What dies when the body dies and what is it that carries on?
The theory of Reincarnation, that is, the movement of the Soul from one body to another, is featured in most South Asian schools of philosophy. 
Today, we attempt to motivate this theory on scientific and philosophical grounds to prove that not only does this theory have a lot of explanatory power when it come to accounting for certain phenomena, but also that this theory has a three-fold practical use: 

1. Reincarnation Theory frees us from a victim narrative, allowing us to take responsibility for our lives which all spiritual paths require
2. Reincarnation Theory affirms us in our spiritual quest: nothing we do in this life is "lost" or "for nothing" when the body dies. 
3. Reincarnation Theory provides a powerful and empowering for learning: all learning is remembering! You are ALREADY enlightened. You are just reminding yourself of what you always were, always will be and are now.
