How Did You Die in a Former Life?

Question

I read somewhere that if people alive today suddenly develop a fear of something, say for example heights, then it could be that person died from a fall in a former life. Thought this would be a question to ask.

If that were true, how did you die in a former life?

Ariyabandara: Thanks for the info. I remember my father talking to my mom about this. I'm going to read that.

Answer 1

Psychiatrist who are experienced in hypnotism can regress a person and take him or her back to the womb and from there back to the previous life. At that moment how you died will be found. Pl. refer to "Bride Murphy" writings. Prof Ian Stevenson was a famous researcher on rebirths and previous lives.

Answer 2

If I died in a former life I must have fallen from a great height. I am not afraid of heights, like in an airplane but I am deathly afraid of falling. I cant stand on a high balcony or look out a window of a high building. I visited a volcano but I could not get close to the edge. My theory is that I must have fallen but not from a plane. Maybe it was before planes were invented?

Answer 3

I do believe I have lived before, due to finding myself in a couple of new places I'd never been in this lifetime before.
And I distinctly felt I was coming home. I felt a sense of
welcoming, that I couldn't explain.
I have had dreams where I was drowning and felt as though
I had experienced it before and remember the stages I went
through or relived again. Luckily I woke myself up before I
'drowned'.
I have also had a fear of heighth since my teens that has
built over the years. And I have had the familiar dreams of
falling, but would always wake myself up from those also.
But the fear of drowning is the strongest fear I have felt
since I almost did drown at two separate times in my life.

Answer 4

Guess it would have something to do with heights then cause I freak out when I get my feet off the ground. I might get my feet 2 or 3 steps up a ladder and that is the limit for me.

What is really weird is when I was little, I would climb up on roof of my parents house, climb in the trees and was not afraid at all. But now it is a different ball game.

Answer 5

In one life, shot between the eyes by a Yank bullet. In another, fell to death, ... In this life time, I have been shot between the eyes and lived to tell about it, and I have had to work hard to overcome my fear of heights...it began to go away when I was regressed to that lifetime and found out where the phobia was coming from....past life regression is not what you might think it to be..in fact, it is like watching bits and pieces of a movie, no sound track, no involvement what so ever, just watching your surroundings. AND you cannot see your own face! You can see what you are wearing as if you were looking down. In past life regression, I have met only 3 souls who have been with me in this lifetime...and yes, I knew them immedately upon seeing them.
The single best book I have read on this subject was written by Brian Levy, head of Psychiatry, University of Miami, FL... "Many Lives, Many Masters" It is a quick read, get it and try it...it sums up my feelings of eternity. Goldwing

Answer 6

I had this reoccurring dream for many years of being in extreme cold in a German soldiers uniform I was covered in snow and I was trying to stuff newspapers into the uniform to ward off the cold, the newspaper was called the 'Völkischer Beobachter, I tried to fire the gun but the barrel exploded, my dream never proceeded the newspaper part or exceeded the explosion. Some 30 years later I lived in Germany whilst in the military and visited a place called Cochem on the Mosel, I seemed to know my way around the old part of the town, very strange, the dreams stopped after the visit.

Answer 7

In the pursuit of finding "my purpose of being born" in the last couple of years I have come across the idea of reincarnation quite a lot, although at first I could not comprehend it, but the more time goes on I'm starting to think "maybe", and your question has got me a little closer to believing because I have a deep rooted fear of the Ocean at night, that dark water chills me to the bone, so I wonder if thats the way I met death in a previous life.......

Answer 8

When I was a child I sometimes had a feeling of something scraping across my throat like a knife. From a very young age whenever I read ancient history books I had a very strong feeling that I had lived in the time of certain eras. I read about Bridey Murphy and thought it was interesting. Then after reading about the life of Edgar Casey I was a believer for life.

Answer 9

When I was a child, I used to have a lot of nightmares about fire. I saw a show on A&E or Discovery a short while back, where the guy was afraid of drowning. He found out that he was in a sub in WWII. He knew names, dates, etc. He had so many things in common with this guy. For ex: he always went in the back door of his house & he always ate the ends from the bread first. He went back to the guy's hometown & met "his" girlfriend & the family who were left. It was very interesting.

Answer 10

Drowning. I could jump and swim with no problem as long as the water is clear and I can see the bottom. But get me in water where I can't tell and it could be 2 inches deep and I am in a panic. I flipped out going on this little sub dive ride at the Jersey Shore...... because the water was so dark and dirty you couldn't see anything.

Even when I can see the bottom I still can't handle doing anything like snorkeling or anything where I'm looking under water.. It's like I'm entering a world I wasn't meant to be a part of.

Weird I know.
