Have you ever wondered why are you scared of something without any reason? Or have you ever felt like this particular event has happened before, I have experienced this earlier, however, it was happening for the first time. Have you ever dreamt of someone who doesn't even exist in your life, but that person comforted you so much in your dreams? Have you experienced something that makes no sense in your life, but you felt like it was usual for you?

Some of you must be thinking what nonsense were these questions? Well, it's not nonsense. I have experienced these things in my life. To confirm my thoughts, I asked the same questions to some people around me and the results were shocking. They told me various incidents and various stories they had experienced in their lives. So, one thing was clear it's not only me who have experienced such things. Okay, let's tackle each question one by one.

Is Re-Birth True?

Chapter 2, Verse 22 of Bhagvat Geeta says, "Just like a person sheds the worn-out clothes and wears the new clothes, just like that, at the time of death, the soul leaves its worn-out body and enters a new body."

This statement of Bhagwat Geeta proves that rebirth exists. It's only the body that dies, the soul is immortal. Re-birth simply means that our soul finds a new body and leaves our body.

If the soul is the same, then for sure somehow our past life is connected to our present life.

Fear of something without any reason.

I'm scared of dogs. Okay, what's uncommon in this? Many people are there who are scared of dogs, what's new in this? Nothing. But I love dogs, I want to feed them like my friends do, I want to hold the puppies in my arms, but I can't because, at the same time, I'm scared of dogs. Are you getting my point?

Other than this, I'm scared of heights, but at the same time, I want to do skydiving, bungee jumping, and other adventurous things. Normal people will think that it's so common and I'm overthinking about these things. So, it's for overthinkers and psychopaths like me.

I believe that everything that is happening in your life, somehow or somewhere has a reason. Like, maybe you have been attacked by dogs earlier, so you are scared of them. Maybe you met an accident like falling from a height and that created a sense of fear in you.

But what about the people who have not experienced such things? I never met an accident like falling from some height, or being attacked by dogs, or anything. So, why am I scared of them? Like how I may be loving something but at the same time I'm scared of the same thing without any reason?

I believe that somehow it is connected to my past life. Well, it might be possible that I had a bad experience with dogs or heights in my past life, and my soul is still not over that. Maybe I died because of falling from a certain height like a terrace or because of dogs in my past life. But in this life, I love dogs and heights. However, due to my bad experiences in my past life, my soul is scared of the same things. Since the soul is the same, just the body got changed, I experience such contrasting things.

This has happened before.

Sometimes, it happens that we live a short moment and feel like it has happened before. Though, we experience that for the first time, we don't find it new.

To give an instance, one of my friends told me an incident of hers. She was sitting on the sofa and scrolling through her phone, and she felt like an incident like that had happened earlier, the scenario was the same and something unfortunate would happen. While thinking she didn't know how she abruptly stood up from the sofa and as she moved from there, the ceiling fan fell.

She was shocked how did she know that something like this would happen? But at the same time, she said that she felt like it had happened to her before. However, she did not experience any such moments earlier in her present life.

Other than this, sometimes we simply come across some simple moments that we feel like has happened before. Like, you are sitting with your squad, you people are talking and suddenly you feel that you have something like that earlier, it could be anything from the environment, the talks or anything.

How is this possible? Maybe because you have experienced something similar to that in your past life, your soul reminds that, and you feel like that has happened earlier.

In the case of my friend, maybe in her past life, she experienced an incident in which something fell on her head because of which she got brutally injured or maybe she died because of that or luckily, she got saved. So, when it came to this life, her soul reminded that past incident due to which she predicted that something unfortunate would happen.

Unusual Dreams!

Have you ever dreamt of someone or something in a repetitive way that does not even exist in your life? I went and questioned some random people. Some of them said no, while a person said yes. He said that he often dreams that he went to a hilly region and fell from mountains. Sometimes all of us have weird and horrible dreams. But he said that he saw the same dream many times.

Maybe it was the reason for his death in his past life. When I said this, he was convinced and said that he experienced many unusual moments in his life that make no sense in present life, but he doesn't find them strange as well.

Another person said that he often dreams of an old lady who comes, hugs him, cries and asks him, where he has been for the last few years and suddenly vanished. He doesn't even have an idea who's that lady but in his dreams, he finds himself loving her. He feels like he has a connection to that lady, but he doesn't know if she even exists or not.

It might be possible that he was close to that lady in his past life. Maybe she was his mother who accidentally got separated from his son/daughter. Maybe he died in this separation and now his soul reminds him of his past life and the mother whom he left behind crying over him.

Does our soul instantly find a new body after our death?

Maybe no. It might be possible in some cases, but not in all cases. If a person dies naturally, due to age factor or any disease, it is possible that his soul gets peace and finds a new body. But in case a person dies accidentally or gets murdered, it is possible that his soul doesn't get a new body instantly.

For instance, my friend told a real story of her childhood. There was a girl in her village. She fell in love with a guy and her parents were not ready because he was from a different religion. Both of them decided to go against their family and get married. When her parents came to know about it, they burnt the girl. Since then, everyone in the village has experienced the existence of her soul. Some people claim that they saw her. Earlier, they believed that it was all just an illusion.

But it got serious when an outsider came. A person moved to that village with her wife. Both of them were newly married and they did love marriage. His wife claimed that she became a friend of a girl. She used to visit her often. But one day when his wife was attending a Pooja organized by that girl's family for the peace of her soul, she saw her picture and left speechless. She instantly said that she knew her. That girl visits her. Everyone else was and said that she died 4 years back. How is this possible? Her soul did not get justice even after her death due to which she was wandering in the village in search of justice. Likewise, many incidents have come forward that guarantee the existence of souls in their surroundings.

What do you think about souls, re-birth, connection between the past and present life? Do you believe in rebirth? Don't forget to share your thoughts.
