Reincarnation

[linda allen]

I was a female in my previous life. I was a nice looking girl with long dark hair and a nice figure. I was nineteen years old when I died in Germany at the start of World War II. Then I was reborn a male in the USA.

Of course my scientific brain tells me that when you die, you are dead and stay dead, but the reincarnation dream came to me 30-40 years ago and I've remembered it ever since.

In my next life, I want to return as a nice looking girl with long dark hair and a nice figure. :heehee:

Of course I want to live longer than last time.

[Cynthia Anne]

Linda that is an interesting dream! My doctor said a women had my soul in a previous life and wants it back! I hope she gets it! I guess that means I was reincarnated also! Hugs!

[Daphne Renee]

I have bizzare dreams often. If there is such a thing as reincarnation .. In my next life I think I might like to be a blonde with a nice figure. They say blondes have more fun. I want to see if they are right.. :)

[Karinsamatha]

There are many times that I have felt deep down in my bones that I belong in a different time, place, and gender. I have a deep affinity for the 40's and 50's.
I am curious as to how many others have similar feelings.

Becoming a blonde is easy. Bottle or beauty shop.

Becoming a woman is much more difficult. :heehee:

[Mary Morgan]

While I have no sense of a prior life, my late wife told me many times that she was an old soul, that she had been here before and that she believed that we continue to return until we get it right. She told me that one had to live a life as a woman before there was even a chance of getting it right and, that she believed that I would certainly be a woman in my next life as I almost made it this time. I love the idea of that. In any case, I must admit that woman have mastered parts of the human condition that men can only hope to achieve, and I am hopeful.

[Lauren B]

My belief, for what it's worth, is that the soul seeks out human experience from all different perspectives- socioeconomic status, gender, race, sexuality, all sorts of different personality traits, having certain strengths and weaknesses, etc. The soul will take on whatever characteristics it needs to work on what it needs to work on, and do it as often as necessary until it masters whatever it is that it's focusing on.

To the best of my knowledge, the overwhelming majority of my most "recent" past lives have been as male (save two), and I truly believe that my being TG is me tiring of it and wanting to go back to my soul's female gender preference.

[Persephone]

Sorry to hear about your premature passing last time, Linda.

I have always had memories of two past lives. One was as a woman in Spain around a hundred years ago. Don't have much, just bits and pieces.

Hugs,
Persephone.

[anonymousinmaryland]

I really don't know if it's going to happen, but I've always said "I want to come back as a 34B!"

[Loni]

one can be "reborn"....but never reborn.

one time is all we get.

[Rianna Humble]

If I come back, I'll probably be reincarnated as a lamppost used by the royal corgis :heehee:

[dawnmarrie1961]

In my next like I'd like to come back as something more useful to the overall scheme of the universe than a human being. I'd like to come back as a dungbeatle. At least then I'd have some use for all the shit that life throws at me.

[NicoleScott]

I don't believe in reincarnation, but I did in a previous life.

[Mary Morgan]

I don't believe in reincarnation, but I did in a previous life.

Now Nicole, I've told you a thousand times not to exaggerate!

[Kate Simmons]

In whatever cycle we are operating in, the male and female principles and aspects seek to complement and reinforce one another.:)

[Frédérique]

I'd like to come back as a dungbeatle.

Which one – John, Paul, George, or Ringo? :idontknow:

I used to be a stick insect in 16th century Malaysia – to this day I see the world with compound eyes, change color to match my surroundings, and, of course, Twiggy is my role model…
:doh:

[dutch-anita]

what if you come back as a muslim girl.... in a black f****g burka... (that's not a LBD) LOL would you still be happy as a girl (me, I don't think so) how about you?

[Anna B]

A burka...that would be torture...

Almost girlie, but not quite.

[Stephanie Miller]

I would like to believe. I really, really would. But I have a hard time comprehending why. Not, why would I like to believe - but why is our only option to come back and be stuck here to re-live a life on THIS planet as I know it. Why not somewhere else and maybe as something else? Something somewhere more advanced maybe?
Just to put my thought into perspective, go outside tonight and look at the sky. How far can you see. You really can't see diddly ( a technical term :D ) as far as REAL distance is concerned. We can't even see outside our own Milky Way. We don't even know what (if any or how many) life forms exist IN the Milky Way, let alone how many "earths" are beyond. And beyond is a long, long way.
Just think... An international team of astronomers in 2004 discovered a galaxy 13 billion (yes, Billion) light-years away. That's a lot of room for "earths" to hide in. Our Solar System is thought to be 4.5 billion years old and humans have existed as a genus for only a few million years. With what we have learned in just the last 100 years makes me wonder what other "earths" have come up with that have had longer. Maybe that sex change machine or time machine is already out there. So why come back here?
So, yes I believe we will be reincarnated. And maybe yes, my only choice will be here. If so.. I've had my taste of freedom, so I would choose a free country. Yes, female. Yes, nice looking, intelligent and healthy. Don't need to be beautiful... too much pressure.
But, I really do believe there is truly so much more to learn........out there.
Beam me up Scotty!

