Past lives~~?

Question

Who do you think you may have been in one of your past lives? Why do you think that?

Answer 1

I wasn't. There are more people alive on the planet today than have ever lived. I suppose a lot of us on our first lives.

Myself I like to believe that every soul is unique. And maybe I don't want to have to come back. I have had such a wonderful life this go around, that it might not be so good the next time around.

I'm good with one good ride on this roller coaster.

Answer 2

I've had my Akashic records read and was told I was once a priest or a monk. I've had tarot and psychic reading indicating that I've known several people currently in my life previously.

But for me the concept of reincarnation comes down to this: every day is a new life, every time I go to sleep at night is a new death, every time I wake up is a rebirth. Karma makes sense to me this way, since whatever I did yesterday and the day before that and when I was 10 years old has some impact on where I am and who I am today.

So I can tell you that in past lives I have worked in gardens with vegetables and flowers, I have prepared food for others, I have had lovers and friends and played sports and played games and I was once pretty good at archery (not any more). I have never been a dancer, in my current life I am a vegetarian but in most former lives I ate meat. I have lived in small towns and big cities, a friend and I once tried to "exchange races" for a day in college (we mostly laughed and made jokes about each other), and there are a jillion other details that we all have from our own myriad of past lives.

In my heart, where faith lies, this is my understanding of past lives.

Answer 3

I believe I have been a soldier killed in the Civil War and a minor functionary behind the scenes in 1920s/1930s Broadway theatre.

The soldier comes from experiences I have had with re-enactors where I know something was actually wrong with one of their uniforms. I have absolutely no first-hand knowledge of those uniforms, but asked about it and the guy just passed it off as having to make a last-minute substitution. I have precious little knowledge about the Civil War and no real interest in it, but I knew that.

The theatre experience came from a spontaneous event where I suddenly "zoomed in" on a theatre where a Follies-type event was occuring and I could hear an aria being performed, watched the girls in headdresses moving across the stage, and then wondered, "Where am I?" I was taken to a man in a tuxedo backstage, and saw things through his eyes. I somehow knew he was connected with the show, in a money position. Then, the soprano who was singing finished to applause, came backstage and handed "me" some roses and briefly kissed me. I saw a friend's face in this life emerge from behind the "mask" of her face. Then, she went back onstage.

I had the impression she was actually the misstress of the real producer of the show, but that she was having an affair with "me."

I was not asleep or unconscious during this "vision." It was very clear, very detailed, and very auditory. I later identified the aria.

Answer 4

I lived in back bay,Boston in a past life.I know because of many things-like i knew the entire area before i moved there.If we were lost,i'd get out of the car,stand there for a minute,and be able to direct my friends--who were FROM there,anywhere they needed to go.I had lived there for less than 1 day when i did this the first (of many) times.I also have a terrible sense of direction(except in boston).There's more,but i'll let others share.....

Answer 5

In my last life I think I was a white girl who didn't make it far past teenagehood, born to decently monied parents, who never had to really work a day in her short life. (I think my life ended violently and tragically, through murder or a terrible car crash, on a lonely mountain road.) I think that now because I don't know how to clean up after myself like any normal person should, and I constantly find myself wishing I could hire a maid to come pick up after me. I think I was born as who I am now to basically be forced to get over myself on that one, lol.

Answer 6

i'm pretty much reserving judgement on the whole past lives scenario. i don't know if i believe in them or not.
having said that, i once had a dream which i can only describe as a past life dream.
in this dream, i saw a young man in uniform, on horseback. suddenly, there was a sense of awareness... you see, usually in dreams i don't feel things. dreams for me are like movies i'm watching, and they don't really affect me at all, as i dream them.
so imagine my surprise when i felt this sense of recognition. it was as if my very bones were saying... hey, i know you. you're me.
in a flash, i knew i was the man on the horse, and i knew exactly who i was. my mind catalogued all the main events... the place and time of my birth, my childhood, all major events of my life so far, until i came to know i was leading men into battle, and i knew what battle it was and what we were fighting for and i believed in our cause whole heartedly. it was all gone by the time i woke up, but i will never forget that feeling of recognition... like looking into a mirror for the first time and realizing it's your own face looking back.
i don't know if i believe in past lives, but i know that if they are indeed a reality, then once upon a time i was a young officer in some army, fighting for a good cause, and died on the battlefield.

Answer 7

I think I was a Buddhist monk at one time. Even though I was born in California and am Caucasian, I always feel a strange familiarity when I visit Asian temples. Buddhism feels more natural to me than other religions even though I was not born in a traditionally Buddhist country.

Answer 8

Answer 9
