\t\t\t\tSometimes \u201ccrossing paths\u201d with a stranger is more like a head-on impact. It\u2019s an immediate connection that catches fire and blazes on in your mind long after the conversation ends. The intimacy is undeniable. It\u2019s unnerving how easy it feels. And it seems like magic\u2014finally, someone who gets your oddly specific passion for Japanese teacups, or herb gardens, or that one trashy reality show.<\/p>\n

As a psychic advisor, I see many cases where \u201cHave we met before?\u201d is a loaded question. Short answer? It\u2019s possible that a random encounter with a stranger you can\u2019t forget is a reunion with someone you knew in a different time and place. But how can you tell?<\/p>\n

A Fateful Collision<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A client of mine, Marilyn, is a 43-year-old schoolteacher with one messy divorce behind her. She considered herself out of the dating pool and actually seemed to be working to keep it that way. Whenever she met an attractive man, she saw only potential problems. Hopeless and awkward dates weren\u2019t worth her time, so she just didn\u2019t go on any.<\/p>\n

Marilyn came to me after an extraordinary encounter on a cross-country flight that started when she knocked her coffee off her tray table and onto the passenger next to her. As she apologized, frantically wiping down the table, she noticed that her neighbor was holding a now-soggy copy of Victor Hugo\u2019s Les Miserables<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“You know, that\u2019s my favorite book,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

“Oh yeah? Mine too\u2014I read it every year,\u201d he answered.<\/p>\n

She had noticed his sharp looks before, but hadn\u2019t planned on talking to him. A man that handsome and well dressed in a crisp white oxford shirt probably spent more time looking in the mirror than she did.<\/p>\n

But she had misjudged his character, and the next four hours passed too quickly. He was shockingly easy to talk to and they covered just about every subject she cared about: books, her 2nd-grade students, his career as an oncologist, their hometowns, and even her divorce. He was divorced too, and his warmth and empathy overpowered Marilyn\u2019s natural inclination to clam up about her marriage. She wanted to keep talking, and apparently he did too, because at the end of the flight he asked to exchange emails.<\/p>\n

“I hope this doesn\u2019t sound weird, but I feel like I\u2019ve known you a long time,\u201d he said. As Marilyn sat in the cab on her way home, she felt alive in a way she hadn\u2019t experienced for a long time.<\/p>\n

Unconquerable Emotions<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A week later, there was a message from him in her inbox.<\/p>\n

Truthfully, Marilyn told me, she had been obsessed with him all week. \u201cI feel like one of my students in puppy love\u2014I\u2019m being so stupid!\u201d she bemoaned. Marilyn had been replaying their conversation in her head constantly.<\/p>\n

“What\u2019s wrong with being attracted to him?\u201d I asked, although I was pretty sure I knew the answer.<\/p>\n

“It can\u2019t possibly<\/em> work. Have you ever heard of a brilliant doctor falling in love with a certified child wrangler? And we don\u2019t even live in the same state!\u201d<\/p>\n

Sure enough, Marilyn was designing her own failure.<\/p>\n

“But you still called to talk to me,\u201d I pointed out.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s just that I haven\u2019t felt this way since I met my first husband. I feel so immature and out of control. Can you help me understand why this man has got me so shaken up?\u201d<\/p>\n

The Secrets of Past Lives<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I immediately thought Marilyn was facing a past-life encounter, where two souls that interacted in a previous life meet in the present day. Of course, they\u2019re still carrying the baggage from their old lives, even if they don\u2019t know it. These encounters don\u2019t have to be between romantic partners, and just because you know someone from a past life doesn\u2019t mean you should be together now.<\/p>\n

The most common romantic relationship dynamics of past-life encounters are:<\/p>\n
