I had a vision in which I was asked "Will you accept becoming a medium", I replied "No" as it clashed with my faith as a Christian

The christian idea of death to life, resurrection, regeneration, is not a recycling back into the world through the womb again. Its about the death of the body, a period of separation from the rag body, and then being reunited with a new body from the old. This is clearly something other than the idea of dropping the body and recycling again through the womb
And yet, both Jesus and John the Baptist, both pre-existing souls by the biblical account, entered this world through the womb and took on "rag bodies"!

Like I say my mind is open and it is also open to the very real possibility that I may be totally wrong but then the only one who knows for certain is God and if he wishes us to know we shall, if not then we shall be confounded.

Pre-existence doesn't mean you had been in a body once before.
No one ever said that Jesus or anyone. And yea it is a rag until its resurrected.
Zechariah 3 Clean Garments for the High Priest
3 Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan[a] standing at his right side to accuse him. 2 The Lord said to Satan, “The Lord rebuke you, Satan! The Lord, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?”
3 Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the angel. 4 The angel said to those who were standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes.”
Then he said to Joshua, “See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put fine garments on you.”
Anyway.....anyone on this thread want to actually prove reincarnation was taught by Jesus?

I don't believe that 'duality in existence is contrary to wisdom.' The cosmos is all about Balance, the endless fire-dance between Good and Evil, the eternal Yin/Yang of finding that fine edge between both extremes as the best place to live and grow.
Too much Good makes people complacent, lazy, and too willing to drift into the greyness of mind-altering substances, and embracing questionable ideas. Without meaningful challenges, a Soul can drift toward negativity, even among peaceful abundance and surface Goodness.
Too much Evil, and you have a long string of horrible, short lifetimes of starvation, disease, war and endless tears and loss. The Soul doesn't advance, it just tries to survive, until it learns that accomplishing Great Things take the Great Effort of many, working together.
"... We also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, Hope."
The Bible - Romans 5:3-4
I am actually scientifically minded and have saught out possible explanation's (assuming of course it is not a neuralogical problem of some kind or even a kind) and found myself drawing analogies between the modern study of quantum reality's such as parrallel realitys and other planer dimensional reality's
My sight is usually barely any good at all and since I was traumatized into that receptive state of mind I have spent the last 21 year's fighting to control it or to close it off feeling like it was intruding on my life and even destroying my life which I will maintain, I actually do not think this sensitivity - at least on my part - is a indication of spiritual advancement but more a kind of damage that maybe put me out of phase
That born in mind something struck a note for me, though I have and would never take narcotic substances there is a tradition among the shamen of many tribes even in northern europe.
I looked out of the window and the street light's were on but the everything had this halo like it was under water, no matter was floating but moving you could feel the water around you and I remember not breathing, behind me I felt a darkness, I did not look but if seemed to be trying to draw me down and I got angry, I walked against the current or suction of this darkness or mouth of the abyss
It is so hard to describe it, as there is nothing really to compare it with.
like the bible but one day after a kind of chaos seems to have enveloped you only to find that entire paragraphs are missing or it read's differently.
I had a religious silver medalion on, the same house were three people had died about 10 years before we moved into it, about 1994 a black shimmering mist form, unlike the other's this was almost a column like form floor to ceiling and resembled heat waves of black smoke, I told it to get out and it appeared to disapear then late I made the mistake of letting down my guard and as I walked through were I had seen it I felt it jump into me, the sensation was of sudden warmth and itching of my skin, I was overcome with the most irrational urge to laugh and was also terrified at the same time, the medalion went totally black and from then on for a period of about ten years any metal's that could tarnish did so very rapidly on me like my skin had turned acidic or something.
