Thanks for posting! It's interesting to hear new viewpoints!
How do you see 'deja vu' in relation to your rerun idea?
Hi Bets, and thanks for the warm welcome!
I'll try to answer some of the questions and ideas posted by all you kind folks as I go.
I feel that deja vu may be linked to my dreams and not necessarily parallel lives. For instance, the last time I had experienced deja vu I remembered that I had dreamed that particular moment some months before, and it was the experience of that moment that triggered the dream memory. Of course, I can't remember the full details!
Quote: IMO living on rerun plots for an entire life might get boring. You will have lived it once, then gone over it again in a life review process with your Guides, so living it a third time to might be a bit much.
I expect it's something you'll work out with your afterlife family in between incarnations. Just the fact that you would like to change it will be important as it shows you've grown since you did whatever it was you did.
Okay, I understand, but here's the paradox that I seem to have been given.
About 15 years ago I separated from my partner and we parted on fairly acrimonious terms, as I'd had an affair with someone else. It was one of those mad passions that has no logic and gave me three years of pain and confusion as I wasn't looking for another relationship when I met this person. It was a soulmate thing -I though that this other person was the other half of me and it was only whe n I read Shirley Maclaine's Out on a Limb and the section on p200 describing twin souls and soulmates that I finally understood and the whole thing healed itself immediately!
Unfortunately the damage to my partner was by then irretrievable and understandable.
Now here's the interesting part: when doing some past life clearing I was told that the separation from my partner WASN'T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN, that we were supposed to be/work together for the rest of this life together.
Since then I've got married again to a great lady who is a healer and homeopath and saved my sanity from all this, but I wonder if this is another alternate timeline that was created as a result of free will.
The whole idea of being able to rerun this life again and do it without the pain I caused my ex partner and to complete what we were meant to do together this time around prompted my original question.
Quote: Something you could do now without waiting for the afterlife life review is to 'speak' to your OverSoul/Guide about it and why you want to try it again. They like having the opportunity to interact with us and they have really good ideas since they know where we're headed to become all that we can be.
Aha! At one point in the distant past I was ready to end it all and I remember saying to them 'When I get up there I'm going to be so angry -I want to see the guy in charge and demand an explanation - I know you're never given more than you can handle but this time you guys have gone TOO FAR!!!'
So I got the impression they'd given up on me and gone to the beach for a rest....
Quote: Some of the more advanced souls can live several lives at once on Earth. Others can split and be in several places at once for shorter times. Since you are thinking of putting yourself in that situation, perhaps you are such an advanced soul.
Oooh, I'm not sure on that one! Me, advanced? I just blunder along as best I can, but it always makes me wonder why we end up checking out from this life just as we begin to get some inkling of wisdom. Then we have to start again from scratch and make a whole lot more errors.
I have regularly looked back on my life and all the things that I so much wish I'd done differently if only I knew then what I do now. It's when you're in the middle of an emotional hurricane, or at the end of it and surrounded by the debris that you think 'what the hell was all that about?'
So it seems to me that the forgetting when we're born loads things against us. Having some inklings might make it at least more manageable and then I for one wouldn't have caused various people in my life (and myself) so much pain that I now regret.
And this comes back to the Star trek link: one of the Next Generation episodes 'Yesterday's Enterprise' is about being on the wrong timeline and how to get back to the right one. Every time I viewed this for several years it made me cry and even now I feel a tug. That message speaks to me at a very deep level and I don't know why.
So that's why I posted the original question. I feel that maybe I'm on an alternative track to the one originally planned for this lifetime. Am I incorrect in this?
Thanks for your warm welcome folks,
Best wishes,
David.
