Past Life Recall and Place Affinity Survey [Archive]

for the last few days, i have been contemplating making a thread to ask other members what they can recall of any past lives from dream, etc, or if they have any place affinity, meaning certain times and places that speak to them. this subject is very facsinating to me and i have been searching on this site about this subject. i would love to hear back from you out there what types of memories you have, please share :)

i will go first, i have had several deep meditation experiences that have led me to some of these images. i do not know if they are real memories or not, and thats ok, whatever they are, they are still strong and interesting.

first, i have lots of images that have come to me of being a priestess type person in ancient egypt, one of the most striking images that comes is of being on my knees in front of a striking woman (high priestess?) in very ornate jewelry, and feeling somesort of initiation.
second, i resonate firmly with the celtic culture and have an image that comes back time and again of night time in a forest taking part in somesort of ceremony, wearing light colored robes.
third, i have had some images of being a monk in 1200's brittany, being on my knees on a cold stone floor and then working over a manuscript of images.
fourth, hazy thoughts of medieval france
fifth, lots of affinity to tudor england, specifically the period of anne bolyen
sixth, some images of india, not clear on this at all though
seventh, some images of being a painter in early 1800s england
and absolutely nothing after that
most of the themes that come to me are of service, being involved in religion and art. i had a friend once tell me that she saw that i had some terrible endings and had once been more outspoken. she saw lots of fear in me and said i needed to learn to open up and communicate, and that i used my paintings as a cover to hide behind. since then i have been trying to over come those fears and it has been wonderful to see the progress. i am so excited to even be here on this site sharing, when before i could never do that for fear of being branded as weird or worse. alot of thanks goes out to people on this forum for showing me their openness, i thank you for that.

so, now i would love to hear from you out there! i can't wait to hear about what you all have learned or are learning!:)

honestly i do not have any *past life* images but very often in my life, seeing someone for the first time in my life, gave me the deja vu impression. quite strange to me

the only thing i can remember, is what i could call: between lives
i remember very clearly, *floating in space*, being surrounded by stars, everywhere. i could see the black universe, filled with white, yellow, blue and red lights. i think, i'm not sure, that i was very close to a star, cause i have the image of a very big red/yellow star.
i do not remember any specific feeling or emotion, but i remember that it wasn't negative at all. it is still pretty hard for me to explain what i can remember, but i can all assure you, according to my personnal memories, there is life after death.

maybe i was a planet or a rock, or just *hanging around*

for the last few days, i have been contemplating making a thread to ask other members what they can recall of any past lives from dream, etc, or if they have any place affinity, meaning certain times and places that speak to them.

jehanne, i admire your courage in stepping forward and boldly introducing such a topic. this topic has been heavily on my mind for the past several weeks. as far as affinity, i've traveled to england a couple of times and "recognized" places. i followed some tug to drive down along a tiny little winding road to a strange place called mackworth castle. i felt strangely at home there, weird as that place was.

much more forceful were the "memories" that surfaced at guildford castle, in surrey. the first time i walked into the castle keep, i *knew* i had been there many times before, walked through the same doors, and returned the greetings. i almost wanted to find a page to toss my cloak to -- it was that vivid.

years ago i became deeply interested in reincarnation around the time i became involved in a historical re-enactment society. in a nutshell, i was watching a couple of guys whanging away at each other with rattan swords (sort of like soft wood, no metal, no edges), and i commented to a friend there on the fact that the two fighters seemed equally matched so that neither one could seem to gain the advantage. i kept watching, and then commented, "that fellow on the left has a very slight advantage, if he could use it, and he could win with ... a blow to the head." seconds later, the one fellow charged in and took the bout with a sudden sharp blow to the head.

understand that i knew nothing about swordfighting - at least not that style, although i had fenced some in college. my friend looked at me with a look that said, "you have some kind of secret knowledge you haven't told me about." i admit it, i was stunned too, at the clear certainty with which i had "seen" which was the better fighter, and where the defensive weak area lay.

that was the first domino, the one that set the others in motion. i came to have a strong sense of having been a warrior, many times. scenes started flashing through my head - scenes of training, scenes of fighting, scenes of returning home - and scenes of not returning home, but dying on the battlefield.

there was no way to tell where those images came from. however, they had a very different quality from ordinary images that the imagination produces. they were more vivid, more 'real,' more clear and colorful. i had been taught the scientific method, and i knew that there were few if any solid conclusions i could draw from images in the imagination. nevertheless, they seemed to be a part of me - and if push comes to shove in the scientific realm, you also cannot prove to me that your own nose exists. science can be as tricky as mysticism, and as subject to biases of all sorts. for instance:

"the wrong view of science betrays itself in the craving to be right; for it is not his possession of knowledge, of irrefutable truth, that makes the man of science, but his persistent and recklessly critical quest for truth." - sir karl popper

http://www.dharma-haven.org/science/terrible-truth.htm

there is a limit to what science can tell you, just as there is a limit to what mystical experience can tell you. the point is to know the limits of both. many moderns have no clue as to the limitations of science, but even go so far as to elevate science to the status of a god - all-knowing, never wrong. that's about as ludicrous as it can get. to those people, i sometimes prove to them that their own nose does not exist, by challenging and dismissing the channels of information. how do you know - mirrors? ha! stage magicians use mirrors to deliberately blur the boundaries between existence and non-existence! etc.

but i put most of that interest in past lives aside, since having to confront the daily realities of chronic illness, and that's been a good 15 years. i felt i had extracted all the knowledge i needed from it anyway. since coming to divine cosmos, though, new images have come to life in my imagination. it started when i read through reams of material here & came across the idea that the 4dn's, the 4th density negative beings, came to earth as a sort of last-resort effort to increase the harvest after all else had failed. the plan had been to make the negative/dark side so vivid that it would create much greater incentive for earthlings to choose the light.

i began to "feel" that i was among those 4dn's. i began to feel like i was among their leaders.

that is the crappiest feeling i have ever had. i hated the thought, pretty much like david at first hated the thought of being edgar caybe born again. evidence piled up and forced david to accept the preponderence of evidence. i, in contrast, have no evidence except the imagery inside me. it is powerful.

i "remember" lifetimes in england. fighting. occasionally singing as a minstrel. once in a while suffering terribly as an artist, priest, or peasant - i made the medieval rounds. i discovered every way there is of wasting time on this planet. more recently i "remembered" dying in world war ii. i'm not ready to talk about it yet publicly. it's too close.

so that's pretty much my response to the courage you showed in bringing this topic up, jehanne. you've been an artist, while i've been a warrior. i think i tried painting during one lifetime, but it didn't work out too well. who knows? maybe you painted me in armor once. lol

so that's my stuff, hauled out and thrown on the table for everyone to inspect. junky, ain't it? :) now i hope it's somebody else's turn.

i have had a couple of recallections...

i definitely was in ancient rome. i saw myself as a boy in a roman therma. not sure what function i performed there... but i did see a soldier trying to make passes at me.
in this life i met this guy in the gym once. funny he was making a complimentary comments about my legs... so the centuries and probably many lives didn't teach him anything. since i saw him he changed his gender (in this incarnation)- a long story.

