I'm not into the whole reincarnation thing, either. For most of my life, I actively denied that possibility, mostly on mathematical grounds - 1) it's like saying the universe doesn't have enough unique souls to go around, so some folks have to deal with hand-me-downs, and 2) there are more people alive now, in this instant, than ALL of the people who have previously lived combined, so if EVERYONE who had ever lived before were reincarnated now, we still wouldn't have enough souls to go around to animate everyone alive today... and I just couldn't see a way to make that work, mathematically.
Lately, in the past couple of years however, I have admitted to the possibility of reincarnation. I have a peculiar theory of it that I won't bore you with, though.
I also have flashes, mere snippets, of "memory" of places I've never been and things I've never done. Could be reincarnation, could be that I'm just batshit crazy, too.
There are a number of people who have "past life memories", and of those, quite a number seem to have recollections of the opposite gender or sex or whatever the accepted Term of the Day is for when you have different dangly bits. Not all of them are transgendered, but some of them seem to be. So then we get into a "chicken or the egg" scenario are they transgender due to past memories, or do they have other-gender past memories because they are trans?
Or is it something else altogether, like a matter of having to work off Karma previously incurred as a debt?
