Karma and reincarnation?

Great Debates

yes and yes.
karma is just the old adagio: “whatever you comes back to you” There is a proverb like that in almost any language:
you reap what you sow
wie wind zaait zal storm oogsten
qui sème le vent réecolte la tempête

witches (wicca) even state it comes back to you threefold, so be careful :wink:

Reincarnation, well, there are religions that believe in reincarnation, the continuity of the soul. I personally think it’s a great idea, as it makes you take responsability for your life. I know people that explain “talent” like that, stating that talent is a skill you have picked up in one or more previous lives, and shows up again in the one you’re in at the moment.

I know a lot of people consider it BS, but I just go with my gut feeling :wink:

I don’t believe in the threefold law. I believe it is just 1 for 1, but I also believe that any further suffering is unnecessaryonce the lesson has truly been learned.

To clarify - Christianity originally contained Reincarnation. Christ taught reincarnation. I’ve heard people say that it was removed from the Bible when the church started charging for sin removal.

Judaism also contains Reincarnation - if you read the Jewish mystical book - the Kabbalah.
