| Yes, I have had feelings (not exactly memories or experiences – more like impressions) of familiarity with certain places, music, foods, with which I had no prior contact. My best guess for explaining such familiarity is reincarnation.
- How would you define the concept of resurrection?
For me, resurrection is rising to a new life after dying to a former one. Thus, after the death of our physical body we are born into the spiritual world – meaning that our "death" in one world is "birth" in another. Likewise when we leave the spirit world to reincarnate on the physical plane, the process is reversed.
- What do you believe regarding the pre-existence of the soul?
I believe that human souls have all pre-existed in some form. This does not necessarily mean that everyone's soul had a previous human existence on this earth. Some may have come from evolved animals whose animal souls have crossed the threshold into the human realm. Others may originate from other worlds. We mustn't limit ourselves to this planet alone in conceptualizing reincarnation.
As for me personally, I always had a strong sense of pre-existence even when the religious beliefs being taught to me said otherwise. As a child, thinking that there was a time when I didn't exist in some form was quite unbelievable to me. Thinking about when my parents were growing up, I felt sure that I existed somewhere or somehow – I couldn't accept that at that time I had no existence whatsoever.
- Are you a physical body having a spiritual experience, or a spiritual body having a physical experience? What for you is the difference?
The difference lies in the essence of who we are. I believe I'm a spiritual body having a physical experience, i.e. the essence of what constitutes "me" is spiritual. That does not mean, however, that the physical body is just an illusion or is not important in its own way.
J.P.A.
