Friends and Lovers

Have you ever wondered why you’re friends with someone?? 

Why were you drawn to that person?  Do you look alike, or so very different?  Do you have similar interests or lifestyles? The same kind of experiences?  Do you like the same music?  I never really thought about it much until very recently, when a new person was hired in our office, and I took an immediate liking to her. Since then we have become friends. 

After some time, I discovered that we did have things in common; that being dogs and photography. But why did I like her right away? I had no idea she owned dogs, nor did I know she liked photography. So what was it then?

Many years ago I heard a theory that every person, every soul you’ve met in your first life, will stay connected with you in subsequent lives. Yes, I’m talking about reincarnation. Before you scoff at this idea, read on with an open mind.

This theory states that you will meet these same souls again and again. Maybe not in every life, but the relationships will remain with you always. They may appear as male or female. They may be a parent or sibling in one life, and a casual acquaintance in another. Or they may be a distant relative in one life, and then become a lover or spouse in the next. They could be a mortal enemy in one life, and then your child in another. Regardless of who they are or how they appear, the connection will remain through the end of time.

It’s said that you probably won’t know who they were to you in the past, but the minute you meet them, that part of you that continues on from one lifetime to another, will recognize them. There have been a number of people, who I’ve met for the first time, but felt an instant connection with. It’s an interesting concept.

You’ve probably heard people say that they met someone new, but felt like they’ve known them forever.

 

Maybe they have.
