Different religions have different ideas about life after death. Each person is able to select for himself the most appropriate opinion. Reincarnation is the rebirth of a person after death. Leaving the body, the soul passes into another living being. This opinion is not inherent in all religions, but there are those that say so.
So, for example, in Buddhism, it is believed that a person has certain karmic laws, thanks to which he will be reborn into different creatures several times, depending on how much he deserved during earthly life.
Not many people want to believe in the disappearance of both the body and the soul after death. Someone is inclined to believe that after death breathing goes to heaven to paradise, someone believes in reincarnation. This question remains unexplored and no one can give an exact answer to it. However, the concept of reincarnation is actively discussed by many people, especially by adherents of certain religious movements.
Origin and meaning
Literally, "reincarnation" means "secondary entry into flesh and blood." The word is borrowed from Latin. In other words, it is the transmigration of the soul from one body to another. There is also a certain religious trend that claims that reincarnation is beyond question.
Reincarnation can be carried out in any living being, not necessarily from person to person. In different traditions there is a different definition of the spiritual shell. In some, she reincarnates from life to life, in others she goes to another world. In any case, the soul is considered to be an immortal entity that never dies.
In reincarnation, there is some purpose due to which it happens. In many religions, there are ideas that the spiritual shell of a person reincarnates into another being from time to time in order to undergo evolutionary changes and allow it to improve over several lifetimes, as well as to work off sins or karmic ideas.
You don't have to be a follower of any religion. Some people simply believe in reincarnation while being atheists. Initially, the concept of reincarnation appeared a very long time ago. It was mentioned in ancient scriptures. Even among the Indians, it is believed that the soul of a deceased relative after death passes to an infant from the same community.
Socrates, Pythagoras and other philosophers ancient greece believed that reincarnation actually existed. Many people have faith in it and modern world.
Reincarnation laws of physics
Subtle matter, from the point of view of science, has been studied for a very long time. However, no one has given an exact answer to the question of the existence and subsequent movement of the soul after death.
There is a so-called law of karma, which is not separated from the concept of reincarnation. Every life the soul undergoes evolutionary changes, it becomes better, it is cleared of karmic mistakes. Sometimes, according to some religions, not one, but several lives are needed to work out all the karmic mistakes of a person.
According to the version of the law of karma, all actions and thoughts of a person are embodied in this and next lives. In order for karma to become pure, one incarnation in a person is not always enough. Therefore, there may be several.
Reincarnation while alive
Each person has a subtle matter. At different peoples it is called differently. Usually it is customary to call it the soul. A person has not only a physical body, but also a subtle one, which is responsible for the actions, thoughts and actions of a person in this and subsequent lives.
It is believed that reincarnation also implies a change of sex. That is, if in this life a person is a man, then in the previous one he was a woman. If in a past life a person did not work out what was necessary and did not close his channels, then in this life he may receive some difficulties in the form of mental disorders, visions, split personality and other difficulties.
There is some idea that reincarnation occurs from a living being to a living one, but if the soul can reincarnate from a person into an animal, then it cannot go back.
There is a concept of relocation during life. That is, if a person does not need to change the body in this life, then it can be reincarnated in this life without changing the biological carrier.
Such processes do not occur often, but usually for a person they are accompanied by some serious shocks, such as clinical death. After such experiences, a person feels completely different, although his body remains the same as it was.
There is one case in the history of mankind, recorded not so long ago, when an American fell into a long coma, and when he woke up, he realized that he was a Swede. That is, there was a process of reincarnation in the existing body.
There is a certain table, guided by which you can learn a lot of interesting things if the soul was reincarnated in the same biological carrier.
There is also a temporary transmigration of the soul into another body. It is observed in actors when they completely transform into other characters and get used to the role so much that they no longer remember who they were before. It is rather problematic for them to return from the role later, but it is possible. This process must be carefully planned by the actor in order to learn how to return his soul to his own body after leaving the role.
Past lives and your soul
There are certain methods that allow you to find out who a person was during a past life, that is, in whom his soul was before moving into his present body.
The principles of reincarnation exist not only in human lives, there is a law of cyclicity, which can also be found in nature: the change of day and night, the seasons. The purpose in past and present lives may differ, since karmic mistakes are worked out in each new life, some become less, others more.
11 signs your soul has reincarnated
The process of reincarnation is not captured by a person, since the physical body does not have the ability to remember the past lives of its soul. But under certain conditions in memory, you can recreate pictures from the past. The spiritual shell of a person is immortal, but it can age.
Some teachings suggest that the more mature a person is in any area, the more often in past lives he had experience in this area. Not all people are mature, some are younger.
There are certain postulates that will allow you to determine that she has already been in another body before yours.
- Repeated dreams. All people have dreams, but not everyone remembers them. However, there are such dreams that are repeated several times and become annoying. At the same time, in a dream, a person clearly feels like a different person, or the dream is so realistic that it is then difficult for him to recover when he wakes up.
- Unusual memories. It is especially found in young children when they remember something that their parents do not remember and which, it seems, did not actually happen.
- Strong intuition. The unconscious flow can protect a person from any action. Or he can predict an event. Intuition is not well developed for everyone.
- Deja vu. They say that it is most often observed in young people and disappears with age.
- Empathy.
- The ability to foresee. A person can predict his own and someone else's future, has the ability to "peep" ahead to find out the answer to some questions.
- Clairvoyance. It has a very small number of people.
- Feeling out of age. Some people feel that their spiritual experience is superior to that of their physical body.
- The desire to know another culture or traditions of the people.
- Phobias.
- Feeling on Earth is not at home.
A person who has at least one of these signs may not understand why this happens to his consciousness, but this may mean that she has already reincarnated. Perhaps not just once.
recurring dreams
Dreams are a companion of every person. Even small children dream. The older a person gets, the less often and more blurry illustrations he sees, but some do not see them even at a young age.
There are such dreams that literally haunt a person throughout his life. real life. They dream so often and clearly that it begins to seem to a person that this really happened to him. At the same time, in a dream, he sees some unfamiliar person, a place, conversations, and so on. Something that he does not meet in this life. This moment suggests that the spirit has already been in this place or met with such a person in a past life.
strange memories
Young children experience memories from their past lives most intensely. Sometimes parents mistake childhood memories for jokes or fantasies, but almost always they are not fantasies, but memories from their past lives.
You have strong intuition
People with strong intuition definitely have a fairly mature spirit, because it gives them a connection to some unconscious sources with which you can own a certain amount of information.
