I'm interested in this, reincarnation and how it would be possible to hold thoughts and memories from the past lives. I mean as well as past lives, could it be reincarnation into animals? plants? who knows! I have often wondered the following - When a life departs at that very second, that very moment another life enters the world somewhere in the world and is it this EXACT moment when life departs and life enters where reincarnation begins .. or even at conception as someone leaves the world and a conception has just at that second took place the reincarnation begins - That is something I have pondered over and thought about if reincarnation happens. Once someone leaves the physical body they must then re-enter another physical body at some point but at what stage? conception from the start? or birth? or is it a waiting time in a void for X amount of time as energy until the time is right and then reincarnation starts?
My ideas come from my own mind and not readings on the subject or from religious standpoints either. I know all about us all being energy driven and the universe being the power supply, but how would a reincarnation begin? how is it that past lives can be remembered do we think? the soul still has access to it? or is it our mind remembering things from experiences in life and using those as the past lives? one would need to really be 'out of it' when reaching into the past lives and not aware consciously what is going on, otherwise the conscious mind sabotage it and is why in magic that the subconscious mind plays the key role in all undertakings ... its the subconscious mind in all of us that is either our greatest strength or deadliest weakness!
