reincarnation was the topic of a radio show i heard coming into work this morning. (coast to coast a.m. with george norri). i'll be honest, i lean toward believing in it. what about you? 

i gotta tell you about a caller to the show that cracked me up though. she said she's CERTAIN that her father who died in 1995 has come back as her sister's pet shih tzu! she and her family see her dad's unusual facial expressions in the dog, and she thinks this was her dad's way of coming back to take care of them. the dog apparently has kept a 24/7 watch on this woman since she came back from open heart surgery.  he licks her when he notices her blood sugar is low and does other helpful things as she recovers. well who's to say they're wrong?! what a wonderful way to enjoy your dog!

we've talked at my house about my 8 year old being a japanese man in a previous life. he took to oregami several years ago and is really quite amazing with creating his own designs now. and when he got a taste of taekwondo he was instantly hooked. (ok... that's korean right?... but asian nonetheless.) he was also really good with chopsticks at an early age! lol! (i know that's weak...)

but what about you?? what do you think you might have been in a past life?

I believe in them but I think I have been someone simple cause I can not think of anything. I do believe I lived in the 50's at one time cause I am drawn to that time. I long and wish to live then so badly. I think I was from farm country, cause I sometimes dream about a field of golden wheat.
Who knows, its a good thought though. I listen to that show nightly when I work in the field.

I guess I never thought about it but I would like to think I was a socialite in the Victorian era.

Not sure I believe in past lives or not.

Interesting topic. Personally, I don't believe in it, but this is kind of fun thinking about who or what you might have been in a past life!

Maybe I was a meteorologist in a past life, and am going for it again!

I think I went to college in the late thirties and went into the war in 1942. I think that is where my phobia of firecrackers,baloons popping, anything sudden and loud,etc... comes from.Farther back I think I must have come from Ireland.
I believe in reincarnation because I believe that your soul must evolve and learn many different things that can only be learned through life experience.This time ,here and now, will be used to learn certain things that will allow our soul to become more complete.But other lessons will have been learned from other circumstances,from different life experiences.I can't believe that this small amount of time that we call a life span is all we are allowed in order to create the soul that we present to God.

good one randy! and interesting "back stories!" everyone. i don't know who i may have been.. no feel for it, but i do think there are a couple close relationships in my life, my husband for one, who were souls with me in a past life. there's just that familiarity and connection. soul mate? sure. but that sounds trite, to me anyway.

i looked at pickles and rocket last night and wondered who they used to be in my life. i decided that no one has died that i know of who liked me enough to come back as my dog! lol!

This got me thinking of the movie, WHAT DREAMS MAY COME with Robin Williams. In the beginning they met by thier boats crashing into one another and in the end they try another chance at life, to see if they can find eachother again, and then in shows a little boy and a little girl who meet the same way they did in the begining. I think there is a such thing as soul mates and you go through each life looking for them again and you know when you found them the instant you do.

I feel drawn to the 60's. I was born in '69 so it is possible I made a "round trip".

Yes I do believe in reincarnation. I also believe that we go to "heaven" and wait till we are born again.

I beleive there is a form of reincarnation. Think about it. The earth does not waste anything. Everything is there for a reason. We are here to take care of the earth. Something has to be here to do that. It's unfortuanate that it looks like we are slowly destroying it however after we die, our bodies rot away to the earth to feed the plant..or buzzards..the chain of life. I think our spirits or sould still remain on earth and come back to do it all over again. Am I weird for thinking this? Leaves die..mulch. Trees grow again. Nothing is wasted on this earth.
