Think that's because planes and helicopters have a tendence to drop things on unsuspecting civilians . I think you will find you are not alone in that fear .

Probably so. I've always wanted to learn about my past life though. I just don't know how to learn about it.

Knowing that you made some sort of mistake which inevitably led to your death in the last incarnation doesn't mean that you won't make the same mistake and die the same way.

It might be interesting for you to know, but if and when you learn about a past life, you shouldn't necessarily let it govern how you're living this one - In my opinion, there's a reason that your soul supresses that information from your current incarnation. What if you found out that the last time through you were Hitler? Or Jack the Ripper? Would you be able to keep knowledge that from destroying your sense of self?

Still just my opinion, though. ;D

The day people stop learning is the day they die. Life is one big classroom , from cradle to grave , a place learning is forever , some learn quickly some remain in the same class their entire life.

I wouldn't let it take over this life. This life is my new life and for new beginnings. Anyways what will happen will happen.

Who knows though maybe I was Hitler or maybe I'm the future new Hitler. :P

Luci, sorry it took me so long to respond. Had a busy day with my little girl at spiral scouts.  :) As for what I deem to be evil, I can really only site acts I see as evil, but they're pretty much common sense. I personally think what the Nazi's did to the Jews, etc was evil. I think serial killers are evil. Etc., Etc., Etc. I think you get what I mean.

I may believe that evil has it's own deity(ies) somewhere, but I do not begrudge those who believe otherwise. For me, the duality is kind of like the neutral part. A good deity may condone something bad, such as violence, for a good cause. Something such as defense of ones loved ones, while an evil deity may do or say something nice to trick someone.

I would say that one of the thoughts I had that led me to this conclusion was the act of purification and protection spells. I do not see me having to protect myself from the goddess or the gods and goddesses associated with her, so then who would I be protecting myself from? I know my thinking is very simplistic in nature. No one could or would ever accuse me of being a great mind, but I find the times I didn't follow my gut I ended up in a lot of trouble and the times I have, I usually fair a little better.

Are you protected by the God/dess , where are the bad God/dess . Same place as the good ones. Same ones . They are that which side of them you choose . They are neutral neither good or bad , they are what we make of them . The choice is ours , think of them as trail guide , we pick the trail they show us what is to be found there. We are the good , we are the evil . We are to blame for all we do ,no one else . Purification and protection spells are just to purify and protect us from ourselves . A vaccine against evil , but as in all things some are immune to the vaccine. We choose.
