Reincarnation and other random thoughts
Imagine there is no reincarnation but rather a borrowing of other's experiences to add to a kind of tool kit we use for dealing with the life we plan out while we are still in heaven. What if reincarnation is not really the right word for what happens when we have memories of other lives but rather memories of other lives seem so real because in heaven other's memories are stored as a flawless 3D recollection. We borrow what we need. Everyone gets to keep their own experiences that uniquely makes them who they are in their life but imagine if you will that memories you might have of past lives might be those 3D memories you borrowed from a heavenly friend's experience to help you learn the lessons you came here to learn. Those 3D memories might very well be reincarnated many times by those who couold find them useful. What you do here might actually end up in someone else's toolbox.
I have never read Sylvia Brown but the things Paulette said in that forum of that name ring true. To me, the difference between my view of borrowing 3D memories and reincarnation is just symantics. Those pieces of another's experience are part of who we are so in a way our experiences so our experiences may be reincarnated? Who knows how many memories we will loan to those yet to come? I can think of a few memories, I would want to loan to a friend I know in heaven to help them out. At a bare minimum, we are three creations or carnations...Before we were born...As we live in the flesh...And as we are when we return to our home in heaven. It is not much of a strech to think there could be more. I believe from my memories of other people's lives I never met and my NDE that we may choose to loan our experiences to others we know in heaven for their journey. Have you ever noticed that people rarely have memories of an entire past life but rather they mostly just have a small part? There are exceptions but there again we get to choose how much of someone's experience that we will take with us. It is up to us.
I tend to think of reincarnation as saying a borrowed a past life but why discout classical reincarnation completely when at a bare mininimum even the most die-hard conservative religious believer can say God knew you before you were born... and that means a few gazillion souls in heaven knew you too... If you want to follow my borrowed memory explanation of reincarnation a bit further then perhaps consider; if you believe in heaven and believe you came from there then why wouldn't you think that you might have done a thing or two before you came here or bumped into a few fellow travelers and other hevenly hosts and crew before you arrived in this life?
Time and space are not even reality in heaven. Heaven is as big as God can imagine it and that is plenty big enough for endless miles of souls. We have friends in heaven before we were born and we have family there. We make contracts with every single person or even animals, plants, or anything with a life force...even rocks... for every single thing single thing we will do while we are here. We choose the challenges we want to face and release ourselves by our own free will to sing our song in a land far from home. Our lives are part of the everything and our every action or inaction changes the dynamic of how things go. Even one person can change the whole universe. We finsih planning our lives then walk into darkness as we enter our mother's womb.
Everything about heaven is not attached to time and space, so planning our lives is a timeless experience... but in heaven what seems like it would take more than forever to plan might take less than than a moment...less than the blink of an eye...as we move from planting our seed until we become flesh. It happened..is happening...will happen...
Imagine a painting with its myriad of shades and tones moving from the palet to the canvas... We are the creators of that beautiful tapastry and we are the created. All of us part of the utmost beautiful creation...
None of the things I have said is a perfect truth because words distort the truth when written or spoken but there is a spiritual truth that is absolute. If you read these posts with your soul instead of your rational logic and let it add to your understanding then I hope you would reply to this post and let us bounce those inner truths off of each other then together we might be capable of making the spiritual more explainable.
In heaven, there is an uncountable amount of souls. There is room for even me and you. If we came from there, we will return there but that is another topic...
