I wonder why I answered you post in the other thread, 'McCoy natal chart'....
Anyway, if music is an hint, I wonder what it means that I like jazz music, maybe I've been an African American or even a pure African in recent lives.
Also, lots of people like rock music, a genre which has developed only recently, in the seventies. Is it possible to trace past lives preferences by a liking of such a recent music?
Mccoy my favorite chapter of the Autobiography of a Yogi has to be chapter 43: The Resurrection of Sri Yukteswar. In it he describes life spans much longer and so if we are in the astral for 500 to 1000 years or longer many of our interests in music may come from a different millennia.
I have also heard that lifetimes cut off by unnatural death can bring a soul quickly back into this life. I believe my last incarnation was cut off by being shot in the Civil War and so I came back quickly to be in the presence of a avatar and a recent avatar.
'A span of life in the astral world is much longer than on earth. A normal advanced astral being's average life period is from five hundred to one thousand years, measured in accordance with earthly standards of time. As certain redwood trees outlive most trees by millenniums, or as some yogis live several hundred years though most men die before the age of sixty, so some astral beings live much longer than the usual span of astral existence. Visitors to the astral world dwell there for a longer or shorter period in accordance with the weight of their physical karma, which draws them back to earth within a specified time.'
