I don't believe that souls divide - so that's out.

I do feel, though, that my half-sister was my wife when I had been a Finnish sailor (and that is why I think those connections remained despite). That is why I still love her. At the same time, I love my wife because she bore me two daughters and she had also been my wife.

Because I didn't reincarnate via birth, my 'past' is closer to me because there isn't that 'interruption' of 'present day' to 'cloud' it. Those connections are still there and there is nothing the present can do about it...because I am not connected to the prior soul's friends and family.
