Has anyone here ever attempted reincarnation?
   

I used to think, since I had a lousy childhood, man, in my next life I'm gonna get it right. I'm going to be born
into a nice, loving, well-to-do family...

Thing is, odds are you're far more likely to be born into some desperately poor third world family. Matter of numbers.

(Disclaimer: Just saying, I believe this life is all we have.)

Lay off of the drugs.

Hopefully a Duck. In season.

7. I did in my previous life.
   
Considering what shitty parents I had in this one, I won't try it again.

It will most likely turn silly, but had to post it. Just when you think you've ran across them all, another one pops up.

I hope reincarnation doesn't exist.  Could you imagine putting up with DUmmies over multiple lifetimes?

With one of those GBLT's (whatever they are) as an owner.
It'll be the "end" for you.  :whistling:

Just an after thought.
In order to try it, wouldn't you have to "off" yourself, first?

I'm hoping that you're a rabbit next time, and when you pop your head out of your hole and find yourself in front of Ptarmigan's house, guess what happens next...

The bad Karma accumulated for being involved with DU will definitely be a major set back to any hopes of a better life. I suspect cockroach status for most.

Don't we all reincarnate with our DNA ?????

Past life regression is interesting, why do some of us have some talent that has to be " inherited" from a past family member.  Genes make body replication but do not explain

Why do some children insist they remember things that they were never exposed to and know things beyond their years????

Very interesting subject, the hair raising feel that one has been here before or seen this place in a dream, the fact that one can bond instantly with a stranger, love at first sight.

Is there a Gene for past memory's or a Gene that makes our personality's?????

Damn good question, curious if cloning will instill the say training of the parent so the cloned remembers how to do certain tasks that the parent had to be trained to do.?????

So much to learn, so little time.

I tried to reincarnate but the instructions said I have to die. Darn it.
Now I have to wait for old age to take me before I can be an eagle and kill little bunnies and ptarmigans and other cure and fluffy things...like puppies.

DUmmies will be in trouble when they reincarnate...for all the drugs and hate and sins they will have to spend several lifetimes as nuns just to make up for it all.

Or cats...after all, according the the DUmmies, it's an honor for a person to have his or her cat eaten by a hawk.

Immune to venom and poisons, eats pretty much everything that fits into its mouth, and has no regard for life at all. Badass.

Courtesy of http://www.reincarnationstation.com with highlights of some of the answers filled out as if I were your typical scheming, lying, conniving primitive:



Generally speaking, what type of person do you consider yourself?

I'm an awful person.  I hurt others intentionally, and I enjoy doing so.



Generally speaking, what type of person do others consider you?


Most people dislike me, but I don't care.



You find someone physically attractive.  Which of the following statements is most accurate?

I'll approach someone, and if I'm rejected, I'll insult them, and walk away.  I want the upper hand.




You create something that you're very proud of, but everyone tells you that your creation sucks.  Which of the following statements is the most accurate?

I listen to what they have to say, and then I tell them to go to hell.  I don't need their negative attitudes. 



You see a mentally handicapped person.  What is the first thought that pops into your mind?

Ding, fries are done!




You borrow something from friend.  Which of the following statements is most accurate?

I keep what I borrowed as long as I can, hoping my friend forgets about it.  When I'm asked to return it, I claim I never had it. 



You have two $1 bills.  A friend asks you to borrow $2.  What do you do?

I give my friend nothing.  After all, I only have $2.

I knew this tick once that was in the fictional spirit-guide corps. I don't know how a tick gained entrance to the corps. Those things are above my pay-grade.

For those who don't know, a tick is naturally a blood-sucker that carries many diseases. On top of this his attitude was just bad. He was a hateful guy that never looked out for anyone but himself. He mistreated almost everyone. He was arrogant, and he was an ass. He was also just plain lazy when it came to everything except sucking blood. None of guys in the fictional spirit-guide corps liked him. I really don't know anyone who did like him.

One day he showed up in the administrator's office and demanded to be reincarnated. The administrator tried to talk him out of it. The administrator explained to him that due to his attitude he would be reincarnated into a lower life-form as a type of penance. The tick called the administrator an idiot and proclaimed that there was no life-form lower than a tick. With that the administrator shrugged and granted the tick's wish. The tick was reincarnated with the same attitude and nature but as a lower life-form. To this day the reincarnated tick is posting on DemocratUnderground.

Ah. The wonderful vesta. Greetings.

After reading your post I have researched many Genes in an attempt to answer your question. Among them:
Gene Kranz - Flight Director for NASA
Gene Okerlund - Once an announcer for wrestling's WWF
Gene Autry - Singing cowboy
Gene Kelly - Dancer
Gene Simmons - One of the founders of KISS

None of these Genes (nor the many others I researched) really seemed to play a part in our past memory or personality.

Sorry I was not able to help.