Good intuition happens to young people, and to mature people, and even to children. A mature soul may not be in every person. But people with good intuition have sufficient experience with their spiritual shell.
deja vu
Many, especially young people, often face such a concept as deja vu in their lives. When you assume that something will happen now, and what exactly - it is either difficult or completely impossible to remember. Deja vu does not have to be associated with something unpleasant. It can also be caused by positive aspects.
Deja vu can be caused by various circumstances. Usually they appear spontaneously, but sometimes they are caused by some smells, sounds, voices and other things. Psychologists say that déjà vu is nothing more than a neurological abnormality, but those who believe in reincarnation believe that it appears as a reflection of past lives.
You are an empath
People who know how to immerse themselves in the pain and joy of another person, regardless of their experiences, are called empaths. They will feel so strongly everything that the other person feels that it seems to them that they experience these feelings in their life. There are very few such people. The majority is fixated only on their own experiences. But the ability to empathize speaks of the past transmigration of the soul into another body. During reincarnation, the spiritual shell remembers some events and reflects them in future lives.
Often there are those who only make the appearance of empathy. In reality, they are not imbued with the experiences of the other, but only superficially accept reality, while remaining completely immersed in themselves. But those who truly experience and feel all the suffering and joy of others have a mature spirit.
foresight
A very small number of people have the ability to foresee certain circumstances and incidents. These abilities can appear both in childhood and in adulthood. Sometimes they occur after serious incidents and experiences in a person's life.
Foresight can be done through visions, dreams, feelings, and many other aspects. It is clear that this ability is manifested in people with a mature spirit.
Clairvoyance to past events
The ability of clairvoyance appears very rarely. Most often, a person has this ability from early childhood, but it can open suddenly and in adulthood. Some try not to hear what they really hear, in order not to delve into many circumstances.
Information obtained through clairvoyance is unprovable. However, many people do confirm the reality of events predicted and received with the help of a seer.
You feel older than your age
There are people who cannot correlate their physical and mental age. Sometimes it seems to them that their soul is actually more mature than their body. Already at a young age, they do not make the mistakes that their peers make, they use their own experience, which appeared from nowhere. This fact suggests that such people have a mature soul that helps in real life.
You have a strong attraction to a particular culture, time period, environment
Attachment and desire to learn as much as possible about any culture or tradition of the people suggests that in a past life the soul lived in the physical body of a person belonging to this group.
At the same time, a person may not understand why he is so eager to determine the meaning of this culture for himself, everything happens unconsciously. Often this is found among archaeologists who are looking for information and artifacts of any period that is very important to them.
Unexplained fears or phobias
some children may be afraid of some inexplicable things. Nobody scared them, didn't tell horror stories, but for some reason the child is afraid of water, spiders or something else. It has to do with past life experiences. During reincarnation, the spiritual shell remembered and captured negative experiences and transferred them to the real body.
Parents often take such phobias for fiction, but in reality they are often a reflection of a past life. In adults, this happens much less often, but it also happens.
You feel like the earth is not your home
An inexplicable phenomenon sometimes occurs in people when they feel that they are out of place. The earth does not feel like a home to them. There is a feeling that he came from another planet or from another world, or from another time period.
Often this feeling is accompanied by constant anxiety, unconsciousness of some of their actions, incomprehensible dreams, and even neurological disorders. Such people have a spiritual shell that has been reincarnated, perhaps more than once.
Indians have a calm attitude towards death. The reason is simple. They believe in reincarnation and the laws of karma. In the East, even children know about the endless wanderings of the soul from one world to another. In Europe, traditions are different. But in recent decades, here too people have become interested in the cultural heritage of the Eastern countries. Along with yoga and meditation, knowledge of karma and reincarnation came to the West.
In this article
Evidence for reincarnation of the soul
The concept came from Eastern religions. Literally, this term means "". We are talking about the Soul, the Higher "I", or Atman. The immortal substance of the spiritual plane comes to Earth (Indian teachings speak of the planets of our Universe) several times in order to gain experience and become wiser. When earthly lessons are learned, it moves to another level of being and there it continues its evolution.
Representatives of science are skeptical about the theory of transmigration of souls. However, one cannot dismiss the inexplicable facts, of which there are plenty. We are talking about children who remember their former lives. And it is difficult to reduce it to a game of the imagination or fantasies. When talking about their past incarnations, children name precise details that are easy to verify and difficult to invent.
The memory of a past life is retained in children up to the age of five, then these memories are erased. At this age, the child fits into society, and the left, rational, hemisphere of the brain begins to dominate in him. Also, parents don't take "baby talk" about being on Earth too seriously.
Karma determines who we will be in the next life: human or animal
This law was discovered in ancient times as a result of life observations. Every action affects the future fate of a person. Karma will definitely manifest itself, although not immediately, but only after accumulating a critical mass.
It is naive to think that some actions will remain without consequences. It's just that a person does not always understand that the misfortunes and suffering that haunt him are the fruits of karma. However, karma can also be good. Pious deeds are followed by encouragement, but sometimes you have to wait for the next incarnation to receive a gift of fate.
Our current existence: financial situation, health, environment and even the climate in the place of residence - which we have developed in previous incarnations.
Karma should not be taken as punishment. It's just a law like the law of gravity. If you jump from a skyscraper and crash, there will be no judgment or punishment. You just took the wrong step, which was logically followed by a fall.
The role of an instrument of karma can also be ordinary people. The basis of the Old Testament principle “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth” is also based on the karmic law, only more obvious. By offending a person, you aroused anger in him and, possibly, a desire for revenge. But if you behave more carefully, then you can avoid negative attitudes, and life will become calmer.

How to look into your past incarnation
Intelligence is of no help in this regard.
Dreams often paint pictures of past lives
Access to deep memory can be opened during a hypnosis session. Regressive trance turns back time. Before the mind's eye, there are pictures of youth, then childhood. Moreover, the past appears in the smallest detail, down to sounds and smells. The subconscious mind remembers everything, it can even reproduce the page of a book that you looked at for no more than two seconds. Under hypnosis, people recall the prenatal period and the events of the previous incarnation.
Renowned out-of-body experience expert Raymond Moody used these sessions with his patients. Dr. Paul Hansen from Colorado, during regressive hypnosis, was transported to France of the 17th century to his own estate near the resort of Vichy. He was a nobleman with a wife and two children, and his name was Antoine de Poirot. Paul Hansen clearly saw himself together with the "French wife" during a horseback ride. At the same time, he could tell what color her dress was.
