One of the questions that people often ask is, “Is this my last lifetime?”. In other words, they want to know if they have progressed enough so that they no longer have to reincarnate into physical. Most people don’t want to come back – I know I don’t. However, the truth of the matter is that most of us (if not all of us) will be coming back.
Today I was thinking about it again and came up with what I can only term “my conclusion” on the matter. So my final answer to, “Will I have to come back again?” is….“Who cares?”
That’s right. Why waste even a moment of time and energy contemplating this question when the answer doesn’t really matter. If you have to come back, you will be coming back and you won’t remember that you even asked the question in the first place.
Perhaps in my last life I asked the same question. Maybe I was told that I was coming back or maybe I was told that I wasn’t coming back…the answer is irrelevant. I’m back. I’m here and I don’t remember if I asked if I would have to come back.
Life goes on. I deal with what is in front of me and I try to live the very best I can which is quite difficult at times. Like everyone, the majority of days I experience are okay, some days are pure hell and then there are those few days that are really quite pleasant. There were quite a few times during my life where the majority of days I experienced were pure hell (and that did go on for years)…but I am still here and things did change but I digress…
Now, believing that I am not coming back may make the challenges in this life easier – after all, if I can just get through the current challenge, I can be content with the knowledge that I never have to come back into physical again. So I suppose that belief can make life a bit easier. But then again, how egotistical would it be to think that my knowledge is enough to give me that precious gift?
Believing that I have to come back again, does seem to put a damper on things. Sometimes, it even gives me that “what’s the point” attitude because I can just come back and do it all again.
So, I think I will just stick to “who cares” attitude and just do the best I can. If it happens, I won’t remember or know the difference and I’ll basically be in the same boat I’m in now but hopefully with different life experiences and not repeating the unpleasant lessons of this lifetime.
So please share with me…how do you handle the concept of coming back again. Do you think you are coming back again or do you even think about it at all?

I think that when we are in the afterlife and looking back at our physical life from a totally different perspective, we will see it in a different way than we do now. We will know why we came and why we experienced what we did, and will see how it helped us grow. From that point of view, we may be ready to come back to another life to experience more and learn and grow even though we know it may be difficult.
Our higher self probably has a goal that we can’t understand. If you imagine being asked to take on all the hell and responsibility and there was a very good reason for doing it all, each one of us would probably be proud to say that we said yes to taking on the challenge.
Appreciation to all, Jerry
Absolutely Jerry. I’m sure seeing things from the Other Side gives us a totally different understanding! Thanks for sharing.
Insightful as always! And for sure it impacts our spiritual development and progression in a big way.
I can also say that with all of the hell that I have been though, it has certainly freed me and changed me dramatically as a person although many people would not like the changes. I think with most people who go through hardship, they end up finding themselves and being who they truly are as opposed to being what others wanted them to be growing up, or as is so often the case – trying to get approval.
When you stop doing that, you really have to find yourself. It is a challenge, that’s for sure.
Harold – thanks for sharing. I still love drinking in your energy – so calming…ahhhhh
Wendy:
I agree with you that we should not obsess on whether we come back because we must accept wherever we are and whoever we are. I do wonder about it but in a different way than I think most other people do. Strangely, I would suppose, I am not one of the ones who does not want to come back (although, lol, sometimes I sure feel like leaving this one) .
The problems that we face often define the solutions we find, and how much we learn. (Most sadly, however sometimes the problems destroy or break us, and when I see situations, especially unfair ones, like that they pain me deeply and I have no answer.) Life is not a breeze for anyone (nope, no one, not anyhow), but if you really want to know who can be trusted, see a person under fire and having to make a choice. When that happens, you see the true character and whether the person is open enough to learn. Every life we live is an opportunity to push back as best as we can or, if we are so weakened or so hemmed in that we cannot push back, to make a stand. I get the impression that it matters more, on the spiritual eternal realm and in respect of how and where we continue on to, than does what happens here.
But one thing I kind of have noticed about people who gone through Hell. So many of them, when they have become strong, are then freer to make an informed choice whether to help others because they really know how they can and why they should.
And, Wendy, I can also say that if I meet people in my next life as good as some of the people (you included) I have met in this life, I would not mind coming back at all even if for no other reason than to stand with them. And I hope to see you in the next life because I would sure miss you if you weren’t there.
In light and love, Harold
