First, an aside. We don’t use or like the terms “kins” (more appropriate terminology: kintypes) or kinning (more appropriate terminogy: being fictionkin) but we have discussed this in other posts, and the topic is best further discussed outside of the reply to this very good and interesting question.

When you say “tropes” I hear “common personality traits, events and experiences.”

In our experience it is extremely common for spiritual  fictionkin to have recurring “tropes” that repeat or echo throughout their various lifetimes and kintypes. Sometimes recognizing a “trope” common to your awakened kintypes can be the first step and starting place for questioning to determine if something is a kintype or not.

There are certain common threads I recognize as repeated events throughout my lives. I consider these repetitions from a very spiritual standpoint; repeated personality traits and common choices I make in each lifetime are a reassuring reminder of the continuity of self that lasts beyond incarnation.

Repeated incidents, meanwhile, things that seem to happen to me over and over again that I have no control over; those I understand to be a mark of my ‘fate’ in some way, or a kind of mark on my existence. 

As for what your friend says, that the kintypes that you connect to the most easily are the ones that are most relevant to your current life, and therefore trigger the most memories– I think there is a lot of merit in that line of thinking, from my personal experience.

For myself, the kintypes that have awakened most easily are the ones with experiences that echo intense experiences I have had in this life in some way, usually painful ones. Kintypes that don’t immediately spark that kind of connection are always harder to question, and harder to determine if they’re really a kintype or not.  You might spend a lot of time thinking ‘is that really me’ even if the answer is firmly ‘yes’, just because there is currently more spiritual ‘distance’ between that incarnation and this one.

So, in summary, yes, I think “kin tropes” are very much a thing, though I wouldn’t call them that. I think it’s easy, and important, to recognize the patterns, cycles, and consistency in our journey through our lifetimes.
