future lives

Lives not yet

Future lives are the existences a soul supposedly inhabits after the current one, according to beliefs in reincarnation.

The concept appears in Buddhism, Hinduism, and various New Age spiritualities.

Someone might say I must have been a cat in a past life while wondering what form their future lives might take.

The plural acknowledges that rebirth may cycle indefinitely.
