h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Have been thinking about re-incarnation and wondered if anybody has any personal experience. I read a couple of books years ago - both relating peoples experiences under hypnosis. One book was about memories of past lives and the other was concerned with where we go to between lives. I found both books fascinating.

I take my use glassed to the bottle bank and use recycled paper, that's as close I ever expect to get to re-incarnation unless I'm eaten alive over the course of few months.

I have a psychic friend who has given me some past life readings. Most interesting one was as a musician with a Russian circus. Apparently my friend Scott was a bear trainer in that lifetime. I sang and played violin. Have never tried violin in this lifetime.

I'm not always sure I believe in past lives, but I think it is a distinct possibility.

I believe in something called eternal recurrence, which is similar except we just live the same life over and over again, a bit like groundhog day. It has been around for years, but has been mostly talked about by the likes of Ouspenski and Nietche.

There is alot of evidence for re-incarnation, but it usually gets broken down when examined. There are still one or two unexplained cases, but it is heavilly outwieghed by all of the re-incarnated Egyptians, First World War Soldiers and Marylin Munroes.

I think that there is a TV program on this week about it.

So what is the point of 'Eternal Recurrence' then?
