I certainly do.
If I go through it? Time will tell. I am not entirely sure if I will.
no, my friends are dead to this life and not coming back.
Back in May I wrote an in depth article on the basic tenants of reincarnation and how it is perceived from different religions. You can find the article here:

I do indeed believe in reincarnation, as I have stated in another thread I have had many lives that I recall oh so clearly.
Believer :)
I've had readings, and I know places when I go there.
oh..one of my biggest struggles..
my book of faith says no...
but.. i have felt connections so deep that a previous life spent together only make sense..
i have been places that i know i have walked before...this is beyond de ja vous
so..i dunno follow the heart, or follow the head..
i choose , at this point, not to do either.. it doesnt really matter what i think.. in a few decades i'll know for sure
I believe. The remembrances of other lives are too strong not too.
I'm a day dream believer....
hmm can you say Dejavu??
BEEN THERE DONE THIS.....
I had a reading once and was told that my soul is very old. I have dreams of places I have been and yet never been there. But if by chance I come across these places I have vivid memories flash in to my mind.
So are we recycled over and over again? Yes until we have reached the point where we are no longer needed and then continued to our next journey
Taymos: yeah, taym..of course de javu is natural..
all the time..
why taym? are you having dejavu's? :P
Like I said before...dead is dead.
Then again, I used to have dreams about flying planes in WWI.
I am entirely undecided on the matter of Re-incarnation, or on what does happen to us when we die.
Maybe its just a matter of what we believe will happen to us when we die, happens to us when we die.
Like, if someone believe that they go to heaven, a place of pure bliss, then thats where they go.
If someone else believes that they will just cease to exist, then thats what happens to them.
Memnoch, that is actually quite perceptive. While there is a Tartarus, the traditional Christian/Hebrew/Muslim Hell does not exist.
We create our own Hell in the afterlife. It is the result of our transgressions against others in this lifetime. This ties into the other thread, What's Love.
It is all but impossible for me to explain this accurately, but after death you will pass into a realm of what can only be described as containing the purest of love. In this realm you will feel the utmost guilt and regret for the wrongs you have done against your fellow man. For those among us who have transgressed the most, it will be unbearable.
The amount of 'time' spent in this realm will vary from individual to individual. You will be free to leave at any time, but if your regret to too high you will not allow yourself to leave.
The Catholics have mistakenly called this place Purgatory. Their description is half on target. But as I have said, you exist here in a self-imposed state.
