Reincarnation

Reincarnation: The belief that the soul is reborn as someone new. Energy recycles itself.

The belief in reincarnation is found in many religions across the world, the most famous of which is in the Hindu tradition. This is another way of explaining the belief that energy can never be lost. (Read ghost blog.) But, in reincarnation the energy from the body is directly transferred to newborn body. The person may not remember their former life. Many cases have been studied, the most recent of which involved a police officer who believed that he was the reincarnation of a french painter. He did not know the name of the painter, but was able to recall the paintings in full detail, as well as diary excerpts about things that even the general public wouldn't know. He had never seen the paintings. Nor had he had any previous idea of reincarnation. This case was broadcast on the Sci-Fi channel in the summer of 2006, under heavy analysis, and study, the officer had been told that the only way he could have known that information, is if he had been that person.
