Reincarnation is certainly a matter of belief but, sometimes, certain events make it nearly impossible to debate, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that reincarnation  might not be possible.
     We've all heard, at one time or another, about the similarities between Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. However, when a person really delves into these strange likenesses, really looking at the evidence presented, it's nearly impossible not to consider that reincarnation may be the answer.
     Reincarnation, in the simplest sense, is the rebirth of a soul into a  physical body to live again upon the Earth. The belief is that certain lessons need to be learned in each incarnation and, if the a lesson from a previous life was not learned, the soul is reborn to do that particular lesson over again. If this is, indeed, the case, isn't it entirely possible that Lincoln, for some reason, had to come back and repeat a lesson, thus returning as John F. Kennedy?
     If you look at the similarities of their lives, it is obvious that the beginning parts of their lives were completely different. Lincoln was born into poverty, working hard to learn and rise to his full potential. John F. Kennedy had it easier, being born into a wealthy family and already a part of the political base that would become his life. Their lives were very much similar once they had grown to manhood.
      If we examine this more closely, it would make perfect sense that Lincoln, being reborn as John F. Kennedy and having a specific lesson to learn or complete, would not wish to start over from square one again and work as hard as he had the first time around to reach the goal of presidency. He would have already done this and would recognize that repeating this portion was not necessary. Instead, allowing himself to be born into a wealthy, political family, expedited attainment of his goal more quickly the second time around.
     The most amazing part of the lives of these two men (one soul) are the dates and what happened on those particular dates and the similarity of names of people in their lives. This is where the concentration will lie for this article, though there are many, many more similarities between these men. We'll start with dates first.
      1) Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846 - Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.
      2) Lincoln was runner-up for the Vice President nomination in 1856 - Kennedy was runner-up for the Vice President nomination in 1956.
      3) Lincoln was elected President in 1860 - Kennedy was elected President in 1960.
      4) Lincoln made his civil rights views known in 1863 - Kennedy made his civil rights views known in 1963.
     Moving onto the names of people involved in both Lincoln and Kennedy's life, it is amazing and undeniable that something was not, indeed, connecting these two men.
     1) Both men had brothers named Robert and Edward.
     2) Lincoln had a sister named Mary Eunice - Kennedy had a sister named Eunice Mary.
     3) Lincoln had a doctor by the name of Charles Taft - Kennedy had a doctor by the name of Charles Taft.
     4) Lincoln's friend and advisor was William Graham - Kennedy's friend and advisor was Billy Graham.
     5) Vice President to Lincoln was Andrew Johnson - Vice President to Kennedy was Lyndon Johnson.
     6) Both men had a son with a specific Christian name, but were called "Jack".
     7) Lincoln's private secretary's first name was John - Kennedy's private secretary's last name was Lincoln.
      It's not only the dates and names that give evidence, but also their personal traits and their families.
     For instance, both men had four children, two of whom died before reaching their teenage years. Both men lost a sister before becoming President and a son while in office as President. Lincoln's lost son died on July 16 and Kennedy's son died on July 16.
     Both men were over 6 feet tall and athletic. Both had a lazy eye. They each suffered from a genetic disease and depression. Their favorite quotes came from Shakespeare and the Bible.
     The similarities don't stop there. If you dig a bit, you will see that in nearly all ways, their lives were in sync by date, people they dealt with, the assassins that ended their lives, how their funerals progressed, etc. Even the people around Kennedy seemed to be reliving the life they'd lived 100 years previous.
   Was it all a part of the grand design? It sure appears that way. They even both had premonitions about their own assassinations and both were shot the in the same manner (back of the head). All these "coincidences" seem quite prominent in the lives of these men and worth consideration in the area of reincarnation. You decide.
