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.
