    Yes yes, old souls and past lives are completly true to me. I believe when you die you will be re-encarnated and that there are old souls and new souls. There has to be. I know I will probably get some people who disagree with this, but if you do, dont be mean about it, all I want is your opinion, be true, be kind, lets hear what you guys have to say on this opinion. Supposedly I am an old soul, it makes me wonder, who was I in my past life, I beleive I was a hippie in the 60's that overdosed or something on drugs, I dont know, something along the lines of that. [= Please please, I would like to hear what you have to say on this topic, just like I said, dont be rude about it, be kind and everything will be groovy. I love you all.

    Peace,
    Mariah

    I dont know if I believe in reincarnation - but I dont doubt it. Truth is, no one knows what happens after this life, so I try to take all possibilities in consideration.

    On that note, I, too, am an old soul. I felt like I was for a long time, but it really didnt resonate with me until I had much older people telling me that I was. It's like they saw something in me that reminded them of another time, or another person from another time. The older I get, the more positive I am that I was here before in another carnate.

    So, my old soul sister, maybe we met somewhere sometime before??:)

    You may be confusing the soul with the mind. :)

    evidence does keep popping up if you are paying attention. I was watching a show on some tiny old burg in holland and I KNEW what was around the next corner. It's no wonder its the most comman belief in the world

    I believe in reincarnation, too. Sometimes I get "vibes" about people and whether they have an old or young soul. I don't know about myself but I do believe my little sister (4 years old) has an old soul. I also suspect the same about my dog....

    This is what I've been looking for, for a long time. I think everyday about how I think I was a hippy back in the 60s and died during a protest or some kind of overdose. I feel that I am very attached to this era and there must be a reason. For as long as I can remember, I've known about the '60s. Way before any child would have. I was once called a hippy for the stupidest reason and I was so mad because I knew in some way that that was not what a hippy was. I was about 5 or 6 years old when this happened. There's no way a child would have known about hippies unless they were told and my parents NEVER mentioned a thing about hippies or the '60s.

    I don't remember anything and in a way I think that this is because my past life is now the past, its dead. Maybe the drugs got to me and now I can't remember. As someone said," If you remember the '60s, then you weren't there" but I guess that depends.

    Well...I believe in God and the Bible...but I am not sure if the Bible has been changed in anyway. I am not sure what I believe but I would like to know more about your belief. I get scared at times though thinking "Like what if when we die we just rot in the ground..." but yeah.

    yeah I don't think the bible has changed at all, despite the fact that it has been translated so many times. I also think the bible is correct to give permission to fathers to sell their unmarried daughters into slavery.

    I am a Christian, too, my friend. But you must take into consideration that the Bible has been edited many times.....mostly from rich white males. I believe that the word of christ is true.....but one must "read between the lines"...(I follow my gut, and my gut's never wrong)

    what i am excited about reading is the "lost" books of the Bible...like the book of Thomas and the book of Judas.....and i think that Mary Magdalene has a book as well.......and studying Gnostic Christianity(the most unchanged form of the faith)

    point is (im getting off topic) we dont know what happens when we pass.... there are sects of christianity that beleives that we lie in the ground (in limbo) until the second coming. and there are those who believe that we go straigh to heaven. well, what if our souls travel through several entities before we reach heaven (or nirvana, or paradise)? It's not really said in the Bible that this is the only life on this earth.......

    but it tells us how to live it in this life.....

    Dudes....I had a dream that I was looking up at a subway station and it looked and felt like it was about 1968. That year just kept on being repeated in mt head in the dream. I know that train station because I take it home all the time. Could it have been a flashback or me just dreaming shit up?

    A healer and teacher that I know says that we go through many, many lifetimes before we can reach heaven (union with God). He describes life here in the physical as a learning process, and it might take someone several lifetimes to learn a single lesson, such as don't steal.

    I don't know, I wouldn't want to promote reincarnation since I don't know for sure myself. It could be we have one life to figure this thing out, but I can never understand how that could be fair to children and teenagers who die.

    I guess my main point is to say, live like you only have one life! Don't waste time!!

    Dolly,

    I don't know a whole lot about the gnostics, but I know they believe that the God of the bible is unaware of his status as merely a local demiurge, and the true creator of the universe is a goddess named Sophia.

    It just seems a pretty drastically different perspective from the New Testament is all I'm saying. It's possible that it's what Jesus originally taught, but it's quite different from the bible we have with us now, so you'll have to discover for yourself who to trust.

    everyone thinks I'm weird for this, but I strongly believe that I may have been in vietnam, died there or just went there or I don't know, I just feel a very strong connection to that whole "conflict" and I have a whole lot of empathy for vietnam vets.
    but who knows, it could all just be in our heads.
    and that is the beauty of it.
    peace :)

    I think I might have been a hippy in a past life and now I'm a techno hippy. :) If reincarnation is true then I had to be a yogi in a past life.
