My thoughts on "past life" is that as cool as it may seem, it's hard to believe in. It's pretty much safe to say that everyone wishes that they had an amazing thing about themselves, like if one of us was an Egyptian princess or a famous actress or some great warrior or some other thing. I would be happy to know that, to know that I or at least my past life self accomplish something in history or experience something in that life. But if such a thing is true wouldn't we know already? Wouldn't we get a certain feeling deep down in our souls, in our memories long buried within us that we did so?
No, at least I don't think we do. What I do know is that we're not supposed to dwell in the past. Doing so would reverse all we've done so far and hold us back from growing more. From learning and from accomplishing a new thing in this life, in this present.
But the amazing thing about being a dreamer is that, no matter where we are, what we're doing or even when, we can dream. We can fantasize about our soon to be great accomplishments. Dream about the adventures we want, the things we've done and create a world within our dreams where we'll be the center of it all.
We may not know whether or not "past lives" exist or if it does what or who we were but what we can do is dream. It's one of the things I love about us, about humans. We can do so.
Now for something amusing. It seems in this "Past Life Diagnosis" test I was a guy in my last earthly incarnation. I was born somewhere in the territory of modern South China around the year 1600. My profession was that of a builder of roads, bridges and docks. I was a Revolutionary type. I inspired changes in any sphere - politics, business, religion, housekeeping. That I could have been a leader. And the lesson that my last past life brought to my present incarnation is that I'm bound to solve problems of pollution of environment, recycling, misuse of raw materials, elimination of radioactivity by all means including psychological methods.
Reading that made me laugh because I don't see myself in that at all. I certain know I don't believe in those tests because they can never be accurate without actually taking everything into account. That and the only way to know is there was proof of it being correct.
