Desired looks?

In my next life I really want my next-life body to "look" a certain way. But is it true that to our Higher Self or Higher Consciousness the physical aspects of our next body don't really matter and don't have a factor in the decisions our spirit makes regarding our next life?

I ask because someone elsewhere with whom i discussed this with tells me it doesn't but I don't care about any Higher or Divine Consciousness or understanding or whatever it is; I don't care whether I'm in human form, spirit form, or whatever else... and if I sound very bombastic and passionate about this kind of thing is because it's my dream and a very deep desire that I hold near and dear to my heart. Or maybe it might matter after all if I feel this way about it?

As far as I experienced during life between lives regressions, when you die you wake up to another you than the one you are now. You'll have some memory of this you, but what you think and wish now will not seem that important. It is similar to the way you care now about the thoughts and wishes of the you in your dreams.

Hi,

What I could see in some experiences is that each of us has, so to speak, a dual personality: on one hand our Higher Self, who is a powerful and a very elevated, divine version of ourselves, and on the other hand our human version, the conscious mind, who has a genetic heritage and has been shaped by many factors (family, environment, education, studies, jobs, experience, etc., etc.).

Our subconscious mind in many aspects still is a mistery for science.

It is said that there are other bodies (astral, mental, emotional, causal, desires, mental, etc).

Most probably, if before leaving this plane you had a strong desire as to your next body shaping, you may see it fulfilled even though it might be in exchange for anything else.

Cordially,

I think you do have a choice over how your next body looks, but it's within certain parameters. I think our soul carries and imprint we can't change and that's also distorted by genes, what our parents look like, race, gender ect.

I really liked my last body and I'm really attached to it still. Even though my race and gender are different, you can still tell it's "me", even though it doesn't look 100% like me. I've had relatively little change in parents though, over several life times.

I'm curious how someone's body has changed from life to life who doesn't have the same parents or family. I've found a soul group member and while we share different families ect, we share similar facial features. So I suppose on that level too, there is shared looks..

But yes, I think you have choice, but you have to chose from within a set of choices.

Your appearance could have an actual purpose regarding your soul's journey for a specific lifetime. but otherwise it's kind of like choosing your job ahead of time. Like Totoro said, it's a choice within choices.

Personally, I've been more fond of my past selves' bodies than of my own current one.

I think that the need for the life time is part of the choice.. will this body help you accomplish your goals or help you learn or experience what you want to?

That's all part of the decision making process.

I don't really care about every specific little detail of my body, really. As long as I can be a half-Black, half-Asian female with large breasts, broad hips, and 5'3, I'm good... and I'd prefer not to delve into those preferences much further.

As you're set on this, pass your wish and the intensity of it (no explanation is necessary) directly to your subconscious (in an altered state of consciousness, e.g. (self-)hypnosis), where it will last through your physical death.

I didn't choose my hair color, eye color, or skin color, but I could guess some things when I saw my parents, the environment where I would live, and the country where I would be born. You know, there are stereotypes everywhere, basically you have an overview of your body.

In my experience it was like that. Before I had an overview of my body, I went to visit my parents and grandparents. None of them had blue eyes. My mother was blonde, my father had brown eyes. My grandmother had brown eyes. My grandfather had brown eyes. In my case, I guessed what my body would be like looking at my family's bodies.

I said okay, my whole family has brown eyes, dark hair, and pale skin. I will be born with a similar body. So far I still feel strange. I was blonde and my eyes were blue in many past lives.

I don't know if that happens with everyone, but in experience about choosing a body... I didn't choose my body, but I jumped to conclusions. So, you could look at parents or a family that might be compatible with your desired body. The environment, biology and all that plays an important role.

Something that always pedures in all bodies: Gestures. The eyes. You can have blue, brown, green eyes, but they will have something difficult to explain and maybe some characteristic trait that you can observe in all your past lives. But, it's relative. Anyway, it's another body, but you're still you.

I hope you get your desired body in your next incarnation.

@Thyme I said I didn't want to discuss it further but I will say this much I guess: me being the way that I am and the dysphoria toward my body now contributes to why I'd like my next body to be a desired way. I'm 5'11 and I dislike being tall, so I'd like to be 5'3 or 4'11 at the shortest next time around. Being flat-chested and hating it, not having hips as big as I'd like, and my attraction to the female anatomy (in the interest of adhering to the forum rules and guidelines and preserving the family-friendly atmosphere, that's as far as I'm taking it with that and save the more PG-13-oriented content for the private messaging system), is why I want the body that I do. As for being bi-racial, that part is merely just to see what it's like because it's intrigued me after visions I've had, which I've detailed in previous threads. Please feel free to look through my profile for them if you're interested. Additionally, as I dislike this body and know I'm going to enjoy that body, let's just say I'll take better care of myself in that body since i like it so much.

Enough about me, in your case, I would presume you haven't been experiencing the same dysphoria I am now and be in such a situation where you have a "dream body" that's not exactly achievable in the present but in a future life? In fact, do you have any problems with the body you have now? Let's use this analogy: my situation is like like living in a cheep, unclean, unkempt, insect-infested apartment unit in a less-than-ideal, violent, crime-infested, drug-infested neighborhood. It wouldn't be much of a far-off prediction to deduct (or is "induct" the correct word?) that a person living under such horrible conditions would fantasize about a "dream house" within a friendlier, safer living environment, no?

I dunno, now that I opened this thread, I'm kind of having mixed feelings about this whole thing. I'm thinking maybe in some way I barely understand now, our physical bodies for our next incarnations don't really matter much to us while we're in spirit form? That in a way it's not really "up to us." But it's that i feel so strongly about it due to my situation in this life that's been kind of traumatic enough that I would feel this immeasurably strongly about it. Basically, I ask elsewhere "is this possible" and when people respond telling me "oh, your humanly desires for your next life won't be much of a desire to you in spirit form due to that greater perspective," and then I get all defensive and adamant about it until someone else or that same person then replies "well, if it means that much to you, i guess it's possible." Well, I guess i'm wondering to myself if there was a point to opening this thread in the first place. Besides, I really like the idea that our experiences in this life have the potential of having an impact on what we do, who, and how we are in our next life... that our next life depends on how we live this life, so to speak. But feel free to disagree if you so please.

This is just some friendly advice, with all due respect but if you don't want to engage with something personal on the forum, it's best to stick to the original question and it's context.

People are naturally helpful here, so if you mention something and weren't intending on discussing it, it's best not to mention it. Otherwise people will want to know more, to understand and be able to respond to you.

I don't know much about what matters to the spirit or the incarnation.. My spirit is female and I could be the poster child for reincarnation based euphoria, or at least one of them anyway.

I didn't lead much of a normal life in my last one and I died at 39. I spend a lot of time longing to remember what it was like to have long hair, wishing I could have been normal, gone to ballet classes, eventually become a mother. ..

I think the only real consolation I have sometimes is knowing I'm the same person on the inside.
