Would you bother preparing something to help prove your reincarnation, or would you simply take advantage of whatever you retained (and prepared for yourself) from your past life?

How might you use this ability to help yourself and others?

Edit:
To clarify, suppose you have some vague memory of your past life in your reincarnated self that helps you along and allows you to take advantage of whatever your past self prepared for you.

    If you don’t remember yourself then reincarnation is indistinguishable from just being an entirely different person.

      That’s fair, so as I clarified to another, suppose you have some foggy memory of your past life (as some tend to claim) that clears over time. Given those circumstances, what might you try to do for your future self?

      Setting aside basics like a lil’ recap journal to recover to catch yourself up on the parts you may have trouble remembering. 😅

    I’d work throughout my current life to make the world a better, kinder, healthier, more sustainable place.

    Which I’m doing anyway, because it’s our duty to future generations, whether or not they are our reincarnated selves.

    On a related note, no one ever talks about the movie Chances Are where Robert Downey Jr gets reincarnated and falls in love with his daughter. Don’t worry, it’s not weird because his (ex?) wife approves.

      Do you suppose stories like this are sometimes trying to emulate Oedipus Rex but missing part of the point?

    A Trust Fund that has accrued at least 80 years of compounding interest. I will have the estate to only be released to a person (my reincarnated self) who knows the secret password after reaching 20 years old.