another one is when i was a monk in, probably french midevil monastery. a was a poet of some sort, and someone came into my cell and stabbed me in the back.
this certain someone i'm marrie to in this life. that i know through the experience of past life regression.

another one i was a mean sort of actor somewhere in ancient asia, likely indonesia. i was some sort of actor and or theater manager. we travelled with my troop from island to island on our boat. i was pretty ruthless and sexually abusive to my group of actors, mostly women. during one trip they through me overboard.
i'm not sure i believe all that stuff, and not sure at all of the ordre in which it goes.
great struff.

all is well.

love to all

for me it's a time and place.
by the dress and blouse it would be about 1890 usa. a tall victorian wooden house out in a rural area. i'm looking down from a third story bedroom window onto a white or live oak tree. i see a dirt carriage road curving up to the house. i'm waiting for someone to come.
the only emotional connection i have is one of contentment and peace.
this image has been with me for years. it's one i retreat to when i'm tired.

when i first began my spiritual journey, it was others pointing out past lives to me, rather than finding out on my own. but they fit many things, explained many things when i was told. it was very brief indeed.

i believe that many of the things we love, even as children, before we "consciously" choose to 'like' something, will exhibit signs of past lives. i also attribute this to soul mates, because i do believe we are given signs and clues on how to find them. for example, how many of us just one day decided, i think i prefer blondes to brunettes? short to tall? etc. for most of us, this information is a 'given'. i believe such things are clues, that if you pay attention, and write them all down, you can pinpoint where to look, or where the person is from, etc.

it is like this with past lives as well. for so very long, i have always loved the medieval period - most especially my interest ranges during the 8th-12th centuries. it is so strong that i long to go back. i love swords, of all kinds, but most especially for the area im most inclined towards which is scotland and parts of britony.

i had one person do a short reading and tell me that in the 12th or 13th century i was male, a wanderer, and made my living on the road...
i have had another person also confirm this, but see we also are soul sisters, and she was the first to remind me of a life in scotland.

when i began to meditate and seek answers on my own, what i have come up with thats most prominent is:

1) i believe my first incarnation was in either scotland or perhaps saxony. im leaning towards saxony because the details that came to me such as style of home and dress... i believe 9th century due to the fact that the keep was originally and old wooden fortress, and over time it was becoming fortified with stone. this is the only life ive actually had a vision of, and what i saw was that i left one of the towers to walk along the parapets. i do not know who my father was, what station in life, but i do know he was the leader and owned the keep... he had invited many of the surrounding leaders to come so that they could discuss treaties and unification, i cant say for sure but it felt like it was to unite against an outside foe.
in the main hall, it was rowdy and just an atmosphere i preferred not to be in.. so i chose to walk along the parapet. i saw myself stop and stare out over the tops of the trees in the surrounding forest, and at the moon. while i watched my past self doing this, i also saw below the parapet a few more visitors arriving, two men, apparent father and son. the father was speaking quietly to the son, and although i couldnt hear, i knew that the father was reminding the son of his task in murdering me - they were against my fathers plan. as if drawn, the son looked straight up exactly where i was and stared, as the father went in the hall.
eventually i crossed the parapet and followed the stairs down to make my way into the forest. i know the son followed me - but it got to a point i was falling asleep and losing the hold on focus, so i do not know if he carried out his plan or not.

2) i was a templar. more of what i know stems from "knowing", but the details have come from readings... that it was 13th century, i was guarding a spice trade route in or around india and was making my way 'home' (apparently i was going home, but i was headed to england) when i was accosted by a group of knights of columbus.
the funny thing is, before i had the reading done, i knew i felt a strong empathy towards the templars, and i would read information about them and just think 'no they have this wrong'.
i make jewelry and had purchased some beads off of ebay. the seller decided to add some free extras in there so when i got the items, as i was going through them, i pulled out a blue equal sided cross from the free items and instantly felt very wrong - like nauseous. i couldnt figure out why - in fact i was thinking maybe this bead had been touched by something, or such. when i brought it up to my friend who does the readings, i asked her if she sensed what i was feeling and she said no - she then told me she thought i already knew this whole time that i was a templar in a past life, and it was there that she had informed me about the knights of columbus. in my previous research on the templars, i had never gotten too far in the details really, so i had not known of them at all.

i am curious if anyone has had this happen to them before, they pick up something or such and it creates an unexplainable reaction and later you find out its due to a past life.

3) i know i was a prostitute in one life. lol later i had it verified and more details...died from the black plague in france.

i really responded to this, it is really a beautiful statement :) all we can do is go with what feels right to us at any given moment and many of these things that feel right can never be proved in any way, but does that make them any less real? i think not for the most beautiful things about living are often intangible and ephemeral.
thanks for sharing everyone, it is wonderful to read the responses!
by the way, since writing, last night i had a dream, and in it i was an old bitter woman sitting alone in my living room, there was an old fashioned radio playing in the background. it was a living room with faded brocaded looking wallpaper, heavy curtains and a faded and rattly looking but must have once been nice rug on the floor. there were some serious feelings of failure and loss in the dream and when i awoke, i had the feeling that this could be linked to the life i had before this one that had previously been very difficult to access. who knows, either way it was a vivid dream :) i love to dream!

i was a christian monk. nothing senior. i swept the garden path. it was my garden path and i kept it clean. the cleanliness of my path was so important that the elders of the monestary would stop and give me right of way if i was sweeping the path.

a clean garden path is obviously essential to a mans happiness... :d

past life regression added that it was probably near st. petersburg, and that the sweeping was part of a life long exercise. also we used to burry ourselves in the basement in a reconstruction of christs death and resurrection.

the only question left for me about that time is: who swept my path in my occasional 3 day absence. these are important questions. the cleandliness of this path was my lives work.

did i mention i considered sweeping the path an important concern?

i meet many people from past lives, all the time. we can literally look at eachother and say oh, well hello again. i remember you from many many lives ago. many of the folks have been into the art of dance, namely belly dancing. i'm convinced it was many many many years ago.

i dont doubt, nor does anyone else who knows me doubt, that perhaps i was a teen in the 1960's. i over did my early 70's, apparently. i've had the dream, and it makes me laugh, becuase it's sooo something that i would have done (even in this life, had i not learned from the last.) mere lessons from past a past live, that carried over into this one ;). but i love it here, i love it soooo much, and i musta really wanted to come back, and fast, because i was born in '79, and the vision and memories i have are of early to mid 70's. i also have to wonder, at times, if i was born in the 50's or so, but i was supposed to be younger in this time, so my destination of that time, had to end, in order to be where i am today. my life is so different now, then it would be if i was perhaps my moms age.

many say that i'm a very old soul, and most of the people i connect with spiritually and intellectually are much older then i, but i influence guide, understand and assist so many people that are my age. i feel that it's part of the reason i'm here....but hell, i have no clue....it actually just makes me happy to do it.

i have my attachments to times, but i dont remember things from them...but i also dont remember my own childhood, and that was practically yesterday, and my jr. high years are next to gone from my mind. highschool has blips and peices of memory, tho not much...but i did inhale in hs...and by that i mean alot. ;)

i have my dreams tho, and they take place not here, not even so much as here on this planet.

