Whippoorwill

Senior Registered
Hello, I joined the forum a few days ago and have been reading all the threads with interest! My name's Rebecca, I'm 30 and I live in the UK. I'll try not to bore you with all the details of my story yet, but just try and let you know what brought me here!

I read about reincarnation as a child and it always made perfect sense to me. As I reached the age of about twelve I had certain feelings that didn't really fit with my current life, feelings of extreme love and loss that I could never explain. Feelings of fear. It's always been more about emotions for me, but I had a vague idea of two lives I might've lived.

Then, around October last year, I started to get facts. Thinking it was my imagination, I looked up a name I'd been given. I thought I'd never find her and have a good laugh at my stupidity for even bothering to look, end of story. But I found her on the census, at the right age, in the right place. That, with a few other things, has given me a fair idea of my life directly before this one. It all really startled me.

It's taken me a few months to try and get my head around it all. I didn't really handle it very well, I've been frustrated and sad and a little preoccupied, with a rush of unhappy feelings from that life. I don't really have anyone I can talk to, despite having an incredibly understanding partner and parents, it's an awkward topic! It relates to my family in this life and involves a romance with someone other than my current partner (someone who hasn't incarnated this time). They keep saying "You can talk to us about anything!" and I just keep thinking "But not this!" So they've heard the basics, but nothing of the detail that's bothering me.

So, all this has led me here. Sorry to give such a long intro, it's just so nice to be with people who understand! Looking forward to getting to know you all better and hearing your stories.
 
Hi Whippoorwill, and welcome to the forum. You couldn't possibly bore us. Just your intro has me sitting on the edge of my seat! This is a safe place to post your memories, and "hang out". I'm looking forward to reading your posts.
 
Yes, welcome to the forum. Long stories are welcome here and no one will think you are crazy. There is a TON of things to read here. Also check out the book section and video archives.
 
Hello and welcome.


Please feel free to share your story. You will not be judged here, and you will be amazed at how helpful everyone here is.
 
Welcome Whippoorwill :)


This is a forum where those feelings of yours are shared and understood by many. You're welcome to share your story, and nobody will think that you're stupid. I hope we can help.
 
Thanks for the kind welcome, everyone! Very happy to be here.


argonne1918, catching snippets from other posts I think we might have been around at a similar time.


Thanks BriarRose! It's not a dramatic tale, but I suppose it's a slightly romantic one. I'll get it written up!
 
Whippoorwill, I love your avatar.There's a thread under "introductions", called "what your user name says about you." It's nice to read, if you haven't yet, as well as tell how you picked your name. It sounds wistful, like your story.
 
Thanks so much, BriarRose! It really struck a chord with me and seemed like the perfect picture to use. I've been browsing that thread, it's very interesting. I'll head on over and make a post. :)
 
Hi! To all from a new member


Hi!


I'm Lynden, Just a brief note of introduction. I have had a strong interest in the topic of reincarnation since my late teens (I am now 67) and am interested in researching the following broad headings:


Reincarnation in the same family group.


Reincarnation outside the present family group.


The inter-life state.


Astrology and reincarnation


Karma and reincarnation.


DNA and reincarnation.


I have read some of the work of Ian Stevenson and want to follow that up.


I am resident south West England, UK.


Best Wishes to all


Lynden
 
Hi Lynden, welcome to the forum from a fellow south west England member! :)


You'll find a wide range of sub topics on reincarnation here, many of them on your list. Feel free to browse the sections and add any comments, even if they are old threads. Have you read Carols' books? They are in our book section along with many other well known authors, and not so well known.


I hope you enjoy your time here, and that you can find the answers to some of your questions.


Chris.
 
Welcome Lynden,


Looks like you already have a good grasp on reincarnation and some of the research behind it. I look forward to your posts!


I hope you enjoy the forum.
 
Hi Lynden, Welcome to the forum. Your interests are wide-ranging, and you'll find a lot of members here eager to discuss them. I'm looking forward to reading your posts!
 
Great to meet you, Lynden! Welcome to the forum. You couldn't wish for a more friendly or supportive bunch of people, I've just found that out for myself! I'm in the UK too, Derbyshire/South Yorkshire area. Looking forward to reading your posts.
 
Welcome to the forum Lynden...and by your introduction and interests, it appears you have come to the right place...I believe there are threads on nearly each of your points of interest. Enjoy yourself and I look forward to reading your impressions of both what you find here and what you've brought with you!
 
Welcome, Lynden.


I'm another Brit, from the south-east of England this time, and, as others have already said, you've certainly come to right place to find answers to your questions.


Look forward to your posts.


A.
