Past lives and bad things

[wingedwolf-2004.livejournal.com]

A few, if not all of our System, have vivid memories of past lives. Edward remembers working during the time of the Third reich in Germany on clocks or weapons (he cannot define which one), and also of being a Victorian gentleman. Toby, Alexander and Victor however have memories of bad events and circumstances. Toby has memories of raping a girl and commiting suicide, and Alexander believes he has murdered, and was brutally punished. Just to let you know, none of us are Christian, so we do not believe in Hell, or Heaven.

These memories cause nightmares and personality flaws/changes within people in this system. They are constant, and system members believe strongly that they are real. We all believe strongly in karma, and think that the reason that some of us are 'stuck' into this one body is a sin in a past live (muder etc) We beleive that this life is used to 'correct' these mistakes.

We do not think that these past lives are nessercaily those of this body, as Alexander remmebers a different world (or time) from this one.

What do you guys think of past lives, and its associations with multiplicity?
