So i was reading Be Here Now... when a huge thought came twirling through my mind.. and that is.... do past lives experience subconciously follow to your next life... like say you are affraid of heights... could it be because in a past life you actually died of a fall.. or had height problems? like fell from a tree or such... afraid of water? did you drown in a past life? Gay/Lesbian... was it that in your past life you were a woman.. so you believed the male form was attractive.. you're born again into a new body of the male form this time.. from past life you were attracted to the male form... these feelings subconciously follow... and now you are a thinking you are attracted to the male form... yet now in a male body?....
I could be wrong (self doubt if so prominent) but...I think that this is covered within Hinduism. 'If' I remember (and understood) right Hindu religion believes that it goes something like this. The first part of self is the Spiritual self, the objective of this self is to learn and develop into a higher being so it takes on life. This life brings with it the Emotional self, the Mental self and to hold it all together, the Physical self. So life begins and in this life events happen that change/develop the spiritual self. Some good, some bad...Either way, life ends for the physical self genrally within 80 years. However, all of the experiences from within this life are connected to the mental, emotional and spiritual self and until such a time these experiences are understood and issues resolved, life repeats itself (an ever increasing circle maybe). Once the spiritual self has developed to a point when it understands all of the exeperiences it has had it is ready to depart from this world for ever more. So, if this is true then I think the answer to your question "do past lives experience subconciously follow to your next life" has got to be yes...
that would explain all the things that people don't know the cause to like multiple personalies and stuff like that. but its weird think that you'll start a new life over with no memory of past ones. actually, if you subconsiously remember some past experiences, i wonder if you can find a way to consiously remember past lives.
