I note that you refer to these past lives as other people who are not yourself. In many cases when I hear people describe past lives, I hear them say "In this life I did this thing" whereas you describe it as "In this life they did that thing". How come you to think of it in this way?


I personally have no particular reason to believe I've had a past life. I sometimes wonder if instead I've had a future life. Or the same life. I know that over the course of time I feel like in my younger days I've received messages from future me. However all these messages come from "future" me who is younger than I am currently. This is somewhat disconcerting as I think on it.


On meditating about the possibilities of a past existence, I have only the faintest of glimmers and cannot guarantee that it isn't simply influenced by media.
