A Few Questions?

Hello,
I am new to this forum, as I made this account for this thread specific-, hoping to get answers...

I have always felt, since I was a child, that I am an Old Soul. I've often been told this as I grew up, by many people. Including strangers.
Prior to being told such, when I was about six year old, I told my Mom and Dad (I believe it was when I asked what is before life. I know many children ask 'what is after death?' . However, I recall asking my Mom, 'what is before life?' . I remembered and reflected upon this memory just a few years ago, and I found of strange (the manner of which I asked).
I went on as a child to say "I think I've been here before..."
I was always quite positive about this, but as I've gotten older, I am fairly certain that I've had many last lives.
There has not been any specific memory-based evidence of this, but I have always trusted what I feel about it.
I have been told "you seem like an old soul!" at least 30+ times, by people online (game websites as a tween/teen), from people in the town I live in, to people from other states/cities in our neighborhood.
Being I am 21 years old now, I've always felt much older.
When I was 7, up to... Well... Even now; I always felt very out of place. Not an outcast, but just not like other kids my age. I have truly felt much older my whole life. It can be a blessing and a curse.


Thank you for reading, if you've made it this far.
I've got a few questions for those of you who can answer them for me :)
I understand that none of us have the answers to everything, everything is still quite a mystery as to our psychical existence. But I am open to any concepts, ideas, or opinions. I'm very interested in comparing ideas I had already, to what others think :)

Is it possible for you to reincarnate into the same decade? Assuming time is irrelevant in a way, is it possible to be born in the 1990's in two different lifetimes?



Also, I was born in 1996, could I have been born (in the past) around... Let's say... 1400, 1600, 1800 as well as the 1900? Just as examples for the sake of discussion.
Just curious about any logic as to why we're born into the years/decades that we are born into.
 
Welcome

How do you define "reincarnated in the same decade"?
If you mean you died in the early years and reincarnated a few years later than that's definately possible, but born and reincarnated in the decade that's going to be difficult unless you died as an infant/toddler

Having lived in various centuries is definately possible
I for example lived in the Roman era, the 1700's, the 1800's and various times in the 1900's

As to logic in reincarnation, only Creator knows
I'm a warrior soul so I'm born in times before conflict to fight, that's the only common theme in my lives
 
Welcome to the forum, your early experience is very close to mine at about that age which is still pretty clear to me yet.

As for your question about two physical experiences within a decade, there are two other possibilities that I can think of beyond what CanSol has posted. Here is a link to a short story by Andy Weir that you might find interesting, and there are reports/thoughts that the soul (which is energy of some sort) is divisible which would allow multiple "personalities" to co-exist.

There are several "soul age" tests and descriptions on the internet, I am not sure about how credible any of them however. Do a search on some of your questions here on the forum, I think that you will find interesting reading.

It seems that time and space are specific to the physical plane, and this helps us practice and learn how to master our thoughts. Our thoughts create our reality, but much slower than on the non-physical planes, which are instantaneously thought responsive, and where, if you can't master your thoughts, your reality spirals out of control.

Hence, our incarnations don't follow a physical timeline. Our previous past lives could have been anytime in the physical past or physical future, and the same applies to our next incarnations.

Even more, our non-physical selves are multidimensional entities that pyramid up, so depending of the level we're considering to be "us", it is possible that several of "our" incarnations to be physically contemporary. We can speculate that at the top, the we of now, the we of all the physical past, and the we of all the physical future are incarnations originated from the same non-physical entity.

Mind bending ...

Hello!
Nice to meet you.

I'm sorry, here is what I meant-
Example:
Born in 1990 died approx 2050
Later, after that life, I possibly decided to come back and be born again, a second time, in 1996, instead of 1990, and live however long.

Is it possible to reincarnate back and forth in time, or do you think the souls have to follow a timeline. Once the world has exceeded 2018, do you think " future" souls in our time (llayer in, say, 2026?) Can do back and be born in 2018, even though we wouldn't know it, as we have already lived that time?

Kind of toying with the idea of time travel, I suppose. Because if the past was currently changing, we probably wouldn't know .

That was a bit syfy I guess, not super important haha :)
Just curious. Its cool to see people here that I can theorize along with .

Hello, nice to meet you!

Thank you for the info.
I will have to read about your experience, I love hearing other's stories.
Sometimes when I'm first trying to gather my hypothesises and evidence together (I journal a lot!) and I start compiling the final "here's what I think and here's what I know" about myself, I tend to question myself about these things, a lot. Its easy to question things we cannot prove on a psychical level, isn't it?

I took the test you sent, I may look for a few more to find the common response between many.
Here was my result the very first time, and somehow, I kind of expected so haha :)

The past is the past, I for one wish it could be changed so some events would never have happened in this life
I'm not sure if you read my log but I have lived 2 times where I was 2 seperate persons literally halfway around the world from the other but I wasn't going to bring that option on the table unless someone opened the door first
I've struggled to accept those 2 lives since it was hard to understand how it was possible to live twice in the same lifetime but after some searching I found out that it's quite possible and some even reported 4 to 5 similtanious lives, now THAT's confusing....

