An unbiased look into reincarnation.
It is my intent to look into the topic of reincarnation in an unbiased and open way. You are welcome to present your thoughts on the topic. I want to keep religious dogma out of this discussion. You are encouraged to present your religious interpretation of why reincarnation is valid or not but I believe that no one person can possibly have all of the "truth" and therefore please don't claim that you have some exclusive insight into this area. This is just a way to present all sides to the agrument that man is an eternal soul and one aspect of being an eternal soul is the ability and the need to reincarnate on a regular basis. I look forward to a lively and thought provoking discussion.

So I have a few people that I like to discuss this topic with and inevitably they will quiz me on how this could possibly wash with the teachings in the Holy Bible. I have thought about the verse that many people like to bring up Hebrews9:27"It is appointed unto man to die once and after that the judgement". This verse is referring to the man and not the man's soul
ReplyDeleteI've seen sites that can quote the bible and the very words of jesus to support reincarnation. If I can find it again, I'll share the URL with you.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why we can't take lessons with us from one life to another. I would imagine learning would be much accelerated by allowing even a portion of wisdom to continue on. The only reason I could think of why not to allow it would to facilitate karmic lessons that would otherwise be easily avoided. But in the larger sense, that seems counterproductive. It would point to whatever deity exists as being sadistic.
Deities spoken of by NDE'ers are however non-judgemental and seem somewhat removed from our emotional reactions to such questions.
The main concept in my understanding of reincarnation has to do with the idea that as men we are out of our real body which remains in the etherial world or the "true" world.
ReplyDeleteWe come and go from different life times accumulating experience and lessons attainable only through the incarnation experience. As we learn more lesons we start a progress of our etheric body to become more and more "perfect" or in line with the perfect creator.
Reincarnation is not a religious practice but a reflection of a system that appears to be out there and is evidenced through studying the afterlife and between life experiences of thousands of people who have undergone medical hypnosis. This was all dicsocered by accident 40 years ago by Dr. Micheal Newton--Life between Life Institute.
Here's that study that cites the bible as supporting reincarnation...

My understanding of reincarnation has enebled me to see religion for what it really is and that is simply man's coping mechanism for dealing in the etherical and unknown. Religion and the Bible are only relavent to this earth realm and man body with it's limited capacity for understanding.
ReplyDeleteReincarnation does not get much credibility due to the fact that people's image or thought of reincarnation has to do with returning to earth as a fucking butterfly or some other lower species. That idea as coming back as an insect or animal turns people away from the real concept of reincarnation. And plus, religion doesn't mention it so it must be bull. Personally, I believe that reincarnation is the most logical explanation for the soul-body connection. To have only one life makes no sense to me at all, as far as your soul is concerned. How unfair would it be for "God" to create some people with crappy circumstances and others born into lavish lifestyles. And with only one life how well can we really grow spiritually? Some may learn a lot in one lifetime, others get caught in their stubborn ways and never change a single idea. I feel like the same way "we live and we learn" or "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" concepts can be applied to our spiritual side as well. We learn through trial and error to become better physical selves, so why wouldn't the soul need some progression as well. Even nature recycles its lives, such as trees dying to be reborn, or water falling as a drop only to be evaporated and rejoin the collective water supply and then fall again as a single raindrop. I'm just saying logically it makes sense.
ReplyDeleteBSJ nailed it in that "Logically it only makes sense". Reincarnation is a highly sensical idea unlike religious teachings where you must apply much immagination and contrived theories to make sense of it. Then you must go in blindly on faith only to possibly be condemned to hell for not getting it 100% right. Reincarnation is simplicity and fair for all.
