This question always reflects on my mind. Do you believe in it? Well, whether we believe or not in reincarnation is a matter of yes or no. This is because, personally, I keep wondering within my mind why science has not generally proven it and how to give it prominence like other nuances of human nature.
As a person with a liberal view and religious beliefs too, I wouldn't like to be a closed-minded religious critic who disbelieves in things pertaining to the spiritual realm, so long as I know there could be many invisible things I may not know that do happen or exist in the universe, coupled with the fact that literally everything in life is spiritual. Reincarnation is one of them, as a concept strongly believed by the Hindus, Sihkkist, and Bhudis
The Christian Bible also has a titbit of reincarnation. You can deduce this from the Biblical verses of Hebrew 5:8–10, 7:15–17, and Psalm 110:4, which term Christ as a priest in order of Melchizedek, and John the Baptist coming as Elijah in Matthew 11:13–14. Although the scriptures do not elaborately expounded the subject as a lone literature, rather they infuse it in the aspect of the soul's repentance and regeneration.
Reincarnation is classically upheld by Hindus and Indians as a rebirth or transmigration of beings who had died a biological death to be reborn again into a physical body, probably to make corrections to past deeds so as to attain perfection of their soul. In recent times, the concept of reincarnation has been extrapolated to other points of view. However, come what may, I'm in between. I do believe it's possible for reincarnation to occur, and at the same time, I'm being speculative about it.
If I were to justify my personal belief in reincarnation, my answer could be yes. I do believe, but I don't know about others due to the concept of individual differences, culture, belief, values, and faith, even though I'm very sceptical about the idea of reincarnation. I don't really focus on it. But from my deduction from the portion of the Bible that I have read
Hebrew 5:8–10, 7:15–17, Psalm 110:4, terming Christ as a priest in order of Melchizedek, and John the Baptist coming as Elijah ST In Matthew 11:13–14, I think certain people, not all, based on divine assignment and purpose, can be reborn in the order of another person who lived and died for the fulfilment of a divine purpose.
This time, as they come, they may not engage in heinous or unrighteous activities as they did in the past. They modify, correct, and straighten out wrongdoing. Remember, this isn't usually the case with everybody. Every being has its own order.
People have divert grace as well. I think this is the reason why Christianity does not put much emphasis on reincarnation, because believers would not want to change from doing evil, believing that if they die in sin, they would have a second chance to come back and make corrections for bad deeds. Such luck does not exist for all and sundry; it's for specific purposes. The Bible clearly states that it's appointed for a man to die once, and after that, it's judgement.
Some folks may think we could regain our lost relationships or lovers during reincarnation, and I like to throw my weight on it. Obviously, no! Though I do have a certain belief about reincarnation in the aspect of divine heroic assignment and making impactful change, I don't think about that aspect of the relationship; it is much less irrelevant for me. This doesn't mean it doesn't happen in certain religions and cultures, based on their strong adherence to this belief.
Additionally, certain persons can be divinely sent into people's lives for a purpose, either in a marital relationship or otherwise, but that doesn't mean they should have a presumptive belief they would die and return to get back together.
Paraventure There's a reincarnation, and many of us would or would not like to be reborn into the family in which we found ourselves, the nation, the religion, the culture, the kind of parents, and ourselves, especially our physical bodies. This is a result of the horrible experiences we've encountered. We would like to make a lot of changes. Change where we are born, including the kind of country, family, parents, and month of birth. Are you surprised? This tiny, ignored variable makes life terrible for many. These experiences make our life here undesirable most of the time.
Reincarnation may help to correct these wrongs and restructure the kind of life we want to live to the fullest. My thoughts, though.
I have had unpleasant, memorable experiences that raise unanswered questions in my mind. Life hasn't been fair to many. Wickedness of man everywhere, war, hunger, depression, and poverty. Then greed is still at its extreme. So I think if every human has a reflection that there's an afterlife and they pay the price of all the atrocities they commit against one another here in life, they would for now make corrections of their wrongs rather than waiting to die first and come back again in another physical body. Such suffering isn't desirable at all and the second chance to come back isn't available for all; it's a special possibility as it's a matter of spiritual occurrence.
Reincarnation is not an occurrence for all, it's for a special divine assignment on earth. It shouldn't be a thing of regular focus as there are certain occultic religions that have hijacked the concept of reincarnation, claiming sinful souls to be reborn in a circle to clean up their wrong deeds, which is not truly certain for all.
Some cultures and religions, such as Hinduism, Hinduism, and Bhudism, greatly believe in reincarnation. Christianity has its titbit of the concept, but do not make it a focus; rather, the focus is on repentance and regeneration of souls by accepting Jesus Christ, doing away with sins, getting forgiveness through the finished work of Christ, and living a renewed life. If one dies once, after that, it's judgement for their deeds.
Anyway, this was how my mind reasoned today. Stay blessed
What do you think about this concept? Do you have a little time to reflect on this aspect of the afterlife? I'll be glad to hear your views.
