Is reincarnation always time progressive?

Question

i mean, can you die in this time period,and go back and live as a Celt, or a Roman?

Answer 1

Good Question. I really don't see why not...if all the times and  dimensions are revealed to us. Except..this would change history and so it might not work. Maybe you could go back as a  spirit and get inside someone living in that time period. Sometimes I think that's what reincarnation is really about. I think maybe people die..then come back and get inside people and express their feelings and memories...and you think it's really you reliving one of your past lives. Just something to think about.

Answer 2

Death is final and permanent, and nothing continues on afterwards except a slowly-cooling corpse.

It's not a happy thought, but reality was never guaranteed to fulfill our expectations.

Answer 3

this is a great book which explains some theories on death and reincarnation.

Answer 4

That is a great question!  Never gave that much thought before, but now I will!  Wish I knew the answer!

Answer 5

IVE  HEARD THAT REINCARNATION IS MAKING A COMEBACK

Answer 6

sir, i don't really believe in reincarnation. but when you die, you can see everything.

Answer 7

I don't see why not. Time isn't linear like most people think, and the planes where a soul is thought to reside in between lives exist independently of the physical universe, so it would make sense that you could jump back into the physical universe at any point in time. I think the only real restriction to it would be that you couldn't recall your "future" lives.

Answer 8

I believe that if my God didn't have enough power to keep me from having to do do-overs, then I don't want to come back.  Once is enough.

Answer 9

I think the universe is time independent.  Time is an illusion.  All reincarnations are occuring at the same time, as are all moments in reality.  You are in the matrix............time to reach out, stretch out.......

Answer 10

If you look at the hindu philosophy, along with reincarnation, there is this concept of yuga - basically an indication of how people and civilization behave over extended periods of time - I mean like 100s of thousands of years. It states that as you reincarnate, you are born into a new yuga (basically adopting the concept of a static time-line always moving forward). So, civilization reaches a zenith, then goes backwards (i.e. people slowly start losing morals and ethics) this cycle continues... So, you may not get to be in THE roman age, but something similar - perhaps...

PS: I am in no way trying to spread this religion etc... its just a nice concept :)
