I spent from 2PM-5:30 PM today watching Toy Story 1 and 2 with my two angels. Man...that was tough..I fell asleep during the middle of part 2. Then I had to rush my 4 year old to a birthday party as soon as I got out of the theater!! Boy, this OP has no idea!!
I believe if you examine your emotions and feelings deeply about certain things. You'll notice, like the tides of the ocean coming in and out, there is an undercurrent far and deep below..that moves in a completely different direction, so too, are deeper feelings and emotions that are far removed from your current life experiences. I think with practice and focus, a person can figure-out some of this stuff out to confirm for themselves the validity of this topic!!

I am just exploring this aspect of our being. But I do believe there is something to reincarnation..in fact it's written in the bible, people just refuse to see it. I don't think either of you are crazy and wish more people could experience something also to open their minds.
I too have had some childhood experiences where I would wake up my father at 3AM crying and screaming that someone is trying to kill him. He has also caught me in the middle of the night sleep dragging(like walking) around the floor, when asked what I was doing...I replied..I am wounded and need to seek safety, remembering nothing the next morning...this happened over and over many times. Why would a child drag himself around the house wounded seeking safety unconsciously?
In fact all religions will tell you that the soul is eternal, so time as we know it does not really exist..and who is to say we do not exist in alternate realities all at the same time. Slowly even science is starting to catch up with all these theories.
I think there are also reasons why we are attracted or prefer certain eras in history!
Here is food for thought: I love a battle. I love to be in battle. For some reason, I love movies or anything to do with the dark ages. I really like swords, even though I have never owned one...or took it's practice in a martial art. Why do I avoid swords even though I really like then allot? Why am I afraid that if I put one in my had I will really enjoying using and practicing it? Why is it that I do not fear death and would go straight into battle with no thought for dieing as long as it was for the right cause? I can go on for many pages!!
RE: do you believe in karma?
