This Quiz Can Tell You How Many Past Lives You’ve Lived
It's a question that's been batted around for as long as humans have been on this planet: Where, if anywhere at all, do we go after we die? In literal terms, of course, we already know. When it comes to what happens to the human body, science has all the answers: once the heart stops pumping blood, the physical form decays and is absorbed, as it were, back into the ecosystem.
As for what happens to human consciousness - or, as some would put it, the soul - after a person dies...well, despite all that our species has learned and come to understand about the universe, that's still a contested and controversial topic. In many religions, it is thought that our essential 'essence' - the spirit - lives on through not just one mortal form, but many of them. Belief in reincarnation and 'past lives' is not uncommon; in numerous cultures around the world, this is a foundation of popular thinking. Even in the West, there are many who believe in past lives.
So the question is: how do you know how many past lives you've already lived before becoming your current self? Are you an old soul, with thousands of lives and experiences under your belt already, or are you fresh and ready to see everything with brand new eyes for the first time? Take this quiz to find out!
