Reincarnation doesn't require it for a satisfactory and provable explanation of observed events: simple physics does nicely.
The god did this and that stuff are relics from ages where knowledge of physics and other science disciplines was lacking, limited, or unthought of as yet.

There is another theory in reincarnation that says that all living things have a soul and spirit. Who says that you have to come back as a human being? What good would past memories of being an astrophysicist be if you wound up in the body of a praying mantis? Just an observation.
Who says that intelligence and species has anything to do with the process of reincarnation? Perhaps a soul and/or spirit must assume the body of all forms of life to become 'perfected'.

I suppose that is a possibility. As if every life is a higher watermark.
Very nice.
In a scenario like this, then reincarnation is a goal seeking process, and has a direction.
This implies that there is perfected granularity in the human species, and we are really not all equal in spiritual ability.
I like that as well.
Nice synopsis.

I can appreciate where you are coming from. We all have our own perspectives and each of us will indeed look at something that is the same thing, differently.
It is my opinion that everything ( reincarnation included) does require a singularity that indeed creates.
Physics is one of my favorite subjects because it explains to me another aspect and or angle of God.
As you experience life you may one day see a requirement for God. Ya never know.

I'd like you to think about a piece from Matrix Revolutions: Neo: I just have never... Rama-Kandra: ...heard a program speak of love? Neo: It's a... human emotion. Rama-Kandra: No, it is a word. What matters is the connection the word implies. I see that you are in love. Can you tell me what you would give to hold on to that connection? Neo: Anything. Rama-Kandra: Then perhaps the reason you're here is not so different from the reason I'm here. Dew you understand the Connection the werd Love implies, the Connection to Source? I know you dew but you are overlooking sumthing.

Well there are looooads of stories of people remembering bits and bobs in flashes and has actually helped to solve unknown parts in history.
Maybe the transfer of a soul may block it or something?

Why do you want me to think of this movie?
Sure, Love is a word, however it is also an emotion one sense's on an intense level. They are indeed connected and frankly the movie (never seen it) did not show me that.....just something I feel to be true.
Also, to go further, I happen to think of the Word being Jesus. I am definitely not over looking that fact as it stands within my own perception of not only the Word, but also the feeling it brings.
I am that, that I am....and what I am is a creation with my own individual soul, personality, and emotions. Back home I feel what you feel and sense that in which you are.....your person is clear to me and the feeling is love and its base is from the Word of God. The Word was manifested into Jesus. Does this make sense to you? I hope so because it is hard to describe in words.
We are all (living things) connected and I see you believe everything is the ONE and we are all ONE, however I have been down that road and have pondered that idea but I do not "feel" it to be true. I don't think it really matters one way or another. We are loved never the less.
There are some who believe we are God, however I am not one of them. If this is your belief...that is cool with me as it does not hurt me in any way. We all find our way and yours is as good as mine.
In regards to the other poster who says we may indeed come back as an animal. I too have pondered that thought, however I do not think I have ever been an animal. As a creation who was created to lead over the animals and to til up soil and produce others like me...in my image.... this is who I am.....from the greatest of I am whereas being made in His image.
That is not to say I may indeed be an animal in another life, I just do not think so. Because I think this way....does not mean I am right though.

You are kNot I am! Read these two posts: www.abovetopsecret.com... www.abovetopsecret.com... As to Love being an Emotion, kNOw it's kNot! Love just IS! (see post above) As to Jesus, for you to believe He ever walked this Earth, means the Matrix has you! But that's kNot to mean "His" werds in the bible are wrong, although there are misinterpretations/mistranslations: John 14:6 - Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. "How I am is eYe." - Old Toad Proverb The teachings of Jesus in the bible clearly show He was kNot about Me, but rather, all about WE! Here's the correct translation: “How I am is the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through how I am (my actions)."

I believe in Jesus, and I would say, how can one not.. given the position he has attained over the last 2k years of what we know about our past history. I do not know his true nature, as no one really does until we leave this planet, however the words he left, and the deeds attested to him are truly rooted in the sustainment of our species.
With what is going on presently in our world, the PTB do not entertain those principles, and we are left with the same scenarios that have erased civilizations over other civiliizatons.... and now we know from scientific investigations that this has gone on longer than we ever contemplated. The latest being a revelation that puts intelligent human habitation and cities back 20k years. How many of those civilizations had an entity like Jesus. , well we will probably never know, but I think that happened as well. The earth is way too changeable for us to rely on physical evidence for anything.edit on 19-10-2011 by charlyv because: spelling , where caught

HAHA! I like your confidence, however I disagree with your theory. I even like your theory....it just doesn't ring true to me on my journey of truth. It doesn't fit in with what I have come to know thus far. It seems as though it is hard for you to accept someone thinks differently, but do not let a difference hinder your feelings for another, nor push a belief on someone as to form a cult .....like religion. We all have to find our way as ...guess.. what....we ....are different. This is a fact one cannot deny.
Again, here are my thoughts on the subject:
Because I believe Jesus walked the earth (many times) does not mean the "matrix has me".
His Word's in the Bible are more than words, my friend. I have studied and researched the man and I think I know Him quite well. The Word is Life. God is Love. I am that, that I am.
I happen to agree that Jesus was all about We, but do not mistake that to mean it is WE in the afterlife and not you and me. God made you different than I. You are not God, and neither am I. We are a part of God.
No one entity will get through to the Light without literally going through Jesus, himself first. This is a symbolic and literal message. Believe that no religion will get you through....only your intent of Love for others and yourself will get you to and through the Light/Love of Jesus.
Jesus reincarnated to this Earth more than once and to think otherwise you are missing some clear points that add to the wonders of this illusion of reality in this realm of space and time.
In order to make the Universe and everything in it balance WE as a collective must learn to love others while incarnated without animosity toward a difference in the other. Jesus taught this and the message was the way to Peace on Earth....that is the Goal. This Planet vibrates on a lower level and it is up to US to work together, no matter a difference, to insure Peace on Earth comes this way. We are here to love and raise its (Earth) vibration to a higher level as the Earth does indeed evolve.
Everything made by God grows and blossoms by means of the purest Love , and mind you....one would not even be able to bear said love if confronted with. As everything grows closer to Love it evolves into blossoms of the highest Love. With each incarnation I am that, that I am however, I am and will always be evolving into the purest of Love within the spectrum of light that gives life.
Back home We are connected in a much 'higher sense/vibration" whereas we communicate via thoughts, therefore the connection we posses there is faster, yet it "time" much much slower. The energies that is within this Universe and beyond is not hardly fathomable to the human mind. As we age, we become conformed to a society that sees a difference in our fellow man...war begins. This is the world we live in but this is not the world we should accept. It starts with me and you and the message we share.
I believe....you believe...we believe.....and what we believe may indeed be the Truth as no one human will have the ultimate truth. Collectively WE can.
It takes every drop of water to create a massive ocean. Each drop of water is special in their own way and so are you.

It is very complex, however there is actually a mechanics to it, from birth to death you live out all your lives up until the current life, that occupies the outer casing of your accumulated self.
Its kind of like a record that becomes increacingly complex over time.
If you want to remember, you thus have to look into the present moment, and what you are doing is linked to what you were doing in more ways than you can imagine.edit on 11-11-2011 by SystemResistor because: (no reason given)
