When you die and you reach the other side you are given a choice: you can either stay in the afterlife and maybe later on are given the choice to re-incarnate into another person or you can be re-born as you again right back at the start of your current life. The condition is that your original life in terms of choices is preserved as one time-line that happened and you would actually experience an alternative time-line if you are to make different choices to those you made the first time. You would have no knowledge of what happened previously except for feelings and urges that are trying to make you decide things differently this time for the better - maybe not just for you but for other people too. Helping others is very rewarding as long as you know they are greatful for what you do to help them. You can choose to ignore your feelings and make the same choices, but that would defeat the object of a re-life to make you see how things could have been different. In many ways its like a leap.
I know its just after Xmas and everything but this idea came to me not long after I watched some of Season 3 today and would like to see what everyone else here has to say about it.
So everyone, what would you choose and why ?
My choice:
I would be very interested in reliving this life, even at 27, I wish I had made some different choices and maybe took action instead of inaction regarding different things such as girlfriends :dreaming, jobs, social situations, experiences back in time at high school. On the other hand I think that by the time I grow old and pass away I would like to put this life behind me and stay in the afterlife (heaven, paradise whatever) and maybe just maybe choose to incarnate into another person for another life maybe a decade or so after this one. Although there are times when I feel one life is enough and if that's all I get that is fine with me. Hopefully if you are reincarnated into another person you will retain some unconcious memories of this life so that you have feelings and urges of what to in the next when faced with similar situations - it would be too painful to retain any concious memories for a number of good reasons and maybe this is the way it works.
So, I would like to re-live this life and try out other things and see what happens, but a large part of me would like to move on and get reunited with family members in heaven and stay there. Getting re-incarnated means that you start off as a helpless baby :baby again and hopefully you will have caring parents again so it shouldn't be too bad. Growing up, for me, was a pain in the ass because I was short, small, awkward, had a bully for an elder brother :realmad and I just wanted to be grown up like my parents. I could say sometimes I feel like I rushed that part of my life too much instead of enjoying being a kid so that would be another reason to re-live this life or move onto another one. But if you are in heaven, why would you want to leave ? In the next life you could get mis-lead by other people, do a lot of crime or harm and end up roasting in hell until it freezes over - don't forget, none of us can remember what came before this life and maybe you have already been to one or the other. That would explain where all of these bad people come from if they are given another life to prove themselves after burning down below for a while :hair.
Over to the rest of you !
