"Past Life Residue" or "Mission"

Today I was reading about past life residue vs. your life mission and it made me think of the relationship difficulties I've had with my boyfriend. When we met there was that connection that you sometimes assume is a good thing; like it's destined that you two should be together. What I was reading talked about how sometimes the connections we feel to people or places or things are from past life residue and that they aren't necessarily pointing us toward future happiness. I guess the gist of what I read said that if you keep meeting stumbling blocks then that's the clue telling you that it's past life residue. On the other hand if what you are pursuing is being met with success then it's probably the right thing to be pursuing. Hmmm...Why didn't I read this sooner? I've been trying to work this relationship out for more than 5 years without much success.

 

i guess if you need an excuse for constantly dating assholes, then this is as good as any.

then again, why did you date so many assholes in your previous life?

 

If i want to cleanse my past life residue, when in the shower I simply roll back the foreskin

 

Enemas.

 

Past Life Clarifying Shampoo?

 

What are you talking about?

 

The better question would be why are any of you such assholes in your current lives?

 

I don't know about "past life residue," but I've read about how some Hindus believe that we are metaphysically connected to those we are closest to in life, and that those connections transcend physical death, and that we continue to know those people in the lives beyond the current one.

I often share thoughts with those I'm closest to, so for me personally, the idea of connections, perhaps from old lives, isn't that far out or bizarre.

 

Thanks for some decent discussion, Luna.

 

your post.

what group are you addressing here? men? i'd say it's a combination of nature, nurture, and because that's what women like.

 

What part of my original post caused you to believe that I'd dated a lot of assholes?

 

The reference I made was to the 3 of you who answered above with such silly, flippant answers.

 

eh, maybe you didn't actually say that. i think i've been conditioned by every other post in this forum.

 

Take it easy. I'm not a man-basher.

 

As for the bullshit responses, I would encourage all of you to find a thread to which you feel a connection and to contribute from your intelligence.

 

You would have had better responses if you had posted in New Age or something like that.

It's like when the conspiracy nut posts their nuttery outside of the Conspiracy forum, they're gonna get people poking fun.

No need to be butt-hurt. The 'flippant' and 'bullshit' remarks could have been way worse. We could have told you what we really think.

 

I would welcome honest discussion of what anyone "really" thinks on the subject. That's why I posted the topic.

 

i dont think immy was being offensive. his question comments were actually very reasonable and intellectually lodgical,cos you were sayin' how it might be because of past life residue.so it was a pretty easy assumption to make that you'd dated assholes before, or else he was just jokin' that you did in another life.i'm not sayin' ya did either,just that if you read your own post again and then immys ,it all makes lodgical sense his questions.an 5 years is a long time tryin' ta work somethin' out.if the glove dont fit,dont wear it.i also think that some people can be too easily influenced by what they read.like what i mean is! in your case for instance,what you read about that residue stuff, you are seeing as the reasons and the answers.when in reality if you look really deep inside your self the answer is already in your own questions.do you think maybe you are trying to change something you can't change?an why waste your life an time doin', that when you could be usin' all that extra spare time doin' happy stuff.and theres a clue in the word pursue also i think,cos pursueing something does'nt sound ta me like something thats coming naturally in life and what comes naturally in life is whats real.i hope you stop wasting lots of time in your life tryin' ta change someone else to fit in with your plans,instead of just accepting people the way they are with unconditional love and just not being with them if your not happy there in it.goodluck

 

The things you say, Roamy, make lots of sense. Relationships have periods of strife and that's natural. When occasional strife is a catalyst for positive growth it can be looked back upon as not too bad; when strife becomes more and more frequent and maybe even the central part of the relationship, it's usually time to walk away.

 

You can use self hypnosis to regress back to past lives and see if you did rely live a life with this guy. I will post more info if asked. desert rat
