I saw an Italian comedian in Sydney a little while ago. He was talking about his mother who, in turn, was talking to a rather snooty, wealthy woman she met at a function.
Woman: My husband is so rich that he buys me a new car every year. Mother: That's a-nice. Women: Every time I grow tired of our house he buys me another and we move. Mother: That's a-nice. Woman: I went to a finishing school in Switzerland where I learned to be a lady. Mother: That's a-nice. Woman: Where did you go to school? Mother: I went to St. Anne's Catholic school. Women: Really? And what did you learn there? Mother: I learned to say that's a-nice when I really want to say bullsh1t.
Nobody yet. Still, such claims have been made. Normally I'd be with Glis and say, "That's nice." Bit I've heard a couple of odd stories that need a little more attention.
Always good to keep an open mind. Of course, being able to describe it neither proves nor disproves the experience. It may be real or it may be a hallucination.
If this were a person that doesn't believe the same as I (and I do entertain the possibility of a form of reincarnation), then I would not add to the conversation.
I would only listen and agree.
My friends that believe as I do will discuss reincarnation, but in specific ways.
Many people discuss the subject lightly. That can be a waste of time.
I take your point though I think that an element of "lightness" can stop any conversation from bogging down ... especially when the subject is one where nobody can justly claim to know the answer. :)
I had a teacher in high school who was certain she had a previous life. She had a big rubber tree in her classroom that she claimed was her sister who died in her teens. I guess all lives do not have to be in human form.