During a night's rest, our subconscious is active, therefore, especially if they are regularly repeated. A woman named Anna said that between the ages of 12 and 40, she often had the same dream.
In that world, she was a young aristocrat and lived in an old luxurious castle. In the next episode of the dream, the young man came to a secret meeting, where unknown people grabbed him and threw him into a stone dungeon. The executioners tried to find out something, but the young nobleman proudly kept silent. Then Anna dreamed that she was thrown into a well on a spinning shaft with sharp spikes that tormented her body until it bled. And at that moment the dream ended.
A few years later Anna read about the secret themic courts in the Middle Ages. The description of one of the methods of execution literally coincided with Anna's dreams. The woman came to the conclusion that the trial and subsequent execution were real episodes of her past life.
To access the memory of previous incarnations, there are many different methods: numerology, meditative practices, the use of a crystal ball or a water surface. Even a simple analysis of your own cultural, culinary and geographical preferences will shed light on your past life.
It's all about the firm intention and the amount of effort involved.
Scientific evidence for life after death
A conscientious scientist, even being an atheist, cannot ignore the obvious facts that contradict the established picture of the world. Faced with an inexplicable phenomenon, he will begin to carefully study it, collecting objective data and conducting laboratory experiments. Sometimes this path leads to the destruction of dogmas and a new look at reality.
Consciousness continues after death
Doctors in intensive care units can confirm that consciousness lives after the physical death of a person
Professor Parnia leads the resuscitation program and is familiar with many cases. clinical death. In his opinion, the collected data indicate that. In this case, the heart does not work and does not supply the brain with blood, and the devices do not record electrical impulses.
Sam Parnia decided to systematize all the cases of near-death experiences that he has recorded since 2008. The result of his research was the book Erasing Death: The Science that Redraws the Lines Between Life and Death.
Out-of-body experience
People who have experienced clinical death often talk about what they are. A similar experience was experienced by Pam Reynolds, a singer from the USA. When the woman was 35 years old, she needed surgery to remove a large aneurysm in her brain. The defect was difficult to access, and neurosurgeons decided to resort to cardiac arrest surgery. To do this, Pam's body was cooled to 16 degrees, breathing and heart work were suspended so that blood would not temporarily penetrate the head area. The patient's eyes were protected from light with a special tape, special inserts were inserted into the ears. The doctors ensured that the encephalogram was flat, and proceeded to the operation.
According to the recollections of the woman, she felt how the sound vibration makes her leave the body. Consciousness soared to the ceiling, and Pam watched the doctors perform the operation. She noted that consciousness was clear and vision sharp. She saw a drill that looked like an electric toothbrush, which the surgeon used to open the skull. The patient also heard a female voice talking about narrow arteries.
At a certain moment, there was a feeling that the woman was attracted by a distant source of light.
With each passing moment, the light grew brighter, and Pam saw the figures of dead relatives, including her grandmother and uncle.
A feeling of peace and bliss swept over my soul. But my uncle reminded me to return to the world of the living. He escorted the woman to the operating table where her body lay. But Pam had no desire to return. Apparently, at that moment, the surgeons used a defibrillator, and the soul was inside the body. It felt like a sudden plunge into ice water.
Meeting with the dead
One of the phenomena that people often encounter when they look beyond the boundaries of the physical world.
Bruce Grayson, M.D. and director of the Department of Perception Studies at the University of Virginia, is a recognized expert on near-death experiences. The researcher does not consider them vivid hallucinations. He is sure that these events take place in a special, but really existing space.
Grayson drew attention to the fact that people mostly met "on the other side" of dead relatives and very rarely with living people.
The most interesting is the following. Dr. Grayson recorded several cases when, being in a state of clinical death, patients met one of their relatives, in their opinion, alive. But later it turned out that in fact these people had already passed away.
Visions of the blind
Psychologists Kenneth Ring and Sharon Cooper investigated the post-mortem experience of patients who were unable to see. Through communities of blind people, these authors set out to seek out those who had near-death experiences or out-of-body experiences. The testimonies of 31 people formed the basis of their work "The View of Consciousness", which was published in 1991.
24 respondents stated that, . They were able to "see" their own body from the side, standing next to the doctors, as well as the environment of the ward. Others talked about images of deceased relatives and spiritual teachers.
It was surprising that many of the narrators were blind from birth. Even their dreams were not accompanied by visual images, but contained only auditory and tactile perception. But at the moment of clinical death, a person acquired the ability to see the world around him.
According to a man named Brad, he flew outside and hovered at a height where he could clearly see the snow, a passing bus, and a sports field. For others, the picture was not so clear, but still produced a stunning effect on the psyche.
During near-death experience, Brad, blind from birth, clearly saw a bus coming down the street.
One way or another, these people perceived reality not with physical organs, but with a part of consciousness that does not depend on the state of physiology: the eyes, optic nerves and brain.
Similarity of impressions
Later, his ideas were repeatedly confirmed by other scientists. For example, employees of the University of Liege (Belgium) conducted their study by interviewing patients who had been on the verge of death. Belgian scientists noted the individuality of the near-death experience, which concerned particulars. However, their statistics indicate the similarity of experienced feelings. 80% of the respondents experienced joy and peace. 69% said they saw a bright light. 64% talked about meeting other people on their journey.
Most near death patients describe a bright light at the end of the tunnel.
Positive personality changes
The Dutch researcher Pim van Lommel has worked in the field of cardiology for more than a quarter of a century and has come into contact with cases of clinical death more than once. His book, Consciousness Beyond Life: The Science of Near-Death Experiences, is based purely on facts.
Pim van Lommel said that in patients who went through the experience of near-death experience, there was a radical transformation of the personality for the better. First of all, they lost the fear of death - the main fear of modern man. It made them much more free and happy. Tension disappeared from life, the outlook on things became positive. Many have changed their character, they have become more sociable and friendly.
People who have had an out-of-body experience become more sociable and friendly
Almost all of the respondents perceive clinical death as a useful experience, the influence of which was not one-time, but extended to the rest of their lives.
Children can remember their past life
Dr. Ian Stevenson has devoted more than one year to studying the phenomenon of reincarnation. In particular, he worked with children to document their memories of a former life. He managed to identify more than three thousand cases when children under the age of five were able to resurrect the events of a previous incarnation.
