I am very new to Buddhism and meditation also but all ready the ideas of rebirth - in a very general sense - have become apparent to me, in much the way you described, Looking for Peace. I have ceased feeling that I am a separate entity in this world but rather am connected through love to an even greater Love...one that is timeless, without beginning or end, but flows vibrantly throughout.

I am wrestling with the idea of reincarnation, and honestly do not understand it completely as it exists in Buddhist tradition but since I have begun sitting, I have had moments of such incredible insight about things that seem quite random .. that my conscious mind was never even engaged with, cared about. One such insight is that moments that I once termed deja vu are more often moments of remembrance. With a wary ( I don't want to become caught in an illusion of my own making) but open mind, I explore this idea when it happens. This seems to reinforce the idea that my energy/chi has been manifest in the world before now. Whether this is rebirth/reincarnation .. idk.

I too love the Ah-HAH moments Priceless.
