i suffer from a fear of heights

many people suffer from various other fears

im wondering if it is possible some of these fears could be connected to past life experience

like my fear of heights

maybe i died before falling off a tall building or something

and the fear of that episode is so great it has carried over to this life

just a thought i came up with

I personally do believe in reincarnation and I belive that the reasons for it are to learn lessons that we have not quite gotten right yet. I belive that most things that have happened to us in past lives are forgoteen for oure own protection but I also believe that sometimes memories spill over from the other side that is outside of time and seep through our subconscious to our conscious mind. That doesnt mean that you absolutey fell from a great height in a past life but it is quite possible.

I agree ValpoSeeker. If you look up research done on past life regression you will find that many phobia can be cured by using this technique. I guess once you find out where the fear comes from, you can remove it from your life. One such author of a book called 'The Book of the Soul', written by Ian Lawton, goes extensively into the research of past life regression. He explains alot about reincarnation and the reasons for it. He has even started a movement call 'Rational Spirituality Movement' that is based off evidence not faith. And the evidence used is that of past life regression, near death experiences, children that remember past lifes, and other things.

I actually do think that there is a connection. If it didn't come from this lifetime, why not? Especially if it is a very odd type of fear.

I think it might have a connection...Maybe our fears are from past life experiences (like others said), and we need to learn certain things before we are able to move on from this plane of existance...maybe...

maybe we have to face our fear ?

in a burning building

walk out on the ledge high up to live

just a thought

i just think the theory in general may have credence
