how do some people have so much conviction that reincarnation is real?  we don't really know what's the end of the tunnel, and if such a thing is possible.

 

sperm and eggs meet up and then a person is born.  how can that person be an ancient spirit from an earlier time with an clear and empty slate?

 

if such a thing is possible, how do we know when the old spirits attaches to that new physical person? or maybe, a new spirit is born if there was no process of ritual to begin with to call back a soul into the container?

 

we are given options like reincarnation, an afterlife at some place, or completely nothing and randomness...

 

how does a person go about finding the right paths and the true® colors.   which perspective must he take to find something he will be fully convicted and convinced in?

 

i'll spare you all the websites that i read, but if you do have anything to share, please share.  in some children, before they really mature into their own, some are able to bring up specific details of their past lives of injuries, family conditions, etc etc, etc, and when people would look up those informations, injuries, details, they would find an exact copy who lived that same exact life...  one children would say that in her past life, she was a black woman in the 1930s and died in the 60s, and the child was able to pinpoint specific things that links up to that person exactly.   even when i share this story, i still approach it with a bit of caution that it was just completely random.

 

sit down, bring a potato, and share your opinion on reincarnation.   thank you

reincarnation is fuzzy bunny and there is nothing on the other side of the tunnel. humans dying is just the body reaching a state of maximum entropy

define: spirit

 

Closed systems and "empty slates" only exist in theory.


Pubstomping is a whole different strategic discussion, however, and usually just becomes an exploration of the ethics of dumpstering randos.

our dna contains many different families that are waiting their turn  for instance how come a mans son may look semi asian and hes indian or american? its cause we all came from only so many bloodlines ghengis khan being the biggest and most prominent in dna, that there is a chance your offspring may take after you or your mate, or your dad or your great great grandad so it kinda makes me feel a bit more at ease knowing there is some sort of reincarnation in this way and whos mind is realy that important it MUST be carried into dna/reincarnation also to get that "respawned" feeling. i say if you feel like there will be others like you, then you dont need to worry so much about your own survival because the future people will alwase be able to do things better and deserve for us to stay in the past so they can live for themselves

The consciousness contained within our magnetic fields is energy, and energy cannot be created nor destroyed, therefore our consciousness has to go someplace when we die.

 

Whether that energy changes form and takes up residence in some blades of grass or persists to live on in another human body is another matter entirely.

 

However, I think that the view that there is absolutely nothing after death is a little pessimistic.

If reencarnation exists for human beings then... I'd found that to definitely be some sort of punishment... do you get what my point is here?


.

The difference between theory and practice is smaller in theory than it is in practice.

I will redirect you to here.

 

With some effort, we can turn this world into a human-free paradise in no time!  :smile:

Reincarnation is a bit challenging to deal with, because it is something you can't neither prove, nor invalidate, and you can't yet successfully experiment it on free will. You can have a handful of reincarnation cases, but it doesn't prove anything. Scientifically, in order to prove a theory, you have to show that in any circumstance, it cannot be invalidated. But here, you can still counter arguments against reincarnation with reincarnation. This belongs to philosophy, you can find people who believe in it, or not.

 

There is a quite similar and very interesting video of Vsauce on non-provable yet non-falsifiable theories, about the possibility that the Universe has just been created, you memories included, last Thursday.

 

Food for thought.

i completely agree with the video. 

 

if it can't be proven in a controlled scientific method, it should hold no grain at all in terms of trying to promote it's authenticity or poison.
