Do you believe in past lives or reincarnation?

Question

For some reason I've had an obsession with Italy and I've never been there in my "current" life. Whenever I think about Italy I get emotional or better yet "homesick". Some people say that I probably lived in Italy before in a past life. My question is do you believe in past lives or reincarnation? Whether or not you do, do you have a strong fascination about a place or time period that you can't seem to shake off?

Please refrain from religious topics. Thank you.

I'm convinced that I did have a life in Italy before because just recently I started having a strong fascination about wine "vino" and I hate alcohol! I also think that a friend of mine shared a life in Italy with me because she has a strong fascination with Italian names and she has never been to Italy in her present life either.

I also talked to another lady who said she hates the taste of alcohol and she's been having these dreams where she was an english barmaid in the 1800s. But I haven't had any dreams yet about Italy. I tried regressing myself for a couple of years to see if I can see any of my past lives but I was unsuccessful at it and all I did was go to sleep.

Of course reincarnation is true. No doubt about it. Very few people remember past lives because they subconsciously choose not to, but when someone has memories nagging at the back of his mind, there's usually a good reason. I'd say it's very likely you have a connection with Italy. The more tiny little pieces you can put together, the clearer the whole image becomes. To put the puzzle together, you could do a little deeper self analysis. Think of visions, describe them, write it all down, write down how this or that makes you feel. Get a feeling for your surroundings, the people you knew, the smells, the sounds, the whole picture. You might be surprised at how much fragmented "memory" there is underneath the surface which could weave a story of a past you.

Answer 2

I definitely believe.
We don't know everything by far about this world and our existence and I too have a fascination - with Elizabethan London. I can't get enough of it, the history of events seems so intuitive, I dream about being there (could of course be because i've researched it so much because of this feeling; I mean which came first, chicken or egg...)

I wish i knew for sure, but for now, am happy to believe that there may be many facets to our lives.

Answer 3

Italy is a really nice place, and perhps many people are intruiged with its touristic environment

However, reincarnation is not possible...Biblically it states, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. SO, if you are a believer there is no basis nor proof of reincarnation.

Answer 4

No because everybody always says they were Royalty or a famous person of some type.Who would want to keep going through life on this planet?I believe in Heaven.

Answer 5

Yes, I do and it could be possible that you lived in Italy in your past life.

Answer 6

Yes, I do. I have strong feelings about Ireland in the 1100s, and have had numerous dreams where I am living in that era.

Answer 7

I do believe in it, but I think we have some time before we move on to our next life.
