Sometimes I watch a television program about some "ghost hunters" who investigate allegedly haunted places. It's very interesting both to see what they find and what they call "finds". Up till now there has definitely been more of the "what they call finds" than 100% water tight, scientifically proven finds, but still, I find it interesting, actually also to see my own reactions to these maybe-finds.
IF there are ghosts then it means that our "soul" is more than the body and mind of us, it's not even part of our physical death, but somehow lives on after we die. That will be a substantial consolation for many people who fear death, but I'm not sure this "staying alive after death" is something to wish for. To have some traumatic experiences in life that glues one to the place where they happened is not what I find worthwhile for anybody, dead or alive. Such a situation would be more like being caught and then tied down in a more or less gloomy dungeon which I don't see as the wishful scenario for my future.
Naaahhh, I think I would prefer a totally new life which is what cats are supposed to get up till nine times. Then the question is, would I be prepared to live in a place or a situation that's not "ME" as I'm now? Naaahhh, not really .... What I would concede for is a staying "me", while being transformed into something - ehhh', somebody else - and I don't think that's what's supposed to happen when one is reincarnated.
Then there is no real point in wanting this intolerable, evil-minded and spoilt milksop to be reincarnated as this guy:
The milksop will not feel or experience the hardships of the homeless guy, just as he doesn't now when he is the so-called "president" of the USA. That means that the tie of these assumed lives must remain tight for the past to make as much as a dent in the make-up of the new life.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm ....
Jesus and the apostles taught that death is like sleep followed by a resurrection (See John 11:11-15).
