736.0. "Reancarnation- do you believe?" by ATEAM::ALLEN () Thu May 12 1988 14:04

    	I tried using the "magic" of DIR/TITLE=TOPIC_NAME and it came
    up empty with the topic of reancarnation... 
    	There are some people that are firm believers of religion,
    evolution and reancarnation, I, personaly, am a believer of life
    after death. 
    	
    Lets see if we can come up with some good opinions on what really
    happens after we all "kick the bucket", OK???

    	Wait a minute, did you actually use DIR/TITLE=TOPIC_NAME as
    written?  I never wrote it to be used like that.
    
    	What you should have done is DIR/TITLE=reincarnat
    
    	Don't write out the whole word, just enough to pick up the various
    forms the word may take in Topic titles by other Noters.  You can
    also use the command  SEARCH reincarnat  if DIR/TITLE fails.
    
    	The HELP file in Notes is very helpful as well, as is the file
    listed in Note 1.3.

736.2See Topic 77DICKNS::KLAESKnow FutureThu May 12 1988 14:2610
    	Using the command DIR/TITLE=reincarnat, I found a Topic on the
    subject at 77.
    
    	You spelled reincarnation wrong, by the way, which is probably
    why you could not find Topic 77.  Of course it also does not help
    if Noters do not title their Topics clearly enough to explain what
    their subject is about (That's where SEARCH subject comes in handy).

    Let me plug ENOTES once again.  Enotes is a "batch" notes reader.
    For example to read note 76.3 in DEJAVU you would say to DCL:
    
    	$ ENOTE EXTRACT dejavu 76.3
    
    Which would type the note on your terminal.
    
    To get a directory of all notes containing the word "reincarnation"
    in their title and put it in a file you would say:
    
    	$ ENOTE DIRECTORY/contains="reincarnation" dejavu *.*-
    		/output=reincarnation-dir.txt
    
    Pretty much anything you can do from NOTES you can do from ENOTES,
    plus some additional things (e.g., their is no way in NOTES to
    get a directory of notes containing a word in their body).  It is
    most useful run in as a batch job.
    
    The conference DECWET::ENOTES contains all the details, plus several
    other handy tools for using NOTES conferences.  SELECT or KP7.

736.5I believe in Reincarnatin Too!WLDWST::MEYERSFri May 13 1988 04:237
    I am a firm believer in reincarnation.  To me, this makes me feel
    100% better than just believing when you die, you die.  I am 
    rather new to this "Notes" Conference, so I am excited to see
    people who are interested in the same subjects that I am.
    
    I am also interested in past life regression - any comments?
    
736.6If there isn't already a topic for it...WRO8A::GUEST_TMPHOME, in spite of my ego!Fri May 13 1988 05:3712
      re: -.1
         
           Hello.  There are other topics on reincarnation (notably
    number 77.)  Also, 701 is related, at least in methodology
    (it is on rebirthing.)  Maybe someone else remembers other
    mentions of past life regression.  If not, that would be a good
    candidate for its own topic.
     
           Cheers (as they say in many places!)

736.7Possible sourceSCOPE::PAINTERHeaven is a place on EarthFri May 13 1988 16:0311
    
    There is a good article related to this topic in the most recent
    issue of "New Age Journal".  The book "Life after Life" is mentioned
    several times and that may be a place to start - leaf through the
    book at a bookstore to see if it is right for you.
    
    The article talks about primarily those people who have 'died' during
    surgery or related incidents and what they experience during that
    time.  It was quite interesting.
