I think you've got it right Gary. We're here once and when we're gone we're gone.
However... I do wonder about "inherited memory" ie. passed on to us in our genes.

Would that it were that simple guys...to just be born once and "puff" ...show me anything else in nature that is that simple. We are powerful spiritual beings, destined to grow, learn and return to our "home".
Surely you can feel that in your bones regardless of what your worldly personality mind might wish to download or "squeeze" into your limited earthly belief system.
“It is not more surprising to be born twice than once; everything in nature is resurrection.”

I USED to believe in reincarnation, now I believe that it's a manifestation of our wish to live ''forever'' and not accept death. I think what made me change my mind is the belief that we are supposed to ''learn from our mistakes in every prior life until we are pure enough to finally ''retire'' (or whatever it's called)".
How are we supposed to know what to improve if we don't know what we did wrong in our prior life? I have NO memory of any prior life.

See you like Emerson, so be it:
The soul comes from without into the human body, as into a temporary abode, and it goes out of it anew it passes into other habitations, for the soul is immortal." "It is the secret of the world that all things subsist and do not die, but only retire a little from sight and afterwards return again. Nothing is dead; men feign themselves dead, and endure mock funerals... and there they stand looking out of the window, sound and well, in some strange new disguise.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I like some of everyone, not all, definitely not all of any one

I don't care to waste time with BS
I do think as we grow, we become more capable of listening within, asking God to help us improve. Otherwise, life would be pretty meaningless. Look how much more we understand today about the world around us vs earlier in history. Of course we are just scratching the surface and the term "reincarnation" is just that, a term. We could live one life with many experiences.
When I look back on my childhood years, I can't even remember things I did for the most part, so hopefully as we grow more intuitive we will be more adapt at knowing how to improve ourselves, even without remembering the exact details. We'll be able to "feel within". Learn to love more, huh.
It is what it is and believing it or disbelieving it doesn't change it. It just opens us up to receiving possible understanding or guidance as to what things or people to perhaps cultivate or avoid in life. If its true its true, if not, so be it. Call it a Universal Law. God rules.

Reincarnation is just another version of the myth about heaven. We want to believe that our soul is eternal and we will never die.
The story is that the 'eternal' soul knows, not it's present manifestation.

Yep, there is always a workaround excuse for religion to explain the unexplainable. Next time I feel a kick in the ass and there is no one around, I'll assume it's my "eternal soul" getting angry with me for making mistakes and not learning my lessons.The story is that the 'eternal' soul knows, not it's present manifestation.

The upshot of karma, according to my reading, is to learn to be kind. It feels good to set aside anger. And bs, Gary.

I agree with Gary O' and Cpt Lightning. I think we are only here once and then we are gone.
I've got to agree with Catlady. After studying theology and history, I can't help but come to the same conclusion. If I'm wrong, sue me. In another life.
Just remembered a good one. I worked in an office; a sign on the wall read:
"People who don't believe in life after death should come here at quitting time."
It is easy to poo-poo things you have never experienced. We tend to have character traits whereby we chose to trample on other's beliefs when
they don't match our own.
However, Goggle says 4 million Americans have been adducted by UFO's
Hypnosis is very, very open to suggestion, I don't accept it as creditable. Perhaps in a shrinks office, totally private.
Another however-I've know several shrinks that viewed their work as, 'another day on the job-not really interested in patient's problems.
I used to be skeptical, but we have a local UFO that will take you to Wal-marts. He does so as 'many of my people shop there, look around.'
He says his name is something we can't pronounce, so we just call him Herman.
See. it's easy to poo-poo something I know nothing about.
Herman says, 'Atta boy.'

You don't really believe in that, do you?
I LOVED the movie "Close Encounters'' but it was just fiction. Maybe there's something to Area 51 in Nevada, but we'll probably never know. LOL

No, but there is something very wrong with out society. Our local news reports the murders, rapes, kidnapping...
I live in Dallas-Ft Worth, Texas. There are 4 million or so located here. We average a murder per day for the many towns, villages, and
the large cities.
We cannot see the fabric of society is frayed, will break, if it is not already broken.
We have become a dangerous species. If I drive to Dallas I avoid the areas where the drive by shootings, murders...
This should not be, how can one repair what once was?

I don't know the answers, all I know is that the more crowded the environment the crazier the denizens become. There must be a psychological reason for it, the more people live close together the crazier they get and then commit crimes. Like, there's more crimes in cities than in the country. So, is there more crimes in the city because there are more people crowded together there? Your guess is as good as mine.
