Past Lives

[Autumnsong]

When I first moved down here to So. California, I was pretty lonely.. And then one day I got this random IM from some guy who lived down here, and we seemed to get along pretty well.
So after a few months, I let him call me on the phone, and he proceeded to tell me things about myself that I hadn't related to anyone else.
Not only that, but he gave me some details about one of my past lives.. things that he shouldn't have known, since we'd never met.

Then he asked me if I remembered a certain person from that past life, and when I told him that I did, indeed, remember - he proceeded to tell me that it was HIM.

Now, I suppose my belief in previous lives is a little wishy washy. There are times when I believe in them because they're the only explanation, but then there are times when it all seems weird to me.

So I'm not sure what to think about this guy, who has since told me that he and I were lovers in that life -- which matches my 'memory' of it.. But then some of the things he tells me don't match up.

He also tells me he's seen things in my future. That he and I are destined to work together again and do great things. Supposedly he Saw all of this in visions that were sent to him directly from a couple of deities.

I'm not sure what to think of it.


I guess what I'm posting this here for is to see if anyone else has had an experience like that, and whether or not any of you believed it when it happened.

Of course, ANY feedback on this would be great. And anyone who wants clarification on something, feel free to ask!

Thanks

Of course you should go with your instincts. I'm skeptical. If he knows you so well, maybe he should've forseen how creepy this would seem. It seems he's trying to assert a relationship that isn't there yet by bringing up past lives. That is, it sounds a little manipulative.

If you are really destined to be together - wouldn't it have worked out without him telling you all of this? I did have a fellow tell me something similar once - he also told me had four black belts, was a military secret op, and had met the devil and conquered him. Occham's Razor. He was probably lying. Or delusional. One of those.

Haha.. that's what I'm thinking. He seems a little far out to me, and I have no desire to be anything to him besides a friend. I just wonder how many people he's spoken to about the exact same thing.

I can accept the idea that he and I were in a past life together, but that's about it. I tell him frequently that it was the PAST and should remain that way, because if we were meant to be together in this life, we would have been.

He still insists, but less often now, and I think he knows that my mind is set.

So, we stay friends while he still holds fast to his 'theory.' It's all I can offer him at this point.

Back in the early 1970s I met a woman I had been married to during the Renaisance, when I was a clock maker, and also a LodgeMaster of an Order that was either the FreeMasons, the Rosicrucians, (or both). We both felt the connection immediately, but it took a few days to pinpoint exactly what it was.

The thing was, that we had already spent one whole lifetime together, and we didn't need to do that again. So why did we meet up? Actually, it was simply to touch base, since we both had very different missions in this incarnation.

You know, some of what this guy has told you, might have been culled from little hints he noticed in things you've said. That is the art of the conman. You *might* want to read this article I wrote called, The Hidden Agenda.

Be careful . . . he could be conning you. You'd be amazed the kind of stuff people can pick up from your expressions, words or body language. But I'm a paranoid person by nature.

Then again he could be sort of right abut the whole pastlife thing. But IMHO if it was a past life, it's done, over, gone. Unless there;s a lesson in knowing each other in this one, it's time to move on and leanr new things. That's why I get antsy with people who ignore good choices of partners because they want their 'soul mate.' That strikes me as being stagnant and never wanting to change or grow by staying with the same person.

And yes, I've had the experience. But in my case, my now boyfriend was someone I knew only briefly - he tried to save me when I was drowning on a ship in the Atlantic and he felt horribly guilty that he didn't try harder/succeed, so he's here now to take better care of me.

I have had similer things happen in my life, but it is me that gets the feelings.. {memories}but I always am careful not to let out to much information "just incase" until I know them much bettter, My PL stuff usually hits me out of the blue, like a flashback sort to say. I say be cautious but dont deny it either.. and so what if you were lovers inthe past doesnt mean that is why you are here now, personally I have found you meet up with someone from your PL it is to fix something that wasnt right back then, or to learn something from them ...regrets from the past I guess you could say need to be fixed before you can move forward :bumpsmili

I agree with being cautious. I don't tell him anything out of the blue, and when we speak on the phone, I'm very straightforward. He has issues with being egocentric and a huge glory hound.. The longer I speak to him, the more I'm convinced that the reason we've come into contact again in this life is 'cause I'm the only one willing it deflate the ego and make him look at things from a more level perspective.
Because I don't know him that well, I can look at all of what he says and does from an outsider's point of view, and I can show him the flaws or help him see all sides of the story before he makes a self-centered judgement.

Not to mention, when I'm in a bad mood, it's fun to tease him, but anyway... lol

I still won't accept anything but friendship from him, and I won't GIVE him anything but friendship, either. So I do believe I'll be 'safe' in that respect. He just needs to learn to let go of the past and work on the here and now. *nod*

Also he could have read some things indirectly from somewhere. If a person hacked into your computer he could have very personal files from you.

[Autumnsong]

well, except that I don't keep personal files on my PC for exactly that reason.. they're all on CD-Rs in various places around my room... o.O
It was a thought, though.

I just think he's trying to impress me.. He knows I'm not going for the whole 'lovers' thing any more, so now he's trying another approach. If I hadn't dealt with con-artist men before, I might have been swayed by what he's been saying, but I know what to look for and how to steer clear of it.

I'm just wondering where he got his information about the past life stuff, since I have no written evidence of that anywhere... o.O
