It's weird to subscribe to the following:
Heaven
Past lives
Ghosts
Nothing

It depends what suits in the moment, perhaps due to being taught to 'have faith' and not question I got a little carried away and started collecting a full set of options.

I don't overthink any of them (ha! That's a current ha, separate from the theme, a more generalised ha - let's tie it in, I've probably done a ha like that in every lifetime - if that's a revelation then I'll adjust it to fit aha! Told you - well practised).

Past lives are fascinating for someone like me who bonds quickly but infrequently. Kindred spirits pass through my space but I narrate many a tale of how they don't really like me, some insist they do and sometimes there's a vibe. I rarely follow up and there's a sense of regret on my part that I'm too insecure to put myself on the line as I spent too long trying to fit with the wrong tribe. My friends are the right ones these days, total acceptance of what I bring to the party but no clue if I've known them before.

What state of enlightenment do we achieve? I sometimes feel we revolve around with the same souls in alternating roles trying to get it right. You can feel a mother's love from a stranger, a connection with someone that elevates a friendship but why then do those people not always stay? That's a mystery... Temporarily entwined and mystical elements beyond the getting to know you but it evaporates. I can't explain that. (If you are hoping I'll explain anything I'll let you know at this point, these are musings - no answers and I've not even figured out the end yet - poetically so, as it should be... Unless this was about fate... Am I off topic? Ignore the bracketed bits if you like... Aww fate - a good idea that happily contrasts with equally held views on free will).

What about when world's collide and you feel held in a heavenly embrace providing peace? Yep, temporary. Shame that. Although it could be like the kissing a frog story, do you have to kiss a lot? I don't know - speed heavenly embrace and see which are more enduring?

I suppose what I'm saying is we déjà vu all over the place and it's confused body chemistry (maybe there's a pheromones side chat to be had, certainly resonance and frequency). We all like to be liked and maybe we like the likers? 

What's that line of enquiry? What's the point of reincarnation? There's no proof, it might be a myriad of other things, but (and here's a good bit) it can be beautiful when you feel that connection - fleeting sometimes, maybe that's the combination of fractions of memory floating round, difficult to retain. But I've felt I've known someone in the same instant as they've known me, with a vibe of 'I'll keep you safe from harm'. It makes the rest of the world disappear for a moment. Souls reconnecting with incomprehensible knowledge of belonging. It's real right then and there and it's out of body and out of mind just words uttered 'I know you' in the purest sense. 

Empathy seems to fit here, I looked into my family tree - I knew some of those struggles, felt certain faceless names more than others. I felt I almost could reach back in time to rescue one in particular - maybe they were me? That's a bit deep I suppose. I don't even have a handlebar moustache. I'm so sorry for that guy, more than any other name I found. I felt like I'd get an electric shock if I touched something he touched or stood in the same spot. Inexplicable emotion considering I read about hundreds of people, just that one moved me that way.

So who knows what I believe, all the things or none. Though I've felt inexplicable connections to people and places, some people are just more to me. We've tread the same ground and I just know it. Maybe I'll pop back with an edit but there's a soft embrace of knowing someone and a jolt of recognition that exists. The dog just had a good old stare at me then snuggled into my elbow - I think he's more likely the guru on this.
