Hello all,
It is interesting how many people remember past life events as children. A recent post by a new member, Zengirl, is interesting in this respect. I liked how she told of her sister saying that she was (if I may paraphrase) charmingly odd. A nice complement I would say.
I wonder how many members have been tagged with that same description or perhaps another characterization because of stating past life memories that were received as odd or even inappropriate by others. Were you or are you the source of stories in your family? When you think of your childhood, do you remember saying anything that obviously didn't happen -- in this life?
When I was a small boy, I said that I had drowned once because my feet got tangled up with some lines or ropes. I quickly learned that was not an appropriate thing to say since it had not happened. My friend called me weird, my mother said I was ridiculous and older adults said that children were to be seen and not heard (said with a stern look that sent me off to play alone). It wasn't until years later that I realized that I was remembering something that had happened in another lifetime. That statement, and some others, earned me a reputation as being a little odd, although in a nice way.
What experiences have you had -- as an adult or child -- that have caused people to see you as different?

) I'd like to say that things have changed much since you and I were growing up, but I'm afraid they haven't - not as much as they should have IMO.
), I even built little altars in the corner of my room...this really cost me some ridicule by neighborhood kids. Later in high school a teacher said to me "you are certainly unique T:tongue:, probably cuz you're SO left handed".
