Can reincarnation be real

[Miss Hepburn]

Exactly, bobjob. Sorry, cuz I have said this before...my father was horrid to me.
I prayed, went to therapy, yelled at him in the Afterlife...anything to get rid of my anger and mostly to be able to forgive him.
Then one Saturday morning like today ---suddenly out of nowhere --as if a TV was suddenly turned on ...
and I heard as clear as day from ''the place'' before we come here:My dad:
"I will be your father and you will be my daughter and I will treat you the way you treat women,
(implied and others)...so you will stop, once and for all."
I said clearly: "Okay."
Our agreement.

So this horrid father was such a close friend he did this JUST for me.
Nothing to forgive or be angry about anymore...I got it.

No one has to believe any of what I said, of course...skeptics are every where.
Who cares. LOL...make up some story that I was mistaken, hahaha
Or how about that I'm lying! Crazy even! :)

I don't disbelieve such accounts, Miss H and would never call anyone a liar or crazy for relating their experience.

Whether, though, ALL similarly traumatic events are because there's some kind of reckoning to be met from the past - karma as some will have it - I have no idea but for every wrongdoing committed (as we may view such issues) one time will have been the first time.

Not everyone experiencing a bad time here in this dimension will be 'learning their lesson' as a consequence of something negative they needed to account for the last time or previous other times.

Being nonexistent is better, more peaceful.

Perhaps the genes we have are based on karma.

The question comes from someone who apparently does not understand the reasons for reincarnation and how a spirit may animate various bodies at various times. It shows how confusing it is when points are considered in isolation, without an overall context.

Me thinks the link between two incarnations of a person is karmic.

By definition the genes we have come from parents. The parents we have may - but may not - have something to do with events in our previous lives and the so-called karma some folk think we carry forward with us.

What does 'karmic' mean to YOU?

More existence is in being dead than busy and alive- the pain of reincarnation has turned me off- I worked out I spent 60 days in a period of 2000 years in a mini hell—- being dead would be far more favourable than being alive and excited for something ____

Probably paying out loads of cash; just to feel a pain body in a matrix of avartas’ and reincarnating until one is turned into a vampire???!

Questions???


Nonsense….

Your last word sums it all up so well....

It has also been said that some look on longingly wishing they also were able to take part in such valuable opportunities for growth. This dimension seemingly provides special if not unique opportunities that spirits are keen to experience for themselves. I can see, though, how many might look at the state of this world and reject such ideas.

Indeed. I have read many sources which say that Earth is one of the most difficult planets for learning and development. Even if our own lives are relatively comfortable we only have to watch the news to see that this is not the case for so many people around the world.

However, the rewards in terms of growth are correspondingly greater than on other planets where life is easier. From a Soul perspective 80 years on Earth passes very quickly, and the Soul develops qualities which make it stand out amongst other Souls.

The principle of karma is simple to understand. It says - all actions have consequences and the doer of the actions experiences some of the consequences of his actions.
