Reincarnation

In many philosophical and spiritual contexts, speakers who discuss the concept of karma, the cycle of life and death, or the soul's journey often express a belief in reincarnation. For example, individuals from Hindu or Buddhist traditions typically articulate views that support the idea of reincarnating into different forms based on past actions. Additionally, some modern spiritualists and new-age thinkers also promote beliefs in past lives and reincarnation.

Several famous individuals have expressed beliefs in reincarnation, including actress Shirley MacLaine, who has written extensively on the subject in her books. Music legend John Lennon also showed interest in reincarnation, often mentioning the concept in interviews. Additionally, the late physicist Albert Einstein is sometimes cited for his views on the continuity of the soul, which align with reincarnation beliefs. These figures highlight a diverse range of perspectives on the topic across different fields.

The song "A Funky Space Reincarnation" by Marvin Gaye is featured in a Dior commercial, but the vocals in the ad are performed by the artist and singer-songwriter, Saba. The commercial creatively uses Gaye’s classic track to enhance its visuals and themes.

The ancient Greeks, including the Olympians, had varied beliefs about the afterlife, and views on reincarnation were not universally held. Some philosophical schools, particularly the Pythagoreans and later the Platonic tradition, embraced the idea of the soul’s transmigration and reincarnation. However, many Greeks primarily focused on the concept of the afterlife in the realm of Hades rather than reincarnation. Thus, while some individuals may have believed in reincarnation, it was not a predominant belief among all Olympians.

Reincarnation suggests that the soul undergoes multiple lifetimes, each presenting opportunities for growth and learning. Enlightenment, often viewed as a state of profound understanding and liberation from the cycle of rebirth, can be achieved through these experiences. In this context, reincarnation serves as a mechanism for the soul to evolve, gradually moving toward enlightenment by transcending ignorance and attachment. Ultimately, the cycle continues until the individual attains enlightenment, breaking free from the cycle of rebirth.

Sikhs believe in reincarnation, viewing it as part of a continuous cycle of birth, death, and rebirth known as "samsara." They hold that the soul transmigrates based on one's actions (karma) in past lives, and the ultimate goal is to break free from this cycle and achieve union with God (Waheguru). This liberation, called "mukti," is attained through devotion, good deeds, and living a life aligned with the teachings of the Gurus. Sikhism emphasizes the importance of spiritual growth and ethical living to influence one's future rebirths positively.

Reincarnation is a belief found in various religious and philosophical traditions, notably Hinduism and Buddhism, where it is viewed as the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth of the soul. While some individuals claim personal experiences or memories of past lives, empirical evidence for reincarnation remains anecdotal and subjective. For example, the case of James Leininger, a young boy who reportedly recalled details from the life of a World War II fighter pilot, has drawn attention but remains controversial. Ultimately, whether reincarnation is considered myth or reality depends largely on individual belief systems.

Siddhartha Gautama, who became known as the Buddha, had issues with the teachings of reincarnation primarily because they emphasized a cycle of suffering and attachment that he believed could be transcended. He viewed the concept of an eternal self (atman) being reborn as a source of suffering and illusion. Instead, he proposed the idea of anatta, or "no-self," suggesting that clinging to the notion of a permanent identity leads to suffering. His teachings focused on achieving enlightenment and liberation from this cycle rather than merely accepting reincarnation.

Maimonides, the medieval Jewish philosopher, did not endorse the concept of reincarnation. He emphasized the importance of the intellect and the soul's immortality rather than the cyclical nature of life and rebirth. In his writings, he focused on the afterlife and the World to Come, where souls are rewarded or punished based on their earthly actions, rather than suggesting that souls, including those of women, would be reincarnated. His views were more aligned with rationalist interpretations of Judaism, prioritizing ethical living and intellectual pursuit over mystical beliefs.

No, a person is not always reincarnated into a higher form. Reincarnation is often viewed as a cycle influenced by one's actions, karma, and spiritual development; thus, individuals can be reborn into various forms, which may include lower or higher states of existence. The beliefs surrounding reincarnation vary significantly among different cultures and religions, with some suggesting that spiritual evolution is not guaranteed but rather contingent upon the choices made in previous lives. Ultimately, the nature of reincarnation is complex and varies widely in interpretation.

Karma means deed. Your past deeds determine your present and your present deeds determine your future. Some people, particularly Brahmans believe that the reason for some of their sufferings is their sins they have done in the previous life (previous birth). They call it Past Life Karma. This is unacceptable and untrue. Punishments are given to make them realize their mistakes. No one lived a life before they have born. In fact there is no past life (previous birth) and afterlife. Reincarnation is impossible to human beings. How can they repent without knowing what sins they have done in their past life? People suffer only for the sins they have done in their present life. But accidentally if they happen to face any problem without doing sin then there will be compensation in someway. These works are done by the spirits. Spirits determine the destiny of the human beings from their daily activities, talks and thoughts too. All creatures including human beings are ruled by spirits.

Reincarnation is not at all possible. No one lives after death in any form. There are spirits but they are separate elements.

