Meaning of Life
Star_01:
I'm curious of what other's beliefs of "life" are..
Do people believe for example that before we are born, we choose or get given certain lessons to learn on this earth? Reincarnation, lessons or karmic paths from previous past lives?
For example some people being born into a rich family, others being poor. Children having happy upbringings, other children having abusive childhoods?
I know people who think that before we are born, we basically choose what lessons to learn in this life. So say for example in your last life, you were rich and happy, had it all and had a relatively laid back life, you decide well this next life I want to learn what it's like to be poor, or harder on luck, and then you are born into a more tricky life... These lessons then "evolve and wisen" your soul, if you like.
I recently talked to someone who read with a reader who is strictly into science and no "woo woo" stuff as she calls it. She believes in cells/cellular levels and electricity, that all of our memories, our personality, traits, actions, behaviours, thoughts etc are stored within us and our cells til even after death.
(I may have to take this part down as it could offend people), but she believes that people who get cancer young in life are most of the time unhappy people with lots of toxins inside of them because (I may be poor at explaining this) we all have cancer inside of us but too much then is fungi which will spread and that's when we get unwell and die, and the fungi spreading is basically all the unhappy toxins and energy etc inside of that person.
She also believes in what many people would call LOA but she says it isn't, it's real sciencey "stuff" where if you are brought up in an unhappy environment, you will bounce off of people (until you "raise your electric, cellular whatever vibrations and basically - self esteem") who are your fears or have experienced similar life traumas to you because of the electricity and cells etc etc inside of us. For example if you grow up being abandoned and shut out as child you will attract people throughout your life who abandon you (attract your fears because of subconscious, the vibrations cells electricity we vibe out) or are scared of being abandoned too, which causes a toxic controlling relationship pattern throughout your life. I personally believe (and have seen myself) that sometimes it's also down to luck. I've known people who have had shitty upbringings to go on and be successful happy people and people who had decent childhoods to get into abusive relationships. This reader also believes in energy and when you think of another person, you automatically make an invisible link to them, which is why they may think of you at the same time of you thinking of them, you may well see signs or their name about places, or think of them and then shortly after they contact you. They called it synchronisation which I do have to believe because I've witnessed it myself.
I am quite a spiritual person and rarely believe in coincidences, I do think we are given lessons to complete in this life and when we die and pass over, we do the things "over there" that we enjoyed in life, aswell as being around deceased loved ones and friends, animals. And the not so great people receive whatever punishments afterward. This reader believes that we are all memories like a stored file, so when she does a mediumship reading, it's like someone's grandma or whomever is coming through, is coming from storage memory files, like opening drawers and going through filing cases of memories and validations, etc. I am unsure of this part, I don't know whether to believe we are just "memories" that come through.
I'm really interested to hear of what people's own takes are on life here, before we are born/after death and the meaning of life. Surely some things are not coincidental and down to just science, and we meet certain people for reasons, and go into certain areas we are meant to. Like a specific job or in the right place at the right time for something extraordinary to happen. And what do people believe happens when we die, the process after?
Apologies if this science stuff is common sense and I've made myself look a fool, I've never really been a sciency person and never had it explained like this before, so it's all new to me. Also, unless I'm mistaken - I've never seen anywhere on here people talk about science and spirituality. I'm wondering if people believe in just the science side of things or more to life than that too if is possible? Anyway, thanks for listening to my ramblings :)

I love posts like this, it’s so interesting to think about. And there’s no right or wrong answer to it. My stance on it literally changes daily though. I like to believe everything happens for a reason and that these hard times that we go through will all mean something someday. Looking back, I did learn from past experiences and they have brought me to where I am but was it really worth it? Would my life really be that much different had those things not happened?
The cancer thing is also a good example. I follow this mother who lost her 3 year old to cancer and I just can’t think of any logical reasoning behind something like that happening. Surely he didn’t have to suffer to bring awareness when there’s thousands of kids just like him that die every year.
The synchronization stuff really sparks my interest. I swear this happens all the time to me and it leaves me so confused.
And if reincarnation is real, I hate the past life version of me. How dare she lol