Children as young as 5 still remember their past life
A girl from Sri Lanka spoke about her life in another city. She gave a detailed description of the house where she lived with her former relatives. Dr. Stevenson contacted the family to verify the girl's story, and most of the facts in the story were confirmed. Meanwhile, none of her relatives and friends had ever been in that city and could not tell about it, especially about the house of an unknown family.
Ian Stevenson also came to the conclusion that many childhood phobias have their origins in a previous life. A tragic death in a previous incarnation could have caused congenital bodily defects, indicating exactly how they lost their lives. The doctor's archive also documented cases when children, when they saw photographs of their "killers", experienced real rage.
Transfer of birthmarks
In a number of Asian countries, there is a ritual that involves marking the body of a deceased person. According to ancient belief, this will help the soul of the deceased. And the marks applied to the skin of the deceased will appear on the body of the born children in the form of birthmarks.
Birthmarks can come from a past life
On the Indochina peninsula, in the state of Myanmar (formerly Burma), a boy was born in one family. His parents were overjoyed when they discovered he had a birthmark exactly where the mark had been made on his late grandfather's skin.
Revived handwriting
The case took place in India, where a two-year-old boy, Taranjit Singh, suddenly announced that he had a different name and that he had previously lived in another village. They did not pay much attention to his words, although they were surprised that the child correctly named the settlement, which he could not even hear about.
Four years later, Taranjit remembered exactly how he left this world. He was heading to school and on the way he was the victim of a traffic accident: he was hit by a man on a motor scooter. The memory of the tragedy was filled with details: the deceased youth was in the ninth grade, 30 rupees lay in his pocket.
Taranjit Singh's parents decided to check whether there was a similar case in the village indicated by their son. The memories were fully confirmed, up to 30 rupees, which were found on the deceased.
By the way, the most curious thing in this case is that when comparing the handwriting samples of the two boys, they completely coincided in the style of the letters.
Innate knowledge of a foreign language
A curious story is connected with a resident of the American city of Philadelphia. At the age of 37, she was treated by a hypnotherapist. During one session, the timbre of her voice changed to a man's, and she spoke in an incomprehensible language. Later it turned out that this was a dialect of Swedish, which the patient had never studied, and she had not been able to visit Sweden itself in her life.
This case was described by Dr. Ian Stevenson in the book Xenoglossia. This is the name of the phenomenon when a person who has never studied a foreign language suddenly begins to speak it coherently. This can be explained by the fact that this language is familiar from a past life. In the case described by Dr. Stevenson, the 37-year-old American woman was a Swedish peasant and this memory was activated in a trance state.
Continuation of the documentary "Karma and Reincarnations":
Resurrection of Christ
Many scholars now believe Jesus was a real historical figure.
He spread his teachings among the Jews, which caused discontent among official religious figures, whom Jesus called "Pharisees and scribes." The high priests ensured that Christ was condemned and executed by crucifixion.
On Friday, after the physical death of Christ, his body was placed in a cave, next to which, by order of the Pharisees, guards were posted. On the third day there was an earthquake, and the body of Christ mysteriously disappeared from the tomb.
Soon, Jesus, in the form of a luminous body, appeared before the weeping Mary Magdalene and announced that he would soon go to the Kingdom of Heaven, to God the Father. The apostles at first did not believe the story of Mary, but later they saw the resurrected Messiah with their own eyes. For 40 days, Christ appeared to his disciples and provided them with support, after which he ascended to heaven.
The Resurrection of Jesus from the Dead Gives Believers Hope for Life After Death
Considering that Jesus was a person and at the same time was highly developed spiritually, all these events do not seem like a fantasy. Christ could consciously and when necessary communicate with the disciples after physical death.
Conclusion
Don Juan, the teacher of Carlos Castaneda, said that death is the only wise adviser. An ancient Roman proverb says: "Memento mori" - "remember death." In the light of the doctrine of karma and reincarnation, the importance of the idea of death becomes apparent. The realization that the life of the physical body is finite makes a person think about the meaning of his existence. And the law of karma makes him more responsible in his actions.
In the poll of the rebirth of the soul - "Is there life after death?" - worries many. Some say that after human life comes eternal life for the soul, and depending on how you lived this life, it depends where this eternity will last, in hell or in paradise. Others are of the opinion that it is quite possible to be reborn again in such a world, but not only as a person, but also as another living being. Still others claim that we live once and will never be born again. There are different opinions on this matter, mainly religious movements are asking this question, building on this put forward moral and ethical principles, however, people from science periodically make attempts to prove the phenomenon of rebirth, while ordinary people are often motivated by knowledge of rebirth for a more blessed life today. .
The rebirth of the soul has been painstakingly studied by such researchers as Raymond Moody, Ian Stevenson, Michael Newton. In their writings, they described in detail the ongoing experiments and studies and tried in every possible way to scientifically prove the existence of this phenomenon. Of course, criticism did not pass them by, however, this does not mean that they were not right. Things are different in the eastern countries, where Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism and Buddhism are widespread. For these currents, rebirth is a central and integral concept of the teaching. But first things first.
Scientific evidence for the rebirth of the soul
The most famous scientists who studied the rebirth of the soul in their time were Raymond Moody, a psychologist and physician, and Ian Stevenson, a psychiatrist and biochemist. Naturally, not everyone in the scientific community was ready to accept their work. However, both Moody and Stevenson tried to approach the study of this problem as scientifically as possible. Raymond Moody used in his research regressive hypnosis, often used to study the rebirth of the soul. Having a great deal of skepticism on this issue, he first went through this procedure himself and, remembering several of his past lives, seriously engaged in the study of rebirth and published the book Life Before Life. Before that, he was known for his other work “Life after life” (or “Life after death”), which declared the unconditional existence of the soul and its further journey, it described the experiences of people who had experienced clinical death. On this subject, there is another famous book by the author Michael Newton, Ph.D., hypnotherapist - "Journey of the Soul", which also describes cases of immersing people in deep regressive hypnosis, through which clients experienced an out-of-body experience and recalled their past lives.
Ian Stevenson has been researching the rebirth of the soul for 40 years by looking for evidence of children's statements about their past lives. That is, the facts were compared, for example, the child claimed that he lived in a certain city, with specific people, was afraid of something, etc. And Stevenson went to this place and checked the data, raised the archives. Often what the children said was confirmed. Over the years, about 3,000 cases have been studied.
