I have been on a spiritual journey recently and have some questions regarding Hinduism. A little history about myself first though. I was raised as a Christian but the older I got the more I started questioning my Christian beliefs and really got to a point where I didn't even want to consider myself to be a Christian. I took a World Religions class and it truly opened my eyes as to what other religions are out there. I was drawn to Hinduism and started my research. I feel like the research alone has enlightened me and I feel more at home with the Hindu beliefs. I do however have a few questions.
1. What is the belief regarding angels? Do Hindu's believe they are real or not?
2. Regarding reincarnation, does a person retain anything from their past lives? Maybe a characteristic or personality trait or even sexual interests?
My thought process for #2 is if in a past life you were a straight man naturally attracted to women and then in your new life you are a woman and find that you are attracted to women. Could this be a result in your sexual interests in your past life? Or let's say with a transgender individual who believes they should have been born the opposite sex. Could this be because in their past life they were that opposite sex?
