The Jew in the Lotus
Reincarnation, Life Before and After This Physical Existence

How to you think about reincarnation?
Do you have to do it all now or do you have a thread of lifetimes?
pg 88 (The Jew in the Lotus)
What determines whether an angel in the next rebirth will be a bird or an animal? What is the main factor? Buddhists call it karma." - The Dalai Lama on how rebirth works in Jewish Doctrine.
Why do bad things happen to good people?
Are there such a thing as bad things?
"Serious Buddhists consider the theory of karma a science."
"Beginning with the simple idea of cause and effect; that is every action produces a consequence, teachings about karma confirm that there is an ultimate overall economy of actions. In the long run good actions will produce good consequences for those who do them, and likewise bad actions will produce bad consequences. Since this is not immediately obvious in the world we live in, karma in Buddhist thought presupposes rebirth. The long run includes life after life in various bodily frames, not only human, but also as animals, hell creatures and devas. Rebirth is the Buddhist explanation of why bad things happen to good people. Our actions in one life plant seeds that may not flower or bear fruit until future lives."
"For the Buddhist the goal of purification practices, such as prostration and reciting of mantras, is to release one from the negative effects of previous actions, to purify bad karma."
What is the goal of the Jewish system?
What are your thoughts on reincarnation?
"Each soul has to create a garment. And each incarnation, each remanifestation, we make a little more or we undo a little more. ultimately the goal is to complete the garment, which is a garment of light when it is finished. And some incarnations, we do more damage, we pull more threads out, in other incarnations we put more threads in. So how we are remanifest depends on what we have done in the past." - Rabbi Jonathan Omer-Man.
"The two mystical systems of rebirth appeared to have remarkable degrees of similarities."
What if you thought you might be reincarnating in Syria or North Korea or a future environment? Would it change how you think and act today?
Are there lessons to be learned from past Life Regression? Whether you believe in past lives, reincarnation or not?

Neurotheology: The Intersection of Mind, Body & Spirit
1650: René Descartes stops thinking and dies. Thanks to Descartes we live in a world where people think of mind, body, and spirit as separate. He is famous for saying, “I think, therefore I am.”
