This is a topic that I have been struggling for many years to understand and to attempt to put together a more realistic real life experiences from people of all backgrounds, races, tribe and religious beliefs, because I believe strongly that in as much as we try to avoid discussing this topic, it is a very vital topic that we as living humans must find a way to carry out more in depth research on using peoples real life experiences to try to understand our fate after we die or after our brain stops functioning.

I have some personal experiences and family members' encounter too that I will like to share but then, before we proceed on this topic, I would love us to share our near-death-experiences and reincarnation encounters.

In my effort to understand this vital topic which I am currently writing a detailed research work on, I came across an interesting live recorded video of event held by high profile medical professionals from mostly United States of America, sharing their real life experiences, survey results and personal encounters which I think will help us understand this topic better.

Its a lengthy but interesting video which I would like you all to watch and make a comment.

Also, if you have any near-death-experience or reincarnation encounter or something similar, please share with us, let's see if we can as well use Nairaland to collate Nigerian people or African people near-death-experiences, reincarnation encounters and premonition as a way of helping us understand what happens to humans after we die.

Thank you all as you share your experience.

But do you believe in near-death-experience, do you believe their stories

Interesting

Ofcourse. I have gone through "Out of Body Experience". In summary, I was lying sick on my couch when i began to feel weaker & weaker and all of a sudden I found myself on my feet staring at my body on the couch. I knew that wasn't ok & immediately went back into the body.

Great topic. I've never had a near-death experience before but I really would like to hear from those who have.

As for reincarnation, I guess we all have had moments of dejavu when we saw a"familiar" scene or heard some time or saw someone or something that made our skin develop goose flesh.

The Scriptures also implicitly but clearly teach that reincarnation was a popularly believed tradition of the Jews.

What do you mean by pagan?

You mean as opposed to Christianity?

I could prove to you from the Bible that reincarnation was believed by the Jews and by extension, by Jesus Christ. Wanna take a shot?

wow, for real

If our consciousness and awareness comes from the brain, which has been well shown by many cases in neurology and science, then we cease to exist when we die.

Being dead would be like the time before you were born...nothing.

I used to believe in reincarnation though, but most studies into it I've seen are not fully conclusive to definitively claim it's real

(I had this experience in 2004. As soon as I close my eyes to sleep, I will just see myself beside my sleeping body but I don't wander too far away and even sometimes I will be shaking my sleeping body to wake up. The body will be so hard to lift that i will drag and drag and just leave it when i am tired of draging. I shared the same room with my sister and God really used her for me because most times she will just wake up at the right time and slap my sleeping body so hard that I will force myself into it and drag it up. I was 17 and I thought it was all just for fun but the dad my father noticed my problem was the day I knew I was in a big trouble. It was an holiday and my turn to washed his car, I had already fetched water around 7am and prepared the washing kit, I just decided to relax a little bit and believe me, I pulled out again from my body and kept on staring at it. I kept on begging it to wake up but it was as hard as stone. Around 7.30am, my dad realized that the car remained untouched and with annoyance, he told my sister to go wake me up. Shooo, I was watching the whole drama, my sister beat, shook, dragged me up but I was gone. She ran outside to tell my dad that I wouldn't answer her and as they were about coming in, I tried my luck again by entering my body and it answeredme this time...I woke up...
I quickly ran to my CAC Church, prayed so hard not to die and later on, an evangelist who doesn't even know me from anywhere said the spirit of death is looming over me, we prayed same day and that was the end of it... Believe me, this is a real life experience and not an African Magic scenerio.)

According to over a decade-long medical researches carried on this interesting topic of reincarnation, not all humans reincarnate, some move on through other ways or transformations, but I think reincarnation is real and requires more global attention to really find the truth, not waving it aside for religious reasons

I never believed in reincarnation not until November 2017. reincarnation is very very real

People do not want to be mocked or shamed for telling their stories. Moreover, life here is a struggle. only a few have the time, technologies and resources to publish their stories.

Not true.

Even if we try to explain it using science or physics, then humans cannot just die and disappear completely because we are a pack of energy, and energy cannot be destroyed but transformed from one form to another.

From chemical to atomic, from mechanical to electric, etc.

That's assuming you are a scientific person that believe more in science

Yeah that's why some cultures believe that when we die, we become stars amidst the clouds

SHALOM!

Heathen777:
If our consciousness and awareness comes from the brain, which has been well shown by many cases in neurology and science, then we cease to exist when we die.

OYINBO STUDIES TEND TO PROVE WHATEVER THE SPONSORS OF THE STUDIES WANT TO PROVE, AND NOTHING MORE.

PSYCHOLOGY means THE STUDY OF SOULS: based on the premise that there is no such thing as the Human Soul.

Oyinbos desperately have to believe that- otherwise, they could commit Mass-Suicide, thinking about where they are all going, on account of what they have all done to the Earth, and to other races.

CONSCIOSSNESS DERIVES FROM THE SOUL, WHICH IS NOT INTRINSICALLY IMMORTAL: IT CAN BE DESTROYED, LIKE ANY OTHER LIVING ORGANISM- BY BEING EATEN AND DIGESTED.

There are Spirit Beings who do that.

Heathen777:
Being dead would be like the time before you were born...nothing.

I used to believe in reincarnation though, but most studies into it I've seen are not fully conclusive to definitively claim it's real

THESE BEINGS IMPLANT US AT BIRTH WITH A FALSE SPIRITUAL CENTRE, WITH THE PURPOSE OF CONTROLLING US, AND KILLING US- IN ORDER TO FEED UPON US, OUR WHOLE LIVES, AND TO KILL US.

These implants are surely made from Human Souls they have previously destroyed. Therefore, when we dabble in Enlightenment Mysticisms, we encounter those memories and think they are ours.'

This blinds us to our true fate, and undermines our willingness to resist DEATH.

THESE IMPLANTS CAN AND MUST BE EXPELLED.

It is even possible that their original owners could be resurrected through them.

Alright its a very long story but I'll just summarize it.


I have a friend who nothing works for. he always gets into problems that his mom has to spend everything she has to get him out of the different problems. one particular day he was jazzed by a girl it was the landlord of one of my friend that helped him out so his elder sister and mom went to thank the old man during the process the old man revealed to them that he was cursed from his former life. he was cursed by his wife (he was a wife beater), he stole a gun and the owner lay a curse on him and a fish spat into his eyes and he became blind (presently he has an eye problem). his mom didn't believe so she went home and told her husband and MIL. her MIL said she knows about this after she saw the birthmark on his lap after he was born, she told her son (my friend's dad) but he didn't believe. so they decided to go down to they village to make some findings and it turned out to be truth. so they did some ritual, returned the stolen gun to the family he stole the gun from, took a pot of soup and returned it to Ogun( he threw his wife pot of soup that was the reason she cursed him). Now my friend is very very successful and haven't gotten into any problems.

reincarnation is kinda a form of karma. whatever your sow you'll reap in your next life

You just spoke my mind. It's so hard for people to believe such stories...

Please share your 2017 experience that made you believe in reincarnation.

Another story of reincarnation. I have an aunty who lives with us, she's over 30 and not yet married she's gone to different churches all to no avail. when she went to see the old man he told her She'll never get married because in her pervious life she maltreated her husband because he was blind and she was also sleeping around. the only solution was to get pregnant and have a child outside wedlock and forget of ever getting married in this life.

And i can disprove whatever you believe is recantation from the Bible. Bring it on.
