Reincarnation moves in a circle; the gospel in an ascending spiral. (Evid. & Recon., Widtsoe, 1960 ed., p. 369)

There are a multitude of reasons why people have claimed a belief in reincarnation, some of the major ones being:

1. It explains the inequality in people’s lives relating to time, location, and conditions of their birth.
2. Some people die too young to have enough temporal experience.
3. It gives everyone a chance to live longer on earth.
4. It gives everyone a chance to correct serious mistakes, and to live a better life “next time”.
5. Nearly everyone eventually can reach heaven, Nirvana, or exaltation.

Besides these reasons for wanting to be born again, there are many spiritual, mystical or unexplained powers that have caused people to believe that they have lived before and will live again. It is interesting to consider some of these:

Clairvoyance.  This is the ability to see things which are not visible to the normal human eye; it is a second sight or intuitive perception.
