Yes,I wishI didn't. Nothingis more annoying than the thought of coming back here again to be frank.....it would seem like failure. Ignorance isn't bliss in the long term though.

Quite a few teachings out there tell youhow find out what they were, via looking in theAkashic Record Book, via meditational practices, which involve things like Astral, Soul, Mental body travel etc, etc.

My advice though is to avoid them since they tend to be cultish(Scientology for example teaches it amongst other things)and withinsecret societies and the like. .. It's not all that important to know about though and only serves to be a distraction anyway. Buddhism is abit off, so looking there will only confuse people.
There are various theories on it but do you belive that people are reborn as 'someone else' to continue part of their journey or any other version of what is essencially the same thing?

The core personality remains the same, unless something happens here inlife which changes a person, whichhappens to just about everybody, since society does change people inextreme ways.

For one example ifa womanbecomes toofeminine in this lifetime lets say,they'll incarnate as amale next time to balance themself out....however they will be still attracted to males so they will be gay.And if a male becomes toomasculine then they'll become a woman in the next life and be a lesbian since they'll still be naturally attracted to women. A phenomena which has increased within the last 70 years or soI've noticed.

Though incarnations tend to be gender specific, unless the above happens.

Another example is a person addicted to **** might become a **** star in the next life if those sort of lustful thoughts from this lifefollow through into that life. And the same goes for just about everything. One of the reasons mental and emotional discipline is all important. Lose control and you're open to all sorts possiblities, normally bad ones.

You don't become someone else, you just have a different body, in which to develop new attitudes, and beliefs which follow on into the next life for the most part, along with some of the previous ones as well.Obviously your direct memories of past lives don't. The conscious mind can only store so much as it is, and for most people the minute they die they forget about the previous life anyway, the same way you forget aboutthe previous dayawake while you're dreaming. So only the core personality which is.........insert name......... remains during the period between incarnations which has no set period.

That personality(attitudes, beliefs, etc)is dismantled and pusheddeep into the subconsciousaround about thebirth into the next life. Some of your previous lives stronger attitudes and beliefs, Phobiasbecome activated during that lifetime, others don't. Some people who were Christians for example in the past suddenly become one later on in thenext life, since the circumstances were just ripe (normally one of suffering)to activate that desire, attitude, faith orwhateverin them, others may find something else that seems true and homelyto them, since subconsciously they're familar with it, so naturally it would.

It has always been a part of African culture/spirituality so no hiding people! My question is. If there is such a thing as reincarnation... what did we do in our past lives to deserve what we are going through as a nation? Where did we go wrong?

Better to think in terms of I instead of we. It's actually worse in somewaysto be in the English speaking nations, since that's where people develop alot of their problems. For example alot of serial Killers come from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia...more so than other countries. The psychological problems westernersdevelop are much much worse than what occurselsewhere in the world. Selfishness, greed, arrogance, racism, sexual perversions, etc, etc. And unfortunately it's purely the psychological aspects which decides what type oflife you'll end up leading in the future. The only things set in stone are when you're born and when you die....but not how you die I might add.
People who commit suicide only delaytheir suffering, though next time they'll be better equipped to deal with whatever caused them to top themselves, but they will still face that same suffering.
It's not whatpeople havedone wrong in the past that is important, it's whatpeople aredoing wrong now which people should concern themselves with......and that's should include just about everybody. You're thinking too much about black people materially, that's why you think blacks have gone wrong somehow. From where I'm sitting Africans in Africa haven't at least. Elsewhereblacks arein the same position as whites since as far as I can see they have the same attitudes andsame desires and goals for the most part. They sure as hell have the same problems, which tend to be spiritual ones.
SpirituallyAfricans in Africa areno worse off than anyone else, in fact out of all I'd say whites probably have it worse Spirituality, since they're in the west which is where most of the negative psychological changes happen, coupled with excess drinking, and drug taking things are pretty bad for some. That's what alot of them have to look forward to unwittingly. A restful spirit it isn't.
