i am going to ask this as best as i can so please bare with me ...
________________________________
how do we know if all that we are today is vice versa.... like when we die we are going to the past life where we once was and this life was a test of something..and when we die we go back to how we once was.. and i understand alot of people like to or live the vampire lifestyle. now who sais it cant be that you true life liveing of todays vampires came back and today liveing the ways that you have to but are really form the past.....if this is not understandable please ask and i will try to exsplain again
i feel that anything is possible we just have to use our own personal experiences and try to figure this out on our own .
it is an interesting topic....lol once you understand what you are asking *smile*
i am sure there is a lot of people believe that is true...it all depends on your beliefs and if you remember anything from a past life...
Maybe it's because I'm tired, but I'm not quite sure I understand the question... If you could please try to put it more clearly I'd appreciate it... It does sound interesting :)
This is one of those topics to which there is no way to know the answer.
There are multiple theories, some complimentary, some diametrically opposed as to the relationship between "this life", possible previous lives and what happens after death.
It all comes down to individual belief. There really is no theory that will gain universal acceptance.
boy that was bad huh ? lol
ok how do we know if .... like when we die we are going to the past life where we once was...... and this life was a test of something......and when we die we go back to how we once was...... and i understand alot of people today lives the vampire lifestyles.... now who sais it cant be that todays vampires came back from another life and are liveing the ways that you have to today.... but are really form the past..... hope this one helps..
I feel that since many people believe in past lives, when we die we are creating a new "past life". This being said, I don't feel that we would go back to our past life. In fact I think that we would start a new life in either another form of life, or as a different person.
I think past present and future are all interwine all together, one cannot exist without the other.
I agree with Cryingmist, but I also think that this life is a test of something, if not then what's the point in living it?
A test for what and who judges and what u`ll get if u win?
see that is true to about the test thing... i just dont understand why there are so many things that we cant and dont understand and its a shame that things are hidden from us.. i think wed have the right to know right ? its weired if you think about it.. theres life styles of vampires,goths,ect ect and all is from past history... why are we drawn to this as we are.. and with it igsisting now as well as the past are we not who we are said to be
No one knows what is going to happen when we die, so this question cannot be answered truthfully by anyone. There are only theories and what if's. Nothing will ever be explained fully until it happens.
Living and functioning as we do in this dimension, and experiencing the constraints of time when trying to understand other dimensions is hard work lol
I would say it would be pointless for us to go backwards as it were.
Perhaps the wisdom of some things being 'hidden' from us is so that we may make use of free will.
I hope i understand your question right ~
I believe that when we die we are reborn into a new body, and the reason that i think we reincarnat into new bodys is so that we can experiance every aspect of life, and honestly i think it would be a waste of time if a person would only live 75 to 85 years then die, i mean what would be the point of that, and i think going back to a past life would be pointless...
i don`t know if i understand the question right but all i can say that we don`t know what will happen after our death, but if we reincarnate i think there must be some reason for it, we still have to do something here
i do not believe when we pass that we would go back to any past life i feel that all of our past lives are carried along with us and that in each life we progress(advance) and learn from our mistakes i do not see that it is a test in general but more of a way of what (choices) we make and choose to as what happens when we pass from this physical to another.
i dont now if we swich places or not some say we come back to live a differnt live with none of our past nolldage so we live a new till we have a perfcite live in our own minds olny then do we gain enmortalty
I believe we bring a little of each past life to the one we have now..so there is no going back..only onward and we learn as we go..so we hopefully improve as we proceed.
the answers that we have no clue about with whats going to or what will happen are really to a point the best ones.. the curiosty about everything and all.. now you know how we have dopplegangers well how do they look such like us can they be us from another or reincarnation or from the past.... is there a reason for them do you think
as i have mentioned in the "doppelganger forum" i believe them to be of a spirit that warns individuals of events to take place that are negative i purely think their existence is just to be a messenger.
the only thing that connect us to them is our image i feel.
dopplegangers are the people we see that we dont know that looks like us correct.. ? well in what way/ways do they warn us.....
i figured us liveing today is what we are looking at from us being in the past... are we dead today and we was alive in the past
Well this life is a test..... a test to see where we would go in the after life (heaven or hell)
you could say that this life is the next step in to yesterday past life to see if you would do the same thing twice. it that was the test then most people might be doning the same thing over and over agian.
coold we of been the aliens... or the dinosaurs ect ect and this is what we are now.. for there is no dinosaurs today and as of aliens hmm makes me wonder but we dont see them either
This is a little confusing but i think that life is a test to see how we do and maybe if we deserve to have a second life after death......
wow thats a deep question. I don't see why it couldn't be that way. Maybe living this life is a test for us. to see how strong we are and how we work things out.
it just depends what is going on that day but today alive would be my answer.
