For today's thefridayfive:

1.Do you believe in reincarnation?
I like the idea of reincarnation to an extent but I don't actually believe it happens.

2.Have you ever felt that you knew someone the first time you met them?
All the time but only based on looks - usually based on nothing. There's no reason they should be physically familiar, but they are. Not as in "I know you down in your soul." Although I do think we all have common threads between us and you can totally "GET" someone you just met.

3.Have you ever visited a foreign country or city for the first time and found that you knew exactly where things were?
Never ever. Terrible sense of direction in all ways. In fact, I barely know where things are in the city where I live! (Only been here 10 months, but still!)

4.Have you ever looked in the mirror and 'seen' a different face?
I mean, yes and no. People change.

5.Is the belief in UFOs, aliens, phsycic powers, etc, growing because the belief in religion is dying?
I actually think both the belief in the paranormal/extra terrestrial life AND religiousness are dying. (Very slowly, not in our lifetimes, or even the lifetimes beyond that.) We just know too much. Also technology/science has advanced too much. Scientifically aliens and UFOs aren't impossible, though. So maybe that one will be the last hold-out.
