It makes for an interesting story, but I also don’t really believe in such things.
Also, even if reincarnation does happen, what’s the chances that we remember anything from our past lives? If we didn’t know and went on obliviously every time, it seems pointless as we wouldn’t be able to learn anything.
It’s so much more definitive to have it all be linear and one-way-only, but being stuck forever in the hereafter, wherever it is, also seems a bit dumb sometimes.
What! Materialism does not reject any possibility of life after death. That’s absurd. Materialism demands life after death, in most cases. You get eaten by bugs, turned into a tree and some grass, maybe your ashes fertilize a field. The substance of what you were goes on to become part of whatever life makes use of it. Materialism just says that this thing people call a soul probably doesn’t exist. It says that because nobody has ever tasted, touched, heard, or seen a soul before. I have seen mold, though.
I still remain a little sceptical. The reason being that there was no conclusive evidence regarding the boy’s previous family. If say, the kid had a proper discussion with his former ‘sisters’ exchanging facts that only they know, then that would be convincing to me.
As much as i hate to say it, there have been far to many hoaxers that have made me quite sceptical to anything really.
I honestly don’t want to believe in reincarnation (because i think life is not that great – hence here) but i can’t see that someone who just died in the most horrific of ways could have to repeat life again because they somehow didn’t learn a lesson.
That for me is like making one mistake on a 500 page questionaire and some white collar dude with a superiority complex tutting and saying “well, you’ll just have to do it again, won’t you”?
When I was a kid, I was convinced that I had an invisible friend who I’d hang out with under my bed. I’m glad my parents didn’t start acting like he was a real friend that actually existed. That’d be traumatizing later in life.
I’ve been spending a good portion of my day reading up on this.
Found several articles and research stories that make you think. Or at least give pause.
Again, I’m not one for this sort and honestly if it were true. I would not want to come back here bc someome or energy beimg thinks I havent learned enough or I made too many miatales amd need a do over.
If that was the case then let us have a do over here and outaide if that. I personally have learned enough about this life for a million and one lifetimes.

as far as I understand reincarnation, the point is not to learn anything in that sense. it is to experience.
Interesting on both accounts.
I’m currenting reading up on the Buddhist view of this. Its nothing like I thought.
They believe not all come back and move forward to a higher sense.

I had a couple of invisible friends myself at the age of 2.
Both of which apparently lived in new York. Go figure. Lol.
All great points!!!
