I was thinking about how some people feel familiar to us, like friends, aquaintances, or even people we just meet briefly and converse with.
I'm always meeting new people with whom I feel some weird familiarity with. Even with strangers, if I'm out with my friends or just out running errands. Sometimes a conversation will strike up with these people, and it will seem natural like I'm speaking to a friend.

Are these random people from past lives that are just popping in to say "hello"?
Or are they just random friendly people?

We often bump into soul mates from time to time, normally you can sense that by deja vu, ie. 'wierd familiarity'.
Of course there are just random friendly people out there too who play a part in your life.

There is no such thing as coincidence. Everyone we meet now we have met before. It may be that someone you had a strong relationship with in another time you only meet in the supermarket this time, but you knew them. Only brief acquantances (sp?) may mean that the karmic debt has been paid or that the karmic debt is not meant to be addressed in this now.

Thanks for your help Leo friends

LLL~ the brief encounters are things that happen the most frequent. A lot of the time this will happen to me in romantic situations. I don't know a person well but
I'll feel a strong affinity, and it's all been mutual but it ends up that I am the one that cuts things off.

I've had these type of affairs a lot but I always end running off in complete panic because things are static and moving too fast. I feel like I've ran into so many karmic lovers and have then quickly avoided them because I started to feel "overwhelmed" by the karma.

I think I've avoided a lot of fateful encounters I should have followed through with...
Is that bad?

Sometimes it seems I'm running from love even when I want to be near it.

I feel past life friends and lovers the second i see them, which is very scary! However, the last person did the same thing and ran away! I think it was too much for this person and here I am now, totally confused because I feel like I felt SOMETHING so how can they turn away from that>? But I can see your point of view, too--it's too much karma and it can get heavy. Thanks for pointing out the other side!

Hi Zoso

I'm sorry you've had to deal with frustrating people like me! Avoidance is not the best way to go about things. I realize as long as I keep avoiding these type of relationships there will be consequences because there are certain lessons we need to learn from these people. Avoiding fate is just slowing down the evolution of the soul and prohibits true happiness.

I've been so scared of being hurt or overwhelmed by relationships that I've been the one possibly hurting someone else in most cases.
It's not my intention at all to cause hurt but ultimately, running away is a form of rejection... and that does hurt feelings.
