Discussion Let's say once you CTB, you are reincarnated into a new body and reborn. What would you like to be reincarnated as?

[littlelittlecrow]

As a crow please, I love birds and often here not much people like crows...will feel great to irritate others lol

Yesss! I'd love to part of a murder of crows flying around causing chaos. Giving gifts to those who treat us kindly and tormenting those who are cruel. I love the idea of being surrounded by friends and being so free, food is so plentiful there aren't any fights over it, so many places to rest and things to do, if you ever want to reset you can just fly away without worrying about authorities tracking you down or not having enough money.

 

[WorthlessCoward]

I would like to be reborn as me when I was younger, not because I was happy I sure as hell wasn't but this time I would like the universe or creator or whatever to stop being so goddamn trash to me

Or complete and total obliteration, complete and total obliteration would be better

 

[Toobrokentofix]

A happy person

lol so true

Oh god no I would not want to be reincarnated back on this planet as any species. I think I'd rather not exist at all than be trapped on this miserable excuse of a planet.

A cat or a dog, with a good family or just a good place to live my adventures, or maybe a bird, any kind of one, the possibility to fly is really attractive. But in any case not a human, in any time humans can be horrible and I don't want to live a second life of misery and loneliness for sure. Maybe a big fish like a dolphin or a whale could be good too guess

 

[imcurious]

Can I cheat and say I don't want to reincarnate as an animal or insect? Instead I would like to reincarnate as a water lily or a carnation or any sort of botanical flower. But honestly, I wouldn't mind reincarnating back to myself again. My only requirement is I have to be insanely hotter

Plants definitely count! I wouldnt mind being able to make my own food all the time, but wouldnt like being a plant that lives for a hundred years like some trees.

Funny story.. like long time ago there's this forum that has supranational section and one thread you can ask your past life.. i was told I was a rabbit
But oh well in the next life i hope i won't be reborn in the lower realm than animal, and like previous answer.. a pet cat or pet dog but one that's not energetic or small bird (I'm not good at species names)

 

[nopride86]

Just some type of single-celled organism with few predators or ability to suffer. I daydream about floating around in some pond water in serenity, not even conceptualizing my own existence. Hopefully with no mechanisms to breed either.

 

[Dying Alive 00]

Given how I feel about this life, the thought of having to start another one is abhorrent. I'd rather pass and give it to another possible human to make a better job of it.

Being born a rabbit seems like the best life ever when there are no predators around

Albatross found in snowy mountains in South Georgia Island, Antarctica. I relate to them mostly because I LOVE to hang glide. I used to take off from a cliff off of Mt. Hull California at 5000 feet. Nice cliff area there, but my Favorite place to fly from is Hands down from Glacier Point. Yosemite Park. Here a short video of friends take off.

damn, that's so dope! Seems like such a rush! Idk if I could handle heights like that
the only times I hear about an albatross is from old sea shanties and sailor stories.

 

[Ron Camaro]

I hope I don't get reincarnated...at least not to earth, fucking shithole of a floating rock. But I do want to be a eagle or a vulture, I want to fly, and I want strength. Preferably an eagke because they hunt and they fly into storms. Vultures are cool too, I like their symbolism.

I've always thought vulture. They get to hunt down and glide on thermals all day and they are masters at it. They get more flight time than any other bird.

 

[Meru]

I have always believed in recarnation rather than a heaven and hell. It was always, if you get a tattoo of a animal, thats who you are in your next life. My mother is dead, and on her back was a butterfly tattoo. during her funeral, a butterfly was flying by and stood there. As soon as i die, i want to be a Capybara or a Main Coon cat. Capybaras are social creatures, who hardly have a worry in the world. i wish to have that. and main coon cats are large and fierce and so furry. the thing is i used to want to be a sea turtle, but at the state of the cruel littered world, theres no way id survive as one. The thought of a main coon cat is scary too. Cats are always abused. i just want a new life thats worry-free without a death-wish. is that so much to ask for?

I have flown from that spot many times and like that bird when you are up there it is total Peace and you and the wind and nothing else matters. Always said if you believe there is a God or don't believe that is when you could reach out and touch his hand. The rush is awesome. I done all kinds of dope in my stupid days and none compare to this!. Nothing does but now time is near up for me but one more fantastic journey awaits me maybe. ? I think you would love it. Mt. Hull was usual place to fly though. 6873 feet. Peace.

I personally don't believe in reincarnation but, just for the sake of entertaining the idea: I would probably be reincarnated as an insect or a vermin, because that's all I deserve from how I lived out my "past life".

 

[rabid_aspie_yokai]

Male again. It seems more convenient. I don't want to change much. Just don't want to be a coward again. I'm even okay with taking ADHD along with me.

Buddhism has too many options. They even have gods who just laze are for millions of years.

As a Buddhist I don't believe in God(s), don't worship anyone or anything. Just trying to minimize suffering in this fvcked up world by being compassionate.(⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠✧⁠*⁠。
I would like to be a raccoon btw

 

[msnirvana]

Reincarnation is an absolutely horrendous thought to me. If it was true, it would be simply undeniable that this reality is the worst possible torture anyone could ever experience. How anyone can find peace in that is beyond me, luckily I believe that after we die we find true peace in non-existence.

I absolutely, one of my biggest fears after death is the thought of having to repeat everything again and i will be forced to continue my miserable sentience for eternity.

 

[absolomonisgone]

i don't know how my brain is going to decide on the next thing it will want to make up like it make you up to ask it this question

I was talking about Devas from Indian religions. Buddhists don't worship them, but they do exist according to the scriptures.

 

[LookAway]

Reincarnation is very likely in my opinion.
No doubt, I'd like to come back as a man, just without all the traumatic experiences and maybe some better opportunities.
Countless examples of it are available for everyone to do their own research. Lean about, read or listen to the Tibetan Book of the Dead. Some really interesting things in there.



Do your own research but I always liked this story of reincarnation. It's open to interpretation but I found it interesting and hard to debunk easily.



According to the book of the dead and the teachings of Buddhism, we do have a big say on what our next incarnation will be and even whether it happens all. We can even choose to spend eternity in hell or other places and times if we are not wise.

If all life is energy, and if energy cannot be created or destroyed but merely converted into a new form, then reincarnation sounds pretty likely to me.
But then so does any form or a God or an afterlife considering that pretty much everything in science points to intelligent design.
One of my favourite quotes is from Catholicism
" We're not human beings having a spiritual experience. We're spiritual beings having a human experience."
There's my two cents anyway

Reincarnation and rebirth are different concepts, with basically the same idea.

But what if the next time is a little better?

 

[LT1989]

I would want to come back as a person that is mentally normal, happy, doesn't have anxiety and hasn't had anything traumatic happen to them. Just to see what it feels like to be carefree and content. I bet it would be wonderful.

imagine what it'd be like to have parents who actually adored you.

 

[sorrow_sparrow]

always want to be a big old tree in the middle of a thick, beautiful rainforest...

Couldn't be me. they live way too long and see too many things.

Wow, that idea is so far-fetched to me that I can't even begin to imagine it lol but life sure would be very different

so many people on this forum have been deprived of love from their parents-- a love that most people on this earth receive unconditionally and for free. It's terribly sad :c
