Do you believe in Reincarnation? :D

The proofs is so many

And yes, I am well aware of all that has been said and written about the person known as Tuesday Lobsang Rampa. I am quite familiar with it.

Whether it is Lobsang Rampa ("Third eye" and countless of other books) or Joan Grant (Winged Pharaoh) , these books must be taken seriously.

Even in the event that it was all fictional, the level of detail make these people extraordinary. There is no doubt in my mind that they "walked" amongst the people they wrote about (either physically or in spirit).

The fact that Lobsang Rampa was supposedly "exposed" as a plumber living in UK does not change my feeling towards this amazing writer. In my opinion, he was truly gifted

I think, from 30 years of memory, it was in the book 'The Third Eye' or "Dr From Lasa" that the reason he became the person in England is explained.

I still have about 10 of his books.

I like to think that we are "combinations" of dead individuals - when someone dies their particles return to the Earth and also when we are born into awareness we are simply a reconstitution of these particles, that hopefully contain some kind of "memory" that allows our brain to decode possibly "prior" existences.

billion now and maybe twice that in another 100 years, where do some of the new people come from? I often ask myself this. The only possible answers I can think of are

I have read that we are all souls/aspects of the Greater Creator here experiencing life; only to reincarnate or return to the creator. As the Universe is limitless and God appears to be limitless by definition, then as God experiences more and more so more and more souls come "down" to experience this world. Hence the extra billions.

And then again...I dont have any definitive answer. This planet and/or god did not come with an Operating manual.

Not necessarily. But I find the premise that doing good deeds to get to heaven would work better if you reincarnated and had multiple chances to achieve this instead of one and done. So if I were to pick a religion of being likely true, I'd look to the ones that accepted reincarnation before others.

Though as an agnostic, I'm not quite sure how to objectively prove reincarnation yet. So officially I default to Occam's Razor and would have to answer your question with a no.

HOWEVER, in biology we are all the compost of previously dead animals. So TECHNICALLY we do reincarnate our bodies.

The akashic record is where everything is stored. I believe we are individual pieces of God that need to experience everything so we can be all God is in a smaller way. Karma is the correction tool that is used to refine your soul. The brain goes into the akashic and picks up info from there. Yours and in some cases others.
In an incarnation only a small part of you comes down to Earth. And is still connected to by invisible, to us, means.
