I don't believe in past lives either, for the same and similar reason. But some of what I believe is not from reading and from others, but from personal revelation and my empathic spiritual gifts. Some of it has actually been verified now by science. I believe that we retain the memories of our ancestors in our genes. That is why the Bible talks about inheriting sins from our ancestors, we also retain blessings and talents in our genes as well, as our personalities. It is known that identical twins separated at birth, and found later, are mostly a like, same personality, and often have the same color car, calls things the same names, has similar looking wife and etc. They figure 89 to 98 percent of our basic personality is inherited, but can expand or degrade with current life situations.

I used to have a great chiropractor, who treated and adjusted my body, emotions and spine with kineselogy, He taped into my genes and found ancestral events which were affecting me today. As a Empath, I have sensed my genes and found other things in my genes as well.

I am aware too of taping into other spirit's;s memory, and some larger universal, like library data, for a better way to describe it. Then too,there are those spirits who came down to Earth with Satan, and those lost souls still wondering the earth, they often seek living human contact, to once again feel alive in some minute way. And will do about anything to accomplish it.

I always remember some of the 1960 drug people I know back then. In the beginning most had good experiences, but say heavenly beings, but the longer they kept it up, it eventually turns darker. I knew many of them, not active in a church, tell me, the person they saw as beings of light, in the end they realized they were evil satanic beings, asking them to kill someone or themselves, or etc.
