Do you believe in past lives?
I'm still not convinced, am inclined to not believe in them, but I've had some rather overwhelming experiences.
If so, which gender were you more often?
If there is such a thing as past lives, I was female much more often than male. It has been difficult for me to be male, and having to adapt to the gender expectations has made me bitter. Most of my friends are female, and I understand them much better than my male friends. And yes, I'm heterosexual in case anyone was wondering, though I've often felt androgynous, or even like a lesbian in a male body. Unfortunately, the world won't let me simply be who I am and meet my expectations/needs at the same time.
What are some of the places and times that you lived?
If the impressions and memories that I've had are real, then there are a lot of them. This is one of the reasons I don't subscribe to past lives. If this is real and not some associative effect from being empathic and picking up on perhaps psychometric vibes and the memories contained in places or things, then I am a
very old soul.
What kind of people have you been?
Very few of my memories were clear enough to make an assumption based on anything other than my associations.
Do you have any other clear memories or impressions?
I've had some that were terribly vivid. Quick impressions, scenes, memories. Most of them are a flood of memories that hit me when I'm introduced to something. For example, the first time I ever touched a 'real' samurai sword (that dated to the late 1600s in Japan and had seen combat) I got a flood of very detailed memories about the period and culture that I later found out to be very accurate. Past life? Psychometry? Some sort of quantum something or other? Who knows?
I also have some memories of being a jazz musician in the 1930s or something. I get scenes from a house I have never visted in this life and a perspective that I don't currently have - when I hear certain pieces of music. They are vivid, and this is odd.
If you have any past life memories or impressions, what is your earliest?
As best as I can tell, the earliest is Minoan. I had clear memories of being there before I ever knew such a place existed, or had ever seen the architecture, etc.
Have you ever met someone in this life that you remember from a past life?
I have several friends who seem like I'd known them very intimately before I ever met them.
However, I have one friend who whenever we touch each other, I often get these very clear images of being an English woman somewhere between the 1600s and 1800s, and her being this man named Robert. One night it hit so strong that I started talking with this woman's voice as if I were her talking to this Robert guy, and my friend freaked out because hearing that voice sparked a memory of being that guy and being with the woman I was. He was a bastard, by the way, and I ended up hating him. Assuming this is true and not some sort of wierd psychological side effect from who knows what.
