We don't remember past lives because we're not supposed to. But sometimes we remember some things.
And I think that as the vibration on earth and of everything and everything on it rises, we will start remembering more and more.
I think today's young kids will remember quite a lot, or a lot easier than most of us do.
You can clearly tell when you look at young babies that they're wise souls. Old souls. Just look in their eyes. You gotta be blind to not see that. It's not as if a young soul is looking back at you, but a very wise, old person, in a baby's body. They look at you at an age that babies used to see nothing yet, just blurs. So they can really see much sooner too, and they look straight at you, and through you. I'm quite sure if they could talk, they could tell the shape, size and colour of your aura and what your qualities were etc etc.

I have seen flashes, and part of a previous life, and often know when something is caused by something that happened in a previous life.
And I've seen parts of other ppl's previous lives during readings I did for them.

Why we reincarnate? To learn and grow as a soul. Basically no different from going to school.
The information and wisdom we gather is transferred to our soul group, so with our individual growth, our soul group grows as well.

Jesus btw is an Ascended Master. At some point you don't have to go to elementary school no more (Earth) and you go to secondary school.
If I'm not mistaken, he's Sanat Kumara.

So, tell me how can I find out if I was a Buddhist monk in my previous birth. Is there any method like meditation which would help me know my previous life?

Everything I just read is utter fantasy. Firstly there is no proof that anyone has a soul, I do not believe I have a soul. And now back to biology. This little bit here where the brain clearly isn't is where your imaginary stupid soul is. Heart pumps blood and brain comes up with rubbish for the mouth to spew and corrupt other minds with mish mash jibber jabber. The facts are: We are born and know how to create life we know its possible as we've done it and can do it again and again. Then we die, we know that too and can do it and have seen it done. A soul, nope never found one of them on a living nor dead person. Look at technology and the way things are today. If a soul was an actually part of the human body do you think that by now we would know where it is, what it does etc etc Instead of coming up with Mystic and Magical Fantasies. May as well tell everyone to have a shortcut to a newer and better you and get everyone to commit suicide or better still take a few dozen pages out of some muslim extremists books. Oh I was reincarnated, I used to be a suicide bomber but I only worked one shift. Any reincarnation story i've ever heard has been oh I was a princess in a past life or I was a captain lieutenant of a platoon of men in a war back in the 17th century or I was Albert Einstein. No one who has been reincarnated was ever some low life scum growing up in manchester in the late 1800's who died at the age of 7 from poverty. Regardless of how detailed a story maybe about reincarnation it is just a magical mystic world. If you really like magic play Skyrim

not exactly true...maybe you should read up on it...http://mingle2.com/topic/428765

Awesome, Great STORY! I was hoping you actually had proof though and not stories. I actually remember that I was reincarnated. My old name was Dusnt Giv Ashit and I died building the Taj Mahal. I remember it so well, details right down to the colour of the buttons on the workmans shirts. I know every inch of their faces as swords ripped their heads from their shoulders from an invading army but we did not worry for we were going to be reincarnated into that army because if you can't beat them, join them. Anyway I thought I'd have a quick look at what Wiki says about Reincarnation and I find it fascinating that it is primarily an Indian Belief and that the story you used was about someone who died in India and was reincarnated in India. Coincidence? Also it is mentioned that in order to achieve reincarnation you require good karma, if I am not mistaken this just sounds like a religious form of control: Be Good and be born again, Be Bad and were going to have to spend time, effort and money to do something about it which we can't be bothered with. Sounds about right

So a child is born and they had a past life, but a child is born that didn't have a past life. So that one that didn't have a past life, where did their "soul" come from. Surely you can't create a soul but then where did the first soul come from? Surely everyone has been reincarnated again but people keep breeding so we need more to die so more can live or we just create more souless bodies that will eventually become a soul until they die and come back as jesus. Or like the story someone had decided that they could do with more attention being paid to the topic of reincarnation and came up with a fanatical story to get everyone to worship the afterlife. So lets all commit suicide simultaneously and see if anyone will somehow emerge from the human-less world to say I was reincarnated. So I am guessing by the topic of reincarnation that to some degree some of us were long long ago neanderthals that evolved over and over again until we became civilized misguided fools?

Sorry but I do like playing Devils Advocate because in truth I would want Reincarnation to occur but I just don't see how it would actually work. So you die and the thoughts locked inside your skull seep out into the ground and are carried by worms that are then eaten by birds and then the birds are on the kitchen table of a pregnant woman. Thus the memory lived on through other animals until it gets to a soon to be newborn? Even that, that I just made up just wouldn't work. If I can work out how it will work fundamentally, I will not believe it, nor stories about it. Do you believe in ghosts? The amount of films and documentaries about ghosts is enough to make anyone believe but if I was to time warp 500 years ago and mention that I had seen a ghost people would be like "what the **** is he on".

i think we are put here again and again b/c a: we agreed to it, and b: we were meant to either do or learn something we didn't get to do , or didn't get to learn the last time.

I understand these are the same reasons Buddha and some other Hindu sages have given for our rebirths.