perhaps there was a life many lifes ago that led me to many many years of healing. and perhaps i finally healed, and had to make up for lost time by returning back to back. i donno, life is a funny thing, that just entertains the hell out of me.

great topic by the way :cool:

ive been a male in a lot of my past lives. i dream and see myself as the opposite sex all the time and i dont think anything of it.

ive lived in maccu pichu, where i met one of my guides named "mehi."
ive lived in egypt, too. where i met my other guide amenhotep. (not the pharoah!)
all my life ive had such an affinity to these places, especially egypt. always egypt. as a kid, my dad would cater to my love of that place and we'd watch every show or movie we could that had egypt in it. anything with the pyramids.
ive also lived as an english monk. and irish writer. and more.

its funny too because in all my past lives, ive still been interested heavily in the same things i do now. art and writing. in egypt i was an artisan. i carved heiroglyphs, i made beautiful papyrus writings, made statues and art. in england i created the most beautiful calligraphic scripts of the bible and of the sermons and of prayers. the list goes on. its just interesting to see how what i used to think was a "natural" gift of talent, i see is really a learned talent. which logically makes more sense to me anyway. ;)

i find this discussion irresistable. i have only discussed what i have discovered of my past lives with very close friends, not because of the fabric of those lives but because most people would think i was ready for the assylum.

i have never had a past life regression so what i know is for the most part from meditational visions and one from a dream. i will relate them in historical sequence though i learned them not in that order.

the earliest lifetime that i have recalled was as a priest of an isis/athene temple in karnac egypt during the 4th to 3rd century bc. i was a helenized egyptian and was attached to a division of alexander's troops who where traveling by ship from egypt to persia. (i have a dear friend in india who has been a soul companion through many lifetimes.) i had with me my accolyte who was also my young brother,and who was my indian soul brother mentioned above. during our sail the ships run into a terrible cyclone storm and capsize. i and my young brother manage to stay afloat and alive by clinging to debrie from the ships while it seems all the others perish. we eventually are rescued by fisherman from somewhere in india, a village or town called anchara or ankara and as we had no way of returning to egypt settled in this village. i have not been able to identify this town but the name was very vivid in the vision. that is all i recall of that life time.

the next lifetime i envisioned was much later, but in north america prior to the european settlers. i was a shaman of a tribe of plains indians. i recall seeing myself sitting in front of my skin dwelling/ tepee, working with some small objects, perhaps making a peace pipe, while others were preparing for some sort of celebration with a large fire in the center of the village. i recall the rhythmic sound of drums and bird bone whistles.

a short time later, i revisited this lifetime and this time i was somewhat older, was holding my young child and we two were watching a similar celebration, this time with the tribesmen dancing about the fire in a circle. it was a very joyful time with much food and laughter, so it must have been a thanks giving festival of some sort. remember it was the native americans who introduced the thanks giving festival to the europeans.

more close to the current period, was a dream which was extremely vivid and realistic. i have troubled over the memory of this for some time and have settled my thoughts about it now. what my dream involved was the last few moments of a life in america around the late 30's before wwii. i was a man of late twenties, early thirties, i was being chased in a warf area, down a long pier. others were attempting to shoot me and eventually do, killing me. i have meditated on this frequently as initially i thought i was a criminal of some sort being chased by police. i realize now that it was the other way around, that i was killed because i had lead the authorities to others who were involved in criminal activity. i believe this took place in san francisco but it could be manhattan because i have affinity for both places and have lived in both cities. this was the last incarnation prior to what i am about to relate.

this was revealed to me in a deep meditation on august 14 of 2008. i remember exactly because i was so stunned by the information that i later wrote down some notes.

my primary purpose for this meditation was a forgiveness act. i and my mother never had a loving relationship during our lives. she died some ten years ago and i was unable to see her before she died. so i was working of forgiveness for her and myself for the division we had shared. i was contemplating the anger she seemed to have toward me and then i was given the knowledge as follows. nine months before i was born, my mother gave birth prematurely to a baby girl, caroline anne who died 6 hours after birth. when i was born, i was a boy. my mother had hoped desparately for another daughter. she was full of disappointment, anger and resentment that i was not that daughter she so fervently hoping for. therefore i was not given the love that should have been there.

if this was not enough, i realized that the spirit of me, i, had not been able with the birth of caroline anne to fulfill its precarnative contracts with the persons who were my father, mother and others in that group. when her lifetime was ended prematurely which is likely to have had a deep purpose as well, that spirit immediately re-entered the cycle by incarnating into the child that would be me. so i am my own sister. better stated, my previous incarnation was as my sister.

i have realized that a lot of other things about my life derive from this occurance but those are another set of stories for another time.

now, i have since i was a young child had a fascination with egypt, india and native american cultures. i have native american heritage as my grandmother was choctaw. my friend in india and i are like blood brothers, we share feelings together and can anticipate what the other is going to say or do or when one is ill. yet we have never in this life physically met. we have agreed that we have shared numerous lifetimes. i have other friends with whom i and they feel connections to other times and places.
and so it is.

i forgot to mentions a thread which runs through all of the lifetimes i have recalled. in each one, i was in some way involved with spiritual matters, as a temple priest, a tribal shaman, and in my current life i have been an ordained minister and served in several different religious organizations from fundamentalist to liturgical in form. the only carnation which doesn't appear to have a spiritual connection is the one which i was shot. that is still a mystery life.

i haven't had past life memories as such, but i have been told by psychics that many of my current friends were acquaintances in previous lives. that, and i've had the tangible feeling of becoming very close to certain people after only knowing them a few months; a sense of familiarity that isn't proportionate to the amount of time we've known each other.

the only carnation which doesn't appear to have a spiritual connection is the one which i was shot. that is still a mystery life.

berry, this may be irrelevant, but i'll share it anyway. as soon as i read your description of events at the wharf, some of my educated instincts kicked in. my years of working inside prisons instantaneously told me that you were not by any means a criminal. it immediately became obvious that you were targeted by criminals. i know i'm biased, since i like you, but nevertheless i'd like to think my instincts are still on target.

another reason it interests me is that if i mentally put myself in that time and place as your friend, i would have advised you something like this: "if these criminals are operating in this urban area, you would be much safer to assume that they are allowed to be operating there by local law enforcement. leave it alone. you are not responsible for these people or their activities. you can expect them to be vindictive if you involve yourself in any way, and you don't need that."

somebody may have even given you advice like that at the time. however, i can tell you as a pk (preacher's kid) with the idealism that goes along with it, it is very difficult to have that kind of street smarts when so many of your incarnations have been so deeply involved in spiritual pursuits. the ugly but true fact is, there exists a balance between law enforcement and criminals, and if someone throws that balance off, it is entirely possible that something worse might come along to take its place.

i seem to have strong feelings about all this, almost as if i wish i could travel back in time and have a long brotherly heart-to-heart talk with you. now i am very curious whether my response strikes anything in you. if not, this is still very interesting.

the story about you and your older sister-self is touching to me. thank you for sharing that.

