Reincarnation is a concept which is tolerated by some religious traditions, strongly embraced by others, and vehemently denied as a form of blasphemy by a few. The concept of reincarnation is fairly simply: the non-material essence, sometimes called a soul, continues after the physical death of the body and is reborn in another body. Reincarnation is an ancient human concept, pre-dating the emergence of the Abrahamic religions by many thousands of years. It is considered by some scholars to be one of the elements of the earliest human religious beliefs and may in fact pre-date the first Homo sapiens some 200,000 years ago. While reincarnation appears to answer the basic question: “What happens when we die?” it also generates lots of other questions. Some of these questions can be found below the ghostly orange thingy.
