"Rather than saying that one person is being
reborn time after time, it is more proper to say that
there are many distinct persons being born who
are united by the same spiritual substance." This
description of reincarnation is one of the clearest I
have encountered. I personally believe in
reincarnation and have never thought it meant
that the same "person" was being reborn time and
again. I have always regarded the soul as being
beyond the self, a spiritual connection to a great
life force that unites us all. I do, however, believe
that when born or reborn into a body, a soul
retains memories of spiritual and moral lessons
learned in each life which help to direct the life
purpose of the person driving the soul. Have you
ever felt a strange and instant connection to
someone you've only just met? Or been
somewhere new and felt that you had been there
before?
