Your Next Life

Post by MissTeja »

Seeming that reincarnation was possible (no I am not trying to start another religious-battle thread), and that you could choose what type of living creature you were to return as, (choices include all creatures that exist today), what would you return as? Would you choose to be a human again? Or, rather some type of exotic animal? Or an amphibian? Or, as in Moo's case I'm guessing, a cow? :) Or something else?
Just kinda curious.
I would definately have to be a black Jaguar.

Who wants to come back here?

I want a new body--like Silver Surfer's--something I can use to shoot lava tubes and sauna on the "surface" of a star. I want a body that will let me swim in the liquid diamond ocean of Jupiter's center and play "billiards" with the particles that make up the rings of Saturn.

Why limit yourself to this planet through reincarnation when we're promised "new bodies" when we get to Heaven?!

I'm torn between becoming a human again or a bird (something like a falcon or eagle). If I was forced to make the choice it would be to become a human again.

I'd probably just be me again, not for lack of creativity, but because I'm pretty happy with myself (a relatively uncommon trait for people, I realize).

A dog or cat as well. Of course, you run the risk of coming back as a wild dog or as an abused pet. Teja never said that you got to pick where you went. :D

Barring that, a bear. Eating honey...stealing picnic baskets...frustrating the ranger...

Which brings up another point. Standard reincarnation or are you aware of your previous life? In that case, coming back as anything less than human would be frustrating. It'd be great at first because of the newness of it but after that??

You know, Sin. Fate is a cruel, cruel mistress and God has a sense of humor. That said, you know you'd come back as a white tiger bred by none other than the world's gayest magicians...Siegfried and Roy.

Roy: Watch, Siegfried. I vill make my penis disappear into tiger's buttocks.

Seigfried: Dat's vat I call magic.

I would probably come back as either human (because I like having opposable thumbs) or something more fun-loving, like a river otter. Although, meerkat also ranks high on the list.
This is my signature. Enjoy

Perhaps because not all of us believe in that sort of thing. Besides, it's a hypothetical; half of the /point/ is the limitations.

Anyway, I'd prefer to be human, if for no other reason than the rest of the species don't get genius, which we do. I wouldn't mind vacationing as a falcon, though.

Ideally, of course, I'd just be reborn into my body at age 1 or so, with all of my memories intact.

I guess either since I did not specify really. I had meant without prior knowledge, but most are sticking with prior knowledge, so either or.
Good point about coming back as less than a human being frustrating. I guess it wouldn't be so bad if you didn't know otherwise. I still stick with the Jaguar, unless we *could* remember, then it'd definately be a human. And definately a chick. :)

Hmm good question. I will assume for the sake of the question we can't come back as some one we know or shit like that, so:

I'd like to come back as the Antichrist. Or maybe some one really gawd damned rich. I mean real rich or infamous.

Well, that was interesting.....

Anyway.

I’d come back as a Wolf, probably a Timber Wolf though a Red Wolf would be cool if they hadn’t gone extinct. From the wild. The only remaining ones are in captivity. But I think that would be very cool. No worry about complex society or social problems and stigmas. Just live as free as you can.

I read something once that I though was very cool. Barry Lopez calls it the Conversation of Death. It’s where a predator begins its chase and asks to its prey. “Are you ready to die?” the prey naturally responds with “No!’ or even “Hell No!” if it’s healthy. But if the animals response is weak or it’s ‘no’ sounds uncertain then the wolf presses the question asking again till the animal gives in and says “yes”. This really romanticizes the kill but I think it shows that the cycle of life isn’t all that tragic.

But pack to the point, yes. I’d love a chance to be a wolf. To be on the hunt. To chase down my prey. And to fight the elements as a wolf does.

Jackal: Sounds more like you'd want to be a coyote, not a wolf. Wolves have a lot of social order and posturing bullshit. Not complex, perhaps, but still there. Coyotes are loners, for the most part.

I could never be a woman... I'd never get anything done. Multiple orgasms? I'd never leave my room. Funny part is, I could make a lot of money off that lifestyle...

Anguirel, actually, a little of both. I like the social order to an extent, just not to the extreme humans take it. Though coyote works as well. You know. Jackal, Coyote, Tricksters, all the same more or less. :)

:crack

Spoken like a man who does not know the mind of a woman... to wit: most women I know wouldn't. Prehensile or not, 9-feet would hurt. If it didn't, you'd still be half-way across the room. Alternately there'd be a lot of cock getting in the way... I mean, you get close and you have frickin' loops of cock tangled around your legs... After about 4 feet, you're just wasting flesh, really, and only the last foot or so really matters. The rest is just for positioning, and you'd have to take non-standard positions all the time. Really, you should consider these things before you go for 9 feet and expect to give pleasure with it... The only use I've seen it put to is pain and torture, for which it is well suited. So you'd look like a tool... a dangerous tool, but still a tool with no non-masochistic women anywhere near-by.

Anguriel, obviously you don't know the mind of the Cazmonster, it's supposed to be more than a little frightening in all the comedic ways. I do realize exactly how 'deep' women are.

You obviously like to spend your time correcting me, so have a field day. I and my nine foot cock will be bouncing along and having a good time.
