people who believe they were around in a past life.

They were always Napoleon or Nero or some great figure from history.
Noone seems to have been a stable boy or a peasant in Mongolia or a revenue commissioner.

Did boring people just die off forever while the successful, swashbuckler pioneering types split into thousands?

I was a stable boy who was used bye the lady of the house in her ever curiosity in kinks and fetishs :cool:I had a good time then i got to old and she used my apprentice and i was cast to the dung heap

There's a lack of reincarnated aborted foetuses around as well.

I've checked.

Mickey Dazzler

I'm am the reincarnation of a dog call scruffy.... who was able to lick his own balls.....and did........often.

Jen Pigs Fly

I am the reincarnation of Jesse Joseph Tafero -who died may 4th 1990 - the day I was born.

A little bit about this man:
was convicted of murder and executed via electric chair in the state of Florida for the murders of Florida Highway Patrol officer Phillip Black and Donald Irwin, a visiting Canadian constable and friend of Black.

Watch your back people :cool:

John Doe1

I am the reincarnation of george hook:)

Shryke

I know a guy that used to be a cabbage.

JupiterKid

I was a female blonde bombshell with super straight very long hair who would have given the Timotei ad girl or Agnetha from ABBA a run for their money before I was brutally assassinated by gunfire from an urban guerrila terrorist group at my wedding in California in 1975.

Then I was born an Irishman - what a fall in status! :-(

ChunkyLover_53

I'm the reincarnation of a Dublin male who 80 years ago hung around public areas making smart comments on peoples appearance, religious values, jobs, race, life choices and misfortunes.

Now in my new life I have After Hours, its so much easier and less dangerous.

Ghandee

I probably sound like a nutter here, but I'm convinced I was here before.

I can't really explain it tbh, and for some reason feel particularly close ties to native Americans, and Australian aborigines.

Whenever I watch documentaries on either, I get quite nostalgic, and a sense of closeness, like I belong with them.

Like I said though, I probably sound mental here, but its a genuine feeling.

I get that watching porn.

Reincarnation does not at all mean that a human being who expires (that's Indian for "kicks the bucket") will be re-born as another human. It's possible for a king to come back as a rat, or a mosquito as an eagle, or ---;)

I recently saw a documentary about a catastrophic decline in the world's vulture population. It seems they are on the verge of extinction in many parts of the world.:D

Anyone wondered why all the thousands and thousands of vultures that are dying are not coming back as vultures?

Then I look at the creatures who inhabit the benches in Dail Eireann and I need wonder no more.:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Their respective cultures are often highly romanticised, its normal to feel like that towards them.

Yeah them Buddhists, megalomaniac looneys the lot of them, should all be locked up.

I'm actually the Dalai Lama myself, taking it handy for a few lifetimes until this whole China thing blows over.

Blondini

I used to be a hyena in a previous life ...
Sure now I'm laughing....

jimthemental

You're born, you live, you die and then you decompose. That's the extent of my religious views anyway. I'd love if I was Sinatra in a past life though, that'd be cool.

The King of Moo

I would consider myself quite skeptical, but I have read of fairly convincing cases of apparent reincarnation. I remember one about some kid in Tibet or Nepal who knew some incredibly detailed information about some regular guy who he couldn't have known about and who'd died around the time he was born.
I can't find a link to the exact case unfortunately.

I'm sure there might have been ways for him to get this information, or for it to all have been a massive coincidence, and if someone more knowledgeable can debunk it I'd be happy to hear about.

I think I might be a little biased towards it as it's an appealing compromise between an eternity of "bliss" in the afterlife and simply ceasing to exist upon death.

I once had a fascinating chat tonight with a man from Spicksworth, he was convinced that in a previous life he'd been Arthur Askey...I pointed out that his and Askey's life had overlapped...And he backed down. :cool:

charlemont

I was a whore in a previous life. I worked my way up to become a madam and they even made a song after me. Moulin rouge.

If reincarnation actually occurs, then there are philosophical issues such as:

Tortoises live to very old ages. Therefore, logically, very few reincarnated people will have been tortoises.

Mayflies breed in vast numbers and live for only one day. Therefore the chances are that the majority of reincarnated people were once mayflies.

