Reincarnation or memories from your ancestors?

[CassandraApollo]

At one time I did believe in reincarnation. That is because I have memories of past lives. Then one day I thought about how I inherited physical traits from my ancestors. Since we inherit physical traits, should we not also inherit memories of ancestors? Are these memories I have of their lives and not mine? Makes me go hummm.

But what about memories of being in different countries in completely different cultures which have no connection to our ancestors in this physical incarnation?

No one has found any correlation between DNA and memories from the past lives of relatives. Several past life regressionists have written that people do not inherit past life memories from past generations within a family but instead remember past lives individually from their personal experiences. Even identical twins have their own distinct past lives separate from their twin. And as iamthat points out, we have had many past lives that span many centuries from lives in many different cultures.

However, I have read in several books, that we can experience from other souls' experiences. We can share our experiences in the spiritual realm with other souls.

another way to experience other peoples lives is to live them i think. It seems to me to be like buying a used car, when someone exits to go on to another life (which we call dying) someone else can pick it up from its 'beginning' like it was new and drive it around????

So then you get a lot of people claiming to have been the same person in the past and the reigning paradigm is that only one person can have been some other person so you call them all crazy and say it couldn't have happened.

When in fact any number of people can own the same car and drive it around for a while and the only real problem with the theory is that people at large have out-of-hand decided they wanted to believe something else entirely. A common problem, for those who try to figure out how things really work, it would seem...

Hi, Well, you can think or ponder that, Cassandra - I don't myself.
These past life memories and also one when I was in the In-Between place, just before coming back here...
were 100% happening to my individual self.
Just my 2 cents. Good topic.

like you i questioned a lot things guides, reincarnation, extra, it was becoming a real mind f**k


so l asked or channeled
the answer from memory went like
our minds relate to things and events not energy extra so your minds don't or can't comprehend how it really is

so we give it in ways you understand and relate to whats important is the message not how

as your understanding grows the more you will see how it really is
