It seems I've written for a few hours, and while I was orignally going to make a lengthy post ... or two ... I finally knew it would not happen, once I was sure it would take four or five posts to begin to capture my writing. :p

For those who know my usual verbose style, and the inevitable, "Where on Earth are you going with this!" which occurs after about the third screenful of the post ... I think I've now written something different.

It is personal, it is speculative, it is quite original ... and I do feel that it has a great deal to do with what a number of us have experienced at C-R.

Although I have made an effort to discuss Reincarnation, and to show why this belief should make good sense to any thoughtful person, I have also stated explicitly that I am really only sharing what I myself have found to be true.

Just remember, as one of my teachers used to tell me, "We see the world, through the world we have seen." :)

And yes, this is a ridiculously long piece, so I am uploading it as a Word doc. It is 17 gosh-darn pages ... :eek:

But clearly, if I did not hope it might stimulate some discussion for any of the brave souls willing to read it ... I would not bother to post it. ;)

Apologies in advance for typos, errors, entire missing strings of thought and logic, etc. (there are lots) :p

Peace ... Love and Light,

I believe that the idea of reincarnation is just a concept, but also a successful counter to the idea of death, which is also just a concept.

Okay, fair enough. Let me ask you this: Would you agree with the statement, that on some level, "Thought are Things"?
 
Off to read your document- then I will reply properly, if I can muddle through.... I have been having a foggy brain lately, I do not know what's up.

I couldn't post here for days and wondered if I had already been banned from the board for something I had said ( or emailed) and unknowingly offended someone....... glad to know it was a website problem, instead. :)
