Reincarnation

Reincarnation, as a doctrine, holds the notion that one's personality, spirit, soul, 'true self', 'I' (not to be confused with the Ego as defined by psychology) or critical parts of these returns to the material world after physical death to be reborn in a new body. The natural process is Considered integrative of all experiences from each lifetime. Transmigration is a theory that considers inter-species embodiments. As a mystical doctrine, Reincarnation of a human being is always as a human being. Its occurrence is a central tenet of Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism, Surat Shabda Yoga, some African religions, as well as various other religions and philosophies. Most modern Pagans also believe in reincarnation.
