Past lives..

[melchpeppi]

Just putting this out there - I've been thinking on it for awhile... I knew DP when I met him, and he knew me - my first thought was 'oh, so here you are finally'. Bizarre but it was exactly true...

My father passed just after Lola was born. Sometime during the first day of Tajs life (3 yrs later) I looked down at him and said 'don't worry, you are going to have it good this time round'. Taj opened his eyes and stared intently into mine. I just knew at that time I was communicating with my father. I don't think that Taj is my father reincarnate at all - its a little more complicated than that. I kind of feel like at that time that was the forgiveness I needed to give my father so he could be released, and so I could be released. To continue our journeys y'know?

The question is, do you feel those deep connections with some people have something to do with your souls journey through time?

Recurring situations - lessons that need to be learned? From a past time?

Difficult relationships that you cannot walk away from - possibly a traumatic relationship/death/situation involving that person from a past life?

Oh Mel, so many questions! These are really hard...

This gave me shivers though -
I knew DP when I met him, and he knew me - my first thought was 'oh, so here you are finally'. . I really believe there's someone out there that I'm just waiting to meet. I don't know why or when or where or who, but for some inexplicable reason I believe that one day I'll say the same thing to myself that you did when you met DP.

I often think of my DD1 as an old soul, and my Dad has often made the same comment. I don't if I've known her before, but I think she's been here before. I'd like to believe she's part of my dear Nan (who passed away when I was 16), but I think that's more wishful thinking than actual fact.

I sometimes know what an experience will feel like before I've ever experienced it - I sometimes wonder why that is...?

Very interesting questions Mel - I'm looking forward to reading others responses.

I know that H and I have shared 3 past lives together. This is out 4th. Throughout our lives we have swapped the male female roles within our relationships, which actually explains a lot about us as individuals.

We were together in Egypt times, then again in Tudor England and our final live ended when we were evacuating Nazi Germany in 1932. We know more about this life than any other. We have had 3 people tell us the same info about this life, they don't know each other so we are confident about it.
Apparently we were a married couple with 2 sons in Germany, we were business people owning a business with another couple. When Hitler took over Germany we decided that we would leave Germany with our children. We were the only ones who had children. But the plane crashed on take off. A friend of ours described us saying goodbye to him, described the plane and then described as he saw it crash at the end of the runway. We believe he was 1 half of the other couple. After he had told us all this, we went looking for the type of plane he described, we found it. He immediately recognized it and the caption said that it was used to ferry people out of Germany during the early 1930's.
I find this all fascinating as it explains alot about our relationship.

Oh wow Karena - that is out of control! I love that you know so much about your history together! Did you sense your connection with him in the early days of your current time together?

Ingrid, I always knew that DP and I would come together again - and the morning of our coming together I was drawn to my friends house (where DP was hanging out), I had 'One Armed Scissor' cranked on my car stereo and as I pulled in the exact song was playing at my friends house, and DP told me that he had been listening to the same song on his way over to our friends house that morning! It was like being sucked into a vortex - it was weird but awesome :)

The main relationship that I am trying to figure out is the one with my mother and myself and my brother. Its a strange and bizarre setup and I know that there must be some underlaying stuff there, whether something traumatic happened between us or to us or one of us did it to the other - it was bad, whatever it was...

Yep we sure did, we were talking about baby names and where we were going to get married on our first date and when we were 19 and 21. We were married by the time we were 21 and 23 years old.

We often said to each other "Loved you before I even knew you", we described as the missing piece of the puzzle in our lives. I think this is how we have got through what we have in our marriage.

How cool to have those kind of connections!

I have people in my life where there is deep understanding and connection, but not that familiar/known-them-before thing.

Maybe I'm a new soul...

I also believe that Harry has been our child throughout our lives, but Brock is new to us for this life. Just visions I've been getting about the boys when I meditate.

[skn]

I want to know how many other people have this feeling!

Someone told me recently that DD2 has been here before. I've also decided that not only am I a new soul, so is DD1.

[Mercurious]

I thought I responded but my response isn't here.

I felt a "I know you from somewhere" connection the moment I looked into DS's eyes. I loved DD as soon as I met here but there wasn't that recognition.

I've had periods when I have been really interested in past life stuff, but these days I feel more that I am a spiritual being on a human journey, I try not to let myself drift off to much. I figure I can find all that stuff out once I'm gone. I'm having a human journey for a reason and it's my responsiblity to be the best human I can be.

I'm not saying I don't find this stuff interesting, or that I don't think about it, I just know it's very easy for me to go drifting off and forget what I'm here for.

I have brief recollections of 3 past lives (1 female, 2 male), but not specifically with anyone I know now.

However, there were some cosmic forces at play when DH & I got together, so whether or not we were together in a past life, I think we were supposed to learn from each other this time. I actually feel we were brought together so DD could walk the Earth again.

My DD & my sister have had a strong connection since conception (sis told me I was preg & DD invited her into my womb late in the pregnancy - it's dark, apparently :2lol) - a psychic told my sis that she & DD were mother & daughter in a past life. She's also been told that she & our Mum were mother & daughter, although the other way around, in a past life. When I was preg with DD, I had a really strong feeling that she would teach me more than I could ever teach her.

I was watching a show on past lives the other day & I ended up bawling my eyes out - like it triggered something deep inside me. I think I'll have to find someone who can take me back & figure it out.

I've never met anyone from a past life (that I'm aware of) but I've 'dreamed' one of my deaths. The ship I was on (I think I was an American marine) had been bombed and I was floating in the ocean. The ship we were on is sinking, I can see - but not well enough to make out the number - on its side) It was night and very dark except for the flames (oil burning on the surface of the ocean or something like that) and from the bullets leaving the planes that attacked us. I can see the bullets travelling towards me, hitting the water and spitting it up. There is no pain, everything goes red and then black and nothing. Oh, WWII

[Nyree]

Wow Bron - that reminds me of the show I saw (may have been Oprah???) where one of the guests had always had dreams of planes as long as he could remember. When they did the regression, it turns our he was in a fighter plane in WWII. He was supposed to fire the guns, but was confused & couldn't bring himself to do it, so as a result, their plane was shot down & crashed into the water. The "no pain" and the scene you describe sounds very similar.

i have lots of thoughts on this :)

As a buddhist i beleive we have all had many many lives before...I have some feelings and knowledge of my past lives, but i feel nervous about sharing it, so lets just say i have some memories....

i have had some connections in this life that i just KNOW are past life connections, they are so strong and i feel that there is just not enough time to catch up with them and tell them whats happened since the last time we met in the last life or life before.

skn - perhaps you arent a new soul, just new to being human? do you have any feelings or connections about animals? perhaps that was your last incarnation?
