 Can animals be reincarnated If people can be reincarnated,can animals?
OR do they come back as people, or do we come back as animals?

Re: Can animals be reincarnated THE IDEA OF REINCARNATION IS THAT THE SPIRIT LIVES ON AFTER DEATH AND CAN BE REBORN (THOUGH HOW AND WHEN IS DIFFERENT AMONGST THE MANY BELIEFS OF REINCARNATION)... BUT FUNDAMENTALLY THEY ARE THE SAME.. IF A SOUL IS PRESENT REINCARNATION CAN HAPPEN... SO THE QUESTION YOU NEED TO ASK IS DO ANIMALS HAVE A SOUL.

Re: Can animals be reincarnated If we are reincarnated into animals, does that answer the question "do animals have souls"?
What is a soul anyway?

Re: Can animals be reincarnated AGAIN MAEL... YOU POSE A QUESTION THAT IS WAY WAY WAY OPEN TO MANY DIFFERENT DEFINITIONS...I THINK THAT TO DEFINE THE SOUL/CONSCIOUS/MIND IS SIMILAR TO ENERGY.. IN THAT IS WELL KNOWN TO EVERYONE..YET TRY TO DEFINE IT.. AND IT BECOMES A BIT MORE DIFFICULT
AND IF THE SOUL IS REINCARNATED AND COMES BACK IN THE FORM OF AN ANIMAL(MEANING A LIVING BEING THAT IS NONHUMAN).. THEN YES......... BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS.. THAT IS A HYPOTHETICAL SITUATION... IN SIMILAR FASHION.. IF A SOUL IS REINCARNATED BUT DOESNT COME BACK AS A NON HUMAN ANIMAL IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT NEVER TAKES PLACE
FURTHER THOUGHT... IT ALSO DEPENDS ON HOW YOU VIEW HUMANITY.. ARE WE CREATIONS OF A GOD.. OR ARE WE PART OF EVOLUTION..MOST PEOPLE WHO ASSOCIATE THEMSELVES WITH BEING A CREATION OF A GOD SEE A DISTINCT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HUMAN AND ANIMALS... BUT LOOKING AT HUMANS FROM EVOLUTION STANDPOINT.. WE ARE ANIMALS..AND ELIMINATES THE QUESTION OF "CAN HUMANS BE REINCARNATED AS ANIMALS" ALL TOGETHER

I had a similar post on a (now dead) paranormal forum, in regards to how come there aren't billions of ghost mosquitos out there. A guy replied that beliefs state that an animal has to have a soul in order to continue on, which mosquitos just exist purely by instinct, and therefore (arguably) don't have a soul. He probably stated it better though. So, yes, there are many kinds of animals that have souls that go on. Dunno about if they get reincarnated though.

Re: Can animals be reincarnated Got me on that one. I accept the fact or to me a fact, that there can be animal ghosts, no laughing please, I really do. As for reincarnation for folks, totally agree. As for animals, never gave much thought to that but I am totaly oppen to the notion. I just wonder what they would come back as?
