Reincarnation...What Are Your Thoughts On This?

racial memory noun Psychology.
feelings, patterns of thought, and fragments of experience that have been transmitted from generation to generation in all humans and have deeply influenced the mind and behavior.

The above is what is written about memories surviving from one generation. You can choose whatever spin to it you like. Even to a guardian angel. My take on it is something someone , maybe your very own subconscious is communicating. I have learned through the years that paying some attention to it, I learned a long time ago to pay attention to feelings.
Unfortunately there are people that fear things like this, after several incidents involving others I kept it to myself.
Aha...another one... Yes I will have another cup of coffee.

I've always felt that i have lived before, in another life. A few things lead me to believe this. First, i have always, as long as i can remember, had a flash of myself, with 2 other women, i think we were all sisters. Anyway, i see us walking along somewhere, perhaps a busy street downtown, or something, and in New York. This is all i have of this, but as well, i would have these weird dreams when younger, of being in a huge body of black water, (obviously night-time) and calling out for help. Sometime about 10 years ago, i started searching information about the Titanic and it's fate. I had always been fascinated by it, for some strange reason. As soon as i discovered about it, the dreams stopped. Odd! And, i've always been afraid to swim, never learned. As well, i think that whatever your fear in this life, has something to do with a past life. In this life, strangely enough, i felt as though my mother and my aunt were connected to me in my past life somehow....maybe we were sisters? Well short of sounding off the wall, so to speak, this is just my opinion. But, i also feel that the folks you come in contact with and meet, were somehow connected to you in a past life. As well, i've always felt a certain "connection" to the "Victorian Era", as i am very old-fashioned and love the furniture and other things from that era..Why is it we sometimes have a faint memory of a past life, or lives, just enough to make us wonder if we lived in another era and time?

I've had the same feeling visit me (on and off) throughout the years, which of course challenges my way of thinking related to life after death, etc.
 
Once I got some understanding of the way the brain works and how many different portions of the brain are required to do things such as seeing, hearing or speaking the idea of reincarnation didn't make sense to me. It also made me discount the idea of ghosts and other supernatural beings.
 
I do believe and I think we must keep coming back until we get it right. What comes after that is a bit hazy.

I absolutely believe in it. I have several stories as to why I do but I won't cover them all in one reply, maybe 2 or 3 each time. One of the most amazing stories of reincarnation is about this little boy who his parents figured out must've been a reincarnated navy fighter pilot who had died 6 decades before. Since he was a toddler, this little boy knew all about certain planes. He started having nightmares and told his parents he'd been in a fiery plane crash. He also knew extraordinary details about the fighter pilot's life. His fascinating story is featured here:
https://abcnews.go.com/Primetime/story?id=132381&page=1
A had read a story about an India girl who was 12 (I think). She began telling her parents about this place she used to live except she had never left her village in India. Finally her parents took her to this place (forgot where it was) and things were pretty much as she had described them. I can no longer find that news story.
 
I am a proud South Australian Aboriginal Elder and we believe that we come from
The Dreaming when we are born and we go back to The Dreaming when we die
Our Spirits stay with our biological family until another baby is born into which that spirit is received
My Full Blood Paternal Great Great Grandparents had a girl named Louisa who became my Great Grandmother
When she married my White Great Grandfather Louisa was pregnant with my Grampa
Louisa had 6 sons but no daughters and eventually died not long before I was born
I was the first girl born in our family for 50+ years and I look like her I sound like her
and I am heavily built like her except I am White
I believe Louisa is reincarnated in me and I'm fine with that
I have also had two 'out of body' experiences during lengthy surgeries and I can assure you
I am not a 'fruit cake' 😇

Thank you for sharing the beliefs which have been passed down to you. I've never learned about Australian Aboriginal beliefs. I always find it fascinating to learn about such things. I took a lot of cultural anthropology in college.
 
@peramangkelder Interesting! Your story reminds me of another example I planned to give regarding this subject. One of my great grand nieces actually scared my older brother when she was barely a toddler. He said she looked just like his mother (we have different mothers) and would look at him with a stern look his mother used to give him which freaked him out. Not only did she freak him out, she also scared the h*ll out of the big dog next door. The dog would stand by the fence, barking and carrying on such that he'd scare the bazoobas out of anyone who walked by. When she was about 2-1/2 or 3, whenever he saw my little niece approaching the house, my sister said he would yelp, turn tail and run up his steps until she got in her house. My sister said this happened every time...but he would still be out there barking and scaring others. He did not have that reaction to anyone else in my sister's household.

@OneEyedDiva that is really interesting albeit spooky but in a nice way
My Great Grandmother was born near a South Australian Government Waterhole on her Mother Catherine's Country
Louisa was born in 1865 near Sandy Creek Waterhole in Harrogate not far from where we live in the Adelaide Hills
The Government Waterholes were where the Aboriginal Mobs obtained their food rations ie. sugar, flour and salt
They also obtained tobacco and alcohol but that is another story....a sad story at times too
The first time I visited Sandy Creek Waterhole I had the distinct feeling I had been there before
It felt like I was coming home

I do. My grandson at around age 2 or so used to have nightmares about "his plane being shot down." He used words that he had no way of knowing at his age like "cockpit" and "eject." He was never allowed to watch anything on tv but cartoons and there was no Internet. One time my daughter called me and said that he got up that morning and asked for a poached egg. She was taken aback because she had never made him a poached egg in his 2 year old life. He said, "It's easy. Just make it in one of those little round things in a pan of water." She told me, "Mom, I don't even own an egg poacher!"
As much as I believe reincarnation is real, I truly hope it's not. I really don't want to be reborn into this world like it is now.
