An interesting post on the Reincarnation Forum:
My thesis on the Animistic Reincarnation Beliefs throughout the world
Perhaps the author makes a particular emphasis, but the broadness of the concept is of interest, I feel.
An interesting post on the Reincarnation Forum:
My thesis on the Animistic Reincarnation Beliefs throughout the world
Quote:Here is my worldly reincarnation thesis, the aim of which is to prove that the belief in reincarnation was more ubiquitously widespread throughout the world than people are aware of. It is ignorant misinformation to insist that Buddhism and Hindu were the sources from when the rebirth doctrine was derived! For instance, the philosophies of neither Buddhism nor Hindu were disseminated to any notable degree throughout Africa, Australia and North America; yet there are vast numbers of Animistic belief systems throughout those continents in which have honored the belief in reincarnation prior to the spread of Hindu or Buddhism to those provincial regions. This indicates a pattern which observes the fact that reincarnation has been literally recognized as a valid phenomenon within the human psychic, not a fabrication of superstition which originated from Hindu or Buddhism. We must repudiate the ignorantly conjectural notion in which ascertains such undue credit unto the Buddhist and Hindu Theosophies.
