Here is my story:
Past Lives Part One
I have several friends and family members who I’ve felt strong connections with over the years. Sometimes we would jokingly say, “We must have been related in a past life,” but it has always been more of a passing comment rather than an intentional statement of fact. I found myself curious about past lives though, and continually wondering if there was anything to the past lives phenomenon. I was raised strict Seventh-Day-Adventist, so the possibility that there was anything to the theory of reincarnation felt strictly taboo. It was forbidden, not necessarily false.
One day my husband showed me a video online about a lady who had past-life memories as Anne Frank. Here is the link: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6323600618966598174# . I was very interested, because if she had actual memories then I was sure that there was a way for me to access actual past life memories as well.
We found another interesting story about a little boy with past life memories from world war two. Here is the link to that article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1209795/Reincarnated-Our-son-World-War-II-pilot-come-life.html . This story made me very curious about whether some of my interests, dreams, and night-mares had links to past-life experiences, as well as wondering how to find out more. I used the concept about names from both stories to conclude that my name was likely Karen in a past life – I never felt that I should be called by a different name as the lady who had past life memories as Anne Frank felt, and in the other story the little boy had past life memories with the same name as he currently has.
I couldn’t stop thinking about the idea, so I made up a list of things that I felt unexplainably attracted to. I then made a list of things that I was afraid of. I was thinking these might help me find a lead to myself in a past life. I had not yet heard of past life regression at the time, and I would probably not have tried it if I did hear about it because I wanted hard evidence.
the subject of past lives is a hard one for some to talk about because of the way we have been brought up as a whole here in amarica with the christian backgrounds that are so prevalent today. I think another reason that ast lives are hard to talk about is that not everyone has vivid if any memory of a past life. I think that the thing that made me realize the merit of the idea was realizing that there are so many people in our lives who we have an instant bond with and the feeling that we have known them forever. I know that when I am arround these people they bring out the feeling that this is not our first rodeo and it is through these interactions that I have found my past and memories of it.
