When I was 15 or 16 years old - somewhere between 1972 to 1974 - I had a memory surface while tripping. I had tripped enough to know it was not an hallucination but a memory. It's still clear to me all these decades later.

The setting was a narrow body of water but probably deep and lush vegetation on both sides. I was there with a male I perceived to be my soulmate/complement. We had been frolicking in the water all natural and there was no sense of nakedness. This looked Edenic but there was a profound sadness. This deep sadness was probably why I remembered it all these decades because I wondered why.

I watched very little television but when I was in my early or mid 20's I room mated with someone who watched a lot of TV and I wound up watching the movie "Altered States". I was very impressed by the movie and wondered if I'd had a genetic memory of Adam and Eve on that trip. I tried to watch "Altered States" again in my 40's but couldn't finish it because it was so lame.

I'm pretty sure I just got a glimpse of things before the Fall and what was lost.

I've waited and waited for part 2 to show up in my inbox and thought you had given up on writing it. With a direct search I'm glad to see you didn't. I agree with everything you've written here.

I want to share a personal story about reincarnation. I've always thought reincarnation was a trap. My beloved dog died in May 2019. That was hard enough to take but I was devastated I contributed to more of her suffering: On a Friday I told my husband we needed to put her to sleep come Monday. He didn't want to and thought we could still save her, and I was desperate to believe that, so I agreed to wait. We couldn't save her, and she suffered more needlessly. I was "out to lunch" for a few months until a couple of other crises forced me back. Then on December 26th 2019, unexpectedly someone came by with two 7 month old dogs that were siblings, that were destined for an animal shelter if we didn't take them in. I agreed to take them. The first hour or two interacting with the dogs I realized they were family members of my former dog. A short while later I realized one of them was in fact my former dog reincarnated. For the next few weeks or months she acted just like her former self (her astrological moon's south node), until she settled into her new body and circumstances. There were many synchronicities and I didn't need astrology to confirm to me that she was my baby, but between our two charts it did. BTW - I've studied astrology for a few decades and concluded in 2019 it is this matrices program of how they are going to torture you this go around. Of course, there's good gifts in there too. I wondered if she had a choice to come back or not and I believe she chose to - for love and she wasn't done hiking! And I do believe her coming back was a gift from God. We do sometimes have a psychic connection and I let her know to not come back here again unless it gets cleaned up and I'll find her...
