If you do what you have always done, you will get what you have always had.

LOL! Who comes up with this stuff?

OK, first let me say that I don't believe in reincarnation. I have a 'once around and on to the after-life' view. However, I ran across this on Jean's blog and thought it would be interesting. I expected lots of little boxes to check, but all they wanted was my date of birth. If that wasn’t enough to make me skeptical, this was*:

Your past life diagnosis:


I don't know how you feel about it, but you were male in your last earthly incarnation. I figured that out.
You were born somewhere in the territory of modern USA South-East around the year 1025.
Your profession was that of a monk (nun), bee-keeper or lone gunman.
Oh, really? OK, the solitary part I can see. I tend to be a hermit. However, in the Southeast US in 1025, there weren’t any monks or guns that I’ve read about in any History book, and I’ve been teaching History for five years or so. Shaman/medicine man, maybe. Lone gunman? Probably not; most native tribes hunted together. So I’m guessing I must have been a bee keeper and been stung, which is why I’m not fond of them now.


Your brief psychological profile in your past life:
Such people are always involved with all new. You have always loved changes, especially in art, music, cooking.

OK, those areas I still tolerate change well. What I don't get is if I was a lone bee keeper, were the bees showing me the changes in art, music, and cooking? Or was I coming up with them on my own? If that's the case, did I use up all my creativity? And what did I do then that I should be able to lay claim to now?


The lesson that your last past life brought to your present incarnation:
There is an invisible connection between the material and the spiritual world. Your lesson is to search, find and use this magical bridge.

I know that bridge! His name is Jesus! It’s less a matter of ‘search, find, and use’ than it is ‘succumb, submit, and obey’ though. Their wording fits in with native belief.


Do you remember now?

Can’t say that I do…

*Italicized comments are mine, if you haven’t already figured that out.
