I like to think that if reincarnation is real, the reason it can’t be verified is because the universe is so vast, the likelihood of reincarnating as something on Earth is super miniscule. Even if you could only come back as something intelligent like a human, if there are other intelligent life forms in the universe, the odds of coming back as a human on Earth would be super small.
Which is why I always interpret the mere concept of reincarnation as a product of our own selfish assumption that we as a species matter in the grander picture.
And here I was thinking reincarnation was a among same species like if you’re born a titmouse you can only be reincarnated as another titmouse then again how would that work as evolution comes around like how much can a cardinal mutate before it’s no longer a cardinal
I’ll offer this (even though I fully believe life is prevalent in the universe): Who says you have to be reincarnated in chronological order? You could be reincarnated a dinosaur. A microbe in the primordial soup. A lizard 100 years from now. An armored fish.
So the odds of landing on “human” are pretty small.
If you’re going back in time it’s possible you can end up in different time lines like maybe you could rencarnate into a timeline where Stalin never came into power because you caused him to become the dictator he’s known as today or maybe you could rencarnate as Adolfs mother and have to raise your child knowing the monster he will become shit that actually sounds like a good novel I want to read
I once showerly thought that reincarnation could not even be tied to entities that we would consider sapient. A bit like Leibniz’idea of a monad.
For instance over could be trapped for millennia as a copper atom, solidified in an asteroid. So when you get to be in an animal form it is something fantastically rare and wonderful. And when you get a human body is the most exhilarating thing ever!
If more people were too believe that, life wouldn’t be treated with the disdain we often put on it.
I can’t even imagine being in the same dimension. If the universe is space and everything is made of space than there must be universes between universes.

As if we’re so important…

If microbes were in play for reincarnation, their sheer numbers would make it almost inevitable that you’d reincarnate as one
Does anything say you have to be a higher life form?

I think with reincarnation you don’t get to have any knowledge of anything other than your current existence.

If it it were real, your new memories would simply over write the old ones as your newborn senses develop.
