I would like to see a study done on LGBT people with respect to past life memory exploration.

I bet there is a very high correlation between gender switches from the past life to the present life and LGBT tendencies.

There are, I imagine, other reasons that LGBT tendencies manifest, however, according to University of Virginia's thousands of confirmed case studies on reincarnation, ~10% of reincarnation cases involve a gender switch.

Perhaps equally important, University of Virginia's research has shown that case study subjects, regardless of whether or not there was a gender switch from the previous life to the present life, exhibited tendencies, preferences, phobia, affinities, etc. of the previous life.

A lot of transgender people insist that they've "known since [they were] a child!".

I think that's because they had past life memories with no guidance or support from their family or community to explain to them what they experienced and how to deal with that.

Nature abhors a vacuum, including a vacuum of understanding. Where there are gains to be made at the expense of others who wallow in ignorance, there will be scavengers seeking those gains.

Ironically, it is the Abrahamic religions objection to the doctrine of reincarnation that creates the very void that gave rise to the politically charged LGBT community that we have today.

Even Christ talked about John the Baptist being Elijah reincarnated but people will do all sorts of mental gymnastics in order to stay in line with fiat dogma imposed upon both Judaism and Christianity from approximately 66 AD through the 4th century by Rome.

Rome hijacked and redirected the Christ movement off course very early. They couldn't corrupt everything. They couldn't fully sweep up the tracks. But, they did do a damn good job. They basically caused the Dark Ages.

The propagation of information resolves that though. The internet is printing press 2.0 and is currently fostering a second renaissance...a new enlightenment.

Reincarnation strikes me as a method employed by the ego to comfort itself against the prospect of annihilation.

It's harder than it was before for me to believe that the contents of one human container is transported into another such container.

Far more intuitive for me is the idea that a collective un/conscious grants us access to the full store of memory before our own lives. Carl Jung and Stan Grof both have much writing that supports such an idea, and would help explain the idea of "past-lives" and their memories, even if reincarnation doesn't in fact exist.

My mind remains open, but always striving to question assumptions.

That's my two sats 🙂

I would be interested to have Jung and Grof review the research of the University of Virginia on this subject by Dr. Ian Stevenson MD and Dr. Jim Tucker MD and their collaborators.

Likewise, it would be cool to have Dolores Cannon involved in that discussion.

Obviously several of these people are no longer alive so that's not going to happen, but it would be interesting to observe.

I think it is best to review the evidence that has been gathered by the researchers who have researched the subject. If someone has reviewed that research and still wants to try to poke holes in the legitimacy of the doctrine of reincarnation, at that point, I'm all ears because they've got a LOT of explaining to do if reincarnation is not real.

It's an Occam's razor kind of thing. Like...how do I explain the known evidence one way or another? One way has allowed me to make sense of many things that never made sense to me when I was in the YOLO camp and again when I was in the agnostic camp with respect to the YOLO/reincarnation issue.

I think the research done into reincarnation and those who remember their past lives is very interesting. Lots of compelling 'evidence' on the subject, I find it very difficult to outright dismiss. I would say it's the logical explanation.

A greater or collective un/consciousness is coherent at explaining both perspectives, at least the way I have understood it. The body isn't a container for the soul, it's the physical expression/manifestation of the soul.

Yes, it's certainly better not to dismiss outright.

For me it feels like waves.

A wave on the ocean surface recognized itself as a wave for a moment before crashing back down. Although it really was a wave in that moment, it was also really just the energy of the vast sea itself.

Would you say that the same wave came back to the surface again later, or that energy made a new wave with the same substance?
