Hi Steve,
It is interesting to note that, at times, meeting others can trigger past life memories.

One of the most difficult phenomena I have noticed about past lives is that we may meet people who have abused us or we ourselves may abuse someone else. The temptation is to continue in this pattern. If we ourselves can recognize this taking place it is best to gracefully extricate ourselves from such scenarios.
Ofcourse we are becoming more sensitive to the actions and non actions of those around us. A better term for what we often witness is> mistreatment. We may have to create distance between ourselves and others. We may notice that others have created distance between ourselves which is a blessing in disguise.
