Many years ago, I joined in a past-life regression during a meditation class.
There’s no need to get into specifics here. Suffice to say the lives I ‘remembered’ included being an embittered pottery-maker, the beautiful child-bride of a rough-hewn warlord, and the wife of a traveling merchant, mother to wayyyy too many children.
I was, of course, a little disappointed. I’d hoped that at the very least, I had been heir to some massive, extant fortune or hidden treasure that I could still claim. :razz:
Now I’m curious. Whatever your religious beliefs, or whether you believe in reincarnation or not…
If you had a past life, what or who would you imagine you might’ve been?
When I was a kid I was obsessed with the Old West and I mean OBSESSED. I’d say that if I ever lived another life, it was back then. I also had a very strange reaction to a castle in Scotland. To the point where I could’ve sworn I buried something there. It’s probably a good thing I didn’t have a metal detector with me. Weird, I know.:poof:
I did have a psychic tell me that I had been a pilot in WW2 and was shot down. I apparently died/was burned up in the crash. She said I didn’t have to worry about dying in another plane accident, since I’d already been in one. She also said what made it weird (as if being told that wasn’t weird enough *ggg*) was that I’d come back into my bloodline. She said that rarely happens and that I must’ve had something very important to do. Hmm…
Do you think she was referring to the hours I spent watching Scooby Doo?
Oh meant to say, one of the stranger things I realized is that apparently in all these situations I was a man. :shock:
I am seriously tempted to speculate that probably I was some insignificant drudge.
On the other hand, my affinity for high ground and hand-weapons might mean something…
LOL Jordan! I have a friend who actually remembers being in London’s bunkers during WW2.
Jordan I’ve also heard we do tend to relive lives with the same people over and over again (and once when my son was small he said “remember when brandon was our big brother?” (Brandon is my oldest)
Anyway I did a past life class and know I was in the far east and scotland (during a war and I fled with two kids)
Speaking of kids, Raine :nonono::nonono:
I absolutely believe in reincarnation. I believe that we spend time on the Other Side, and then come back when it’s time to learn something new.
I have a feeling that my soul is male, but I’m not sure…
As for past lives, I went through a regression with Sylvia Browne, and I remembered being a South American man, in the 40′s, not well-to-do, but not poor. I died around the age of 60 in a strange village hospital tent-thing. Someday I’ll research it, because I have it so clearly in my mind but have no idea what the facility was or where it was!
Larissa I’ve always wondered what that war was! I remember the woman I took the class with was a) a monk during Columbus’s exploration of America (as was her father) and a Peruvian Indian (her mother was her wife or husband and she died leaving her alone).
…Do you think she was referring to the hours I spent watching Scooby Doo?
LOL!!
Jordan, that is FASCINATING. I have a friend who’s sure he was in the Old West too–swears he remembers his coat, the exact type of gun he carried, that he wore a woman’s garter on one arm, etc.
As for the Scottish castle—we’ve gotta get you back there with a metal detector! :yesyesyes:
And if there is such a thing as reincarnation, I believe we have experiences as both sexes. My pottery-maker was a man too.
Bernita, I can DEFINITELY see you ably defending your position! :thumbsup:
Ames, I’ve read that children often retain ‘memories’ of such things, and will casually mention them tat way.
And what is it with you ladies and Scotland? :shock:
It’d be awesome if you could actually find out something about that man, Larissa.
Silvia Brown? Wow. :smile:
…a monk during Columbus’s exploration of America (as was her father)
More wow.
Wow.
I just think it’s odd that I seemed to be male up until now. Of course that does explain a lot of my personality ‘quirks’. *ggg*:dork:
As for the castle, I was actually so sure that I got down on my hands and knees and started digging. It was very weird. I could swear I hid a necklace or something like that there. Like I said, I loved the visit, but I found it very disturbing. I broke down when we had to leave because I felt like I was being forced from my home. It was VERRRRYYY weird.