Why in scientific circles doubt the rebirth of the soul
The main reason for doubts about the rebirth of the soul in scientific circles is the not fully understood human brain and its capabilities. It has already been proven that any information, be it a sound, a picture or a smell, is immediately imprinted in our brain. And in critical situations, in illness or spontaneously, a person can remember this information and pass it off as his experiences. There is a case when a woman, being delirious, began to speak Hebrew and Ancient Greek, which she had never learned. It turned out that she worked as a maid for a pastor who often read sermons in ancient languages at home, and these texts were involuntarily imprinted in her subconscious. From here one can understand the doubts of scientists about the rebirth of the soul, especially in the modern world, where a huge flurry of information is poured into the heads of the population around the clock through the media, and it is not so easy to find out where the past life really takes place, and where the fantasy is.
Rebirth in Buddhism
If earlier we talked about the rebirth of the soul, then unlike other confessions, Buddhism speaks of the rebirth of the mind, represented by a stream of impressions, experience or cittas. In the Pali language, rebirth is punabhava, which means ‘existence again’. You can often find a comparison with a burning candle, where the wax is the physical body, the wick is the sense organs, the oxygen particles are the objects of perception, and the flame is the consciousness or mind. A burning candle is like a living person: from the outside it may seem that the candle is always the same, but every time a new particle of wick and wax burns, and every second the flame interacts with a new particle of oxygen. When the candle is completely burnt out, which symbolizes death, the flame can go to a new candle, and this is a new body, rebirth, but can we say that the flame is still the same? According to the Buddha, yes. Buddhists are of the opinion that the new body is due to the accumulated impressions and karma. It is believed that rebirth occurs due to a passionate desire to continue to live, to enjoy, to receive impressions. The Buddha called this desire a seamstress: as a seamstress sews different pieces of fabric, so this passionate desire connects one life with another. The cycle of life and death is called samsara. Being in samsara is not considered the most favorable state of affairs, and one of the main themes of Buddhism is the practice to break this vicious circle.
Traditionally in Buddhism, there are six worlds of samsara, that is, six possible ways of rebirth:
- World of the Gods;
- Asura world;
- The world of people;
- Animal world;
- Hungry Ghost World;
- Hell worlds.
It is interesting to note that all six worlds are reflected in each of them. For example, in the world of people you can meet those who live as if in hell, that is, a person can be tortured, bullied; children in the hungry areas of Africa are like hungry ghosts, despite the fact that there is enough food and water on earth, it is practically inaccessible to them, and they are tormented by hunger and thirst; there are people who live like animals - they sleep on the street, eat whatever they pick up, etc.; there are those who live like human beings; people filled with envy, while not needing anything, are the world of asuras; there are, of course, those who live like gods, they already have everything in a human body, they are beautiful, healthy and do not know troubles. And, thus, it is possible to consider each of the worlds. Still, it is widely believed that the human birth is one of the most precious births, because there is development and the ability to move forward, which is difficult to achieve, for example, in the world of the Gods, since there is no incentive to develop due to the lack of need for anything. Rebirth into one world or another occurs on the basis of accumulated karma, that is, certain reasons must be created for birth in a particular world and circumstances. In general, for a soul to get into a Christian hell or paradise, conditions must also be created during life - why not karma?
The symbol of samsara in the Buddhist tradition is the wheel of rebirth, or bhavacakra. Traditionally, he is depicted clutched in the paws and fangs of the god of death, Yama. In the center are a pig, a snake and a rooster, symbolizing ignorance, anger and lust - the sources of suffering that keep a being in the wheel of samsara. Further, people are depicted striving upwards - to spiritual life, and downwards - non-virtuous, who are led to hell. Then the six worlds of samsara are located, and the twelvefold formula of being (causes and consequences) completes the picture.
According to the Dalai Lama XIV, the consciousness that we have now will pass into the next life, and we had it in a past life. Consciousness does not have an opposing factor that would lead to its stop, to its cessation. In the deep layers of consciousness there are memories of past lives, and a person with a sufficiently high level of development is able to turn to these memories. With further honing of consciousness, it becomes possible to foresee the future. The Dalai Lama also emphasizes that if you live a meaningful life every day, you can guarantee yourself a good next incarnation.
What gives us the recognition of the phenomenon of rebirth
This is perhaps one of the most important questions, the answer to which explains the position of the opponents of the rebirth of the soul. The fact is that when a person understands that he does not just live more than one life, but that the quality of this life affects the next, that nothing passes without a trace and he will have to atone for all his sins and reap the fruits of his actions, then the realization comes that to live like this the way most of us live today is simply not possible. But is such a position beneficial to those who promote unbridled consumption, life one day and puts material values above spiritual ones? Of course not. It is worth considering why people who have experienced clinical death or experienced past lives, for the most part, change for the better. Apparently, they saw something that led them to the need to reconsider their lives now. In any case, the understanding that life does not end in this incarnation, and may even just begin, fills what is happening with meaning, allows you not to lose heart and realize your responsibility and involvement in what is happening. That is, what we have today is the fruit of our past actions, and blaming someone else for this, it turns out, is stupid.
In Tibet and India, the majority does not even have a question about rebirth, it is considered an undeniable and even obvious phenomenon. As mentioned above, in these cultures it is stated that the birth of a human is a precious birth that must be earned, I am silent about the birth in the body of a white person, for Indians this is comparable to a divine incarnation. If a person could not live this life in a human way, then welcome to the lower worlds: animals, pretas or hell. Such a theory undoubtedly makes us not just think, but appreciate and cherish the chance to go through this life in full awareness and with the opportunity to influence our development. For example, animals are practically deprived of such an opportunity, because, according to people who have experienced the memories of life in the body of an animal, instincts rule in that world and there is practically no place left for the manifestation of volitional conscious actions. Even a person, saving his life or being in need, is often not able to think about anything other than satisfying his needs, what can we say about animals.
The statement of one lama Dzongsar Khyantse Norbu Rinpoche is very close to me. According to him, from life to life we develop habits. For example, depressed and embittered people may have developed the habit of being discouraged and angry for five hundred lives, and this habit is fixed from incarnation to incarnation in such a way that it is no longer recognized by a person, and controls him. But as soon as he realizes that this is not him, but just his habit, then at that very moment he can begin to form another, more blissful habit, which will intensify from life to life and, conversely, make life easier. Combining this thought with the common Buddhist view that birth is driven by craving, one can reflect on what desires and habits drive us in this incarnation, and where they will lead us in the future. Suppose a person constantly thinks about food and eats without noticing it, that is, this is his habit that cannot be controlled, then does he need a human body for this, or can the body of some animal be sufficient? Of course, all the qualities inherent in this individual are important here, perhaps they still outweigh in the direction of the world of people. However, as we discussed above, human life is also different, you can be born in such an environment where there will be no opportunity to regain consciousness.