Are you telling this from your information, understanding or extraordinary intuitions.

Worst case scenario is once you die, that's it, so live this life like it is your last. Or you could try convincing people that a better life exists after this one so what are we waiting for, the directions to nearest bridge?

I think there's books written on that, meaning, too much to just type here.
If you're interested in the subject, get involved in the spiritual world, get your intuitive development going. Learn to meditate, visualize, pay heed to your intuition so it can grow etc. etc. etc.
Being able to guide yourself back to previous lives, not sure if everyone can do that, depends on your erm ... 'abilities' so to speak. I've never deliberately done so myself.

The easiest way is to go to a reader and have him/her do it for ya. THere's plenty of different ways to go about it, just energy reading, Soul Response Therapy, or if you want to experience it yourself, hypnosis.

Also ask yourself why you want to know if you've been a Buddhist monk. Is this based on logical deduction? An ego thing, thinking you're better/higher etc if you were one? A gut instinct? What?

And lastly, it's best to at least learn to ground and shield yourself before you make any attempt to meditate etc. A proper grounding is SO important! Unfortunately it's the step most ppl skip, because they either don't know or don't understand its importance.
You can get in chit if you're not grounded and start doing energy work. And I think you're pretty stable, down to earth, but it is nice to know you can get yourself back into your body if you happen to leave it.

i'm not sure what anyone would consider proof of this, but it is hard to explain how a 5 year old kid can describe places and people they've never met or seen...

Thanks so much...

So one supposed actual event that only has written proof (reminds me of the bible) of its existence is more believable than the fact this is one occasion and supposedly everyone is reincarnated so why has this happened like never and why did it happen in India (the place where reincarnation was invented and their belief rates are the highest in the world) Doesn't Take A Genius to figure that out.

I have a long way to go for what, I want reincarnation to be an actual thing but know one can give me fundamentals just crap about 5 year old deluded girl that had her parents talk her to death about some girl they most definately know a lot about that died 150km away and made her out to be her reincarnated self because they desperately wanted to offload their child because the parent wanted rid of it because she secretly cheated on her fellow

Look up www.iisis.net and try to read all case studies of reincarnation documented by researchers.

Dr. Ian Stevenson, a Christian by birth and a non-believer in reincarnation, did 40 years of research and brought out 2500 cases where plausible evidence has been gathered on reincarnation.

it's always good to be skeptical, but as a scientific standpoint, it's really just as you say, mostly hearsay evidence and mysteries that cannot be explained by science at our currant level of understanding... same as ghosts, demons, gods and devils...

I will not believe anything to do with reincarnation that is media driven. I could create an accessible website of lies and hope, I want actual fundamentals of how it is possible. I flick a switch at home and the light comes on and I can understand how and why. Someone dies in New Zealand and then Reincarnated in Iceland is possible how? Besides If he was making money doing it he might have wanted to invent some of the research to guarantee a reward for his "effort".

Yea isn't it funny how God is like Good and Devil is like Evil if you barely play with the letters. Ghosts I've never believed in and I watched an influential documentary by Derrin Brown: Ghost Hunter. There is only one Demon, ourselves who provide and are provided with our own set of restrictions of body and mind

Just found out that Reincarnations fundamentals are quite simple: God LMFAO. That just about proves my point but what do you get when trying to help Blind people See. Should have been Dumb as well as Blind but technically they are just not Dumb of the Mouth

We can't understand everything as our brains are limited. You said you understand that light glows when you switch on...I bet you don't understand the nature of electrons that cause the energy to travel to the other side of the world in a second or the dual nature of quantum particles or how to measure their position and momentum at the same time...or the role of observer in quantum mechanics. But still they work.

As I said, we may think we are smart, but we still have a long way to go to understand this universe. I told you, you still have a very long way to go.

There is a lot I don't know but I don't need every single brain cell in the world to realize the obvious. You may or may not know the stuff about quantum mechanics etc but all I truly know is that the direction for the human race needs to move forward and not remain on the stalled line we so seemingly cling to because its nice and cosy. Thankfully there are a limited few people pulling us in the right direction. War and chaos is all I hear about and its all were wasting our time with all because a group of morons think suicide bombing is a fast ticket to paradise. I may have a long way to go but I am blessed with my mind and bodies restrictions. All I know is that if everyone was to shape the planet in their way then we would need 7billion+ different planets. Its about time we dropped religious idle chatter and actually did something beneficial that aids and improves the human race. We a far too selfish a species and to consider us "Civilised" is an absolute sham. There shouldn't be a world with a single poverished person whilst some ultra billionnaire is skinny dipping in his own private lake. The world needs much more balance yet and governments are only looking after themselves. The Illusion of control has us all living lives of hope that will drag on and on until eventually there is a breaking point and an uprising occurs. The more the government cut policing and army the more likely an uprising will succeed. I have cast some opinions of mine, nothing I have said is actually going to happen it is just how I see this biased world. We should be putting more effort into colonising other planets but America spends about 2500%** more money on their army than they do on space travel. **Thats a guess?
