Recognizing online somebody from a past life

I know that the whole subject of shared past lives has to be taken with a grain of salt at first because people tend to try to place the people they know into their past lives. However, have you ever found online somebody you knew from the past? Did you recognize them at first? How did they "feel different" than other people to you? I've been told by more than one person (past life workmates) that they recognized me because i "had the same vibe", I often wonder if some certain vibe that we carry can also be recognized by living pl relatives... that would be interesting.

I've met some people online that remember working in the same place as me (big place... lots of people). I only have memories of one of them, maybe two (I remembered the incident but not the person itself). I don't think I experienced any strong feelings towards them at first besides obvious intense curiosity I would experience with anyone who remembers being there. But maybe that's just me since I don't think we talked much back then and my emotional intelligence has never been too high =D
 
I did find a soulmate on an online dating site. We have shared many lifetimes together, and had been together once before in this lifetime.


I also found a person I consider a "soul sister" on yahoo answers. I have not delved into how close our connection is or if we have shared past lives, or if our connection was to be in this lifetime, however.

I find that very interesting, Mama2HRB, but like Owl asked, how did you recognize each other? Is it because you shared some memories, or is it a matter of "intuition", as if you knew deep inside you have met before?


I haven't recognized anyone from a past life so far, or at least I'm not aware of that. My experience is a bit different: years ago I met two persons (at different stages in my life) whom I thought I could have a connection with. But that was before I started any research on reincarnation. In both cases there was a feeling inside me that told me they were "special", especially with one of them that feeling was present from minute one... weird as the first time I saw him he was sitting with a common classmate and I could only see his back. But then I guess there's something about the eyes of that person that makes you feel that recognition.


Well, the weirdest thing is that when I started my pl journey they both have appeared in two different past lives and they both were important people that had a big influence in me, but I still have the lingering doubt if this is only a fantasy or a desire of mine.


Anyway, this sense of recognition would be more at a "physical" level, but how would it be online? How do you discern that "vibe" comes indeed from a pl relationship, and not simply a mutual understanding?

It will be hard I guess, sometimes you find that you share a lot of things in common with somebody else and you immediately think "Oh, past life!" and you try to place and figure out who that person might be. I guess time and memories end up telling in those cases.


When i mentioned the "vibe" these people felt, from what they told me apparently it wasn't a vibe of mutual understanding, it was more a vibe of "I can't stand you as I couldn't stand you back then either"
 
It was shared memories and a bond that goes way beyond a normal relationship. My eldest also has memories of lives with him, the majority, if not all, of which they disliked or hated each other. That feeling continues to this day.


Also, there was a time when I said under my breath "I wish I was Tish" and later that week he said something about when we were a couple that played tennis together and my name was Tish.


I had never heard anyone called Tish before that.

Yes, I know what you mean with this "bond", in my case I felt there was something that "attracted" me to these people, not in a romantic way of course, but meaning we had been involved in certain matters in the past, and not always enjoyable matters. "Something" we knew at a subconcious level but couldn't identify properly.

Yes, I didn't mean that vibe has to be always positive. Maybe it has nothing to do with what we're talking here, but I could tell the difference between these two persons. The one that provoked me more negative feelings was the one that gave me greater problems in that past life. Could be only a coincidence though...

Just a few months ago, I met someone online, with whom I immediately clicked with. In just a matter days, we shared so much about each other's lives and talked about so many topics--something that would've taken me months with the many others I've talked to.


During this time, I kept getting all these "signs" that our online friendship was not meant to be. There were occasions when my computer kept bogging down, my Internet would slow down dramatically, my cellphone couldn't connect when the thought of going online crossed my mind, and even the power went off once as we both talked. I normally get intuitive signs/messages at certain points of my life (such as when I applied to different universities), but not in very obvious and rapid succession. We both had this feeling of "why didn't I meet you sooner?"


Interestingly, I also began to read the novel Anna Karenina, and the similarities between the book and what was happening in real life were eerily close to home. He and my boyfriend had very similar names, just like Karenin and Vronsky. As I read the book, I couldn't help but think of how foolish Anna and Vronsky were, and how I did not want to end up like Anna. On top of this, he is engaged and getting married later this year, while I've been with my boyfriend for close to six years.


In the end, we both decided to cut things off, as there was absolutely no way we could go on, especially since we both had our own relationships. I've never asked him about his past life memories nor have I seen him in my very faint memories, but I couldn't think of any other way to describe the crazy experience except a past life connection.
 
If failure of technology is a sure sign that something wasn't meant to be, then given how widespread tech failures are possibly no one's relationships are meant to happen?


Or maybe if the tech failures have a purpose, it's to challenge you to decide for yourself whether someone is in your destiny, by putting up just enough stumbling blocks to a relationship that you need to try a little harder?
 
I certainly thought so. It felt like someone was slapping me in the face, or shaking me by the shoulders. Many times, I would look up and say things like "Very funny, guys!"

I'm not sure if the timing also had to do with it, Mel. The experience happened during most of Mercury Retrograde. In astrology, this is considered a time when communications, travel, and information can bog down. I will not go into detail about Mercury Retrograde here, though, since it's not related to past life or reincarnation.


