FYI, you're kinda acting like a murderer.
[08:01AM EDT; Montreal, Quebec]
[Phone rings]
[Its [info]researchbased]
James: Hello
Daniel: Good morning Jamie, how are you?
James: Hi Dan, I’m at work, like usual, what’s up?
Daniel: I’m on my way to work, then supper afterwards, what about you?
James: Here until 3:30, then nothing.
Daniel: You have really blue eyes.
James: Yeah..
Daniel: Hold on, I want to read you something... ”.. he walked with confidence and dressed well, conjuring an impression of wealth and achievement. He was 26 years old, five feet, eight inches, he weighed only 155 pounds. He had brown hair and striking blue eyes, once likened to the eyes of a mesmerist.” ...You look exactly like H.H. Holmes!
James: The killer?
Daniel: Yeah
James: Did you know we have the same birthday? Different year though. And I don’t have a crazy 1800’s moustache. Oh! Also! I don’t murder people.
Daniel: Yet.
James: Hey! I am not the reincarnation of a murderer.
Daniel: You don’t know that for sure.
James: He was the worst murderer in North America!
Daniel: No, that was Albert Fish, who is actually more like my boyfriend.
James: Well Holmes was in the top five, I'm sure.
Daniel: He was pretty 1800’s hot. You can’t tell me he wasn’t!
James: Moustache? I don’t think so, Danny.

Chatlogs, lol. I wonder if I should believe in reincarnation? Should I rename my house to MURDER CASTLE? I’m thinking “Definite Yes” on the latter.

People who believe they've been reincarnated have always been someone famous. I'm probably the reincarnation of some boring guy who worked in a mill and played Xbox all night.

I'm pretty sure I'm some guy who OD'd on coke in the 80's. Nothing else can explain my love for The Human League.

Yes. It's been awhile since the last Harold and Kumar movie and it'll give them somewhere to go to or escape from.

I dislike the New Age and think most "religious" people actually aren't, but I am a believer that reincarnation is possible after reading the works of Ian Stevenson. I actually was accepted to a summer internship in his Department of Personality Studies at Univ. of Virginia, but winded up not going at the last minute.

Well he's dead now, so you'll have to wait a little bit I think?

Do you believe most "I'm Cleopatra... RE-INCARNATED" stories, or are they bullshit made up by attention whores? I have no idea how anything like this could be validated at any point by anyone anywhere. Its just a matter of blind faith I suppose?

That's mostly deluded attention-whoredom, I'd say. Even if it's said in earnest it's just a case of identification with the object / confluence, which happens very frequently in narcissism or schizophrenia.

Mythology aside, Stevenson's work provides some evidence for reincarnation; he is always careful to say that his work is only "suggestive of reincarnation" though he clearly leans that way. His evidence certainly does suggest something strange is happening -- especially when children remember highly specific details of their past lives. Some will point out and name their former relatives and friends when they are brought forward, some give intimate details that only the past-life person could possibly have known.

And as Voltaire remarked, it's no less surprising to be born twice than it is to be born once.

Hm.. I think I might agree. Bonus points if his eyes are light in colour, like blue, or green!

I think he was 1800s hot...

I think what could add to this is that he probly had 1800's charm and dignity.
This is where the obvious line starts to show in between the relation.
