Future Incarnations?

Reading Justin Smith's post about a life in his future got me thinking.

If right now....at this moment...you had to pick a quality to work on and improve in your next life.....What would it be???

For me....I think ego and pride.. I have cut off several relationships in this life because of injured feelings (ego) and refused to begin the relationship again because of my pride.
I don't dislike the people or wish them any harm....they just no longer exist to me. Typical Scorpio trait sadly. It definetely is something I need to work on...next trip.

How about you???
 
The "me" in the dream of the future is much more of a people-person than I am --- more emotional and empathetic. She's no dummy but relates to people more easily than I do.


Qualities that probably come in handy for someone at the head of her company...
 
What an interesting question! This is going to take some thought for me, before I come back and answer it. My first thought was "trust", but I think that's what I'm working on somewhat in this life.
 
Hi Florence!


very interesting question! Like you, I hope to work on my ego and pride. The lessons I have the most work in are definitely ego, trusting others and myself, and letting go of wanting to control. I have come a long way so far in each of these areas in this life, but I still have a lot of work ahead of me.


Honestly, I hope hope HOPE I don't have to incarnate again, but I fear I may have to. :)


look forward to seeing what others are working on!

Hi Florence, Being a fellow typical scorpio, I think I share some of your issues regarding ego and trust. I can also be a bit impatient (I am the kind of person, who often refuses help (be it from a friend, a family member or co-worker) because "it is just easier to do it myself." I think that at the root of all of this, is a lack of trust in others. I will say that I think that these are the issues I am working on in this life, and I do think that I am making some progress. But I can be a slow learner :D , so I bet there will be more to be done in the next life. As to other issues, I am so far from perfect in so many ways, that I suspect my guides and I will have a bit of fun, saying "okay, well there is a lot of work that needs to be done, we have to focus."
 
Hi Elese and Alex,


Well here we all are working on the same issues...Ego and Pride along with Trust


I have been very independent most of my life. Younger, my mother would give me some unasked for help and later say " I did this for you so now you owe me that" I believe that was the beginning of my refusal to accept help. Another part of that is probably false pride. Concerned with lookng weak or looking like I can't handle a situation.


Trust is in there as well because I think it may be thrown in my face at a later date by the party offering me help... (Shades of my mother)


I'm sure "I'll" be back again... I think I was a terribly sweet and generous child...never jealous and always concerned about others.....I don't know if I'm still that sweet....grin....


Oh yeah, one good thing I can relate. I had a terrible and explosive temper in my teen years....I did get rid of that in my late 20's. I seldom if ever, get angry anymore...just disgusted or let down. Most things are not worth the trouble of getting very upset...


The thing that got me over my temper was my regret over things I said in the heat of the moment....and....looking at how people LOOK when they are furious...Ugly and horrible... I thought I no longer want MY face to look like that....


You can say your sorry but you can never erace those words .....that played on my mind...over and over....I learned in anger....shut your mouth!!!


It worked.....
 
What a great topic..!


I'm pretty sure that I have said this before - but I do believe that I must learn how to accept help from others, like Flo and Alex (another Scorpio! :D Cool!).


I should also learn to make choices that will make my life easier - instead of persistantly taking the "road less travelled by" with all the obstacles in it. I'm glad to say that I have overcome most - but next time, I think I'll take the main road with plenty of R&R areas along the way! :D


I understand what you mean about people you cut yourself off from, Flo. With me, it is exactly the same - those people become meaningless - so meaningless they are not even worth being angry at.


Flo knows I'm a Sagitarius - it seems that Scorpios and Sags share some traits... ;)
 
No time to really think this out and will get back for more later... But allowing myself to receive help is a big problem for me as well. Me being a Picses , does not fit the same profile as you others, so maybe it is part of the reason we have been bit with the reincarnation bug.. ??
 
I so desperately need to work on self-esteem issues. Since so many are talking astrology, I'll mention that I'm an Aries (my birthday was last Tuesday!). Aries are supposed to be strong and confident, but I better fit a description in Linda Goodman's Sun Signs book - (to paraphrase) "If you ever see an Aries with drooping shoulders, he's no doubt a 'sheep type' who was badly wounded in the ego when he was young." Yup. That's me. A lot can be laid at the feet of my parents and why I'd have chosen them this time around is beyond me. I've taken many emotional beatings in this life and in my next, hope to grow up feeling loved and supported and nurtured.


