Personally, i don't believe in reincarnation. I think it is just a poetic representation of our collective memory. Besides, if it is true, what are then the chances of our soul being unique if we are the reincarnation of so and so?

I believe in it. I don't really know why. It's just something I learned about as a child and it was really interesting to me.

Reincarnation is too bad to be true...

I try to keep an open mind therefore I don't believe or disbelieve. No one knows for sure although there have been reports of children with very strong memories of having lived another life. I think it makes sense that we should live and live again since the laws of the universe say energy is neither lost nor gained. If our spirit or soul is energy which can not be supported by the body we inhabit, then that energy has to go somewhere and it is anyone's guess where that is.

I do not believe in reincarnation because I believe in God and the Holy Bible as the Word of God. There is no reincarnation in the Holy Bible and I thank God very much that there is no reincarnation because I'm so afraid to become an animal and I might be eaten. If there's is reincarnation, judgment is perhaps impossible because judgment is based on the things that have been done while in the flesh and so which will be judged - the first or the second. I really do not believe in reincarnation.

Reincarnation in what form? Animal? WOman? Man? Truth is stranger than fiction, but i sure don't want to be a baked young pig on a stone oven. That's not what I envision myself to be. I just want to be a wandering soul who never needs a ticket to go on a trip around the world and swim to the white and clean beaches of coral reefs and sharks.
