Inspired by my other thread....

Places you have visited with a strange vibe http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/amiibeingunreasonable/4260839-places-you-have-visited-with-a-strange-vibe

No.

IsadoraQuagmire · 06/06/2021 19:43

Yes

toconclude · 06/06/2021 19:44

No

the80sweregreat · 06/06/2021 19:45

Possibly. (Although I don't want to come back once I'm done being 80s!)

Duchess379 · 06/06/2021 19:48

Yes. I was clearly a horrid tyrant in my last life & as a result I'm being punished in this one.

NiceGerbil · 06/06/2021 19:50

No.

speakout · 06/06/2021 19:51

I don't know.
And I am happy with that.

Pipefish · 06/06/2021 19:51

I don't know about past lives but I quite like the idea of coming back as a dolphin if that's an option

IHateCoronavirus · 06/06/2021 19:52

I want to come back as a cat.

Raindropumbrella · 06/06/2021 19:53

I neither believe nor disbelieve. I find the idea fascinating though and like to keep an open mind

Elphame · 06/06/2021 19:54

Yes - but they may not be in the past given that time is non linear.

the80sweregreat · 06/06/2021 19:54

Only if I can come back stinking rich (maybe. )
If not , it's a no from me for the next life.

@IHateCoronavirus

I want to come back as a cat.

No, of course not.

Chillychangchoo · 06/06/2021 19:56

Yes I believe we reincarnate many times. I believe we are spiritual beings having a human experience. I believe our bodies die but “we” do not. I’ve believed that for as long as I can remember and nothing would ever change that for me.

Due to my beliefs I do not have a fear of death, and I never worry that “time” is running out. 95 percent of people who know me don’t know my beliefs as I keep them to myself. I’m sure there would be many who would think I’m bat shit crazy!

And even if it turns out not to be true ….. it was a nice thought 💭.

LuckyLuckyWoman · 06/06/2021 19:57

No idea, but if so I hope it's better than this one :(

Oh yes. Despite being rescue cats my animals have a wonderful life.
Big garden/woods out the back I work from home so they can choose to be outside or in at their leisure. Lots of sunny places to sleep, ample food.

I was once told by a medium that I had a past life, he gave me the name and I died in my twenties in a town in Wales.
He also told me that a little spirt girl and gave her name, was in the house I grew up in and wanted to be around me.
I would have taken it all with a pinch of salt but I saw a little girl in that house when I was about 12. Clear as day stood in the dining room looking right at me.
My dad saw her too once in the middle of the night, told me his story before I told mine so he had no idea what I had seen.
Makes you think!

osbertthesyrianhamster · 06/06/2021 20:00

No

BorisKilledMyHusband · 06/06/2021 20:01

No

BreakingtheIce · 06/06/2021 20:02

Yes.

hennybeans · 06/06/2021 20:04

Yes, but not in karma as such or that we can be animals.

A person's body/ spirit/ soul is energy and we know in science that energy never disappears, just transfers or moves around.

lobsterkiller · 06/06/2021 20:05

Not sure tbh. I dont think if it exists that i want to come back for another go.

Chocolatier9 · 06/06/2021 20:07

I hope not. Once is quite enough

the80sweregreat · 06/06/2021 20:08

@Chocolatier9

I hope not. Once is quite enough
😀 It's exhausting thinking we might have to do it all again isn't it? Had enough of this one already ..
