REINCARNATION
EVALUATION
- Which one is the real you?
- How can we be unique if we have lived before?
- How have I been here before?
- Children seem to remember previous lives
- HYPNOCTIC REGRESSION:
- if people had earlier lives, then there is a belief that memories of these past lives might reside in the subconscious
- However, not all investigators accept these memories as evidence of reincarnation and other reasons are put forward to explain why an individual possesses such knowledge
- Evidence given to support this belief included
- past life regression, where under hypnosis an individual recalls a supposed past life
- direct Past life recall, in which young children claim to remember a past life
KARMA
- The dead persons soul enters a different body- whether its better id a lesser life form depends on whether they have good or bad 'karma'
- The aim is that through each lifetime the atman (soul) will improve its eked until it achieves perfection
- when this happens, he soul will no longer be tenor and will enter Nirvana (state of bliss)
- Karma refers to the law of cause & effect- actions and their consequences
- Hindus believe this is a law of the universe- every single action has an effect on something else
- Karma decides where you come back and what you come back as
- if your actions are good, you will get a good rebirth into pleasant circumstances
- If they are bad , you will get a bad one
MOSHKA:
- Salvation of the soul, which is rescued from the material world and delivered into the spiritual
- This is the goal for hindus who eventually hope to achieve moksha
- Though many accept this might not happen for their next rebirth, they aim to produce positive karma in the hope of a good rebirth that might be a little closer to achieving moksha
- The transmigration of the soul from body to body
- involves the idea we have lived before, possibly many times and we may live again
- the soul is eternal and lives in many different bodies
- The Ataman(soul), as a part of Brahman, is eternal, indestructible and unchangeable
- The sharira(body) is created, mortal and subject to change
- the ataman is imprisoned in the Sharira
- At death, Karam determines whether the ataman can be liberated from samsara(cycle of birth, death and reincarnation) to achieve nirvana, or whether it passes into another body
