Might be the case.
I later checked the description of this forum and it said Autism related topics.
I've started posting in the "Random discussion" forum.

I'll put my knuckle-duster away.
For now. :twisted:

If you like, move this poll to the Random Discussion forum.

Tempting.
I'll think about it.
Check-in tomorrow.
Same time.

But if there was a gun against my head, I had considered a bird of flight.
I like the freedom associated with flying.

I had thought of the relative safety of being a hawk or eagle, but slaughtering other animals put me off that notion.
If I was able to roast them on a spit, well that would be an entirely different what-not. :wink:

An afterlife sounds fine, going through this again, does not

If I could be reincarnated as a different species, I'd consider it.

No. If there is indeed some type of heaven / afterlife, I'd just want to hang out with the greats who've gone before me. Either that or I'd like to be a ghost and hang around on Earth invisibly, helping the people I love here.

Is it reincarnation vs. nothing...or reincarnation vs. some post-corporeal existence?

Regardless, I said NO. A new life could be better. It could very easily be worse. After dying, why would I want to come back and do THIS all over again? If there is life-after-death, I've got to believe it's more than just coming back here and doing this again. And again. And again.

I wouldn't want to come back as a slave in chains. But I also wouldn't want to come back as the guy cracking the whip on the slave in chains. Nothing seems appealing in doing it over again.

Side note: Ever hear of reverse reincarnation? It suggests that when we die, we reincarnate in the past (or what is the past to us). If a soul needs X amount of lifetimes to "get it right," and some take longer than others, it would explain why there are so many billions of people alive today, versus a few thousand in primeval times. We reincarnate backwards and the most stubborn of souls, that last batch, keep reincarnating back until the caveman days.

i've lived previous to this lifetime and i expect after passing from this mortal coil in this most recent lifetime, i will live in future lifetimes anew, or as ben franklin said-

The Body...
Like the Cover of an old Book,
Its Contents torn out,
And stript of its Lettering and Gilding,
Lies here (in the grave), Food for Worms.
But the Work shall not be wholly lost:
For it will, as he believ'd, appear once more,
In a new & more perfect Edition,
Corrected and Amended
By the Author.

much has been written about the subject. some say that because there are countless other dimensions besides our own physical dimension, that we could reincarnate in some other dimension, or some other planet in our dimension. past/present/future are simultaneous according to the block universe theory. the past is just another form of space, and spirits could incarnate in the past as well as the future.

I hope I've been good enough to not come back until the world is nice again. I'm not sure that just trying to make it better and minimizing my harm counts, though. Silversmithing came very easily to me in this life, so I hope that some of the engineering I did on this trip will come back, but with communication skills added next time.

in my next lifetime, i am supposed to be somewhat the opposite of what i am now- i will be compact and tautly muscular, athletic, NT, with a similarly constructed wife and two gifted children, i will be a member of some kind of security apparatus for a future government in a northern nation, quite possibly a future canada.

I'd like to come back as a Sweet Pea when peas are pets instead of vegetables. I'd love to be an Om Nom that's part of a loving family. :mrgreen:
