回答1：
This is a difficult question to answer in a concise way since it involves many different factors, however…

这是一个很用一两句话就能回答的问题，
因为它涉及到太多的方面了……

The concept of reincarnation dates back several thousand years in Indian and some other Far Eastern societies to the time of the Vedas when there was pretty much zero understanding of the science of what happens during life and death. The idea that death was the end of life was unthinkable to these primitive people, and to the overwhelming majority of people back in the bronze age and before, the belief that life was just a part of a continuous cycle of existence was endemic.

轮回的概念可以追溯到几千年前的印度和其他一些远东社会，
在吠陀时代，人们对生命和死亡的知识，几乎一无所知。
对于这些原始人来说，
死亡就是生命的终结这种想法是不可想象的，



People, predominantly but not exclusively from these religions, grow up and live their lives being told that the concept of reincarnation is true and surrounded by a society which believes the concept is true, and often it’s blind faith, ignorance, and fear of being singled out as being different, which keeps them believing in it.

人们一直生活在充满转世轮回的社会意识中，
因无知、恐惧而盲目信仰，就会相信轮回.

As with so many other religious beliefs from around the world, I have to single out ignorance as being a major cause which keeps people still believing in ancient concepts such as this. In some societies this ignorance is a factor of poverty and extremely poor education, however in others I can only describe it as being wilful ignorance, the deliberate choice of completely unevidenced ancient belief and religious dogma over scientific evidence.

与世界各地的许多其他宗教信仰一样，
我认为，无知是导致人们仍然相信诸如此类古老观念的主要原因.
在一些社会中，无知的因贫穷和没有教育造成的.
但是，在另一些社会中，我只能说“无知”是故意的.
这些社会故意选择信奉一些完全没有证据证实的一些古代信仰和宗教，
而不是信奉科学证据.

For reincarnation to be real, there would need to be:

要使转世成为现实，就需要:

The ability for consciousness or awareness to survive the death of the brain of the person or animal concerned - this is an impossibility. Admittedly we don’t yet fully know what consciousness is, but we do know that it’s an exceedingly complex function of the electrical and biochemical activity inside a living brain, and as far as we’re currently aware, only in the brain of certain higher mammals. The definition of death is when all electrical and biochemical activity in the brain ceases, and consequently everything which was ever held in that brain, vanishes. It doesn’t ‘go’ anywhere, it simply ceases to exist. This has been demonstrated experimentally perhaps hundreds of thousands of times.

意识在大脑死亡后仍能存留下来——这是不可能的！
诚然，我们还知道意识是什么，
但我们能断定：
意识是活的大脑内部极其复杂的电子和生化活动的一种功能，
而且就我们目前所知，意识只存在于某些高等哺乳动物的大脑中.

死亡的定义是：
当大脑中所有的电活动和生化活动停止时，
大脑中曾经拥有的一切信息都消失了.
信息并没有去哪里了，信息只是停止存在.
这已经被实验证明了大概几十万次了。

The ability for a person’s or animal’s consciousness or awareness to exist both extracorporeally and immaterially - there is no mechanism which allows for such a thing even when related to a living brain, let alone a dead one. For this to happen, several of the fundamental laws of science would need to be violated, plainly impossible since it’s the inviolable nature of these fundamental laws which govern our own existence.

人或动物的意识存在于体外，存在于非物质世界的能力.
——没有任何机制允许这样的事情发生！
即使与一个活着的大脑有关，这种事也不可能.
更不用说一个死亡的大脑了.
意识要存在于虚空中，就需要违反几条科学基本定律，
这显然是不可能的，因为正是这些基本科学定律的不可侵犯性决定了我们的存在.



But simply believing in something, or wanting it to be true, does not make it true… There is absolutely zero evidence for such a thing; there’s absolutely zero possibility that such a thing as reincarnation - or any form of life after death - could occur.

但是，仅仅迷信某件事，或者希望它是真的，并不能使它成为真的……
像转世这样的事情，或者任何形式的死后复生，都绝对不可能发生.

