I'm officially Agnostic, I believe in God but not the Bible or Organized religion.

That is how my dad is to. He don't believe in no religion and says all people are spiritual and he does believe something happens when we die but he don't believe in no Hell for nobody and he says maybe we return to being one big super soul or maybe we get reincarnated. You no what the truth is though is my dad is more good then lots of people who say they are Christians. My dad acts more like Jesus then lots of them people in a church.

How do you see God? It is our differences that make things interesting.

How do you see God? It is our differences that make things interesting. For context, you have to understand that I am part Native American and our belief system is very different. I believe in the Creator, that there is some celestial energy of some kind that created the world. However, I also believe in Energies and Spirits and reincarnation. Every time a being dies, a new life is born whether it is in the form of human, animal, or plant.

Do you believe reincarnation is random? Is it based on what your soul needs to learn or is it based on karma?

Have you ever met someone that you just knew in your soul that you have met them before or knew them before even though you just met? That is soul bonding reincarnation.

I find reincarnation fascinating and I find the studies done by Ian Stevenson to be difficult to refute. Have you read any of his books? He doesn't do hypnotism but validates spontaneous memories in children. Fascinating stuff. Your soul bond, how does this happen if you can come back as a plant? I think (and I may be very wrong in my thinking) Buddhism doesn't subscribe to the belief that you can only come back as a person. I find that position uncomfortable. I'm not coming back as a plant. Although I could buy into the idea that my ex was poison ivy in a past life. In your belief is there an end to reincarnation? Are we trying to achieve a final destination? Fascinating stuff.

There is an end to reincarnation, it continues until the soul is ready to leave this plane and move to the next. I have not read his books but I'll look for them.

I don't know how it works exactly, it's just the belief we share in my people. Not necessarily people becoming plants that was just an example lol.

Hmmm......here's an interesting thought.....your parent comes back as a tulip or a rose (take your pick) and the child comes back as a dog. Former child meets former parent and pees on flower while thinking....this is for all the things you never let me do.
I wonder if those times when you meet someone and take an instant dislike to them is because you crossed paths before. Is intuition really experiences from a past life?
Reincarnation doesn't mean someone can't be a Christian. There's mention of it in the Bible.

Kittykat is the next plane like Heaven or something?
You know what I don't like about reincarnation? I don't want to come back and get a different family and it makes me feel kind of sad to think about walking by mom and not knowing she used to be my mom. I don't know. I like thinking that I got my forever family for all of eternity.
