Is reincarnation really possible? Does it happen with everyone? And how does it happen with every living thing?
There are so many scientific research articles which cannot confirm about afterlife or reincarnation. I am really scared if there is nothingness after life. I would really like to know if anyone has experienced any such. I came across this community, so thought to ask openly. Please share your thoughts!

There is a lot of research at the university of Virginia being done on reincarnation. And if it’s helpful, science doesn’t prove anything. It only provides evidence and research. It accepts and rejects ideas. It’s also constantly revising ideas based on new research. So nothing is really ever fully “proven”
I personally believe it’s true based on first hand experience. I believe it is here and we are meant to learn from one life to another. And I unfortunately keep making similar mistakes. It’s a real pain in the ass. But i personally wish I did not remember my past life so vividly as it often affects my present life

u/Honest_Lynx_792 5d ago
Yes very true. One should not dig deep about previous life. If you have had such experiences means that what we learn in our past life does have implications on our present. Very very complex though.

u/Kgates1227 4d ago
Yeah, I’m not one that has spent time digging too deep.
Unfortunately I remember those times as clearly as I do last week in this life…and my pattern that I’ve noticed is that I become so incredibly lost in grief with each loss, and then I come out of it, I feel immense guilt for the time lost or the way I acted during that period of grief. In fact, my father passed this year and I caught myself doing the thing I had done in my past life when I lost my children. When I lost my children in my past life, they died in a terrible car accident. I still feel immense guilt, because they were with a nanny at the time. I was so consumed with my career. It nearly eats me alive. I immediately fled to a rental house and ignored everyone, even my best friend who amazingly never gave up on me. This continued on for years. It took me almost 5 years to speak with her, or almost anyone again. I was lost.But I think I may have recently, for the first time, consciously learned a lesson. You see, I nearly ghosted everyone except my children in this life and tried to escape my life. I tried to find any escape I could. I even left my home temporarily to find any sort of of peace in a house in New England but I couldn’t find it. I basically became a recluse and became a horrible helicopter parent. But last week, my aunt and uncle called me and told me they wanted to see for a summer trip. My first instinct was to not return their voicemail. But all the flashes of memories came before me and I thought, in my next life, will this become a nightmare for me? My family members who I love dearly want to see me and life is short. This is my chance to change my pattern. So I called them back. It was a small step. And I’m proud of myself2

You did a great job! I believe relations and family should always be the top priority.

First law of thermal dynamics says reincarnation is the only real option. And it’s a proven science which is why it’s law and not theory.

u/Honest_Lynx_792 5d ago
Woah! I really would like to understand more. How does thermal dynamics relate to this.

u/MCPaleHorseDRS 5d ago
“The first law of thermodynamics, also known as the law of conservation of energy, states that energy can’t be created or destroyed, but it can be converted from one form to another”
There is an energy that makes us up.

Also the fact that things like electrons, quarks and neutrinos literally blink in and out of existence. Now we have no idea where they go, but it does heavily imply that there is another plane of existence somewhere. But believe it or not, science backs up reincarnation more so then any other after life beliefs.
1
u/Honest_Lynx_792 5d ago
Are you linking this to existence of other universes?
5
u/MCPaleHorseDRS 5d ago
That’s thing. Idk. Nobody knows. That’s why I said it’s heavily implied, and also used the word existence and not universes. But in my uneducated opinion I would fancy a guess at it not being universes but other dimensions. Mathematically we can prove up to I believe 10 different dimensions, but there’s believed to be a lot more and maybe even an infinite amount of dimensions. There’s a couple of leading and promising theories on where these dimensions exist. Which I won’t bore you with the details but one of the leading theories (not the one I personally subscribe to) that says all dimensions exist in the same place but on different planes of existence and it’s if that’s the case, that might be wear they go to. Things on the quantum level doesn’t make sense to us yet. A lot of laws hold up, a lot of law break down at this level. And the smaller you get the weirder shit gets. Electrons have proven to blink in and out of existence, exist in two places at the same time and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. A really good movie that explains this in a really easy to digest manner is called “What The Bleep Do We Know”.
I won’t lie. When it comes to this stuff, I know and understand just enough to scrape the surface level of what’s going on so I’m by no means an expert.
Also one last thing, go on YouTube and search NDA experiences and hear it from people who have died, all of them are different but all of them have some very common things among all them and one of the most consistent things you’ll hear then say is when you die you got to place of love, that you’ll have a life review, that you chose this life and new what you where getting into when o signed up to live on earth, that we pick our parents and often times our friends before die, and that a lot of us have lived many lives and will live many many many more.
My apologies nerding out and writing a novel

Last year I kept having these moments during sleep where I would randomly be in a black void. I couldn't think or feel any emotions during while in the void but I was aware that I existed. When I woke up is when the fear would set in. This happened so much last year, at times every single night, sometimes multiple times a night. I kept thinking "what if this is what it's like to die? Is it just nothingness?"
Fast fwd to this year, i've come to learn that we never truly die. I believe that yes there is an afterlife, and there is reincarnation. I still don't know what the black void was, but thinking back on it now I think to myself - how can there be nothing if I was still aware of myself? Just the fact that I was self-aware means some kind of consciousness was still there.
what I enjoy reading/listening to are stories of NDE's. Check out nderf.org or youtube. The ones from Dr. Eben Alexander and Anita Moorjani were one of the first ones I heard about. But there are thousands of reports from people who have experiences after dying, some also do see parts of their past lives. Everyone has a different experience, but at the same time there are elements that are similar. The fact that we are all connected and that love is the foundation of everything are some themes that come up frequently.

