If reincarnation is true the real question is why. Why keep coming back to this existence? We're not allowed the barest memory of what happened before. If we are supposed to learn something how can this be done if we start with a "clean slate" each time? So, what's the point?
Given my "druthers", I choose to go elsewhere when my time is up on this particular go round. Do we have a choice? If not, why not? If there is no choice. What's the point?

If we are just constantly recycled where do new "spirits/souls" come from. Bringing new beings to this existence for nothing more than constant recycling makes very little sense.

Yeah, they are legion.

I keep waiting for someone to report that they weren't Cleopatra or royalty in their previous life.

Looking at the population numbers, how many do you think there are?

Statistically speaking, not even everyone alive right now could have been able to have a past life. (We'd need to include other worlds or animal manifestations to keep the numbers stright; but none of regressors mention their previous lives as a hen or as an Ewok to make up the differences.)

Also, how do you know the people doing another round of life aren't being punished? Maybe it's a bad thing. Maybe it's a sign that all those former Pharaohs and queens should not be listened to, since they blew it so badly the first time and are repeating a grade.

I mean, If ya got recycled for a repeat life, then maybe it's a sign you sucked at it the firt time around and you're in the spiritual equivalent of summer school doing make up work.

Watch out for those past life people, they may be developmentally disabled, not enlightened!

KBK, do you know the percentage of people who do past life regression 'discover' a past life?

Nearly 100%.

Doesn't that make you wonder? The numbers don't add up.

Also, where's all the past-life hired help?

Given the statistics, how many examples have you seen of people doing past life regression and then saying, "Nope, not me, this is my first time through?"

About zero?

Funny, there should be scads of people on round one.
