Hello! Thank you for mentioning I CHING. I am always meaning to look into that but never do . . . it has a bad association with an old boyfriend (though the whole package is probably relates to something that happened before this lifetime, of course!!!).

I agree with you completely. The movie Braveheart is what really opened up the warrior business for me (so, you see it's been going on for a while now. I'm a slow learner.). I had been getting inklings of it, but it was scary, naturally. Somewhere in watching that movie, it sunk in that it's all just part of the "play". The idea isn't to be freaked out by what we have done, it's to learn from them and not make the same mistakes. (We've ALL done terrible things here on earth; and it's an illusion anyway.) Well, I guess that might all sound self-serving to some . . . excusing myself for torturing heaven knowns how many people, but it explains this world better than anything else I can think of.

I remember doing a report about Hinduism in, like, 4th or 5th grade (this is the early 60s) because I was interested in reincarnation, but I can't even fathom, now, how I knew about it in the first place. And the earliest compulsion I remember about wanting to go somewhere is to Prague; and again I can't imagine what would have put that in my head (particularly then, during a fairly chilly part of the cold war).

I could spend hours talking about this!

Rmm,
Sorry if you misunderstood my post as a recruitment. You had originally asked for thoughts - that is all I did was share my thoughts. You have the right to take or not take what is givin. I shared with no other intentions except to share what I thought was a similarity.
May the blessings be
