Figured out my past life last night....

It makes sense to me. I can see now why different things happened in my life.

Nobody would understand but me. Just a **** ton of clarity.

Who's to say it's not real? I mean, the understanding is real, it makes sense and my life proves it to be true.

But, I have bipolar so everything I say is unreal and manic.

Problem is, I'm depressed.

Who's to say it's all fake though? Can't it be possible that if my mind can reach an unnatural emtional state that it can't reach unnatural states of other dimensions and understanding.

I think our illness [at least that is what they call it in this culture] could be viewed as making us shamans in another culture...and yes, we do go to other places and dimensions. I think it is great that you were able to figure something out about yourself with clarity. More power to you...

How did you figure out what your past life was? Do you mind sharing it? That's really interesting. I often wonder about past lives, like what is the lesson I'm supposed to be learning in this life, etc.

I agree with this. I have had similar experiences.

People aren't generally able to access "other realms" from the mundane state of consciousness. Usually when people have a mystical experience they have altered their minds in some way like fasting or chanting or meditating or being near death etc. We all just live our lives with our brains closer to the edge of it all and are gifted with the ability to have our minds altered as just part of our make up. I don't believe all of the stuff I experienced while manic is true. There is a line in there I think I can see. But I also am not confident that at least some of it is not "true" in some way.

Complicated stuff. I wonder how you will feel when your mania ends. I'd love to know.

I've thought often about the possibility of a past life. Then, if it's real, what did I do to deserve this one?

I don't believe you're punished for past life events. I think it's more there are lessons you need to learn.

I can't explain how it happened. It just kinda does, a flow of intense clarity linking events in my life together with other information I receive. I don't know where it comes from, but when it happens it all flows together like a puzzle that has been hidden within my subconscious.
Almost as if I've known and been receiving answers all my life, just been unable to put them all together.

It wasn't so much my past life as much as it was who I was meant to be. To explain it all out would mean putting my entire life story out there and trying to get others to connect the dots the way I was shown.

Despite the proof I was shown and the different ways I could help others understand, to go around and say I was my mother in laws aborted first child would be insane to say the least....

Or is it really? When the event of both our lives actually fits perfectly into the events that just so ironically took place after we met. Different prayers were answered and she finally got the little girl she always prayed for while I received the mother I always needed.

I may be in some kind of mixed state, but to deny what I as shown would be ignorant. Just because it can't be explained with words does not make it unreal. It just makes it unexplainable.

I heard all my life from my mother who is Bhuddist, that the Buddhist believe if you harm an ant by squishing it with your feet, you'll come back as an ant and be squished too, and every other thing that you have harmed. I'm not Buddhist, but I do try not squishing stuff.
