Does anybody believe that they lived previously before this life or spirits before the physical form?

Reincarntion is a true and proved phenomena. know something about it.\n\nReincarnation: Why Believe?Once I have begun to base my sense of ‘who I am’ on perceiving myself as a soul rather than on perceiving only my temporary costume, the body, I deeply realize that, as a being of spiritual energy giving life to the body, I am immortal. I begin to understand that I change bodily costumes just as a snake sheds its skin, but I – the eternal soul – can never die.\n\nDeath and Rebirth\nAt the moment of physical death, the soul withdraws its energy from the organs of the body and vacates its seat in the middle of the forehead. It takes with it the impressions accumulated in that life and enters into the body of an unborn baby, while that new body is still being formed in its mother’s womb. This normally happens between the fourth and fifth month of pregnancy. A human soul only enters a human body. The type of body the soul enters and the conditions of birth are determined by the past actions of the soul in its previous life or lives, and the cumulative account of give and take that it has built up with other souls. Without proper understanding of this process, the leaving of one body and the taking of another is often an experience of great fear and anguish; but the details of the old life are soon obliterated by new experiences so that the soul is not overwhelmed and confused by past memories.\n\nReincarnation: What You Take With You\nBy the time the baby’s body and brain are developed, the soul has all but forgotten the past and become accustomed to its new conditions and to the parents of its new body. However, although the soul cannot usually remember details of its past life or lives, it carries with it—in the form of attitudes, tendencies and personality—the cumulative effect of all that it has experienced and learned. All that is genetically brought to the new life is the physical make-up of the body, the racial type, the colour of eyes, shape of nose and so on. And although the environment in which a child is raised – as well as the personalities of those around the child – definitely exert an influence on the child’s development, its tendencies and reactions to people and events are not biologically generated but are inherent in the soul from previous existences. Those predominant impressions recorded in the past life soon begin to manifest themselves and are expressed in the new surroundings.\n\nRelationship in Other Lifetimes\nHuman life is based on inter–relationships between souls, which in turn are based on the different impressions present in each. These impressions determine the course of life, the nature of the soul’s activities and its physical placement in a particular environment. Thus there is typically a link or an ‘account’ between two souls who have formed a relationship in one lifetime; that link will bring them together again in other lifetimes. This explains why many people have the sense of having met or known a person before, even though they are apparently meeting for the first time. Or they experience meeting someone with the feeling of either attraction or repulsion even though they don’t know them well enough in the current life to have developed those feelings. What is taking place is that the soul is recognizing the other soul – even though they have different bodies – from the last time they met.\n\nReincarnation: Process of Rebirth\nReincarnation is a process of rebirth. With each death comes a new birth and the opening of a new chapter in the never ending story of life. With each new birth the soul carries on with its journey through eternity where it left off in terms of its ‘accounts’ in the previous birth. The soul is not the victim of an angry or vengeful God condemning it to a lifetime of deprivation or suffering for no apparent reason. The soul inherits a past created by its own self. The fact that the precise past causes for the circumstances of the

mine is simple. i believe in mother nature. i believe that there is a final resting place for souls if you will, but that you won't get there until you learn all of your lessons in each life. as far as the strength to carry on i just look out my window and see the trees and the animals.\n\nand as for the ghosts..yeah i used to see my grandfather in our old house. i'd be in my room watching tv or something and he'd float on by in my other room(i had two rooms connected).\n\nps-runningman i think he wants your personal reasons, not regurgitated words from a website.

I am a believer in reincarnation. It would explain why children come into the world with such distinct personalities, and also why people have such odd phobias. There is scientific evidence (none of it conclusive) that reinforces my belief as well. I also believe that there are many places in the Universe where one may incarnate, and that a lot of beings from other places are choosing to live lives here now. I'm flirting with the idea that I'm from one of those other places, because I'm so drawn to the idea of extraterrestrial life.

People who beleive in ghosts (and I don't) say that only troubled spirits stay behind as ghosts. I am very happy. In 150 years, I will be dead, but not a ghost. And I don't think about it, other than answering this question, because I am enjoying my life in the present.