Religion and religious beliefs such as this have a great deal to answer for, and certainly historically they’ve been one of, if not the, single largest cause of ignorance and lack of scientific progress this world has known.

宗教和诸如此类的宗教信仰有很多需要回答的问题，
而且从历史角度来看，
宗教即使不是阻碍科学发展、造成这个世界愚昧的最大原因，
它也是原因之一.

The bottom line is that anyone who believes that reincarnation is possible is either gullible, deluded, has been religiously indoctrinated, or is just plain ignorant of the scientific facts, wilfully or not.
Thanks for the A2A.

最后结论：
任何迷信转世轮回的人，不管是有意还是无意，
要不就是缺乏科学知识，要不就是被宗教洗脑洗残了.
谢谢你的提问.

Originally Answered: Do you beleive in reincarnation?
I don’t believe, I know! I have the advantage of being able to answer this question because I actually know who I was in 15 of my past lives. How I learned this information is told in my book, “My Journey down the Reincarnation Highway”.As a young 18-year-old German soldier named Alfred Hindiman, I was shot and killed by the British in the month of February 1918 during a night action on the Western front. In my next life, I was born Otto Kostermann in Mandeln, Prussia during the month of February 1922. I served three years fighting on the Russian front until I was stabbed to death by a Russian in an Estonian farmhouse on the night of May 1, 1944. I was born in October 1956 in this life as an American. Our earth lives are custom-made physical 3-D dreams that we step into to learn spiritual lessons and to experience emotions. We can pick and choose any experience we want at any time period at any location on earth. Your soul determines when it comes back and if it comes back. You are in charge of your journey. Many souls choose not to experience Earth life because Earth life is one of the most difficult tests in the universe. But by going through these earth experiences, your soul advances faster and as the Spirits have told me, “rank has its privileges”. So there definitely is a payoff for going through the garbage that we do down here .

我不相信轮回，我知道！（注：原文如此，应是笔误）.
我之所以能够回答这个问题，
是因为在我过去的15年里，我真的知道自己是谁.
我是如何得知自己前世是谁的，在我的书《我的轮回之路》中有讲述.

1918年2月，我是一名18岁的德国士兵，
名叫阿尔弗雷德·英迪曼.
在西线的一次夜间行动中，我被英国人开枪打死.

1922年2月，我在普鲁士曼德尔恩投胎，出生时我叫奥托·科斯特曼.
我在俄罗斯前线服役三年，
直到1944年5月1日晚在爱沙尼亚的一个农舍里被一名俄罗斯人刺死.

1956年10月，我再次投胎成为一个美国人.
我们投胎在地球上，经历的是三维生命体.
我们进入“地球生命”历程，是为了体验灵性和情感.

我们的灵魂可以在地球上任何时间、任何地点挑选我们想要的任何体验.
你的灵魂决定它何时回来，是否回来.
你的灵魂负责你的生命旅程.

许多灵魂并不想来地球体验生命历程，
因为地球生命是宇宙中最困难的考验之一.
但是，通过，你的灵魂经历了地球体验之后，会升级得更快，
正如灵魂告诉我的“打怪等级有高低之分”.
所以，我们的灵魂（到地球来经历）肯定是有回报的.

I felt a strong urge to believe in reincarnation when I was in my early twenties, which is when I first thought that the experience of one lifetime would be insufficient to learn all that this world has to offer.

在我二十岁出头的时候，我有一种强烈的转世轮回感觉，
那是我第一次觉得，人只活一世，就不足以了解大千世界的一切.

Twenty years later, I was approached by two spirits who spoke to me through another person (this was directly, not channeled, and I had made no attempt to elicit the contact). They told me about the spirit world and our purpose here, and they confirmed my belief in both reincarnation and that there is an afterlife. They are my sources for what follows.

二十年后，两个幽灵联系我，
他们通过另一个人跟我说话(这是直接说话，不是心灵感受，而且我也没有主动去感受这两个幽灵).
他们告诉我关于精神世界的事，以及我们在这世界的目的是什么，
他们证实了我对转世和来世的信仰.
因此我写了下文：

A human spirit will reincarnate only as another human; an animal spirit will reincarnate only as another animal of the same species. A human spirit will also have several reincarnations in other physical worlds, into the equivalent of a human life form.

