An art patron in Babylon
In mine i was a priestess of avalon
a female knight in the medieval european period...survived the black plague!! !
the lover of a WWI soldier...he died in combat
a beatnik in post war europe

i like to imagine myself as a starship captain or even admiral in the future...form fitting suit and all...

A fantasy life may be healthy, provided one does not become so deluded as to believe those fantasies are real.

In a previous life I was a blackwing seagull and I s**t on cars and people. It was a very satisfactory life, especially when the herring were running thick.

In my past life I was one of those cars. I have this great urge to get even.

The concept of getting even never appealed to me. I have always preferred to be odd.

In order to get even one must be odd, but not necessarily prime.

A psychic once told me that in a past life I lived in New York City, and I'm destined to go back there to live. I hope that's true.

Unfortunately the situation usually becomes irrational.

I was born in New York City, grew up there, and am now very happy to live in Helsinki.

it's impossible to tell if it's not just self-suggestion.

If I had a past life I probably had more than one. I'm just hoping my next life suits me more than this present one. -_-

This business of having past lives you can't remember is one of the most insane twists of human assumption I have come across. World populations have multiplied so much over past centuries we must assume that about four or five people inhabited the same people at the same time in the past and as we progress further back the number of people with multiple personality disorders must have been tremendous.

It ain't just people, though, animal souls count as well.

Aha! Animal souls. So perhaps I was a seagull with diarrhetic problems after all. But if animals have souls, why not plants? Of course innumerable people must remember being rats or mosquitoes or paramecia but does anybody have clear recall of being a cabbage or a mushroom or, perhaps for grandeur, a sequoia? Do bacteria count? There's loads of room there for people except there are so many of them there must be some without any souls which makes them lousy conversationalists.
