I have always felt that I would feel more comfy if I had been born in the 16th century. I have visions/thoughts/memories that could span a lifetime. I have only felt one strong connection to someone. Ironic that she feels that same way I do about the 16th century. Between us is a love that cannot be defined by words (believe me I have tried) and to me there has to be a reason why. I have heard that love is eternal and maybe thats not true, but it is possible. There are things I feel and know not because of some psychic vision, but because I know them to be true in my heart. I'll admit I do get the occasional preminition (that comes true), but to me that just a hightened awareness of whats probably gonna happen.

Whoa! That's crazy. The similarities I mean. lol I didn't think anyone could possibly undertsand where I was coming from, but I guess you know better than anyone. lol
lol But I wish I did understand it! I've never really bothered to delve into it too much...just trying to make sense of the disjointed memories gives me a headache...
I spend a lot of time thinking and questioning things. I have only really shared my beliefs/philosophies with a select few. I guess I don't want the world thinking I'm a loon when I am already perceived as weird and random. lol
Weird and random is cool...everyone is unique, but no less valid as members of the human race...
Thinking and questioning are intellectual puruits, and cancel out being viewed as a 'loon,' whatever your style or conventions...
Furthermore...when the 'world and his wife' pay your mortgage etc...that would be a good time to worry about what they think...until then, stay as random, weird and unique as you are.
Getting back to the topic...I was just thinking that people die and are reincarnated all the time in the proverbial sense.
Anyways, I feel that everything is connected in someway. Which means that we are connected to certain experiences of things lifetimes ago. With Annie* our bond transcends time/distance. I can feel when she's hurt even when we are miles apart. When I was "reminded of her love" (thats what I call it) it felt I like I had loved her always. I spent a great deal of my life searching for what I had/have with her. It felt like a memory that laid dormant. The Notebook is good reference to certain aspects of our relationship. Gawd I need to stay on topic.
The 16th century has a calming effect on my soul. Lush green land is so beautiful to me. I often find myself reminiscing looking out at the horizon of a place I have never been and yet it feels so familiar.
I can totally see myself picking up a sword before a gun. I find myself following the path that would lead me to be a great warrior only then to be come an old wise man.
I have just such an affinity with an uncle of mine, though in a mentor and great friendship capacity...whereas, a cousin I remember from a least two past lives, and I, still have issues to resolve.
Well, I have lived with these memories all my life...naturally I believe that I have lived several times before. I have no memories of being anyone of Historical importance, and in a couple of cases have found myself to have been desperately poor. In this lifetime I have had a memory of being a child of around the age of 8/9, and watching in wonder and awe, a total eclipse...I was born in 1975, and with a Father from Memphis, and my Mother from England, though we shuttled backwards and forwards between the two countries, localitywise this was something I could not have witnessed in this lifetime.
I can only speak for my own personal views on the subject of reincarnation. I believe that I have lived before; I don't think about the past too much...I have had a somewhat priviledged life this time around...with wonderful parents, both in the medical field; I am comfortably established at the present time, especially in my career, and have been fortunate enough to have suffered only one great stressful trauma to date. I believe that one shouldn't look back, or dwell in the past...I think we have things to accomplish in each lifetime...they may not necessarily have to be significant or great; I believe, (from a paranormal experience that happened to me during my teens) that we each decide, before birth, our goals and aims in the present life. I don't believe in God, Satan, Hell, Ghosts, demons or final damnation for misdeeds. I do not adhere to any religion. I just am 'me' living a law-abiding and happy life this time around.

I don't believe in Reincarnation because I don't want to.
Imagine if you will the consequences of having previous lives. Not everything that you've done in life is wonderful, and humans in their very nature do wrong. Emotion is part of life, and good comes with bad. If you were say, Beethoven in a past life, you'd have plenty to feel good about, and that's fine. But if you were a murderer, or a criminal, or anything like that, would and should you feel guilty about what you did? That's who you were, you aren't that person, but your soul, the essence of who you are, did kill.
Or if you were religious, what if you had been a believer in a different faith, or been one not at all? Would that change you, make you believe in other things? Belief is part of who you are, but who you were is different...
Or if you had someone you loved, your soulmate, how possible is it to find that person again. Relying on karma may not be enough. People go through their whole lives looking for love, and never find it. But to remember what it felt like, but know that you may go through forever never feeling it again really makes you question the saying "It's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all"...
What I'm trying to say is that the idea of Reincarnation scares me.
