This has been on my mind. If reincarnation actually occurs (and it's my
belief that it does) does the soul decide when and where to return or
is it some higher power's decision? Will cremation deter the process?
If someone lives their life alone with no true love with another person
do they get a restart or is their soul's entire existence to be that
way?

I
get theories from friends, ranging from the whole idea being crap, and
that, as I asked above, if you're cremated you can't be reincarnated.
There's things that have happened to me in this life that seemed so
familiar that I've wondered if I'm doomed to experience them in every
life. (If you believe in reincarnation that is). I've met people and
something in me has said, "I've met them before." To me that feeling is
proof enough for me. Situations, people, experiences, all that I know
I've seen, felt and known before. No deja vu, just a knowledge.
Sometimes it's almost like a muscle memory, a flood of recognition.
Sometimes it scares the hell out of me, and others it comforting.

So
after all this rambling that I"m sure didn't make sense. What does
everyone think? Is reincarnation wishful thinking, or if you do believe
in some kind of after life is it something that could be legitamite?
