Pretending you could come back in another life, what would you want to do and or who would you be. I have a few things, I'd love to be a dietian and save the world from obesity and health problems.....OR.....
Would come back rich and set up programs for smart poor kids to go to college which includes homes for
them to live in....doing something good in the world. I'd also like to solve the relationship problem and see everyone live happily ever after......dream on.....

I already believe in reincarnation but never thought about who I would like to be when I come back.

You mean once wasn't enough...

That's a toughie. I actually don't think I'd like to come back. At least I wouldn't want to be conscious of what the world was like before. Too much will have changed and not necessarily for the better. One possibility, if I were conscious of my past life, would be as a child of one of my grandchildren or great-grandchildren. Then I could see how my kids and grandkids turned out and what they become. If that's a little too creepy, I'd like to come back as a doctor who is capable of great healing. A discoverer of the cure for some terrible disease.

There is a long list of things I would like to accomplish, so if I came back in another life I would have to go through a personal transformation before beginning the next life. My transformation would change me and only me. During my change process, I would lose avarice, illusions of importance, meanness, hyper-criticism, and the need to control others. There may be other qualities that I should shed during that time. Assuming that my thorough personal transformation does not require all of eternity, I can emerge and enter the next phase as a person who has no need to criticize, judge, or control other people. I am getting the merest glimmer of how my life can be...

Now, I live within my own life, and others live within their own life boundaries. Free of the old, heavy burdens associated with the inane and often hidden and/or convoluted attempts to control others, I am free to live humbly, decently, gently, and kindly. I still have the skills to fend off the self-appointed judges, critics, over-controllers, and other pests. But I do not need them as much as I did before my transformation. Now, I am attracting another sort of person. People who are farther on the journey are available to mentor me. They demonstrate effective ways to live and they show me how to reach the next phase of better living...

And on it goes...

I would come back as DavePi. Why would anyone want to come back as anyone that wasn't perfect? Just pulling your chain a little Dave.

Interesting question. I would like to come back with an amazing vocal ability, to be able to sing and touch others hearts. Love singing and in my head I sound like Mariah but in reality, it is more like a screeching cat - according to family members.

I'd like to be me again. I think I can do better.

Good one, me too......

I kinda feel like I like myself, too. But I'd want to do find more time to garden and craft and just have an all around better outlook on things. Working all the negative out right now, but just feel like there isn't enough time for beads and dirt.

Oh geez Irene has been hanging out with DavePi

Did you leave your sense of humor on a route....
In defense of Dave, green is my favorite color.

I must say when I first read the title I thought it was Dave...

Great topic. Keep it up!

I would like to come back as opposite my current self as possible so I could gain perspective.

I have always said I would like to come back as my own dog. My dogs have got it made. But since that would require me being in two places at once (not that it might not be possible) I'd really like to experience a lot of things I didn't this time. Climbing to the top of Maccu Piccu, being a tall leggy blonde, being a man, a jewel thief, an enlightened ascetic living naked in the snow in Tibet. There is so much variety of life. I find it all fascinating.

I used to think I'd come back as Oprah's dogs, traveling the world with her in private jets and yachts....haha

I think a cat. They don't answer to anybody, do whatever they want, have the ability to just stand and stare, plus they get to lay around (in the sun!) all day. Coming back as my cats would be optimum, as they have it made in the shade!
I'm hoping I have learned the lessons of this life and can take a different path, make different choices in the next one.

In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this.

My daughter has two cats and yes, they run the house...I'm not a cat lover, more of a dog person.

Is there an, "opt out" link? I'll take it. Not doing this (life) again in any way, shape or form. If opting out is not a choice, I'll be a bat. They just get to hang around, sleeping in dark places doing bat stuff and no one bothers them. I could be wrong but I have never heard of bat hunters.

I'm thinking an elephant under different circumstances. As it is now, they are hunted and live on lands encroached upon, or they are circus/zoo animals. If I were able to live unimpeded in a natural manner, I would be an elephant.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned coming back as Jesus.

LOL at you, Dave. What if Jesus came back and had to do the same thing all over again? No thanks.

Not everyone is a believer Dave, but the thought was there.....

The Olympics have inspired me. I could come back as a super-skater who does a septo- or octo-axel jump, or something. Maybe I could compose music that just begs Olympians to try the sweeping twelve-turn jumps... or not.

I'd come back and invent one pill for everyone's ailments.....and it's free for all.....

Irene, you have inspired me. In my free time, when I am not inventing huge new jumps or creating vast music that accommodates them. I would banish pills. No one would need pills. No one would want them. I think this will be a group effort, though.

I would like to come back to world peace.

I would like to be a scientist and work on cures for medical issues and go home to my horse ranch every day.
