Does reincarnation suffer from an amnesia problem in it's intended functioning?

Reincarnation allows us to make up for our sins in the previous lives, right?But how are we supposed to do that if we forget everything about our previous life when we are reborn.



If we do good in this life then we can improve our station in the next life but what about the sins we still carry around with us.How do we make up for them if we can't even remember them, huh?



Or is the slate wiped clean after we are reincarnated so we can start from scratch?Does reincarnation suffer from an amnesia problem in it's intended functioning?
Think of the Reincarnation cycle as one long wide road that the "Physical" Us traverse from the Animal level to Enlightenment with the Soul guiding us. "Lead us not into Temptation" just happens to be those Side roads that lead to Dead Ends. The people walking ahead of us warn us of these, they are the Wise ones who tell us that smoking just isn't worth it, Violence doesn't lead us anywhere, Stuff like that. In every life cycle we meet them and learn. Sin is not heeding this wisdom, we loose valuable time, wander, but there is always someone to pull us back into the Main road. It may take many life cycles to get back but we do, in the end, continue our journey. If you do believe in Reincarnation then you need to flip your vision from that of a physical Human Being who doesn't know what happens before you are born and after you die, to someone who realizes that he may very well be a soul choosing particular lives in order to check out where this road leads, including those dark alleys!
It's a made up idea, so you can make up your own explanations, there is nothing about reincarnation that is based on empirical science.



The more far fetched, the better the explanation.Does reincarnation suffer from an amnesia problem in it's intended functioning?
you will get all the doubts cleared if you meditate under a capable guru who can lead your life. meditate and enjoy by feeling the essence.
people are not reincarnated thats unethical seriously! like yes lets make the human race never ending and let them suffer! i think because new people with new consciences and new views are born that civilization can evolve and not old *recycled* people i know thats mean but thats how i see reincarnation it deprives you of the opportunity to show you matter since you re going to do this all over again anyway so whats the rush! i don't believe that were born into this life to improve our station in our next life then its a never ending circle meaning the human race will never die out which is impossible we will eventually die out!Does reincarnation suffer from an amnesia problem in it's intended functioning?
Of course. I have forgotten everything from my previous life(lives). Even that I lived them.
Reincarnation does not happen to re-teach our human experience to us. It is a soul-lesson. Reincarnation theory explains that since our human existence happens along with our soul, whatever we do in our mortal/human life leaves its impressions or lessons on our soul. It may not even be a matter of "messing" up in this life we know. Ultimately, our soul's journey is not up to us. We are granted life in order to experience it. Physically, we may not remember past experience--although there are those who are in touch with impressions of past lives.



We are on a dual journey, when you think about it. There is the experience we have "here," and the one our soul has everywhere else. It's kind of neat, when you think about it.
If you are truly interested in this then you need to know that Jesus, Himself declared that there was no such thing as reincarnation when he said "Man is appointed once to die and after that the judgement." The Apostle Paul said "To be absent from the body was to be present with the Lord." Live your life now for you won't get another chance.
You're in charge: you need to remember that. You have total and absolute free will (except when it clashes with another person's free will). The core dynamic of reincarnation is free will (yours and those who come in contact with you). That's the only way you can learn -- through the choices you make and experiencing the consequences of those choices.



It's not about "making up for sins." It's about learning, becoming enlightened. Karma can be very difficult at times but it is always positive, if you're open to understanding its lesson. Life is a learning experience in which we teach ourselves through cause and effect and - always - through free will.



"Sin" is a very misleading term to use when the subject is reincarnation. It's a word that relates back to superstitious ideas about being punished (for punishment's sake) by some divinely wrathful being. What you think of as sin is actually ignorance: it's like an empty place within the individual where wisdom should be, but isn't yet. Think of the angry little child who bites his mum when he doesn't get his way, or throws his toy at a playmate when feeling angry. A young child who misbehaves that way doesn't understand the harm he is doing; he will have to learn these things as he matures. In a way we are all children at the soul level, still learning and evolving.
