From the Deepest Secret thread on the boards. I write:
“…more and more I feel that life really will be continued in future lives. It’s not possible to comprehend all that is presented that you know pertains to you.
I know there are stacks and stacks of things I can’t get to before I die. Things that are really personal to me, that are inordinately important to learn about but I can reach them. Lack of time. Lack of intellect, lack of perspective or all these things in some kind of combination prevent me from in depth study and I just wonder at this point if it’s just a preview. Like being in elementary school. You know you’re going to high school but you’re not there yet…”
Who can relate?

Well, I am not talking about getting old and having to come up with a story like this because you’re running out of time. My thoughts arrived because my husband was talking to me about some stuff he also talked to me about when I was a teenager. Back then, it was interesting but superficially so because it was also intimidating. Today I am less intimidated but I am still not going to delve deeply into this (I don’t think). But I do think I will eventually and…
At various times in my life I have seen people study something voraciously. I did this with astrology – I just knew I had to get this down HARD CORE but I have also seen people do this near the end of their life. They realize they need certain knowledge.
Now in my case, I don’t NEED the knowledge yet but I do think if I stay on this path, I will eventually become very schooled. It’s like hanging around an astrologer – me. You don’t mean to learn astrology, necessarily, but the next think you know, you’re learning it.
So back to me, I see all these pieces and no time to put them together BUT. But it does not mean I won’t lace and interlock them eventually.
Mostly, I am really happy about my life. I was dealt a very interesting hand and it’s quite an honor to try to learn to play it.
I love this topic. Thanks for bringing it up.
If I’m honest I can see I’m just trying to get rid of certain people so I don’t see them again. LOL. And quite frankly, I fail. I will continue to fail unless I work on this but really? I know I could keep working on it and fail and see them again anyway because I am not god, despite what Sag wants to think
My response may seem a litle off topic at first, but your topic reminds of an asian film I saw several ago called Afterlife. Here is a synopsis:
“What exactly happens when we die? Director Hirokazu Kore-eda paints an oddly low-key and mundane picture where the dead make a weeklong stopover at a quaint little office. After Life deals with one particular week, when twenty-two new “customers” arrive, and each one sits down for an interview with an employee. In this stopover, the dead are only allowed a single, specific memory from their life to take into the next, while they forget every other experience. The employees allow a couple days for the deceased to choose and recount their memory in extreme detail, and this one memory is recreated and filmed by the staff as a short movie to be screened on the last day of the week. After viewing their memories, the dead pass on to the next stage, forever reliving it.”
What is special to me about this film & its concept, is that each deceased person can only choose one memory that they will relieve forever. And what it comes down to for the deceased is choosing a memory that made them feel most happy, most complete in their life.
I love the thought of such a choice. Rather I finish everything I want to do or even live out all my dreams or desires, I like the idea that how I felt in this life would be what I would mostly take with me into the next world. It’s interesting to consider the desires of my heart, how I feel when I am pursuing those desires or living them out, whether it is through gaining knowledge or sharing knowledge, it seems to be related to purpose for me and connection. I feel more connected to the Divine, more at peace, when I am following where my intuition leads me. And I wonder if that feeling that comes over me when I suddenly feel good about the direction I am taking, is a feeling I remember from another time.
Seriously, I just typed out my response, and what happened? Errrrrr. It just disappeared on me.
Ok. Let me try this again.
My response may seem a bit off topic at first, but the topic reminds me of an asian film called AFterLife I saw several years ago.

I love the film because despite all the choices they ever made or didn’t make, inevitably, they all choose a memory that made them feel happy or most loved in life. I love the idea that I could transfer from this life to the next, the happiness, the love I have felt, and that above all, would be what was left.
It’s interesting to consider how I feel now when I am pursuing knowledge or sharing knowledge, or following where my intuition leads me. And even to consider what tends to make me sad or unhappy. And I wonder if that feeling that comes over me is something I have felt in another life– feelings comes back to me in this life to guide me, to say, yes, you know this is the way or no, don’t go in that direction, as feelings are certainly information, too, on a cellular level.
I was just talking about this with an old love. He doesn’t believe in any of this stuff though. However, I know that eventually ill end up with him again. We messed it up real good in this lifetime. I know there has got to be a second chance for love that good.
Yes; there are some topics that I know I could learn but probably just won’t get around to this time, but they’re waiting there for when the time is right. I say ‘waiting’…I mean those topics feel like pieces of a puzzle that is bigger than this lifetime. They’re just there to be put in place at some point. I’ve known them or will know them. Sometimes I’ve tried from a headspace to go into those topics, but it hasn’t worked because the time is not yet. It’s a coming to terms with what cannot be controlled. At the same time….I have a growing sense that maybe I’m controlling what I can access, in a way I’m mostly not consciously aware of. Perhaps this makes no sense. ![]()
And more and more I have memories that are not of this lifetime. This lifetime has felt a lot about clearing.
well, i know things i think i have no business knowing, so yes
moreso than knowledge, though, is skills. some things have come to me like picking up a bicycle again.

Ohhhhh yes I can relate. It’s funny–people speak of lack of ‘proof’ when regarding this kind of thing. There are some things that demand and inspire understanding on an intangible level.
There is absolutely no way humans have got to where we are, in terms of how and what we’ve created on the material plane without knowledge being dragged from one life to the next. Sure ancestors are important but you think they just die and that’s it?
I am trying hard to stay on topic but with all these planets in my 12th, it’s a challenge.
