I'd say more of a fast-forward.

Not surprising. The chances of you coming back as an invertebrate again must be the appeal.

Sadly, you don't get to choose what you come back as. Katie, with your karma I think a housecat is WAY above your next life. Probably more like a dung beetle, or something like that.

I'd like to think of it more as a repeat button, while the weilder actually thinks its more of a fastforward button.

Nah, I don't buy into reincarnation. It seems to be such a wimpy alternative to hellfire and damnation.

Though it would be somewhat frustrating if the participants were forced to repeat the same set of circumstances over and over until they got them right... wait, that's just about every video game I've touched in the past 10 years.

Heathens! In my day, reincarnation was a breakfast strudel! We didn't have any of these schmancy-pants definitions for our beloved words.

If you are reincarnated with no memories, different parents, and in an entirely different life, are you really you? It's easy to say we're reincarnated if we can't remember anything from previously lives.

So yes I believe in reincarnation! hopefully in my next life I'll be born into one of those rich families where the children never work a day in their lives..yeah this is sounding good already.

Assuming reincarnation exists and there are a set amount of peeps living all the lives around here. And if being reincarnated places you in seperate time periods, would that mean that there really is only a small base of true people who reincarnation started with [and will end with]?

Taking into account the ever increasing population on the planet, one could deduce that there was a point where spirits began to incarnate on Earth and that there was a limit to their numbers. As the population increases one may believe that at some point, all of he spirits that ever will reincarnate, will be all on the Earth..

It may be that this is impossible and that catastrophy and war will keep this from happaning.

Or it may be that somhow that finite number of spirits will eventually "evolve" and ascend to an existence that is free from the bounds of Physical existance.... Celistine Prophecy typ shtuff.... energy and the like... as according to our perceptions..


Of course, if one were to speculate on the existance of some 'class' of spirits that follow these certain guidelines.. then waht would stop one from speclating in other spirits that are seperate from this Human destiny? In this respect, angels, devils, faeries, dragons, all take on the reasonable possiblilty for existing.