In conclusion, I would like to say that regardless of whether we believe in the rebirth of the soul or know that it exists for sure, we must justify our involvement in the human world. Do you really need proof that in the future you will have to answer for everything? It may be enough of your personal conscience to live with dignity, respecting yourself and others now, striving for development not in order to deserve something in the future, but so that this life is filled with meaning and high ideals.
One of the most mysterious topics in the history of mankind - what can be life after death. I propose to reflect together on such a mysterious and unidentified question. And in the article I will give evidence of the reincarnation of the soul. If you have other thoughts, comments are open. Write your point of view.
Origins of the theory
The version of reincarnation came from Buddhism and Judaism. These religious currents are based on love for the world, enlightenment and eternal life. Thanks to these commandments, the human soul was endowed eternal life. Our body decays and dies over time, but the soul can live forever. I think many have had to deal with the loss of a loved one.
Unfortunately, in life it is almost impossible to avoid death. If you believe the theory about the transmigration of souls, then it is possible to meet the deceased again in life, only in the form of another person, animal or phenomenon.
There are many cases when close relatives of a deceased person see him in dreams, notice his character in a small child, or, for example, the same black raven flies to their balcony.
Such things can be interpreted as unhealthy inventions or coincidences. And you can listen to your own feelings.
Scientific facts
Scientists, esotericists, philosophers have been struggling for centuries to unravel this mystery. As a result of the long-term war for the truth, amazing theories have arisen.
According to one version, the human soul is able to maintain a kind of natural balance, as well as to be saturated with experience. Therefore, after the death of the physical body, the soul can only move into the body of the opposite sex.
If the body of the deceased was incorrectly laid to rest or his grave was abused, then in the next life a person with this soul will suffer serious psychological illness. Schizophrenia, persecution mania, split personality - all these are signs of an unfortunate death in the past.
By the way, take a good look at your own body. Are there any inexplicable marks on it with which you were born, birthmarks? According to one version, such marks are scars from a past life. In other words, if a person has a large birthmark on his leg, then, probably, in a past life, his body died from a wound in this place.
Exist heated debate over what form the soul can take in a destitute life. According to the law of vitality, the human spirit cannot spend its existence in the body of an animal.
IN Eastern philosophy everything is a little different. Many Japanese sages say that the soul pays for the sins committed. If serious moral crimes were committed in the human body, then in the next life, energy matter will drag the existence of a dung beetle or an iron.
Some people claim that they remember events from their past life. To be more precise, various memories periodically pop up in front of them, events that definitely could not happen to them. It remains only to hope that this happened sometime in a past life.
Each of you, at least once in your life, has experienced such a strange feeling as deja vu. There are many theories about the origin of this phenomenon.
Some believe that this is a layering of intertemporal segments, others attribute this to the closure of intracerebral impulses. It's just that at some point it starts to seem to you that it all happened. You were in this place, you know what the interlocutor will say and almost predict further events. But such a coincidence cannot be. You, perhaps, have never been to this place, but here is your soul ...
Cases from science
Experiments to identify the movement of the soul began to be carried out long before scientific research.
Even in ancient times, the peoples of the eastern countries patented the original tradition. A deceased relative was put an end to some part of the body, and the hope was that it would be inherited by a new family member and become a mole. So moles on your body may not just have formed there.
Later, this superstition became interested in a certain Jim Tucker. Some interesting cases were cited in his works.
One of them had a grandfather who died a year before he was born. Before burial, they put a coal mark on left hand. The baby was born with a mole in the same place.
According to the source, a couple of years later the boy called his grandmother the name that her husband affectionately called, that is, the boy's grandfather. Since the death of a man in the family, grandmother was no longer addressed like that. Later, the boy's mother admitted that, while pregnant with him, her father came to her in a dream and expressed a desire to stay with his family.
And here's another example.
Diane worked in one of the social clinics in Miami. The woman was first a senior nurse in the clinic, and then a patient.
While working, she cared for a patient with an acute lung disease. He suffered from asthma attacks and coughing. He had a crescent mole on his shoulder. The man went on the mend, and the young people began an affair. Later, the couple got married and spent many happy years together.
But before these glorious events, the woman was observed by the psychotherapist of the clinic. In one of the sessions, she described her visions.
That during the conflict situation in North America, she, in the body of a native settler, hid with her baby in her arms. Suspecting the onset of the enemy, the girl covered the child's mouth with her hand, as a result of which she strangled him.
And everything in this story would not be so scary if there was not a crescent-shaped mole on the back of the child’s head.
By the way, according to one of the scientific versions, those who died from asphyxia in a previous life suffer from asthma.
In one of the cities of Turkey, scientists could observe the story of one boy.
He allegedly remembered the life of a soldier who was shot with a gun. By the way, a case was found in the local hospital about a man who was wounded in the right side of his face and died a week later. At the same time, the guy himself, who talked about his visions, was born with numerous facial defects, of course, on the right side.
Evidence for the existence of reincarnation
Many psychologists and psychotherapists are developing various methods based on it, allowing you to look into the human subconscious. One of them is hypnosis.
Hypnosis puts the patient into a trance state. A person unconsciously recalls facts from his childhood, past and from another life. When the client wakes up, he most likely does not remember anything. This practice allows you to understand many of the nuances of the human worldview. History knows several cases that can probably confirm the phenomenon of the transmigration of souls.
There is such a thing as false memories. A group of scientists conducted a survey among groups of children of different ages. Many of them spoke in detail and colorfully about their death. It attacked in most cases by force - a person was killed. The death occurred a few years before the birth of the interviewed child. Samimi clear stories were the guys aged two to six years.
Psychoanalyst Brian Weiss describes sessions in his scientific works With girl Catherine.
During a trance, she told the doctor that she saw the presence of his father and son in this room, gave their exact names. She also mentioned that her father died due to a weak heart, and her son also died for the same reason. Katherine knew little about the doctor's personal life and could hardly deliberately operate on such facts. Such a hairdryer, when a person sees the dead relatives of his interlocutor, is called twilight zone.
In the seventies, at the age of two, a boy named Kevin. He had a compound leg fracture that developed into a more serious condition and killed the baby. The child underwent a course of chemotherapy. The catheter was inserted through the right side of the neck, and above the left ear there was a noticeable scar from the deformity of the eye caused by the tumor.
