I often experience a deja vu feeling, although I'm not a very spiritual man...

Past-Life Regression is a New Age belief. But I think you're just describing Deja vu, the feeling you've been in the situation before. Deja vu happens to everyone, I don't know why, but some scientist probably does, check Wikipedia.

I always "wondered" if some of my interests were due to past life "residue"....I tend to be more interested in the posibility of reincarnation from the "eastern religion" stand point then pagan or wiccan.
Actually,I wasnt aware these groups believed in past lives.I think my association of past life with my
interests was because they seemed unusual(compared to my peers and family)and very intense...
One example was my "obsession" with witches
..I dont know where it came from(started around 1970)
My feeling was that "witches" were good...not scary or evil...I thought they had magic because they were in touch with nature,which I loved.As I got older,I learned more about the history of "wisewomen"
and this confirmed my chidhood beliefs that these women were unjustly persecuted.I was also interested in Native American Spirituality,Paganism,Alians,Buddhism.....The Irony is that I have a real problem with any groups who try and get me to "conform" so I make a lousy convert(to cynical)...

I have deja'vu of having the deja'vu. And sometimes triple deja'vu. This is a conundrum because when I go to say "I just had deja'vu", I stop myself because I have deja'vu of having said "I just had deja'vu". Sometimes I have it a 3rd time in sequence. I experience deja'vu very often. An interesting part of this phenomenon is that every once in a while deja'vu is not isolated to the present moment, sometimes it will extend to superpositions of the past and/or future.

Okay, I don't have any weird time traveling experience when I undergo deja vu, but instead of just having a feeling that I've been some place before, I remember vivid details of the last time I was there, such as the time on clocks, and the lighting in the room, and I remember the exact time (weeks, months, or years) of the memory that is being remembered. I should probably be tested for this or something to help science uncover the structure of whatever it is that causes deja vu. One observation is that deja vu occurs to me when a certain stimuli triggers a memory of a similar situation. At work this summer I experienced a 15-20 second deja vu experience in response to a caller's username, and in that time I remembered the last time I had helped that user, about a month ago, and details.... the lights were on above me, two people were sitting next to me, and the caller was from Illinois. I'll probably never mention this again and was hesitant to do so here in the first place because it does sound a little crazy.
