What is reincarnation? |
[Edit] |
Some people believe that after we die, that we are reincarnated - which means that our souls are born again into another body. There are divers theories regarding reincarnation. Some of those views are:
*People who believe in reincarnation believe that after they die their souls go into another body and live another life. In some value systems they live as different types of creatures. Hinduism has as a tenet that if a person has a good karma he will go to a higher form of life until he gets out of the reincarnation cycle but if he has a bad karma, that is, if the sum total of his deeds stacks up on the bad side, he will come back as some lower form of life, a frog, for instance.
*In order to grow up to be like our creator, we have to gain understanding and control of all 144,000 ways of thinking available to us. To think that this can be done in just one lifetime is something I have come to see as a foolish idea, given the amount of time it has taken me to learn about only some of these. This is why re-incarnation is necessary. It allows us to continue our learning which is our only reason for being here to start with.
An oximoron.
