Not to get all Shirley MacClain on you, but....
Whether or not you believe in past lives, IF you lived before, when, where, who...
I have an affinity for the 40's and a terror of heights and airplanes and tight spaces. I have thought that maybe I was a bomber pilot who went down in WW II.
When I went to Ireland, I felt a thrill of recognition. Maybe I was an Irish girl, wandering the fields of Donegal.

When I moved south, I felt so at home there I often thought I must have been a southern belle in another life (not that I actually believe in such.) Nothing seemed strange or unfamiliar there. Interesting.
And I, too, sooooo identify with the '40s, hence my favorite book--c'mon, people, you know what I'm talkin' about....that I have always thought, since reading it, that I was born in the wrong time. I wouldn't have been a Rosie the Riveter but I have always been the keep the home fires burning kind of girl, and 'use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without' is my mantra and I'm big on gardening and preserving and all that, too....Also I write really kick-ass letters. My first love came home from an 18 month stint in Okinawa with a FOOTLOCKER full of my letters.
Funny thing is, Griz would've been a '50s guy!

I don’t feel like I had a previous life. At least I don’t think I feel like that. Suddenly I’m not sure if I did or didn’t. I’m going into a trance – what’s happening to me? Oh my goodness, I see it now, I’m standing in front of an easel with a canvas on it and I’m painting a picture of a woman. I can hear myself talking…
Damn it, Mona Lisa, will you quit fidgeting, and wipe that silly grin off your face, you look like a dimwit… ah, that’s better.

I've been pondering this question, because I do feel hints of past lives. I don't know what I actually think about that, the way roges says he believes in reincarnation (and where the heck IS rog?). But I do think our immortal souls share some of our ancestors' souls, and that sometimes I have glimmers from a sort of pool of memory.
But then Mike starts channeling DaVinci and I'm laughing too hard to think anymore.

I find this topic quite profound. Maybe I'll be able to formulate a response, but it might take me a year or so.

I don't seem to have any past life resonance. There's plenty in my current life. And kind of like Zelig, or Forrest Gump, I seem to blend in and feel like I belong almost everywhere I go.
Except Little Rock, Arkansas, which was very weird; I clearly didn't belong there.

I am fuzzy about past lives. I don't think the idea is right or wrong, good or bad. And since I believe in the eternity of our souls, the idea has merit, imo. And if there's anyone here who doesn't know who* I think I must have been, if I could have been someone, then you must be new here AND not know me. *who, as in the sense of ethnicity, not a specific person |

And then I said to Custer... hey, George, we're surrounded, lets surrender!
