Why do you remember??

[CSPaula]

TMan,


Thanks for your posting and for directing me to your writings about your experiences. I read through each of your posts in that discussion and I was struck by much of what you wrote regarding how you view your reincarnation experiences. As I read through each post, I continually read words or thoughts that I have had, regarding my reincarnation experiences. As I read, I kept highlighting text to quote and that I want to comment on but then it got to be too much! So much of what you wrote was interesting and similar to how I have thought about these issues.


I especially was intrigued when you wrote (paraphrasing-sorry if I got it incorrect) about how all of your dreams and experiences simply unfolded in front of you, they happened to you and all you could do was to be a witness essentially. I have had that same experience. I did not prompt these dreams or experiences. They just happened to me and sometimes I feel like "now what! What I am to do with all of these strange occurrences?"


I think you said it the best when you wrote that it may be part of some grand plan. I believe this too. For me that is the best logical explanation. Thanks for writing and sharing.

I think several factors influenced my remembering. Primarily I think it was a means for ancestors to reestablish their connection with me.


Somewhere I read that some believe there is a place where souls go to heal, that it is pleasant and there are other souls there. I believe that. I have this sense of being in a bright pleasant place and running/flying over low little green hills, very free.


It is like memories, especially like remembering vivid dreams.


I do believe, due to the generational connection, that my GG and G Grandmothers looked out for me. I personally think ancestral connections are a primary cause of remembering.My Grandfather and Dad, the other family members on this line, were living throughout my childhood. I had a very vivid recurring dream that a benevolent "Granny" was pulling me around in the red wagon in the hospital playroom for as long as I wanted. In this world you had to take turns. There it was always MY turn. It was very healing. When I got into family history later, I learned that my Great Grandmother was called "Granny" and that name was reserved for her, so my Grandmother was always Grandmother. Granny died in 1961.


I think I was heavily impacted and have done as well as I have largely due to the caring and intervention of God and ancestors. Perhaps one reason I remember is to bring a message about the impact of slavery. Our country has not done near enough for racial reconciliation.


I was conceived almost immediately after justice was denied in the King assassination trial. I have thought that I came back too quickly due to this, but in retrospect I believe I came at the right time. If outrage at injustice influenced my return, I believe that was a good thing and that I came at the right time with the consent and caring of God and ancestors, not too quickly.


In Orthodox Judaism some believe that autistic people are gilgulim (returning souls). Maybe some of the increase in autism is due to reincarnation, and these souls are more heavily impacted by their PLs than me and connot communicate.
