I could not find a thread for this so I thought I'd start one. Here is a story I saw today.
There are some subjects that I enjoy reading those comments, but not about this subject as I know what to expect unfortunately.Did you read the user comments?
I don't know any universal truths about that, but considering how it has changed your path it would seem obvious. It is just going to take a bit of getting use to what you have learned I guess. I truly am sorry that it has been such a burden for you. I suppose it is difficult to both "own" a past life and yet realize it isn't really the current "you" - that it was merely a moment in your evolution, like a passing thought that you have now rejected.What's the point in being burdened with PL memories?
Did you read the user comments? Cuckoo, delusional and stuff. That's the barrage of attitudes that anyone who claims a past life seems to face. Is there any hope for us? What's the point in being burdened with PL memories? Just like one of her past lives I feel like a hermit since I remembered reincarnation. Marginalised.
Not every moment is dramatic and important, I mostly just remember people being people the same as they always were, even with the weight of conflict on them people are just people expressing and interacting as people do. The most revealing thing to me about PL memories is that the past was just normal, people living day to day just like nowadays. The thinking, fashions, technological developments and beliefs etc were different but people themselves haven't really changed, they just got used to different standards of living and different reasons to fight than modern man is used to. That's what my PL memories showed me, that the past was usually so normal.
Heh. I often "jokingly" reference reincarnation in whatever ways are socially acceptable. "We get along so well; I must have met you in a past life! Hahaha...." It's a good way to get a sense of the other person's reaction, and gives them a chance to join a gradually more serious conversation without having to initiate the topic themselves.On the other hand: a lot of people who joke around are in fact sensitive themselves. They only joke because it is their way of filtering their surroundings. Making (bad) jokes is just their way of 'testing' people, like a defense mechanism.
I was in class today all happy and talkative but then my teacher mentioned world war 2 very lightly and I was sad and quiet.Heh.

It's a good way to get a sense of the other person's reaction, and gives them a chance to join a gradually more serious conversation without having to initiate the topic themselves.

Never suggested you did, think none of us that are even remotely aware of it do, those that are oblivious make the jokes like they do about everything else that they don't understandCanSol, I assure you I never made a mockery of the concept or the real feelings and experiences people have. I don't think that anyone in this group would do such a thing. Merely, I, and likely others, make sarcastic comments or light-heatedly say "we must have met in a past life" or "how did you know that unless you were there in a past life?" For those uninitiated in the ways of reincarnation, it's just a conversational piece that has little weight, often earning a response of a smile or slightly uncomfortable laugh. But every now and then, the laughter is followed by a "hey, wait a minute..." Sometimes, there is no connection there, but it still will get someone to think. And sometimes it's a good way to find someone else who is open to the concept of reincarnation.
There are certain subjects that should NEVER be joked about, the holocaust directly being one of them, but for sake of honesty, I and many close friends made lots of Hitler jokes (did that back in WWII as well), there's a big difference between mocking AH and joking about the holocaust directlyWhenever my friend jokes about the Holocaust I get so angry and hit her. She says it's dark humor but I still get mad and try not to cry because none of my friends know about this but one.
People say "What have you got to be depressed about?" "PTSD is only for war veterans" "your lazy" and so on.
I'm glad PL knowledge has helped you with your depression, its had the opposite effect on me however. It is good to have clarity on my souls journey that's for sure. I just wish that same clarity was present in my feelings.
It is worth remembering past lives to remember those kinds of things, I just wish I hadn't learned that I'd been wrong in all of my lives. I view my lives very differently to how I initially did.
