    Well, any proof?
    Sources/Resources that gives me a glimpse into this?
    I have had one NDE and it was beyond words.
    I want to learn more about reincarnation...
    I know that Reincarnation and karma go hand and hand?
    Thanks,
    Leon

    People like to find cases where some kid pretends to be a pilot or something and then the parents claim it's a past life thing. I haven't seen anything that's actually convincing.

    Another 'proof' I have heard was this: There are more humans and less animals than there were in the past, therefore those animals were reborn as humans. 'course that's nonsense as well.

    That's interesting and weird all at the same time.
    Thanks!

    If you're keen on knowing more about rebirth here is one link. It doesn't just tell what rebirth is it actually shows the process of how life is formed.
    It is complicated for me because what is written is actually the author's first hand experience on rebirth. It is complicated and profound that is why the Lord Buddha said the Dhamma is profound and not simple as 'peace' and 'insight'.

    I believe there's many alleged accounts just like with near death experiences.

    I know I read about a couple that were provided by Sogyal Rinpoche in his book The Tibetan Book of the Living and Dying. I remember them being very convincing if they were genuine.

    I know this doesn't exactly pertain to your post but may I ask you to recount your personal NDE?

    Well I guess this is as good time as any to jump in here. Do a search on Dr Ian Stevenson. IIRC he has done 30 years of research the this subject and I thought it to be very interesting.
