I wanted to learn more about the roots of yoga - so I "came across" hinduism.
There is a creator/creative force/god (only one - the so called gods are facets of this force which/who created and rules the universe) which/who is within and beyond everything it created - like god is the ocean, and all the things/being it created are "drops" of that ocean. So we all belong to that "ocean".
Our souls incarnate over and over again - until we have learned that we are not the body which dies, but the soul whose "house" (or "dress") the body is, and that this soul belongs to the ocean. That means: we have to learn that we (a) are soul, and (b) are - as soul - part of that "all embracing" soul ("ocean") which/who is god. As long as we identify with our body or our individual soul we have to be born again and again. As soon as we identify with the "whole", we are free from the circle of reincarnations. -- That's how I understood the concept of reincarnation in hinduisms.
I am also fascinated by the fact that there is only one creator (monothism), and the many gods are just facets of the creator. - Whereas the Christians say they are montheistic, believing in a trinity. To me god is god, the only one, and Jesus is his son. He is the same as god in the hinduistic sense (drop - ocean) - but god is the ocean, and Jesus is the drop (not a very big difference maybe, but I think you know what I mean).

The Guru of Paramahansa Yogananda have read the book "Autobiography of a Yogi" (very fascinating) or someone else said that it possible to incarnate on some astral planet when you make progress.
You can also reincarnate as an animal, they say.

I often wonder, in terms of reincarnation, whether people who have little coordination or use of their body or who have highly developed degrees of psychic abilities and maybe aren't as distracted by the usual things (material), aren't on their way out of having to reincarnate again.

There was a time I was so ungrounded, I felt dizzy a good deal of times. this sounds crazy, but little things would be defening. Things that didn't make sounds but almost had a degree of vibration - as in an inner ear could hear it.

They show something similar to it in the movie, "The Last Mimzy." I haven't seen the movie but when I tried to download it on netflicks it froze shortly after that scene. I told my husband, "That's almost exactly how it can get" when one of the young children was looking at a spider web and the noise from the spider walking within it an catching dinner was almost irritating.

I don't have that as much now. That was more in my late teens and early twenties. I've always wondered about it though.

I've had similar experiences, especially with couples.

Whenever I'm talking to my husband's mother I catch myself saying things like, "Would your father know? Where's your dad?" etc. when referring to her husband. It doesn't even have to be someone I've known for a long time either. Sometimes I'll meet someone and say, "Is your son with you?" I can't tell you the kind of stares i get with that one, b/c it's usually out at dinner or a club.

Everyone just kind of stares like, "You bring your kid out this late at night?" Very smoothe
