Do you believe in Reincarnation?

[regnauld]

---

If there is reincarnation, then a person may say "It is okay if I do not do well in this lifetime, anyway I will be reincarnated, I will still have the chance to improve in the next life." Would not this be used as a mere escape by man to do wrong?

No. Reincarnation is not an escape from reality. We better be careful of our actions because Reincarnation goes hand in hand with the Universal Law of Karma. The Law of Karma or Cause and Effect says that for every action, there is always an equivalent and opposite reaction. When someone does bad deeds, the result is always bad. The same way for good actions. The Law is NEUTRAL. GOD does not punish nor reward. We punish and reward ourselves by the consequences of our actions.

Sabagay. We have our Free Will naman. So what we become later is truly a product of what we do now. And we only got ourselves to blame.

But you don't know what you will be in your next life?
If you decide to do wrong, then you are going to pay for it in your next life.

Example, you decide to be a thief.
So you used your hand to steal.
And you used your feet to escape from your responsibilities.
This means you abused the use of your hands and feet.
When you die, and your soul will return to God.
Your soul will be punished accordingly.

In your next life you will be born without hands and feet.
that is as punishment for being a thief in your previous life.
Now would you want that?
Would you still want to be a thief
if you know this is the end result based on the concept of reincarnation?

i remember someone who tells me that 80% from our life came from destiny and 20% from free will....

not necessarily you will be reborn as no hands and feet, but most probably you will become as a cop or the one who put you in prison... karma is not just an action per se but also physical action, spiritual action, but also emotional or psychological action...

Yes...Action in all aspects. (Mind, Body and Spirit)

Our ultimate destiny is not within the cosmos. It cannot be understood as an experience that any separate "individual" may know.
Our ultimate destiny is to grow beyond all limited conditions, to realize our birthless and deathless Self-nature. This deep ground of being both transcends and includes every individual life and the entire mind-made cosmos, including every realm we may know after death. This destiny is Consciousness Itself, Love Itself, and the Only One Who Is.

no. you can not become a cop.
you have to be punished first.
and you have to suffer as much as your victims had suffered.

Yes they are related. In fact Dejavu is a phenomenon that supports Reincarnation - that we've been here before!

You bet!
