Well what do you think you are here for? Do you think before you came here, that you picked the life that you have been given?
Do you believe in some of the teachings out there, which say before we come here, we pick a certain path to follow? Do you think that your soul carries on after you die?
I completely think that we come here to learn what we didn't learn in our past life. My other thing I think about though, is those who committ suicide? Did they think their time was over with? Did they learn enough?
I don't know. Seriously the way things have been going in my life lately, I think I was a rich person in a past life, and for some reason my soul seems to think I should be rich in this life.

Yes, We are spritual being on our journey to this planet earth! You have to solve the riddle of life where u left in ur past life. It is wise to solve it as early as possible to enjoy the meaning of life. There is no connection of Soul to Richness. As it is in itself Sat-Chit-Aanand!

I had a past life reading before. And found out that in all my past lives I was killed by my ex ( that is not why we broke up by the way.
I think I have found my soulmate the real person I was meant to be with.
we'll see what happens though.

I almost have to asume I've had past lives. I've got skills I shouldn't have according to my present lifes experiences. Even as a child I had superior hand to hand combat skills. I do blacksmithing as a hobby. When I first started I picked up a hammer and some metal and made a near master level helmet on my first try without any training. Most people would need years of training to match it. I've had similar experiences with several things. If you show me something I can make it.
I've odviously never been a bard or musician in a past life, I'm completely musically inept.

i feel the same way,certain things i do make me feel like i should have better things than i have now or that i have had better things.but if we picked our paths we should have given ourselves a clue on how to make our lives better than the one we had before.i guess we just gotta figure it out.

I believe that we are all born into the book of life, and come here with one purpose or another. We sometimes change that with the descisions that we make, but we are here with orginally the same destination I think. I do not think that when we die it is over. I believe that our soul rests and returns to the ground while our spirit returns to heaven. I don't think that we are sent back here to learn a lesson, or to be punished. Those who commit suiside are only escaping from this world only to enter into another in a worse place. And for the last part if your sould thinks you should be rich, which I highly doubt that it does, because souls do not carry the trasures of riches only your mind does, then maybe it is trying to tell you that you are rich, just maybe not with money, and you need to take a closer look around you at all that you have. I feel rich, but not because I am a millionare. It is because I have a loving caring family that is healthy, and am surrounded by people that I love. If it is your sould talking to you, I am sure this is the message that it is trying to tell you, is to open your eyes and look around at what you have, not see what you don't and desire it.

I don't have a feeling like that. I think I'm a unique human being and not some people in the past. Whatever happens, happened and will happen to us is based on the decisions that we made in this life.

Well, I think everyone wants to rich lol. So I don't think it's just you. But, I think the reason I'm here for is to worship God. And I know a lot of people think it's cliche' and it's been said, but I believe that is my sole reason for being here. I think the reason why I was given the life I was given, was because I chose this life. And a lot of people say they don't choose their lives, but I disagree. I think you always have choices. And I think we were created with the ability to decide and make choices, and so it's always there if we need it.

i would like to believe that we are here for a reason. i think every single thing we do affects the people areound us. life is a journey and we find the our reason as we go through life. sadly though, i dont think i have found mine yet.
i am scared at the thought of everything ending when we die. i dont kno i think this life is too wonderful with its twists and turn to leave behind. i just wish there is reincarnation.

Well I'm a christian and I believe in livin life to the full as thats what Jesus came to give us! Not some boring 'religious' life or an empty one just lookin for ways to fill it... God wants us to live fullout, takin risks, doin al we can to help people around us!
And yeah i think your soul carries on after you die, and then it's eternity! But don't believe we choose our path or are reincarnated. So that's where I stand and I have to say I'm absolutely lovin life, going forward with God is awesome. Cheers!

This is a rich thinking, Did you know, if you can immagine of it, you can become it. If you dream long enough, you can achieve your dream. Wake up each day with a vivid visualisation of what you want to achieve and follow your dreams, work each day a step closer to your dream. One day when you are living your dream already, would you come back to me and tell me how you are enjoying it. Go for it.

yes we are here for same reason in this life as we didnt make the past life a way to find the real you and to each the supreme.So what we had acquired the things in past life we should ave to carry over to this life both sins and the good deeds.So what our aim should be to do the good deeds thereby and become godly so that we do not have to take another life to make it to the heaven.Yes our past characters will reflect in us we have to take the good and leave the bad.If not we are not using this life to the fullest.But are worst than in our previous life.
