Can you reincarnate into the past?

Luminous · #1 28-10-2013, 10:37 PM

Lets say I was born 2010.

Can I reincarnate in 1500, for example? I heard that time doesnt exist actually, that everything is one, so can I live in the past in my next life or just in the future?

What do you think?

That is an interesting question. I don't think you can go backwards. Maybe in dreams like past life dreams.

Thank you Teal I was wondering that also...... If someone dies in 2022 will they become a baby NOW in 2022 or can they goto any year?? (One would hope they dont have to come back here at all)

Short answer: NO, you cannot. You can only re-experience it, similar to watching a movie.

Time does exist. Time is real. My computer is real. I really am typing right now. Once I post this I can't take it back.

People who think time isn't real and death is an illusion should drive across the median and into oncoming traffic, cause an 80-car pile-up, kill a dozen people, then turn around and face their community and say "but it's all an illusion."

If someone says death isn't real, it's an illusion, that our bodies are not really ourselves (or not real!) - I want to say to them, "Why don't you go kill your children and see if you miss them?"

All this "illusion" business in pop-metaphysics -- it's a trap, a trick, and the damage it does is not trivial.

Hi Axlus,

I think as long as you live here in the physical world, time is linear and moves forward and not backwards. But on the flip side, I also think that you can access anything with the power of your mind from any space and time in the universe, including past lives.

I think that all time, from the beginning to the end, just is. It's like all the space between Land's End and John O'Groats. We can only see the part we are in, but the rest is still there.

So, if reincarnation is real there would be no limit to when you were born or which life you could live. I think every life is like a book. After death we might choose a particular life from any point in history, much like we might choose any book to read from a whole library.

No. If so I would kill myself and reincarnate in the dark ages.

As far as I know time only goes forward . I dont think you can reincarnate in the past . People are regressed in to past lives , they can be progressed in to future lives , but as I understand its more of a possiable life . To astral Jane , you might want to be a bit more careful on what you suggest on your posts . Most of the people reading the posts on this forum are normal stable people , but I dont think you would want the karma if some unstable person acted on one of your suggestions .

I would try and reincarnate as myself in this life again only I'd do a LOT of things differently.

Also if I ever get access to time travel I would seriously consider going back in time and kicking my own butt a few times for being such a dumb(edit) on a few occassions.

But then again you know what they say about hindsight.

No from what I've read.
