What I Learned About Reincarnation.

What I Learned About Reincarnation.

According to what I read in Adrian Calabrese's book 'How to Get Everything You Ever Wanted' -- well, it's mainly about manifested as you guessed from the title, not much so about the afterlife -- there's a small section of the book that covers the reincarnation process.

In Calabrese's book, she talks about what happens after we die. It's not as luck-of-the-draw as I thought, and it all makes sense! We choose to live the lives we live. I choose to be transgender whether I want to admit it or not.

You see--we choose are gender, our race, our body frame, hair color, eye color, and whatever else we have to pick from. It dawned on me that this is how I came into this incarnation as a M2F transgender. With the knowledge that in our lifetimes, we go through a problem (or assignment as some like to look at it), being transgender in my case, I guess I had no clue what it was like, or I was a female in the last incarnation and wanted to know what being transgender is like.

But in the next afterlife, I am certainly NOT being transgender again! No way in heck!

Think about it. When enrolling into a college (or high school even in this day and age), you select yourself the courses you want to take. They don't just say to you 'Oh, we'll accept you if you take such-and-such a lession'. No. You pick them yourself.

For instance, one soul is a female for an incarnation. Then that person dies, and based on their choice in lessons, comes back as a transgender (physically male) to see what it's like, and when that lifetime passes, they reincarnate as a female again.

I've conducted a list of the kind of girl I want to be, too. The list isn't very long either. I just listed based on the following categories; Physical aspects, my personality, my likes and dislikes, and my lifestyle. Then, I listed all the characteristics I want to have, like enjoy being a girl (because I most definitely don't want to reincarnate as a girl and then end up wanting to be a boy again). I may possibly be making changes to it in the near future though.

I even listed what I want my name to be, the schools I want to go to, and life assigment and all. However, it does sound kind of morally sick so I'm not sure I'm comfortable posting it here yet.

I have also, at the bottom of this file I've created with Microsoft Word, included pictures of other girls I want to look like at a certain age.

Why am I so interested in the CONFIRMED concept of reincarnation (I emphasize 'confirmed' because I used to call my aunt 'Lisa' when that was not even her name when I was little. It was a residue from the last life where I was probably related to somebody named 'Lisa'. Plus, I heard of someone who recalls all her children she had in the last life.)? I don't know. I'm in no hurry to leave or nothing. I just want a second time and chance to make it right.

I must ask -- is it possible to manifest in the next lifetime by asking in this lifetime? Also, what are you guys' thoughts on this concept?

I guess there really is a solution for EVERY problem, after all!

[ROM]

Yes of course; after all, coming into being was our choice, as is everything else. We shape our fates/destinies, etc. And, reincarnation is not something we have to do, it's a choice. We can choose to come back and correct some past mistake if we wish.

Hi Roaring Thunder
Some lovely thoughts there, and I susupect you are a really special person with great foresight and amazing focus.
However ....
I just want to say that what we WANT isn't always what is best for us. Our perspective here on earth while we're stuck in human bodies is very different (and limited) to what it is from the other side. It's there that we recognise all the reasons for everything that happened to us during the lifetime we've just finished, and why we chose to be what and who we were. We also come to understand that nothing is a failure, nothing is bad (difficult concept to grasp, I admit) and that everything we chose and everything that happened was for a reason.
When the time comes to incarnate again, we have the support and advice of the guides who help us through every lifetime, and together we decide what will be best for us next time around - which lessons we came to learn but didn't quite master, which circumstances will be best for those lessons.
So, don't lock yourself into what you "want" next time around, far better to focus on what you chose this time and do the very best you can with it - the more lessons we learn while we're here, the less we have to deal with next time.
