What did some of the modern age personalities say about reincarnation? Ans: one of the Wests most influential artists, Paul Gauguin, wrote that when the physical organism breaks up, the soul survives.

One of the greatest modern psychologists, Carl Jung, used the concept of an eternal self that undergoes many births as a tool in his attempts to understand the deepest mysteries of the self and consciousness. Richard Bach, the author of the novel ‘Jonathan Livingston Seagull’, described the seagull as that brilliant little fire that burns within us all, goes through a series of reincarnations that lead him from earth to a heavenly world and back again, to enlighten the less fortunate gulls. British biologist Thomas Huxley noted that the doctrine of transmigration was a means of constructing a plausible vindication of the ways of the cosmos to man, and warned that none but very hasty thinkers will reject it on the grounds of inherent absurdity. Nobel laureate Isaac Bashevis Singer often speaks of past lives, rebirth, and the immortality of the soul in his masterful short stories. There is no death. How can there be death if everything is part of the Godhead? The soul never dies and the body is never really alive.