Ten years later, his mother gave birth to a son, but from another man. The strange thing was that this child also had a scar, a birthmark on the right side of the neck, and problems with the left eye. As soon as the boy began to move independently, he strangely began to limp. He had no defects or diseases.
As he got older, the kid claimed that he remembered the medication course, could name the exact location of the catheter - the right side of the neck. Later, he began to talk about his old place of residence, describing exactly the house in which Kevin lived, although the guy himself had never been there.
Psychiatry teacher Ian Stevenson mentions little girl from Burma. She was born in the sixties of the twentieth century.
A three-year-old baby began to talk about herself as a Japanese soldier who was burned alive by the Burmese residents, tied to a tree trunk. Also, the girl was very different from the locals and ignored their national mentality.
She was attracted to boyish clothes and short hair. Didn't like the traditional spicy cuisine. She did not accept Buddhism. And in fact, in the distant years, Japanese soldiers attacked a Burmese settlement. Just as they slapped the locals, the girl treated her peers.
The most amazing thing was that she was born with unusual hands: on right hand the middle and ring fingers were fused, like frog membranes.
Only a few days old she had them removed. On the left hand, some phalanges were completely absent. The girl's mother claims that there was a mark on her right hand that looked like a burn and traces of ropes, but over time it disappeared.
One Indian village there lived a boy named Taranjit Singh. At the age of two, he said that he lived sixty kilometers from his native village and called himself Satnam Singh.
He called himself a student who, at the age of sixteen, was hit to death by a man on a scooter. His books were covered in blood, and in his pocket at that time was a piece of paper with a denomination of thirty rupees.
Nobody believed the child for a long time, but he did not stop telling this story. As a result, it occurred to his father to find out if there was at least a grain of truth in his words. The teacher of the local school told him that in fact, there was once a young man with that name, who died as a result of a ridiculous accident. The man, along with his son, went to the family of the deceased guy.
The parents confirmed the facts about the bloody books and the currency in his pocket. After the child was able to identify that unfortunate person from the photo. This story quickly spread to the local outskirts. The local experts and authorities, after conducting an examination, compared the handwriting of the two boys, who turned out to be similar to each other, like two drops of water.
Medical practice knows many examples of when people begin to speak fluently in a language unusual for them. As a rule, this happens after a traumatic brain injury, clinical death or severe stress. In parapsychology, this phenomenon is called xenoglossy.
Since a native speaker cannot learn, for example, Spanish in his usual habitat, and then begins to speak it fluently. The only rational explanation would be that he was fluent in it in a past life.
In practice there was a case with one little known American. A woman in her forties lived with an immigrant family who spoke Polish, Russian, Czech and English throughout her childhood. She herself, having moved to Philadelphia, began to study French. Turning to a psychoanalyst for help, she began to show unimaginable things.
During the hypnosis sessions, the woman spoke of herself as a Swedish peasant. She spoke naturally in Swedish. The woman calmly answered questions asked in this language, using new words and expressions. The English language hasn't gone away either. The public was initially skeptical of such figures. The woman was repeatedly tested on a polygraph and for knowledge of languages. The results proved that there was no deceit in her actions.
Conversations with family members and friends also led to the fact that she could not cross paths with this language anywhere. A team of experts found that the Swedish that the woman countered was mixed with Norwegian. The vocabulary of the man, in the form of which she came, was very meager, and he himself did not shine with intellect.
All this information is just a grain in the sea of the unknown phenomenon of reincarnation. As you have noticed, all the facts and examples that history gives us are not scientifically proven. All soul transmigration concept is located to this day under big question. Everyone has their own truth. Moreover, it is much more pleasant to live, realizing that this is not the last guise in which the light has yet to be seen.
You can check on yourself the methodology for remembering past lives, who you were before this incarnation, at. But first (not hypnosis), with the help of which past lives are remembered.

Is there a transmigration of souls after death? .. Reincarnation: what is it? .. Reincarnation is ... - Who could continue and complete these phrases with all persuasiveness and certainty?
The answers to these questions have plagued people for centuries. Not only various religions are trying to find them, but also science.
Reincarnation is ... or unusual evidence of it
In the 1980s, an interesting experiment was conducted in Australia. A television program that told viewers about reincarnation decided to conduct the following experiment: with the help of a well-known hypnotist, four randomly selected ladies were moved several centuries into the past.
At the same time, as it turned out, each of the women previously had a completely unique story, which they themselves never imagined. So, a woman from Australia, who at that time was a simple unmarried housewife, during the experiment could speak aristocratic French, using words that no one had heard of for a long time, and also assured that she was happily married.
In addition, she was able to accurately indicate the place of her past French residence. When a group of journalists went to the address indicated by her, they found the ruins of an old house: once a family of French aristocrats really lived in it.
Another Australian, again, housewife told the viewers of the experiment that in the past she was a Scot named Jace Boris. This information was also fully confirmed by the facts of archival data that were obtained in the city where Jace was born: real documents telling about his life have been preserved. The woman who was once a Scot, James, was also able to accurately depict the plan of the building where he once studied.
What is reincarnation?
Of course, these and many others (we will also recall them here) the facts of reincarnation or the rebirth of the soul after the death of the body is a topic that cannot but excite the imagination. And yet, even if we discard such bewitching pictures, there is a fairly specific definition of what reincarnation is.
Translated from Latin reincarnatio means "reincarnation." (This includes the concept reincarnation or Greek. metempsychosis).
Is it possible to reincarnate or transmigrate the soul after death?
This issue, as we have already noted, is being seriously addressed today by many well-known scientists and doctors. It is known, for example, about the relatively recent unique studies of the Canadian-American scientist, biochemist and psychiatrist Ian Stevenson, during which he was able to analyze more than a thousand different cases related to the possible phenomenon of transmigration of the soul.
Working in this direction, the scientist came to the conclusion that reincarnation exists and is not fiction at all. The studies he conducted and the collected materials point to the facts of real reincarnation and answer many riddles.
As proof of his case, Stevenson cited specific cases of scars, birthmarks, or the existence of rare talents of all kinds. All these cases have been described and confirmed by real historical facts.
So, for example, the public was surprised by the case when a child (boy) declared under hypnosis that in a past life he had been killed by an ax blow to the head. When the people who heard this checked the condition of his head in the place where he indicated, everyone was convinced that there was a large scar. In addition, the child gave his name in a previous life, and when this information was checked, it was also confirmed. A person with that name lived in a certain area and died from an ax blow.
