Has anyone studied or believe in Reincarnation and Past Lives?I have read many stories about unexplainable memories. Since I am very suspicious of all therapists and those who call themselves 'experts' of any sort, but am open minded, I wonder what this whole subject is really all about because of course, they like to keep us confused.
I came across this site of 'information' and wondered if anyone here has any insight to share.

Then I read this from someone else's viewpoint on a forum and thought that this could be possible with the ET connection:"I would like to point out something about exopolitcs via a parallel to one of the more spiritually advanced human political systems. I will show a potential danger of this most advanced human system that is often over-looked. I will then show that a similar danger exists with the xeno-hominids*.
* Because of the debates over origins and the alleged inter-relatedness and cross-breeding of humans and "aliens", I have decided to dispense with the term extra-terrestrial. If they are on Earth, they are not currently extraterrestrial, by definition. To
categorize them as such shows narrow-mindedness. At the same time, they are something wholly unfamiliar to the majority of homo sapiens on the planet. On the other hand, there are stories cross-breeding both in ancient times and modern times. Also, they are all humanoid as far as I have heard, but all humanoids on Earth are considered related to us. If their fossils were found, they would likely be considered of the homo genus. Thus I will call such visitors xeno-hominids rather than extra-terrestrials.
As you may know, in Tibetan Buddhism certain positions in the religious hierarchy are considered to be inherited by reincarnation.
These reincarnating teachers are called tulkus. A while ago while studying Buddhist philosophy I observed something interesting about the tulku succession system. That is, although the Tibetan system for identifying a reincarnated teacher may not be perfect, that even if it identifies a successor improperly, it will tend to identify somebody who is psychicly attuned. This is because they do not ask the successor, "are you the reincarnation of so and so", but rather they play games to see if he knows certain things that only the predecessor's inner circle would know. Well, so an intuitive person could be mistaken for the tulku. Things are not always as they appear.
Now the interesting thing about the tulku system in Buddhism is the assumption that somebody advanced enough to remember past lives is deserving of maintaining their position from one life to another. Let us suspend this belief for a moment, and assume that these people just have an extraordinary ability to remember a past life, but are no more virtuous than any other person of religious background. Now imagine the potential power from the knowledge of so many lives, combined with the outward recognition of succession that you don't have to fight to the top of the hierarchy, but are born into the position in each life. Possibly great power could be amassed, like the Pope, except without interruption of succession by death, because the tulku is always reborn.
Perhaps even this is what the certain Llamas have aimed for. Could the Dalai Llama become a permanent fixture in world politics, in perpetuity, growing his power with each reincarnation until global hegemony is achieved? I think you get the idea, even if you protest that it is not so. I just want you to consider the possibility.
Now, the xeno-hominids would also be concerned about reincarnation, especially if they were more advanced than us. This means that any problems they may have with their DNA is more than just a matter of survival of their species. They may be preparing vessels for their own personal reincarnations. Perhaps they see us evolving, and realize what may happen - an elite group controlling a planet.
Power, prestige, and aesthetic and hedonistic delights await whoever wins a pass into this circle. Now, if the xeno-hominids could walk among us unnoticed, they could find their way to the top. So they make crossbreeds who can do this, and reincarnated into these bodies. Thus the xeno-hominids become the ruling elite of mankind.
The issue is not who is more evolved.
The question, what is really going on that these beings need us for? The old stories, whether of the fae or the elves or the nephelim the djin, or what have you, all say the same thing – The invisible ones may be our protectors, but if they want your children, or they want to cross into the world of men and do mischief unseen, to enchant you, and take away your free will, they are up to no good.
Beware!
Considering that these xeno-homids have been mistaken for all manner of supernatural beings, we can better understand the sinister machinations of the Bible.
"O [xeno-hominid], what is man for you to consider him? What is a mortal for you to take him into account? Man is a breath of air, his days a passing shadow. He shines in the morning then disappears, in the evening he wilts and dries up. You reduce man to the worst humiliation [such as abduction and humiliating surgical procedures], but you also tell him: repent, O son of Adam! If men were wise they would surely understand this advice and would consider their end.
For man, at his death, takes nothing with him, his riches will not accompany him [because he has not mastered reincarnation like the xeno-hominids]. Remain pure and aim at being right, for man's ultimate goal should be to be worthy of eternal peace. The [xeno-hominid] will save the souls of those who serve Him [because he does remember past lives], and those who have faith in him will never regret."
But rather than trusting and having faith as the Bible naggingly commands, I implore you rather to be skeptical and search for truer understanding. For what good does it do you to serve an unrewarding slave-driver?
Better to master yourself, rather than to be mastered. Humanity must unite to end suffering, and we must reclaim the technology that is being hidden from us by those who remember what we have forgotten.
Yes, they will tell you that you are like ants to them. That is just rhetoric. Like when the talking heads on TV say things but you can't argue back because the talking heads on TV can't hear you and don't listen.
You see, "they are just animals" has been used to justify interplanetary wars before. But this is something different. This is not about one species using another species. Rather they are infiltrating our species.
For what purpose? To infiltrate our world. Resist tyrrany!"
