Reincarnation: A Reality For These Figures

Imagine remembering a person you used to be. Some people live those memories everyday.

Reincarnation: A Reality For These Figures
Conscious Lifestyle Mag

Personally, I do not believe in reincarnation. However, I do have a great interest in events that go "beyond science" (which is the name of a YouTube channel that I follow, if you like things similar to what I am about to talk about I suggest subscribing to it). Reincarnation is an idea that has been around for centuries. Reincarnation is a belief of multiple cultures and religions, especially in the Western World. To some of us, this is just a history lesson from old cultures. But to others, this is reality.

Patrick Christenson

In March of 1991, Patrick was born by cesarean section. Twelve years earlier, he had an older brother named Kevin who died of cancer at the age of two. Kevin developed a limp six months before passing away. Kevin also had a small nodule above his right ear removed, a biopsy was performed and this is how the family found out Kevin had cancer. Tumors eventually spread throughout the rest of his body, one of them causing blindness in his eye. Kevin passed away shortly after his second birthday. Twelve years later, Patrick was born. Coincidentally, Patrick walked with a limp, had a scar above his right ear, and was blind in one eye. Patrick also talked about the old house that Kevin lived in, and mentioned how he doesn't remember much during the procedure where the doctors removed the nodule above his ear.

Purnima Ekanayake

Purnima was nine years old when a psychology professor decided to visit her in her home in Sri Lanka. The professor was interested in this particular girl because usually kids stop talking about their past life by the age of six. Purnima claimed that she had died in a traffic accident in her past life. The parents and professor were interested in this, so they travelled to the village the girl used to live in. The girl used to be a man named 'Jinadasa,' and he used to work in an incense factory. Purnima had birth marks on her stomach, which she said were the tire marks of where the bus ran over her in her past life.

Twin Sisters

In England in 1957, two sisters were killed by a car that hit them while they were walking along a sidewalk. One year later, the wife became pregnant, and the husband had a feeling that this pregnancy was going to be twin girls, both of who were going to be a reincarnation of their daughters who passed the year before. One of the babies was born with a scar above her right eyebrow, identical to their oldest daughter's. The other baby was born with a mole, the same size and in the same spot as their youngest daughter who had passed. When the girl's turned four, the husband opened up his late daughters' box full of toys. The twin girls knew the names of every single toy, and to which sister it belonged to.

James Leininger

James had a fascination with anything aircraft related when he was a child. However, when he turned two James began having nightmares about aviation. He would wake up shouting "burning plane" and "man can't get out." James would tell his father about how he used to fly planes off of a ship called Natoma. His father was very interested in these stories that he researched this ship. Come to find out, Natoma was an aircraft ship in the Pacific, and a young man at the age of 21 died when a plane caught on fire. It is to be believed that James is the reincarnation of this young pilot.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Kourtney Kardashian

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.
