Reincarnation and Soul-mates (128)
gingerb: I have reasons for not believing in reincarnation or soulmates except in the broadest sense. I believe we are all facets of the same entity.
A bit like a mirror that shatters into a billion pieces and falls on a very rough floor. All the pieces that make up the whole are there, just facing different directions and reflecting different things. None know about the others but find some that are facing the same way lying close to them an bond with the similarities they find.
In order to recognise anything, we have to recognise ourselves in others, all others, and recognise others in ourselves. With that comes humility and the patience to "see" more through experience, or just "being"..
Where we get sidetracked, is in using our brain's natural tendency to try to figure things out and find answers. We cannot find answers because we don't even know the questions. We can't see the whole from our very limited perspective.

Galactic_bodhi: Okay. Not everybody believes in karma or reincarnation. But almost everyone here is a closet romantic, and believes that somewhere out there is "The One".
Lately, from my own religious perspective, I've begun to think that while soul-mates may or may not exist, we do encounter certain people over and over in our journey from birth to death, and back around, and that we are tied together with these people by a web of Karma that stretches back and forward into infinity.
Have you ever met someone you constantly experience deja-vu around? Do you look at their face and see foreign cities you've never been to,at least in this lifetime, and have vague impressions at the edge of your memory of events and conversations with or regarding these people?
Anyone? The floor is now open...

i almost always have vague impressions when talking to more or less special people...but this rather confuses me than helps
I rarely can clearly define what these impressions are about and when i can do it, i have to keep it to myself coz nobody would understand what's going on in my mind

Can anyone understand what's going on in someone's mind, especially the minds owner?
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most. If you find it, don't touch it! You don't know where its been...
