Amergin, I believe in the "love at first sight" thing which reminds us of those we have known in past lives...it has certainly happened to me in this lifetime.But some time ago I had this thought, that the reason we may recognize someone instantaneously and feel that attraction as love, may or may not mean we were his/her lover in a past life. Perhaps we "know" then because they were a parent, or a sibling, or an enemy on the battlefield...
It would explain a lot...