I would lean towards the latter. Perhaps it was a challenge for me to stay on course, and give up very old habits. Just like dreams, sometimes it takes a shocker to get the point across.

For the longest time I could say aloud, "I want to wake up at 7 AM" and at 6:55 I would feel myself being gently shaken awake. If I ignored it got to where I felt like my whole body would move side to side.


I could also request ten more minutes to sleep. I would get 9 minutes then be shaken again.

Interesting older thread! Anyone else have anything on this to share?


About a year ago I found a friend online whom I'm quite sure I've known in a past life. Now, I'm the first person to pump my brakes when these thoughts come up since I don't want to 'taint' thoughts on a person or give myself thoughts that might not be so accurate. Despite the fact that there really is no way to be sure about this (I'll explain why) I still hold on to my thoughts and theory about them. It's unique compared to other people I've met both online and in real life, despite some similarities to other people there is something different about this particular person and our interactions. I'd bet a good amount of money on it!


The first thing that stuck out to me was our mutual interest in the time period, obviously this isn't the rarest thing but there are people who are interested in history and then there are people who feel something about history. We had two emails going simultaneously, one talking about ourselves and lfie and modern things, and the other talking about the war. It's rare that I find people who can speak with such depth on the subject! We're both quite obsessed on the same subjects. I've never found anyone with such a specific match in interest.


A few people mentioned picking up on the 'vibes' of someone, and I think that's another thing happening here. The level of affinity we share is marked, but also notable is how we can fight. Argument after argument after argument with us, it doesn't really affect our relationship it just feels very natural and normal somehow. We both get very very frustrated with each other just talking about things that most people would probably consider simple but it feels immediately like old habit, These are pretty unique things for me and I really don't feel this for most anybody.


Well, despite all that I can't officially chalk it up as a pl connection since this individual unfortunately doesn't subscribe to reincarnation. Shucks! So not only do we not share memories, we don't even share beliefs. So I guess I'll never know for sure!

It's curious how time and experience has made me change, and now, two years later, I can answer this question in a total different way!


Yes, I found online someone I knew from the past. The feeling was not too different from the other two guys I mentioned above in real life, from the beginning there was "something" about this person but I couldn't explain exactly what was. Through our interactions online I had some unexplained reactions, say, too intense for the kind of relationship we had. I asked in meditation if I had known her before and the answers were quite clear and explained perfectly those reactions and even some things I was doing in quite an unconscious way. In other occasion I used one of those reactions as a trigger and found out about another past life together.


As I've always been very cautious with this matter, I was quite doubtful at first, and wondered if it was all just wishful thinking. The thing is I've had similar intuitions with other people and I never got so clear results.


Now I think there is definitely a "vibe" we can feel, and my theory is stronger the more lives you have shared with this person, and the closer that relationship was. In my case I have memories from a few lives and that makes it a bit more complicated, as you have different feelings, each coming from a different life. Well, complicated... but also fun. I tend to complain about pl relationships as they're quite frustrating, but anyway I wouldn't trade my memories for anything.
 
For the newer members who may have missed it, there are several of us here who knew each other in past lives. I think online forums like this make it easy to reconnect.
 
Yes, since I joined here, I've helped people that I met connect with a couple hundred past-lives. It's really wonderful for both me and those that I've worked with! No, this is not promotion. I don't charge for what I do and I'm selective as to who I work with.


Three people told me that they had an instant reaction to me of trust. I also, had some feeling come up re two of these people (now friends.) One of these as soon as I saw her picture on Skype, I felt that I'd seen that picture before! But, when checking my feelings deeper, I realized that I was probably recognizing her from a PL.


There is a woman that I've now guided to about 50 past-lives and we had at least two lives together. The first one was an amazing session where she was "mentally ill." It took her a while to understand what she was experiencing. She had no ability to put on a facade.


While I was guiding her to the main trauma to heal it, she described an older man that was interested in marrying her. Her family wanted to get rid of her as she was not all that functional.


She said that she did eventually marry him and she was VERY surprised that he treated her real well and she fell in love with him. When she said that, I felt this big ZING go through me. Then after the session she asked to no one in particular, "Why would anyone be interested in me as messed up as I was."


The answer was SUPER obvious to me, I almost yelled it! I said something like "Being LOVED by a woman with no facade!!!! What a treasure!!!"


After contemplating this, I realized that I was that man that she had married. Both the ZING and my reaction to her question told me. She also came to the same conclusion.


Just now, reading what I wrote here brought tears to my eyes again!

Yes, agree 100% that is exactly my feeling sometimes, something totally bugs me about those people and I don't know what, as if they were a pain in the *** or used tell me stuff I did not want to do, and now I just wanna have nothing to do with them. A feeling that "they haven't changed any, hey what else is new!"... that's just a weird feeling I've got about some people from place X (but it's not known for the most enlightened, humanitarian, friendly crowd, either). Others from the same time period I'm really close friends with and there's much resonance and understanding between us. I do resonate about some things with the first type also, but as of now, we're in "different" places mentally.