If you’d have asked me before that visit if I thought that there was any chance I could’ve lived back then, I’d have said no way in hell. But now…
Nothing, because once is enough for me. LOL!
Jordan, that’s INCREDIBLE.
You were actually convinced enough to want to DIG there?! :shock:
Honey, whatever doubts I may have harbored, your story sure makes me more inclined to believe.
And you have GOT to go back to that castle sometime!
(curious about all the male incarnations up until now–YES). :poof:
Tanya, you do have a point, lol.
And nobody said it was an easy trip. :???:
I was a child in Victorian England.
I also can’t stand to have anything tight around my right wrist. Don’t know what that’s from, but some time or another I was either bound or chained – I guarantee that.
They say that our fears, phobias in this life is a reflection of past lives.
Oh, and Bebo and I have been together in many lives.
We also seem to recognize others from our past lives. That’s the instant connection we sometimes feel with someone.:waving:
To answer your question – I fucking absolutely believe.
I have a feeling I’ve lived before. I do believe in reincarnation very strongly. But I don’t know who I would’ve been. I think I was a man last time around though. When I was a kid I was sure I was supposed to be a boy LOL!
C’mon, Bailey, don’t beat around the bush.
Speak your mind! :razz:
That is FASCINATING.
Makes me wonder, too…as a child, I had a habit of lifting my skirt (however short!) whenever I stepped over something, or took the stairs, or rounded a corner.
I think my mom thought I was crazy.
Not like now, of course…
Tracy, you must’ve given your parents a hard time, lol!
I’m so glad I asked this question! You ladies are fabulous! :grin:
I didn’t want there to be any mistake about where I stand on this.:lmao:
Blogger hated me last night, but I’m back now.
I don’t know if I believe in reincarnation or not, but I can tell that I was never a gardener. I just killed a tree. A tree! In a pot. How the hell do you kill a tree? I watered it — when I remembered. Isn’t that enough?
I’m late tot he party. :( But on a good note, I got to read all teh responses.:)
I believe in re-incarnation..and like Jordan, was told by a psychic abtou a few past lives once, and in a few of them I was a man. LOL
This is a fascinating subject and I loved reading everyone’s responses. I believe, and I felt a deep affinity to countries in North Africa and the Mid East,as if i lived there, before I did (I lived in the Arab Emirates when i was 16) . Of course it could just be because my parents had a desert scene print on the wall when i was little. LOL I drew on it for a fantasy novel set in an ancient, exotic world.
I once viisted a fortune teller with a friend. Mine was very accurate to my life and my ambitions, so when it came my friends turn it made it even weirder that the fortune teller was seriously freaked by her! She said my pal had been a nun in the distant past and she’d witnessed her friends die horrible deaths, she’d sufered too. The teller was really freaked, lke hugely uncomfortable… Sent shivers through me! She said “You’re afraid of fire?” My pal is seriously skittish in general and very scared of fire. Suffice it to say it was weird, and my poor pal was hoping to hear about Mr tall dark and handsome. Awww.
Fascinating subject, Raine
Interesting topic. Not sure who I would have been and a bit scared to find out…
Sela, obviously you were a member of the Black Thumb trible of people, native to the then-fertile Sahara Desert…which explains a couple of things… :razz:
Sasha, I think we’d be required to experience being both men and women.
That’s why we’re so understanding of the opposite sex. :nonono:
Saskia—at the risk of repeating myself…
WOW.
Interesting, your affinity for those places. And your friend! Freaking out a fortune teller can NOT be an easy thing to do.
I can understand your friend’s disappointment too. I was hoping that I’d been a hoochie-momma at some point…sigh…
Mechele, isn’t it a FABULOUS subject? I mean, if only because I’m so surprised at everyone’s personal experiences and responses! It’s not something people seem to talk about readily.
And you don’t have to worry about who you’ve been. You’re a terrific person now. :yesyesyes:
