Do you believe in Reincarnation?

[bisan-unsa]

---

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 it must be punished or what i say counter-recurrence of one's karma... but it takes at least one kappa before his physical reborn...

[Soul Doctor]

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...

What?
There is no justice there.

Karma is about justice.
If you are a thief how could becoming a cop, give justice to your old wrong doing?
Its like making a saint out of a sinner.

[elhombrecoronado]

yap. i strongly believe. for additional reference, pls. read JTL's books.

[Existanz]

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

Disagree ko as usual..hehehe..

"I've been here before": the déjà vu feeling

RITA CARTER

MOST PEOPLE – TWO OUT OF THREE according to surveys - have experienced déjà vu. It is that weird sensation of having “been here before” or having “lived this moment already”. You may be talking to a stranger, for instance, and suddenly feel that your conversation is a replay, word for word, of a previous one. Or you may be visiting some entirely unfamiliar town and “realise” that you have been right there, in that precise spot, at some other time, even though you know it is impossible. The feeling goes way beyond any vague sense of having seen or done something similar before – it feels identical to a past experience. Yet trying to pin down the memory is like trying to catch a dream – just as you think you are homing in on it, it turns to vapour.

The eeriness of has led to all sorts of spooky theories. One popular one is that it is evidence of reincarnation – a bit of a past life “breaking through”. Others believe it is the memory of a dream in which the person has lived through the current moment in advance. In recent years, however, neuroscientists have discovered enough about perception and memory to piece together a more plausible explanation.

Every conscious experience we have is “constructed” by our brain out of lots of different components, rather as a car might be made in a factory. We tend to think of an event as a bundle of sensations: sight, sound etc, but there is actually much more to it. If you (literally) bump into someone in the street, for example, you will be aware of the sight of them, the touch of them as you bump, the sound each of you make and so on. But you will also be aware of the meaning, tone and intention of the sound, the pain from the bump, a sense of irritation or embarrassment; a thought, perhaps, that you, or the other person, is clumsy, and so on….. There is much more to experience than simple sensations.

One, very important “component” that often gets added is a sense of familiarity. This is generated in the deep part of the brain that creates emotions. The sense of : “ah yes! I recognise this!” usually only gets attached to experiences which “match” stored memories. Sometimes though, the part of the brain which generates the feeling of familiarity becomes “trigger happy” and attaches the feeling to an experience that is actually quite novel. This is what seems to happen in déjà vu. The brain then tries to dig out matching memories, but of course, they aren’t there – hence the maddening feeling of chasing shadows.

For most people déjà vu is a rare and fleeting phenomenon, intriguing rather than disturbing. And it doesn’t seem to be unhealthy – indeed, déjà vu is most commonly reported by people who are young, intelligent, well-educated and wealthy. Given that it is actually a minor brain malfunction, this may seem strange. The explanation may be that young brains are more “recognition sensitive ”, so they are more easily triggered into familiarity mode. Similar sensitivity may also be a factor in intelligence – bright people “see things” quickly, meaning they get that “ah-ha!” feeling more readily than others. And intelligent people tend to go on to higher education and thus become wealthy. So déjà vu may be a side-effect of having a brain that is quick to recognise things.

For an unfortunate few, though, déjà vu is a constant companion, and a serious blight on their lives. Dr Chris Moulin is a psychologist at Leeds University who is studying this strange disorder. He first came across it when he was working in a memory clinic: “We had a peculiar referral from a man who said there was no point visiting the clinic because he’d already been there, although this would have been impossible. Déjà vu has developed to such an extent that he had stopped watching TV - even the news - because it seemed to be a repeat, He even believed he could hear the same bird singing the same song in the same tree every time he went out.”

Apart from the Groundhog Day tedium of chronic déjà vu, the condition can also get people into social difficulties. “Some patients feel that everyone they meet is familiar and this makes them dangerously trusting of strangers,” says Moulin. “If they don’t constantly remind themselves that the sensation is false they are at risk of being exploited.”

So next time you find yourself “re-living” an experience, don’t struggle to recall the previous time. Just sit back and relax. And make sure that you don’t sign on the dotted line until the moment has passed.

This is just one explanation in science and yet it does not answer the whole truth of the matter because even normal people like you and me and children experience this de ja vu feeling and it even goes beyond rational explanation for how can you explain a thing or event that has happened already or will be happening in the future that you have already saw before in your dream? sounds familiar and yet the brain processes information such as logic and memory but it is the mind that recognizes the whole concept of experience and not the brain for the brain is just an instrument of the mind.

I did have experience like this but mostly when I was a little bit younger, probably during the last year in my high school and mid-way into college...now, wala naman Reg..even dreams are hard to come by...once I experience a dream nga nahulog daw ko's gikan sa taas nga building, sa rooftop, I could see the world below me as I fall down but my mind saw the whole thing as not real because I was waiting for the pain and sound of my crash in the pavement but it seems it is taking so long...I said to myself this is just dream..pfft! I wake up! After that medyo nagka-anam na ug kawala ang mga dreams nako, now zero na gyud..

That was a nice experience though.

If you are really serious about knowing your PAST LIFE, you might want to try REGRESSION THERAPY!

unsa man nang Regression Theraphy? unsaon man na siya and den asa man na..need pa ba ta ana muadto wherein naa jud na siya nga theraphy or pwede ra na nga kita2 ra? Yeah i am very serious about my past. there were times nga i think dili nako normal, id experience de javu many times but dli man gud kay kana ra ang akong na encounter. der was also a woman, i really dnt recognize her and she said dat i am such a mysterious person. i asked her "ngano" and she answered nothing but only stared at me. I am still searching about it until now but could not find where and how.