A second 'project' might be to be more people-oriented, though the bad self-esteem and being avoidant no doubt go hand-in-hand.
 
Happy birthday Equestrienne! ;)


I sure hope you get your wishes for your next life, and also that you are able to find and see all the good things that you are already - in this life!
 
I would like to work with people who suffer from post traumatic stress. And maybe my wishes will come true. I have had a vision of my life in three lives from now , where I am working at a healing retreat in northern Ontario on a beautiful lake in the woods. I have felt I would only be working as a cook or something basic, but the more I am growing i think I may be wise enough by then to tackle a job as a psychologist/pyschologist type of position..


Happy birthday Equestrienne. And me too , parents I do not really feel bonded to, and who beat my ego pretty badly. But in the end I think it is for my benefit and probably orchestrated from above??.. I do not think I had much to do with chosing them.. and thus I cannot find the reason to be with them.. I hope you find more peace with them. Family affairs are often trying.. hug2.gifheadbang.gif

Thanks to all for birthday wishes. The offending culprits of my wounded soul (parents) are both passed on now so I only have to deal with their lasting effects on my psyche, not they themselves anymore.
 
Happy birthday Equestrienne! $$ I too, often wondered why did I choose/was given my parents, but recently I am beginning to see the benefits of such challenging childhood. I hope you find your self esteem and your peace soon. It is inside of you.


In my next life I am hoping to work at all the issues you guys already mentioned. Among other things, I am also having difficulties accepting help. I was conditioned that way because my mom was never able to help me with pretty much anything. My dad was disabled, so he couldn't. My grandmother was disabled and unwilling.
 
Oh Florence, there's so many things to work on...where to start? The issues you mentioned could go under the heading of "Control Issues" that Scorpio's and those with Scorpio taking over much of their first house have! (who me? : angel) Alot of mom's have this one and that's when I learned to 'delegate' my authority and let my family shop, cook and clean house. The world didn't end and things actually got done without me! I believe 'perfection' is overrated and it doesn't exist on Earth anyway...remembering that has kept me sane.


Wow, your last paragraph is a stunner and I've decided that words, whether said in anger, to create drama, have the last word or to be critical and finding flaws is without doubt what I need to work on in my next life--yes--shut up! (:eek: maybe in this life too!) Thank you for the opportunity to think about this idea.

Future Incarnations?


Has anyone heard about that theory some open-minded scientists, and other people who try to ''follow'' reincarnation have, about it being possible to reincarnate from the future? (Or would that be deincarnate?) I don't know if what I'm about to say has anything to do with that, but it's possible.


This is perhaps one of the weirdest experiences I've had, when it comes to me trying to sort out things concerning my own past lives. As far as I know, there are three lives that I've lived, which are very easy for me to separate and remember things from - and of course I also have rather continous threads of memories that are obviously from other past lifetimes, that I'm afraid I don't know too much about - but there seems to be a fourth life that I've either already lived, or am going to live, that's also been with me for what seems like an eternity. I seem to know very much about it, and yet, I don't think it's one of my past lives that I'm able to remember so well. I know it must sound insane, but I feel as though I'm getting flashes and even plenty of good, long, detailed, complete memories from what is going to be my next incarnation. I don't know how I know this - or rather, there do seem to be at least a few small indications of it - but hear me out, anyway. It kind of scares me at times! And I don't think that these memories, or visions of the future - whatever you'd like to call them - are at all just dreams. No, they feel like much more than that.
 
To begin with, I'm living this life, which I strongly believe to me by next life, as a young woman named June Hudzik. (And strangely enough, I used to know a woman whose last name was Hudzik, from where I used to live in the States. I wonder if there might be a connection between this, or just coincidence?) When these flashes of dreams (or again, whatever I should call them) begin, June is in her early twenties, and, I think, living somewhere in North Carolina, where I grew up in this life. She's part American Indian, and really looks it. June has an older sister named Marcia (and again, I find it really strange that the first name of the Hudzik woman I used to know was nothing other than Marcia) and a younger sister named Felicia. She's quite close to her sisters, and the three of them are close in age. They live with their parents, who are rarely seen together, in an old house on the edge of some woods.


