I was thinking on the subject of reinacarnation these few minutes past when it occurred to me that there’s probably no one looking for me.
What I mean is, in all my past lives I was alone. There was a dalliance in ancient Egypt (fifth life) which probably got me killed in a round about way, but aside from that, I can’t say that I was loved or loved anyone on a personal level. True there was in the seventh life (1100s) a Scottish Lord who I was particularly attached to (as his Bard) and I miss him dearly, but I don’t know that he would search for me through my lives. I failed him badly by being so careless as to get myself stabbed in the back by the interloper priest. More likely than not, he went on to resent my failure, and if he did seek me, it would not be out of love.
So it occurred to me, since it’s late and I’ve had a week off from work… plenty of time for deep thinking, that reincarnates find or are found by the former members of their soul-group due to some deep spiritual/psychological urge to find that missing member of their soul-family. They begin life seeking for their lost loved ones, but who would ever look for me? I’ve had no one and have been a failure, dying young and usually murdered, in most all of my past lives. Maybe I will be alone because I have always been alone, never forming the kind of relationships with anyone that would cause them to reaffirm that bond come the next incarnation. Maybe I am a catalyst, the changer, useful trickster that I am…
Does this mean I’m a complete soul… a bodhisattva like the Dali Lama? That I need no others to bond with for completion? This naturally leads me to wonder about being an “old soul.” What is an “old soul?” Some people tend to think it’s someone who’s been around a couple lifetimes, but what if it’s more than that? What if an “old soul” is a soul-group that’s been around long enough to congeal into one new soul? Does this mean I am to seek out new bonds so that the soul-group can grow again? No wonder it’s so difficult for me to make friends… Maybe my soul-group’s got discerning tastes. heh
I’m looking for a few old-souls to form a new soul-group.
I know of at least two people who I will be seeking in the next lifetime, whether they seek me or not… but I’d be willing to take into consideration anyone who wants to be included.

bodhiharmony..:Bow2:
you have been so much help to me over the last…many months.
there are so many things that happen as experiences in my life that I just cannot explain…and seldom share. It is a blessing to have found one who will dare to share….Thank you

i don’t know anyone personally who is into re-incarnation so i’ve never really had much opportunity to dwell on it. how did you find out your past lives? what brought you to seeking them?
Wow, this is fascinationg stuff and I believe in reincarnation too. However, I am not as well informed as you. Yes how did you find out about your past lives? And I wonder whta its like to be a complete soul.Thne again, I’d rather just find my other half…someone whom I could talk to and be close to as opposed to being complete by myself. If you have time, is there a website that could answer my questions about this subject.:) Thank you.
count me in, my soul group is lonely
Hm…since this is my last trip around, perhaps, when I reach the Other Side, I can see if there are others that belong with you…
I don’t plan on going any time soon, so it may not be til the next life, for you, but I’ll be sure to keep it in mind.
Much Peace and Love…GFW
maybe you are meant to continue in the life cycles until you do have that love..maybe thats one of the lessons for lack of a better term, you still need to learn (again, not the best word choice)
an interesting concept.. hmmmm I think I will ponder this for a few moments ………………………………
