Quote From: elffieI know this may sound very weird or even crazy to some, but I believe that some fears we have in this life may be caused from a previous one. Your fear about being buried alive may as well could have happened before. I know, I know it sounds weird, but I do believe this. I had a fear of childbirth and I still have one of heights and I think something may have happened in a past life to make me this way.
Now, for those people who have fears of people in costume or ice cream, well....now that's crazy! LOL
I think you are absolutely correct, and NOT weird or crazy at all, about fears generating from perhaps a previous life.
For whatever it's worth, my two biggest fears are burning and falling. And I don't even know why. Falling and heights is my largest fear followed by being burned in a fire. So that is why the 9/11 events at the World Trade Center affected me so deeply. Because those people were so between a rock and a hard place, having to choose between two of the worst ways to go.
I have been on these message boards a lot. I think the older you get, the less scared you are about how death occurs. Earthquakes, fires, childhood fears of ghosts, buried alive (claustrophobia -- one of my BIG ones), drowning, etc.
On the other hand, I have been such a big fan of horror over my whole life. Movies and books, I eat them up big time. Stephen King, Dean Koontz, the movies ranging from . . eh, I don't know . . . 50's science fiction ("Them") to present day horror like "The Grudge". . I loved "Saw" (in which Dr. Phil parodies in his "big screen" debut Scary Movie 4". I can't wait to see it. Go figure. I just don't like it when it happens for real to real people.