That does sound confusing!
You're one of the special ones, that you were granted that ability. God must think much of you! :)

You're never given more than you can handle, that's my thought. That doesn't make life easier, but its comforting. At least for me.

I wish you good luck and blessings with your many lives. That's pretty cool!
 
Hi CanSol:

Interesting site. I skimmed the "Warrior" materials, which seemed to be on-point, at least in terms of my own limited knowledge and insights. Then I jumped over to the soul age sections which were, IMO, more than a bit muddled. (This was a fairly brief skim, but that is at least my initial impression). In those sections I found several references to the "Michael" materials by the author, who apparently considered these to be authoritative and used these (to some degree) as his source. Not knowing the author, and being a bit suspicious of channeled materials myself, I have to wonder why these materials should be considered authoritative. And, if so, which parts of the presentation came from "Michael" and which from the author (whose basis for expounding on these matters is also not explained).

I'm not trying to be a pain, I'm truly interested in finding reliable sites and information. As you know, the internet is filled with "wisdom" sites, and it is very difficult to evaluate who is actually presenting things as they are, and who is simply giving their own individual opinions and viewpoints (and why one should consider the latter to be more authoritative than an opposing viewpoint). One thing they (almost) all have in common--aside from the fact that they are often contradictory--is a tendency to represent their own viewpoints as THE TRUTH or the INSIDE TRACK.

Cordially,
S&S

PS--Some folks are good with channeled materials. E.g., Baro-san seems to like the materials derived from "Seth" and others may have their favorites. OTOH, I have no idea how much agreement there is between Seth and Michael, and where they might differ, nor do I have a lot of faith in this type of source myself. So, this is the kind of question I have to ask.

PPS--I have a tendency to think that the author may have presented some things from "Michael" to suit his own particular prejudices. Some seemed to be fairly straightforward and jived with other things I have read. Others seemed to reflect the author's own particular cultural/political prejudices.
 
I mainly used the site for the description and basics of different soul types, one can study more after that if he or she desires to do so but then has an idea of what to look for
The soul age section was a bit jumbled to me as well but as a general overview to explain the basics it's ok, beats making endless long posts for explaining things on here
 
Hi CanSol,

Thanks again for the link. I also found the soul type section interesting, partly because I had never seen a clear attempt at categorization, though certainly aware that people fell into certain "types". Also, my first reading of a section (on warriors) jived with things I had observed and did not raise any "red" flags. I'm going to spend some serious time there trying to understand the presentation. There are lots of terms being introduced that I am not familiar with, so it is obvious there is some background material to absorb in order to make the presentation more accessible.

Cordially,
S&S

PS--An old country saying I've heard: Eat the fish and spit out the bones. I.e., almost everything in life is a mixture of both. I like a technical phrase I heard once: Signal to noise ratio, which is useful accurate information in proportion to static and error. I'm always looking for sites/sources with a high signal to noise ratio.

There is always plenty of talk about warriors.. who they are and what they are.. In a military sense there is a huge difference between being a warrior and a true warrior.. True warriors have many abilities other than talked about in the link..just one.true warriors talk about what is the most important thing to them... there purpose... I don't see much of that talked about here..They are not self centered about themselves and rarely talk about themselves .. its all about there purpose.. that's just one thing that makes a true warrior

S&S... What you seek is nowhere to be found.. We have talked about this before..beliefs that are based upon the writings of others guide you onto many wrong paths.. down many rabbit holes..Its good to see you are not seeking out confirmations of you own beliefs..but you may still have restrictions because of your core beliefs..I have said this before.. but it is the truth.. nothing will be given to you.. you must earn it.. you earn your strips by connecting with your spiritual self through meditations and then you are guided to some answers.. not many.. but some.. That is where what you seek is.. not in the writings of others ... spend your time developing these skills not searching for things that are not there.. If that is to hard for you... then this time is not the time for you

Regards
 
There is a risk, for all of us (I think), that we say to each other, "My experience of a path is truth, so therefore your differing experience and process must not be true."

However, I think it is more likely that there is a vastly complex universe of interwoven truth-ways through which we all journey, each discovering signposts or markers to a destination within that landscape ... or perhaps less a destination than a shifting point that may allow each of our deeper selves to eventually grow wide enough to accept more than one pathway through Truth without shattering at the size of the landscape thus encompassed.

I sometimes think our discussions on this side of mortality are like those of the mathematician vs. the poet, should both feel certain that their formal education, necessary insights, and progress toward excellence is the only form of true education or insight possible. In the end, they are attaining mastery in different skills which are not exclusive of each other in any way, but the challenges to each other's "true wisdom" are unanswerable (aside from awareness that there is more than one path) due to the differences between the types of information and validation each accepts as necessary and important in order to succeed at their calling.

