Is this the ultimate proof of reincarnation

david hobbs · Is this the ultimate proof of reincarnation

This is something to make you think.

I have never believed in the concept of reincarnation but this pushes me a little closed to changing my mind.

I'm shocked you don't accept the concept of reincarnation Hobbs.

I don't see how a person could not believe in it.

Find the proof yourself. I'm not here to convince you of anything.

See how the natural world works. Watch how nature works. Everything moves in a cycle. The earth, the moon, the seasons, the years, weeks, days and months.
Everything goes around, dies and somehow comes back to life again.

We're part of the natural world. What makes you think we're any different?

david hobbs

All very true but the things come back as different entities.

I can accept more readily the genetic memory concept.

Raymond

Of course you can because your mind works in that way, and I do believe there is a lot to be said for genetic memory.

Plant a daffodil bulb and watch it for a few years. At the start of each spring it will come to life, at the end of the spring it will die, and the following spring it will come to life again.
Each time the daffodil will come back exactly the same.

Who's to say our "souls" aren't like the Daffodil bulb. Continually re-growing a new life when the old one has expired?

david hobbs

The part of the plant that comes into the light is always replaced.

The place from whence it comes is always hidden.

The nutrients from the living flower always go back to the bulb in order to build something new. and fresh to this world of light.

Oh you've got me going now you av matey.

The universe does in fact recycle everything.

Whether that recycling is in such a way that the whole of ones being is recycled into one single other being is debateable, though not wholly impossible. However it is unlikely.

Having said that, it does seem to be the case that the conscience, at least what we understand of it, does somehow live on after the physical death (as we know it), so perhaps it is that conscience (for want of a better word) that does reincarnate.