sunshine, i think that is absolutely fascinating and touching. i have already felt like i knew you, just from posts on this board. i am curious if you have any of that feeling reciprocated toward me. either way, i am really touched by anyone coming back from the 60's. of course you are right, it was a time of great excesses. :) it was a spiritual time too. if i wrote a slogan for that era, it would probably be:
"bless our excess."

i have the funniest thought just running through my mind - it's possible you could have been someone i knew in college between '69 and '73. :) it's giving me a little cold chill or two. i'd be very interested in any thoughts you might have on that topic. :)

thanks for sharing, sunshine.

i meet many people from past lives, all the time. we can literally look at eachother and say oh, well hello again.

oh yes, ive definitely experienced this! once you are open to it you see it more and more often.

many say that i'm a very old soul, and most of the people i connect with spiritually and intellectually are much older then i, but i influence guide, understand and assist so many people that are my age. i feel that it's part of the reason i'm here....but hell, i have no clue....it actually just makes me happy to do it.

i know how you feel, i have had the same, and feel it as well - and sometimes it can get a little frustrating when you havent come to full realization of what you are supposed to do, because you want to do it :)

i have my attachments to times, but i dont remember things from them...but i also dont remember my own childhood, and that was practically yesterday, and my jr. high years are next to gone from my mind.

i have the same! is there any explanation to this? i think psychiatrists would try to say weve repressed memories, especially due to a tragic event in the past... but thats not the case for me. i dont handle things the way other people do - for example my mother and father divorced at a very young age, i grew up without a father - but it never bothered me. i see all these people whining about growing up without one of the parents, and i dont understand it. is it entitlement issues that they have? im in the frame of mind - my father wasnt there, he wasnt there - so what... i think its because im responsible for who i become, im not shaped entirely by him being there or not. there are a few things that obviously would affect it, like growing up without a male figure in my life has made me very very shy in person around men, even though im bold as heck in my voice lol, so im not discounting that theres no affect at all. i just dont understand when people cross the line into it ruining their life, or they do not know who they are and blame it on that. thats the closest ive ever had to a tragic event that i remember - but ive always also been of the frame of mind... im very strong willed, and i always break apart things to look at how they work on the inside. meaning if a problem comes, rather than run and hide (ignore) from it, i disassemble it to work at resolving it.
so... with that above, you can see im not the type to repress memories (perhaps just go off on tangents! rofl)

so why cant i remember much of my childhood? i remember some things but not alot. i know many people seem to remember their childhood normally. does this have to do with how long we have been reincarnating, how many lives we have under our belts? is it like... our spiritual memory can only retain so much memories so in order to keep some of the past we have to discard some of the present?

i have my dreams tho, and they take place not here, not even so much as here on this planet.
ive never had this myself, but i know several of my friends have. in part 1 of the project camelot interview, david refers to the book that asks the questions on the back... i looked up those questions and im like... no... no...no...no... rofl that being said, im yes to all the questions for indigos.

perhaps there was a life many lifes ago that led me to many many years of healing.
this too, i concur. ive had it verified by a few separate readings, but also ive just felt it... it seems like i have no 'memory' of any of my lives where im not facing persecution of some sort - constantly beaten down. i sense this even with the lives i dont remember at all... just that across the board... constantly being told that im worthless, all the lives... i know im fighting that in this life, but ive noticed that every time i begin to believe having value, something happens on a cosmic level to say nope.. lol what is this... some kind of test? lol or as you say above... is it healing?

kassandraloves ive been a male in a lot of my past lives. i dream and see myself as the opposite sex all the time and i dont think anything of it.
i dont know if i have been most of my lives, but i do know that in this life ive never understood what its like to be a female - even though i am. lol growing up, my best friend used to joke with me about being one... im not a tomboy, its not that i like sports or that kind of thing lol, its just i can understand the male perspective and side with it more. it also doesnt help my case with her that im 5'11 and broad shouldered lol
do you find the past lives, the male ones, affecting this life today?

it looks like everyones been to egypt, but me lol
it also seems like everyone has been able to have more clearer information when they have meditated, i only get little tiny bits of pieces i end up having collaborated with others.
but i could look straight at my friend and just knew instantly she had been a nun in a past life.

thanks for all the sharing everyone, i love reading about your thoughts and memories. i feel compelled to share some more with you all, so here goes:)
i live in france now, but was born in the us, but since i was young, i have always been crazy about the country, mainly the middle ages. i learned the language begining at 12 and now speak fairly fluently, but i always felt frustrated that i don't speak like a native (meaning i have a strong american accent) the first time i visited the country, i had an intense emotional reaction, of coming home, of familiarity, that i felt inspired to write constantly, (i have a very long travel journal of my experiences that i would be willing to email to you if any one is interested). one of the strongest reactions happened while visiting the medieval louvre, there was a dungeon gloomily lit in the dark, and i had a flashback of some sort where i began to tremble and feel very sad. i knew in some part of me that i had spent my final days in a place like that and it upset me terribly. (in fact, i'm ice cold and trembling right now) since then, i feel like i needed to come back and make peace with that particular existance, but i have not really been able to learn anymore about that life, and each time i try, i hear, you are not ready in my ears and i am jerked awake or aware. so, i move on about it, but i still feel like it is important, enough that i live now in france too, part of my mission is involved with this country i think. so, thats me sharing some more, keep the memories and thoughts coming!

on another note, i connected to many of your comments here, pretty much everyone who has written and i am happy to meet you all!
blessings to you all.

hello...i'm new to the site and have never posted before but i've been following this thread with a lot of interest and thought i'd chime in. & i have to say that i'm really impressed by how open and warm everyone is.

i can totally relate to those who have known they've known people before. i only just met my fourth cousin a few years ago and i immediately recognized him as "someone" i'd been with before. as i'd never experienced anything like that before the sense of connection was very surprising but very comforting. i had a similar connection with a friend i met back in college. the way we stumbled upon one another when we met was, in retrospect, a set of coincidences that were no coincidence. we eventually learned that we had nearly run into each other years earlier in a different city.

unfortunately, i can't recall the details of when and where our lives had crossed before but i'm convinced they did. i did participate in a past life regression once and have attempted to repeat the experience myself a number of times with do-it-yourself recordings, but the only memory i've been able to pull up is the inside of an empty house. but i know that it must be that i'm just not ready or not meant to remember yet...

interestingly, a psychic medium once told my sister and i that in all of our previous incarnations we'd been one soul and for this life we decided to split into two so we could experience more/different things. & i too have always been drawn to ancient egypt!

thanks for letting me share :)

welcome, kiki. :) likewise, i keep being impressed with the way warm, gentle, & aware souls seem to keep being drawn here. sometimes it makes me want to talk about a 'vision' of sorts i had 20 years ago, about spiritual beings coming to earth & developing a strong support community for ourselves.

fascinating!! you have me extremely curious as to what kind of relationship there is between you and your sister, but that would be such a prying intrusive question i'll politely hold it back for now. instead, i'd like to just welcome you to our little community. seems to me you bring another welcome speck of warmth and light to our little spirit-soirree on planet earth. glad you're here. :)

do you find the past lives, the male ones, affecting this life today?.

this is exactly what i deal with too!! i have never been overly feminine, was such a tomboy at a young age. i usually sway to the middle though. im very attuned to both genders, not toward one side more than another.

