Hi there!
So, I would like to notice, that I used to be skeptical to the idea of reincarnation. I was raised in Atheist family, later I met some Fundamentalist Christians, but now I can say that I'm looking for some spirituality. I believe in God and Jesus as God, but I discovered that 99% of contemporary churches have very little common with Jesus's teachings.
But coming back to the main topic. I'm still confused because when I was 15, I used to meditate. One day during the meditation I saw something what could be my previous life. I was sure that I was there, in some Polish small town in the inter-war period (1918-1939). I saw myself as Jewish woman, living in simple wooden house in Pinsk, which is now in Belarus. My room hadn't a lot of things, only just for surviving and I saw myself switching on kerosene lamp, because in my home there was no electricity. I found my life poor but happy. I died somewhere in the 1930's, before the war.
Last time I suppose that I could be also Roma (Gypsy) woman or man. When I was little girl, I was fascinated by Roma people. I always dreamed about trips and longer travels. I love dogs and when I was younger I adopter a dog from the street. During my studies at the university I wrote some essays and works about the Roma people and I knew that for Roma people dogs were saint animals.
Some traits in my current life are similar to Roma and Jewish people in the history: I don't have full-time job and I often feel discriminated (as a queer woman, woman in general and disabled woman). Since my childhood I used to care a lot about people who were somewhat different than average. My best friends were and are mostly people with disabilities or foreigners.
I think also about something strange. My mum told me one day that she is afraid of female genital mutilation and always when she read about this practice she is scared. In our country there is no FGM and in our culture there is no this practice. But my mum told me that she sometimes feel that she lived in past in region where these things are done to the girls.
I don't know what to think about it.