I believe its real. Some don't. It depends how you grew up and who your influences were. I believe that your spirit reincarnates into a higher spirit if you have treated it well during your life, otherwise you will reincarnate into another life where your spiritual 'level' has not progressed. I am not going to go into much detail... \n\nYou've heard the stories about people recalling previous lives. Do you believe them? I'm not sure myself, but its pretty freaky how much they know about someone else's life in the past. \n\nIt ultimately is upto you to believe if it is fact or fiction, and whichever makes you feel better.

have you been to another a place you have never been before but seem familiar and feels that you have been here before?the best explanation is you were there in your past life.Death is only a transition from one form to another,just like discarding a torn shirt and changing a new one,reincarnation is very true and natural,it is the law of nature.\nYour life today is the result of your Attitude and Choice of the Past\nYour life tomorrow is the result of your Attitude and Choice you made Today

Interesting question!  I am really looking forward to the answers on this one.\n\nI used to think I was having past life memories.  I was having a deja vu-type experience very often, like every few hours.  I would remember a memory that wasn't my own.  To this day I'm not sure whats happening when it occurs (still pretty much daily) but I'm sure its just some wires getting crossed in my brain somehow.

I believe in spirits. In fact theirs one inside of me right now, the Holy Spirit. There is indeed good and evil spirits. Servants of God and servants of Satan. &#92;the Bible strictly forbids us to communicate with them so no I don't communicate with them. (except the Holy Spirit)

No, I don't believe in absolute truth when it comes to spirituality.\n\nMen came into existence due to the natural evolutionary process.\n\nI have never died and lived to tell about it so I don't know what happens when we die. Maybe we're just worm food, maybe we are reborn, and definitely our matter changes form and goes back from whence it came. Whether or not consciousness lives on after death - I don't know. I guess I'll eventually find out.

Hi! Yes, I do. The past, present and future exist inter-dimensionally and your "knowing" is a form of energy that descends upon you from SPIRIT. This energy is filtered by your conscious and subconscious mind. We interpret this energy in various ways and it works itself into our "dreams". I'm glad you listen to you "dreams" and your intuition. I always say : Awareness is the first step.

If you mean that you believe that you have been visited by someone who has passed over, then yes it is possible that they are around you in spirit, especially loved ones.\nMany who pass from this physical world cannot leave the realms of this dimention for many reasons and can be trying to tell you this.

Yes, it's for real. \n\nI recently remembered a month ago my first past life recall. I remembered living in India as a woman from another country. I had studied many religions and spirituality. I ended up chosing Hinduism as my religion to study seriously on my spiritual path.\n\nWhile living in India, I studied under a woman guru named Parvati. I remembered this temple that had this giant monkey statue on the outside.\n\nI had to leave the ashram for a couple of days, Parvati was asking me some medicine-related questions if I was prepared and had them.\n\nOn the way travelling, I got horribly sick with a dreadful disease. It was smallpox. My entire body was mummified. A man carried me to the doctor's. It was not modern at all. Kind of primative. This was during WWI. He poured water on my body that was wrapped up in white cloth, I screamed like bloody h*ll. Blood seeped through the cloth. I was above watching the whole thing.\n\nI did not feel anything, but I felt a lot of compassion for my past self and for the horrible suffering she was going through. I felt it was so unnecessary. They also put me against the wall to circulate my blood. My eyes were covered up too. Parvati, my guru, came to visit me as she was given word that I was dying.\n\nMy last words spoken were "Brahman of all things". I had my mind focused on God when I died which is very important for your next life.\n\nThis life, I'm just a white girl from CA but I ended up feeling at home with Hinduism after studying spiritualy and religions for 17 years. I am picking up where I left off. Amma is now my Satguru in this life. She is helping me finish my journey to God-Realization in this life. I do eventually want to live the rest of my life in India in her ashram. This past life recall helped me understand who I am in this life by explaining how I ended up on this journey and plus that disease helped wipe clean some bad karma as I hardly have any more bad karma to deal with this life. It was quite insightful.\n\nThere is a very interesting site http://www.johnadams.net This guy Walter Semkiv, M.D. had some some research on many cases of past lives and wrote a book called "Return of the Revolutionaries" which I have read. It is fascinating to read and there were many stories of how people can to find out who they are in their past life and became shocked at how identical the looked like in their former life. It is a known fact that our Soul would retain very similiar facial features life after life. There are many examples on that website. Take a look!\n\nI also wrote two posts about past lives on my 360 blog, the first about the above recall and the second about how people look like their past lives:\n\nhttp://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-O50H77Iib6fVzcbXCb1eO_cIAk0-?cq=1&l=46&u=50&mx=111&lmt=5&p=263\n\nhttp://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-O50H77Iib6fVzcbXCb1eO_cIAk0-?cq=1&l=21&u=25&mx=111&lmt=5&p=356