人的灵魂转世只会成为另一个人;
动物的灵魂只会转世只会成为同一物种的另一个动物.
一个人的灵魂也会在其他物质世界中有几个转世，
变成等同于一个人的生命形式.

My sources said that, over time, a spirit will attach to many lifetimes in order to learn the lessons that can only be learned in a physical existence, but their permanent home is the spirit world and they might spend many years or decades there between lifetimes. They described it as a place of opportunity, growth, and purpose within the illumination of the Light, which is an emanation of the Creator.

据我所得的消息是：
随着时间的推移，一个灵魂会转世很多次，
就是为了体验各种物质世界.
但是，灵魂的归宿是精神世界，它未投胎转世时，会呆在精神世界里很多年.
灵魂会把精神世界视为一个机会、成长和归宿的地方，
精神世界沐浴在造物主散发的明光之下.

I was also told about a long-lost destiny named Michael. A few days later, I was told that he was dying. I reached out to him on a spiritual level and he saw me in a dream. Michael knew that he had known me before, and I knew that he had a son. Later, we both had visions of a past life we had shared, which my sources confirmed as accurate.

我跟一个很久没联系过、叫迈克尔的人聊过天，
没过几天，我就听说他要死了.
我在精神世界找到了他，他在梦中见到了我.
迈克尔知道他以前认识我，我也知道他有一个儿子.
后来，我们都对过去的生活点点滴滴回忆了起来.
我的（来自精神世界的）消息来源让我知道了（他过去的生活）.

你们要是想知道我的经历，或者（跟我联系的两个幽灵）的经历，

My Grandfather, as I mentioned, passed when I was twelve. He had dementia, gangrene and was deaf, dumb and blind after a series of strokes. On the day he died, I came home from school not ten minutes before he passed, and I have always sensed that he was waiting for me to get home safe before he left. (We were very close.)

我提到过，我祖父在我十二岁时去世的.
他患有痴呆症、坏疽，在一系列中风后又聋又哑又瞎.
他去世的那天，我从学校回到家还不到十分钟，他就去世了.
我一直觉得他是在等我回到家才咽气（我们非常亲密).

Three years passed, and I''d just sat my final GCSE exam. I was leaving through the front doors of the school building with my best friend walking beside me on my right. We were both a little concerned, but not overly so, with our performance in the exam, but everything was utterly normal...

三年过去了，我刚刚完成了GCSE的期末考试.
我从学校大楼的前门出去，我最好的朋友走在我的右边.
我们都有点担忧考试的结果，但一切都很正常……

Until I heard, clear as day from my left side, my Grandfather say to me, "Don''t worry love, it''ll all be okay". I felt him put his arm around me and I quickly looked around.

直到我听到，清晰如白昼从我的左边，我的祖父对我说，“不要担心，宝贝，一切都会好的”.
我感到他伸出胳膊搂住了我.
我迅速环顾四周.

There was nobody within twenty feet of me on my left side.
So yes, I believe in life after death.As for reincarnation, I was Atlantean last time round, a priestess. I''ve also been around in Arthurian times. My mother''s previous incarnation was as a Victorian flower girl.Anyway, reincarnation makes sense. Look at it this way: Nature recycles stars; why not souls?

在我左边二十英尺以内没有任何人.
是的，我相信人死后还有生命.
至于转世，我上次是亚特兰蒂斯人，是一个女祭司.
我也曾在亚瑟王时代待过.
我母亲以前是维多利亚时代的花童.
不管怎样，轮回是有意义的.
从这个角度来看:天上的星星周而复始地运动着，那灵魂为啥不是轮回周转呢？

and theres the question that many ppl ask. how do you explain people that claim to be a man trapped in a womans body or a woman trapped in a mans body? could it be possible that they were a man or a woman in their past life and brought some essence of it back into a new life?

