| I don't believe in past lives, so much as I believe in parallel lives/existences. I believe that time is a linear construct (Point A - Point B) used for reference...yet essentially everything is circular (It all exists as One Whole that "IS" timelessly.) I feel that it's just as possible to experience a Past Life in the next run as it is to have one in the Future. Furthermore, I don't necessarily feel that we all have the same game-plan....and not all of us will even experience a Human/Earthly life next, but we may not even go on to a physical experience. Different strokes for different folks.
As for karma...same applies. Maybe for some, yet i feel that Grace transcends Karma...and once that shift occures in an individual, karma becomes kind of obsolete.
As to why we're here....i dont think you can box and lable it...and again it will probably be vastly different for each person/spirit.
One thing I'v learned is that the "I" that I'm experiencing in this life, does not represent me in my totality.
I am but 1 facet on a much larger gem that is ME...which in turn is one fact on an Incomprehensible Metta-Gem that is " It"
In the end, I think the Beatles had it right..." All you need is Love" (and love is neither always, nor often Pink Fuzzy Fairy Kisses) Love to me is more a state of consciousness, and less of an emotion.
