Past Life Regression/ experiences/ Deja-vu

[Kansaseq]

Going out on a limb, here

I've always found this to be a fascinating subject. And though brought up Catholic, I have always thought that the idea of multiple lives, consisting of a journey of learning until we reach a more 'enlightened' stage, makes sense. I realize this is kind of a 'cooky' topic, and if you don't believe in it, that's your right. I'm interested in hearing from people who embrace the idea, and who may have even had some personal experience with it themselves.

I always believed in my past life I was someone who lived in England. When I visited England for the FIRST time I had this strange feeling that I've been there before. I remember going in the country side in Somerset and around Bath area and I was looking at all this old houses and stone walls and fences and for some reason everything looked so familiar to me, like I've been there before and I've seen and touched the stone. The architectural style was so familiar to me like it was from my past, yet none of the places I grow up, lived or visited before looked anything like it. And I'm not talking about seeing pictures on TV or magazines. I can't really explain that feeling, but I felt like……I came back home.

Has someone been reading past life regression books?! Haha. A friend of mine and I talked about it a couple times and we really loved the idea. I, for one, believe what people personally believe happens to them is what happens to them - and this actually kind of fits.

I have a really weird sense of intuition. I've said things were going to happen that were incredibly detailed and happened. I call it intuition because I think I just get feelings by using my surroundings... but my husband still can't explain how I predicted a white truck would kill a deer on a bridge 20 minutes before it happened. Or why I started having really bad flood dreams about all the locations that had floods (I even named each place I dreampt about to him the next morning and he rememebrs this) two months before the occured. I don't know why I did these things. Frankly, I don't think why or how - nothing I can do about it.

But if the idea we all set ourselves up for this before we are born is true, it would make the most sense. More sense anyway than "I dunno, I just thought it and it happened." Lol, which is what I say now.

I believe I have lived before.

Now, how I reconcile that with my scientific beliefs is this:

Time happened all at once. We are only able to perceive it in linear fashion, like beads on a string. We humans have limited perception; we know there are other frequencies of colors in the spectrum, but we only see a small portion of the "visible" light. Other animals can see more, or less, than can we.

Time is like that, too. All at once, overlapped and jumbled, so to speak. Occasionally, we perceive where our "beads" on our "string" intersect with others. And we experience Deja Vu. Or sense it. Therefore, I have lived this moment, or another lifetime, before.

I don't know about believing it, but I have been through past life regression for fun, a few times, when I was younger. Reincarnation sounds good though. Some of it was pure bunk. Did have one psychic from Vancouver BC, who was uncannily accurate and specific. She told me that I lived in a house that wasn't a house. That I had a second and third story, but no first floor. She couldn't explain what she meant. At the time I lived in an apt. that was built into the side of a hill, just 1 floor, one side was the third story, one side was the second story. I was at the end of the wing and the first story did not extend to under my apt.
She did a "rose reading". Don't remember any other details right now, but I did have it audio taped. I think she told me I was a priest in ancient Britain. An early christian woman martyr, in Rome. And in my last life I died in an explosion, in WW2 Italy, at 19yo. Lots other other details as well. Might have to go searching for the tape. I never did think to ask what side I was on in Italy.

Imp- course she was made up for by "Henri" who made jazz hands, went "woo woo woo" and told me I was receiving alien emanations from outer space.

I do think something alien was going on.

No, not books; rather, a tv show. It touched on past lives, which I've always been interested in, so of course now I'm wanting more info again.
That's freaky and cool that you have foersight into future events. Well, I guess it's not cool when bad stuff happens.

greyeyes, that's a good explanation. I've heard many times before that time may not be linear, but that is how we experience it.
Imp, freaky! And the whacko guy with jazz hands, well, there's way too many of them out there, too

One of the problems with that line of thought is that everyone thinks they were somebody important....It's just hard for ten different women to be Cleopatra.
You never see anyone who was some soil scraping serf, who got his back beat, on a regular basis, for not working hard enough.

 

[Kansaseq]

I know what you are saying, Royd, and agree. I'm guessing that the 10 people who think they were Cleopatra (or and Indian princess) are either fabricating the information, or misinterpreting it (wishful thinking).
I imagine I was probably something mundane, like a scullery maid (whatever that is

)

Funny story. I was at a Thankgiving skydiving boogie, in Zephyrhills, Fl......Lots of Europeans come for their winter holidays, so the place is buzzing. Pretty cool, actually.

Anyway, on the first evening, I am sitting in the bar, talking to these two brothers, from England. Suddenly, I had a serious case of deja vu, and it obviously showed, on my face.

They asked"What was the matter?" and I told them, that I had had this very same conversation, with them, in this exact spot, before.

Love the British humour. One of them asks, "Do we die?"
