Can someone explain to me about reincarnation?
i saw a documentary once on reincarnation, and it stuck with me for the longest time. a baby girl, when she was about two, and could speak, kept telling her parents that she was this guy's name (let's say "peter", i don't remember the name of the guy). the parents thought she were making up names and thought she was funny. she then told her parents she was killed in an accident when his bike got hit by a car. she also said she used to live in this small village in india (she's an indian) which people barely know the name of. she also said she sold this incense for a living. that incense had been discontinued for some time by the time she was born. the parents were so confused so they sought some help and found some researchers/scientists/documentary people to help them. they had to locate the small village and travelled there. because the village was so small, they found the family with the last name that she kept mentioning her name was. turned out that peter was killed in a car crash while he was riding a bike, and peter's brother rushed to the hospital with him. the birthmark on the girl matched the wounds on peter's body. the family used to sell that type of incense that was discountinued, and she could name the names of peter's relatives when she saw "reunited" with them. i've read that the bible talked about reincarnation but was taken out by the pope (a long time ago) because of political reasons. after a person dies, the spirit goes into purgatory and gets judged. you will then see a flashback of your life and get a sort of "sentence" based on your past actions. you could be in "hell" to serve your sentence for however many years or you could be rewarded. after that period you will disappear and find yourself in your next mother's womb, also depending on how you've lived your past life. so you could reincarnate into different life forms, the type of family you will be born into (rich or poor). i think reincarnation makes more sense, because.. why are some people born rich and some born in poverty? if god were fair and just he would make everyone equal. why was paris hilton born with a silver spoon in her mouth, while some other kind, nice girl born in a dump in a third world country and is abused by her father? i'd say it's because of how you acted in your past life and you are getting what you did unto others.
Can you explain reincarnation?
According to Shreemad Bhagwat Geeta “Dehinosminyatha …dehantarprapti …(chapter 2:13)”.As the embodied soul waxes from childhood to youth, then wanes to old age, and assumes one new body after another, wise men are not prey to infatuation. At some a man is a boy and than he grows into a young man. But does he die by this ? Then he grows old. The Self is ever the same ; only the condition of the physical body in which he resides goes on changing. There is no crack in him when he changes over to a new body. This change from one physical body to another will contineu until the Soul is united with the Supreme spirit who alone is beyond all change.'vasansi jirnani yatha vihaya …’ (chapter 2:22).‘Like a man who puts on new garments after discarding his worn out clothes, the imbodied Self, also ,casts of tattered bodies and transmigrates into other bodies that are new.’ The Soul rejects bodies that have been ravaged by old age or some other disease and dresses himself in new apparel just as a man throws away old, torn clothes and puts on new clothes. But if a new clothing is needed only when the fabric of old clothes is weakened , why do young children die?These “garments”have yet to grow and evolve. It was said a little earlier that the body rests on SANSKAR, the impressions from action attained in the course of a previous existence. When the store of sanskar is depleted, the Self discards the body. If the sanskar is of two days' duration only, the body will be on the brink of death on the second day itself. Beyond sanskar there is not even a single breath of life; sanskar is the body and the Self assumes a new body according to his sanskar.According to the Chandogya Upanishad,“ A man is primarily his will. As is his will in this life, so does he become when he departs from it.” It is the firmness of his will in one life that determines what a man will be in the next. Man is thus born in bodies that are shaped by his own will. So death is a mere physical change : the Self does not die.For more clarification and detail read ‘Yatharth Geeta' written by Swami Adgadanand Ji Maharaj.eBook is available on Yatharth GeetaOr download YATHARTH GEETA APPBook is awarded by World Religious Parliament .
How can Christians explain the phenomenon of reincarnation as evinced by stories told by two and three-year-old children?
We have all had lives on earth before. Not as who we are now but as entirely different characters. It's still us though.. Like an actor taking on many roles.When we are very young, we have few fears or beliefs about “what is real” so what we see and hear is real.. Until we are told otherwise. Young children are very openThe less inner fears we have, the less belief restrictions we have, the easier it is to connect to our Higher consciousness (higher self). Through this we can be shown a Previous life and give a very accurate account of it that can be verified in most cases. Memories and access to them Fade as beliefs and doubts and logic start to evade their thinking.Why does it happen to some and not others? A little bit like all spiritual or psychic talents and unusual abilities…it makes us and others face our fears and open our minds to the possibility that there is more to our life, our world than what we sense with our 5 senses.Anomalies that create a crack in the physical world and shout “Really? Is that what you think and believe, well how do you explain this then? “We all have a higher self…we can all connect.. We just have to Want to.
How do the people that believe in reincarnation explain the people who had a real near death experience? How do you explain how they were met by their loved ones who passed 50 years before they were born, and told they have to go back?
How do the phases of the moon change? Why does the sun rise in the east and set in the west?(c) Can Stock Photo / Nikki24Reincarnation is an ancient concept that has been a part of most religions at one time or another. Typically people who question reincarnation and thus Past Life Regression have a problem because of their belief system. Usually a belief system that comes from western religion.Is religion bad? No it is not bad, though just like some may doubt reincarnation unless they have something more than stories they are told by others, perhaps some people need to look for validation when it comes to other beliefs as well.Now some may be thinking they know how I’d answer the question, is there a God? Of course there is a God, though some people prefer to use another word, higher power, source or creator are all words for the same thing.Back on topic, Reincarnation and Near Death Experiences (NDE). If the soul of a deceased relative is there, that means that a part of them survived the death experience. It does not prove or discount the concept of reincarnation. The person asking the question seems to be implying that if they died 50 years ago why have they not reincarnated yet.Ah, the reincarnation cycle, how long do we spend in the spirit world before we return to another life? That varies from life to life, there is no set length of time that we spend reviewing the most recent life and preparing for the next one. There are other things we do during our Life Between Lives.I did actually have one client earlier this year who discovered that she came back into her current life the same day she died in her most recent life. In my experience that is very quick! And it is rare as well. Even 5–10 years is rather quick, though not totally out of the question.I’d say about 50 years is more of a typical minimum in most cases, though it’s impossible to provide exact numbers. Some wait 100 year, I had a few people who waited 1800–2500 years to reincarnate.So just because it’s been 50 years and deceased loved ones are still around in spirit, that does not mean reincarnation is invalid.
How does reincarnation explain population growth?
transmigration is not limited to humans alone. As I understand the belief, it is possible to reincarnate as an animal or an insect. It is also possible to reincarnate as a being on another planet. Thus, no new souls need exist for the bodies to be filled. As humans increase, other life forms decrease to compensate.
How does the biocentrism theory help explain reincarnation?
Biocentrism argues that a universal consciousness predates the physical universe. Individualized consciousness (ego)are derived from this consciousness. At death these egos return to their source yet retain their individuality. As individual units, if they want to reincarnate they should be free to do that provided the animal is intelligent enough to transmit their intelligence.
Explain Reincarnation and homosexuality?? A person I know believes that the reason someone is a homosexual?
I've had that theory for the past two years I'm coming to believe it's very possible Within Buddhism it is believed the Eighth Consciousness is the part that goes on to rebirth and within there is an impression or a seed if you will of every experience we have ever had not only in this life cycle but from all of them Therefore if a person led the last life cycle as what could be termed a mans man but their Karma dictated the next life cycle will be Female there could be this carryover this strong impression from the previous life and the opposite of that if the last life cycle the person lived female and the next rebirth is male Edit This theory isn't restricted to a persons sexuality How many times do you see a person of one culture and for no apparent reason having a strong attachment to another This can reflect in how they furnish their home how they dress even what food they like
