I understand some things and I don't understand many things but I generally don't believe in anything without evidence or reason. Also, I am not religious and do not pray.

Probably, the only difference is, I have witnessed some happenings in my life that have compelled me to shed my impregnable armor of skepticism and open my mind to understand things that are beyond the purview of science. This world needs to work on them to bring them into the domain of science.

As far as reincarnation is concerned, this is not a belief prevailing only in India or oriental countries. Pythagoras was a firm believer of reincarnation as he experienced it in his life. If you google BBC programs on reincarnation, you will watch on Youtube a number of BBC shows where researchers actually are shown talking to children giving proof of their previous lives.

It seems to have started in India and spread throughout gradually. Pythagoras or Jesus I don't care, back then we were a less intelligent species so more likely to fall for stories of Noah and the whale more likely to assume things and try to put 2 and 2 together as opposed to the might of study and experimentation of today that yields answers. I did not watch programs or read stories to "open my mind" because watching and listening other peoples convincing lies are too easy, testing things for yourself is the only true way to believe. Just because Steven Hawking publishes in tomorrows papers that he has a theory of reincarnation it will only remain a theory until we can put it to test and achieve results near 100% of the time. It makes more sense to live life like its your last than abuse the one you have because some 80 year old tells you he thinks that there is the slimmest of chances that you might yet roam the earth for a second or millionth time. I would like to take this opportunity to ask if you could be reincarnated into ANY other animal besides human what would it be?

Researchers have not come across a case by which compelling evidence could point out reincarnation into an animal or vice versa. So, I really do not know if I could be reincarnated into an animal.

Some children remember their previous birth and as soon as they start talking they talk about it. Gradually, they forget and get on with the present life. Look up one of the classic case in the US where a child knew everything about an aircraft and always wanted to play with toy planes. He also said he was bombed by the Japs in 2nd world war. He could say the type of plane he used to fly at the age of 5.

Now, I don't blindly believe such things but I have read books on reincarnation that forced me to keep my mind open for it. Maybe or may not be.

Tell me, we have not seen The Big Bang, nor quarks, nor dark matter or dark energy, nor black holes etc. but we don't set them aside as crap. Maybe some day someone will provide evidence that dark matter actually exists or time travel is actually possible through a worm hole !!

Keeping an open eye doesn't mean that we are not living our lives fully. I practice homeopathy but I don't know how it works...but it works for sure, I can bet my life on it. Similarly, astrology works as I know how to read a horoscope...I don't know how planets affect our thoughts but they really do...I can bet my life on it. I have seen terrible things happening in my life that an astrologer had predicted many years back.

One thing I have learnt from my life till now is that we are not so smart as we think. This universe is far more subtle than the smallest particle of matter scientists have found out till now.

People are reactionary. They have paradigms and they stick to them as long as they don't have a personal experience of something they don't believe in. And I am not trying to make you believe that there is something in some children that makes them talk about unknown and unlearned things. If you think its not reincarnation, then you should give another explanation.

If you are serious to learn unexplained phenomena of nature, you have to keep your minds open to accept information. Later, you can decide if it had any truth in it.

There are numerous books and websites on reincarnation including videos of real time investigations by BBC. If you think these are all made up for money, I rest my case.

My only potential theory would be the fact that I have heard that even as a developing unborn child, they are still learning, hearing and such and somewhere along the way they get these "flashbacks" of things that could have actually been something off a program that was being watched whilst in the womb. Sounds completely made up but its the closest thing I have to someone being born with premature knowing of things.



I assume most things are money motivated or publicity motivated (for money). What I will agree is that I am "reactionary" and have "paradigms" that I stick too. Dunno what you mean by these words and today I just can't be bothered to ask google lol

How will you explain the facts that children say to their parents about another city or state and take names of family members in their previous lives? Many of these have been verified and found to be true. If you are interested, you may read a book written by Dr. Ian Stevenson - Twenty Cases Suggestive of Reincarnation. If this book creates some interest in you on the subject, you can follow it up with his other books.

As I have said earlier, Dr. Ian Stevenson has selected 20 cases out of some 2500 cases he has investigated on children. These 20 cases have been thoroughly investigated against fowl play or money interest by children's families. The book was published with peer reviews.

It seems Reincarnation explains phenomena like Homosexuality, Birth Marks, Unusual Phobias in children, Exceptional Talents in people and some other attributes that science hasn't yet explained.

So, what's your understanding on Reincarnation? Why do we come to life again and again?

bible says he did...

Really? I thought it said he resurrected?
