What are your beliefs on Reincarnation?

[RadiantPearl]

I’d love to know so I can try and apply/decipher mine! I’m new to Wicca and know they believe in Summerland and reincarnation. Also do you believe in punishment after death?

Thanks!

Hi

Yes, I do believe in reincarnation, as I believe we are here on Earth School to learn.

I don't think anyone will punish after death. It will come down to your soul that will judge what could have done differently and plan next reincarnation.

Peace and blessings

Yes I believe in Reincarnation what we don't learn in one life time we come back to carry on learning.happily for me I walk my final path I wont be coming back. I have lived many life times and this by far has been the worse
There are Layers in the spirit world if you do wrong you start at the bottom until you come to terms with what you have done.
that is my belief anyway.

That is pretty much the Hindu belief, which I subscribe to. The difference is that we generally believe we don't know when it will be our last reincarnation. There's an exception that Krishna promised in the Bhagavad Gita... if we remember him at the time we quit our bodies, there is no doubt we will become one with him, i.e. moksha, liberation from the cycle of rebirth.

Yes, but what does it mean that we "remember him" at our time of death. Is it an exception, or more of an explanation?

The exception is to the cycle of birth and death. Ordinarily we might have to pass through millions, maybe billions of lives before we attain moksha. Calling or chanting his name, thinking of Him grants moksha. It's a fast-track.

Not me! I am just here for the wild frat house keggers.
I don't remember any past lives, but that could be due to the heavy partying during the life before, so it suppose it's possible. Frankly, I don't see how any punishment could be worse than the wicked hangovers after a night at one of those wicked kegger. So no, a life of partying and flucking out is punishment enough..... but I can't wait to do it again if I can.

Yeah, right on, peace and blessings to you two dude.

What I feel about reincarnation isn't a belief for me, but rather what makes sense because of what I've experienced and learned through research. Many believe reincarnation happens to a spirit/soul/consciousness about every 145 years between livetimes. Sounds good to me...! Because of past life stories of children, it makes sense to me that when children pass their next incarnation may be in a matter of a couple years. Does our consciousness reach a level when it no longer needs to incarnate? I don't know.

Punishment after death? No...only enlightenment. I learned that through a NDE. Many others who've experienced a NDE also attest to this.

It's also my understanding that people killed en masse, early in life (think war) tend to come back very quickly because they feel their lives were cut short prematurely. That can be associated with increased birth rates after wars.

I have read this too. I was shown the lifetime before my present lifetime. In that life, I died at age 9. I came back in under 3 years, which is considered quick from what I read in Micheal Newton's and Helen Wambach's books. 4 years is considered normal or a bit longer within the last 100 or so years. Prior it was longer, which probably relates to the population sizes. Michael Newton, Dr. Ian Stevenson, and other authors pointed out that children tend to reincarnate quicker.
