    Definitely.........
    Actually the idea of Jews perhaps being Gentiles in a past life is one of the major goals that I have for several of the discussion that I have going on this and various other forums.

    I wasn't joking when I titled this thread......
    The book that I refer to on pages 137 - 170 tackles the leading cause of anti-Semitism over the last eighteen or so centuries. From several major angles really........ .but the author is a Gentile in this life..... but was one of the Jewish disciples of Rabbi Yeshua - Jesus in the first century, (specifically Doubting Thomas).

    Your nomination for Nobel Prize in Literature?

    This is actually Rabbi Yeshua - Jesus teaching his inner circle of followers and what he teaches sure would fit with the writings of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov or his grandfather The Baal Shem Tov:

    They do play a role in those mansions that a rather famous Rabbi referred to......

    John 14:2 "In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you."

    'once you go black you never go back', so that eliminates one 'past life' race...

    If you've ever watched Babylon 5 it brings up one of the major objections to reincarnation Something like one quarter of all the people who have ever lived are living now and with all the billions in our burgeoning population soon to be actually exceeding all the people who have ever lived where are all the extra souls coming from? If they're created as needed why do we have reincarnation in the first place? Also, where do all the souls go eventually?

    A near death experiencer with a background from Iran was shown that there are Fourteen Elohim.......
    Seven male and seven female.......

    They are the speakers here:

    https://www.lds.org/scriptures/ot/gen/1?lang=eng
    She was shown that each and every human being at conception is given one of these fourteen Elohim.....as our over soul..... for lack of a better word for what it is..............

    This all seems to fit with:

    since there is no biological classification for race, no...our physical feature differences are nothing more than family resemblance combined with environmental adaptation...there are no races, we are a single specie and we're all related, the DNA evidence is definitive...

    Exactly. Races are a social construct. Our past selves could have been anything and it is doubtful that there was an real consciousness of what race you werel (nothing like the near obsession we have today). It is unlikely that the idea of what race we were was given any thought by us at all and certainly not enough to be remembered lifetimes later.

    There is a movie out where the configuration of our eyes is used to determine possible past lives.

    I can't remember the name of it right now though.

    I do suspect though that an aversion to certain types of food could indicate a past life as Jewish or Islamic:

    You might be somewhat impressed by the way that near death experiencer Dr. Eben Alexander deals with this topic beginning around the fifty two minute mark in this video:

    There is only one race. We are called the human race.

    What past life is that. Hardcore believers like you say that souls spend eternity in heaven or hell depending on how they behaved. This happens after life. How could there be another life for any soul since heaven or hell are eternal.

    Good question........
    I personally believe that we have some sort of "over soul" for lack of a better word for it...........
    so in a way you could be correct...... those other possible "past lives' really might not be us at all... .but could be totally unique and separate from us just as John the Baptist was obviously a totally separate individual from the Prophet Elijah........ even if John and Elijah may have had some sort of subconscious connection???????

    In a way...... resurrection and eternal life for us in our present form.... may make the idea of reincarnation somewhat irrelevant...... to each of us..... with the exception of perhaps assisting us to be somewhat more humble and empathetic toward some others????

    10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?

    11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.

    12 But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.

    13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.

    Do you have any memories of that culture itself?

    Or Deja Vu experiences of places there?

    Ms. Barbro Karlen had that type of experience when she visited the home of Miss Anne Frank.

    We were all Black at one time Dennis. Our ancestors were all African and genetically we are still each traceable back to that region. Yet knowing this fact, racism still exists. It exists because there are stupid people in the world. Some of them are racist. The rest are in Congress.

    Of course there ARE different races, Doug. Currently, geneticists believe, based on the latest research, the East-Asians (Orientals) possess the greatest overall intelligence (IQ's), and are the most evolutionarily-advanced. Right up there with them are certain groups of 'Russian' Jews, and a few others that have strictly controlled their blood lines.

    A fairly close-second to Orientals are Caucasians (White), and, last in overall IQ and other genetic development/evolution are those that are 'Negroid". Really, no surprises here. But, it is noted that the results change noticeably when there are large sub-groups of any of the races that undergo significant interbreeding with those of a characteristically more intelligent race.