Introducing the concept of multiple reality!
There are several schools of thought who not only believe that lifetimes are NOT sequential (past lives aren't necessarily "past"), but that they occur simultaneously and overlap each other.
With this concept, my past life in ... wherever.. occurs at the same time as this life. And past life dreaming or future life dreaming is crossing between one reality of the self and another reality of the self.
There are suggestions that there are billions of multi-realities all existing at the same time on a different "plane" for lack of a better term.
With this concept, it would be possible on the astral plane (that which lies between), one could meet one's other lives as contemporaries vs past and future selves.
It's also suggested that for every decision ever made in life, another reality of the self takes and lives out the opposite decision. Just as one in this lifetime might be prosperous for deciding to buy a lottery ticket, another reality lifetime may have chosen to not buy the ticket and works full time at their mediocre paying job.
Mind bending stuff, but fascinating.
Simply put, the multiple reality theories suggest existence as not unilateral, but rather each as a facet of an infinite sided diamond, where each lifetime is simply a reflection or facet of conscious decision making.
as i think about things... i dont see us being here to be tested i guess to each there own but it all is confuseing to me does anyone know of any sites to read about this
I dont really know what this shell has to do with anything in the past but only in the future when my soul is free from it.
I guess I would have to agree with most that this subject comes down to personal beliefs that you can live with so to speak.
You could ask 100 different people out on the street and get a 100 different responds.
yes coughcool that is true... its interesting thow hearing all types of opinions and beliefs i dont know what to believe lol and i really dont have a religion to what to believe in... i was baptized catholic but do not practice
I feel anything could be possible yet we will not know till the final curtain.
who would you of liked to been if we are past life... or what would you of liked to been... what do you or who do you think you have been
i think it is hard to say.. i am sure so many individuals wish that they could pick someone famous or even notorious but in the end we are not given that choice.
I dunno...past lives and the present...I guess it depends on the personal beliefs of the person.
I think we exist on different levels, in different dimensions, and alternate realities. What we percieve to be is a matter of personal perception of metaphysical constructs.
I have never really thought about it much. I believe you die and go to heaven or hell. Whether we have past lives are not I am not sure of. Sometimes I feel like i am in the wrong time or that I'm in the wrong place. Who knows:)
I believe that anything you can think of is possible. Nothing is impossible only improbable and thats what I believe this to be. Sorry for being so blunt.
that is a good ? i dont think we really know until that time comes
I don't believe that we regress. What would be the point. I think with each lifetime, or reincarnation, we get ahead. We may just remain the same if we were an awful person in a past lifetime. I think this is what you are asking.
when you come along a stray animal ...
or even go to a animal shelter or get a animal from anyplace..do you ever wonder if that pet is someone from past life...
would really like to get the FINAL ANSWER on this one... without having to do it myself!
I believe that when we die, we reincarnate. Depending on what we have done with this lifetime, say, good or bad, determines what we need to do.
I do believe we come back and that every life we live is another lesson we are ment to learn and if we don't learn it we will come back and live the same life style. That suicide is not learning and that you will have to come back and do the same things over till you are able to learn whatever you are ment to
Anything is possible nowadays . You just have to judge and figure that out for yourself .
for reincarnation.. past lifes ect ect
could suicide mean something when we want to kill our selves
thats a really good question but no one really knows but if you said that when we die we go into the past....how would a vampire come from the past if he died?
hmm good one... wouldnt it be reincarnation ? maybe as they say vampires are immortal correct.... maybe vampire lifestyle really does exsist and todays vampires prove it
That is a really good question. We really dont no until you die. Then again maybe the dreams we dont control are past memories of wat will or already has happened in that other worldish place... Its just questions that will never be answered. And if it is please contact me as soon as possible lol!!! REALLY!!!

could there be a different meaning of past life or future the way we die
could there be another meaning/type of past life .. in the future
I belive our souls move forward each life is a learning level that we attain higher spirituality from, and do that we gain in our next life, if we live an evil( and I mean that is the sense of murderer, child molesters etc...) then we come back at lower level of existence.
ty everyone for your replys... if there are any links do add thanks
so are you saying like. once we "die" we are born agian into this life to relive it?
An interesting topic for sure. It all comes down to an individuals beliefs. If you believe in reincarnation or past lives then each life may be a test...to see if we have learned from our mistakes. Maybe once we get the life right, we move on to a different plane of existence. I guess we will all find out eventually.
i don't really think theres a clear answer, i will try to think on it though
Dude, we're alive. If not... the land of the dead has really made some strides with the advent of the internet and all that jazz.
