Thank you for your excellent site! I stumbled upon it quite by accident, and find it to be quite a revelation. Anyway, my question is in regard to any past lives I may have had. I have always felt that I have somehow lived before, but it has been hard to pinpoint anything in particular(i.e. dreams, etc). However, I do seem to have an inexplicable draw to Mexico, Mexican culture and the Spanish language comes quite easily for me. Also, a Mexican woman and I share a friendship that I would call a spiritual bond; I feel like I have known her all my life(pardon the cliche). She is married and twice my age. Is it possible I have known her in a previous life, or am I drawing erroneous conclusions?
My other question refers to homosexuality. There are a number of interpretations of whether it is right or wrong, but I was born this way, so there is nothing I can do about it. Is homosexuality in any way a factor in reincarnation? Is it considered "wrong" in the spirit world, or to God? Thank you for your time and all the work you do. I look forward to your response!

Homosexuality was/is never a factor in the eyes of whoever you consider your creator nor does it affect the reincarnation of an individual. The spiritual bond that you have with your lady friend could be laid out in many facets and it just so happened that you directed it towards reincarnation. The liking of a particular culture does not necessarily suggest that you are reincarnated. Yourself for example, did not fall under this but you still have that attraction for Mexican culture. It's very common to a lot of people to feel this way.
As far as you're status, don't worry about what people say. You came into this world as a homosexual and you identified it...enjoy who you are with a smile and with no guilty feelings.

Thank you for answering my question about homosexuality. I really appreciate your perspective. But to be more specific, I was wondering how it is that if homosexuality is not seen as something negative in the eyes of the creator, why is it almost wholly condemned by most religions? Is this the interference of man's prejudices?
I also asked a question about having been reincarnated, and how it related to a person and my personal attraction to Mexican culture. You said they didn't have anything to do with each other, but are you saying that I have not lived before at all? I was also curious if Satan and our concept of hell actually exists, or is this just a manifestation of the religious?
Thank you so much for your time--I have found your perspective very enlightening! I look forward to hearing from you!

The domain that we trek daily is in the world of humans. However, some of us are fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to wander in thoughts across the realm of the paranormal world. When one is commited to the realm of the paranormal, it's no longer just a thought but the whole of the person without reservations.
Your status was identified since the beginning of time and even then, homosexuals were treated with disdain because of nonconformity within society. As for the creator, you are an entity with feelings and dignity and the belief that you hold will be your key to the next plane and not what you are now. Your liking of a culture is not the key for being reincarnated.
When readers ask if they have a past life, an investigation is conducted the same way no matter what the topic may be. As far as being in hell and working for Satan, watch CNN or read a newspaper and ask yourself if there's any harmony on this planet we called Earth. With that in mind, we can say that we are already in hell. Some religions will say that if you're not too bad, then you will end up in the purgatory or a place of temporary holding until you redeem yourself in some way. Our perception of that, is that we do not really have guidlines that dictate if we're good or bad. This condemnation was created by humans and not the creator. So, purgatory may be "earthbound" for the entities lingering all around us.
