Reincarnation
Past Lives - Future Lives
Past Lives - Future Lives
To understand reincarnation, we need to understand the nature of our
mind, and how our body and mind are separate entities. Understanding how our body and mind are separate entities, we
can understand how even though the body disintegrates at death, the continuum of
the mind remains unbroken. Instead of ceasing, the mind simply leaves the
present body and goes to the next life.
Reincarnation seems to have captured the imagination of many and the idea receives regular mentions in feature films, popular books, and popular music.
Transmigration, although not directly referred to as such, has been used frequently to the point of cliché in the sense of people "switching bodies," in which the identities of two or more characters transmigrate to each others bodies.

To understand reincarnation, we need to understand the nature of our mind, and how our body and mind are separate entities.
If we understand the nature of the mind, we can understand the existence of past and future lives. Many people believe that when the body disintegrates at death, the continuum of the mind ceases and the mind becomes non-existent, like a candle flame going out when all the wax has burned. In the Buddhist scriptures, our body is compared to a guesthouse and our mind to a guest dwelling within it. When we die, our mind leaves our body and goes to the next life, just like a guest leaving a guesthouse and going somewhere else.
Understanding how our body and mind are separate entities, we can understand how even though the body disintegrates at death, the continuum of the mind remains unbroken. Instead of ceasing, the mind simply leaves the present body and goes to the next life. ~ About Reincarnation
The Laws of Rebirth and Karma work hand in glove, so to speak. We are told that mankind came into being because Spirit, or the life-force behind everything, wished to develop more creative power. This development could only be accomplished by Spirit being so imprisoned and confined in matter (flesh) that It forgets Its oneness with Wisdom, and has to find everything out afresh through fighting and experience. So we are told that Virgin Spirit divided itself up into fractions and, by ensouling the egos of man and all other forms of life, sank itself into the heavy imprisoning matter of this world, and is slowly and patiently fighting its way back to Truth and Light and Power.

― Kurt Cobain

“My only fear of death is reincarnation.”
― Tupac
“As long as you are not aware of the continual law of Die and Be Again, you are merely a vague guest on a dark Earth.”
