Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Past Life Reincarnation Not Such A New Thing

By Alistair Macdonald


Many people thing that with the New Age religions that are coming out past life reincarnation is something new. This is nothing of the sorts. Just the opposite is true. This idea that you were once something else and are now this human form has been around for quite some time. It started with the idea of Buddha.

There are two common religions that have warmly accepted this idea. These were the Buddhists as well as the Hindus. The biggest of believers are those with a Chinese background. However as the New Age movement is sweeping through nations upon nations, this idea is becoming even more widespread.

People of those cultures have a long line of ancestors believing this theory that you die and come back as something else. Many say that you come back because you have unfinished business. Others will tell you that you will come back no matter what. This means whether you have passed peacefully or not.

Others find this a little too good to be true. They think that once you are gone you are gone. They cannot fathom how someone could actually believe in this. Therefore, they question those who do believe to get the answer of how this could be. How do you know what you were? These are the true questions they ask.

For those who do believe, they take great comfort in knowing that this life is just the journey to another life. They look for ancestors everywhere they walk. The simplest tree could be a cousin who has passed. It's something like the Lion King. We all become something else.

If you feel that this has occurred, then they say that you need to really focus. That when you start to recall times of the former life that you once lived, this can help you through the hard times that you are facing in this time and life. For some, this is rather confusing. For others though, this is so normal.

For those who do believe, they commonly find that those who meditate can often remember as to who they were in a previous life. This is just a tip for those who feel that they do believe in this concept, but who might not necessarily remember what it was they were or the previous life in which they lived. For some people, their religion will help with this, if not there are tutorials out there that cna help you with such a task of remembering.

Whether you believe or not, this concept of reincarnation is becoming more wide spread. While there are many who don't bleieve in this and feel that the people who do believe in this only do so because they want something to help them through tough times, who are we to judge? It's nothing new. It's been around for a number of years, more are just accepting it.
