I have a theory which sounds kind of Twilight Zonish, I can't be sure how true it is and I really don't believe it........................
But sometimes I ponder the following:
What if say each person lives his/her life.
Dies.
And comes back as himself/herself again and on the same day/year he or she was born, same family, same looks, same name, same house, same siblings, same everything.
And lives the same life with the same realities over again?
Except that he/she is meant to apply the lessons he/she learned in the last and other incarnations so as to hopefully make the next life turn out better?

Well, let's put it this way, it's no weirder than any other spiritual theory.
It also appears to be (won't say "is," I can't actually know) yet another self-comforting mechanism as concerns life and death.

You don't believe your own theory?
And you are asking us if it feasible?
No its not feasible.
When I was growing up, my cousin was into astrology and believed in the next life you would come back as the next star sign which was slightly more 'learned' than the last one. So for example Aries was the baby - young gullible and innocent. In the next life you would be Taurus, the next Gemini and so on through to Pisces who is the oldest and wisest star sign. In each life you would learn something new and take it with you into the next life. Then you would start the whole cycle again.
All complete nonsense of course.

I can't say I believe my theory, I just play around with it in my head.
What would it mean to own your own life, and what would that have to do with reincarnation?
Since we all find ourselves living an unasked-for life, and since our existence and upbringing are the confluence of a host of causal chains that we have little to no say in, I would say the answer to "Do You Own Your Own Life" is no.
I like the theory and it feels right to me...............
But
Say that I was born in 1958 and my father was born in 1930.
I come back in 2013 and my father is my father again, he was born in 1985.
If my father learns from his mistakes and does his second life differently?
Why is there an 100% guarantee that my father will even meet my mother since his even doing one thing differently might put him on a different path?
Maybe it means that only you or I are real in our personal realities and the other people are just backdrops?
