Hi Ronni We starting talking about past lives in the chakra thread; so I thought I'd start a new thread for past lives in case others want to join in. I was told I was an old soul with many lives and that in one I'd been in a tragic relationship. I did some inner searching to learn more and so far all I can discover is that it was a taboo relationship with a very handsome man (I can see his face), but I don't know anything else yet. So I was another woman once... or maybe a man-yiks . Could I have been a gay man? I 'feel' as though I was looking at him through female eyes; but maybe that's how gay men feel too What cha think? Now I was also told I was a bird in a past life. I find this very possible because it explains SO much about me. But a pagan girlfriend of mine is not sure about animal past lives and she thinks all the things about be loving to fly and so forth is because I'm a Air sign (Libra). She's not convinced I was a bird; I'm convinced I was and I was, I believe, an eagle. I think a Golden Eagle. May be I'll never know for sure; but I do believe so. It explains my love of heights, mountains, birds, to look for things on the floor (i.e. pick berries, collect sea shells, rock hound, look for coins, search the ground and rush to pick up 'trash'), and so much more. How do you feel about animal past lives?

Hi Fran, thanks for dedication time to the forum! well I think its possible we have lived before, however, I don't know if it was on earth, honestly I feel we are from another planet, and perhaps, when you see this man of yours, you are seeing your other self, just a thought, I think that we all have another self, which is the spiritual self, and it could be the oposite sex, which would make us balanced. about the animal past lives, hmm, well Im not saying its not possible, but perhaps we incorperated animals here on earth when we came here, perhaps they were once our leaders.... ya know I was thinking today about animals, what if they are just like us...I mean try putting yourself into an animal and seeing the world, maybe they feel as we do, don't know what they are doing here, and wondering who these things are that keep them caged up.. just some thoughts Ive had about this. maybe animals did evolve here, and we did not, becuase people just started springing up all over the world at once...ya know, I mean it all began so oddley as if we were either placed here or we traveled here from another planet.... what do you think?

I do feel a connection with all animals and certain animals more than others. I also feel happiest when I'm around more natural environments. I'm not sure what it means yet but I'm working on my spiritual enlightenment to learn more about my being. I don't know about how we were created exactly but I'm pretty convinced the earth was a creation that evolved. We humans are special in a way, but at the same time I'm not convinced that a human life means any more to the Mother Earth than an ant's life. As far as aliens being our ancestors I don't believe that; however I do believe that there are other life forms in the universe. I think of our angels, demons and spirits as almost a form of alien, they live in another world, another plane, place and even time. We shouldn't put ourselves so high on God's list of favorites when we so little idea of his other creations. Maybe God loves us all the same but still has favorites. What do you think?

hmm, well hoenstly I am not sure what God's intentions were or are, or if God is even a thinking thing, what I mean is what if we are all God that are joined by consciousness, all of us,.....I do beleive there is a God , but not nessecarily the one everyone talks of, and knows well, I think perhaps God is simply something we can not begin to understand, perhaps somehting we can not measure, a sea of light and consciousness maybe, I too seek further enlightenmant because I can feel there is something more there ya know, and I always have since I was little, I like to think we are all the same, humans and animals that is, niether is better.

I agree! God is beyond our understanding but like to think that some of our Holy people have come close to understanding; for they are who I look to for advice myself. They certainly knew/know how to live in peace; I seek this inner peace that comes from understanding but I've got a very long way to go; I'm still too connected to other things. It's so cool that you think we are all connected too and that nothing and nobody is better; I couldn't agree more. We may be different, but equal. Being different is what keeps things going for all of us. I believe in the butterfly effect We've kind of changed topics huh? LOL. New board?

Hi, I agree that we have past lives. I'm not sure if everyone in the universe has a past life because some people are so adimate against past lives. They feel like they will go to another place instead of rebirthing back into another life. I've been through many lives before. But I think this goes back to the fact I'm an abductee too. Well, not sure if the animals have past lives but it says in the bible in revelations that there are animals in the new world so I think they do have a spirit that moves on after they pass away.

I want to add something interesting about animals, I was just exepreincing something odd with one of fish, he very sick and almost dieing and he was lying at the bottom of the tank, I bagan talking to him, and he looked into my eyes,and I just focused and tried to speak to him, I said that I was sorry for his pain, but anyway, he bagan to move and he bagan to swim around in front of me and I saw his side was all scratched up, and I could see through his skin, oh god he looks awful, I felt terrable to see him this way, but I think I did communicate with him and I have communicated with other animals as well, I just think that they are from the same place we are from, and they hold that life energy as well and that they are aware as well, maybe not as much as we are, but I know they are, who knows maybe they are more aware than we are.

Yes I believe in animal past lives - as well as other things, like plants, etc. I can't even begin to only believe in human past lives. I honestly think that's insane. I think there are levels, and considering your karma and experiences, you change levels. Levels that go high and low. Such as possible "aliens" or anything higher than us, all the way down to a hell-like places. I think being human is very valuable, and that we don't often get to be one. I believe people have thousands of past lives. I'm not sure of any of mine, though. I think you communicated with your fish. I think you can communicate in all sorts of ways, not just by focusing and sending thoughts like that. Perhaps just sitting next to him was enough for him to know you cared and he wasn't alone. I am about 3 feet away from my fish, and I can just turn my head to it and it will know. I don't know what it "knows", but it does, and it comes swimming closer to me.

I have an animal story. I do believe it is possible that animals can reincarnate back into your lives. Several years ago my partner and I rescued a red healer named Dixie and we absolutely fell in love with her. We live out in the country and being a "cow dog" Dixie loved to run. We were in the process of putting a field fence around the parameter of our place but had not yet completed it in the front by the road. One day while we were in town she got out and got hit by a car on our dirt road - we found her lying on the side of our driveway when we returned - it must have just happened. We jumped out of the car and I carried her still warm body up to the house - we were both bawling and ended up burying her that afternoon with the help of our neighbor. We were so distraught for weeks. We had only had her a short time but we had fallen in love with so much for the short time we had her.
About two years later, my partner found a litter of puppies on the side of the road while on her way into town. She brought them all home with her (because she could not possibly have left them on the road you know?) So, we gave most of them away and kept one (we named her Sandy because she is the color of sand). She has grown up to look very much llike Dixie did and has the same lively personality as Dixie had - I mean the same characteristics. We know in our hearts that it is Dixie that returned to us because she knew how much we loved her and still do.
