what if you die and get reincarnated into the past?

[dune7263]

this is big fear of mine, imagine getting reincarnated into the poorest country in the middle ages but at the same time I have so many reasons to ctb

You don't have to worry about that. It's already a stressful enough process as it is; you don't need to torment yourself with these kinds of scenarios.

it's hard to not worry

I have the same fears but, as hard as it is, there's no point in focusing on them because we'll never have an answer to what will happen. I used to keep myself awake at night thinking about being reincarnated as some poor workhouse soul, or as a slave who had to fight to the death, or simply in a time period where I didn't have any rights. I would cry to myself over not having the freedom that I have now, about how awful life was in other time periods, but eventually I had to just force myself to get over it because regardless of what happens after death, my consciousness in this life won't be aware of it.

If reincarnation is real then there could be a whole universe to reincarnate into, the universe is ever expanding and in our lifetimes we won't get an answer to what else is out there. Even amongst people who do believe in it there's no consensus on how it works but even if you did end up in a poorer time period it would be all that you knew, so you wouldn't be able to miss what you didn't have. You would just get on with your life, and then you would die, the same as we do now.

I could never believe in such rather I only believe death to be non-existence which is all I wish and hope for, I just want to never suffer ever again with this torturous, futile existence finally all forgotten about, non-existence really is all I see as desirable and could ever do, I just see existence as a terrible tragic mistake where one is just waiting to cease existing anyway.

Do you remember your past life? No. If you do get reincarnated you won't be aware of it.

 

[TastySorrow]

Should that ever happen, you wouldn't be conscious of having lived in our arguably better times, so I guess there would be nothing to compare against.

i d like to believe its not true. i just cant imagine. but i worry sometimes too.

 

[Languish]

Then it is time to die again.

 

[human909]

I don't think that would happen, but I also fear of such scenarios happening.
