I don't know the answer to that. I'm not a religious person, so I don't know that I believe in that theory. Reincarnation seems too supernatural to me, as does a parallel universe (and I believe in nothing supernatural). I don't know what happens when we die. I just feel, deep down that there is a bigger picture that no one truly knows about. No reasoning behind it, at all. Life doesn't make sense when you really think about it (everything has to be created somehow, I don't know if I buy the big bang theory), what happens after death makes even less sense. I don't believe in enough nor do I believe in too much in order to formulate an opinion I'm confident in. I guess we will all find out soon enough.
