Re-incarnation....phew!!!

How many times has your granny told you that you were probably
a sinner in your previous life while you are facing some bad situation.
There are so many people trying to hog limelight claiming to remeber
past life incidents. My granny would tell me that every body has to go
through 7 lives...in different forms.The last is of the man.
The one previous to that ..of a cow.


I remember reading this crappy book....Many lives Many masters by
Dr.Brian Weiss... who is supposed to be a noted phsychiatrist in
Miami,Florida.The book,he claims is atrue story of him,his young
patient and the past life therapy that changed both their lives.
The emotionally disturbed lady,his patient, in semi-conscious state
[hypnotic-state]tells him about her previous lives and the masters
that take charge in between two lives.He tells us how the case
dramatically altered their lives, revealing the mysteries of mind,
the continuation of life after death and the influence of past life
experience on our present behaviour.
The doctor believes to have cured her of her problem and in the book
tries to make the reader believe in re-incarnation.

This really astonishes me... i mean when we ..as educated ones on
seeing people consulting black magicians and practicing related stuff
make sure to opine our criticism, sometimes blindly believe in such
topics. We are told its our duty to spread awareness about the so
called 'babas ' who make their living by conning people on the basis
of their blind faith.But here this pshychiatrist who is supposed to act
rational and try curing mental problems is himself advocating his
past life therapy.. and says that he has been succesful in the case.



I agree it can be a good backdrop for making a nice entertaining
bollywood movie...Someone gets killed and returns back to avenge
his death...some nice songs, good action sequences,punching
dialogues....yes ,then its surely great to have popcorn and
cheer the onscreen hero.

But give it a thought....does your mind agree with that?
Im trying to be a bit rational here...im not asserting that it
is false... but just asking why should one cook up stories about
something he doesnt know..
[though existence of god is also one such debatable topic..but
id rather not talk on that sensitive matter.]
On the face of it i feel it is utter rubbish.Reincarnation is surely an
intersting topic to think on....but really hard to accept , just like that.
One may argue that its a matter of personal faith...fair enough!!

Different people ....different opinion!

I would want the readers to know that im just venting my personal thought...
and no offence meant to anybody.
