When you were a kid, did you ever think you were the reincarnation of some famous historical figure? I did, I thought I was Michaelangelo. Right about the time I read about the Agony and the Ecstasy in Time and/or Life magazine (I never saw the movie until I was an adult and it was on the late, late, late movie, we never went to the movies when I was a kid unless it was Disney and then that was maybe only once a year at that). I was probably 10, maybe 11 years old then. Before believing I was Michaelangelo, I thought I was Peter Tchaikovsky. I thought I was Tchaikovsky from the time I was like 3 years old, the first time I heard Waltz of the Flowers.
I think every child who dreams big thinks they were someone famous in a past life at some point. Maybe I am wrong, maybe it was just me that thought those kinds of things. Maybe other kids just admired their heros. I on the other hand thought that I had been them once upon a time.
I don't think that anymore. I still believe in reincarnation, I just don't believe I was anyone you or I have ever heard about. I don't even necessarily believe that every single person you meet or are involved with in some way is someone you may have known in a past life either.
I used to bother doing a meditative pastlife regression every time I met someone I was interested in to see if I had known them in past lives. I don't do that anymore. I just don't care anymore if I knew you in a past life or not. It's a matter of today, fuck last time. Besides, I had way too many encounters with persons from past lives that were not all that fabulous to want to care anymore. I don't want to know I fucked you over or you fucked me over in a past life.
Let's just live for today. Right now, today, forget about tomorrow, yesterday was a nice learning experience, ok? I can live with that, how about you? Btw, I did know you in a past life, I just want you to know that. I am sooo evil... <grin>
