Am curious, supposing you passed over and had a choice to come back as something or someone, who or what would you be? And if you like tell us why.

I don't think I believe in reincarnation.
But since I am a bit bored and no one is replying I thought I might add something.

We live in a time were the progress in many fields (such as technology, medicine) is so huge that not many of us can even follow it. Everything goes so fast. I want to know what our world will look like a thousand years from now. Thats probably the only reason why I would want to return in this world alone. Because I don't think it would be as much fun as the moment we are living in, not without our families and friends.

I would want to be a human being, since that's where my expertise/experience is ;) and hopefully we are still at the top of the food chain ;).
Another important aspect is the preservance of memories of my present life.

But you didn't write about your view.

I agree with erval...coming back to see the world in just even 50years is worthwhile...but for me...I dont want to come back as a human...or even alive...

i wanna be a ghost floating around...where people cant see me and I can see them...go to places where i can never go to...haha. And who knows...explore the world by flying around...

Actually people, regardless if you believe in reincarnation or not. Reincarnation beliefs are all over the world. It comes from India, Asia, Christianity, American Indian Myths, Greek Mythology and others. However, it must be understood that people come back to the world to finish their ordeals and learning that they needed to acquire.

According many belief human beings are reincarnate to meet perfection. (whatever perfection means).

Christians do not believe in reincarnation. People live and died only once.

Everyone will pass away then all will be judged simultaneously.

No judgment happened until now.

Christianity do believe in reincarnation and incarnation. In the bible which is the cradle of christian belief. Jesus is the reincarnated, Moses and is the incarnation of God. On the same time, Christianity suggest that when you die you live again in heaven or hell depending on the things you do in earth.

Heaven and Hell beliefs can be related to karmic consequences. Thus, for me Heaven and Hell are situational karmic consequences that you experience in the next life. (whether it exist or not

below is a small piece from his web page
---------------------------------------------
Ian Stevenson is the former head of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Virginia, and now is Director of the Division of Perceptual Studies at the University of Virginia. He has devoted the last 40 years to the scientific documentation of past life memories of children from all over the world and has over 3000 cases in his files. Many people, including skeptics and scholars, agree that these cases offer the best evidence yet for reincarnation.

If i had a chance to come back, i'd choose to be a ghost buster to officially arrest any ghost flying around the world. :hehe: just kidding. I'm a Buddhist, so i do believe in reincarnation. In my country, there are many cases of people with previous life memory and those with future memory, as well.
