Any Spiritual Thoughts?

[Krokus]

I have been thinking alot about life lately, what are your thoughts in general about life? I am serious, when I heard the song "Parabola" by the band TOOL, it made me think a bit. -"This body, this body holding me, this body holding me reminds me of my own mortality" Thus, I thought of a good question.....do you believe the theory of re-incarnation?? Interesting eh? 😎

just an endless cycle?

Hindus in India who have put faith in Jesus have reportedly said, "Finally, I am free from the endless cycle of re-incarnation."

I guess that is just one outcome of the theory.

I don't know, Omega. I've heard a friend propose the concept that everyone's a Hindu whether they acknowledge it or not if re-incarnation is true. There's nothing that says the re-incarnated soul has to keep coming back as a Hindu. His theory is that each soul spends a turn as a Christian, a Jew, a Muslim, a Hindu, a Buddhist, a Shintoist, a Pagan, an Atheist, an Elvis-ite, etc. until the soul understands all the myriad paths to Enlightenment. If nothing else, it's an intriguing theory to ponder over pancakes in a New Jersey diner at 2 AM.

I don't see anything wrong with re-incarnation as a concept. We know from the Laws of Physics that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, so it would make sense that the energy of life, the soul if you will, is conserved and changes to some other form upon leaving the body.

BTW, it's interesting to see Krokus & Omega's sigs juxtaposed like this.
