Reincarnation, or return in the flesh, is a doctrine or belief that some immaterial element called soul, individual consciousness, energy, or spirit, completes with passages of successive lives in different bodies, humans, animals or plants according to the beliefs. According to this doctrine, with the death of the physical body, the soul leaves it to live, after a new birth, in another body. Reincarnation is a form of the transmigration of souls, close concepts of palingenesis, and the eternal return. The transmigration of souls is generally after death, assumed the passage of a soul from one body to another or the passage of certain elements of soul and body into new forms of existence. The notion of transmigration, religious or philosophical, esoteric or popular, is generic and includes various forms of life after death.

Belief in reincarnation is found at different times and in different places, especially in Greek thought and the Far East, where it is at the heart of Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism and Sikhism. It was towards the end of the nineteenth century, that reincarnation made a big comeback in the West, under the double influence of renewed interest in the occult and more systematic study of religions from India, Hinduism and Buddhism, by Western anthropologists and philosophers including Schopenhauer. Several �esoteric" groups place reincarnation, or at least a Western version of reincarnation, at the heart of their teachings. The Western concept of reincarnation is an evolution of the ancient eastern idea, but while Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism teach that reincarnation is a disaster, because the purpose of life is to be free from the cycle of existence, many Westerners believe that reincarnation is desirable. Indeed, if we learn during each incarnation, our characters can only become more sophisticated and complex. The laws of destiny and karma govern the process of reincarnation. "Karma" is a Sanskrit term which means "action-reaction" and its equivalent in the Greek term nemesis, "the blindfolded goddess" is the impersonal side than universal as a principle that governs all areas of existence, and not just reincarnation. For some people, reincarnation explains the inequalities between human beings, why certain events encountered, and also justifies the existence of death. Death is not the cessation of life, but the prelude to an existence in a place that some in the East call Kamaloka, which leads to choosing the context of a new birth.

Interest in reincarnation, it is also an attempt to penetrate the mysteries of the afterlife and any successive lives, including past lives on this Earth, or on other worlds inhabited. The belief in reincarnation humans still divides humanity. Read more information here: Past lives Past life regression Reincarnation
