Searching For The Science Behind Reincarnation

[2naSalit]

51. This is a facinating topic

and one I have read a lot about for - reasons of avoiding harassment I won't get into detail. I have studied a lot about cultures of the world and have a degree in cultural anthropology so these things do fall into that category.

Numerous cultures have been aware of this phenomena for millennium. The Bon, the Buddhists, Hindu, and others have considered reincarnation a normal facet of the life/death cycle. the Tibetan Book of the Dead, for instance, is a series of time delimited instructions for the soul of the deceased in navigating the nonphysical realm in order to find its way back to physical form; instructions read aloud to the body of the dead immediate;y following departure such that it can still hear the instructions as the soul or spirit is thought to remain in the vicinity of the body for a day or more. There are further instructions for those souls reluctant to leave their families and physical identities behind and they are not all that pleasant.

So this isn't all that surprising outside of the fact that it is becoming a topic of research in the scientific realm of inquiry.

Cool post, by the way.
