Among the many famous believers in reincarnation, one of my favorite poets, John Masefield, said this about it: “I hold that when a person dies his soul returns again to earth; arrayed in some new flesh-disguise another mother gives him birth. With sturdier limbs and brighter brain the old soul takes the road again.”
Here are some further views that I think will interest you:
Henry Ford: “I adopted the theory of reincarnation when I
was 26...Work is futile if we cannot utilize the experience we collect in one
life in the next. When I discovered reincarnation it was as if I had found a
universal plan... Time was no longer limited. I was no longer a slave to the
hands of the clock... Genius is experience... It is the fruit of long
experience in many lives... The discovery of reincarnation put my mind at
ease...”
Richard Wagner: “In contrast to reincarnation and karma, all
other views seem petty and narrow.”
William Wordsworth: “Our birth is but a sleep and a
forgetting; the soul that rises with us, our life’s Star, hath had elsewhere
its setting, and cometh from afar. Not in entire forgetfulness and not in utter
nakedness, but trailing clouds of glory do we come...”
Goethe: “I am certain I have been here as I am now a
thousand times before, and I hope to return a thousand times.”
Voltaire: “It is not more surprising to be born twice than
once; everything in nature is resurrection.”
George Elliot: “Our deeds still travel with us from afar.
And what we have been makes us what we are.”
