recycling


In case I haven't mentioned it, I'm a skeptic about anything I can't detect or identify with my five senses, and sometimes I even doubt the evidence they provide. Why then am I so interested in the paranormal? I've been trying to figure that out most of my life, and have finally concluded the reason is that I want to know, and hopefully have proven, that there is something beyond our *normal* perception that would finally furnish us with the answers to questions like,"Why am I here? What is my purpose? Where do I go when I leave here, if anywhere?" and other random musings. Like, is reincarnation an actuality, and if so, how can it be so? And if we do reincarnate, how will we know we have? Silly things like that.
But what if it isn't silly at all? Knowing that everything in the physical universe is somehow transmuted and recycled--things may change, but are never lost--why shouldn't this be true of the spiritual side of things as well? Skeptic or not, I do believe in the soul, individual to each of us although originating from one creative source, and I wonder. Does it retain its individuality after departing from outworn earthly bonds? And if it does, where then does it go, and what does it do? Questions, questions!
A possible answer, theorized across the centuries, is that the soul "rests" for awhile, pondering its sojourn on Earth and digesting the lessons it has learned during that time, then chooses its next adventure into physical embodiment with a whole new set of lessons. Hindu philosophy teaches that the soul must progress upward in each successive embodiment, evolving to the point where it has become purified enough to rejoin the Source; but, as you might imagine, this could take a long time and many lives.
What about the accounts we read of people who remember some of their past lives and offer seemingly irrefutable evidence of the truth of them? Can we believe them? Or would we rather have an experience of our own, something closer to home that might convince us that we've done it before, so we can surely do it again? Would it be nice to know that after we leave this life we'll have a chance to try it again, with maybe a little more insight? Sure it would.
You could go for hypnotic regression. Seems to work for some, but there's still no certainty that the subconscious isn't just being creative so as to insure a good time is had by all.
Now, look at what other readers have contributed about the subject.