评论：

这是很多人讨论这个问题：
你如何解释那些声称自己是被困在女人身体里的男人？
或被困在男人身体里的女人?
有没有可能是他们在过去的生活中是一个男人或一个女人，
并把其中的灵魂带回到新的生活中?

The way we humans change clothes every day our soul changes body once the last physical body is torn away due to wear & tear of life. Nothing in this world is permanent. Change is an order of nature as you said ''recycled''. So, yes everything is in cycle & repeats itself when there is a favourable environment for it.

我们人类每天都换衣服，直到衣服破了就重新买一件.
我们的灵魂也是这样，不断地换肉体，肉体磨损破裂后就重新换一个来寄生.
这个世界上没有什么是永恒不变的.
改变是一种自然规律，就像你说的“循环”.
所以，是的，一切都是周而复始，有了新的好环境，任何事物都重新寄生.

Yes, I’m spiritual, I’m out here, and I believe in reincarnation.No … it’s more than a belief; it’s a knowledge. I have knowledge of reincarnation.
I have had vivid glimpses into seven of my previous incarnations. I was a woman in one of them, and a man in the six others. My earliest memory was as an ancient Chinese peasant sailor, steering the helm of a doomed ship in a violent storm. I experienced the fright and trauma of drowning. About 20 Rosicrucians witnessed this reincarnation exercise, and most of them agreed that I had drowned at sea in a storm.Mostly my lives were as peasants (e.g., helping to build a pyramid in ancient Egypt), and only one as an aristocrat in about 1300 CE in France. I was in a big room in a castle, and I smelled the dusty floor-to-ceiling tapestries behind me, as I sat in a big chair facing a roaring fire.My most recent live (before this one) was as a landowner in South Carolina in the early 1800s. I was looking up a driveway to my wife, who was dressed in a billowy southern-belle gown. Later scenes for that life had my wife and me in a dining room, with three children running around and some servants in the background. A remarkable fact about this life is that I met in my current life the soul personality of my wife from the South Carolina one. She looked different, of course, but for certain I could tell that they were the same soul personalities. In this current life, she did not acknowledge that we had been married before, but, being Roman Catholic, she was biased against reincarnation.The other glimpses into my previous lives were uneventful.I wrote about these and related spiritual matters in my book I Believe: A Rosicrucian Looks at Christianity and Spirituality.

是的，我有灵性的，我在这里，我相信轮回.
轮回不仅仅是一种信仰，而是知识.
我知道关于转世轮回的事：
我已经见证过自己前7次的投胎了.

我最早的记忆是，一个中国古代的农民水手，
在一场猛烈的风暴中掌舵一艘注定要沉没的船.
我是船上的一个女人，其余六个人是男的.

我经历了溺水的恐惧和创伤.
大约有20个玫瑰十字会会员见证了这一轮回投胎.
（注：玫瑰十字会时几百年前德国创立的一个秘密会社）
他们中的大多数人都以为我在一场暴风雨中淹死了.

我前世的大部分生活都是农民的生活
(例如，在古埃及帮助法老建造金字塔)，
只有在公元1300年左右投胎法国时，我是贵族.

我在一座城堡的一间大房间里，
坐在一张面对熊熊炉火的大椅子上，
闻到身后从地板到天花板布满灰尘的挂毯的味道.

我最近一次投胎是在19世纪初，
成为南卡罗来纳的一个地主.
我望着车道上的妻子，她穿着一件飘逸的南方美人礼服.
在后来的场景中，
我和妻子在一间餐厅里，有三个孩子跑来跑去，后面还有几个仆人.

这一世，有一个事是，
我遇到了我前世的妻子，她来自南卡罗来纳州.
当然，今世的她和前世的她，看上去不一样，
但我可以肯定地说，两个“她”都是同一个灵魂.
在目前的生活中，她不承认我们前世结过婚，
她作为罗马天主教徒，她不相信轮回.

其他的几次投胎，都比较平淡，没什么可写的.
我在我的书《我相信:一个玫瑰十字会会员看待基督教和灵性》
中写到了这些相关的灵性问题.

