No. Scripture does not back that theory up. In fact it says just the opposite, that we only die once, not have multiple lives.

I'd rather not believe, because after going through everything in my life, I would appreciate a break.

@mindstruggle You could still have 100 years left. They're working on cracking the problem of why our bodies stop regenerating themselves after a certain age. If you can hang on for a couple more decades, I think they'll have it.

It’s the most illogical concept ever manifested. We are supposed to believe we come back here with no memories of our past to learn more lessons and grow?
How do we learn lessons without a memory of our past? How does this process exactly work with a wiped memory?
Everything about humans is about the memories we make and accumulate. Without our memories, good and or bad we become the equivalent of an Alzheimer’s patient, not a fun thought.

@therighttothink50 The actual Buddhist concept is of "rebirth". Moment by moment. And more breaking the chain than any accumulation of knowledge.
Again, some Buddhist teachings would advocate seeking to wipe away our memory, at least when seen as being some sort of "guide" to "enlightenment"
Various ways and means in the Dharma pot.

PS Of course, it can get a bit jumbled up and complicated.....
Remake what has gone by and work with what comes. If you don’t remake, you are stuck deeply somewhere

I tend to think that we are usually stuck deeply somewhere.

Yes, I hope in the next life I won't be an Alabamian or any other southerner
No, I feel that we inherit some "energy" from the lives of those who came before us. That's why some things/people/places feel familiar, even though we've not known , met or have been to them. The deja vu feeling.
