[FM] Topic 35 - Past Life Regression
Aug. 21st, 2006 04:22 pmI’ve never been a victim of reincarnation, so I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to tell you. The fact is that I know a great deal on the subject, and I can say without a doubt that I’ve never been a victim of this phenomenon, and I use the word ‘victim’ intentionally.
The new age version, complete with crystals and patchouli, is obviously the most widely accepted...after each complete life a person has lived, they are reborn to live anew...from conception to death. The *actual* definition of reincarnation, however, is quite different. It isn’t a renewal of life, but a substitution of it. Two people die at the same time...only one, however, recovers from that condition. It’s not dissimilar to possession, only you’re not dealing with a demon nor has a soul been sublimated. It’s like a tenant moving into a vacant property...it sounds rather cold, but that’s precisely what’s happening.
There are cases, however, when two souls try to inhabit a body at the same time, but in all the cases I’ve read, the original soul eventually slips away...it’s the original death, you see, that causes the event, so for reincarnation to take place this is what must transpire...it’s a hardship for the loved ones of the body’s original owner, but for the deceased it’s a chance to finish that which induced the reincarnation...settle unresolved matters, make right that which might have gone quite wrong.
I understand the above is hardly anecdotal, which is what you were likely looking for, but you asked a question and you got an answer...I can’t speculate on any sort of past life because I’ve not had one. Pure and simple.
