Though I was raised Catholic I have always believed in reincarnation. I do not believe that when we die, that's it. I believe in the circle of life being continuous and once our physical body dies that our soul chooses another physical form in which to return to this earth. I have many reasons for these beliefs that I won't get into here because it's just too long and I want to get into the two questions.
Obviously when reincarnated I don't know in which form you would return. Would you return as a human being if you were a human being in your previous life or could you return as anything you wanted to be. I have always wanted to return as a tree. I know many of you are probably laughing right now but I am serious. I love trees for their stature, their confidence, their protective nature and their ability to withstand the elements. I'd love to return as a tree in the middle of the High Sierras.
While I've enjoyed being human, I think I'd like a little diversity in my next life :)
My two questions are:
1. Do you believe in reincarnation?
2. In your next life would you want to return as a human being or something else?

I'm not sure if I believe in reincarnation but it is a very intriguing thought. The recycling of souls seems like a very logical thing to do.
Even though their lives are much shorter is would be interesting to come back as a squirrel or cat. But then maybe I have already done that.
I once read something that when you come to earth you take on the life of something you have a desire to learn about. When you've learned all you can you move on to the next life and next learning experience. I think in my next life I want to learn about being a multimillionaire :)
I would love to believe that we can choose the character we come back as, but that is too good to be true.
But I have not decided who I shall be.
However, if I have a choice to be what I want in the next life, I would love to be a butterfly.
Gorgeous photos of the garden!
I do not believe in reincarnation. I'll joke about it but I believe when we die, our soul goes back to God until the judgement.
Aloha! :)
