Past Life Regression/ experiences/ Deja-vu

[Royd]

Maybe our souls don't conform to time or singularity as we know it. Maybe somehow we get to choose. I don't pretend to know how it all works either, but I suspect it has something to do with

circles and cycles...

Did you steal that from Willie Nelson and his "Tougher than leather" album? An excellent story about reincarnation.​

Well I think that people can come back as animals and animals can come back as people. Since so many animals are going on the endangered species list/becoming extinct, they become humans in their next life.

Are you saying that most men were pigs or dogs, at some time in their past?

Makes sense

The fact that we are primarily electrical in nature and that all atoms of the universe are in ever constant motion makes me wonder about reconstitution of energy signals. My daughter's experiences when she was very young are quite different than mine, but her experiences now and mine are pretty similar. Inexplicable knowledge and familiarity with places we have never been before seem to be it.

My sister and I went to a fort in VA, we walked in together and grabbed each other's hands. We stared at each other in shock we KNEW we had both been there before! The fort has changed alot over the years, but we both went through and pinpointed how things had been in the different buildings during the civil war. I could not walk down one hallway because I could see the cots of teh soldiers who had been triaged as past saving and left in this hall to die. I knew that that was what this hall was for. My sister said I was right and walked past the hallway to another room and headed straight for a brick wall. She pointed at the wall and said the surgery is right in there. A docent came over and touched her arm and said, "You are one of us. You have been here before." Then the docent looked at my sister and widened her eyes really far. She stepped back and said, "Doc!"

My sister is a doctor in the military, now.

She has always sworn that she felt like doing this was something she had done before because it always felt so comfortable and familiar. She knew how to do stitches when she was only 11. Our dog got hit by a car and my parents could not afford to take her to the vet. My sister knew exactly what to do and stitched her wound perfectly. She was so good the whole neighborhood talked about it for years. Long before med school she stitched both me and my father.

I know that I do not know what causes things like that. I am a true believer in all things scientific and provable and I am not one given to "faith" in anything I cannot study empirically. But, that flies in the face of my real life experiences. And trust me on this one: few of my experiences are wishful thinking! I would never willingly go back to that fort!!!!

Brian Weiss has some books that may interest you if youve never read them, this was my first intro to past lives.

I wrote a big thing about this but it got lost in cyber land. I always take that as a sign I said something I should not have.
It is difficult to get into, but kind of ties all of everyone's questions together.
It was sent to me at a time when I needed to make some sense from some painful experience.
I Will not be the one to say that anything I read, or feel, or think is correct, or right, or the only way or path.

Someone told me once that God is a brilliant multi faceted gemstone. That we see only one facet. but there are many many more, just as brilliant and bright and captivating as the one we see.
I liked that analogy. I do not need anyone to agree with me. I do not need to make anyone else feel wrong or insecure. I really do not want that. Life is not black or white. Just because someone wrote it down, does not mean it is right or wrong. Binary thinking is not really thinking, it is just on and off. and that isn't really thinking.

Reincarnation? Heck no. Deja vu seems to me to simply be a weird mental screw-up. Happens to me all the time, never thought much about it. Odds are, something similar had happened before, and something (topic of conversation, setting, etc.) matched perfectly with the past event, and it triggered some sort of memory glitch, which gives the brain the impression that it happened before. If I devote a lot of thought to it (I usually don't), I can typically remember a similar event.

Don't get me wrong - I'm a strong Christian, I believe in a spiritual side to things, particularly when it comes to demonic involvement in "ghost" sightings - but if there's a probable natural explanation, that's what I typically go with. Which leads me to believe that past life "experiences" are simply mental events triggered by things we've read/seen/heard/done in the past. It simply strikes me as far more logical and probable, alongside the fact that it completely goes against the Bible.

