    Sure base a lot of my beliefs on this idea.

    reincarnation is about as mad as the existence of heaven/hell

    No, of course not.

    No, Its just as absurd as heaven and hell and and I have seen no logical evidance to support it

    I can see that I may be the only one, thats ok.
    I just hate the idea of only being allowed one attmept to get it right.

    We fail daily in our lives and the thought of not being given another chance seems sad to me.
    I most probably am wrong, but it gets me through the day and forces me to take personal action to become a much better person. I suppose it can be done without another lifetime around the bend, but it works for me.

    Nothingness or Reincarnation? A quick thinking exercice.

    Sit back in your chair and try to think of a memory you have of when you were a child or a teenager. Preferably a memory of 10 years ago or longer.
    Think about this memory and try to think about how it was to be there.
    ....
    ....
    ....
    Did you like the ride?
    ....
    Now know very well that all the atoms that made up your body at that moment of that memory, are not in your body anymore today. All the atoms that made you you at that time have now moved. Some of those atoms might be a billion miles away from you.
    Every single part of your body at that time, is GONE. Your left leg is in Europe. Your right leg is in China. Your left arm is in Canada and your right arm has just been absorbed by the sun.
    Now tell me, - now you know that the body you had at the moment of that memory, has been totally disconnected and moved to untrace-able places -, what has happened with the consiousness of that moment? The body that you had at that moment, has died and all those body parts, including your brain, have been disconnected.
    Then why don't you experience the nothingness at this moment instead of reading my post and remembering that memory.

    This post is not an answer to the nothingness-theory but it provides anyone who wants a starting point to enter the world of reincarnation. If you think that reincarnation is not the answer, then why are you reincarnating every single nanosecond?

    PS: excuse me for my English, it's a language I learned from watching Terminator, 24 and the Simpsons.

    This is what I have also came to conclude by reasonning and logic.

    Happy to hear (read) another who experienced the same !


    And then you are the 4th person i meet in my life who thinks the same about this issue.

    Your last post:

    is right on the nail.

    I have used probability machines examples (duplicators of people) to help me explain the impossibility of anihilation of ourselves ("I") as matter can not be anihilated, but your example is so simple as it is indeniable from everyone's experience.

    Like Einstein said: "You understand when the answer is so simple that it sounds like God is talking".

    No. If I believed in reincarnation then I would have to accept that there are some processes that behave outside of a purely physical, non-mystical world. In doing that, then I would have to stop and ask myself "Then why couldn't there be a God?"

    I see exactly what you mean, but I don't think this is the kind of reincarnation we are talking about here. Not that it matters, we can go to wherever the discussion is most interesting... Still, I think you're referring to reincarnation in a very loose and figurative sense. There must be a better term for it. I think it's just a property of matter and, by extension, our brains.

    I don't.

    There's no proof of it.
