Hi there folks!
Thanks for starting the thread,Heidi.
I keep an open mind about stories where people 'remember' past lives - it could be true,but alternative explanations could be true too.i think sometimes you do meet people who you know are 'close' to you as soon as you meet them.To me what is important is that there is a natural intimacy etc it doesn't matter to me whether we met in a past life or if it is just that we think and feel in the same way.I think you can instantly sense these things sometimes- humans are extremely communicative even before anything is 'said'.
Although I believe in reincarnation I tend towards not believing that you can 'remember' past lives.Too many cleopatras!

lol You never know though.
And how much of your personality is reincarnated,given that your personality changes during your life and depends on the structure of your brain?I suppose you must find yourself 'in' a brain that is similar to your last one?Or is there a progression involved?
