Why do I feel I have had a past life?

Question

I feel attracted to certain cultures and languages and sometimes I feel I have been in a place I have never been before. Like I actually lived there even though I really haven't. Please share if u really have experienced the same. Please no rude comments,I'm serious.

Answer 1

Mine is not an attraction to a particular culture or language, but an era. I get an overwhelmingly "familiar", comfortable feeling any time I see movies (like Tombstone) or anything that deals with pioneer times or the 1800s. Although I am a very modern person who enjoys modern conveniences, etc., I get a very deep sense of serenity and familiarity when I see or am around things from the 1800's. I remember as a child walking in to the section of a museum where they had a pioneer cabin with replicas of what they used, furnishings, etc. and I can't even describe the sense of home I felt. It's been this way my whole life. I don't collect antiques, or in anyway does this feeling I have carry in to my everyday life, but I can't seem to make anyone else understand this connection I have. Believe me, if I had any control over this, I'd rather believe I had once lived as a princess in some castle with servants than in a one-room cabin washing out clothes by hand, feeding livestock, and heating water over a fire for a weekly bath!! I understand EXACTLY how you feel. I thought I was alone!

Answer 2

I understand your feelings... I spent three years where I had recurrent nightmares where I was a antebellum era woman who was burried alive after an illness... it was horrible... I could smell the pine coffins in the dream..

However, I was never an antebellum girl. It was just a very vivid dream.

You will probably pick the answer that you like best as the "best answer" for this question, and I'm sure it won't be this one. But the thing that brought it home for me was a very interesting show on the Discovery channel about past lives... and there was a fantastic person on there (cannot remember his or her name) and they said, "Do you notice how people with past lives always experienced interesting things... for example, they all died on the Titanic, or in some other natural disaster or other thing that is famous today? There aren't people who say, 'I was a 1800s maid who died of old age,' or any other boring thing,"

You might be drawn to certain cultures because they either fit your beliefs or provide you with an interesting alternative to those beliefs. Languages can attract you for all sorts of different reasons.... because you love the way it sounds, because you met someone when you were young who spoke that language, or because you saw a movie once that stayed with you somehwere in your subconscious... You notice that most people don't say they feel a draw to Amharic (an obscure Ethiopian language), but rather something more topical... like German, or French, or Arabic.

There are a lot of things that we assume our brains don't digest, but in actuality they do. And often, these things are exhibited in ways we don't understand, for example, an unexplainable attraction to certain places, people, or things. For example, do you know that the types of men/women we are attracted to are built through the types of people we are around? If your father and most of the men you were around when you were younger were dark haired people...you will probably have an attraction to primarily dark haired men when you grow up.

Good luck with this, it can be a very illuminating experince, rather or not you decide that you have lived past lives. :) Have a wonderful new year!

Answer 3

I believe in reincarnation. There are a lot of books about it.

I believe I lived in France during the revolution.

Once under hypnosis I had a past life regression and I was a miller's son in Italy sometime in the late middle ages.

I believe the soul lives on and goes through many lifetimes and the point of it all is for us to learn, grow and develop toward oneness.

Answer 4

Yes -And I am very attracted to India and the Vedic culture and have feelings that I lived their in another life according to the Vedic literature. We have been through innumerable lives. One keeps going through birth death, old age,etc. life after life until they have exhausted all of their material desires. We are not these bodies, we are eternal spirit souls, part and parcel of the Supreme Soul. Also known as Krishna, Allah, Vishnu, Jehovah, etc. We have to reconnect and give up all material desires and aspire to go Back to our eternal abode where their is eternal bliss and knowledge and no material body.

Answer 5

I was once told that in a past life I was a fisherman. Growing up I have enjoyed fishing but was always concerned and had a niggling feeling when I went on a boat. I often feel I might have drowned when I was a fisherman. Why don't you look for someone who deals in past lives and see what sort of reading you receive?

Answer 6

well for starters this is not a psychology question more or less it would be spirituality second have you tried past life regression i believe i have had a past life considering i have been able to read since around kindergarten and had a vary large vocabulary. i would get past life regression but I'm gonna get a PhD in psychology and don't need to sound crazy

Answer 7

Many people believe in reincarnation. But the mind is a funny thing--maybe you were exposed to other cultures, other languages as a child and it became part of you.

Answer 8

Don't bother... any time you answer or ask a question in here relating to anything metaphysical... The science minded all just think that you're nuts... and the religious accuse you of worshiping the devil.