That would be a problem.

I think it's so easy for us to forget how good we have it. I don't know anyone here personally, but I can assume that we are all living in a civilized country with relative freedom, we are educated enough to read and write, and we have the resources to use a computer and the Internet. A large portion of the world's population is not so fortunate.

From time to time we have the "female for a day" posts or "would you switch to being female if you could?"

I think we all answer from our perspective of being female, forgetting that we might not be that cute, curvy, well to do female that we imagine. Would I switch for a day and be in my position and my body but with female characteristics and parts? Yes. Would I switch if I would be in Iran or an African jungle? Nope.

Saw a newshow recently on reincarnation, and one guy said "how come when people say they're reincarnated they're always are some exotic person, when they have the biggest chance of being a chinese peasant?" :)

[Iskandra]

Reincarnation?! been there, done that... pfft.. Didn't even give me a cute tshirt..
But yes, apparantly there are more people alive today than ever have died.. So the chinese peasant is more likely than the 15 ppl claiming to have been matta hari! (that was me btw) :heehee:

Yes i do think reincarnation isn't restricted to this planet, but crosses all lifebearing planets in the universe.. In a way it explains the excentric, autistic, and the 'insane'.. A soul not of this world they cope as best they can..

Oh and whats wrong with a burka? You could be wearing anything underneath.. Heck it's one way to pass! (tongue firmly in cheek) :battingeyelashes:

I..

[Jessica86]

Don't know about the whole reincarnation deal, but I have often wondered what I will be like when I get to heaven. Will I be a female or male angel? May sound weird, but I've seen things as a child I can't explain. I'll just leave it at that.

[Iskandra]

Seeing all archangels are male (going by name) you'd need balls to climb the 'corporate' ladder.. lol
Personally i think of angels as androgenous beings.. Labels of sex and gender are a human invention...

I..

Don't those stick insects usually tear the male apart after mating? Humans do that too do some degree as indicated by high divrce rates. Wives slowly ,but surely, tear their spouse to peices over the years leaving very little left that is distinquishable of the males former self. But in my case I pretty much, without her help, did that to myself.

a thought on souls dark matter and the way at huge distances gravity seems to work in reverse
dimension 5 ! and we silly humans never needed to deal with it,it might even be detrimental . so we cant feel it...well 99.99991 % it might be that instant at death some have been hauled back from..?
the gravity and anti mater idea anti mater would have......anti gravity ...and it lives ? far away from everything ...and it would reject light ..bend it around it and be very evenly distributed so light would not be "bothered by it" cant see it cause it wont bounce!
dimensions at the very edge of our scale the scientist have big trouble withe fine edges at 10 x 23 power well who says that our dimensions are not a ND function of light ?

as anything reaches a speed of light all other dimensions have to be striped away. sounds like a simple formula to me! a 2 nd function I say because the 5Th dimension must be where it starts from. that would be where souls go shopping from.
there put that in your pipe and smoke it ! HEHEEHEHE

exhausting a purple haze right now!

I dreamt once that I was a sickly teenage girl in a rural area of Canada, perhaps in the early 1800's.

Now I worry next I will have a nightmare that I will be coming back as a fat, ugly low class broad with a cranky attitude and a bad mouth.

Hey, somebody has to do it! :heehee:

I dreamt that I was a butterfly.. or was it the other way around??!

I like that!! Aside from being humorous, it does make me think.

[Amanda22]

At one point much earlier in life, I accepted the fundamental Christian belief system. I came to a point where it just didn't make logical sense so I happily abandoned that. Reincarnation isn't logical to me either, but that's just me. Perhaps I rely on logic too much? I figure I have a logical brain for a purpose, so it's OK to attempt a rational approach to searching for truth. I do agree that the vastness of the universe presents the possibility for life in lots of places. Stephen Hawking recently said, "I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail. There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark." I must say that the thought of utter nothingness at the time of physical death is hard to comprehend and therefore scary.

[Fractured]

I admit to be a bit of a disbeliever in past lives (or at least the impact they play in our current life). Assuming that reincarnation exists, I would expect the practicality of being reborn would be spiritual growth and learning (at least that seems to be the leanings of most religious adherents). Yet the fact that only a small minority of the world's population claims to have a past life and can recall the events of that life seems to argue against learning and growth. How can you learn and grow if you can't remember your mistakes? Most people state that more is learned from mistakes and failures than from successes yet being unable to recall those failures seems contrarian to the learning process. Reincarnation without the stated purpose of growth seems rather arbitrary and nonsensical (which would make it perfectly plausible to exist since much of the world appears to be arbitrary and nonsensical).

Yea Amanda....they had Stephen Hawking on as well. The thought of utter nothingness is a bit scary for sure! Somethingness is MUCH better! lol
