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.
My my my, those oil pipelines are looking awfully explody.
Nice try, reincarnating spirit.
That’s a fun one! So much depends on the mechanism of action, so I’m going to assume that you get to pick a couple lessons that you can embed as subliminal imperative for future me. One would be a bias for action, get shit done now, don’t put it off! Two would be an impulse to ENJOY exercise! And third would be a reminder that the happiest times in life are always with people you love enjoying each other’s company; and being able to create those circumstances comes from creating an atmosphere of acceptance, friendliness and love. SO DON’T BE A DICK! 😉
A guide on my ethics and who my living friends are.
Nah, I would just find a way to have fun with it.
What fun stuff would you prep for future you?
Cant really do anything if youre talking about a clean slate meaning no memories will be retained and since you wont know who you’ll reincarnate into also then youre kinda out of luck.
True, but suppose it’s not a complete clean slate, maybe a little more like foggy memory that clears over time which might help you connect back with what you left behind for yourself. What might ya try then?
Longshot: at that point I’d make a video basically doxxing my past self and adding as much useful information (who I am, where I lived, my lawyers name etc…) then upload that video to whatever video hosting service I think can survive long enough for reincarnated me to find it (hopefully they remember what keywords to look for or maybe the channel). For fun past me towards their eol would also start putting as much money into gold, bury that gold somewhere and leave a letter with a trusted third party, where they will then ask questions to whomever approaches for the letter to verify that I am the rightful reincarnated person. That letter, as you may have thought, would have instructions, a map and anything else needed to get past me’s treasure. That should jumpstart reincarnated me’s dream, whatever that will be
What if we’re all just one soul reincarnating over and over
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.

I really don’t think you want to be alive in the 1500s. It was not a good point of human history. Why wouldn’t you pick the year 5000 or something?

You mean until the church deems you a heretic and kills you right? It won’t matter that you got predictions correct. Hell, that will only give them even more of a reason to deem you of the devil because only God has the power to see the future! To the pits with you child of Lucifer! Don’t forget you are talking about people who went to wars because some people didn’t believe in their sky daddy and only their sky daddy is the right one.
They want to go back to the dark ages with a load of potions and prophecies.

It is today, back in the 1500s when the church was the law and government and could do whatever they wanted with basically no repercussions, not so much.