God never bothers whether people believe in him or not. God's direct intervention in individuals' affairs is very rare. God doesn't watch each and every human being at the same time and cannot live with each and everyone to guide them. These works are done by the spirits. God had created different kinds of spirits for various purposes. He had made the spirits to watch, guide and determine the destiny of the human beings from their daily activities, talks and thoughts too. Your past determines your present and your present determines your future. God has given freewill to all creatures including human beings. According to this, all human beings have all right to live a life as they wish. But if it happens to be bad and hurts someone, they have to face the consequences. These consequences are created by spirits. It's a natural system. After death no one lives in any form. Heaven and hell are only for spirits, not for human beings. God is a mystery even to the spirits. Spirits are not eternal beings but their lifetime is long. Spirits are separate elements. A human being during his/her lifetime is living with many spirits which have joined one by one since birth. They are knowledge, skills, feelings, emotions, instincts, interests and everything. Further there will be always some spirits with you on behalf of your parents, friends and relatives. Only these spirits make you remember them in a certain situations. All of these spirits are your consciousnesses and memories. Even thoughts are not your own. For example, when you want to take a decision on a subject, one after another the spirits think and you just listen, choose or reject the ideas which they transmit to your mind through your brain in the form of thoughts. A mind is a group/formation of many spirits which have joined one by one since birth. A mind is just like a computer's mind. After the destruction of a computer completely you will not get its mind. The same is the case with the human beings. A brain is a device used by the spirits to control the body and mind. (A senior spirit or a chief can control other spirits) A human being doesn't have a spiritual body. Soul is an energy needed for the functionality of a body. It is not a spirit or anything else. A body's functionality is based on the auto mechanism. After death all spirits which accompanied a person quit and go to different places searching new bodies. No one lives after death in any form. All human beings are just robots made of flesh and bones and toys of the spirits for their games.

There is no hell or heaven for human beings. They are only for spirits. I guess that the heaven is just the sky and hell is the prison for spirits. Good spirits are free to go anywhere in the sky but bad spirits are put in prison for certain years. I guess that certain evil spirits are destroyed completely. Spirits' lifetime is limited. If what they (spirits) have said is true, they live approximately for 400 to 500 years. This is close to the Indian Hindu's belief that a human being has seven births. That means Hindus believe in reincarnation but I don't.

For a reincarnation to occur, all spirits which lived with a body must possess another person together. Then only he/she can feel the same person who died. But this is not happening because the spirits never stay together to haunt or possess another. They go searching new bodies. Rarely there might have been certain cases but I think they have changed after some time. I mean, they (humans) didn't able to remember anything after certain age. Spirits during their life time live with many bodies (one after another). Their memories sometimes affect the person. This is natural. This is not enough to believe that there is rebirth. No one returns after death. All human beings’ lives end with their own bodies.

Hinduism encompasses beliefs in soulmates, reincarnation, and karma. According to Hindu philosophy, individuals are reborn based on their past actions (karma) and may encounter their soulmates in subsequent lifetimes. If a baby is born in the Purushottam Mahina, considered an auspicious time, it is believed to bring good fortune and spiritual benefits, as this month is seen as particularly sacred in the Hindu calendar.

"Reincarnation: A Demon’s Day Out" could be a game where players control a demon who, after being reincarnated, explores the human world for a day. The gameplay might involve completing quests, interacting with humans, and managing the demon's powers while trying to blend in. Players could unlock new abilities as they experience human emotions and challenges, leading to various endings based on their choices throughout the day. The narrative could blend humor with moral dilemmas, emphasizing the contrast between the demon's past life and its new experiences.

Several religions accept the belief in reincarnation, most notably Hinduism and Buddhism, where it is a central tenet. Jainism also features reincarnation as a fundamental aspect of its beliefs. Additionally, certain sects of Sikhism and various New Age spiritual movements incorporate reincarnation into their ideologies.

No Buddhists believe in reincarnation. Reincarnation requires a soul to pass into the next life, a vital and indispensable aspect of Buddhism is Anatta, or 'no soul'.

Most Buddhists believe in rebirth, that after their death the karma they have accumulated in their life but not paid for will be spent out in another life, like passing a flame from one candle to another; it is not the same flame, nor is it another.

If Morrie were to be reincarnated, he might come back as a gentle tree, providing shade and comfort to those who seek solace beneath his branches. Alternatively, he could be reborn as a wise elder in a close-knit community, sharing his insights and fostering connections among people. Either way, his essence would likely continue to inspire love, compassion, and understanding in those around him.

Reincarnation and karma both stem from Eastern religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism. The idea they have in common is that they both involve the concept of cause and effect. In reincarnation, one's soul is believed to be reborn into a new body based on past actions and karma, which refers to the moral law of cause and effect determining one's destiny based on their actions in this life or previous lives.

Yes, "Reincarnation" is typically capitalized when referring to the belief or concept of an individual's soul being reborn into a new body after death. Capitalizing it helps to emphasize its significance as a specific philosophical or religious concept.

Muslim doctors made significant contributions to medicine during the Islamic Golden Age, including advancements in surgery, pharmacology, and anatomy. They established hospitals as centers of medical education and research and translated important medical texts from Greek, Persian, and Indian sources. Muslim doctors also introduced innovative surgical techniques, such as the use of anesthesia and the development of surgical instruments.

Gautama is not considered a reincarnation of a god. He is the historical figure who became known as the Buddha, the founder of Buddhism. Buddhists do not believe in a supreme god or the concept of reincarnation as the transfer of a fixed individual soul or identity. Instead, they believe in the cycle of rebirth based on the concept of karma.

Hold that thought.....I'll come back and let you know in sixty years.

Both Hinduism and Buddhism are firmly based on the concept of karma, reincarnation and rebirth. Both also believe in transmigration, or that one can be born at different levels of existence (insect, fish, animal, etc.). Specifically Buddhism posits that, unless you become freed from Samasara, the Wheel of Life, that you will be reborn in one of six realms: hell, hungry ghost, animal, human, demi-god or gods realm, each with their own type of suffering.
