Reincarnation

[Maj.Nick Danger]

The idea of recycling souls is interesting ad there is a funny movie "Defending Your Life" that has some great detail about the 'in between time' where the court decides if you need to go back to get it right so you can then advance on to the next stage.

I don't believe in it myself.

Another good movie on the subject is "The Adding Machine"
I don't quite believe in reincarnation either, it's just a vague possibility to me. [huh]

Made in Heaven is another one. Very strange movie though.

Whenever the subject of reincarnation comes up I think of this poem by Wallace McRae.

Reincarnation

"What does Reincarnation mean?"
A cowpoke asked his friend.
His pal replied, "It happens when
Yer life has reached its end.
They comb yer hair, and warsh yer neck,
And clean yer fingernails,
And lay you in a padded box
Away from life's travails."

"The box and you goes in a hole,
That's been dug into the ground.
Reincarnation starts in when
Yore planted 'neath a mound.
Them clods melt down, just like yer box,
And you who is inside.
And then yore just beginnin' on
Yer transformation ride."

"In a while, the grass'll grow
Upon yer rendered mound.
Till some day on yer moldered grave
A lonely flower is found.
And say a hoss should wander by
And graze upon this flower
That once wuz you, but now's become
Yer vegetative bower."

"The posy that the hoss done ate
Up, with his other feed,
Makes bone, and fat, and muscle
Essential to the steed,
But some is left that he can't use
And so it passes through,
And finally lays upon the ground
This thing, that once wuz you."

"Then say, by chance, I wanders by
And sees this upon the ground,
And I ponders, and I wonders at,
This object that I found.
I thinks of reincarnation,
Of life and death, and such,
And come away concludin': 'Slim,
You ain't changed, all that much.'"
-Wallace McRae

George Harrison's beliefs about reincarnation are the lyrics to his song, 'The Art Of Dying'.

[The Lonely Navigator]

As a hypnotherapist working with age regression I regularly have clients who spontaneously go into a past life. It just happens sometimes, regardless of their religions or belief systems. Clients who don't believe in past lives sometimes end up in a past life during regression just the same. Sometimes they give me information they could not possibly have known from this live and which can be verified. So, yes, my work made me a believer. There are much stranger things happening in my work than just past lives. For my work it doesn't matter if past lives are real or just metaphors created by the subconscious. It doesn't matter if I or the client believe in past lives. As long as we work through it properly the client gets the healing. But by now I have seen so much evidence that I became a believer.

Anybody who is interested in serious scientific research regarding past lives ought to check out the works of Prof. Ian Stevenson.

Your post reminded me of this film:

RAY STANTZ: (muses) You know, Peter, this could be a past life experience intruding on the present.

IGON SPENGLER: Or even a race memory, stored in the collective unconscious. And I wouldn't rule out clairvoyance or telepathic contact either.