I know, somehow, that June's maternal grandfather's nickname for her is Junebug. And in case someone doesn't know, junebugs are an increasingly-rare insect that can be spotted in the Southern USA.


In the dreams, and daydreams, that I've had centering around this June person, I somehow know that the quality of life for the average person in the States is getting progressively worse. There are a lot of problems with health care, and for this reason, a lot of poorer women are beginning to learn things like midwifery, and give birth at home, since hospital bills are almost impossible to pay, if you can't afford health insurance in the first place. And at this time in the future, health insurance is getting harder to acquire, anyhow.
 
Now, fastfoward a few years, again in these series of memories that I've been having about this woman named June. It's wintertime, around Christmas, and June has a three-year-old daughter with her live-in boyfriend, whose name might be Mark. But I'm not sure. Details surrounding him have never been clear to me. But the daughter's name is definitely Holly. June isn't on too good terms with ''Mark'', and life is very hard for them. They're living in an extremely small, one-room apartment in the middle of a crowded and dangerous city. June keeps saying, for some reason (possibly because of her bad situation in the States) that she wants to take Holly move to the Netherlands. And she's talking about getting someone she knows to forge a couple of passports and other documents for them.


Other than that, I don't know too much about June and the people in her life - but it's a very grim situation that she's dealing with. And really, I know this all sounds pretty darn crazy. It must certainly sound as though I've been watching way too many post-apocalyptic movies, such as Children of Men, or what-have-you. But I haven't. I don't know where this particular set of memories and dreams are coming from, but they feel so real to me, and feel as though they could actually happen.


So, has anyone else had any experiences, like memories of incarnations, which don't seem to fit into the ''history'' which has already passed, which you'd think we'd know about from textbooks?
 
Hi Raakel,


This is not the first I've heard of people seeing future lives. I'm currently reading Dr. Brian Weiss' book "Same Soul, Many Bodies." He has spent his career regressing his patients into the past. Later he figured out he could progress them into the future. It's impossible to prove the future since it hasn't happened yet, but he said many of the people he progressed described the same thing when describing what the world looked like in the future.


In "Same Soul, Many Bodies" he talks about many of the patients he progressed into future lives. He says that the future is not set in stone. It's more like a series of probabilities that are contigent on what happens between now and then. You may have a lesson to learn in this life. If you don't learn it this life, you will have to repeat it again in the future. What you do in this life will impact what the next one will look like.


I personally haven't seen the future that I'm aware of. I'd be curious to know, but I'm not sure I want to know. I figure if I take care of the here-and-now, the future will take care of itself. :D
 
Hello Rackell.


You might like to read Jenny Cockell's book . Past lives, future lives. In it she discusses seeing into her future lives.


I myself believe we can and do see into our future. Just as some times some people remember and are drawn to remembering their past , there also is a reason for people to remember their future. I too have seen one life in a brief setting in my future. It felt real and helps me to focus on the good, as it was a pleasant memory.


For your memory , being one showing difficult times , you might want to search your soul for the reason for those triggers. I myself would go into past life and present day stressors to help you change your idea about your future. I imagine we all cannot avoid difficult times , but if you feel overwhelmed with the hardships when/ if? you are not under any stress now, then there should be some therapy work done around these thoughts.


You may not be able to avoid the difficulties but being prepared emotionally can make all the difference . And who knows maybe you can turn it around and make an improvement in our future. Maybe do some volunteer work towards improving the health care system. It always helps to reach out in a positive and constructive way. :thumbsup:
 
I'd like to read those books you guys are talking about! And you know, now that I remember, Edgar Cayce said himself, during some of his trances, that he was looking at his next incarnation. He said that it was so far in the future that the upper part of the United States was totally flooded - and people lived in houses that were made of a material similar to glass. He said that people traveled sometimes in these cigar-shaped aircrafts, which were supposed to be the new model of airplanes, and that the family he'd be born into would have an unusual last name. He also said that the theory of reincarnation would be far more accepted in the future, and that he'd remember his past life as Edgar Cayce from a very young age - and that he'd tell everyone about it, and some learned men would take him up in one of the futuristic aircrafts to try and find where his home used to be - only it would all be under water.
 
