My Ideas on Reincarnation

Yes, I believe in reincarnation. Not because of my religion, but just because I think it makes the most sense out of the afterlives. I think that you have to keep living life until you get it right, kind of like Groundhog Day on a larger scale. Looking from a Christian standpoint, I don't see why reincarnation is such a no-no. If you thought life was awesome and want to ride again, why would God say no?

Apart from that, I suppose my ideas on reincarnation stem from ancient Greek ideas. I think that your spirit, as well as part of your mind, is transferred to your next shell. You won't remember things from your past lives unless an event awakens your memories. This can easily explain why some people are naturally talented in some areas whereas others are not. Take me and music. I was able to figure out a very simplified version of the first part of Für Elise on the piano when I was around 5, just by ear. I picked up clarinet very quickly. I picked up bass guitar very quickly. Treble clef was never that difficult to read. In fact, when I was in 6th grade and played french horn, I understood how to transpose a note from the horn to piano (C on french horn would be B flat on piano). My teacher didn't know how to do that. This could explain why some people can paint masterpieces the first time they pick up a paint brush. This could be why teenagers with no voice lessons can sing opera. All that's needed to awaken past memories is a spark, something that surfaces all of the things you've already learned.

As for if you actually get life right, I think you go to an eternal bliss. An eternal nothingness. No thoughts, no pain, no sound, nothing. In a sense, it's kind of like an eternal orgasm, where you mind shuts off and all you know is that your life (or eternity) is amazing. No thoughts, just existence.

That's all I've got for now.
