This is a great thread. Dr. Weiss's quote sums it up.
Had a "conversation" with a friend who quotes the bible and is convinced we only live once. Cup is overflowing with tea!
You're very welcome.
I may have over simplified my above statement in regards to heading towards the blue light.
I would like to quote the following from the link below...

I don't want to promote someone's book or documentary, but wondered if anyone has seen the documentary, "Tibetan Book of The Dead - The Great Liberation"?
Here is the link....

Wow he is amazing. Never thought it would be a harmonica when I clicked on link. Lol
Whenever I see a young person like this playing an instrument I always think, there is no way they could be this talented without a PL to master it.
This is an old story, but some of the newbies may not be aware of her story.

In the 1930s when the idea of successive lives was not shared by the educated elite, the case of a 9-year-old girl Shanti Devi of...
Point well taken. Since I didn't write it I copied it the way it was written.
Now if I were to write it, I would start by Christian Fundalmentalists don't believe in reincarnation........
There is a difference for sure.
Thanks so much for your response Tinkerman.
I should have made my above post a little clearer. Sorry for the confusion.
The fact is the bold lettering is what I have been taught by my christian family members and church. I was quoting someone who had made a post on a blog.
However after...
Here is a christians' take on reincarnation.
Christians don't believe in reincarnation—but I hope you'll understand why we don't, because a very important truth is behind our conviction.
Christians reject reincarnation for two main reasons. The first is because the Bible does not teach it...
How many people believe in reincarnation?
Statistics world-wide are difficult to obtain, but in the US the Gallup Organization made a survey in October 2001 of Americans' belief in psychic and paranormal phenomena. For this survey, they asked adults 18 and over amongst other things if they...
I agree totally. If you look at the polls over the years the rate of believers is climbing.
It is nice to have this forum to discuss this topic and to read about different cases.
The James Leninger case is one of my favorites. There is no way he could know the things he does without having...
Nice post. I agree with you.
A poll taken recently, shows only between 20 to 25 percent of americans believe in reincarnation.
I have been having a (friendly) debate with a friend who is a christian about this subject. He continually throws scripture at me to defend his position. Of...
Thanks for starting this thread. I have learned much about WW 1. I have studied the second world war, but was not that familiar with this one.
I can't imagine the stress these men and women went through. Whether going "over the top" out of the trenches to their likely death, or flying...
That siren sound definately is scary.
I had some childhood memories that certainly made me think I was involved in the war.
I was always terrified of thunderstorms, mainly I think because it triggered prior memories associated with bombings. I went to summer camp as a kid, and it triggered...
Interesting story. Thanks for sharing.
Since I do not know your age, I am interested to know whether your father survived WW2 or both have reincarnated into a new life time.
Wonderful thread. Thanks to all that posted.
I can relate to the common theme here. Not afraid of death. But afraid of the pain/way of dying. Also the unknown part is a concern. What if something goes wrong and I don't end up where I am suppose to!cover face
That is where the trust...
