[FM]: Topic 35 - Past Life Regression
I could say something cute, like ‘I was Mata Hari’ or some shit. King might try to say I was Lady Godiva or someone equally exhibitionistic, and that’s why I’m so uptight now only I’m *not* uptight, thank you very much. Truth is, I don’t buy into past lives. I was raised Catholic, and while I’m not a Jesus freak like my mom was, I believe in certain things.
Do overs aren’t one of them.
Life is a very precious, very beautiful thing. I honestly believe that...in spite of all I’ve seen, all I’ve done, all I’ve had done *to* me, I believe life can have promise. I believe it’s a thing of value, a gift...and I also believe it is that way because it’s so fragile and fleeting. The notion of coming back over and over again until you get it right...I don’t buy into that. It goes against everything I was taught...again, *not* a Jesus freak but that upbringing gave me a set of values to look at, and while I’ve looked at a lot of others? I like these...I believe in a higher being, and while I don’t necessarily think that holding a strand of beads while I talk to Him is going to help, I *do* believe if I talk, He’ll listen.
The idea of reincarnation takes some of the fun out of living, I think...life is sacred because we only get one. If we had a guaranteed shot at more than one, don’t you think that would make some of the victories and joys less sweet? Wouldn’t it make the hardships we’ve endured meaningless because overcoming them meant we’d only have to do it again?
I had no past lives...that’s my two cents. All I have is this one...and I’m doing my best to make sure it counts.
