Reincarnation / Reencarnacion........

I used to not believe in this... I don't know why I had this romantic idea about once you passed away you go to heaven and reunited with those people you love; that is of course until I started to do research and grow spiritually. I still wish I had this romantic idea of passing away and meeting all those people I love, and even my dogs!... wouldn't that just be amazing? However.... if we make mistakes, lots and lots of them.... hmm, ok let me correct myself, if we are unaware of the consequence of our actions at any given moment in our lives... how can we correct and learn from them if its not coming back to the flesh once again?.

I found this article where they make comparisions with Abraham Lincoln, and John Kennedy and how they lived lives so similar that it can only mean they may be the same soul in 2 different bodies; However what really caught my attention was the beginning of the research where they talk about reincarnation and here is some of what it says:

" A good analogy of the way reincarnation works can be found in the movie "Groundhog Day" starring funny man Bill Murray. In the movie, Bill Murray played a man who suddenly discovered that he's continuously reliving the same day over and over again. Every day was identical to the one before it with the same events happening and the same people saying the same things. The only difference was the man played by Bill Murray who remembered all the previous days and therefore learned to adapt to his strange situation.

" The allegory to reincarnation is how, with each succeeding lifetimes, we must face the same situations and problems that we did in previous lives until we learn from them and overcome them by finally "getting it right." Where reincarnation differs from the movie analogy is that, unlike Bill Murray's character, we do not retain our memories of previous lifetimes at the conscious level. We enter each lifetime with a "clean slate" at the conscious level."

"So this is why it is said that history tends to repeat itself. And those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Concerning divine justice, Jesus said that those who "live by the sword will die by the sword." This is an excellent definition of "karma" and it means that those who do not overcome their problems in one lifetime will have to face these same problems in a future lifetime."
