Was going to save this topic for the weekend for a bit of fun, but I can't wait. Going to Oggie Land soon, but this may make waking up tomorrow a bit more fun. Impetus to rise again, you know ?

Reincarnation... but as what ?

Well, I can think of a lot of things I'd like to come back as in the next life, but I fear that I, with the luck I have had lately, am doomed to come back as an alcoholic woodpecker. Now, there's a tomorrow mourning !

Sooooo, what do you 'Cats want... or fear... to come back as in the next life. Or what past life wrought this one ?

Someone I know once had a long and interesting conversation with a whale who was taking a lifetime off after having ben a successful but hard-drinking artist. Whales have a sort of interesting life, not too much stress, plenty of space to roam in, adequate food, and not much to worry about except noise pollution. On the other hand being a hawk has always appealed. But in general I think people come around again as people as long as they're still able to, and not too able to.

Human is attractive, but not when they kill babies over religion. Tree would do, but not in a threatened rain forest, or an Elm with Dutch Elm Disease.

Otherwise, a cat or a flying thing. I've got an affinity for crows, but seagulls are better flyers.

"Or what past life wrought this one?" Whoa, gnu. Great question- and one I don't think I'm ready to face. What are your thoughts on it for yourself?

I agree with Lyrical Lady- if I come back as an animal (Sorry, Amergin- I believe we do choose, or rather, that the answer is obvious to us at that time) I would choose to be a raven. I like eagles but they are far too arrogant and royal to suit me. Ravens, on the other hand, say, Isn't this fun??!! Or at least, interesting, and that may be enough. (There is a curse that goes something like: May you always live in interesting times.) So maybe it isn't enough- but I'll try it. After all, we're talking 30 years, tops. *G*

Date: 28 Mar 01 - 08:48 AM

Here's a great song about past lives...it came out when I was 6 years old...simply one of the greatest songs ever.

The Highwaymen

I was a highwayman
Along the coach roads I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
The bastards hung me in the spring of '25
But I'm still alive...

I was a sailor
I was born upon the tide
With the sea I did abide
I sailed a schooner round the horn of Mexico
I went aloft and furled the main sail in a blow
And when the yard broke off they say that I got killed
But I'm living still...

I was a dam builder
Across a river deep and wide
Where steel and water did collide
At a place called Boulder, on the wild Colorado
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
They buried me in that grey tomb that knows no sound
But I'm still around...

I'll always be around, and around
And around, and around, and around

I fly a starship
Across the universe divide
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain...

And I'll be back again, and again
And again, and again, and again...

I suppose I will continue my evolution on learning to be a healer and I would like to use my words and musical ability even more so for such. If I had complete freedom to choose without thinking of the karmic ramifications or mis-direction it may cost, I would like to be a large wild cat with guarantees of living well and free.

As it is, there is always work to do and I suspect when it comes time to make the choice I will ask the gawd of my heart what is for my highest good and choose that, warts and all. I would hope this would include getting together with some *ships in the night* from this lifetime, people I'd really like to know better and/or be with more.

BUT, the idea of taking one lifetime span off to go swim as a dolphin, or fly like a red-tailed hawk, or run like a wolf has definite attractions!

I was almost attacked by a golden eagle once. My buddy Will and I were hiking along a very narrow, high ridge up in the Cascades by the American River. As we got near the end we heard this very loud noise that sounded electronic, like the beep of a video game (this was about 1983), but much longer and louder. We couldn't tell where it was coming from at first, but eventually we saw a huge, beautiful bird diving at us, and screaming.

We had decided not to go all the way to the end of the ridge after all, and doubled back double-quick, and dropped down a 25' cliff face on a rope to get out of the eagle's territory.

Great memory. Beautiful bird. Excellent cardiac exercise too, to realize you're being warned off by a huge bird with really big talons, not to mention beak.

Mattobo, where the hell is the "horn of Mexico!"? I think that guy should have his poetic license suspended!!

As for past lives forming later ones, I think it isn't always a dramatic inheritance of your failures or some such, like being a beaver and then having to deal with the beaver's dams. Sometimes its just moving ahead on whatever long-term purposes you may have set. It is very clear to me that I was taken out of action by a large chunk of a (I think) boiler that become suddenly airborne during a naval battle or torpedoing incident and wiped out the whole half of the bridge I stood on. That of course is my best effort o put some kind of interpretation on images and memories a lot less vivid than ones from the current identitiy. Dunno why that is! We're such wusses about it!!

If you re-incarnate while still incarnate, you would by defintion be running two bodies. This would be a very enlightening process -- just imagine if you had to multitask, say, being a two-year old AND being a thirty-six year old without getting the duties mixed up. There's be bound to be some spillover, and we can only hope you'd end up being a wunderkindof a 2-year-old instead of a prematurely senile adult. There would be other challenges as well. For example, if you didn't compartment your own wissdom between the two identities you would have to go through grade school and put up with that kind of insanity while fully aware that it was absolute BS!! And suppose they were opposite genders!!! Your inner girl and outer boy would have no end of fisticuffs!!

Well amos, if me hanging myself would positively guarantee the total and immediate extinction of the human race, I'd do it in a heart beat...

Have you seen the CRAP that humans have done? And don't try to sell me on all the 'postive' stuff... that's but a drop in the bucket...

I understand. At least some. I've seen a lot of crap humans have done. On balance, I have to add I have also seen a lot of good humans have done. Maybe the job of conscious lemmings is to try to turn the tide....:>). ANyway, don't be hard on yourself for being human. First of all, it won't open the door to handling anything in particular. And second of all, you didn't get to fill in an application, anyway!

Regards,

A

Of course, there's always the possibility that I'll come back as an hydrophobic ( sp ? ) beaver. Dam !

I don't beieve in physical reincarnation, but I do believe in psychic reincarnation. I should. I've been through enough of them.

If I could come back as anyone/anything it would be me with all my hard-earned consciousness intact in a family and community who loved and supported me from the start, and with much more time and money to devote to learning and playing my instrument(s)and sharing with others.

If what Mr. Amos said about incarnatin and reincarnatin was so and Mr. Clinton done that so there was two of him, It looks like it would be possible then for him to go **** himself.

Wouldn't you think?

SHore 'nuff, Mister Spud. Mosta mah alco-lights are strivin to attain this hyar high POW-wer purely for that there very purpose. See thet way, they never got problems with CON-sent nor no headaches an' so on. Hit does put a whole new light on the notion of playin' with oneself, ah reckon!!

I have no choice in the matter. I hear you reincarnate into the being you most consumed. I will come back as a lobster. God knows I caught enough of them in this lifetime. I wonder what that will be like? I guess I will have to avoid those quaint sushi-bars.
