I know I want to die. Not now. But later on. And then I want to be reborn soon there after to continue my works. The body will grow old, frail. It will slowly deteriorate, whereas my mental faculties will still be tied to this body. So let it. When I leave, I'll tell those around me, "See you soon". Because I will meet them again. I am a reincarnationalist; not by belief, but by personal proof. I can't prove it scientifically. So there's that.

Woah, HN, let's not get on the downvote fairy bandwagon here. There is nothing wrong with believing in reincarnation, no more than any other religious belief.

  But my understanding isn't linked to religion. Its derived from knowledge I, frankly, shouldn't know. There's really no other good answer to it. And I'd be game to hear any hypothesis, or tests.

Are there any artefacts outside of your mind that could help verify this? From what I know about the brain, I'm highly sceptical. However if there were some way to corroborate your belief, that would be some really important info.

  The way I found out is by remembering things about people whom I've not met. I meet them, and 'remember'. Sometimes I get things wrong, but 95% of the time, they are right. I'd be game for any sort of scientific method or test to somehow figure out if its confirmation bias or something else. I'd like to consider myself a man of science. And I would like to explain phenomenon like that. Is there a basis? If so, how?

    Morphic Fields - Rupert Sheldrake. That's all I can think of. Or maybe it's a delusion. That's the power of delusion. We think it's true, down to our bones. Weather by greed or fear or learned. There are thoughts that are not disprovable. God, reincarnation, that Elvis lives on, Alien abduction, Personally I think any reincarnation scheme that humans are a part of would be a natural outgrowth of the same thing in other animals. I will leave the question, for myself, for the end. We'll see, eh?

      And I've also given thought about how to detect whatever the mystics and other occultists and the like discus when they talk about energy or aura. As you might have guessed, I'm also an occultist. So, I've met people who talk about auras. What is that? It's some sort of energy that humans emanate. Ok, so a person can make total BS up, and be consumed with delusional thoughts. My problem is that multiple people have mentioned "my aura color", and they do not know each other. So, working theory is "Something is there". What is something? I've heard of using film cameras combined with a cornucopia of filters that can show it visibly. I have yet to reproduce it, but does lead me down that it's likely photonic in nature. If that's the case (further testing needed), then what frequencies are being used? What field strengths are being emanated, and what sensory mechanisms are being utilized on the human who can see them? I'm still trying to find the list of filters used in those cameras, because having them means I can mathematically calculate what kind of filters they are. Are they low-pass, high-pass, or some sort of notched filter? My goal is to bring this realm of pseudo-science, superstition, and occultism into a full scientific discipline that can be modeled, studied, and hypothesized.

No need, people have been doing that for decades and decades. Not to rude, but you may want to do some reading and reaching out to local and global established skeptic societies. http://www.skeptic.com/ http://www.skeptic.com/
