Past Lives
Written May 2002
Past lives can be an interesting thing,
and sometimes can have an effect on your current life, even if you
don't believe in them. This may sound clichéd, but if you fell off
a cliff in a past life, you could have a fear of heights in this one.
If you had a love of the sea in a past life, you may have a fondness
for it in this life, without knowing why.
There is something more interesting though,
called unresolved issues. Unresolved issues can effect your life in
weird ways, or profound ways. If you were traumatized in a past life,
and haven't dealt with that trauma in-between lives and returned to
earth, your current life could be showing signs of that trauma. For
example, you could have been brutalized and raped by someone in an
earlier life. If you haven't dealt with that experience, in your next
life, you could have a distrust of older men or just feel uncomfortable
around them, even when you are male. You could have a lot of rage
too, that you can't figure out where it comes from. And you may even
consider rape the worst crime possible. There could be more things
or different things. It would vary from person to person, and different
types of traumatic events can have different effects.
Another thing, I recently learned, was
that you can have past lives that overlap. Meaning, while one life
is going on, you could have another life going on as well. I learned
this, because I had a past life recently die a few months ago, that
was born during this one as well (she was 12ish). I'm not quite sure
how that works, but time is more or less a meaningless concept created
by humans, so the spirit doesn't need to follow it.
I do know some of my past lives, most
of the details I know are from near the end and the death, sadly.
Perhaps when I get a chance I'll type up some of the lives I remember
better. And no, I haven't been anyone famous, known in a history book.
People who go around claiming they are all these famous people, well
it's possible. Highly unlikely though.
In my past lives, I haven't actually
died of natural causes yet, in any of them. That may actual continue
in this life. It's an interesting thing to dream your own death, and
know you dreamt it, because you woke up in physical pain from the
dream. I won't go into details about how I saw myself dying though,
because hopefully it's an avoidable possibility. (I'd like to make
30 at least, lol)
Anyway, take a look at your own life.
Are there odd likes, dislikes, or phobias you have, that don't make
any sense? No logical basis for them? Could be from a past life.
