What a great question. I do believe we have all been here before, & brought what we learned with us.. My sister is slightly intuitive, but nothing like me. Stories I could tell. I have had time stand still. I have had a voice speak in my ear 'look behind you right now". Instant decisions made against normal reaction have saved my life, & those with me, numerous times. I could never be put under hypnosis. I am too awake. I know when I have to act immediately, & when I have to just watch the trainwreck happen. I believe that when we are born, our death dates have already been set, & it doesn't matter where you are, or what you are doing, if it is your time, you will die. If it isn't, people will say it is a miracle you survived.(I asked a drunk drive how he got out of a totaled car. He didn't know. I don't know either, because there was no way I could get into the car). What would be interesting to know, is how many here have always been awake. I believe we are immune to mind control.
