I've been reading over some of the threads and it struck me how many people seem to believe in re-incarnation. Many also think that each new incarnation teaches them something they need to know.
Now, I am puzzled by a few things.
1)Since the vast majority of people never remember past lives, how can they possibly learn from them?
2)If we are learning anyway, whether we know it or not, how come we are still making the same mistakes the human race has ALWAYS made?
3)Surely, since humanity has been in existence for thousands and thousands of years, and we have all had countless re-incarnations to learn from - why haven't we even learned how to get along with each other? SURELY, with so many thousands of years of learning, this world should be a place of peace, happiness and security by now!
4)What is the point of lots of lives learning and re-learning stuff if it does no good to anyone but yourself?
5)If it is doing everyone so much good, then, newer souls or not, the majority of re-incarnated souls should be pretty darned well-educated by their past lives and able to teach and keep in check the newer ones. It ain't so. The human race seems to be getting worse, not better, and we are doing more damage than we ever did. WHERE is all the WISDOM we should have?
I should be very interested to read your comments on these points!
