I voted yes. Even though I know I wouldn't remember anything from this life, I would like the chance to do things over and I've always felt senses of deja vu were the result of having lived something like it before. Of course, I also have an off the wall theory that reincarnation is real, but we are simply reborn into the same life in a different universe and that's where deja vu comes from. So, there's that.

But the reborn person, in a different body, with different experience, won't really be me.

I have not voted as am undecided. There is no way whatsoever would I ever want to go through the years that I was at school and collage again. No way would I ever ever want to do that. Horrible experiences in life. No child should be punished in such a way like that.

But I would like to correct past mistakes. Oh boy, would I love to have the chance to do this again, and I would also love to meet the loved ones who have passed away. To tell them I love them! My Grandad... My Dad.

Yes, I'd like to be born as an extroverted and socially skilled NT with lots of real friends, good looks and sporty skills.

I do believe you come back as another living person, animal or even insect. But obviously it's not you. ''You'' are someone else, totally irrelevant to the person you are in your current life. So basically you don't have another life after you die, because you won't be you. You'll be another soul looking out of another pair of eyes (or several eyes if you're a fly or a spider), in another body, only having one life.

It's a paradox really.

Yes -- only and only if there is something else I've yet to learn and observe. Though, I would rather have a body that would serve myself and others better...
I'd like a mind that could piece the bigger picture and act on it, I wanna be in control -- autistic or not.
Very likely to happen if I never get to attain that state where I've felt so free for very long -- which is entirely possible in this current life.

No -- only if I did learned something in this life enough to move on.
And only if I no longer have the desire to know what it was like to have such mind and capability -- in other words, either through fulfillment or the will to move on. Along with my fighting chances that 'wish' comes true because it happened, why not again and in long terms? Who knows?
Very likely to happen if I get to figure my own predicament though -- that is attachments and distractions at the moment.

No.

I would like to have my mind/soul/spirit/katra/whatever transferred into another body before this body dies.

I don't believe in reincarnation.

But----I would like it if the lessons learned in THIS life transferred over to my NEXT life. If there is a NEXT life.

It depends on the life, time, and situation I’d be born into.

I don’t want to be reborn back in the Middle Ages during the time of the plague.

I don’t want to be reborn as a dung beetle, either.

Anyone object to a ribald joke?
I'll come back tomorrow and tell it if not. :twisted:

I'm ambivalent about it, despite being a Christian. All I can do is strive to be virtuous; this is the way to ensure an afterlife one at least won't bemoan.

Half the time I'm not even sure that I'm glad I was born in the first place

bugger! I voted No but have changed my mind.

Why not , I don't think I've suffered enough :twisted:

I find it puzzling why someone would report this thread ?
