"God has never - anywhere in the Bible - promised to answer these three questions: why? where? and when? Questions that start with these words are seldom answered.
But God hears and answers questions beginning with how? or what? These questions sincerely seek wisdom and guidance."
I Love this quote, it speaks volumes. All these people looking for the answers, it's not about answers it's about questions.
Is it future Lives or is it parallel Lives?
I have a very different take on things than most people on here. For most there is the Soul, We Are One and that's it. That doesn't work for me, it's not my understanding. I am a human and that human carries a Soul. For me the Soul is as much a part of me as my arms and legs. Then there's the Spirit, a different being entirely who exists on a different level/dimension to the human and Soul part of me. My Soul is an aspect of that Spirit - as is the Soul of every Past Life (all seven of them) I have had. Lobsang Rampa described it as the Overself or the Oneself.

If there is not time then we are talking parallel Lives, each within its own construct of what it perceives as a timeframe. So right now there is an aspect of that Spirit existing in Atlantis in the same way as I exist right here, right now. I believe that what's happening is there's a 'leaking', and if we use the concept of the Oneself then it's not too hard to imagine and visualise those connections. Perhaps issues in what I perceive in this Life affect my Atlantis Life and vice versa.
It's weird. When I was exploring my Past Life in Atlantis I had memories of seeing myself in this Life. I could never work that out, thinking it was just a trick of the mind. What if the Atlantis Life was aware of me in this Life? What if I can close my eyes and see myself in another mirror? I always wondered why I wanted to heal people and it turned out I was a doctor in another Life. Perhaps they're not memories, perhaps it's happening here and now.
Perhaps reincarnation - or at least our concept of it - is a misnomer.
