The Multiverse was discovered when the Flash of Earth-One accidentally vibrated into the Earth-Two universe where the Golden Age superheroes lived...

I'm still pondering this question. There are so many argument on this subject. I hope there is though. It will be scary if there's nothing after that. All consciousness gone.
You can call it gene memory. But, a friend of my mom (who I'm also close to) has a grand nephew who was born and grew up overseas. He has never been to my hometown. But, when they brought him there, he insisted that he used to live there before and pointed out many places that he has never gone before. Also, the local food that he has never eaten before. He will point out which one is his favourite.

Respect other people's opinions and views. If we learn how to do that than all of these fights and arguments will not occur.
Yea, there are many cases of this from what I have heard. I wonder if you guys have ever experienced "deja vu". I experience that a lot in my life. Sometimes when I am experiencing that moment I slowly forget it because I am actually living it... Also, a lot of times when I am experiencing something, it seems so familiar to me. Even certain people that I have met, it sometimes felt as if I have known them for a long time.

Yea my mom always taught us to be good people and not do something bad or else we will suffer. Also, we will owe other people. She always says not to promise anyone anything unless we can really do it or else we will owe them. If we don't repay them in this life, we will have to repay them in the next life. Of course we are more than just our bodies. I am not sure about the personality, but our spirits/souls gets transferred over for sure. I also don't want to believe that I could have been a guy in my previous life....

I wonder what does soul mean in this case. What makes us us? If there was past lifetimes obviously we can't remember them. So what makes us us is more than our bodies and memories. So maybe personality gets carried over if there was reincarnation?
Bodisattva are beings who forgoe final liberation (Nirvana) to help liberate others. It probably takes many lifetimes to cultivate that level (according to Buddhist tradition). The most popular one is Guan Yin. If u watched Journey to the West she's the one who helps out Monkey King and company the most.

Read this. It's interesting. It's pretty new age, but, they believe in reincarnation.
Yeah, I've read a lot of new age stuff that believe in reincarnation. But, it's a bit different from the traditional 'we own people something, we have to pay' or 'we do bad things in past life, thus out life sux now'. It's like you postulate, they believe that your personality, limitation etc are shaped by experiences of our past lives. We carry a lot of baggage from past lives. Like a person drown in past life is afraid of water this life. A person who is afraid to speak up might have gotten punished severely for speaking up in his past life.
Of course, by this, it doesn't mean all our personality is shaped by past lives. Some are shaped my upbringing, the experiences in this life including birth trauma and experiences in the womb.
Another interesting theory about reincarnation is not that we came here in this life to learn lesson. So, it's not all about paying debt. I think that's why people can tell fortune to numerology, astrology etc. Because when you need to learn a certain lesson, you will be born in certain time, place, etc. Even the name, I also read in a book called 'Kryon' that a person who killed some in past life might have the same opportunity to kill someone again in this life (instead if being killed), to give him the opportunity to choose differently.

the idea of our present life being shaped by past lives is pretty interesting. i never thought of it like that. Buddhists/Hindus also believe in karma. things you did in your previous life may affect your current life. so i guess in this viewpoint fate & karma may play a role to shape your experiences (and also personality as a result).
Hmm... so if someone feels a bloodlust, it's because he was a serial killer of sorts in the past life, or because he was killed brutally?
It all sort of depends on whether or not you can get a subscription in Heaven or Hell.

i just find the notion that guys could have been girls and girls could have been guys in previous lives interesting...... wouldn't that break the theory of "guys are from mars and girls are from venus"? i.e. That its impossible for guys to understand girls and girls to understand guys.
Haha, that's a hard question to answer.
I've always wonder about this karma thing. The traditional one we learn about is when we do bad things, we will have bad things happen to us in the next live, that we have to pay our debt. But, if we have bad things happen to us, someone (most probably our victim in the past life) has to do the bad things. So, that someone will generate bad karma and he will need to suffer in his next life. So, in order to realise our bad karma, he himself gain bad karma and the circle will be never ending.
But, I find reincarnation still more logical than you go to heaven or hell for eternity for what you did in a short period of 1 life. God will seem really unfair if we are all clean souls but some born into good life while others born into a very bad life.
