Many people have questions about past lives and about the idea of reincarnation in general. Why I hadn't thought of talking about this before, I have no idea! But I'll answer some of the most common questions here for all of you inquiring minds. Hopefully, it goes without saying, but just for good measure, all of my beliefs come from my own personal experiences doing readings for others and through my own spiritual growth through meditation and prayer.
"Believe nothing, no matter who says it, unless it agrees with your own reason." ~Siddhartha Buddha
Have we had other lifetimes on Earth?
Yes. Really, we have. 99.9% of us have done this Earth thing at least once.
How many times might someone come back?
For some, they've done this Earth thing as little as two or three times, and for others, it's been hundreds of times! The amount of times we've been back doesn't seem to depend on how "old" our soul is, but on how often we choose to come back.
Is there such a thing as an old soul?
Well, your soul could be "old", meaning it has been a long time since your soul's inception; but that doesn't necessarily mean that you are a wise soul. An old soul could be stubborn and slow to learn and evolve. "Old" does not always mean wise, and "young" does not always mean stupid.
Do we always come back as the same gender?
Not usually. Most people have been male, female, black, white, rich, poor, you name it, at least once. It seems that the point of this is so that we are able to realize the equality of all human beings, the importance of respect for life, and to learn empathy for all souls.
Do we get to pick our life (i.e. our parents, the time period, the place, etc.)?
Yes and no. We are not able to say something like, "Okay, I want to be Madonna's daughter." But we do have something like 3 to 5 choices to make for parents and general life work. Then, with our angels and guides, we choose the life that we think would be best for our soul's progression at this time. So yes, we usually consciously choose at least one of our parents as well as a general structure to our life.
But I hate my mom/dad/brother/cat/job/husband/life! Why would I have chosen him/her/it?
Sometimes, we pick people and situations that will teach us a lesson we need to learn. Other times, we are trying to mend the hurt from the past with a current relationship. In other cases, we are trying to help another soul. The intentions are always for a greater good, but making them come to fruition can be difficult at times.
Do we have to come back?
Well, no, we don't have to. No one forces us. Free will dictates the law of the universe, and angels, guides, and even God cannot force us to do anything. Every lesson we learn, every accomplishment, and every forward progression of our soul only happens with our permission. If you don't want to come back, no one makes you do it; however, it is in the best interest of your soul to come back if you have lessons you need to learn that could be learned on Earth. So no one forces us, but at our purest we are beings who desire to evolve, and so we will choose to come back.