Hi Mere Dreamer All of what you said is right... the point I was trying to make was...you can go searching and read the beliefs of lets say 100 people..but only one of them this right... so how do you know to only believe that one person and disregard the other 99.. its impossible... what most do is.. they tend to believe what best suits there own beliefs.. But when you meditate and are in contact with your spiritual self and he communicates something to you.. then there is no doubt.. that is the truth .. As I said.. S&S is looking for something that is not there.. well it is there in that one in 100 it may be as bad as one in 1000 I don't know.. but its not there in a way for you to know its there

Regards
 
I see what you're saying.

From my perspective the "one" who does the sorting of information so we know which one of the 1000 options fits our paths actually is the spiritual self ... for everyone. That's where the "Yes, this is right!" feeling comes from when people read or study other's experiences. Even if sometimes the person doesn't think of that intuitive awareness as coming from outside themselves, it's still the way we discover what might be of value to us in life.

The spiritual self is a personal and immediate connection to truth at the root of our spiritual awareness more than any other form of education. Instead of fighting with our methods of learning, it still acts as the information filter for each of us even when we don't know we have a built in filter for the deluge of information out there. And that filter is progressive. It takes us gradually from where we are now to where we are heading. Eventually most of us who actively listen to that filter learn how to connect more directly and there is less need to sort through what others have experienced in order to understand one's own path.

Going back to the "Old Soul" and "Variable Time" elements of this discussion, I think that we don't have a human framework that fits the perspective of the spiritual self, so we often struggle with how it gathers and shares information in just the way it does. Some of what we learn from that source seems impossible in light of modern assumptions of how the universe works, and when we're deeply connected to the spiritual self without necessarily having an explanation for what that connection is, we often behave in ways that less connected humans see as odd. Thus we have "Old Souls" (not so much due to "age" as consciousness, really). This also results in people realizing that time might not function in quite the same way from the perspective of spirit as it does from here, in a similar way that a conscious dot on a piece of paper would be confused by our 3D perspective of the world, even knowing from the evidence that there must be a way to fold space in ways it can't accomplish from within the paper.

Edited for clarity

Mere Dreamer you explained it perfectly far better that I could ever have.. This post should be put somewhere were everyone can see and read it and all new comers to the forum can read it and get some understanding of what is going on and whats its all about

All the best see Ya
 
Hi John,

I started a response to your query that went very much along the line of Mere's first two paragraphs above. However, it was perhaps a bit more impatient in tone. You have said things like this to me many times. Your comments seem to be based on the assumption that everyone else here (or perhaps me alone) are trying to sift through mountains of information without any inner guide to what is true and what is not. This is not correct. From what I can tell, everyone here (including myself) comes to the process with the benefit of instincts and intuitions honed in prior experiences and wisdom gathered by our deepest self (are spiritual self) both in and out of physical existence. I have no idea how my meditation practices differ from yours, as I don't fully understand yours. However, I meditate as well as pray and read. I have had strong instincts and intuitions about whether certain things are true or not true throughout my life. Others have the same.

It is true that not everyone's intuitions and instincts are ultimately correct. The beings that we are at our deepest level have differing levels of wisdom and experience gathered in different lifetimes with different life experiences, as well as quite possibly different experiences between lives. In addition, some have the benefit of additional millennia of experience and/or special educational experiences (such as you may have had in Ancient Egypt). Likewise, and most importantly from my standpoint, there are differing levels of connectedness to the ultimate fount of wisdom and knowledge which I call God. However, you can rest assured that I am not operating completely in the dark.

Whether you are operating with more light overall is a question to me. You seem to have more light in some areas, but less in others. However, I think that is true for all of us because of our differing experiences through multiple lifetimes and differing levels of connection to the Source of all. Either way, I always read your posts with interest and with hope of learning something worthwhile.

Cordially,
S&S
 
I am reminded of a group of people, an artist, a mathematician, a politician, an accountant, and a poet, trying to decide how to define beauty!
 
The real point of what I talk about is still being missed..Mere Dreamer I felt implied it..All of this that is being talked about can only work in a proper manner if you have the ability to meditate with your spiritual self in a proper manner..that is how a very real and close connections happens that allows you to do all of what is being talked about in completely different and proper way .. If you do not have this close/proper connection then all of the questions being asked are asked.. that's how I know by what questions are asked..The trouble is you need to have this connection to understand what I'm talking about.. I'm not saying I'm better than anyone else.. I'm trying to explain what needs to be done to have this connection that will among other things truly edit out everything that is not right.. there is no comparison between having a gut feeling and being guided by your spiritual self.. its much the same as defining the difference between imagined memories and real memories .. its almost impossible in many instances unless you have trained yourself how to overcome it through your spiritual self.. I'm tired of talking about this and I don't care if anyone takes notice or not..
