my past lives

In my last life I was a colonial british living in India, born 1900s and lived in India 1920s-1940s. Lived in those colonial buildings I love so much, in Dehradoon? may be even until 1970s when I died? lived in England too, on the moors, enjoying the rare sunny winter days, climbing oaks.  Countryside, middleclass family.

I have lived in China before and offcourse tibet, ( thats why I like all those Chinese artists and Jackie Chan :-P )  I have done vipassana before. and offcourse India. Himalayas. More lifetimes as Buddhist than Hindu, so more in South east Asia than India, the pull of the culture says it, I must have been Shinto too, and a Witch in UK. I love the witch lore. In Europe, the only connection is to UK, none of the other countries, Same with the Americans - no connection either to the Native Americans or the recent USA/Canada. Even tho the native American spiritual side is fascinating and I was drawn to Aya. 

Considering we all came from Africa must have had a few lifetimes there but they must be long time ago, as I dont feel connected, even tho I love so much, the music, the rhythm, the language, the dance.

Middleeast, sufi yes, I have been there and done that. The music and the culture, sufiness, definitely in the last 1000 years I have been born in the middle east.

ps: This is all pure speculation and fun, please don't report me to the psych police :D :P

I am coming back

My friend ( western hence christian tradition brought up ) told me to not waste time on something and about life being short.
I said I am Hindu and I am coming back :-D His life is indeed short and he will be sitting there twiddling thumbs, while me will be having birth after birth all over the world, may be in other worlds too, and that too for eternity - the way my mediation is going I am not going to get Moksha anytime soon ;-)
He said immediatly how do I become Hindu :-D 

Almost all the artists I have liked on Facebook and insta are East Asian!! Japan, Taiwan, Cambodia, Singapore etc Even tho at first look their art is not obviously Asian style at all and I didn't even know their names, I liked the pictured first and then looked up the artist, many have western names and Some I thought were Russian artists as I like the art that looks like Russian books from my childhood :-) ( Were my childhood books illustrated by Siberians? it is close to Mongolia and Japan after all? :)
So strange, Subconsciously I have a type, I do love Chinese and Japanese art and decor to bits, I love their anime, jewellery, kawaii things etc etc, but I guess the liking and the art style goes deeper than what is obvious, the artists from there have it and I see it. 

unconsciousness

Everybody is acting out of unconsciousness, me and you and them, everyone.
Only thing to remember when interacting with people, they are unconscious thats why they behave that way, the more horrid the behaviour the more unconscious they obviously are.
Also I am unconscious and I may be acting out unconsciously and don't even know it :-)
Past is easier to see, easier to recognise unconscious behaviour in our bad past behaviour.
but what about good? Is it always conscious? Or is it habit pattern taught my parents and society?
It is easier to forgive ourselves and others if we remember our unconsciousness.
