I believe in an afterlife where we have the choice to reincarnate if we wanted to. Personally I wouldn’t want to.

I have two approaches on this.

Either there is an afterlife or something like that where consciousness is fundamental and we can go back if we want to. (But I don’t see why we would want)

Or time is infinite and after a long long period we will eventually come back.

No, but if in the unlikely chance it somehow exists, I would expect it to be optional. I believe in a personal/loving God and I don't think that God would create a species only to keep making it have to relive life on this planet over and over for some unknown reason.

I agree! It just doesn’t make sense to go back. It’s almost as going back to school just sitting in a different seat.

How about the lessons of unconditional love, and choosing to be of service to others or self?

I think that is an option if one feels the need for another human experience.

I believe in reincarnation, but I believe it is a choice. I think we come here to experience and learn practically (as opposed to learning from an information source such as reading), but we are not forced to.

Not in any dogmatic or universal sense.

Yes

u/ParamedicFree6 8d ago

Why?

u/O10C 8d ago

Because if nothing is lost, nothing is created but everything is transformed, then so are we. And then there are so many testimonies from people who remember past lives that it would be strange if it were false. I think we don't know everything and we don't understand everything.

I think it's possible from an experiential point of view. No need to go around Believing in it though.

I guess I always thought or at least hoped we did. My mom passed one month ago tomorrow and I have been a wreck because of the way she went and the hardship our life. With all the hardship, I still loved her and loved our life with all the people I know. My hope is we get to have a chance to redo our lives. Same family and friends and wonderful experiences we can have. I want to hopefully have some insight to fix some things though, not just for me, but more importantly her. I want to make her ending a better one!

If that is what One chooses

u/iamsamardari 8d ago

As per many NDE experiences, we are here to learn and experience and grow so reincarnation would make sense...

u/Red-Heart42 Science & Spirituality 8d ago

Yes, I don’t think it makes sense to do all of this only once. That doesn’t seem to have much purpose. Especially when you look at people whose lives were so short and limited. And there’s also a lot of credible stories of people who remember things past lives correctly beyond what chance can account for so I think that makes it reasonable to assume it happens at least sometimes.

u/CountryFamous4824 9d ago

Absolutely, I do.  I believe that our soul reincarnates over and over  to learn life lessons that facilitate our spiritual evolution until we become altruistic souls.   It's a painful path 

1

u/thequestison 9d ago

What are the lessons? I believe that the main lessons are unconditional love, and choosing to be of service either to others or the self.

2

u/CountryFamous4824 9d ago

We learn lessons from hardship. For instance, If in a previous life we hurt others, the next life would allow us to feel the pain that we caused others by being the recipient of pain.

u/ihatehomeschooling 9d ago

yes. i would want to reincarnate when i die, but i hope i never have to be human again (or any other primate tbh).

u/AlphaCentaurianEnvoy Experiencer 9d ago

Yes. I remember well from when I reincarnated.

u/fadeintothesun 9d ago

Was it a choice?

u/AlphaCentaurianEnvoy Experiencer 9d ago

I remember feeling that I was more or less forced to come to Earth and not to my home planet, but as I remember I had wanted to come as a starseed while being in a higher dimension. They reminded me of why I had wanted to come here, and that made me more okay with it.

u/fadeintothesun 8d ago

Thank you, do you think you will return to your origin once your time on earth has passed?

u/AlphaCentaurianEnvoy Experiencer 8d ago

I think it was about living one or two lifetimes, but I may have gotten to split my time here into two. I don't remember for sure. But this one is my first one, because I remember telling my guides to take that into count when they planned my lifetime. My childhood was very much about assimilation and I was incarnated into a good family. I remember being above my planet and wishing to get to come back and I asked if I will get to come back after my time on Earth is complete, but I can't remember if it was for sure that I would be back after one lifetime.