i happen to firmly believe that this is why being homosexual or bisexual is everywhere today. we've all lived so many lives that we just love everyone. we've all been both sexes enough times to where we can still appreciate both sexes and love either without cause or self-judgement. why restrict love to "the opposite sex" when you can love anyone you chose and be comfortable? that and if youve been a male in your past 11 lives, and then you quickly reincarnate as a female, you might just pull some "cell memory" over and still dig females. right?

anyway, my point is, we have all lived as both sexes. and sometimes you can easily tell that about a person and sometimes you cant. but we wouldnt be able to learn as much if we only learned it from the view of 1 gender. there are way too many experiences that are gender specific to just ignore because its of "the opposite sex." we'd all be here forever if we were limited to just one gender in our incarnations.

im personally glad that i have been a male as much as a female. i think i have a good balance going because of it. and chances are? a lot of your past lives are of a different gender. maybe meditating heavily on it can reveal which ones? it will better help you interpret your past lives or dreams if you do a little thinking on that one...

yes, the same here - its like, you can understand both mentalities. theres no separation. none of this "cant understand men" "cant understand women".

i happen to firmly believe that this is why being homosexual or bisexual is everywhere today.

i also believe that some are soul mates that find each other and just happened to reincarnate in the same gender vessels. since spiritually we are both male and female, two sides of one consciousness. i think we retain one side spiritually with the free will, and so thats why we lean towards it each life, regardless of vessel gender.

why restrict love to "the opposite sex" when you can love anyone you chose and be comfortable? that and if youve been a male in your past 11 lives, and then you quickly reincarnate as a female, you might just pull some "cell memory" over and still dig females. right?

i think so too. i also think that souls can get to a point where they can shed some of the separation between their female/male psyche and thats why they can be bisexual.

all-i am interested in how each you had these visions during meditation or dreams. were you lucid dreaming? did you ask in meditation to find this info?

ej,
images came to me in a variety of ways. often it began with exposure to some scenario and thinking, "hmmm, this feels strangely familiar ..."

some of it began when i joined a historical re-enactment society. armor, chain mail, swords and other weapons, all seemed more familiar to me than my own face in the mirror. that got me started thinking, and images began welling up from inside me on their own. other times, it happened when i was reading a book about a particular era. there is one particular author who writes clear and compelling historical fiction, and the little everyday details in her stories often trigger some feeling or spark of recognition in me.

the last past life images came on me suddenly, and for no reason that i could see. for no particular reason, i started writing a story about a wwii pilot crashing into the ocean. the story took on a life of its own. it became so intensely vivid that the memory stuck with me for several years, after which it came back to me one fall. (football had played a part in the story.) it triggered me to start remembering and feeling all the things i felt when i wrote the story in the first place. there was enough concrete detail in my story that i realized i had a good chance of tracking it down to see if there were any real stories similar to it. it did not take long for me to find the same identical story of a wwii pilot, and it was accurate in almost every minute detail. it was startling and stunning. one of the stunning points was that i'd had a left shoulder separation, and i discovered that the wwii pilot had also had a left shoulder separation. it got really spooky for me.

so in a nutshell, i can't say that there was any one particular way these images came to me. i suspect that if a person really wants to know badly enough, and is open-eyed and willing to deal with any old emotional wounds that will get re-opened after enough past life exploration (such as images of yourself helplessly drowning slowly), then i think the images will begin to come to you. some little thing, or big thing, or some event, or some person, or some story or movie will trigger a strong feeling of familiarity that you can't easily explain away. if you spend time savoring the feeling, the images can begin filling in the missing details.

that's about all i have to contribute. i am sometimes able to "see" a person's past life. pm me if you're interested in talking about that.

then i was finally lead to dw and the divinecosmos website and the concept of reincarnation and found out that i am the reincarnation of king james .

conundrum, are you familiar with the history surrounding king james? it was a dynamic era, in terms of various forces of history pushing and pulling against one another with great intensity. sometimes if we find ourselves in history, what we hear or read is often missing key discussions about the context of what was going on at the time. much of what kings did was typically done to sooth one faction or another in a political free-for-all, just so that he could get on with the business of governing. often we don't know all the details of what a given king was facing, so it is easy to misinterpret his actions as being personal. that's just one of the layers i've found i need to dig through if i find inner images related to a well-known historical person. if you can learn to not take it personally, that resolves most of the problems we tend to carry forward with us. great excavating, though. you're a bona fide archaeologist of the soul. :)

all-

i thoroughly enjoyed your past lives! i am interested in how each you had these visions during meditation or dreams. were you lucid dreaming? did you ask in meditation to find this info?
e.j.

ej - thank you for this - i think open discussion helps all of us to evolve in understanding. i do not believe it fair to just say "do it on your own"... especially when in the end we all are of the same consciousness, when we connect to the higher realms it is even then that we are more [for lack of better word] equal to each other. in order to remember our individual past lives, we have to connect to the spiritual realm.

most of my information if not all, is from meditation, not from dreaming. i find it easier to do between the times of 12-3am, as in more information easily comes to me.
the majority of the time, information does not come to me visually, i just...know. i refer to this as "the knowing".

but when i can see something, it always starts with my toes. when i began to learn how to meditate, i found its always advised for you to go to a special place. anyways, everytime i have this occur, i always seem to have this thing with my toes. 98% of the time, its that im standing in dewy vibrant green grass. i can literally feel the grass beneath my feet.
when i first started, i was at a cliffside with a castle behind me... you know, im not entirely sure if this was just that special place for visiting the higher realm - or if i was connecting with one of my past lives.

i think maybe its possible to sometimes not have memories of the past life, but actually merge with it a little bit. so even though you are in the spiritual realm and thus not seeing what the physical was like for that life, you can merge and feel what "you" were feeling in that life. i cant think of a clear way to articulate this lol and i think if i continue to try ill confuse myself! lol

again the things i am certain of, came from the knowing, and not from visions really. for example, earlier in this thread i mentioned that one of my past lives, i was a templar. the templars were originally founded on the principles much like the knights of camelot... to uphold peace, truth, justice, and honor. this is indeed how they started to grow in reputation and numbers. however, as with all things "popular" they gained the attention of those who sought to corrupt it - especially since the templars were deeply religious in their faith to god. slowly they were picked off one by one - those who were susceptible to greed and power, quickly betrayed the order and their oaths. they also fell easily to the corruption that they soon had a large enough force to outnumber those still loyal.
a little bit too late, those who became aware of the true treachery spread this news, and im not sure if they were going to blow the whistle, or the danger was recognized that they could.
thats the true reason they were taken down...

i thoroughly enjoyed your past lives! i started a post on this topic about six months ago and asked about how people had seen these visions during meditation, but the thread quickly turned into a "you must find it on your own" theme. i know that each of us must understand ourselves, and that we are unique. i also know that we each discover information about our past lives in our own time. however, it seems that many people have discovered some information in dreams or meditation. there must be a set of circumstances experienced either during meditation or dreams that lead most to discover these lives. i am interested in how each you had these visions during meditation or dreams. were you lucid dreaming? did you ask in meditation to find this info?

