  You have personally seen past lives, you are also interested in buddhism and believe what buddha taught, why haven't become a buddhist yet? Is staying in life cycle not miserable enough.

  Hehe...
  
  I shouldn't be saying this on a Buddhist forum...but...
  
  Liberation is non-sectarian... it is not dependant upon whether one is a Buddhist or not.
  
  Being a Buddhist is just another label and concept.
  
  Yes, you are right, the reincarnation/rebirth cycle is really full of suffering and unsatisfactoriness. It is clearly more so... if one have seen across lifetimes.
  
  Every single one of us is looking for happiness... it is 'embedded' within Universal Mind. It is just that the way most of us are doing it is not very effective. We think that we can get what we want in the rebirths.
  
  regards

  What does it mean when i seem to be able to remember more and more of my present life esp from being a baby till my present time . Usually pple tends to forget the memories of their childhood when they grow up but for me is like i seem to be able to remember more and more of it . Sometime even to the extent of able to even remember whatever things that a person told me abt at that particular time . It is funny because i am generally a very forgetfull person who can forget things that i hear now only to forget abt it just 5 minute later .

  Perhaps its time for me to say this
  
  Remembering past lives isnt a happy process
  
  You remember how u died the last time
  who killed you ,
  your past family who u left behind and their ending
  your past friend u have left behind
  your career and possession
  
  now tell me ?
  
  wat kiind of happiness are there in remembering past lives ?

  I believe that it is possible that a person does not have any past lives.
