I doubt it. I also have a ring around my neck but believe that to be a part of the aging process rather than a scar.

you mean you didn't have the neck ring when younger? thank you for patiently answering my questions

Not what I recall. And you're welcome

this is all very fascinating, as Spock might say

I don't have any memories of a past life. I can barely even remember my own childhood sometimes. I'm NOT saying it's not a real thing but I have no reason to treat it like it is until I have some kinda proof.

that is a good sign IMHO. I think it means a fresh start lifetime.
I believe my childhood aversion to water was a carryover from my drowning lifetime.

guys u really scared me. i want to die and that's it. one life is enough.

i wonder if one's good/dirty deeds has anything to do with that?
also, what about parents? they change?

nobody has to reincarnate if they don't want to do so. you can stay in your level of heaven as long as you like. though the transmitted wisdom from on high, is that if you want to progress to higher levels, repeated incarnations are the quickest way to go about it, as hard as they can be. good/dirty deeds=karma. we incarnate much as actors take different roles throughout a career, sometimes as daughters/sons/fathers/mothers/uncles/aunts/etc.

^ very interesting, unique and a comforting belief. sounds like a reward system in a video game i'd love to play.

think of this universe, at least, as being one ginormous humongous video game.

The sitar player (and devout Hindu) Ravi Shankar was born with a mark on his neck which he attributed to his memories of being strangled to death in a past life.

To me it's a paradox. You do have another life but you don't. I believe that when you die you are immediately another fetus forming in another egg, be it a human, an animal or even an insect. BUT it's not exactly you. ''You'' will be another living creature, a different soul living inside a different body seeing the world with different eyes, etc. So technically it isn't you.

Ahh, too hard to explain!!

But I remember once somebody told me "what if your dreams are memories of your past lives, mixed up with your current life?" It made me think for a while, because I do sometimes dream of places I have never been to and people I have never met before...

But I like my theory better (post above this post).
