Please forgive my ignorance on these subjects, I've done very little research. All of my knowledge comes from personal experience and intuition, and I know it is limited.

I firmly believe in reincarnation. There are a few cultures that are not my own that I am very drawn to, and while I've had no full-blown past life episodes, I can feel them on the edge of my mind. One of the strongest shadows of memory that I can feel is that of a woman, someone very dear to me, that I believe I was separated from.

I have also, throughout my life, felt as though I've been watched over and guided. Even when I make dire mistakes, things have this tendency to work out, and often I feel literally as if I'm on autopilot in crucial situations.

Recently I've gotten the feeling that this force watching over me is the Watcher, that greater Self that is mentioned in popular works on the subject. Very recently I had an extremely powerful experience--I should mention also that I am an Empath--where I burst into uncontrollable tears very suddenly. It's difficult for me to go into detail, but it was then that I felt the connection, and I feel now as though this woman and this Watcher are one and the same.

Despite my certainty that I do have some abilities, I know that they aren't very well-developed and I have little confidence in my notions. I suppose my question is, to put it simply: Is the Watcher strictly a part of the self, or can it be the spirit of another?

My current theory is that in a past life, I was killed--but I remained, and watched over and guided  this woman for the remainder of her life; and now she is returning the favor. Does this seem plausible? Just looking for some opinions, or perhaps some insight as to how I could get some sort of confirmation of my theory. I am currently "training" myself to go out of body; attempting to contact my Watcher is number 1 on my list for when I succeed.

Thanks.

demigod: no, that's not how I define it. the dashes indicate a part of the sentence aside from the main idea; I was noting that I am an empath in order to explain that I am familiar with the sensation of having emotions come from an outside source. Like I said I'm not very knowledgable about any of this or the terminology, as mostly everything I do know comes from what I experience. I say I'm a empath because I can directly feel the emotions of others. That is not to say that I believe it's at all a supernatural ability, but that would be how I would define it.

pod3: thanks for the input. as I said, the problem is that I have a lot of doubt in my own perceptions. even if I did receive an answer I would tend to second-guess it until I was left with no certainty. Really I was just looking for outside opinions on the topic, nothing more.
