In that case it looks like you're destined to return as Gordon Brown, Monsieur King.  |

I've always been an "ItDoesn'tMatterIST" in that I think, if you believe in something and allow your morality and values to be based on that, you may well find yourself behaving unreasonably.
However, the concept of reincarnation is interesting.
I quite like the philosophy (mine) that you come back as the person you most despised and loathed. So a racist, bigotted heterosexual will return as a gay black liberal. That way, you tend to behave better. |

as I commented in another thread...I have a very good friend in town who is a NASA scientist and this question of reincarnation arose over dinner.
Once you start to talk to a scientist about their work..or they yours..it becomes quite bizarre.
I believe in spiritualism and...lots of other isms (social...) and he the opposite.
So apart from telling me amazing stuff about the current Mars mission etc etc ( this bloke was part of the team that discovered Mars once had water)...I asked him about 'infinity' as I cannot conceive of it.
Nor could he !!!...and he explained it thus...that as there are a hundred billion stars in this galaxy...and stars are what they are studying at present...and then a hundred billion galaxies (or more) in this universe...that no scientist will contemplate what is outside our universe or 'infinty' as it is such a difficult concept that it troubles their mind too much and diverts from more pressing problems.
And Richard Dawkins and the Sceptics believe they know it all !!  |
