In the Past....

In a random thought, I began to think deeply on why do we get along so well with people? Why do we see things and become enticed by them? Why do some things just cry out to us as if we've been there or done it before? Did we have past lives? And if we did, then who were our friends? Who were our lovers? Who were our family? Well, one idea occured to me, and that idea was what if the people you were close friends with, were in your past lives, lovers or spouses? I thought this because there's always people you meet and become friends with and even though the two of you aren't dating, you both mutually share a deep connection that's hard to describe or put a solid definition on. You know each others likes/dislikes, you know how the person thinks and can finish each others thoughts. But most of all, there's such a high attraction there that the two of you could rip each other apart. However, the one thing that stops you, if not the key understanding that it could only remain friendship to not confuse the emotions and lead each other on to something drastic, is the fact that one of you isn't single and are respecting the relationship(s) present. But wouldn't it be weird to just even wonder, that in the past, your closest friends could have been your girl/boyfriend or even your husband/wife? Or maybe even one of your family members? Or maybe the genders was switched. Maybe you weren't the man but the woman and vice versus. No one can honestly say what truely happens after we leave this world and move on from here. But one thing is for sure, life goes on, both in this world and the next. But is there truely a sense of rebirth? Because it has often been known for history to repeat. So does this repition come from the repeated souls being entered and leaving this world? Or did it come from the repition of making similar like souls. So while it wouldn't actually be you but someone just like you. This could then indeed play into the belief of there being a twin to everyone or a parallel like world created by the different possible decisions you make everyday. So then maybe it's not a past life that we feel but a shared sense of emotions coming from the crossing over of different alternate universes. Like in this life, I'm single and in another, I'm with a close friend from elementary school, in another, I'm dating someone I met in college, etc, etc. So the link between me and my other alternate clones come through the source which is me. But while this post will never go past philosophy and idealistic thoughts, it is definitely safe to say, Only God knows.
