This isn't a question of what you believe will happen when you die. This is a question of what you want to happen when die.
When I die, I want to be given the option to be reborn in the exact same circumstances that I was originally born in. I want everything to be the same. I want to be born in the same hospital, by the same doctor, have the same parents, same family, be born in the same house, etc. I would even want to have the same physical attributes. I would want the same eye color, height, wieght, hair color, blood type, etc.
The only thing I would change is my knowledge. I would want to be born with all the knowledge I had in my past lives. I would use my knowledge to do extroadinary things. I would start training various sports very young and try to condition myself to become an olympic athlete first. Then, after I die again, I would repeat the process, except with a different sport. Then a different sport. I would keep doing this until I become known as the greatest player ever in every sport I can think of. For my next life, I would try to become president of the United States. Next time, I would try to win a Nobel Prize. Next time, I would be the most notorious seriel killer. Next time, I would build an army. Next time, I would try to be the richest man alive. I would do these lifetimes over and over until I accomplish every extroadinary goal I could think of. I would have a great time giving myself ridiculous challenges.
And when I do get bored with myself, I would change some things up - where I was born, who my parents are, what country I was born in, what race I was, etc. And when I get bored of being born in the same time period, I would try new times in history to be born. I would birth myself in the past and the future. And then, when I really want to try something interesting, I would birth myself with the exact same conditions as various significant people - Ghandi, Abraham Lincoln, Micheal Jordan, Bill Gates, Albert Enstein, Neil Armstrong, cavemen, etc.
I would then birth myself into horrible conditions to challenge myself into trying to accomplish a lot with very little resources. I would start off by birthing myself into a middle-class American family and steadily working my way down to being born in the poorest nation in Africa. I would try to push myself to accomplish the most ambitious goals while having very little resources.
I would probably change & create major historical occurences as well. I would prevent Martin Luther King from being shot. Then in my next life, I would kill him at birth just to see what would happen. I would have assissinated Hitler at birth. I would make marijuana legal. Etc All just to see what would happen.
And maybe, when I do get bored of doing this, I would erase my memory of everything I've learned and store all the data in some secret database (I wouldn't permanently delete anything). I would then start all over and go through life without ever knowing the thousands of lives I lived before this. Rince and Repeat.
What about you?