all thoughts are welcomed.

peace in the love and the light,
e.j.
well, in response to how the images came to me, they came in many different ways. some happened with automatic writing, others from lucid dreaming or obes, and still others just came as an image in my mind while responding to something in the present. the one i have the most information from, came after a very deep meditation and when i began to write. it was the life where i was a monk in brittany. in this life i was named bernard or something to that effect, and i had lost my mother and little sister(she had beautiful red hair and freckles and i believe is my current life brother) and that is what pushed me to become a monk. i was a very feminine man and displeased my father and i also was very withdrawn and frail. i spent that life praying often and illuminating manuscripts. i died of weakness in my lungs. to my current life, there are many similar themes such as losing my mother young, displeasing my father etc; but i feel like these themes are at peace now. this is a life i feel not very emotional about and it was a fairly untramatic life so i think that is why i was able to learn so much about it, i think many of the others i am still not ready to learn more about.

hope this was informative to you! blessings to you all!

wise words, jehanne. in my experience, past life recall can be extremely traumatic. i believe a person needs to be psychologically ready to explore these things. i could tell you stories that could curl your hair ..... but then, can't we all? :) of course we can! :) that's what i like about sharing. i think it helps us strengthen each other in our quest for self-understanding.

in a very real way, the quest for understanding is *the* hero's journey. ("hero" is not a gender-specific term in this context, because females also go on heroic journeys.) when we go within, we find obstacles, we fight dragons, we rescue beautiful princesses or handsome princes - either of which will be long-lost parts of ourself.

i really enjoy the passion and that everyone has transmitted into their past lives. i have a different past life to share. i came into this information during one of my universal downloads.
i see have seen myself in a place of light, where i am part of a group of beings whom are in some sort of leadership position. i was sent to earth for a purpose, in one vision it was to find someone. in another it was to learn and help others learn.
i have been to two very important psychics and when they looked into my past they could only see people wearing white around me. it is funny because all i want to wear is white.
anyone else with alien dreams?
starlatina

i have not, but you know, every time i meditate and see the spiritual projection of myself, im always wearing white.. the kind of material where it flows... just wondering if theres any collaboration to what you see.

but personally, i have not had alien dreams. from what i understand this means you are a wanderer.

very kewl to see this thread as for i have been pondering this for more than 30 years, so that would be sometime when i was around 10 years old... my life has been a long and winding road but pleasant.. all i can say is that i didnt make it past the first page of the law of one study guide (yet) because with every line i read my thaught was, "yuppers, know that" or, "is that how you say it"? of course there was a few, "oh! didnt know that"
anyways, i have always been fascinated with electricity and magnitism, anti gravity, science fiction.. when i was about 9 or 10 i wanted to build the robot hewey from that good old bruce dern movie silent running.. i should watch that tonight.. oops.. sorry
i was also designing floor plans for intergalactic space craft with a natural understanding of the life support systems and the astro physics involved but not a clear understanding of the power plant.. ok, i know this is going somewhere, just dont know where yet.. i guess i mean to say...
30 years!!!!!!! wisky-tango-foxtrot??? you might think i would have figured it out by now, my friend brian told me last night that i am connected with solomon... but he said he was connected with jesus.. not dismissing that. all i get is feelings, havnt been that good with visuals since i was younger.. (wonder why?) ok, ok drifting again, no im not stoned... my feelings as far as past life are strong when relating to war, recent wars like wwii maybe i was just way to traumatized to want to remember and have a block from that point back.. recently working on cleansing my body and mind.. reason im not stoned now :eek: also, from what i have read, i do fit the profile of a wanderer and through meditation have clarified some thaughts on maybe being..... ok im sure your sitting down and please dont get all excited but feelings are starting to point towards the possibilty i may be orion because i always feel so out of place and often suffer from depression and lack of purpose on this world but when i was young and secluded on my familys little place out in the country of oregon, i always refured to myself to myself as a scientist, i said pleasant life earlyer but i did have a hard time relating to others and was always rejected and picked on, tested with an iq of 180 in the 7th grade that shot down theyer plans of puting me on the short bus.
ok this post is getting too long so i will cap it of by asking,"any suggestions?"

03-23-2009, 09:36 PM

i guess my first attempt to post here was just too long and drawn out or i said too much but i just got done with this huge type from the heart post about me and past life confusion but it didnt show up? oh well. so then, in a nut shell.
i dont know who the hell i was by visions or dreams, im empathic so i know feelings and thaughts just come to me, made for an interesting childhood let me tell ya... took most of my life to figure out those are not my feelings but the feelings of people around me, all i know is that for as long as i can remember... 1972, 73? or like 4 or 5 years old.. i always felt the law of one, like i just knew it, thats why i am actually taking the time to post here, it was a major synchronism for me reading dw's study guide, so as far as visuals go, ive had none but i really relate to tesla, always been fascinated with magnetism and electricity and was never really afraid of it (electricity), school was a pain for me and i flunked everything cause i just knew that it was all crap including history, math was a bomb for me but i can do it well, i also feel deep feelings when watching anything about war, like i was a soldier that died in one, how ever, i dont want to remember that or have any visuals, also know that i fit the wanderers profile all the way down to strange little ailments like hypoglycemia and depression as well as always feeling like i dont belong and quite often like im not wanted. maybe im an orion looking for redemption? its all still a mystery to me, all i do know is that my son is important and as far as i know, my job is done, so lets play!!!!

on tesla, from wikipedia:
"...due to his eccentric personality and his seemingly unbelievable and sometimes bizarre claims about possible scientific and technological developments, tesla was ultimately ostracized and regarded as a mad scientist."

as a matter of fact, yes, i see as much a resemblance with tesla as dw with cayce but it an effort to be humble and not make any hasty claims, i had my wife look at tesla, she said his face is fuller but the eyes and nose match, looking at wilcock/cayce pics, i noticed the same features and so did she, cayce had a much fuller face as well, ofcourse the food was probably much more wholesome in those days, imagine that.
also, yes, getting rid of the recreational substances is already showing it benefits and i dont regret anything i have done, it was wise to remain asleep so to speak while building a strong social foundation for a solid grounding point and if i had dived right into research on these science's before i fully understood that it would not be for profit, i would have suffered the same fate as the previous tesla, not that he had profit in mind, his mistake was being too loud and too trusting as well as not understanding the true nature of his peers at that time.

yes!!!! as far as i am concerned, this is the point at which dreamwork becomes real -- when a person can identify past mistakes, and start thinking and planning how to correct them! woo-hoo! [slapping mikejose on the back]

[soberly] not me, brother. past life work is too doggone serious a thing for me, not a birthday party with pointed hats. for instance, my latest piece of past life work is something i could crow about, *if* i had not learned that it's not for my ego gratification. the real part of it was letting go the nightmare terror of the circumstances surrounding a cold and lonely death. past life work takes courage and self-discipline, as far as deerclan is concerned. those adult attitudes are the markers between *real* past life work and just fooling around with the supernatural.

