My fascination with Atlantis and Lemuria have also made me wonder. Perhaps the time of Christ as a martyr and as a eunuch in another period.
I'm very interested in Atlantis too, some very elaborate theories out there. Quartz crystals I tend to like as well for some reason, which one theory suggests they used very large crystals to create energy for various purposes.
I suppose you could link interests/feelings with past lives or past experiences, however it seems something more than that, my limited knowledge, sure, can envision a past life, but maybe it is something more that I just cannot understand, yet.
For example I really like curry vegies with rice, I mean one of my favorites. I had a monk from SRF tell me must've been from India in a past life. Sure possibly, (I have a hunch he heard that from someone else as I did), but it might be something that is not in a dimension that we relate to, like a physical past incarnation, I think it's a connection to something that encompasses much more than that, I just don't know what it is.
There is always more then one way of explaining things SI. When you have a deep interest in something and it keeps returning to your consciousness often an explanation eventually appears. Seek and ye shall find. Knock and the doors will be open.... a bit like that.
