Reincarnate into a Past timeline?

[cloud potato]

Do you think it's possible to reincarnate into the past? I'm curious what others here think.

I used to think I had memories of a future life, but maybe it's all the present- just different origins.

Interesting question.

It would explain why there have been people in history who not only were "ahead of their time", but also seemed to be able to get faint glimpses of things that happened later (aka predicted the future). What if they remembered future lives which for them were past lives?
But then, how can you have free will when you reincarnate into a scenario where everything already has happened? As an average person, you won't really change history, but still you would affect others on a minor scope, and how would this work when you can't change the past?
Or does past life amnesia or your life plan prevent you from doing anything you "shouldn't"?
Or is free will an illusion?
Can make one's head swirl, similar to time travel.
Yet I kinda like the idea that it's possible.

The only limitation here in such matters is the human mind and the thinking that comes with such so yes can as everything is possible.

I believe in the other realm there is no time so past, present and future all runs together. You can go anywhere you wish or where you karma takes you. Also you do have free will. It just creates a ripple effect and any changes you make changes the future as well perhaps! May be our human brain is not capable of processing this. I can’t imagine how there can be no time.

Well, there is the theory about parallel universes. If one could reincarnate into the past (which I very would like very much for reasons that I can't talk about since it involves politics - as a hopefully unpolitical explanation let's just say I'd like to reincarnate into a life in either Paleolithic times or Neolithic times), one's actions could result in a parallel universe where things happened differently from small changes like a family line not continuing to big changes that could result in a timeline where nothing of what happened in our universe happened in that one. Which would also bring me to the question of whether we could choose lives in different universes.

Hi Lia1992! Yes I do think there are other lives in different universes. In fact(personal belief) I think it is pretty rare to be reincarnated on Earth again. I still feel I have had a life before, but that it may not have been from this planet.

Then there are other questions and ideas... A life less physical and more spiritual. What would that look like? Are there intelligent life forms here in this planet that we can not see? Are there planets less physical than this one?

Could there be a life not with a 3D form or 5 senses... But a life with 200 senses?

Early civilizations have a romantic charm to them, as dark and depressing as they may seem. Something about being more in tune with nature and the elements feels more fulfilling.
