Pros And Cons Of Remembering A Past Life

Conglomerate.

 

Conglomerations to you too

 

Con-glomerations are already in order.

 

Hip hip

 

The upside would be that hopefully things I might have regretted I would not do again.

The downside is I probably would do them again. Learning curves and all.

 

it is not memories that survive the long sleep (that takes no time to the sleeper) between lives.
each life, being so different from the next, it would do you little or no good if it did.

you might be a 'gray' in your next life, or in your previous.
humans and grays, are but two among the billions of sapient life forms, each evolved uniquely on its own world, and each uniquely alien to every other.

so much so different, one life to another, even if you could bring with you memory of all, it would almost all useless to you.
then infancy and childhood, most of us forget, learning to live in this world, whatever world we are alive in then,
whatever and however might have been things, even in our most immediately previous lives.

not all of us lose everything in childhood. only the self image of self as adult, indipendent and responsible, and a few odd quirks.
there is a patter of preferences, priorities, these are the character of our awairness, this is the soul, that makes us the same person in each life.

it is this, and not memories as such, that are our continuity, from one life to another.

never expect to have two lives in a row, on the same world, that is not how it works.
there are billions of world out there, your next and last lives, could be on any random one of them.

each as how people live and look, on THAT world. whatever world it is, each different time you are born, live and die.

 

These are not exactly the humorous comments I was expecting.

 

We actually were talking about that yesterday too.....what if you went to a life from 100 years ago but remembered this one? I'm totally investing all my money with that crazy Henry Ford guy!!

 

I would beg , borrow and steal and then put it all on the only no-hitter in world series history='57. Recently deceased Don Drysdale. (I'd have to be a little older than a baby, though.)

(I was a senior in high school)

 

Fucking people drop you on the head, slam you head into walls and when you try to get away form that you keep falling smacking your head on sharp corners.

It's the most pliable forgiving resilient state for entering clutzville.

They know not what they do.

 

There are pros and cons of remembering this life...



The stuff I would like to remember, I can't. The shyt I should forget, I can't.



You think having all that come back next life is an improvement?

 

Of course not. But the original conversation was pretty funny. This thread didn't go the same way.

 

make a serious post on hipforums, and you get a thread full of smart-ass comments. make a comedy post, and suddenly everyone's a philosopher.

 

Cool idea for discussion

Would be strange to have that second life, knowing full well the basics from your first.

If it were in another time period, I suppose you could have an entirely different experience!

But say you were born into the day that immedatly followed your death, and I think it'd be really amazing to love childhood as much as possible. Take full advantage of your freedoms there, the new family would be weird, but if you can connect so strongly to character in a tv show after maybe an hour or two of exposure, obviously a lifetime family will bond too.

What would be strange is your new person would be bound to be wired a bit differently with some new genetics, so you may expereince new understandings yourself.

Off topic, this reminded me of a thought I had where animals could be the reincarnation of human lives. And they're unable to communicate with us through our own language, but it's liike they can watch and observe from wisdom not that i believe that at all, just fun to think about when looking at your pet

 

well you could get addresses mixed up

 

I didn't know it was about this life...

 

same shit different day as a pro con on past lives

 

You might remember where you stashed all those pairs of shoes on sale you bought to cover costs in the future
buy now it will cost more latter

 

Or remember you forgot to turn off the burner

 

I've never been past life it keeps getting over on me dust myself off get gongggg
