Past Life Regression/ experiences/ Deja-vu

No more so than anybody, I don't think...

I don't really think I was, either, but I figured I'd mention it just 'cause it was pretty funny.

In retrospect, my early youth growing up on the Oregon coast was fraught with absolute terror of drowning and therefore made perfect sense

The Oregon, Washington coast appears to be violent, cold and deep, and common sense says, don't go in there, or you are dead.​

I have feelings that I was at one time a servant to a wealthy home. I wasn't important or even noticeable, I think that I often wasn't able to do things fast enough or well enough. I spent my life that time in the same humble position. I find now that I want much more, but I don't think that I have learned or been able to change what I need to in this life. I find myself ready to move on to the next life, to be able to find what I seem to be looking for.

I do have a fear of the water. I think it's about the water being so cold and deep. I still can't stand the cold. It must have been about the thing of being raised near the salt water in Washington state. I think that I was very very poor for most of my past, and this life has given me a lot more. Yet I don't seem to know how to handle that wealth as well as someone that has been wealthy for a long time.

It can be a hard thing to do. OK I suppose I will talk, maybe me sharing can help others.::::

With the help of some of my friends on the old Pagan thread, I was actually able to dream my way out of a terrible "past life" thing. I do not know how to explain this, but in my mind one can change the mental "past" or whatever it is to some degree.

I guess I feel it does not matter if the things that "burden" us are from past lives, or lively imagination and abstractions we use to deal with things that bother us in our current lives.. The idea is to learn from "it" to make ourselves feel better about ourselves and be better people.

OK, my whole life since young on I would have bad dreams in the 3rd person, of where to put the bodies.. Yep serial killer dreams.

..
I spent way to many years having a couple drinks before going to bed to numb the mind to avoid bad dreams. (An unhealthy thing to do on both a physical level and on a mental/spiritual level.) To make matters even worse, I had a customer friend who was a palm reader. One time a group of us were at a convention and for fun she read our palms... All fun and game until she got to mine... My odd super long double life lines with branches coming off them were well disturbing... Yep either serial killer or enlightened individual.
.

Through a complete live style change, and cleansing the mind and body..(For nearly a decade) I was finally able to shake the bad dreams. (One of the bad dreams was always in the same house with bodies in the basement.)

This seems so silly, but I simply had a vivid dream, that the house was sold to one of my childhood classmates, and at the bus stop she said they loved the house.

That simple little approval, that confirmation that that house was not filled with bodies.. That was it! All it took...

Sure I am still a very sensitive person. I feel as if I carry the burden of humanities pains and so forth . But that awful little dark corner is gone!

I have always had that sensation, from young on.

OMG, Organics! That must have been hard to share. Thank you.
I've often wondered about what happens to people who do things that aren't..........nice. Your story makes a lot of sense. And it sounds like you are NOTHING like your previous personality .

Something else I am curious about is the people in our lives. I've heard that we are usually surrounded by many of the same people, only in different roles. It makes me very curious as to who my mom was to me in the past.

That is my biggest fear.
I want out of that loop. There have been very, very good people in my life, but the ones ... well,
I always wanted to go home. I remember being young and wishing these people would just take me home.
I would sit by the wood stove and be so painfully homesick, and my father's hunting dog would come up to me and press her head into my chest until I was better.

I have known my husband forever. He has always been gentle and kind. I knew it the moment I saw him.

I guess I am a kook, and that's just the way it was. or is, things have been hard learned in this life, I will not trust or love blindly again. I will not work so hard to help/please people who don't want me.
I will not hide my light under a bushel.

Maybe the next time around, I will be strong enough to help those people, but I am not now.

But here is a question. I realize that there is mental illness and different neurological problems with these people. Does that go with them?
I would imagine serial killers have some mental issues...
I don't know. do we learn? What about people who have dementia and can not remember anything of their lives, do they start all over?
I know these questions are the ones that are not the 'black and white' answers of the bible. I know I should just have faith. And it should be certain, but life ever after, sounds like reincarnation to me.
Again, I am a kook. I hope this doesn't get this thread locked, because I find this very interesting.

 

[Kansaseq]

3goodeggs,why would it get the thread locked?
Very good points. Personally, I think that if you are burdened with a mental illness in one life, you will not have it in the next. Similarly, I don't think that someone with dementia will have to 'start over', because dementia is something linked to our physical selves. I don't pretend to have all the answers, but these are a few of the beliefs I've picked up over the years.

And if you're a kook, well, so am I !

What would be the purpose of going from one miserable life to the next? We have to be honest, here.....At best, a human has 50-60 quality years. After that, the body and the mind begin their deterioration, and many people look forward to leaving this life, long before they reach the end.

Remember the song, In the year 2525? Basically, we end up being mushrooms, sitting in a room, with machines doing everything for us, and current technology and thought seem to be headed in that direction.

Who, in their right mind, would desire such a life?
For most of us, even the changing of the seasons hold no particular challenge, in the moment....At one time, the season ahead, was the challenge of the current season. There was always a driving force in life. Not so much, anymore. We go to the same deadend job, in the same cubicle or storefront and sell the same item, day after day, year after year, created by someone else, standing on an assembly line...Rinse and repeat.
