For me, past lives are about as possible as man being able to fly, or as possible as invisible rays cooking food or 8 year olds who can play violin better than an 60 year old expert.
My gut feel, is that for most of mine, I was a male, that life was hard, not fun and death was on occasions violent (I survived my last death, the experience was amazing but I had my ar*e dragged back with the explaination "your job not yet finished").
My return this time, because I'm spiritually connected to 3 women, I had to be in their life again, while my mother lost a baby, it put the 3 out of sequence so I got the next body, which was male. I don't mind, it's a good strong body with military combat rating, performs well and achieves the goals I want to achieve.
For me, I feel like the body got jumped with 2 souls, although several psychics tell me I have a split soul (which would point more to past lives genders)
