REINCARNATION QUOTES
quotations about reincarnation
Reincarnation is essential to enable the soul to evolve to its Divine right.
R. F. GOUDEY
Reincarnation: A Universal Truth
Let's take one life at a time. Perhaps the best way to do that is to live as though there were no afterlife or reincarnation. To live as though this moment was all that was allotted.
STEPHEN LEVINE
A Year to Live
My only fear of death is reincarnation.
TUPAC SHAKUR
"No More Pain"
I believe we are reincarnated. You, I, we reincarnate over and over. We live many lives, and store up much experience. Some are older souls than others and so they know more. It seems to be an intuitive "gift." It is really hard-won experience.
HENRY FORD
Theosophist Magazine, February 1930
In the light of reincarnation life changes its aspect, for it becomes the school of the eternal Man within us, who seeks therein his development, the Man that was and is and shall be, for whom the hour will never strike.
ANNIE WOOD BESANT
Reincarnation
Everything is connected, like a delicate web. Ever growing, ever changing. New silvery strands come together every day, and once the strand is formed, no matter what superficial circumstances may sometimes keep you apart, it is never broken. You will meet again, perhaps in another lifetime. The connection is unbreakable, lying dormant in your subconscious.
CHELSIE SHAKESPEARE
The Pull
Obviously, then, reincarnation is one of the fundamental religious ideas of mankind--quite irrespective of its truth. Its universality is almost equal to the belief in the existence of a divine Power. The origin of the idea is unknown, for its roots strike so deep into the many layers of human thought deposited through the ages, that it is impossible to trace them to their beginnings. It is surmised that the belief in reincarnation antedates all known history, and certainly traces of it are to be found in all religions and in the myths of nearly all primitive people.
IRVING STEIGER COOPER
Reincarnation: The Hope of the World
Sex is one of the nine reasons for reincarnation ... The other eight are unimportant.
HENRY MILLER
Big Sur and the Oranges of Hieronymus Bosch
Those who accept the truth of Reincarnation do not blame their parents for their poor talents, or for not possessing extraordinary powers, but they remain content with their own lot, knowing that they have made themselves as they are today by their own thoughts and deeds in their previous incarnations.
SWAMI ABHEDANANDA
Reincarnation
Reincarnation, at least as I conceive it, does not nullify what we know about evolution and genetics. It suggests, however, that there may be two streams of evolution -- the biological one and a personal one -- and that during terrestrial lives these streams may interact.
IAN STEVENSON
Children Who Remember Previous Lives
I am no Hindu, but I hold the doctrine of the Hindus concerning a future state (rebirth) to be incomparably more rational, more pious, and more likely to deter men from vice than the horrid opinions inculcated by Christians on punishments without end.
WILLIAM JONES
Jesus Taught It Too: The Early Roots of the Law of Attraction
The New Testament declared that John was imbued with Elijah's "spirit and power", which could easily be interpreted as his being a reincarnation of Elijah. But theologians have interpreted these passages in various ways.
B. ALAN WALLACE
"Mind in the Balance: Meditation in Science, Buddhism, and Christianity"
As to you, Life, I reckon you are the leavings of many deaths,
No doubt I have died myself ten thousand times before.
WALT WHITMAN
Leaves of Grass
Have you ever met someone for the first time, but in your heart you feel as if you've met them before?
JOANNE KENRICK
When a Mullo Loves a Woman
Yet back of all the fancies clustering round the belief in the rebirth of the soul there must surely be a vital truth, else the idea of reincarnation could not have endured for so many thousands of years, nor could it have attracted so many able thinkers.
IRVING STEIGER COOPER
Reincarnation: The Hope of the World
If you're really a mean person you're going to come back as a fly and eat poop.
KURT COBAIN
Monk Magazine, 1993
A fully developed psychology will not exist until reincarnation is accepted as a fact.
JANE ROBERTS
The Early Sessions
And if I forget how many times I have been here, and in how many shapes, this forgetting is the necessary interval of darkness between every pulsation of light. I return in every baby born.
ALAN WATTS
The Book on the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are
The most fashionable new delusion involves one or another form of belief in reincarnation. Karma is big these days, and those who regard their bodies and brains as disposable and replaceable 'vehicles' ... are as goofily sincere as those who believe they get a better model with each trade-in from Detroit.
CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS
"Heavenly Hoax", The Nation, May 12, 1997
What orthodox religion calls "inscrutable" ways of "Providence," the believer in Reincarnation calls justice.
