Oh but it DOES matter to me if its true. It's really screwing with my mind and making me go insaaaane alalalalala. I need to know if all this is true so I can turn my life around and be a good person and prepare myself the best I can for the afterlife whatever it is and whatnot, or just live my life however I want and enjoy the only life I'll have. You see? it IS important
Problem is..how can I get to the bottom of this...

Not everyone reincarnates. There is a way to end the cycle. This is the buddhist parinirvana. The buddha will not be returning, for example.
Just my two cents, you dont have to believe me. But i have had several encounters with the dead. I actually chased a ghost cat one time and it vanished right before my eyes. Looked completely and totally real.
Also, allegedly when my grandma died, her late exhusband (aka my grandpa) came to take her away. This really freaks me out a little bit.edit on 17-7-2012 by phroziac because: (no reason given)

If your Catholic then you must believe in the Bible. If you believe in the bible then you know a dead human cannot appear again on earth in any form. Angels can't impersonate an individual so therefore there is only one conclusion.

My mother claims to have seen her father (my maternal grandfather) immediately after he died. He allegedly told her to take care of her mother (my maternal grandmother). She said he was dressed in his regular clothes and was wearing his usual baseball cap, but was situated in some sort of tunnel in front of her. Then he disappeared. My mother doesn't lie about anything. In fact she's probably the most truthful person I've ever known. I just don't know if she was seeing what she claims to have seen in that moment of grief.
This happened 22 years ago. I was not the closest person to my grandfather. My mother was. She also is the one who has to do the most to help the family. Especially to help her mother who is still alive.
If the dead sporadically visit the living they must have a reason. In my mother's case it was apparently a request for help for something my grandfather could no longer do upon his death.

What do you mean by a ghost cat. Animals have souls? What?

Op,
Whatever you do, dont listen to the trolls and atheists on this one.
I have found that there is now a huge atheist trend going on both in the world and on the interwebs and they scoff and make fun of anything spiritual based. So they're replies are usually revolving around psychosis or something similar, when its really the spiritually unaware who are in a mass cultural based psychosis program.
Good for your aunt. Her third eye is open and/or she herself maybe getting closer to the end of her life as well. No biggie really. If she keeps seeing ur bro, i would tell her to ask him to go to God

I can't believe she actually saw him because there is no way in hell he would appear to her and not to me. I mean that's sooo cruel. I would instantly believe in a afterlife if he only would have appeared to me. My aunt and I are not close and also she lives in another country.
I just cannot believe that it was actually him and he thought to himself or maybe a higher intelligence was behind this and said hey "I'm going to appear to my aunt (who has always been good and avoids evil things and is very pious, prays rosary everyday and her afterlife is probably going to be great) and not appear to my brother (whos on the "wrong" road in life and who's life is messt up and it looks like the future is not good and is suicidal and is a skeptic although open to other possibilities by him seeing me he would turn his life around and be good and avoid evil and believe in a afterlife! and when he dies since he was good because he saw me were going to live happily ever after!) Seriously...
I could never forgive him for appearing to my aunt and not to me...
dammit...

How are they judged if they dont know right from wrong? What happens to them after they die or are they the incarnation of a human who was really evil in his previous life?
