Reincarnation??

Not saying this is true, but an interesting theory on an interesting topic.

If reincarnation is true, I've learned nothing from my prior lives.

This case always got to me…..I think reincarnation is quite likely, personally.

Because we're peasants.
Some say knowledge can be passed on if you know how.
Just download consciousness from one body and upload into another.
Crazy, ehh?

You come back as in insect. There are trillions of them. So when you swat that fly, you could be killing your ex wife that died a few years ago. Or a peasant. (dead ex wife true for me)

That fly then reincarnates as a vampire bat, or someone's annoying brother in law, or a salmon swimming upstream in the Columbia river....and the process continues.

Ricky Gervais has a bit where he talks about a group that is known for celebrating reincarnation and the members actually know who they were in their previous life (and the members all happen to have been someone famous). The group has a get-together party and a come-as-you-were dress up to come in costume of the figure you were in your previous life.

Two Napoleons showed up.

If reincarnation really is a thing, I wouldn't mind coming back as someone's well-cared-for house pet. I know that my dog sure has a pretty sweet, care-free life...he eats quality food, has a nice cozy place to sleep, his needs are all provided for, and he gets all the love & attention any critter could want.

I do believe in reincarnation. I think we can live on spiritually in others lives, the people we impacted in life. I think our souls can live on in others.

I don't think reincarnation is legit since there is an eternity in Heaven or Hell. There is no getting out of Hell and no one would want to leave Heaven.

If only I could remember where I hid the gold, just before they hung me.

I believe in the guy in the big flowing white robes that lives in the sky, with a son that looks like the lead singer in a grunge band..and he says reincarnation is unreal.

Not sure I believe.
But if you are a meat puppet over an emf field, and energy can't be destroyed, where does your energy go?
Where does a newborn get its energy from?
I can't say.
Can you?
