past lives - past loves

I just thought about people we encounter in our past lives.
I wonder if we continuously encounter the same souls life after life, but just in different ways and forms.
Thoughts?

By 'thoughts', do you mean rational logical thoughts wherein we rip apart your whole premise,
or
Fantasical, imaginarial, wonderfully magical thoughts wherein we applaud the whimsy of your ephemeral premise based soley upon a drag of cannabis, an old book, and late-night boredom?
Of course, you could have meant something else entirely different, such are the rocky shores of imprecision...

I'd tend to think we meet new people and people we knew before... assuming past lives and reincarnation is how things work.
Myself, I have no idea anymore... not sure it matters, I would like the reincarnation idea to be true, but can't know til I die... and I'm in no rush.

Well its late at night and I'm getting stoned, although I'm not bored and I'm not reading a book, but I would have to think....
People place too much identity in the specific aspects of the life-form that they presently manifest within, as. Consciousness arises within us and we do not identify it manifesting in much else because consciousness is only known through experience, but the fact is that there is no true distinction that seperates oneself from one's environment, and it is interesting to consider the possibility that reality itself is conscious, and we simply experience it as an aspect of reality.
Consciousness likely manifests as result of interaction, states of existence, not simply just neural networks and being human. The nature of our experience here in reality is a great unknown that we too often obscure ourselves from being aware of by perpetuating the conditioning that has been carried on.
The answers lie within consciousness itself.

Aren't we simply projections of the sun? Emanations perhaps... We exist due to the energy of the sun. The sun is what created life, the sun is what evolves life. Seriously, every single occurence on this planet is due to the presence of the sun, every single variable in our environment that interacts with each other, to lead the course of this planet's history, and future, is carried out due to the presence of the sun. 
The sun is very interesting stuff. We know a lot scientifically regarding the sun, as it manifests physically, but that is not the extent of its existence. The answers to everything are in that star.

Dude it all depends if u had a past life or not
Some of us here are "first round" souls, that is living our very first incarnation.
Some who had previous lives of course shared them with someone. So if ur one of THEM then yes u can expect to meet other folks u met while living in the past ages.

What if you were soldier ant # 139,588 from colony # 12,554 in a past life, how would you recognize a fellow ant now in human form?

Why is Spirituality even in the forum name then, if we can't discuss anything unprovable?
Maybe we should change it to Philosophy and Psychology...

That's a fuckin great idea Middleman.    I'm serious. How can we do this?
Really one can debate anything here but it's obvious from the lead in that the origional poster has no evidence for his ideas. I'm a mystic and I know these things.

If we fragment the forum more and more, eventually each poster could have their own private forum of one - and thus no more disagreements ever (unless one is schizo).
Problem solved!

You just would have nothing to post about if you couldn't troll for true believers. This is really my attempt to isolate you from all the forums. (except OTD)

I approve of this idea as well.
Then we can put the spirituality back into mysticism.

We are not adding or removing any forums, we would simply change the title to direct the 'fluffernaut' noobs to the proper forum.

This would cut into my post count greatly but I think I could definately live with that.
I don't really want to be spending my time bugging them when I know it won't turn into a decent debate and they don't really need the hassle because then often their thread comes apart instead of getting the responses that they are wanting.
Of course P&P will become a much lesser used forum. In fact I think the Mystery forum might become the big brother.

I was a vocal proponent of adding "Psychology" when we were discussing this a couple of months ago, but I don't see a reason to remove "Spirituality" from the title. I also see no reason why this thread doesn't belong in this forum. He clearly expressed he was seeking whatever perspective people wanted to share, in a critical fashion or in a more contemplative one. Its not so much a question of what is discussed, but rather how it is discussed.
Adding "Psychology" to the title is an effective change that enhances the sense of what this forum is, but removing "Spirituality" is counter-productive.

I know this has been discussed thoroughly and passionately in the past, but we shouldn't remove "Spirituality" from the title. Adding a word helps clarify the atmosphere of the forum, but removing "Spirituality" might work to strip some of the charm that this forum is. This forum often seems like a collaborative exploration of the nature of reality, and spirituality, the experience of reality to a deeper degree, is a central theme.
Limiting the topics that are discussed will suck, but maintaining the distinction between how things are discussed in each forum is of upmost importance.