Reincarnation of the soul - facts
How does reincarnation happen? How long does it take for our soul to be reborn after death? - Also interesting questions. The answer to them can be various facts that can be found in the history of various countries.
It is known and confirmed many times by doctors that some children at an early age keep memories of their past life. So, examples were given when a small child suddenly begins to tell in the most detailed way about how he lived, what he did and why he died. Moreover, a kid living on the Japanese islands can talk about how he worked on an English sea vessel. At the same time, he even names the professional objects that surrounded him, and calmly recalls how many years he has been engaged in this craft.
Unfortunately, as a person grows older, such memories begin to fade from memory and disappear completely by the age of eight. However, they can also appear in adults at a time of special emotional stress:
- ... a man without feelings was discovered. Friends identified him as Michael Boatwright. However, when he woke up, he himself considered himself Johan and spoke excellent Swedish, although he did not know it at all before.
- ... a teacher from England suddenly discovered with surprise that she had the ability to write in the language of the ancient Greeks. A little later, she could already speak this language. At the same time, the teacher in her current life had nothing to do with Greece, especially ancient.
- ...Mexico: here one unfortunate man was admitted to a psychiatric clinic after he began to see realistic pictures of ancient Crete. As it turned out, he could describe in detail the rites that the priests of Crete performed hundreds of years ago.
Hypnosis as a means to remember a past life
Can the memories of a past life, obtained in a state of hypnosis, serve as proof that the transmigration of souls still exists? ..
Opponents of the idea of reincarnation immediately criticized this possibility, arguing that the memories that a person tells about in a state of trance are instilled in him by the hypnotist himself. They refer to the fact that a specialist who knows the technique of hypnosis is able to force the people with whom he works to do whatever he orders them to do. So, in a state of hypnosis, many people can depict literally anything, from animals and their behavior to objects.
In addition, skeptics believe that a person who is under deep hypnosis has a change in consciousness and disruption of certain parts of the brain. All this allows the hypnotist to open channels that cannot be controlled by consciousness. This leads to memories that never really existed.
The experts know that
the human brain can remember and store in certain places in its memory the impressions that it received during its life. It is this hidden memory, which is also called cryptomencia, According to opponents of the theory of reincarnation, it causes people to have illusory memories of previous incarnations.
However, supporters of reincarnation drew the attention of their opponents to one interesting fact:
people under strong hypnosis did not just remember a past life. At that moment, their facial expressions and appearance changed, as well as the tone of their voice. Those who observed such phenomena were simply shocked by what they saw.
Thus, under the influence of hypnosis, some individuals who in a past life were older than their present age became suddenly haggard and tired - and this was evident from their movements. Others, on the contrary, became active and mobile, as they experienced a younger period of their past life before the eyes of bewitched eyewitnesses. Moreover, witnesses say that wrinkles even smoothed out on the face of such people.
Moreover: there were also cases when even more serious changes occurred with people. For example, they exhibited symptoms of an illness from which they had suffered in a past life. So, one Englishman noticed a bruise on his body from a rope after a hypnosis session. This was explained by the fact that in a past life, as it turned out, he was hanged. Another man, whose past life ended as a result of severe beatings, found many bruises on his back.
And all these real cases and signs from the life of different people and different eras - don't they deserve special attention and analysis of specialists? ..
Animal reincarnation
Rebirth or cases of reincarnation of animals are also reflected among such stories. Many believe, for example, that this is just as possible as the reincarnation of the human soul is possible. Moreover, there are many opinions about how this happens.
So, some believe that the souls of dead animals (although the question of whether animals have them at all is, in our opinion, open ...) and so, - these souls, if they exist, at the next stage can only be relocated to exactly the same biological species (that is, the dog will appear in his subsequent life as a puppy of a dog, and the reincarnated soul of a cat will move into a kitten).
There are also those who admit the idea that the soul that lives inside the animal, at the next stage of its development, can pass into the human body. So, a deceased pet dog, for example, can again return to where he lived, but in a completely different guise. And if the owner truly loved his pet, after some time he will definitely meet him, in this new form, again ...
By the way, sometimes I look at dogs and their owners - and I wonder: how similar they are to each other! ..
Talking about the reincarnation of cats, then there are some peculiarities. As you know, these creatures have at least nine lives. Some, however, believe that one cat can live all nine lives; others say that cats have nine lives - and therefore change their bodies nine times.
When the last feline reincarnation ends, the cat's soul finds peace and passes beyond the barrier (in afterworld), or maybe vice versa: it gets a higher level of development ...
The answer to the question of how the soul of an animal can (and can, in the end) end up inside a human body has not yet been answered. At least, modern ideas about the reincarnation of souls say nothing on this issue. It is only known that some believe in animals receiving a similar new body, while others believe in the possibility of transmigration of the soul from an animal to a person. Perhaps this is the very new stage of development to which the spirit of the animal passes ...
Where can the human soul go?
People who believe in reincarnation ask themselves the question: where exactly do the souls of the dead move? .. Different religious beliefs this question is answered in different ways. However, they all agree on one thing: no matter how much the soul travels, peace comes to it only after it reaches its highest stage of development.
The wait for this can be long. So, for example, the well-known Plato said that miracles happen to drunkards and gluttons after death, and they become ... donkeys. Evil people become wolves or hawks. Those who are used to obeying someone else's will become ants or bees.
Theory of reincarnation
The fact that the rebirth of the soul after death or reincarnation exists is noted in various teachings of both the East and the West. Although this is still in doubt for many.
As, for example, Pythagoras believed, each of us comes to this world in his materialized form 15 times, after which our soul, having gained its experience here, gets the opportunity, enriched by it, to rise to more high levels and move on to other, more perfect worlds.
Karma and reincarnation in this theory
are also closely related. And the fact that karma is the most important element of human life has not been disputed by many for a long time. One way or another, but the doctrine of reincarnation shows us the law of karma, which allows us to understand how it affects the new incarnations of a person in our world. It is believed that it is from the karma accumulated in previous lives that depends on who this or that individual will be in his future reincarnation.
Most people who believe in reincarnation clearly understand what karmic debt is. For others, let us explain, and perhaps repeat, that this concept includes, among other things, the mistakes that a person made in a past life and which he will have to work on in this life and, possibly, subsequent ones.
Such a debt for future incarnations can also be considered the fact that a person, having lived his life, has not fulfilled his true destiny in it.
