Past Lives. What do you think? .... Open minded ppl only?
Okay so what are peoples ideas on past lives? Psychics and or professionals any ideas? I know I am not crazy but I totally am a Christian and totally believe in past lives I could go on and on why, but I really would like others views to see if I am on the same page as others are. Has anyone out there had real visions? Do you believe we pick an chose this life? Do you believe there is a lesson to learn, and do you believe that you will eventually after learning this lives lessons will go onto heaven? Do you believe in soul mates? If so do you think it is possible you will always met them? Do you believe its possible and more likely you wont? Do you believe sometimes your soul mate is already done with their lives? Just tell me what you think, I would really like open minded people not people wasting their times to say they dont or control freaks out there to call me crazy for thinking.

I do believe in reincarnation, and I do believe we choose the things we want to focus on in a particular lifetime. I don't have any fixed idea of what the ultimate purpose is in the end, though I do think that we're trying to better ourselves through successive incarnations, to learn more and to develop our highest potentials.
I don't believe in the popular concept of soul mates; ie: there's one perfect person out there for everyone, and if you just find them, your lives will be perfect, unending bliss. It just doesn't work that way. I think that we incarnate in groups of family, friends and romantic interests, and thus you could have more than one romantic "soul mate." But I feel that soul mates are there so we can assist each other in our growth. And growth requires some challenges. Soul mate relationships may actually be harder relationships than other kinds.
But at any rate, I think learning about past lives and the connections you may have with other souls in your group is only useful in how much it helps you in your *present* life. There have been stories of people who find the reason for their current phobias in a past life regression, and that helps them along the road to recovery. It doesn't matter so much if the story is true, but if the symbolism of it can help people to find enough perspective to help people deal with their current issues.
It may be possible for a spirit to go "up there" to whatever the person religiously believes it is.. and then to possess a newborn body as it comes into the world. That may be the idea behind reincarnation.
As far as past lives.. i think it would be genetic memory. You should know your true family history.
You are not Crazy . Yes I believe in past lives , Yes I do remember most of them , as to Picking your next , That I don't think you do , I think you go to the Next life in order to move on to a higher Plane of Enlightenment and you pay for what you have done , in past lives To get it right and Learn Lessons , I know I have . I know many Christians who admit to me they Believe in Reincarnation but would NEVER tell their Christians Friends for fear of being ostracized
