That very much depends on your religions and belief system actually VioletStar, there's no steadfast rule that you must remain the same thing between reincarnations and there's certainly not enough proof to claim either way for definate.
I wouldn't think it too likely though that the spirit would change that much over such a relatively short time frame and I doubt that you'd remember it so well. The interesting aspect is that you see strawberries, you don't feel you are a strawberry so instead I think it's more likely that you were someone who was "close to strawberries" ( I couldn't think of a better way of putting it). Perhaps you liked strawberries or they were momentous in some way to that past life, perhaps you were allergic to strawberries and they killed you, there are endless possibilities on it.
I disagree because it puts so many practices into the thrash . Then what do we do as humans to seek spiritual ascension for ? If we are going to be stuck as a particular life form for all of our reincarnations , what is the point of us seeking ascension ?
That very idea simply just thrashed all the practices that regards ascension.
I myself have known several people who were other beings on their past lives , and became human .
I too have also known people in this life who have died and eventually moved on to another state of existence in the course of their rebirth and reincarnation .
My main point is that I disagree with you a fair bit and am mildly offended due to you just thrashing off so many other related practices regarding ascension .
I believe ascention to be the final step... nothing follows outside of the astral. Many cultures believe thatr reincarnation is because of an inability to ascend.
Ascension have varying states . I suppose if you are as a higher being such as a fae for example , you could consider that you have ascended .
I refer to ascension and in certain practices , the term ascension can be used
When you are at a higher level than a human and is not only utilized as on what you have described alone
Like maybe strawberries are a symbol of your life because you discovered strawberries or they were a huge part of your life and that they effected your entire life
I guess I was most likely close to strawberries. But if I was a strawberry, I hope that I was eaten cause I wouldn't have wanted to be left alone to rot.
Yes, it is possible, but not likely. Look at your hands, if there are lots of lines in your palms then you have been human for many life times.
But yes to my understanding, we evolve, we start out in the mineral kingdom and then move to the plants, then animals and finally to human. Always moving forward, never going back. But I would say that the strawberry is symbolic of something, meditate on the strawberry and see if you get an answer.
