We Never Know

Read this earlier and thought that's a new way to look at it. Crazy or imaginative, either way I had never heard it before.

Life, death, and deja vu
- Thread starter We Never Know
- Start date
Interesting...
But I'd have to wonder what exactly is transferring from your previous body to this new child, and how is it able to retain memories from my previous life? Memories can be lost or altered due to physical brain damage, but the OP implies that memories exist in spite of a physical brain; how do we know memories can exist independently of those physical confines? How would deja Vu play into past memories when they happen within the context of modern situations - like when I'm on my smart phone?

I've always wondered lately with generational trauma if a lot of our symptoms from traumatic events we haven't experienced in our life may be a string of experiences per life time rather than bloodline. Then when you have de ja vu moments, the memory is somewhat collective from an actual event you experienced and remnants of a former life one.

This is exactly the area of research at one university Fifty Years of Research | Division of Perceptual Studies
I actually have an understanding somewhat similar to this. I see death as simply changing our state of being, not a termination of ourselves. What we cling to in this life, follows us to the next until somewhere along the way we figure out how to let it go. My dad said something similar to me when I was young, and never really quite got at the time. "What you don't resolve in this lifetime, you'll have to in the next". I agree with that now. He was wiser than I. 
A rebirth is just basically waking up the next day and picking up where you left off.

Ok, but why believe this over something else?
I suppose it makes a little more sense morally than some crazy God sending disbelievers to be punished.
However since it is all speculation, one can believe what they want.
Coming out feet first must be a terrifying way to reincarnate.

So what happens if you were an animal or bug prior?

Quantum immortality is far more likely in my opinion than reincarnation.
If that happens to me I will laugh, not cry. Imagine knowing what I know today at age 1 day. I will become famous, and probably very rich. Imagine how sensational it will be to have a newborn writing down Einstein's field equations. Or knowing how to play chess after one day from birth.
Joking aside, who ever wrote that nonsense?

From what that(the OP) says I would guess you would still be that. Unless bugs cry and have memories.

I haven't talked to any dead people so I wouldn't know.

No dead people have talked to any living people, that's a pretty good indication.
