reincarnation? Do you think it's possible? If so how do you think it works? There are a lot of documented cases on it so can you easily refute it? Just looking for opinions here.

I believe reincarnation makes more sense than 1 life here on 1 measly planet to sort things all out! To me that would not make sense.
Kazillion of universes and planets, yet only one physical lie to live in it all! This banana needs more than 1 life to sort it all out. I need more planets to explore, more universes and galaxies. I feel I have lived many lives before because I am so in tuned to things bigsmile But, I only actually recall one.sad2

I agree with that, but what if we don't get this life right? Do we get another shot at it in another life? Yeah i know i ask the unanswerable...sorry bout it.

When the teacher is ready, the student will ask the answerable question.

In order to learn how to ask the answerables, one must first learn how to ask the unanswerables.

To a new born baby all questions are answerable... on the other hand, very smart old men and women, like Socrates and Golda Meir, know that no question is answerable. Most of us live our lives somewhere in between; that is, with a number of questions, which we consider answerable or not, and in almost different ratios by each individual.

If all you do is ask unanswerables... don't misconstrue that the teacher is giving you the "silent treatment".

The answer to your question "what if don't get this life right?" is "there is no right or wrong way to do life." You do what you can, even if you feel you are not. (I.e. you think you are capable of more.)

You live right by rejecting the notion of right and wrong. This helped me through a lot of hard times, when self-blame was almost inevitable, although this line of reasoning did not convince the jury.

You live life right if you complete it to the finish line. A lot of lifers will agree with you, but not all the lifers... to make it clearer: we are all, each and every one of us, a lifer, not only a liver. That is, we complete our life, and then we don't continue even a minute after that. In this sense nobody ever even gets early parole.

What other BS can I serve up now on a silver plitter-platter.


One piece of advice: do not feed the animal. A little, or any amount of encouragement anyone throws my way, and I lose my head and I go into a frenzy of trying to please that person by giving them more of what they expressed they like about me.

The soul is immortal if you believe, and that gives you time to explore creation as much as you want.

Once our earthly bodies go, that is it as far as I am concerned.

I dont have an opinion. It is not specifically something I learned about in formal education or church. I can see it being possible along the lines that we are all given purpose and if we dont achive the purpose in this life perhaps we are allowed another physical package in which to try to complete it.

I think we are all spirits breathed into physical bodies. Our DNA decides our physical appearance, but our spirit operates on a free will that can determine the non physical. Because I can see us as spirits in 'physical packages', I can believe it possible that people may sometimes be permitted to have more than one package during their spirit existence.

I dont think it HIGHLY LIKELY, but I dont disregard the possibility either.

MsHarmony, either you're becoming cautious for sociable reasons, or we on the forums have made some headway with you into enlarging your horizons.

"It is always for the intellectually gifted that is the hardest to keep his blind faith in the doctrines of the Church and in Jesus the Christ, our Lord and Saviour."

I never considered my faith blind, I base it on things that are very logical to me,,,
