self, because there would be too much experience and knowledge to bring into a new incarnation.

The second vision gave me the feeling that no way are previous selfs/incarnations stored away as nothing more than mere memories, because each of these selves are considered to be too important.

Later that night, after I went to sleep, I woke up in the middle of a night and heard an inner voice say, "every form counts."  With this message came the feeling that every self that is created is considered to be too precious to be treated as nothing more than a computer program that gets reorganized and restored according to need.

Therefore, I get what you're saying below.

Dear newbie 38:


I had once asked to come into contact with my guides (which I rarely do ). One guide stands out in particular. She is gentle, with an accent (maybe british?) and she is almost like Mary Poppins ( a little bit proper). Anyhow, I had asked my guides a similiar question as the question you had posed:  "Thinking of reincarnation in this kind of context, if we are required to accept amnesia before returning, aren't we starting over from scratch every time?"  I had asked my guides why I didn't remember anything (out of frustration) and what was the point in that? Shortly afterwards, for the first time I received an awnser from a distinct voice that surely was not mine (for once!). The voice said "What kind of a test would it be if you knew all of the awnsers?" (said in british accent). So simple yet true, how could I argue?

I beleive that each time we reincarnate our soul wisens up abit, so that even if we do experience amnesia, we are still likely to make better choices the next time around due to a (hopefully) more evolved soul. If we didn't learn much in the incarnation prior to the following, then we run the risk of repeating lessons (but even that is not set in stone).

Take care............Baby_Duck