I do believe, though not because I recall any past lives, myself. My first son was stillborn at 5–6 months gestation. I had to go through labor and delivery to deliver my dead son, who had no developed brain stem. Approximately 2 years later, I gave birth to my son, Alex. He is now 30. At just shy of 2 years of age, he had a very limited vocabulary. His five ‘words’ were Mama, Dada, Baba for bottle, guy-guy for doggie, and meow-meow for the cat. I still ached, when I thought of the son I’d lost. I was playing on the living room floor with Alex, when he suddenly began speaking in complete sentences. He said he had been with ‘them’ looking down on me, saw me crying on a floral sofa in a red skirt with buttons, and that he wanted to come to me. He said he was told not to worry, that I’d be ok, and he would be with me soon. He described a clear bassinet type of carrier, that he could see through to view me. My son had never seen that sofa, which was several states away at my parent’s home. That red skirt was way too small for me, and had been given away long before he mentioned it. Suffice to say, I never shed another tear for my lost son, because I realized he was already back with me. Alex returned to using the same 5 words, and did not speak in complete sentences again for months. He has no memory of any of it, today. I don’t know if reincarnation applies to me, though I am certain my son was reincarnated. Because his first body was broken, God brought him back to us in a new body. Because that happened to Alex, I believe it can happen to others.

我相信轮回，原因并不是我记得前世的生活.
我的第一个儿子在怀孕5-6个月时脑干发育不全，分娩时已经是胎死腹中.
大约两年后，我生下了儿子亚历克斯.
现在他已经30岁了.

他两岁的时候，只会说很简单的一些话，
他就只会说这五句话：妈妈，爸爸，爸爸是瓶子，男孩是小狗，猫喵喵叫.
当时，一想起失去的那个儿子时，我非常心痛.
有一天，我正在客厅的地板上和亚历克斯玩，
突然，他开始用完整的句子说话了.

I am not sure about individual reincarnations but I see the fact(not a belief ) of reincarnation of belief systems. The moment a belief system or religion comes into existence, it seeks it''s continuity. It needs individuals to continue. For example there are around 6 billion individuals in the world. But at the levels of belief systems very few. Christianity may take 2 Billions, Islam may take 1.6 billions, Hinduism may take one billion, Buddhism may take 400 millions. Four religions take 5 billions. It means individuals are not living but religions are living in and though individuals. If I say I am a Christian it is the reincarnation of Christianity. If I say I am Muslim, it is the reincarnation of Islam, if I say I am a Hindu, it is the reincarnation of Hinduism. If I say I am Buddhist it is the reincarnation of Buddhism. Individuals come and go but religions continue. This is what I call reincarnation of belief systems. For me it is not a belief it is a fact .
When Christ said: I am the way, the truth and the life, he went beyond the reincarnation of belief systems. In reincarnation the past uses the present in order to go into the future. In incarnation the present manifests eternity. Jesus Christ lives the life of incarnation and invited everyone to do the same.

我不知道个人会不会投胎转世，但是，我看到宗教会投胎转世.
一种信仰体系或宗教出现的那一刻，它就会寻求永远延续自己.
它需要一代又一代的人来继承下去.

例如，世界上大约有60亿人，
基督教可能需要20亿，
伊斯兰教可能需要16亿，
印度教可能需要10亿，
佛教可能需要4亿，
四个宗教需要50亿人来继承它.
这就是说，个人可以消亡，但是，宗教会一直寄生在一代又一代人身上.

如果我说我是基督徒，那就是基督教投胎在我身上的转世.
如果我说我是MSL，那就是YSL教投胎在我身上的转世，
如果我说我是印度教徒，那就是印度教投胎在我身上的转世.
如果我说我是佛教徒，那就是佛教投胎在我身上的转世.

个人来了又走，但宗教一直延续，这就是我所说的信仰体系的转世.
对我来说，这不是一种信仰，而是一个事实.
当基督说:我就是道路、真理和生命的时候，他就超越了信仰体系的转世.
在转世中，过去用现在来进入未来，现在化身展现永恒.
耶稣基督过着道成肉身的生活，并让每个人都跟他走.
