4 “Just as a person casts off worn-out garments and puts on others that are new, even so does the embodied soul cast off worn-out bodies and takes on others that are new.” (Bhagavad Gita 2,13). The distinction between the body and the soul makes reincarnation another dualistic account of life after death.

5 Reincarnation: arguments against The arguments against dualism given by Ryle apply as easily to reincarnation as they do to the immortality of the soul – the mind should not be seen as non- physical. Evidence for yoga memory may be flimsy. Stephen Davies argues that contact between families may allow children to account for a remembered ‘past life’ which they have not really experienced. He asks whether some cases of yoga memory are actually deliberate fraud. Although Hindu philosophy is very ancient, that does not make it right. Incorrect beliefs may be well established.
