This is a question that has been troubling me for some time! Of course, when I say "alone" I acknowledge that the presence of one's parents and siblings, etc, make that concept, on the face of it, sound questionable. But one doesn't necessarily feel bonded or drawn to one's relatives - even...

Hi all, Not sure that I've posted this in the most appropriate place, but, having recently lost my father, I have a burning question... I know my father is still close - in moments of calm and peace I think I can feel him - and I've no doubt he is looking down on me, and still doing his...

I keep reading that addictive personalities are deficient in some chemical or other in brain. Is that all there is to it? Is drug, sex, gambling, or alcohol addiction all due to neurological factors? Or can it be PL related? Any thoughts?

Can anyone offer an opinion? Given the fact that it's basic human nature to want to love and be loved, or simply to have friends and a social life - a sense of purpose to one's life, a direction,etc - would anyone of us choose to lead a life that renders us effectively spectators on the lives...

Interested in people's thoughts on this one... There are various forms of addiction. Drugs. Alcohol. Sex. The list is endless, really. The only common characteristic is that the sufferer has little or no control over his/her behaviour. My question: is any of this related to past life...

I have no idea if this means anything, but I thought I'd relate it to see if anyone else has any ideas about its significance, or otherwise... I've been going to bed lately in the hope I might get a glimpse of my past lives. I have often seen fleeting glimpses of faces, and even of people full...

I have written on these boards before of a not-infrequent dream I'm still struggling to interpret. Last night - or, more accurately, the early hours of this morning (December 29th) - it occurred again, and as usual began with me laying on my left side in bed. Then, as always, I felt the duvet...

Hello all, I have a firm believe in "life after death" and in reincarnation, and have had such a conviction all my life, ever since my pre-teens. It makes such perfect sense to me. But being human, and prone to doubts about my own beliefs and values, I do sometimes - not often - wonder if I am...

Hi all, I've been away for a while, experiencing what, I hope, is a period of personal spiritual growth. I have a couple of things I wanted to share: I think an old friend of mine has died. He was in my hallway the other night, bewildered, lost, and confused. He looked exactly as he did when...

The other night I had a most interesting "dream." I've only just had chance to sit down and write about it, yet, unusually, I still remember almost all of it. I have no idea if it has any significance, if it IS a fragmentary recollection of a past life, or simply a product of my own sleepy...

Hi all, I'm off to see the new reincarnation themed movie "Cloud Atlas" tomorrow night. It only came out here on Friday, but as movies usually open in the U.S. sooner than here, I wondered if any of you Americans have already seen it and, if so, what you thought about it?

Am laying in bed today with a bout of flu, feeling bored and playing with the laptop. I just googled past life regression therapists for my home town, and - to my astonishment- there's one on my doorstep, just a few minutes walk away! I've just started in on some self-hypnosis regression tapes...

I appreciate this might not be the correct section to post in, but in the absence of anywhere more subject specific, I ask you all for your forebearance... In a mood of calm and tranquil reflection yesterday, I visited my ageing parents and stayed for Sunday lunch. This isn't an uncommon event...

Sometimes, when I look in the mirror, I can see what I can only describe as some sort of energy field about me. If I try to focus too sharply, I lose sight of it - the trick seems to be to relax my gaze, rather like we all do when we're daydreaming, but not quite, if that makes any sense...

I wonder if anyone has any definite thoughts on the underlying cause of promiscuity? One takes it as read that, on the physical level, the sexual urge/compulsion drives an individual to have many casual sexual partners in a quest for gratification. But, on a spiritual level, are there other...

Most of us,I suspect, believe that we incarnate with a definite life plan, in which all the key events are immutable. But is it possible, I've been wondering, by the exercise of one's own free will, to deviate from that life plan by a small or even significant amount? And if so, two further...

While in the company of my brother's little Jack Russell dog yesterday, I became full of curiosity regarding the question of animal reincarnation: specifically, do animals reincarnate in the same fashion as human beings? If so, does it apply to birds, fish, and reptiles, as well as mammals? I...

About 18 years ago, after visiting a spiritualist medium for a private sitting, I was told that my present life was to be my last incarnation on earth, which suggests that all the remaining lessons I need to learn while physically incarnate would be provided in this lifetime. As much as I...

In this lifetime, I am very much a product of the English working class, in as much as I grew up on a working class housing estate, had traditional working class parents, and went to a state comprehensive school largely filled with the children of working class mums and dads. However, most...

Many of us here in the UK, and doubtless elsewhere, have been stunned recently by allegations brought against former BBC TV presenter Jimmy Savile, who hitherto had been regarded as something of a national treasure. He even held an OBE. The spotlight is now on his alleged sexual abuse of...
