One minute I believe in it. The next I'm not so sure. Whats your take on it? If you believe your spirit lives on when you die and the spirit comes back to talk to a medium then how come you can be reincarnated into a new person/animal/whatever when you die as well? It baffles me. Unless we are having paralell lives??? Past lives baffle me as well. I kind of believe in that as well but I suppose i won't find out for good untill I snuff it lol

Done some reading into it in the past. Still not sure. I would hope it's not true.

I read, somewhere, that we cannot all have had a previous life in human form, because there are more people alive today than have ever lived. I think also, that people who believe that they can be contacted by the dead, via a medium, would not believe that you are re-incarnated as an animal, or a tree, or something. It's an interesting subject, probably because we can never know the answer. Not in this life anyway!!

I do believe that after you die your spirit lives on, but reincarnation who knows? Cath

i think it exists lou.read in the paper taht this women met her husband.total attraction they hit it off.she felt as though she had known him all her life but there was something there that terrified her.a friend put her onto someone that could regress her and it turned out her hubby had murdered her in a past life!scaryxxxxxxxxxxxxx(((:

My understanding is as follows, Once a human being, always a human being. There are more lessons to be learnt than can be learnt in one lifetime. The spirit has to go on because the spirit is energy. Energy cannot die it can only change. Of all the people who have passed to spirit only a small percentage make contact. This can be for various reasons, reincarnation being just one. A lot of people will disagree with this view but as I always say, 'if you are right then I won't know anything about it, If I am right you are going to get a lovely surprise' Vivienne

Ruby that is the belief of the medium who runs my psychic development course. It made me think again. I do find it fascinating though. louise xx

How about the walls that have been wired for sound, and recorded sounds and music from the past?

That's fascianting how images and and sounds can be 'recorded' in walls and things. Residual energy is the fancy word for it. I predict this century to be a time of great discovery in the field of the supernatural.

The electronice voice phenomena is a fascinating subject as well.

I was once skeptical but have found so much circumstantial evidence that I am convinced. Len

I believe in reincarnation and what Vivienne said pretty much summed up what I believe, I think. I don't believe that there is any one path - I believe that some people are reincarnated and that others go on to somewhere else (wether it be Heaven or whatever) and others again get trapped, hence ghosts. Ive always had this feeling that I have lived before and have had a fascination with history ever since I was very young. I think we are on a journey and that this life is just one part of it - another lesson to be learned? Kaye x

Why complicate the subject -we come from somewhere and so must go somewhere,like a plant that grows from a seed.The plant lives,then dies but its substance returns back into matter. See it all as a process of recycling.Our vanity as the human species makes us elaborate a process that existed always.We are organic matter,carbon,hydrogen and oxygen,and most matter is a combination of these elements,in different patterns a ratios. The human spirit is a notion created by ourselves,and is theorised by ourselves with no knowing how this compares to similar possibilities for other creatures.What seem to be the most complex issues and ideas or problems probably have the simplest of answers and explanations. Think of the elephant that stays at the side of its stillborn young for days, the dog that stays by the side of its deceased master,and the horse that tries its best to avoid stepping on a jockey that has fallen in front of it.

Ruby There are about 600 million people in the world. Homo sapiens has been around for 40 thousand years. If a generation dies every 25 years how many dead people is that? len

Len There are 1bn or more in china, about 4 billion in the world. I think India has 600 million. David

You're right Davo. I should have said 6000 million - but the arithmetic is still interesting. How many died in the last 100 years do you think? len

Hi Len & Davo - I got these figures from www(.)census(.)gov: The estimated population for 26 September 2005 is 6,469,002,888. The UN (1993) estimated in the year 1 there were between 300,000,000 and 400,000,000 people in the world. John D Durand suggests that the population stood at 345,000,000 at the end of the 1st Millenium (this is the highest estimate for the period. More to follow shortly...

Hi guys, The estimated figure for 1750 - 795,000,000; 1850 - 1,265,000,000; 1950 - 2,515,000,000. Apparently, and I didn't realise this, the whole subject (of population, not of re-incarnation) is fraught with political, and religious, undertones. So, I think I'll leave it there.

Do people not think that the reason people believe in Reincarnation and such like is because they cannot bear to think we arrive, we live whatever we are able in time to live and then we die, that's it, nothing more nothing less no lasting trace. Unless you leave offspring which means memories & such like or you leave something like in the Arts or maybe an invention whatever makes the famous famous. To the ordinary working class people ie the majority of the people of this World they will leave NOTHING but their offspring and the memories and treasured pocessions. There is nothing to make them stand out, and that is the basis for such beliefs, some people want to stand out from the crowd they want to think they are special or different but we are not. We are only special and different in the hearts of people we really touch. People look for more and try to find a meaning as they feel its better than leaving nothing of themselves for others to remember and to live and die with not too much in the great scheme of things. Just my thoughts it's late better go before I keep on talking to myself lol. Pat x

louise Have you ever read anything about the beliefs of the Native North Americans and the Aborgines? Very similiar in their way but totally primitive too as both like we used to believe in all the spirit world and so forth. Worth reading still whether like me you were not convinced and never will be or are just interested in such things :-) Pat x
