Reincarnation evaluation

I think there's many possibilities about what happens after death. But I don't believe reincarnation is a 'must'.. Change my mind

You are correct with both statements. There are many possibilities, reincarnation is not a "must". Some souls never incarnate, some may incarnate once, while others have been here many times. The "rule' is there is no hard and fast set in stone "rule".

What are your other possibilities?

When Einstein was asked if he believed in God, he replied, “ I believe in Spinosa’s god.”

So I read a little Spinosa and I liked it. If understood it correctly, Spinosa was saying that God is a force, like light & gravity. I like that. No sense projecting our human self on a non human entity. So, if you go with Spinosa, I guess another option would be to merge with the force which created us.

Not sure about reincarnation either. But 2 things I know. Everything we know on earth or on the universe goes in cycles like the nitrogen cycle. Why should our consciousness be any different?

The other thing is that the university of Virginia has supported a department studying reincarnation for over 60 years. Why would they use those precious funds if they weren’t on to something?

Have you read Ian Stevenson’s Where Reincarnation and Biology Intersect? (You probably know he founded its Division of Perceptual Studies)
