Yes!

It is an easy choice to jump into the light tunnel and venture again towards a new incarnation, after digesting the last one for a few years.Some choose to stay on planet earth as ghosts,refusing to go anywhere except the familiar sights and sounds they know so well.More advanced souls might choose to avoid the light tunnel and try one of the smaller lights that lead to other realms......Like most of us here i am weary of incarnating again and choose a different path from the main light tunnel.Everyone here should know at least as much as I do on the subject, and remember that the most important moment, in your life of moments, is the very last one.Tibetan mystics have taught us that since we met them, and read their strange book of the Dead.Nothing I have encountered in my decades of meditation, have yet negated anything found in those pages.

So much time to evolve spiritually... and then I look into the mirror. A million lived years, and I ended up with THIS? Why would I by my own will want to take one more breath or have one more conscious thought? As it is, the expectation of being forced to get reborn again is now the strongest argument I can find for not seeking an earlier end than the one I have been programmed to wait for.

Yes, looking in the mirror is a problem. After 13 billion years of evolution I would have expected to be a little further along the way. A Buddhist teacher once said that if an eagle occasionally brushes its wings against Mount Everest it gives an idea of how many lives have to be lived until the mountain is worn away.
The Tibetan Book of the Dead also tells us just how difficult the path is after death and the ever present danger of being reborn as an animal. We will be presented with many choices which determine the next life many of them being illusions created by one's beliefs in this life.

Hippopotamus maybe?

I would prefer not to return to a physical body, but from all the books I have read on the subject, I'm not sure the choice is ours alone!

My understanding is that the Lords of Karma work with us and our guides in spirit, and help to find an incarnation which will be appropriate to our need to progress.

However I don't think there is any compunction in returning - you can progress spiritually in the afterlife but apparently the learning experiences whilst in the physical realm are felt more intensely and therefore the lesson is more permanently absorbed into your spiritual memory.

Just MHO of course, and based on things I have been told by mediums/past life 'experts'. Anyway, if we are truly individuals surely everyone's needs are different and therefore their experiences too.

Okay, you got it, let's go!

A - What time in human history you would like, and why?

To be honest, I haven't mastered this life, but if I decided to come back to this ball of stardust, then I'm going to pick a time where I'm with my soul group and my best friend! We are a bunch of smartasses, and I think I miss them enough to hang out with those energetic goons for another lifetime.

Being apart of any world is important to me so I gotta be in it to live it, and I think that's the opposite of this lifetime where I've taken more of a back seat to things.

B - What type of location you would like, and why?

Methinks Canada, near the water. Gotta grow up near a lake so I can make a lot of memories.

C - What type of gender you would like, and why?

Geez! That's a tough one. I get the sense in my next lifetime I might be female. Not saying it's my choice, but I just might be better at it than male. lol weird huh?! Other than that, who knows?

Because this life has been a bit lonely, I'm going to choose to have a large circle of friends and a close nit family. I also plan to travel and move near the mountains later in life.

Man, I'm giving this way too much thought.

[Bill1673]

I made a pact with my Mom before she passed. We will rejoin as Mother and Son in the next life. I have no idea where. We will discuss that later. I wouldn't mind another planet.
