A planet. That would be cool.


Have you read the two-book Doctor Who story "Interference"? In the Third Doctor part of the story, it involves an entity which actually becomes part of a desolate planet at the end and turns it into a lush paradise.

Verrry hard to get. It sells on eBay for a pretty penny, but I'm lucky. I can go down to my library and read it. :lol:

The best argument I've ever heard for reincarnation is, "Everything in the universe is recycled, why nit consciousness?" That's a very good argument, however, when this body I inhabit expires it's going to be put into the ground and broken down into its constituent elements and recycled or reincarnated as plants which will be eaten by animals which will be eaten by other animals. If the same is true of consciousness, then what the Buddha suspected is true. Reincarnation is a valid phenomenon but trans-migration of the soul is not.

You beat me to it. I guess I'd reincarnate as an Arhat with a few serious birth defects. That way, I'd die permanently after only a short time.

Among other things, I'd want to re-incarnate as a crow. I want to know what it's like to fly free.

Can´t tell you what I will become once I reincarnate because nobody can know that. Hovewer, I could tell you whom I think I were. I always wanted to know why I am so damn proud and why I sometimes speak of me in the royal plural (I dunno that I do it, of course). I went to a shaman and he told me that ONCE, I was a king. A very famous king back in the old times, right before of after Christ. He said I was very respected, won many battles, ws kind of wise (merely tactical than wise) and people kind of liked me. But the shaman also said that my problem was I liked to drink excessively and play cards. He said that it was my downfall, and that I wasted all my money. He told me that I lived somewhere in the North. Like I was a Celt or a Viking.

Then I went to a very respected and famous witch. She told me exactly the same things, but said that the thing with the location (the North) was a BS, that I lived in the Meditteranian.

Finally, Iw rote to one American shaman, when he had been previously offering free readings. He said that he had no time for me because he had a whole bunch of pepole waiting for their reading, but referred me to his wife. She was also a shaman, and said she tried various means of divinations on me. She did it ten times, and she went with the explanation I might have lived in a Greece.

Then she wrote me again (she did not have to do it), when I did not request it anymore, and she said that my current life story was interesting. She had done a divination again and then told me I might have been Alexander the Great. Ha! It could fit, I am very good at strategies, I remember being in Egypt or Alexandria, and I LOVE reading about Babylon, but I doubt it somehow in my heart that I was HIM. However, anything is possible. Who knows? 8) I have always liked the same things as he did. And I wanted to have a black horse (like he had) before I even learned about some Alexander the Great 8O

I would wish to come back as a normal human male, born without defects, and into a family that was sane, loving, law-abiding, intelligent, and wealthy.

I'd like to come back as a slug living inside a cabbage plant in my vegetable garden. Slug paradise. :evil:
