I believe in Past lives, and get that when we are reincarnated we start off essientially as a blank slate.
What start off as a blank slate are our brain & memories (some still remember, but most not). I do think some skills start also from zero, if were not actively used in the last recent lives, however it can be learned very quickly again, e.g. foreign languages that were used to b your mother tongues in your past lives, you can just learn it effortless without going to courses in hours per week.
What I don't understand though is that if me and the person(s) in my past life(s) "felt" like the same spirit
I think u can't actually "feel" (physically) if those persons in your past lives in your visions are same spirit in your current life, coz my memory flashes always show couples and I'm having hard time to figure out which one was me, I just can not "feel", unless I just believe what I want to believe.
It's different if u experience & see only one person in your PLR scene, then u can say that was you. You will always amaze that you would never expect being born in other race, but somehow it makes sense for you that you are attracted to certain culture of other race, so this kind of "feeling" might be present.
I get that we would have differnt morals, idea's, skills, etc, because of enviroment and genetics, but when I die and enter my new life will I still be "me"?
what I have read & learned about soul & reincarnation is like this, BUT I don't guarantee the truth; I will just use my own metaphor to explain, let's use example the silver mecury liquid in a thermomether.
When the thermometer breaks, u can see the liquid break into small parts, so that's how the soul works, each soul has a higher self that always sits on the most upper part because it has fully perfectly evolved, so the little parts of the silver mercury liquid represents several consciousness "you in plural" that break & are assigned into different physical bodies to evolve, depends on its level of evolution, so when we die, we are again in form of this silver liquid, the part of successful consciousness that is able to move higher will join the main one (higher self), and the negative residue of our consciousness that is left in astral plane for example residue of anger, frustration, jealousy or attachment, these kind of consciousness fail to go higher, coz it's too heavy (the frequency & the vibration); thus, they can NOT join the successful one. So these consciousness must reincarnate again, either as one in the same physical body or broke into several consciousness again, depends on what they must learn on the next life. So this keep happening, until the soul fully evolved & gain the highest vibration & lightest frequencies to join the higher self. If the neg residue too heavy & the soul can't move on, it stays in spirit world to work on to let go its attachment & get prepared to reincarnate again. Often, the soul with traumatic death just have such strong neg residue of trauma of unfinished business that they just have the need to be reborn immediately & when they were drawn to the womb, they tend to carry their old traumatic memories as heavy bagage to their next life, so many ppl remember their unfavorable experiences in their PL.
I guess I just want to know my existance doesn't end and just transforms, rather then my soul being it's own thing only keeping my experiance and no real part of me when I die.
it is said our high selves are the creators; thus, need to fully evolve by reincarnating their imperfections into several souls/consciousness in different life forms or physical bodies, so we are actually one & inter-connecting. In other words, a bully in your family, e.g. Your bro might be just the reincarnation of your higher self's defective consciousness/soul that need to go to school to learn how to master the beviours such anger, aggressivity, jealousy, fear, etc. while you are learning to master other stuffs such as depression, melancholy, etc. So if we just try to think that you are actually me, or I am actually you, we would tend to forgive each other & accept our as well as others' defects & even help each other to overcome our unskillful mind. I think this is why we reincarnate, to learn become selfless, compassion to all beings despite of our races or other differences, radiate unconditional love to universe to heighten our vibration and fully evolve to join ourselves to continue creating & maintaining this universe.
