The number one question in the entire history of our existence. Where do we go when we die? Although it’s a question that almost everyone has their own opinion on, there is no proof of any kind to support any specific theory.
One of these theories is known as reincarnation. It is the belief that when a person dies their soul is then reborn. It is widely believed and adopted by Asian religions like Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, etc. They believe that you are given a new life after you are done with the current one you are living now.
People all over the world have stories and experiences that lead them to believe in having lived in another time. Have you ever been extremely connected or interested in a different time period? I have! I don’t know what it is, but I have always been completely obsessed with the 1950s. Ever since I was a kid, I have always felt a strong connection to anything from that time.
At first, I thought I was just a fan of the culture. However, as I got older, whenever I would see a movie or anything related to that time I felt drawn to it. Almost as if I remember being there! Did I live as a person in the 50s?
To take it even further, have you ever met someone and felt like you knew them already? Like they felt so familiar as if you were friends for years? Well, people that believe in reincarnation would say it’s because you do know them. The energy inside the person you are talking to used to belong to another person you knew in a past life! When both of you died your energy was then recycled and given to a new body, and now you are coming across that energy again.
I know this is a lot to take in and I’m not saying whether the theory of reincarnation is true or not. But when you take all of these things into account with the beliefs of reincarnation, it does make some sense. I don’t know where we’re going and I don’t know where I’ve been, but if any of these ideas are true, they do give me some comfort. It would be nice if we could have another life after this one. But then again, you wouldn’t even know when you were living it (LOL).
Something cool to think about!