No expert, but I can say unequivocally, we all have been "there" before life. Same place as after death, only none of us can remember because memory is a human condition. In the before and after, time doesn't exist, therfore memories cannot as they are based on experience and time...both of which are "Earthly" conventions. Consciousness, as an illusion and condition of human and perhaps other life forms' existence, leads us to many erroneous beliefs and misconcpetions about life after death. Life is now, death is later, so there is no "life" after death, else there is only life. But there is a condition and that condition is similar, if not the same, as pref-life. But I am no expert...

there is an explanation for it should you choose to believe.\nwe as human beings experience and live all there is in the Universe during each and every moment, there is no more than there is right now - this very second- within the physical realm.\n\nYet the soul has been and will be forever free to travel as it so chooses throughout time, re-membering.  notice the hyphen.  it is within the "dream" state that the soul is able to disengage from the physical shackles of the world and manifest itself where ever and whenever. I have been doing this for years, as a child I would have the same dream over and over until it manifested.\nAnd more recently, when I am sleeping I have found that if I have taken a period of specific meditation before laying down i can direct where i "go" in my state of ultimate consciousness.  notice the lack of the use un -\nAnd the damnedest thing of all is this thing that happens all the time....  i will start dreaming about having a conversation with someone, and the phone will ring bringing me back to the state of un-consciousness will call life, and it's the person I was just conversing with in my "dream".  it's wild....\nabout a month ago, my friend who normally calls me in the early am when we are both on the road didn't call. I love deeply and was getting worried, well.. when this friend did call what we could consider late... the explanation was this... he had an inspector for the jobsite with him and blah blah blah...  he goes on to tell me the inspectors name and yada yada, which jarred my memory.  I had been in the truck with them that morning.  In sleep state i was asking if my friend knew someone named Paul... and blah blah and I'll be dammned if the inspector wasn't a guy named Paul.  Most really great dreams come by way of two souls being in the same place at the same time.\nI can will my kids and i into mutual dreams with their help.\nif they're willing we can go to f-in disneyland for the night.

It is not unusual for people to remember past lives while under hypnosis.  I was once fascinated by such books as "The Search for the Girl with the Blue Eyes" (Stearn) and "Audrey Murphy (Bernstein)," where Ruth Simmons was placed into a hypnotic state to recall past lives.\n\nMy sister was once part of an age-regression experiment and recalled that her name was "Helga," married to a man named "Hans" and died in an avalanche.  The session was recorded and played back to her after the experiment.  She was particularly shocked at her accent and detailed knowledge of an earlier life in a foreign country.\n\nAfter many years of searching, I believe I have found the answer.  At least it has satisfied my deepest concern and curiosity:\n\nWhile I have no hard proof, I am absolutely convinced that these detailed accounts are "remembered" by the spirits (or demons, if you will) that previously have inhabited these various individuals.  People only live once but spirits have the ability to exist throughout many generations of the human lifespan and can be summoned under hypnosis to recall their previous hosts.\n\nIt is a rather disconcerting thought to realize that my sister (an atheist) harbors one of these entities.\n\nJohnny
