Ok, this question has probablt been ask a thousand times over but I just want to know. Do we have more than one lifetime? Like reincarnation when we come back to life in another do we keep memories from our past life? The reason I ask this is that (ok this could be my imagination but) I have memories that I know I haven't done in this body before, I have memories of walking, across a sea of white snow, struggling to get through, but I have never been anyway near to that type of climate. I know it is unlikely we will ever find an absolute truthful answer to knowing what happens after death, it makes for a great piece of discussion material. And try to be serious, though that my adding of the piece about me being in a cold area might seem stupid and like it's a joke, it's not. If anyone else has a memory they believe to be 100% of a past life than share it, please.
well that brings me back to the bible somewhat, but if we die the world will blow up and then god will make a new one that we can live peacefully on. I also heard that from other people to that is what i sort of believe but not really.
Depends on to what extent we want to interpret human life. All organisms (including us) eventually decompose back into Earth (if they aren't burried formally), and as a result, their simplest substances will be recycled in other organisms, plants, animals, and the like. I suppose it's possible that after you die you somehow have a new chance at life by some random chance, but I honestly don't know that for sure. Also, I hae those kinds of things too, PaW. I have memories of myself jumping off a huge tree into a huge body of water (like I'm going swimming or something). I can't remember if it was a dream, something in a movie or what, but it's there. I haven't necessarily decided it's a memory that's a part of me, but it's a possibility I suppose. I think we all have those kind of random memories that we don't ever remember encountering. To be honest, whether I get another life or not isn't too important to me. Because by the time I die it's likely that I'll have lived out my life and be ready to accept that it's just my time to go. If I do come back (of course I won't remember), in another body in another life, that would be great. But at the same time it won't, for numerous reasons.
Well I always thought Heaven was a place where you had a second,never ending life.I just think of Heaven as a place to life a second time.You could also choose to go back down to Earth as a ghost for a second thing. These are my opinions.
That's Karma you're believing in. You die and then you are born again whthout knowing what happened to you before. Maybe you did maybe you didn't but seeing an image that is believable but you never did may be a key to how you got that memory.
We live once and only once. I say this because you can't have lived more than once if you think about it in terms of biological chemistry. Your brain holds everything that you are and everything that you feel, remember, and act on. The time when that shuts down you're body decays and everything that you were goes back into being it's constituent materials, including your now dead brain. In essence life is like natures way of keeping meat fresh and no matter what you think of feel when your meat rots your brain and self ends up gone, never to be seen heard from or felt again.
The fact that we only live once makes life worth living. The fact that we die makes life special and important. If we lived forever, or over and over again, what would be the point of ever doing anything? There would be no limitations, and we would crave death. As for living more than once, I don't see why anyone would want to anyway >_>
To answer this, I'd say that I have no way of knowing the answer to that. I take this life as it is and live it to the best I can and fullest, enjoying the positive moments and getting over the darker ones swiftly, while attempting to hold no long lasting grudges or bothering to stagnate my life on petty stuff. Since I do not know what happens, I choose to take this life as being the only one I will have and that to me is the best way to live. I am more inclined to say that we live once, but at the same time, in the end, I cannot -absolutely- disprove it so I don't focus on it, because I've never had a real reason to once I decided that I could just leave the question open and move on. The human brain is a curious thing that is still being studied and not yet fully understood. I've had weird dreams and even had ones that can predict the future etc to some degree, but I don't really attach anything supernatural to them. As for having past life experiences, if I ever did happen to come across such a thing as having a dream, getting names, researching and finding out the person did exist and looked just like that in my dream, well then I'd have some proof. Since I've never been able to find any validation for peculiar 'real' feeling dreams, I don't worry about it so much because the brain does what it will when I sleep. If you can't get information to support dreams, it is probably best to assume you have a vivid imagination and are just having colorful dreams.
Still science hasn't got every answer and since they are restricted to the physical world anything else you can never learn from science. But it is true in a biological sense, no we can't come back. These bodies we have are but mortal and will eventually be destroyed one way or another. But than it really goes back too whether we have spiritual/mental type thing or believe in it. I kinda like the theory that you leave behind some type of spiritual/mental energy while you’re alive and someone who can pick up this energy and receive memories or other traits, like the idea you don't live more than once but you actually have more than one life so to speak. And about why you would want more than one life, well I personally just what to learn a lot more than what’s offered in one lifetime but I don't want to live long enough that I'm getting anywhere close to finding the answers to everything.
I still believe only in what I can actively understand and prove through repeatable testing. So the physical world is all that there is to me. If you look at this from a more metaphysical or spiritual sense, you are only grasping at that which can't be proven to exist at present and as such can be considered a distinct improbability. Being human and possessing more brain function we tend to think more abstractly and eventually form the idea of the soul but it is neither energy or matter in any known sense of the words, so I choose to be disinclined to believe in it's existence as a thing. But technically, it's possible, since it's existence has no examples on either side. If I want to look at it philosophically, we never die, because we leave our mark on the world, and affect the course of history. We are the future and everything that is beyond us, so we live on through our impact on the universe and our actions. That still ignores spirituality but does show another way to look at life, though that is up for interpretation, because you must first define life. Either way, life goes on, and on and one. So, I will for all intensive purposes say that it is not possible to live again, or have an after life. You live, you die, you're done.
I remember when I was young I had memories of 18th and early 19th century warfare, soldiers in uniforms fighting and such, yet I have never experienced that firsthand. I think it depends on what you believe in. The only true way we will find out what happens is if there is a way to attach a camera to a Soul, and when it dies and reincarnates, we will find it in another body.
There isn't much of a way to prove it.. There are many scientists who believe that we can live more than once, and many other scientists say we don't. There is no physical prove of that matter being.
I was going to say the same thing. I think what you believe in plays a major part in how you're going to answer this question. If you believe in a certain religion that believes in a second life, then of course you're going to say that you live more than once. All I know is that I live my life to the fullest that I can because I never know.
