I believe we do relive the same life over and over. But reliving and doing exactly the same things are 2 totally different ideas and aspects.

I believe every choice you make sends you down a different pathway. These pathways intersect and mingle at different points in one's life. There are infinite choices in one's lifetime to choose from and even the slightest choice makes a huge difference.

You run 5 minutes late because you chose to take a longer shower. Because you did you missed being in a severe car accident that killed 3 people. In a previous life you had chosen not to take that long of a shower and had left on time. In that previous life you died in the accident.

Thus the choices eventually lead to a longer life because you learned previously what had happened before. Now, we do this infinitely until all choices are played out.

The world still reacts the same. The events are the same, the leaders are the same because noone else's choices affect your life. Your life choices are the only things that affect only your existence. The same people enter your life maybe in different ways but the friends and family you have and the enemies you make are the same every life.

So if there's a nuclear war in your lifetime it happens the same day the same time, no matter what your choices are.

Your future lives are based on the first life you led. Your choices affect your life to some degree and can have you living longer but overall the life is the same.

It is a great theory, is it possible? Yes, why not?

Every men has his own philosophy and theory of what life is. Noone has yet been proven right nor has anyone been proven wrong, and I don't think anyone will ever be.

By the way Deja Vu, doesn't mean you are changing your life, simply means you've been there before, so yes, you can live the exact same life over and over and have Deja Vu. Why the rolling eyes, I don't understand as again noone truly knows any answers and noone is right or wrong because there is no proof what the meaning and what life truly is.
