If nothing is impossible to god and even the theories in the hallowed halls of science can be abrogated by those who simply don't want to believe in those limitations, why do you say there is something stronger than a 'belief', something so binding that it MUST BE IN EXISTANCE and CANNOT BE MISSING?

Belief is one of the most powerful things in the Universe.
Knowing is stronger. For example, unshakeable, direct experience is even stronger than belief...and deep belief is stronger than blind faith.
I can believe a chair is solid and is ok to sit in...it's better to know that it is.
At least, that's how I see it.

Belief is what created this Universe...When God said, Let there be Light...
He believed it would happen. (He also knew it would.)
It's tricky - tomato, tomahto.

Ah Nathaniel, I had to laugh cos you sound just like me! I’m always asking questions as well.

Miss H has recommended a great book by Brian Weiss which I read years ago and I must say, that kinda convinced me of reincarnation. All his books are fairly convincing. Books about Edgar Cayce ie There is a River by Thomas Surgrue and The Sleeping Prophet by Jess Stearn are old books but brilliant.

Try them for starters.

Of course I don’t know for sure but I tend lean towards……probably.

For me the answer is "Yes".
This is only my own opinion .
There are too many accounts for it NOT to be true, and yes, I know we can't always believe what we read , but it's going with your gut feeling and possible inner knowledge.
I have no conscious recollection of a past life myself, as in I cannot recall being alive before.
But I'm sure we have all had those moments of Deja vu.
In my case I was just a very young child , maybe about 5 or 6 .
We went for a day out to a historic town . People in the UK may know the kind of place I mean if I say 'York'.
The second we got there and started walking around I thought "oh, it's here where we came before"....
As we walked round everything just felt so familiar. I'm the end I asked my dad "did we come here before?"...
He said that he had but I'd never been.
If course , I supposed he was being stupid and that he forgot.
So I kept asking him.
His answer was always the same , that I had never been there.
In the end I shut up and just enjoyed the knowledge that I knew this place and he didn't know what he was talking about LOL.

For myself yes Reincarnation does indeed Exist I have lived many life times
I am not one for reading books I go by what I know to be true.

not going to say its true or not two years ago i would said defiantly

my experiences
one was me and dad but i was the dad and he was the son and in that instance i knew why he was or like i persevered him that way and i changed and have an awesome relationship with my dad it, the seen was set in older times in an old cabin like structure

had others like that to

all so standing in front of a mirror and see faces fade in out on top of mine this i put to past lives but who knows

how
it just happens mostly when my thought processes stop, doing things on autopilot, driving in car, music, repetitive work, just about to go to sleep
relate Miss Hepburn but my is more like a day dream that comes out of the blue
but the faces one the mirror i see with my eye

comes from spirit to put a label on it but who really knows
its like the more i find out, the more i find how little i know about it

reason? because it dose, if i had give a reason to help and entertain me

No one else needs to believe or think this way.

A fact is objective, a belief is actually like an opinion because not everyone will share it.

This isn't to say there is no truth in reincarnation, but the truth obviously requires no belief.

I haven’t read any of your previous posts about reincarnation and we’re having a conversation here which is why I asked my question here.

With regards to whether or not I believe in reincarnation the answer is no. I’m not really interested in believing anything, a belief is too superficial, it’s a mind object.

Of course there's nothing wrong with having a belief, as long as it's understood that having a belief really just means you're not sure, which is why people say things like 'I believe' instead of 'I Know'.

Thank you for taking the time to tell me about your experience.

A very strange question. Not sure if I understand this correctly.
The so-called afterlife is a very strange concept to me as well.
When we leave this reality, we are just spirit, as we leave the body and mind behind. (this is correct in principle, not correct for everyone)
As we move away from this planet, reality, we have many ways or paths we can take. Coming back to this planet into another body is one. There are many ways to be of service in the non-physical realms, and this is the path most would take.
We can change our appearance but reincarnation in the non-physical sounds like an oxymoron to me.
