Do you believe in past lives and reincarnation?
I always thought that if there was something to reincarnation, then it might help explain why trans-people are trans.
For example, if you were a woman in your previous life and came back as a man in this life, perhaps you might bring along carry womanly traits from your previous life. Furthermore, if you were a woman in consecutive previous lives and then came back as a man, you might be trans in this life because old habits are hard to break.
Who knows?
If anyone asks about my past lives, I tell them that in my previous life I was a female singer in a USO troupe touring with Glenn Miller's band during World War II and that I died on December 15, 1944 when Miller's plane was accidentally bombed by the RAF over the English Channel.
Being female in my previous life explains my trans-ness in this life and being a singer during that era explains my affinity for the music of that time period.
My death aboard a bombed airplane explains the horrific nightmares I had as a young child. In these nightmares, I was in an enclosed place that started exploding and before long, I was exploding, too. Then, I'd wake up screaming.
I had that same nightmare numerous times and cannot attribute it to anything I experienced in this life. If reincarnation is fact, then maybe the roots of my nightmares are from my previous life.
Like I wrote before, who knows?
ReplyDeleteI believe that reincarnation is a real thing. If you believe that then we must have a soul that lives on after our physical body dies. This all points to the existence of a higher power that has guided and watched over us at some point in our history and maybe still does. The physical evidence is overwhelming. You don't have to be religious to believe in this. If you think of it scientifically then this higher power is an advanced extra terrestrial. Most of the universe is millions of years older than our Milky Way galaxy. Look how much we have advanced in the last 100 years. Can you imagine what our technology will look like in a million years?We can already manipulate DNA and alter life forms. I think that I have strayed way off course from the intent of your blog, sorry about that. I am a crossdresser but it is only a small part of who I am.
