Hey Bob,

I started this thread & I don't know if it entitles me to any sort of ownership? but I have no objection to you "hijacking" it   Thats how conversations go - from the general to the particular & all over the place following an idea - its what makes things interesting.  So feel free    if I don't like anything, well I always have the option to "hijack' the thread right back.
If I could say one thing thou - if Kate is sitting on a fence?, its because that's what she wants to do.  What little I know of her tells me that not only is she good looking but has a powerful & insightful mind as well, she can make her own mind up

Yes Rana !
thats Kate, a powerfull mind and that is more than likely half the problem !
she is thinking TOO MUCH ! <grin> hehehehehe
but all kidding aside I realise she can make up her own mind and is doing what she wants to do... Kate is an exceptionaly wize person and as such I know anything I say is nothing she hasn't already considered already, so my words are a mear Pep talk to her and that is all.
I have found when dealing with exceptionally smart people that I realy cannot compete with their brain power in the least... but I make a great "sounding board" for them to bounce ideas off so to speak...<grin>  its strange at times but I find the simplest soulutions are the most direct ones, in emotional problems and in mechanics and in life in general. thats just how I operate....
short, direct and to the point is just how I do things usually,  I mean no disrespect or harm in any way. to me it is "better to pull out the sliver fast than slowly !" <grin> this method does get me Smacked sometimes by the wife though who thankfully has a might bit more tact than I could ever employ !

i dont know what i should believe. Are there past lives? maybe. who knows.

i have never had past life experiences as far as i can remember, but once the only friend i came out to told me to make a pofessional horoscope with her aunt. Well my friend did tell her aunt that im thinking of transitioning, so she would make the horoscope for free. I didn't know if i should believe it but a lot of things she told were coorect (it was one of those fancy horoscopes with the birthdate birthplace etc.). At a certain point she asked if i believed in past lives. She started talking about that in most of my past i have been a woman. Also that we had a mission in life and upon completing our souls would evolve or something. Anyways my mission this life would be to live a life as a man to completely become a man in next life... Right, im not ok with that and i dont know if she just told that so i would stop wanting to transition.
Well thats as far as i got in touch with past lives

Thats a very interesting thing that you brought up Anaya !
do past lives effect the present life ?
I think they have a profound effect !...
My Kid a TS has told me on many occasions that in her past lives she was indeed Female.  this time around she was supposed to be male, supposed to learn what its like to be male... and quite frankly doesn't like it very much at all.
.... so it may well be at the hart of the TS ishue !
I have tried being female in past lives, I didn't care for it , though I loved the body I hated what socioty did and that one life in piticular was cut short
and I have been male every sense. granted all I have to substansiate these clames is feeling... so it may well be sand in the wind !
....
  However if you look at it from My Kids point of view it makes alot of sense
...
though I caution worrying about this too much as it can complicate your life very quickly , and do strange things to your thinking, not all good !
for instance, it could well lead to a split personality syndrome if your mind believes this is a good thing.  I don't know this for a fact but I suspect it is possable.
  Your Grasp on reality, the here and now is far more important than what happened  in the last life, if there is such a thing... I believe we are sent back with no memory of the past for a reason, so that you may learn what it is you came to learn in its fullness....but only time will tell<grin>
"Live and Learn" thats a favorite saying of mine for more than one reason!

Hey Bob,

We are now hitting on a area that I would like to express some in, but don't have time. I am writing this so that it will come back up on the list for me tomorrow...I can never find a thread once it does not pop back up lol.

Peace, and talk with you tomorrow

Taylor

COOL taylor lets hear what ya been thinkin on !
.....
Bob.......

Hey Bob,

Sorry about last night but just did not have the time to actually write.  Anyway .... after giving it a lot of thought, and actually writing a few paragraphs which I have erased because they really are not needed..... this is the bottom line in my eyes... of course you will see how much else could be said...

  Past lives are connected to our identity, because our spirit reeks of who we really are, not our bodies. This effects the entire human race.  I could fill a page up on this very topic lol

Peace,

Taylor

Oh and I quite agree ! well stated !
now if we could get the body to connect with the rest we'ed have something !
but all I can get is fragments ! its flustrateing !
Bob.......
