Just out of curiosity, do any of you have memories of past lives? I don't really have memories, but I have issues that I came into life with, and sometimes I think that they're definitely connected to a past life.

I do have a incredible fascination with everything german, and I think I might have been a German peasant or something at one time. I also abhor alcohol, especially beer. I can literally smell it if it's elsewhere in the house. I have an unnatural loathing for it, and I keep wondering where it stems from? The only conclusion that I can come to, is that it's a holdover from a past life. I

Neither of my parents were not alcoholics at all.
They never did drugs at all either, and raised me not to drink nor do drugs, but I don't loathe drugs as much as I loathe alcohol. Same with smoking.

I also tend to overeat and all the things that are bad for me, it makes me wonder, did I starve in a previous life or something? I've always beent that way.

Anyway, just curious as to what your experiences are!

I think our intuition and inner voice, Higher Self, tries to protect us with these "weird" feelings we get either from location or a person we've just met. I usually listen to my intuition. It's a protective mechanism in some ways. When I get these intuitions, I stay on my guard, so to speak, and am more observant of everything.

there is plenty of good information posted in past life memories, perhaps some need to dwell into past lives which are no longer them as who we were is not who we are. Thus outworking oneself into the reality of being.Having been taught not to try to open past lives that one is sufficiently ready they will know.. Allowing self righteousness to be replaced by the Creators righteousnes, one gains more understanding and wisdom by receiving more truths to dispell the errors, thus cleansing the mind and having the precious heart in proper desire. to recieve from our magesties unlimited supply our needs and some of our wants ,gaining adoration and fellowship with the Creator and Creation. And recognizing where others are at and sharring accordingly. there are so mny precious ones advancing from the 6th root race for the next stage ( should I write it) from imperfect ira ( it looks like sone already know a little now)

Sarah, I don't have any past life memories as such though I have had a reading done which mentioned two past lives but the last one in great detail. Many, many things resonated with me from that life that I can still see in play in this one and there were so many similarities such as family size (i'm from a large family) interplay of family relations etc. It freaked me a little as in the last life I died literally a couple of years before being born in this one and left behind two children who are likely to still be alive now and that is a strange concept to get your head around. A further coincidence was that I died in the last life at the age of 41 after having had an operation on my stomach a day or two before and the reading advised that I would probably suffer from a lot of heartburn and indigestion in this life relating to this. I am now 40 and when I was 39 I had to have my gall bladder removed as I was suffering with so much pain in my stomach. Following the operation I discovered that there had been a complication during the operation though I did not ask what it was as I figured if it was anything I needed to know I would have been told.

I also once had a type of reading where a group of sat around and a lady communicated with our higher selves and told us each about a past life. As she went around the group of 8 of us I was 5th and as she told each one of their past life nothing resonated with me and I couldn't imagine what she would tell me. The lady before me looked quite matronly and middle-aged and when she got to her she said "Oh I've never had one of those before" and then told her she had once been a fairy. I expected her to say it was all rubbish but she said that she was fascinated with fairy and although she had no children of her own was always making up fairy stories for her little neices. When she got to me she said that I had been a witch in a previous life and I had lived in America. I have always felt a great pull towards New England and if I ever visited America that would be first on my list of places to go. Whether that means she was right and that was where I lived I don't know but if I ever go there perhaps I will remember something or feel that it is familiar.

Thank you for your response, Ira. I recently have gone through a spiritual awakening, after going through a deep deep depression, which there really wasn't rhyme or reason for. I came into this world as a very negative and fearful person, and I always wondered why I had some of these fears, and where they stemmed from. The only thing I can conclude is that they came from a past life. I grew up in a devout Mormon home, and was not abused physically or sexually whatsoever. My parents raised us right, although sometimes I had questions with their methods.

In order to heal myself in this life, I needed to come to terms with what happened in my past life. I believe after careful meditation that I was accused of being a witch and hung. For example I cannot wear turtlenecks at all, and I choke very easily. I have always been drawn to Salem, Mass. I also feel soul and spiritual renewal when I visit my Mother down on the coast.

I don't feel it is wrong to find out what happenend in a past life, if searching for the truth will help in self-acceptance. I'm not talking about self-rightousness. I'm talking about accepting what happened and being able to come to terms with it, and to erase any fears and negativity that spilled over into this life. I believe I needed to do that in order to accept Heavenly Father's love and to return his love, by loving myself and loving other people.

kindest regards,
Sarah

Thank you for your response!

I also believe I was accused of being a witch and hung, possibly in Salem. I've visited Salem before in my wild and wooly days, and I felt very drawn to it as well as to New England. Boston has always seemed like home to me. As well as the coast. Not the commercial type of coasts, but like the Oregon Coast where my mom lives currently, and with more of a rugged landscape. Whenever I visit my mom, I always feel my soul and spirit renewed.

I've down some meditations, and I remember my death at the gallows, but that's all I really remember. I do have a problem wearing turtlenecks, and certain necklaces like chokers. I also have a problem sometimes with choking. Water and other liquids always seem to be going down the wrong way.

Thanks again!

Interesting that you mention the issues with turtlenecks, necklaces and choking. I've always had the same issues, though I've been able to overcome them (mostly) as an adult. As a child I couldn't even wear a long necklace without feeling like I was being choked. I never thought to connect it with past life issues. Hmmm...
