“Reincarnation: do you believe in it?”

 I know it’s true. I’ve done this before. Living and all. I’ve written about this before as well, back in my old LiveJournal. I’ve had many lives and I have impressions of at least the most recent past one. It’s comedy gold that in the most recent past life I was a catholic priest somewhere in the United Kingdom. Lots of wet, lots of cold, lots of cliffs. I also know that the people in my life now were in that prior life as well. The dramas that I played out in this life were strikingly similar to things that happened before. One of the best kept little jokes about existence is that human beings reincarnate and that gender is at best, incidental and at worst, accidental. Your soul isn’t male or female, your body is. You change those out like socks, except for the timescale, the analogy is quite apt, I think. So, in many ways there is no reason for me to fear death, there may still be an undiscovered country, but if so, this is it. Or it’s not and there is something new coming. The best part of living is that you never know whether you get to go again on the merry-go-round of life or if you get to hop off of it on the path towards enlightenment. Perhaps the path doesn’t exist and it’s all just hopping on and off the merry-go-round. I don’t know. But what I do know is that we all have done these things before, we’ve danced before, lived, loved, laughed, and fought. We’ll most likely continue this until we either stop or there isn’t any more life left in the Universe – or not. The best part of thinking about reincarnation is the “or not” part. It’s vital, I think, to allow the “or not” into your life. It lets you remain flexible when and where you need it.

So, round we go, all of us, once again. Dizzy yet? 🙂
