im not attacking, if you read Pies' posts you would understand why i was so aggressive with him/her, do us both a favor and read my post titled
How Well Do You Know The Bible, and you'll understand where i am coming from. . .
By the way, i really hope you dont honestly believe that the Christians ALONE, hold the secrets to the laws of spirituality
Respectfully yours

Hello ,
I prefer keeping things simple. To me this quote just suits humans perfectly:
"A wanderer is man from his birth.
He was born in a ship
On the breast of the river of Time."
Have a good day

Being the poets that they were the following prose came about which illustrated the essential nature of this belief:I died as a mineral and became a plant,
I died as a plant and rose to animal,
I died as an animal and I was man,
Why should I fear? When was I ever less by dying?
Yet once more I shall die as man, to soar
In the Blessed Realm; but even from godhood
I must pass on. . .
What a wonderful poem Dark Clouds can I ask where you got it?
I don’t know about reincarnation it seems plausible to me and it does seem that over time the culture of the Human race is evolving so in a sense maybe as our collective souls get older we get wiser as a species.
As far a second sight and things of that matter, I do believe it to some extent. I know my great Aunt knew the minute her son was killed at Pearl Harbor. She actually saw a vision of a cross and her son on the front lawn, and this was before anyone knew the war was on. So to me there does seem to be some connection between people that science is as of yet unaware.

Some years ago I kept an allotment vegetable garden. Once, whilst innoccuously picking tomato`s, I was overcome with a feeling of terror of an incredible magnitude. A few minutes later word arrived that my youngest son had been badly hurt having been run down by a speeding car.
Fortunately, his young body healed quickly and he is now a very fit young man.
The thing is though, the moment that he was injured, I knew.

Englishman,
Leave it to you to start a great thread. First of all, I don't believe in the teaching of reincarnation. I don't think it is a graduated moving on from life to life improving on what we have learned in the past. I do believe in my own form of Karma.
I think life is a never ending over-lapping. And in that over-lapping sometimes we experience things that seem familiar.
I like Wendy, know for a certainty that Thinker and I have been together a very long time. Although in this life it has only been since last April. Without going into a lot of detail, there are just things we have experienced and know about each other that would be impossible without this fact. We too are soul mates and we found each other in the strangest way.
I have also had other experiences. Particularly when I was in Europe and we would be touring through buildings, and I would know my way around and know what was in the next room before we got there. At the time, I was an active witness and it was very disconcerting. I like RHW, thought it must demonic.
I think that we all have levels of these experiences in our lives, but some are more attuned than others. This is not based on any research on my part, just on personal experiences. Imagine my consternation while touring Dachau and hearing their screaming voices and smelling the stench. I couldn't wait to get out of there. You may put it down to a vivid imagination, but if you talk to anyone who truly knows me, imagination is not one of my better points.
I am trying to make this make sense, but there are so many thoughts running around in my head that I am not sure it will.
I for one, do not believe in the demons anymore as the Society teaches, but there are just too many documented examples of these situations. Add that to my own personal experiences and there must be some kind of explanation.
And what about the times when you have an inexplicable connection with another person. You know what they are going to say before they say it, even if you have just met them? I believe there is a scientific involvement here as well.

Hi E-man,
I do believe in incarnation but in a very different way.
To me it's genes inherited from two parents who in their turn inherited genes from their's, I believe it is as simple as that.
As for our senses we use five mainly but possess six and that's the one giving us gut feelings and such.
I think at the stage in human development where speech was still something to be mastered this sixth sense was in full operation sadly now that we can communicate via speech this ability to communicate via different means is nearly gone however a lot of people sense it's still there. I also think it is the same sense that makes people feel a "spiritual connection" although I fear it is mostly miss-understood by the experiencer. I could ramble on about this one and I have done so before but in the end it is only my views and I am certainly no authority on the subject.

Thinkers Wife,
I think that you would enjoy reading "An old Captivity" by Neville Shute.
Although the book was written in the 40`s, his novel deals with just the situations that you describe. He eventually finds his ice-age lady
on an aeroplane in Canada, well worth reading.
