OBE and Reincarnation.

[hadeka]

Hi all,

Im new in this forum here.

i wanted to ask about something.

As my religion doesnt believe in Reincarnation.
so untill now, i cant 100% believe in the Reincarnation, so i must read alot about this theory to be sure if i have to 100% believe in it or no.

My religion is "Islam" ,,, so im asking you if anyone here know anything related to Islam and Reincarnation ,,if anyone read any article that contradict or support Reincarnation in Islam ,,pls share it with me.
I would like to know opinions here about Reincarnation and its relationship to Islam that can help in understanding Reincarnation more clearly.

Another thing i want to talk about.

Im an Astral Traveller, and before yesterday, i had an experience.... I Astral travelled.... During this experience, i went to a friend and i was watching him, and it was the first time with me to enter his house!!
After finishing this experience, i was talking to that friend and i was describing what his home looks like to prove to him that i was astral travelling.
i felt that during this experience, my spirit was in another body, not a human body, a fly's body...this small insect !!
and when i told that to my friend, he was surprised because there was a fly in his room and was flying with strange way and stop on his nose etc ... .!!! and that what i realy did during the experience.

Everything he and I said, was real !!

I believe that i realy was this insect !!

i just want to ask ... how come my spirit can interact with another body when im still alive??!
and how come for a human spirit interact with an insect body or any other body other than human body ?!!!

I would like to recieve replies for my two topics and i would like to know any web site that deliver free online books about Reincarnation.

Hope you can understand what i mean .

i would like to know if this is a type,,any type of Reincarnation??

Thnx alot
Hadeka.

Hi Hadeka,

So you mean you saw him from the viewpoint of an insect flying around and landed on his nose, and at that same time a fly really landed on his nose?!?  That's really cool!  I don't think it counts as reincarnation though because fortunately you didn't die and get reborn as a fly.

I don't know whether Islam believes in reincarnation or not.  But you might want to look into Sufism, which as I understand it, is a 'mystical' branch of Islam.  Here's a quote from Jalalu 'D-Din Rumi, a famous Sufi poet:

"I died as a mineral and became a plant,
I died as a plant and rose to animal,
I died as animal and I was man.
Why should I fear? When was I less by dying?"

Until the question "What are we?" is answered then I don't see how anyone can answer the question on reincarnation 100%. It is easy to see what we are on a purely physical level, but beyond that we really do not know what we are or what might make us individuals if we are. If you take the view point that everyone is ultimately one, and we are all just incarnations of the one, then everyone and everything is so an incarnation of you.

That sounds like a great experience!  I haven't had that kind of luck with my experiences yet.  With regards to Islam, you can view the experience from two different levels.  The most obvious would be that it's a remote viewing experience, something that many think Prophet Muhammad had in his nightly visions.  Another view would be that you were simply given "knowledge" about the experience through a different set of eyes.  Alternatively, you can regard the experience as a form of possession.  Someone in my family was once possessed by a Jinn.  If a Jinn can possess a human being, a human being (you) could possess a fly.  However, remember that traditional Islam doesn't look too fondly upon the occult unless it's from Allah.  As I remember it, the angel Azrael is supposed to remove your soul from your body when you die and then you wait till the Day of Judgment.  You can try exploring Sufism even though most Muslims would not consider it a part of Islam or you can leave Islam altogether like I did.  =)
