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

Just wandering what people's opinions are on reincarnation, if people actually have an opinion and if so why or why not

I believe Reincarnation exists, Otherwise how would you explain the feelings of being somehow placed in the wrong era. That is I assume others have this feeling.

I think I know what you mean. But then again, that feeling could also be due to a very rich imagination...what do you think?

I think that that is very possible but I also feel that there are things far beyond your minds imagining. I'm not sure if its possible that the things I feel are imagined. But then again I could be imagining that also!

.....and then there's deja-vu.

That's a tricky one. I'm not sure what to think about that, or whether it's somehow connected to reincarnation...

YES!!!!!!!!!!! When I was a child, I always felt that I had the 'wrong' name (tho' I had no idea what the right one was)and that other things were/are wrong also. F'r instance, I am (was) right handed (weakly right dominant)like all my family,but felt so strongly that I 'should' be left handed, that I became left handed, to the disgust of all my 3rd form teachers. Now, many years later, I am truly ambidextrous. There are other things as well, but it has all faded compared to what it was when I was 5-10 years old...

And then ofcourse their is the feeling that when your doing something and theirs that sudden image that you've done this before somewhere.

Deja vu! (All over again). There is the story of the poet Shelley, on a walking tour of somewhere he had never been - and as he and his friends approached a hill, he started to describe what was on the other side., Well, when they came over the hill, and he saw he was right, he fainted with emotion! (Trust a poet, I've never (yet) fainted in my life.) I just wonder what it all means...

Didn't I already mention deja-vu?

I have a feeling I've been to this thread before
Seriously, I get that feeling all the time.
Too much to be a coincidence.
Sometimes I am in a situation and I think "I've done this before, and I know what's going to happen next..." then it does!
Sometimes the phone rings and I know who it's going to be!

I usually do something, and then I get the feeling it probably won't be the last time that I do that. Most of the times I'm right

I sometimes do the phone thing - and then there's the mail. I 'know' when there's (snail) mail - a lot less than there was b4 I discovered email.. Sometimes I even know who/what the sender is! Have you ever noticed someone's absence? My son (Jimmy) is finally spending nights away, now he's 14 - he would once *never* spend the night away. Well, the whole house feels different when he's away. Even when he's at school, and I get home from work, if I don't know if he's got home b4 me, I can 'tell'. Nowt to do wi' reincarnation, but interesting nonetheless - and sometimes I think I know who Jimmy was!
