Regarding Reincarnation

In the literature you'll find many discussions on the alleged factual concept of reincarnation as well as the recorded testimony of thousands of people (and no doubt there are thousands more unrecorded) that they have lived previous lives - usually as somebody famous or at least well known which in itself is more than just a little bit suss since the vast majority of deceased people were commoners - the great unwashed. But what is even stranger is that one rarely finds a reincarnation that goes back more than a couple of thousand years at best. Everyone who has died and been reincarnated has come from our historical period, never from prehistory. But 'modern' Homo sapiens can be traced back over 100,000 years. But why stop there? Why not report your reincarnation from one of our hominoid ancestor species from a million years ago, or ten million years ago? And why not go back even farther? Surely you might have once been living as a proto-primate or as a dinosaur or as a trilobite or even as a unicellular organism some three billion years ago! Of course having a past life as a trilobite or as an ancient amoeba isn't very sexy and won't sell many books or get you on too many TV shows. Being once Moses or Jesus or Napoleon or Cleopatra or Plato or Mozart is on the other hand a conversation starter.

One question that arises is that is resurrection hence reincarnation in a really real reality a voluntary action of your own free will or is it, in the case of say a virtual reality, imposed by the software?

The major historical problem with accounts of reincarnation is they the persons concerned never relate any additional useful information about the life and times of the person concerned. On reflection, it's not hard to see why. Previous memories based on previous lives is absolute hogwash.

In a really real reality world, the alleged memories of reincarnations are nonsense since the egg and sperm that conceive multicellular beings (like you) have no encoded previous existent memories to genetically pass on. Since your mother's egg had no mind, personality, memories, etc. and ditto that for your father's sperm, at conception you had no mind, no knowledge, no creativity, no spirituality, and especially no memories that you could possibly relate back to any previous life or lives. Of course at conception you also had no brains, no heart, no lungs, and no sensory organs of any kind or even any real body yet to speak of. All of that material stuff flowed on by that material nature build into your genetics and the material additions to your newly conceived 'body' came via nutrients supplied via your mother's body; post birth by your own feeding and breathing. So any 'mind' and any memories you acquire are material in nature just like your body / brain and thus its tough luck for your hoped for duality and the sort of benefits that might have resulted in, like say evidence of a reincarnation(s).