Future lives....


Over the last few years - old memories of my mystical and spiritual experiences are coming to the surface of my mind again. Most of them are very profound and I dealing with old subjects anew again.


I had five friends who passed away between 1977 and 1981. There spirits were coming to me in dreams. I couldn't prove this outwardly. They kept talking about their 'passing' as a 'spiritually planned' event. They told me they had to 'depart' in an effort to prepare for their 'future incarnations.' This boggled my rational mind.


I had an experience in 1981 with a living friend and was able to 'mystically' gain insight to his past lives as well as get a glimpse into the reality that he had future lives as well.


Then in 1983 - I had my own 'mystical' spurt and felt I had an OBE standing in line at an airport. When I got on the plane I was sitting next to the same friend I had the glimpse into the past lives with. I told him I had caught a glimpse of my own future lives. I felt it was sort of illogicial. It didn't make sense.


Each of the five 'spirits' made predictions to me about their next future lives. They all told me the name and birth date of their future 'persona.' Each made a prediction of when and where I would cross paths with their 'hidden spirit' in the future.


At the time - my attitude was - "I will believe it when I see it with my own eyes."


I thought my spiritual friends were trying to get me to go snipe hunting in the future - only to laugh at me when I finally rejoined them in the afterlife.


For myself - I am totally convinced of the reality of future lives being planned long before we live them. It has been proven to me beyond a shadow of a doubt. Of course - I have no way of proving this to others in the manner and way it was shown and proven to me.


I am just curious to what others think about 'future' lives laid out for us - just as vivid and real as 'past lives.'


My spiritual friends (in the ADC's) would always tell me that from the 'spiritual realm' the view they had was eternal. (No time.) In that - the past, present and future were all one continuous thing. The eyes were saw the world through were 'illusive' and tricked us into thinking in a limited manner. On a spiritual level - the life of the soul was already established.


I am curious what others who have studied reincarnation think about the aspect of 'future lives' as vivid as 'past lives.'


It still boggles my rational mind.


Sincerely,


Dave
 
Hi Dave,


I don't think anyone can give a conclusive answer to be honest: The mechanics of the Universe are too complicated for the human brain to comprehend (but maybe incredibly simple for the soul?: ;) ) But if you take your question, and apply the holographic theory, then 'remembering' a future life becomes a possibility. The idea that past, present and future are all simultaneous, and that 'now' is just an illusion to our physical form, as is linear 'time', it can be all a bit mind boggling I know, but it is a theory that I personally have a lot of time for.


Here's an interesting old thread that you've probably seen already: Holographic Experiences & The Future

Thanks for the link. I also have a blog I started last year and I added a blog about the hologram theory. (Hologram.)


I buried memories when I was 18 and this last year - a ton of childhood memories came to the surface. When I was 18 as well was when I was a child - I was constantly 'remembering the future' as I called it. People, (of course) told me that was an impossiblity. All the predictions I had sight of in the past have come to pass. I have a section on my blog that pertains to my own personal 'future memory.'


The only researcher involved in the 'near death' studies of consciousness that deals with this theme is PMH Atwater.


I don't feel I am alone when it comes to these sort of insights when it comes to the near death experiences of my past. I was curious to see that the hologram theory has made it's way into the theories associated with reincarnation.


In the early 80's - I had sight of my own 'future' and even wrote down various predictions. That I could handle to some degree. What boggled my mind was when the spirits showed up talking about this 'hologram' design where everthing was done already.


I have a memory of a conversation I passed on to some friends at a party. It was based on what I was recalling from the dreams of my 'spiritual friends' and what they were telling me the world was like and how it was designed.


I will try and remember the conversation and share it later.


Thanks for the replies and suggested links.


Sincerely,


Dave
 
Apparently I have been busy lately while in heavy sleep state planning for my future life (which will supposedly take place in England). I didn't think I was in such a hurry to come back after this lol. But it sure sounds like I am going to be dealing with a huge set of new challenges, but it also seems like the old ones that I am dealing with now won't be an issue. So it's time for me to buckle up and get moving.
