First, here is a video playlist related to Near-Death Experiences and evidence of life after death. (Note that I took a course on NDEs with Dr. Kenneth Ring while at UConn many years ago that forever changed my own perspective on "life"):
Second, here is a video playlist related to evidence of reincarnation:
The implication of the evidence should be clear....we do not die. That which is "I", our conscious being, is eternal. The "chooser", in my opinion, is indestructible. Consciousness, which directs energy transformation in the universe (which is all that ever happens "here"), is in and of itself separate from materiality. The animator is not the animated.

Sacred scripture clearly refutes the idea of reincarnation.
Hebrews 9:27
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this the judgment:
When you refer to "I", our conscious being you of course mean our soul which is immortal right? Yes our soul is immortal because we are made in the image of God. I've always understood the term "Made in the image of God" to refer to our souls rather than our material bodies. The human soul is endowed with the same attributes as God in that we have memory, intellect and free will. I suppose that the resurrection of our bodies on the last day can be viewed as a sort of reincarnation. Other than that the bible does refute to doctrine of reincarnation. To me reincarnation makes no sense. If I've lived several past lives why do I have no memory of them? Why can't I learn from past mistakes and correct myself? Also, reincarnation denies the need of a savior. We simply have innumerable chances to finally reach to point of perfection and enter into Nirvana.
What in the heck do you think Jesus meant by his "second coming"?!
Modern Christians focus in upon a generalized misinterpretation of one line in the Bible misled by governing church "authorities" and fail to heed all scriptural counter-evidence.
This is the same idiocy that kept the earth at the center of the universe in centuries past and has modern-day Christians waiting for an illusory "rapture" and thinking that the earth is only 6000 years old against all evidence to the contrary. Use your reason which God granted man for a very good reason!
What kept the earth at the center of the solar system was a persistent and tenacious belief by Westerners in Aristotle's view of the Universe and Nature.
Aristotle was a Greek Pagan, not a Christian, and the belief in him began prior to Christianity and extended beyond the "West" as well. It had nothing to do with governing church "authorities".
