    Just so long as you understand that this is entirely bullcrap and unscientific, and that your beliefs are therefore without merit. Your website author's idea of evidence is also absurd; people bearing a superficial resemblance to one another in no way "proves" reincarnation. What can be studied and identified is genetic expression. We all carry the same genetic information, but it is expressed in slightly different and unique ways in each of us. Why the hell should people not bear close resemblances to one another once in a while? It indicates very similar expression of very similar genetic information.

    Was I still bald in my past life?

    Downs Syndrome people all look alike. Maybe there are the same person with all re-incarnations taking place concurrently.

    I've done a lot of reading on this subject, but I've found just the opposite. They were peasants or slaves in ancient times and poor farmers in more modern times. Many of the women turned to prostitution in order to eat. But I think if you could exam the kings and queens closer, they were peasants or will be peasants sooner or later. We've all also lived different lives as the opposite sex - something I don't want to do is come back as a woman. It's just too hard so I hope the female lifetimes are behind me.

    In my present life I'm an American white male. In my most recent past life I was a blond female--possibly American; possibly British or Scottish. In a former life that I can't date, I was a Buddhist monk, living possibly in Kashmir. To answer your key question: Yes, we incarnate into various races, nationalities, economic stratas, and genders, because that offers far greater opportunities for us to learn from a wide and diversified range of perspectives.

    I chose 'not sure' but I wont likely be researching it much.

    I figure its about like trying to prove/disprove God or nail down 'the meaning of life.'

    Its mysterious for a reason.

    But IF I was reincarnated, I see no reason to expect that it was from a caucasion.

    I mean, none of us are 'full blooded' anything. At multiple points in our lineage, we're all two different groups that conflicted with eachother, then F'd after getting over it.

    If reincarnation depended upon genetics, its been in full *ERROR* mode for a long time.

    In a sense you have a point...... because it is actually your over soul that reincarnates.......
    and you yourself become permanent...... but eventually G-d will show you about the past lives and future lives of
    your over soul that will assist you to attain an even greater level of humility and love for G-d and for others.

    If you scroll down to the heading The Truth of Grace.....
    you can read about what life is like in the afterlife for saints who make it into
    the paradise state.

    Actually very few say they were royalty. Most say the lived dreary peasant lives. But you have lived in different colored skin with different genitalia. you can't learn from one perspective.

    Extremely well said TrackerSam!

    Have you taken a look at the Barbro Karlen - Anne Frank case yet?

    I've seen short segments of several past lives under hypnosis. My wife has had memories of one particular past life since she was a child--including her name. In her 40's she actually visited the house where she'd lived in the 1850s and the structure was exactly as she'd remembered it. It even still had the old wood burning cooking stove in the house--though it was no longer used. Reincarnation is real, and we have a great deal of personal control over where & when we reincarnate. We choose our parents before birth, along with some of the major events we will eventually experience during that incarnation--though we never plan ahead of time how we'll respond to those events. Physical life is a blending of both physical & spiritual forces working together in an incarnation. Every possibility is available, and the variety of choices available for us to decide on are practically infinite. Every life & every incarnation is different because of those choices.

    Apparently you can be any race you want these days as long as you hate Trump.

    Shaun King was actually a white guy in a previous life

    What's not to hate? He constantly spews lies and words of hatred himself.

    I was shocked to find out he was a black guy mostly because every black person I've met was actually darker skinned than me a blonde haired blue eyed European. He is one of the few people I've seen that is actually whiter than me lol.

    I met half caste people when I was younger but apparently they don't exist anymore. It's black or black even if you're white.

    Does this swing both ways though? Can you be black but white? like Shaun is white but black? Or would people just laugh at you?

    How about this to confuse things twins to a black father and white mother are they both black?

    I've taken a look at the Anne Frank case on Youtube videos, and I believe she's for real. While no two lives are duplicates of each other, we do have same interests, or similar qualities or aspects that are shared by different incarnations. For example, many child prodigies bring complex talents into their new young lives that they actually learned in a previous life where they concentrated on that talent or skill & learned it well. I am personally well acquainted with a female in this life who has had incredible art talent since childhood. In a regression, she remembered being a successful artist in England during the 1600s. She was an art student under one of the famous dutch masters of that era, and became a highly successful artist on her/his own right (she was a male in that incarnation). She brought that highly developed talent from that incarnation into her present life today. Her art techniques are closely similar to those she/he used in that previous life. In this life she never took art classes. She came as a child prodigy and a natural. Another probable example would be Courtney Hadwin, a contestant & entertainer on America's Got Talent 2018, who is highly likely to be the reincarnation of Janice Joplin.
