In Buddhism - there is pre-destined karma with every birth on the samsaric cycle . Then in regular life - as the above posters mentioned - there is cause and effect cycle that happens in your day-to day current life, this birth. Therefore, doing good will definitely reap extra brownie/karma...
well honestly i wouldn't reply too if you wrote something like that. I have a past life connection very strongly too to somebody with the same age difference and i'm the older female.
Our connection is very strong as well. We aren't in a romantic relationship but there is strong underlying...
Yin and Yang ?? were created thousands of years ago in Chinese philosophy as a balance system of the universe (and within man ) also deriving from Taoist philosophy. Everything has a yin/yang opposites to it even in non-tangible things. Even in art- there is foreground and background...
I know how you feel. There is no way in this life can we be together. I get so sad and all i do is cry daily. since day 1 I met him and its been 3 years. I am so tortured by knowing him . I plead with God to take this feeling away, so difficult to live my life. I wonder why I met him and I...
Raise the Red Lantern isn't a film about an emperor but a film about a wealthy man with his mistresses.
Chinese emperors had one wife and many concubines - hundreds of them. Some of them would produce sons therefore would make those concubines the "preferred" depending on the wife's ability...
Cloud Atlas
Greetings,
There is a new movie coming out "Cloud Atlas" (great novel as well) in the very near future about reincarnation . I can't wait to see this one!
"The official trailer for The Watchowskis' "Cloud Atlas" starring Tom Hanks, Halle Berry & Hugo Weaving. The unifying...
I know how you feel Ogat. I met somebody that gave me the same emotional content. When we first met two years ago, he told me he was going home only after a few weeks . I felt extreme sadness and cried. I didn't even know the guy and it was so bizarre!
We both know we have past lives...
I did ask the question to my 5 y/o boy while he was watching TV late one night (thanks Rich)... "did you choose mommy?" He replied " yes ". I then asked him "why did you choose me?" He replied "because you only had one" (he is my 2nd child and I did want the 2nd one very very badly) . I then...
Hi ya Rich,
Its me, Ginger ;) ... and welcome!
I just wanted to comment on Rich's story and book ... and how fabulous his documentary is to watch...
I had the pleasure of meeting and talking to him in great lengths about his adventures. Needless to say, it was a very interesting...
I'm curious about this CD series too from the same site, "EXPLORING YOUR PAST LIVES By William Buhlman" @ $69.00 .
Is it effective ? I'd like to hear reviews about the product if anybody has tried it.
thank you!
These kind of thoughts are exactly what my buddhist monks teachers talk about all the time. They are from a particular monastery that is the origin of zen buddhism before it traveled to japan and became known as "zen" . They do say that you're acquainted with everybody because you have all...
I thought God was kind and forgiving so why would he want people to suffer ? even for a little bit?
What is suffering though in your definition? suffering to you may not be suffering to others. Suffering could lead to humbleness.
Karma doesn't necessarily mean that there is revenge out...
Oh, I see.... this explains a lot to your "crying". You know, it could be that your parents are coming through to you spiritually more as you are reading ... like as they're helping you understand more of this ... sometimes you are drawn to certain things or you get these "ideas" in your head...
My apologies! I misunderstood. Everybody has intuition , some are more developed than others obviously but everybody has intuition that can be developed further. I believe that you are opening up your intuition at this time which could be the basis for your emotions. It is strange though...
I feel exactly the same way. I don't necessarily "read" people for a living. I feel energy and sense it very strongly. so I often times have thought i was sensing their sadness or whatever. I thought i was just getting too hormonal in my older age :rolleyes: .
I'm nothing but a big cry...