I do believe we choose our lives before we are born but I also believe it depends on the karmas you do or don't do in this life will decide your next life. What you mentioned about the reader is all basic psychology lol that's why she said its science based. Its all past conditioning and we all have it and carry the wounds we experienced in early childhood into the future. Some of us deal with them and some of us dont and just accumulate more wounds. Although I think somethings are destined, I believe a lot of it lies in the choices we make. 2 Children from an abusive home can lead 2 completely different lives. One can go on and continue living that trauma and go down the dark path and the other chooses to transmute it and lead a completely different life. I believe a lot of it comes down to how we choose to deal with life and whether we are in the drivers seat or a victim to our circumstances. I believe we are meant to live the life we want but getting to that road is not always easy and be quite lonely. It takes a lot to own that you have been responsible for a lot in your life but it also gives you the power to change it.
Now pertaining to negativity and physical manifestation. I def believe there's a link. Cancer is not a fungi so Idk what malarky that reader is saying. Cancer is quite complicated and different types manifest/develop different ways. Im not going to get into the science behind it here but it way more complicated than just negativity building up. Now i do believe that emotional trauma can manifest physically which why stress causes so many problems. I do believe people who are constantly feeding into the negativity of their lives and building off that that it can later manifest as physical symptoms.
I don't believe in luck. Luck is subjective. If you have good health and all your body parts, consider yourself lucky. There's nothing good about getting everything you want handed to you on a silver platter because none of that builds character. Character isn't built when everything is easy. Its the challenges that we look back and thank because it changed us and made us into who we are. Everything looks easy on the outside because noone knows what anyone is going through. Luck is subjective based on who sees it. Two people can get the same job and one will be unhappy because its not what they wanted and another will feel lucky because they have one and can put food on the table. It all comes down to mindset. The more you open your hands and say thank you for even the little you have the more you get.

Thanks again for the contribution and personal views. I've never been a sciency person so this was all new to me and was curious on what people had to say on here about that side of things.
What you say about what we do in this life, (if that's true) that is really unfair! I could have been a murderer in my last life but me, now, I hate evil people and would never (obviously) consider such a thing, so why should I be punished for what I did in my last life?
I agree about conditioning and common sense. If you grow up you can decide to make the most of life even from a shitty childhood or go down a path of being on drugs, using and abusing others etc. Life is what you make of it. I've never believed we happened to be born into a childhood of happiness or abuse. I've read many stories online where kids have gone to their mother's and said that they chose them before being born. I would say that in a weird twist of events we do choose the parents and lessons, paths before we come onto this plane and that's probably why some children are born into horrific circumstances.
I do believe in luck, like some people try to be good people and happy people but get dealt with a shitty hand at life and others are very lucky and don't have many problems in their life. But like you said it's all about mindset, too. When things go wrong for me I always try to say to myself that maybe there was a reason. I know someone who became homeless and they had to go through a shitty phase to then get their own place, own independence and freedom. So at first they thought, why me? Why did I become homeless? To looking back and unraveling the good ending.
There's nothing good about getting everything you want handed to you on a silver platter because none of that builds character. Character isn't built when everything is easy. Its the challenges that we look back and thank because it changed us and made us into who we are. Everything looks easy on the outside because noone knows what anyone is going through.
And I completely agree on this part. I would rather have experienced shitty things in life than have a great life and boom. One day something shit hits the fan and I'm f#cked and no clue what to do. With having shitty situations comes experience and knowledge.

Lol I agree. I must have been an evil person in my past life, I'm telling you!
That's so sad about the son dying. Sometimes death and grieving in a sad twist of ways brings other good things out of a situation. So for example you said you follow her, I'm guessing she is a blogger ? When something tragic happens, sometimes it makes you appreciate the good things in life too or to meet others who are suffering with loss of child and see the bloggers page. Like LadyA said, if we didn't have challenges in life we wouldn't learn or gain experience, that's the whole point of life. And some people have awful things happen to them but this mother could have used her son's tragic death and made something good out of it somehow, or had like an epiphany of learning about life and philosophical ways of it. I do think things happen on purpose, but life can be a bitch and tragic awful things can happen, and sometimes we get an answer as to why it happened and sometimes we don't, sadly, or we have to figure out for ourselves.
