No, I would rather just not die in the first place.


And if you become a victim of gang-stalking, you will be gang-stalked for eternity?
Not my cuppa tea. :mrgreen:

If you get born again, would it really even be you...seems like your existence still ends because your reborn self may not really be 'you' so basically the idea of being reborn doesn't really sound like a better deal, also you then have to die all over again if you get born again.


I think the assumption is that it is your 'consciousness' that is 'reborn'. 8)


Idk why I'd be getting gang stalked necessarily if there was a way to prevent death.

And yeah maybe it would be my consciousness, but if don't remember anything and have a different life that would still pretty much just a different person.


The assumption is, that you will retain your previous memories, otherwise, what is the point? 8O

I think it would be alright to be reborn if you could carry on some sense of what you have learned in a previous life or multiple lives. The idea being that you could learn, grow, become a more well rounded human being, more perspective, understanding, so on, with the help from time not just over one life, but many. Hm. That could be neat.

However, I don't really think that happens. Still, it's interesting to think on.

So my answer is yes and no. If it was possible to build on past experiences from another life, then yes. If not, then no.

edgar cayce believed the whole point of life is to learn on top of what was learnt in previous lifetimes, at a subconscious or unconscious level.

There are cases of people retaining specific memories into their next lives, but the usual case is just great ease in re-learning a skill. Of course, this works both ways - if you have regressed and wasted a life, hardship will find you.
