Yes, I believe there is reincarnation. I have had too many memories and “chance encounters” with people that are so familiar to me they could finish my sentences.
Quantum physicists are examining the idea of parallel universes and realities which would mean that one soul energy can split into alternate realities and make different choices in every moment. This would mean that one soul is creating infinite realities and therefore living many different lives at the same time. That would be a possible explanation as to how/why with a burgeoning population there would be enough souls to go around.
And no, I was never Cleopatra or Helen of Troy or even Eleanor Roosevelt. I have remembered lifetimes where I was amazingly nondescript. I remember a lifetime being exterminated during WWII. I actually met my captor in the most unlikely place and without my ever mentioning a word, he began to describe the same memories that I had. (This was just one of a few encounters that I have had where the other person remembered me and our stories were parallel without my ever disclosing anything.) I do remember one or two noted lifetimes. But these are lives that were of notable people at the time and relatively obscure now.
It’s been known among researchers that many times one resembles the person they were in previous lifetimes. They also may have some of the same interests and passions as a soul often incarnates to finish tasks that were left undone in previous lives. One of the most famous researchers is Brian Weiss, MD. He has written a number of fascinating books on reincarnation containing contemporary case studies. link
While you can pooh-pooh what I say as the ruminations of a madwoman, the most interesting stories are those of children who recall their past lives because they do not really have the wealth and breadth of experience or knowledge of history to come up with these memories. There are a number of credible researchers who have documented hundreds of cases including Dr Jim Tucker and Carol Bowman. When my daughter was three years old, she turned around and put her hands on her hips with the most cross look on her face and pointed her finger and me and said, “You need to listen to me…because I used to be your mother!” Out of the mouth of babes. That made me laugh.
The most fascinating story of recent times is that of a young boy who began to be plagued with nightmares of a “little man” trapped in an airplane which turned out to be his memories of being shot down in WW2. This whole case was thoroughly traced and documented and it caused such a stir that even ABC News featured it link and Part 2 link
There is also a book on this case called Soul Survivor which is available on Amazon.
Skeptics will always scoff. But if you had told me twenty years ago, that I would communicate with the whole world on a tiny box no bigger than my hand that had a light in it and that I could access world libraries, order groceries, listen to and purchase music on it, talk to my friend across the world on it, look at the masterpieces of sculpture and art on it, read books on it and navigate my way around an unknown city with it…I would have thought that was simply a product of an overactive imagination (or you watching too many re-runs of “Star Trek”).
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy, Horatio.
It isn’t whether reincarnation is real or not, it’s as real as quantum reality is real. When we can wrap our brain around a quantum universe, then the idea of soul as energy continuing (and never being destroyed) makes complete sense. Is makes more sense to me that our souls are “recycled” so to speak and not just perched on a cloud playing a harp (or dancing on hot coals, elsewhere.)
