Would you choose to reincarnate back on earth if you were given the opportunity?

[haibane]

Well, depends, but likely yes. I really want to see how things unfold over her. Depends what the other choices are (^__~ ) Although I'm not exactly sure about the reincarnation stuff due to a slight Buddhist inclination ...

I almost changed my answer to, "well, if I could come back as a spoiled house cat, with a master, like myself, I would", but then I got a visual of my beautiful fat cat across the room, licking her butt. I guess, with being a human we have the benefit of toilet paper. So I'll stick with my original answer. No thank you.

[sandy]

Well for sure my head and ego say NO WAY!!

However I will be back as my heart says YES WAY !!

[Zor B]

Interesting question........would have to say yes .

[christian]

I find the ride here on earth thrilling and exhilarating. I don't feel like "this is so dense/difficult/heavy/hard". I mean I see how it can be, but it really depends on what choices one makes, there is always an adventurous way of living. Anyways, I don't see the necessity to decide now, where I'm going to go after that, I'll decide when it's time to decide.

Could it be, that some of those complaining and saying "never again as a human on earth" just behave like kids or teenagers saying "I never want to be a smug adult"?
I expect there to be lots of upheaval and lots of work to do and I guess it will be very enjoyable and rewarding to be around, so maybe some complainers change their mind at some point

An Unequivocal HELL NO!!!!!!!!

[Virma De Ris]

I really don't know at this moment. If I go with all the awareness gathered during this current life cycle I'll say no but overall if I find a glimpse of hope then it would be a maybe. I can't say yes just like that simply because compared to other people living on Earth I have an easy life.

All of you that say yes have you considered the fact that you might be saying that because you live an overall easy comfortable life? There are many people in this planet that come to live into pure hell. Ask them if they would reincarnate here. If you were given the chance right now to live a harsh life for a while an have the full on experience of true hardship (pain and suffering both physical, emotional and psychological) would you still be saying that you will be coming back for more?

[NeverMind]

All of you that say yes have you considered the fact that you might be saying that because you live an overall easy comfortable life?

Well, of course. That's why I specified I wanted my Self, my life.
I adore my life. I wouldn't necessarily call it "easy", or "comfortable", for that matter (but that is strictly a matter of opinion, and I am not referring to material circumstances), but I cannot imagine being more blessed. I never wanted to be anyone else, not even as a child.

No doubt that life is hell for all too many people and other living creatures; it is the main reason that sours my own joy of life.
But I wouldn't want to live on any other planet, assuming such a thing were possible.
And I certainly wouldn't want to be an animal - not in this world. Not in man's world. (Although nature can be cruel without any help.)

Perhaps a tree, far away from men. That could be acceptable.
But given the choice, I'd still rather be me.

My only hope (against hope) is that people really do "recycle" their own life - this life - until they get it right. (And then, perhaps, get to enjoy a few more rides just for the heck of it? )

Personally I find all other options undesirable. Except nothing, of course. That at least doesn't hurt.

wanna see the best humanity has to offer or explore

the universe incarnating and learning from other civilizations. I believe each choice

offers ways for higher enlightenment and I think personally I have grown attached

to human kind and wanna see our greatest potential. I'd like to hear other peoples

thoughts on staying or going.

I just wonder white wizard do we have a choice how we get reincarnated if so how come we would choose to go to 3rd world countries and starve to death.Does this offer us higher enlightenment.

I think that in the spiritual world where we were before we incarnated into the physical there are souls waiting on bodies available on Earth. The longest lines by far are the ones where the greatest myseries lie and the shorter lines are bodies who are available for children of the so called rich.

YES, definitely!

[astrid]

Of course.

There is a BIG job here to do,
and not enough people to do it.

If not you then who?
If not now then when?

This "leave to others attitude"
has got us in this mess, too many not willing to
stand up = big mess.
It's childish, and we have to start being grown ups now.

We only have ourselves to blame .
Sorry to say, but its true.

And yes i would come back again and again,
until its all cleaned up.

[gripreaper]

Are you a Bodhisattva?

[astrid]

Hardly.
Just here to do a job.

[MargueriteBee]

I cant make that decision now because I dont see the big picture. I will decide once I am on the other side.

[Prodigal Son]

I would like to do one lifetime as a Rasta man in Jamaica.

All I need is the beach, a hot sun, reggae music, and lots of ganja.

And this is coming from a Sicilian guy from Brooklyn....

[Kindred]

Yes, I might... But, I'd need to review what I've Truly learned in this life, before committing to Any subsequent manifestation, just to insure I choose the correct 'next step'!

Who knows... perhaps I'll be needed somewhere Else! Always an Adventure!

[EnergyGardener]

It occurred to me the answers to the question of this thread could be of two varieties, each providing polar opposite answers:

A. Whether we would choose re-live our current lives; or

B. Whether we would choose to come back in future circumstances.

I answered with the A. assumption. But after reading MargueriteBee's and other's, perhaps many answered based upon B. I agree, that in the case of B, that depends upon a number of factors that I am not privy to at this time, including but not limited to, status of Earth, and full knowledge of my akashic records, pending issues, where I'm needed and how much of a mental vacation I need on my home planet/s.

While it is apparent by many their answer would remain the same for either; it would be good to know for sure.

[Kindred]

I don't believe we get to 're-live' any particular manifestation... just the same, there may be multiple time-lines for each individual 'body'. Who is to say that our particular 'spirit' would be the one incarnated in the other time-lines? Could be multiple 'entities', yes?

I suggest taking each manifestation as it comes, and simply doing the best we can... learn our lessons, then 'realize' what other lessons we need to learn in the next... IMO...

[PurpleLama]

Not only is astrid precisely correct, but aversion to this experience is an energetic bond that will assuredly place a soul right back here, the higher self just shaking it's head. Doing the best one can under the circumstances one finds is the only sure way out, but how many lifetime of lessons has one made for oneself? Hmmmm....

[Selene]

Aaargh....PurpleLama. You dang near gave me heart failure with your new "borrowed" avatar. I love your sense of humor, but good golly....!

Glad to see you're still here and online as usual.

Cheers,