Its hard to say what happens after we die. We may go on to living another life, we may go to heaven/hell, or we may all become spirits. I have even heard someone taking about people becoming stars after they die but I think they got that idea from The Lion King. I think we all look different than what our souls look like. So I think that when we die we go to another place and we will look like what our souls look like. WOW I hope that made some sense!
the thing is theres so many questions out there that has so many answers that we really dont know.. and to hear others opinions are great.. because u see others beliefs and all to me questions like this i get into.. if your really into knowing something and u know that you are not getting the correct answer or are you ... it gets quite anoyeing
I do not believe we go back to a past lives, i believe we get reborn into new bodies to live new lives and to learn new things...
whitch is reincarnation correct ?
i believe very much in reincarnation
Sorry that this doesn't help much... But I've got to say it. I'd like to see hell, or at least pergatory. but my major belief is that there is no point in pondering such a subject because we'll all see for sure when we get there... as for me personally, I will have since ceased to care.
Well that's a good one...no one has recolection of what or if we even had a past life....and no one has been seen to return from the other side as of yet now Christ like event has occcured.
Honestly I believe we only get 1 chance at life if we screw that up there are no do overs. In my opinion there is no past life, and no such thing as reincarnation. The life we have now is it.
How ever there is a possibility of an after life, and judgement day is enevitable.
this "life" is just a virtual reality computer game. total immersion games enable you to interface totally with the computer, with your environment being downloaded directly into your brain. in order to enjoy the game fully, the program blocks off all memories of your real life existence, so you perceive the game as your only reality.
of course, the system is not perfect, and sometimes there are little glitches, allowing you glimpses of your real life and vague memories leak through. for this, the manufacturers of the game apologize sincerely and hope this does not detract from your enjoyment of the experience.
I'm sort of confused, (not anything new), but to the best of my understanding it would involve your belief structure.
Life is like going to school. When you go to your first day of class you are given a book. But you don't read that book all at once. You read it letter by letter, word by word, sentence by sentence, page by page. You learn from that book. Eventually you are tested on what you learned from that book, but not as soon as you get it.
The way that I see life, is this. A letter in that book is an hour. A word is a day. A sentence is week. A page is a year.
Sometimes if we fail the test that the Universe gives us, we have to re-read that part of the book. If we choose to learn little, or nothing in a lifetime. Or we miss the intended message entirely, we may have to repeat a lifetime but it is rare.
Interesting concept. Will have to think further on this one. Certainly I see the soul as a form of energy, which cannot be created or destroyed, and time bneing a non-linear process could certainly explain what you mean.
ok here is something.. and lets try no bashing one anothers beliefs ok ? :) speak your thoughts and be nice ...
ok now i am not one who has red the bible or knows much about religions i am catholic but do not practice or anything now to me this has a little to do with my question post. hope it does to you as well....... ok people say that god was just there ... and he created everything.. now the thing with cavemen,dinosars, ect ect..all past lives.. was that like this today meaning haveing the same thoughts about things... why was we put here..why do we think about these certain things. can us being dead/alive as the question is asked above be a past life us reminessing
WELL THATS A GOOD TOPIC WHO KNOWS WHAT SOMEONE IS I SURE DONT.
peh..all i can say is.."wait."
in the end of you lifetime..you will know this answer.
Or...you can try to waken your sences..if lets say you
DID died and come back to live again in your past..
you should have some memory of it.
Open your mind..and try to find an answer.
but,like so many have said already..
your gonna hav-ta do this yourself.
We cant really help you in knowing the truth about
the afterlife..of what to come after death into life.
sorry.
If this life is a test i would like to think the next one will be better and we would keep improving and not go backwards
yeh that would be pretty re warding....
maybe it gets worse thow....
When one meets the reaper, tell me what he says to that, then we'll have our answer. But to the other part, life is always a test
There are a number of religions that maintain that the purpose of life is to afford an individual the opportunity to ascend spiritually to a level where he/she is deemed worthy to reunite with the Divine... if that opportunity is squandered then the soul is returned to relive another life on and on until the transcendence is achieved... this concept has been assimilated by christianity with the concept of purgatory... spiritual advancement does not need priests churches or dogma only a sincere desire to reach spiritual peak...
i remember Dead or Alive. have you seen what pete burns looks like these days?
this is my thought live today for today learn from you'r past life but do not let you'r past holde you back that is why they call it the past it is mealey a point of refference and learning
there are a numerous amount of answers...read everyones posts if the answer wants to be found...you will get it right when you see it
Everything is intertwined. Yes, this life could be a test and the life before this one as well. It all depends on what you believe in. (:
that is true about its what you believe in...
however it would be kool to know the truth
wouldnt it ? besides believeing in what you *think*
Overcoming the barriers to death is most fascinating. Is it possible? Perhaps, but no one can say for sure or quantify in an absolute sense.
