Hello Steve, it rings true that we are not meant to tap too deeply into past life encounters with others, for after all, God allows us a clean slate - so that we can begin again, fresh. When I encounter someone I believe I knew before, I definitely notice it. If they are close to me in this life, I wonder if there is unfinished business - and I often feel extremely close to them - but in general, if it is a passing aquaintance, there is merely a general familial nod, and life goes on. I do not feel at all compelled to seek such people out. Do you? I figure if they are meant to play a role, they will. Sometimes it is useful for people to experience memories of past lives, but one can rarely be sure if these 'memories' are actually our own, or merely memories from the cosmic consciousness that we happen to identify with. Either way, if it brings growth - it is good. If it brings stagnation, it is not so good. I trust God to make the distinctions.
When you say that we are not sure if these memories are actually our own it leads me to to tell you about a personal experience. As a teenager i had problems wearing shirts because the cloth irritated one side of my chest. It became such an issue that my mother decided to resolve it once and for all and we went to our doctor who told us there was nothing wrong with the
right side of my chest .
Years later a woman and man came into my music store and having a hunch they were not from around that area i asked them what they were doing in the area. They told me that they were readers/psychics and were putting on a seminar in a near by town. i told them that i held astrology classes at my store and it would be nice to have them come. They said they would. While at the class i introduced them and they said they would be willing to do a psychic reading. No one seemed interested to volunteer so i did. They asked me if there was anything i wanted to know. i said yes could you tell me anything about my past lives?The woman was quiet and closed her eyes then opened them and said you were in the civil war and was shot in the
right chest and died. She also told me that i lived in India and was struck by a cobra early in life.
Do i feel compelled to seek out people from the past you ask. Shannon you and i have some past encounters. We are learning how to serve others unselfishly together and help each other in the process. This is evident in the Moon/Neptune combust (conjunction) position in our charts in the 6th house of service at the critical degree of 29 degrees Scorpio. Somethings are just self evident. Interestingly enough that aspect has Mars over it as we speak which is triggering this present encounter. There are other factors that signify this as well. Life sometimes
seeks us out in our encounters. The choice we have is to what degree we choose to participate.
