Is the only good friend a past life friend? Did we meet before?  Is there a test to determine which friends are true good friends from the past? Yes, I will explain. What a wonderful experience it is to recognize and meet somebody you new before, a person with whom you have journeyed the same road map of life within previous incarnations. So, in one way we are all strangers traveling by ourselves through this life. Isn’t it true? no one who you think is yours is yours. No one can be owned by someone and no one can control or own anybody else. We each have our own individual karmic destinies with its own course. But in another way we are not alone in this life. There are some strong relationships that endure that’s why family members are recognizable from past lives, but every once in a while we meet others with whom we knew from prior lives, such as childhood friends.

Even though they have nothing in common with our current incarnations, they are just souls we have known before so be aware that there are many true friends from past lives that you will meet again and to one of them you could say “at last we have found each other again” this is why there is love at first sight or finding your soul mate at long last, or the faithful guru disciple relationship or finding past best friends.

Who are these people who are so close to us? The spiritual master tells us there are some cherished relationships that remain and from which we draw protection, strength and happiness. These souls are not always born into our family, but with whom we have an inner closeness of an unending friendship. Many lives are needed to build a foundation of friendship, it is never secured in one life but many lives are needed to develop a pillar of friendship.
 
Every now and then there is one whom you know at first glance when you first meet that you have known from the past long ago, with whom you feel instantly an immense closeness as you first meet. It’s nothing physical, it is a rekindled memory of the past. The friendship was not finished in the last incarnation so it had to continue now to grow stronger and picks up where you left off to evolve in this life.

In a crowd of strangers how do you recognize those you knew before? Be watchful whenever you first meet someone and notice your initial reaction. This can tell you a great deal whether or not you knew those people before. If you have the feeling of deep harmony in your heart with another