i have been reading carla reuckert's a wanderers handbook and just this morning ran across some wonderful information regarding reincarnation. it is lengthy so will not quote the whole thing here but give the first couple of paragraphs and the link to the pdf file which is:
http://llresearch.org/library/a_wanderers_handbook_pdf/a_wanderers_handbook_05.pdf

much of the information here is directly from the law of one and some is from those of quo, who carla also channels. the whole of chapter five-our energetic selves and how we evolve, is well worth the reading. indeed the whole book is a must for any who believe they are wanders or suspect so.

reincarnation
we are fields of energy, beings of energies. that is how we work. and what is
our environment? on earth, it is to be in this lifetime, this body, this
incarnation. beneath the surface reality, the consensus reality that seems so
genuine, we can see ourselves, metaphysically speaking, as entities involved
in an illusion built of space and time, a physical illusion in which we are
experiencing life at this time. the traditional western assumption is that
this is our one and only lifetime, and that we will be judged at the end of it
by our god. indeed, there is evidence that this was not always the judæo-
christian dogma, that reincarnation was an accepted part of
hagiocosmology until the early church fathers determined the belief in
reincarnation to be deleterious to the making of a maximum spiritual effort
in this life. i do not defend their lies, but the church fathers had a point,
and i would not agree that since one will be reincarnated, one need not pay
much attention to this present life. making a solid effort in this particular
present life and moment of opportunity is important, in my opinion.

however i have come to feel, over long decades of experience with many,
many people and lots of regressive hypnotic evidence that has passed my
eyes, that reincarnation is actually the way our universe works in its way of
evolving souls. we have a harvest of lessons learned and unlearned at the
end of a lifetime. between incarnations, we look at that harvest, and plan
our next lifetime, in its broad strokes. we build on what we feel we have
learned, and place relationships and circumstances in our way that we wish
to work upon further. when we enter the birth process, we forget all that we
have planned, and the darkness of earth consciousness descends. in that
dim light, we work all our lives, again attempting to learn our lessons of
love, again working on difficult relationships and challenging issues that
span many incarnations. we develop desires, and through time, fulfill each
desire, until we have satisfied ourselves at the table of third-density life. we
do not move on until we are entirely ready to move on. if one set of three
minor cycles, the 75,000 years of the major cycle of third density, is not
enough for us, we simply repeat the grade, one, two or three minor cycles,
again. and if necessary, again, so that as long as we wish third-density
experience, it will be here for us.........

respect dude :) 180 is ridiculously high. makes you literally one in millions if not billion. can you remember which test it was? or describe it? 180 is really really high. its' beyond super gifted. it's approaching godlike... :)

it served you well for not being short tracked, which is the most important. i had a similar experience. people considered me dumb around that age too, i just kept scoring ridiculously high on intelligence tests. good thing those things exist because it was the only way my parents kept me off the short track.

i apparently had a short life in a wwii concentration camp. and the feeling of being religiously persecuted had stuck with me in this life. fortunately i managed to take a lot of the sharpness out of that sentence. apart from you guys and some other special individuals i'm still spiritually a loner. but that's okay. if you attempt to climb mountains you sometimes are above the crowd. and at other times you're not. we're part of a society. and through us all of us spiritually minded, humanity gains a spiritual perspective.

respect dude :) 180 is ridiculously high. makes you literally one in millions if not billion. can you remember which test it was? or describe it?.

wish i could bro, it was a standard test for my school of the day, the only thing i remember of the test is that it was the funnest test i took in all of school, all problem solving, didn't even know it was an iq test until years later, i remember going back to school on the fallowing monday and asking what i got on the test, the counselor did not want to tell me and answered with the score under his breath as he turned away from me, i knew at that time that i had turned him upside down, when i asked if that was good, he replied very reluctantly, "oh... its ... pretty good.." i'm sure he thought i was all over him but i honestly did not know what was going on at the time, must have been another 10 or 15 years before i understood what had happened there and my mother just recently stated that she didn't know a thing about it. all i can say is that it made my childhood life quite challenging.

thanks aqcheryl, deerclan, conundrum, and jehanne for your reflective responses. i greatly appreciate the articulations of your experiences. i will have to search more in meditations to find my own story. what meditation practices do you do that have allowed for these experiences? aqcheryl's notes on the grass and castle were quite interesting.

peace in love and light,
e.j.

well, i have quite a lot of techniques (i am a gemini :) ) and i alternate them frequently. when meditate, i usually focus on deep breathing for a few minutes and visualize and think of the words for love and light. i imagine the light of love flowing into me from the top of my head and letting it fill my body. while this is going on, i pray to my ancestors, angels, spirit guides for wisdom, protection, and help in what i am searching for. at this point, if i am searching for some specific answers, i will state it, otherwise, i just ask to be shown something relevant to my current situation. then the meditation continues with me going to my special place which is a shady late springtime forest clearing where there is a clear gurgling little stream running through the green grass and trees. i try to bring myself there by imagining the details, how bright the colors are, the details of the blades of grass and little flowers, how the tumbling water sounds in my ears, the smell of the freshness of the air and green plants and musky earth, and the way the sun feels on my skin as it filters through the leaves.
other times, i do the mediation up to the point of going to the forest stream, but i will often go down a set of rock stairs into a cave of somesort, once again bringing the details into focus, the smell of the stones, the dampness of the air, the mustiness and darkness. and i continue to go deeper and deeper down.
sometimes the meditation will turn into a lucid dream or even rarer an obe. these tend to give the strongest and clearest images, but they are just images usually for me, not very much understanding or information.
sometimes after meditation, i will feel almost hypnotized or trancelike and then i will sometimes write or speak things that come to mind.
there are also many days where nothing of importance will come in terms of past life images, but then i often have beautiful dreams and feeling of peace, so it is still good, as of course it is when you meditate.
most of these things i have created on my own, though of course i have had much guidance and advice, but i believe the best way is to be true to yourself and what suits you, try out many things, and then you can see where the path is taking you. enjoy the journey, because that is the best part!

i had a dream that came up in memory today, and it was of what i thought was the in between state, the spirit state before my incarnation. i had this dream a few years ago and in it, i was a body of light, in a school room situation, there were many other spirts in there with me, some were the teachers and we worked with them. at the time i was in graduate school, and some of the people i was physically with on earth in school were also in this spirt classroom. in the dream, we were preparing for our next lives and much was discussed and so much was imparted to us, unfortunately, the details of these conversations did not stick after awaking, but i knew that it was profound. at the end of this scene, i was alone except for another spirit, who i took to be my main guide or guardian angel, i don't know how else to describe it, i call it a him because that made most sense, but honestly cannot say if it was, it was beyond that. he was beautiful, but i cannot remember his face, he had some last final words for me, once again this was lost upon waking, and then he smiled, this beautiful radiant smile, he said it was time, and touched me on the forehead. i instantly hurtled down unto earth so quickly and the lights of stars zoomed past me as i fell, and then i woke up.

do you think that this could be a memory of right before being born? that was the conclusion that i came to.
this dream has stuck with me for many years and has brought me much comfort in difficult times.

as someone else said, this is indeed an irresistable thread. fascinating to read everyone's responses ...

i'll make mine brief - i do have a memory of two past lives. they actually came to me in dreams before i took up a really dedicated interest in subjects such as spirituality or reading any materials like those here or similiar stuff.

