We may often think about who we’ll be in a future life, or what our karma will lead us into in terms of challenges and joys, but how often do we imagine where we’ll be? There are some locations on earth that are meant to last – for eons. This are the spots that will endure for generations to come…

Thank you to Natasha Dern, host of The Buddha Lounge Show, for her thoughtful answers to our Reincarnationist QA.

The Reincarnationist recently posted about an article Natasha published on Huff Post, Do You Believe In Past Lives? I recommend you read her piece if you have not yet done so. It’s a great read, especially for Reincarnationists.

Also, M.J. will making an appearance on Natasha’s show in the near future and I will be sure to let you know when this happens.

THE QUESTIONS:

What is your most marked characteristic that you believe could be a
hold over from a past life?

A: There are several but one of them is my absolute LOVE of Paris. I
visited there a few years ago and the feeling that came over me was that I
was home. My reaction was not that of a tourist seeing it for the first
time and being in awe of such a beautiful city but it was deeper than
that, almost like a memory. I even visited Napoleon’s apartment and the
feel of that time period felt so familiar. I think whatever kind of
lifetime I experienced there must’ve been an extremely happy one.

What is your principle defect that you believe may be inherited from a
previous incarnation?

A: Let’s just say I’ve gotten a taste of my own medicine.

Which of your favorite heroes do you think you could have been and why?

A: Women throughout history who have been bold fascinate me. The fact that
they were brave enough to live on their terms despite the period in which
they lived and the inevitable societal backlash for the choices they made
as women is extraordinary. They demanded authenticity and the right to be
who they were. I wish there were more women like that today to demonstrate
to the rest of us how important being true to who you are is rather than
becoming a carbon copy of another.  Modern women have learned to imitate
and not individuate.

What three people from history would you like to have over to dinner for a
discussion about reincarnation?

A: Yogananada, Dion Fortune and Madame Blavatsky

What do you think happens when we die?

A: I don’t think we die but move on to a different level of reality. Why
would reincarnation be so hard to believe? Here on earth, we get to travel
and explore other countries and cultures, learn and grow from those
adventures – why would it be any different for the soul? Why wouldn’t the
soul want to travel and explore other galaxies and planets for its own
enjoyment and purposes? All of creation is at its fingertips.

When you come back next time, who (or what!) would you like to be?

A: More of myself.
