Donna,
Your experience mirrors mine in  a lot of ways. When I looked into my sp. needs child's eyes, I could feel her looking at my very soul & my heart would seem to jump as if she'd seen too much. She is my youngest of 4 & her bond w/ me is very unique & different than my 3 other children. I used to hold her & ask her to help me to have the peace I felt from her. It took me many years but I do now.

It is a very special gift to communicate w/ your child on a different level than the usual ones b/c of their unique challenges.  I guess it is like anyone w/ a so-called handicap, the other senses are more powerful & we get to get in on that. What a gift!

in Hindu scriptures & in Bible the past life was confirmed.
then why some people r born with everything & some others the extreme?
whatever may be,i believe in the principle-energy can be transfered from one form to another.so when we die,our pranic energy is transfered into anotherform until it takes birth in new form.
why we instantly form friendships with somebody easily?
because we knew them before hand & we communicate with them innerly.so we know them more well.

“janani janma soukhyanam vardhani kula sampadam!

padavi poorva punyanam likhyate janma patrika!!

the meaning of this sloka says that present birth and its

pattern is the result of karma of previous births.

lord krishna during his discourse to arjuna in bhagawad githa has explained that one has to reap yhe fruits of his karma (dedds)-good or bad in the present life or the next, but he can never escape from them.thus on brings his prarabdha with him at the time of birth and the future course of his life is already predetermined the cycle of birth and rebirth thus continues till he attains oneness with the infinite through his pious deeds.life or death, are all predestind. thus one’s existence on this earth is for some purpose and as soon as the purpose is served or in other words,the allotted duty is discharged,he leaves this world.

As long as there is money to be made from SEC and/or past life regressions they will exist.  Rational and/or intellectual thought and discourse would then take back seat to such ideas.  

How many workshops on a particular day can you find going on Twin Souls, twin Flames, Soul mates, Soul Groups, Soul essences... making money for the presenters?

This the same with all religions, ideologies and mythologies, it's all about presenting illusions to gain money and control.

As for past lives, we should have an open but sceptical mind regarding them, there's some anecdotal evidence which could be seen to support past lives, yet no real verifiable evidence.

The thing which leaves the door open for me, is the huge difference in understanding fear and superstition between people in all societies and beliefs. If we were all born once and equal in that birth, then we would be of  same understanding and acceptance of reality. But this is not so and you can go into any society or culture and find those who are completely ignorant and non understanding of reality and others who are at the forefront of it, yet all born under the same conditions, circumstance and sociological standards. Until we can determine why this is, then the sceptical door of past lives remains open to me, as I have witnessed and been involved in bringing some of these things out in people whilst doing readings in the past. Yet I have no idea of what they represent, other than within the astral realms and their vibrational rates are compatible with the records within the astral which vibrate on a compatible levels to them.

As for being linked to others because of this, I feel this is just a misunderstanding of the reality and can be a sign of doubt about oneself and approach to life. As said earlier, it may well be vibrational rates which draw us together, yet those compatible vibrational rates must come from a reason, or else just coincidence. To me they are links of common unconscious understanding and not related to our consciousness outpourings, which are on most occasions just reactions according to their sociological or cultural programming.

If you feel you have a negative bond or are being influenced by some form of bond with the past, then there is only one action, change your beliefs and life approach. Bonds only occur when we want or need something from someone or situation, a truly free soul is bonded with the future and only those on the same positive path are linked to you. Investigate these things as much as you can, because if you don't, then you will have a gap in your knowledge and understanding. This gap is a fear and we see the results worldwide in mythological ideologies and beliefs being fought world wide as they desperately cling to the past and it's delusional hold upon them. Again this varies with the beliefs. Which again leads us to the question, why are some so trapped in past life and some are less trapped. I see the less trapped as hangers on hoping they can take an each way bet on the outcome. It would be nice if reincarnation was real on some dimensional level, then it would give us hope of a viewable future.

There is a slightly different approach by religions.  First off they exist by donation.  If someone does not like what is said, they do not have to put any thing in the collection plate.  

If you wish to attend some seminar, workshop or presentation or another, there is a fee.  The new age movement is all about how much money is being spent on your development.  Religions often give away what is being paid for in other venues.

Whether ideas or theories are valid is for the seeker to decide.  If you wish to find literature or information to confirm or deny any given idea it is always available.  Even from a single source (there is no collection more contradictory than the Bible, i.e.)

Adding a little common sense and some scientific investigation to any theory or idea would help to see its flaws as well as its good points.  There is certainly comfort to someone who feels unworthy in knowing there are many lifetimes to get it right.  But are they merely putting off for tomorrow, what could and should be done today?

Yet most of the religious followers of the world live in object poverty, whilst the elite of religions live in the lap of luxury, with exorbitant and expensive places of worship, as well as holding large amounts of wealth and assets. Plus it has been the cultural and physical genocide caused by all religions and their desire for control, which has caused 99% of the worlds problems. Don't forget tithing and how you are expected to contribute to the church in as many ways as possible, as clearly the mythical god never provides anything, except for controlling religious elite. Remember, the richest people in the world are mostly all religious, it's only really the religious slaves who actually do anything for others to overcome what their leaders have caused.

I agree, the thinking of past lives and reincarnation can tend to give people the impression they can get it together next time. But that's the same with religion and it's delusional rant of going to heaven and living a life of happiness and peace, no matter what they do in this life, as they will be forgiven if they repent. No different to past lives, in fact both pathetic ignorant cop outs which are destroying all life on this planet rapidly. Without a liveable planet, how can you reincarnate.

To me, if reincarnation is a possibility, then it may be we have to reincarnate ourselves many times in this life to enable our understanding to advance to the point  where we can dimensionally evolve. The most knowledgeable understanding and content people I have ever met, are those whose lives have encompassed many directions, changes and endeavours in life. Those who stay within one parameter, are basically trapped in the past and have little real knowledge, only hope.

I try to recreate my life as often as I possibly can and you could say, in this life I have had many previous and very different lives, recreating myself in many guises and personalities, all honestly and responsibly and with many more changes to come as I delve into the fascinating future.
