that is totally fascinating. i guess there's truly no way for you to know if its your past life -- no proof, anyway. if you close your eyes and go there, and ask if its a past life, what do you get? i guess the only other way to find out for sure is t

Asking questions, like who am I? Who is God? What is my relationship with God? What is the difference between my soul And my astral(subtle) body, and gross(material) body?
These are all very advanced questions for the living entities to ask, and they are the beginning of a wonderful, challenging, and rewarding spiritual life. Inheritly we are all spiritual, how to become more spiritually realized and to realize and develop are love for the Supreme Personality of Godhead?
All can be realized by the revealed scriptures, and the revealed scriptures can be very easily revealed to you by self realized saintly persons .. www.HumbleGifts.org has some free books and a schedule of appearance for His Divine Grace Srila Narayana Maharaja.

A human being must be educated to understand his past life and how he can endeavor for a better life in the future. There is even a book, called Bhrgu-samhitä, which reveals information about one’s past, present and future lives according to astrological calculations. Somehow or other one must be enlightened about his past, present and future. One who is interested only in his present body and who tries to enjoy his senses to the fullest extent is understood to be engrossed in the mode of ignorance

Whatever state of being one remembers when he quits his body, O son of Kunti, that state he will attain without fail.

The process of changing one’s nature at the critical moment of death is here explained. A person who at the end of his life quits his body thinking of Krsna attains the transcendental nature of the Supreme Lord, but it is not true that a person who thinks of something other than Krsna attains the same transcendental state. This is a point we should note very carefully. How can one die in the proper state of mind? Mahäräja Bharata, although a great personality, thought of a deer at the end of his life, and so in his next life he was transferred into the body of a deer. Although as a deer he remembered his past activities, he had to accept that animal body. Of course, one’s thoughts during the course of one’s life accumulate to influence one’s thoughts at the moment of death, so this life creates one’s next life. If in one’s present life one lives in the mode of goodness and always thinks of Krsna, it is possible for one to remember Krsna at the end of one’s life. That will help one be transferred to the transcendental nature of Krsna. If one is transcendentally absorbed in Krsna’s service, then his next body will be transcendental (spiritual), not material. Therefore the chanting of Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Räma, Hare Räma, Räma Räma, Hare Hare is the best process for successfully changing one’s state of being at the end of one’s life.
