Opinions on .....

[Medusa]

It is an interesting subject. I would like to think that the good people who lived go on somehow, that their spirit goes on.
And the animals for sure. I have heard some people say they want to come back as a spoiled pampered kitty, all fine and good but bathroom would be an issue and so would the shower. Plus I would hate to be at the mercy of some forgetful or thoughtless home owners who forget to give me fresh water etc....

What you're talking about, Monica, is transmigration and not reincarnation but both include coming back in another life. I'm still on the fence about reincarnation but I do believe in life after death so the possibility of life before death isn't too far out there for me.

Nicole, I don't wish to pry and you certainly aren't required to answer this question: what religion did you walk away from? If you'd rather PM me, I understand or not answer at all, that's ok, too. It is rather a personal question but I have noticed that you've started threads on a variety of subjects that have to do w/religion in one form or another.

I believe that every spirit is an energy and energy never dies. I think it either remains an energy or transforms into another form. I know I've had previous lives when I travelled. When I was in England I knew I'd been there before. I knew my way around certain towns as if I'd been there always. I haven't had any pets reincarnated but I know my Hobbes is still around in energy. Calvin sees him all the time. I believe in spirit/energy.
I hope you find the answers you seek. One thing I don't believe in is organized religion. It's an issue of power and I don't think anyone has the right to tell you what you should believe. It's a personal journey. I hope you find your answers and peace.

I walked away from the Mormon religion.

I walked away from the Mormon religion.

Thank you for answering. I thought that perhaps it was the Mormon religion or Jehovah's Witnesses. I hope I didn't offend you.

You didn't offend me at all.
