Can we choose our next life?
Most reincarnation authors would probably say ‘no” as your current personality will be discarded after death, and you will become a ‘pure soul” or merge with your Higher Self — so the next life will be chosen by your soul and not by your current persona. From the metaphysical point of view, there is no past or future lives at all — as linear time is a 3d dimensional illusion and everything is happening simultaneously from the view of the 6D Higher Self…so all our physical lives are parallel to each other and you are just shifting attention from one incarnation to another — kinda like changing carousel horses which are all there already and just moving in circle… you can still choose which horse to hop on.
In my opinion, your current personality can have some effect on the choice of other lives. Being very interested in a particular topic and developing new skills can affect your occupations in other lives and choice of time and place to be born You can reincarnate in the future or back in any historical time you want, or go on another planet, possibilities are endless…Simply speaking — if you want to be an artist or musician in a future life — start practicing art or music NOW, even if you do not have natural abilities, and would never become famous in this life, but this will allow you to request a more capable body and supporting family in the next life and bring some skills from this life — so you will already have some baseline to start with. We can carry over skills and abilities from one life into another. So, if you wish for a particular occupation in the next life — make it your hobby in this life. It also applies to science or healing or athletics or exploration — any area of human activity…
Another thing we can carry over from life to life is RELATIONSHIPS — make sure to balance your relationships and forgive your enemies — as any positive or negative relationships can carry over into future lives. Love will carry over, but so will hate and conflicts, if you want to make sure NOT to have a particular soul in future lives or to have a better relationship with them — solve the conflict NOW, or at least let them go emotionally, cut energy cords, and become indifferent to them, this lessens the chance of dealing with the same issue again in future lives.
We can also carry trauma and emotional problems — heal them in THIS LIFE, not carry them over into other lives. We all have some unresolved issues from past lives and current life — the faster you deal with them — the better, as they will repeat in all lives till resolved.
Generally ‘doing good deeds” and being kind to people helps to improve your ‘karmic balance” and attract more positive events and people — both in this life and future lives. Karma is not punishment, but the vibrational level of your soul will give you better chances to have a more uplifting and happy life, and negativity will attract negative events and people. Having some spiritual practice and being compassionate helps to raise your vibration, it will not make you ‘rich and famous” in future lives, but it will create more loving and spiritual future life.
To look at possible future lives you can do ‘Future Life Progression” — there are some guided meditations for it on youtube, or you can have a session with a practitioner in person or online. These future lives are possibilities, it is a good idea to look at them for inspiration, finding new interests and hobbies, or even carrying over some skills from these lives into the current life.