ON, when it comes to "presences," I'd be careful. I know you're not a Christian, but I'll throw out this warning anyway for the benefit of Christians or Jews with similar experiences - there's very likely spiritual deception going on there. I don't just dismiss ghost sightings, in fact I take them VERY seriously. Satan is a very clever fiend, and his legions have had all of human history to learn to play off of our fears and/or desires. I have a couple of Christian friends who have literally seen "ghosts," and these men are serious about their faith.

Stepping off the soapbox now.

(Sorry if this in any way leads to a thread hijack, but that last paragraph seemed necessary.

I have Deja vu quite a bit. I usually just get a little dizzy and feel like I've "been here before". Every once in awhile I can predict something small, but I usually just chalk it up to intuition or coincidence. Sometimes I feel a very strong connection to animals, but usually only when I am really, really listening (mentally anyways). Most of the time I am too preoccupied with my own daily happenings that I close off my mind and forget to relax.

One weird thing I've noticed that NEVER fails to happen is when I go upstairs to bed, I only have to think my cat's name a few times and she'll be up shortly afterwards. Rarely before (unless she follows me upstairs) and it doesn't take her long to come after I call to her.

I do have a very strange and vivid memory of being on a gun range as a kid with another young boy. We were collecting the shells from the guns that had been fired. This has never happened to me in this life, but it's a memory I've always had ever since I can remember, just the same as all my other memories that actually happened.

The strangest thing that's ever happened to me occurred in a dream when I was younger. Twice during the night my blood sugar dropped low and I couldn't wake up. In the dream, I was playing a game with the grim reaper. Each time it happened, I was playing a different game. One time it was a game like life-sized chess and another time it was a game like roulette. The grim reaper was always standing on the side, watching. Right before I would wake up, I would win the game, the grim reaper would nod, and I'd be swept up in twister sort of thing right before my eyes opened. I have no explanation for this, but I do think something really strange happened both times. I was pretty shaken up about it. Only happened those two times, but I like to say I've met the grim reaper, and he really wasn't such a bad guy.

Q you know I am not christian but I respect your faith. I don't believe in satan per se, but I do believe in entities with evil intent. Sometimes the veil should not be lifted. I have, unfortunately, seen many ghosts. And no, I don't like it nor seek it out, sometimes they seem to seek me out.

While I have seen that which I have felt to be "bad" I could tell them from those who are lost or trying to communicate.

The worst part about it? I don't believe in any of it. I prefer objective hard reality. Science over faith. But, its kind of hard when it is part of your life experience to the degree that it has been in mine.

For the most part, if i keep my own heart and intent clear, the outcomes have all been good. Some have been much harder to do than others, but they turned out good for other people and so I believe they were good. I suspect it does not make sense. But, every time I "go public" I get a backlash, so I tend not to be very open about it. If you are worried, I will take it as a sign of friendship and encourage you to pray for me. It is all positive energy on my behalf put out there and I am grateful. I just get very frustrated with people who swear what I have experienced is "not true".

I am really enjoying reading this thread. Keep it coming, pretty please!

Dreams: God has been using dreams to communicate with us humans since we can remember. I highly encourage everyone to keep a dream journal. Just a few sentences and the date is all you need. You may be surprised how many of your dreams make sense down the road. I don't mean precognition. More like "guess I was more worried about X, it popped up in my dreams two seperate times" is more what I mean.

Memories of other lives: it occurred to me many years ago that God has the ultimate ability to say "Roll tape!" and show us something. How do we deal with a difficult spouse or child? Can we have sympathy for a victim that "deserved" the thing that happened? God can share with us ANYone's memory of a situation to help us gain understanding. This doesn't mean for an instance that I'm attempting to disprove past lives. I do think this helps to explain a lot though!

IHWIMY, I can sympathize with reluctance about going public. It takes a bunch of explaining before I let people know I talk to dead people... in the morning... in my dreams. These are not ghosts. They are "properly passed over" family and friends that drop by to give me encouragement or a kick in the rear!
