• If you were reincarnated, would you want to come back as a man or a woman … and why?

  I’m bored, so I’m writing, which is a better thing to do than watching tv. So I’ll answer this question, because it’s something I actually have some experience with… reincarnation. I have been both men and women and even animals in past lives. It is probably why I find it so easy to put myself in others’ shoes. I can remember eleven lives before this one, and my sex has been pretty evenly distributed. Neither sex is better than the other, just different, with different priorities. We choose our sex before birth, as well as different details of our lives, in order to learn certain lessons. Reincarnation is not about punishment as some peole think. It is a learning experience. So we choose to be male or female according to what we wish to learn, what experiences we will have, what choices we will be called upon to make, and what that will all tell us about our own character at the end of the day.

  In life, we are creatures of sensation, learning from the experiences that sensation brings us in the organic vehicle we have chosen. In death, we are creatures of reflection, composites of all our experiences in the material world. Sexuality is only as important as the choices it brings to life.

  As for what I would choose to be in the next life… if I come back, I think I would like to be a tree.
     

  I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too!
