Old Soul?

I went to a party last night and someone came up to me and we struck up conversation. She suddenly said, “let me see your eyes…oh my goodness….you are an “Old Soul” aren’t you?” Not knowing how to reply I said “Yes I am”. She said, “tell me where you have been” I surprised myself by saying “ I was a musician in Jerusalem in King David’s Court of praise…I lived on the banks of the Oban in Western Scotland and I lived close to what is now the Old Growth in Temagami. I beleive my spirit name is Waabaanakwad.” She was floored and so was I. When she asked if I have had an out of body experience, I said “Yes….that is why I have to wear glasses…haha “

This crazy little exchange got me thinking…..While I don’t believe in re-incarnation, I believe that there is a cosmic consciousness or connectedness in which we all share. Its kinda like an instinct thing or an innate access to source. I have been trying to understand why I believe I have had multiple existences here on earth. The best I can tell is that somehow, someway, I have access to the ancients knowledge or have access to the Spirit which reveals these things. Perhaps there is some DNA strand that passes ancient knowledge kinda like instinct does. Perhaps I and many others just like me, just have very active imaginations. Perhaps all this talk makes for a self fulfilling prophesy. Whatever it is, I can not shake these distant “memories” or thoughts of memories.

Why do I believe I was a musician in King Davids Court of Praise? Why do I smell the ocean and feel ancient bonnie Scotland in my being? Why, when I went on vision quest to Temagami, did I have the sense that I was coming home, or that I had been at that very spot before. I cried at the foot of the ancient three sisters (trees) and my wife thought I was a weirdo. When I crouch down to take water from a lake, I feel like I have been doing this for centuries. Why do I feel comfort to sleep in the wilderness with no fear. Why do I feel like the trees and animals talk to me? Why do I hear God’s voice talking to me? Why Why Why?

I went for mental health counseling and was told that if I hear or feel things like this, that I am perhaps suffering from a number of different mental issues…..haha..tell me something I don’t know.

In the meantime, if you have any thoughts, questions or ideas regarding past life memories or experience, please chime in. There is no way you could sound crazier than me!
