I'm always skeptical of the spiritual, the paranormal. I believe all visions of a previous or future life is just the brain imagining things that.. we can't always understand. Memories we don't have, memories that were forged from nothingness. That said, I'm also not one to full-on dismiss someone who claims to have memories, however vague, of other lives that were not quite their own.. of ties to the world beyond our physical one, and the like. It certainly is an interesting idea that some people might be born with connections in their mind that others could never simply never conceive.
That said, I still prefer to think that the believing in things beyond oneself is simply an attempt to understand things that we do not. To find answers where there are none. To feel things that.. aren't there. So many seek answers to questions that they needn't know, and it only complicates things. Why are we here, what is our purpose... why does it matter? We are born from nothing, we go to nothing. We are just one big cosmic mistake, for better or worse.
I know, I'm just a ray of sunshine.
But still, I agree with Eks. Be yourself, enjoy yourself, etc etc.
Although... it would be fascinating to have memories, or.. or internalized feelings, etc, from a past life. Imagine if instead of the random stuff we get in our dreams, we instead relive the life of another?
Neato.
