Have you existed before this life? Reincarnation? Past life? Some other form of existence?
Or did you only come into existence during this life you have now?
I want to hear your thoughts.

I have never personally had that feeling or memories or other personal indications, but from other research I definitely believe reincarnation to exist.
Again, this is not a feeling, but there was an incident when I was about 5. I was at my grandmother's house and she had made me oatmeal. I had a habit of eating it in this very unique, idiosyncratic way. My aunt walked in about that time and my grandmother asked me, "Who taught you to eat oatmeal like that?"
I thought it was a totally odd question and said no one had. My grandmother then turned to my aunt and in a low tone said something like, "My brother, your uncle, ate oatmeal like that, and he's the only one I've ever seen do it." That great uncle had died before I was born.
The point is, my grandmother's tone of voice was so completely out of character for her that I remember it these many decades later. She seemed a bit "spooked", if you will, and I never once heard her talk remotely like that any other time.
Maybe you are only reincarnated through your own bloodline and that's why characters in the bible were always so big on having more descendants than the sands of the sea.
Man I hope this isn't true. The bloodline where the part of me one might consider cool is now extinct. Only the kidnapping NPC side left that I somehow escaped, but it cost me my daughter involuntarily. Life is so fucking weird.
This is a super cool story, thanks for sharing it primate98
I haven't studied it, but from all the reincarnation cases I've heard casually over the years, only a tiny minority seems to have any relation to their former family. It's not even described as a "feature" of reincarnation, if you know what I mean.
There are, though, a number of extremely intriguing cases involving, say, a stillborn twin or an aborted fetus that is later born to the same mother.
In the case of the twin, he was fighting with his older brother and he told his mother that he blamed his brother for not hanging on to him in the womb in his former incarnation.
I mean, these are stories you can't even make up!