The human population has increased exponentially over the last few centuries. Therefore, if reincarnation is the only source of new people then a lot of animal and insect species must have died out to become reincarnated as people. This might explain the demise of the dinosaurs and the extinction of the emu. The dinosaur conjecture does seem to be supported by a review of the current occupants of the Dail.

If ghosts actually exist and are wandering spirits of the dead, what happens if they are reincarnated? Do we now have a ghost and new person who was once them? Is that the explanation for doppelgangers?

Can a bacteria be reincarnated as a human? If so then in due course the planet will be covered in a carpet of people two kilometers deep. Even if only one in a trillion bacteria achieved reincarnation as a human there would still be one human born every ten-millionth of a second, nearly matching the birth rate of China.

What about other living things like trees and vegetables? Can a Brussels sprout be reincarnated as a person? If so then, perhaps, that could explain the establishment of the European Commission?

Is it only humans, being the possessors of immortal souls, who can be reincarnated? If that is so then an equal number of people need to die compared with those who are born. So where did the population growth come from? Is this the explanation for all the stories about extraterrestrials? Have they all been secretly coming here and quietly popping their clogs and reincarnating as humans without anyone noticing?

If the Christian faith is to be accepted, then in due course a certain archangel will blow a horn and all the dead will rise and ascend to the arms of The Lord. In that case, if reincarnation actually occurs, The Lord will have to embrace possibly several hundred copies of everyone. Kind of makes modern scientific attempts at cloning somewhat pointless.

Many people have, allegedly, been regressed to a previous life under hypnosis, and have been able to describe accurately their earlier lifestyle and location. However, it does not seem that anyone has ever regressed to the point of when they were a neanderthal. Presumably if they had been they would not be able to describe their past life and location. Therefore, it is logical to assume that reincarnation is only possible if the person who died could converse in a reasonably modern language. Grunts and snorts would not qualify one for reincarnation.

If language is essential for reincarnation, where did the first fluent speakers come from?

Is reincarnation a two-way street, where someone could get another better shot or a worse one depending upon how they lived their previous life? Could someone like Joe Stalin of Adolf Hitler be reincarnated as a cabbage in punishment for their crimes? If so then anyone eating the traditional Irish bacon and cabbage could actually have, unknowingly, eaten Joe or Adolf.

What happens to Moslem martyrs when the go to their heaven and find that the seventy virgins or whatever have all been reincarnated? Do they then spend their time in total boredom watching Sky sports or the Late Late show on a celestial TV until they too are reincarnated? Do they have to be in possession of a TV licence first?

Is there a time delay between death and reincarnation? Does one have to be dead for what? A hundred years? A thousand? If so, what does one do in the meantime? Refer to the above. It has been suggested that one minister Hogan is examining the possibility of TV detector vans in the after world, so perhaps there is an explanation there although why anyone in that Limbo would want to watch RTE is difficult to understand. Desperation measures, one assumes.

Does a dead male become reincarnated as a new male, and a dead female become reincarnated as a new female? If so, why are there more female babies than male? Where do all these new females go to? Moslem heaven? If so, don't they have to die first, in which case they would be promptly reincarnated, so starting the whole cycle over and over again leading to some sort of recirculation mathematics that rapidly sums to infinity.

Perhaps the modern theories of parallel universes is the answer. Perhaps Joe Stalin, the Brussels sprout, the cabbage, and the bacteria all reincarnate into a parallel universe. This would seem possible given the current make-up of the Irish parliament. Such a universe would only briefly impinge upon that occupied by the living, so there is some logic in the theory.

Oh well, I will leave it to greater minds than mine to consider these issues. I long ago concluded that a bottle of Irish whiskey had a way of resolving philosophical questions, and I now propose to address one.:D

ahem, Americans execute the retarded and totally believe in anything science does not. They would love the notion of executing someone twice so maybe watch your back?

I watched this documentary last year.. there are people who are skeptical about this story but it does make you think

I bet you had less time on your hands in a previous existence.

Capt'n Midnight

It's odd isn't it that so few people remember being a child that died before their fifth birthday, of a pretty nasty illness and/or starvation even though that's probably the most likely re-incarnation.
