Past Life Regression

I’ve experienced déjà vu before but I’ve been told by a neurologist that it has something to do with the speed our brain processes information.

If you observe nature, everything seems organised with mathematical precision. Have you noticed how flowers are designed to attract just the right insects? Therefore it seems logical to assume that our existence is also planned and not totally random.

On the contrary, over the millennia, the flowers that have attracted insects thrive, insects that learn the best flowers to visit thrive. Animals that change randomly and gain an advantage will thrive... we are all the product of millions of years of random and unpredictable change.

Nobody planned our existence, because there is nobody to do it.
 

On the topic of planner or none, how do you analyze the existence of the Fibonacci sequence in, say, a pine cone and a sunflower blossom? Is that evidence of blind dumb luck?
 
I guess you can't have reincarnation without God, can you. But, does the fact that we can't explain something prove that God exists? If so, He must exist because there is still a lot we can't explain. On the other hand, ancient people couldn't explain much of anything, so they attributed most everything to spirits or gods. Now, we know a few things like why the sun shines and rain falls. Maybe some day we can explain pine cones. Who knows? Or, maybe God is just teasing us.

I promise, this is my last post on this topic. I hope I didn't offend anybody.

If we each live several lives and each has a different purpose, surely that makes sense of it all? Otherwise life is extremely unfair!

Exactly. Life is extremely unfair. Its unfairness provides absolutely no evidence about reincarnation, one way or the other. It's just "unfair."

Reincarnation is a wishful fantasy. People don't like to think we get only one shot at living, and when it's over it's over, so lots of them eagerly jump onto any theoretical bandwagon that comes along. But it's still all just fantasy. And that includes heaven, hell, reincarnation, nirvana, and all the rest.
 
It would seem that those who believe in re-incarnation are steadfast and nothing will change their minds.....ditto those who believe we have just one life.
I could tell you about my own experiences but I know it would fall on deaf ears so won't waste my time.
 
Take a look at the Edgar Cayce readings...he gave over 14,000 readings and was proven over 99% correct in the "physical" readings he gave to people, some of whom were famous folks.

He gave health readings, and "life readings". Reincarnation is built into our existence. Its not harder to be born more than once...after all, we did it once, didn't we?
 
Rosemarie, please waste my time. It seems to me that both of the dogmatic extremes you speak of ignore the obvious fact that we don’t know. I, for one, want to learn from those of you who have had extra normal experiences.

Ok, Sasha, what do you want to hear? Like maybe what's it like to remember something from a past life and "just know" its not your imagination? To have verified paranormal experiences? Also lets remember, looking at this life, you are not the person now you were many years ago and if you take a magnifying glass to your life, you'll probably see that every decade or two offered up a major "shift" in your consciousness.

For instance, your childhood/puberty might seem like one "life" and then your 20's/30's another passage and so forth. So you can also think of reincarnation as another group of life "experiences" that go together to make you what you are today in consciousness. As, we are the sum total of everything we've ever been. Energy. Believing in it doesn't make it happen. If I tell you, "hey, you have a cement block tied on a rope above your head and someone is sawing the rope" and you don't believe it, well it doesn't mean you going to escape the cement block if and when it drops.. Gravity does take its toll - its a force of nature like so many others. It is what it is.

We're a work in progress...lol.
 
I don't have any past life memories but I do wonder about it. In a way it would be cruel because we probably loved others parents, children ,spouses ,friends etc. Now in this life the same thing would happen when we die. I think the trauma of one lifetime is enough to handle.
 
Does anyone else here remember the book and movie of the 50's, The Search For Bridey Murphy? A woman in Virginia was hypnotized and taken back to her childhood, then one step further back, when she began speaking with an Irish accent and describing her life as a kid named Bridey Murphy in 19th century Ireland, complete with many details. She would have had no way of knowing about these things.

It was very convincing, and there were endless discussions and much analysis; of course, the book became a best seller. Further research revealed where most of her "memories" probably came from (her own life, of course; there was no such person as Bridey Murphy).

Buddhism alert: do I remember correctly that one of the purposes of reincarnation is to teach the soul to rise above emotion? And that we often choose to be reincarnated among the same souls in different guises?

Souls travel in cycles and "groups". You could be one person's father in a lifetime and a son in another. Ditto for mother, sister or child. Each life is entered into to learn a lesson. I've got several past life memories and there are accredited people who can do past life regression if you really have issues that trouble you in this lifetime. Just hearing yourself explain "why" can be so empowering. Of course if you are a closed minded person and not open to the possibility of anything other than what you are now...hey, don't bother.
 
I believe in past lives. Consider myself an old soul and believe this is my final life. I have done a lot of reading and researching past lives, etc. We are all perfecting our souls. My journey is different than yours. People come in and out of our lives for different reasons and staying for different reasons and seasons. Just my opinion and not open for debate. I respect your journey.

Agreecompletely!!
 
If there is reincarnation, I'd prefer to be reborn in a more advanced planet--in a good way. Just don't want to be cattle to the alien form of life there--prefer they be vegetarians. Who says we have to be reborn as human species? Would earth be the only option if there is reincarnation? Lots of questions.
 
I’ve often had otherwise enlightening conversations with people who believe that souls exist only in human beings, a concept alien to my thinking.

Right now we have an elderly cat who is teaching herself how to be blind; another of the cats looked her in the eye after being tripped over. 2nd cat’s eyes widened and she literally ran to the opposite side of the yard. My point is that something other than fear of claw propelled that cat.
 
If reincarnation is real, I've got a lot more cycles in front of me because I'm a total newbie at life - this is obviously my first time around.

What do I believe about reincarnation and life after death? Depends what day it is. I really don't know for sure, and IMHO neither does anyone else.
 
I have always had a curiosity about the paranormal. Not sure if Past Life Regression can be included in that topic, but it is the closed I can think of. I have an Aunt who always believed in reincarnation. Did she belive she was, I do not think so. But she and I discussed it often, just in general terms. I think that is where I got my interest in the topic.
I have never met anyone who believes they are reincarnated, but that does not mean it does not exist. It is a serious topic to many, and I would not mind being involved in such a discussion.