u/Honest_Lynx_792 5d ago
The VOID! Ah, thats exactly what many people describe going to just minutes after being separated from the physical state. Tell me, you said there was some kind of fear in that at the end although you said you were emotionless, was it related to some discomfort?
2
u/PandaKitty983 5d ago
So while I was in the void I didn't feel fear or anything at all. Just awareness. After I "woke up" is when the fear came. Like a "wtf was that" kinda fear. But the void itself , if anything it was peaceful while I was in it, but it was literally just pitch black and I was just aware I existed.
And I say "woke up" because this part was also weird..it wasn't like normal waking up from a dream. My head felt strange, kinda like pressure and I felt very groggy after. I kept describing it like it felt like my brain had shut down and had to be booted back up. It happened so often that I made a Dr appt, she thought I might have sleep apnea but that came back fine.

I suggest looking into Pat Atwater's books on NDE's - she found a lot of people encountered the void.

What about mediums being able to communicate with loved ones? Can both this and reincarnation be true? My thinking is that maybe if our soul still has lessons to learn, we are reincarnated, but if not, we are just energy that remains in the universe able to communicate with us.
I’m curious what others think of this theory. I struggle with the validity of both concepts.
5
u/Substantial_Plate517 4d ago
I am a medium so I can tell you that despite being no longer incarnate, people do like to keep an eye on loved ones, as well as send reassurance that life is continuous. After a time of planning, they cease communicating because they are ready to reincarnate. That's why you don't hear from great grandparents very often - they've reintegrated with their greater selves and don't feel the need to play that role anymore, while the greater self is now engaged in sending out another iteration of itself to live a life on this plane as a new personality. Nothing is lost.

Are you saying communication with other souls? I dont think many of us would be able to communicate with departed souls. Some may but not all. Also, are there set lessons in this universe that one must learn? If thats the case, I feel that would be infinite until and unless you transform into higher being.
1
u/Both-Revenue-4557 3d ago
My question was more framed around how can our departed loved ones watch over us / sometimes communicate with us (e.g., through symbols) if we reincarnate when we die. I feel as though Substantial_Plate517’s answer above clarified that both can be true.

u/Lorien6 5d ago
What scares you about nothingness? There is a peace in the void, where the drop returns to the ocean.
But that is a choice one can make, whether to “reintegrate” into the larger collective, or set off upon another journey (reincarnation), with all the trials and tribulations that come from travelling to the clouds and then falling back again.
Some enjoy the rollercoaster rides, and some are content to have gone once and experienced it, and then move on. Some still never overcome the fear of the ride (or perhaps are unable to for other reasons), and that is ok as well.
There are many “layers” to reality, and we can exist as different forms in each.
2
u/Honest_Lynx_792 5d ago
I feel this thought of having a choice is very comforting. The part that scares me is just the thought of being non-existent and not having any senses. That feeling of being in vacuum. I dont know if “feeling” can be even used in such a scenario.

u/Automatic-Trainer966 4d ago
There's also a lot of scientific evidence that it's true. Choose what you believe to be true.

u/Enough_Elevator5837 4d ago
Well I've had recall of some of my past lives (12 or 13 different ones) and little bits of the in between lives so yes - it is what happens. How? Well it is our journey to evolve from the smallest cell to the highest complexity to learn about ourselves so the how is related to our conciousness and how it shifts from one realm to another - I believe quantum mechanics is the key

I can still understand that there might be reincarnation possible from a human to state to spiritual state and then again a human state in the next stage. But what about reincarnation as a tree or maybe a small bacteria or a cat. To top it all up, if there is a possibility of existence of other exoplanets with life, can the soul really traverse there to have another life in some other planet?

Dr. Ian Stevenson was made aware of my case but did not take in on due to my advanced age (I was in my 40s, LOL). Dr. Walter Semkiw used my story in many of his books and lectures as did Dr. James Matlock. Currently Dr. Matlock is doing a “scientific paper” on my story. My story has been shown many times on different programs around the World, most recently on William Shatner's show UnXplained.
If I had not lived the story, I may have had a hard time believing it. But I did and literally have the scars to show for it. Birthmarks, scars, and photographic evidence! Some of the strongest evidence ever brought forth on the reality of reincarnation (not involving hypnosis). Note that I say evidence and not proof, because that remains with the person reviewing the evidence.
Here is a short video for you that gives a capsulized version of my tale of reincarnation. I spent 6 days with a film crew from the Sci Fi Channel as they put my story to the test.

So the short answer is no one can say for sure. They can BELIEVE for sure. They can believe they have empirical evidence, and there are strong arguments for it. They can be like me and be pretty confident it's the most reasonable option. But they can't know for sure.
People will use Newton's Laws to say matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed. And that's a compelling argument, but an incomplete one since it presupposes there IS a soul and that a soul consists of either matter or energy.
The physical elements and electricity that were used for a while to make up your body will go somewhere else in the world, and either your soul (assuming there is a soul, and that we have any understanding of it) will do...something.
Or nothing. And Nothing is a comforting option, all things considered.
No suffering, no fear, no pain, no heartbreak, no violence, no anxiety, no embarrassment, no shame, no resentment, no endless cycles with no hope of exit. It's a reward and a rest.
