    You don't know that.   You just cannot remember, maybe.

    Reincarnation, also called transmigration or metempsychosis, is the concept that the soul, or some aspect of the soul, is reborn into new lives. Depending on the religion or philosophy, the soul can appear incarnate in humans, animals or plants as it works its way toward an eventual escape from the cycle of birth, death and rebirth. Most religions that believe in reincarnation consid­er it the path to purity and salvation.

    ­Reincarnation is widely accepted by the major Eastern religions -- most prominently Hinduism and Buddhism. It also has a history in ancient Greek philosophy. However, for people more familiar with the major monotheistic religions -- Christianity, Judaism and Islam -- the idea of reincarnation seems foreign and maybe even a little strange. That's because Christianity, Judaism and Islam conceive of time linearly. Life is simply a short step that determines the quality of an afterlife. For those who believe in only one life followed by an eternal afterlife, reincarnation is like an unwieldy marathon run by relay instead of a short, concise sprint.

    A few.  Now we have Trump in bed with Putin.   How that came to be is beyond my abilities to unwind.

    I believe it is the year this country entered world War 1. This was supposedly the war to end all wars. Unbeknownst to mankind, this was only the beginning of the time of the end as described in the bible. (Matthew 24:3,7,8) This post was edited by Autumnleaves at June 10, 2017 12:00 AM MDT