one vivid memory of being a small girl, perhaps 5 or 6. i was asian.i was walking with a very large group of people including my family. there was one of those carriage like contraptions, i remember what they are called, with a top for shading the occupants in it. our group was walking in a long line behind it, carrying things etc.

it felt like the people sitting in it were rich/royalty and we were very poor ... servants or slaves perhaps? not sure. i could feel being "in her" and yet see her walking too and remember a feeling of sadness and sheer trudgery.

second past life recall : a young lady, approximately 19 years old. in the top of a two story southern mansion. i had two brothers, and i believe we had owned slaves, but the scene i remember was during the cival war. soldiers were about to invade our home and ransack. i think our parents were dead.

okay, that aside, i do see common themes we all have. talents, affinities to places all seem to confirm we probably are experiencing something connected to a past life whether we remember who we were or not.

i also remember flying among the stars, as someone stated. i have a port wine birth mark on my right arm, shoulder to fingers. not totally covered, just like splashes or red here and there. i have always had a strong feeling this is some kind of carryover from a trauma in a past life... and that i am meant to have it as some kind of "mark" if that makes sense .. :-)

anyway, keep 'em coming, this is interesting !

hello all,

it's nice to see many people are seeing trough the curtain. but what spuprises me is that most of you only remeber little parts, i think the most traumatic parts of some former lifes. it is not important for others to know your former name rank and status offcourse, it is only important to yourself. but i want to give an example about me being a knight in the middle ages. at one day in my life i visited the gravensteen, it's a welknown castle in gent (belgium). while standing on the wall i was having a sort of vision from a great battle till i was hit by a spear from the enemy and sunk down on my knees. what i didn't knew was that i was lying uncounsious on the ground and when i came awake again my frends were standing around me asking if i felt all right. i blamed it on the sun, and a lack of sleep. but later on i started to do some research, i had a pretty good image of the fighting knights and yes i found them back in the history books. doing this research i came in contact with a few people who i knew in that former life. some of them also regognized me. and we went on with our search so that a few of us now have a very good picture of that former life. so in this case it started with a traumatic memory of me dying defending a castle, but working backwards i found a lot more about the then living me.

when you remember former lifes, i believe it is important to implement them in this one. so you will be able to know yourself better, to use some knowledge out of former lives, and to find people of your soulgroup. in this case for me i remembered swordfighting, and if you believe it or not, not long after this alle happened swords came on my way. (i didn't have to by them frends gave them to me)
out of another former life i remembered the knowledge of singing bowls, and out of another the knowledge about crystals. blessed be the one, for this gift of eternal life. because that's how i see it now after almost 20 years of resaerch, also meditation and obe. some might find it suprising amog these remembering is also that of former lifes in other forms than human being. this as in the former form of intelligent life on earth as well as in alien forms, wich let me to believe our soul is indeed universal.

do you think its possible that we remember the most traumatic usually, because it has that much of an impact on our soul memory? i think remembering all details is important because the slightest clue can help us gain more knowledge. sometimes posting these details when we ask for help in clarification, others can spot what we cant see. because in this life we are blinded by biases that influence who we are and therefore cant always look at the facts we come across objectively. there are people who can read past lives from others easily, and so maybe they can help us as well.

your story is a good example of this, of how remembering details and sharing them with others can help us grow, because i agree with you - it can impact us in this life. we can heal and repair damage we may have caused in past lives, and end any karmic cycle caused from it. we can gain higher understanding and become better guides for others.

i love swords. i do not like guns - to me they are a cop out and theres no honor in them. to me, there is honor in a sword. i doubt the templar life is the only one i had that involved them :) i have absolutely no interest in asia so i think thats due to i never was part of those cultures in a past life. i respect their swords, and i do have a katana only because its a replica of connor mcleod's sword. and thats actually the only swords i can get for the most part, thats what i can afford.
when i saved up money for a las vegas trip, we stayed at excalibur and they had real swords up there, and i spent all of my remaining money (and some of my food money lol) just to get one... unfortunately the cheapest was $200. and ironically its dull for 'our protection' - yet the replicas ive bought off ebay - especially that katana... is very lethal. i dont play with them lol

i agree our souls are universal, and also not just aliens but we really can come back as a dog or cat or zebra. david mentions fairies and such do exist but on parallel dimensions, and i wonder if our soul is universal in that regard as well. so that being said we very well could have been an elf in a past life.

@ aqcheryl

do you think its possible that we remember the most traumatic usually, because it has that much of an impact on our soul memory?

that is possible, i think the impact is important because it's linked with heavy emotions. but on the other hand, you use your ego to experience things, so in a way the remembering is from another ego, antoher personae, you could say, which is part of your "self" offcourse, but which can be strange to this ego. in some cases the "now" personae will not be happy with the remembering of the "past" personae, due to the impact this has on it's "now" kingdom. as you said, the more you know, the more clarity will come in how to deal with your karma, etc. but it also means you got some work to do, the resaerch is regarding your "self", and the "now" ego can feel attacked when it has to work with the past personae, as in the ego should rather stay just this ego, it's not plesant to give up it's position. so we got two things, the heavy emotional impact which is not plesant to experience again, and the way the ego deals with it. the ego can deal with it in a way that it is something not wise, that its something you have to fear about because its not plesant, or the ego can deal with it as a way of gaining more knowledge of the self.

it is my believe in this times, the ego is not on the right place. the ego is sitting on a throne of ignorance, and the self is something which you dont need to live here. but the ego should not be sitting on that throne, the ego should be part of the system, this as in working togheter with the self, exploring the individual self to find the great self, andso on. sadly this work is not easy for people who live their lifes as the media and industries promote it. they got no time to think about things like this, in their material world there is only place for material things. and it's a little kingdom but the ego likes to rule.

in reality, when the ego and the self and the former personae work all togheter, the kingdom that there is to rule is much bigger and much more interesting. you become alive in a more complete way, remembering knowledge, instead of learning the same things everytime, or making the same mistake over and over again.(without ever remembering them) karma becomes a guide, not an enemy, death becomes a frend, your ego get's to know its "self", your perception is expanding.

each soul has it's own path and it's own time, but we can all contribute to the basic knowledge each of us has the right to it.

i read you have a katana, can you make it sing? i totally agree with you about guns and swords:)

here is a rundown of my past life memories:

1) my most recent memory came last weekend at a brian weiss conference during a group regression. i was a woman of means in atlantis, beautiful, barefoot, wearing white robes and lived in a home with white curved walls that glowed from within. i lived on beachfront with very soft white sand. i saw no other person during this memory, but my husband was at the same regression and had a memory of being a healer in atlantis, wearing a white robe with side pockets where he kept his crystals. he had a healing ritual that he used with people involving the crystals. this is the past life that feels the most like "me."

2) a solitary shepherd or goatherd in ancient greece, crete or italy.

3) a powerful patriarch in greece or rome, with many responsibilities and much wealth. my daughter hated me (same daughter as this life).

4) a late teenage girl in a cold northern climate. we lived in a shelter or hut and spent most of our time huddling around a fire. we were dirty and it was always dark. i died giving birth.

5) 1900's era girl in rural america.

dickensian england is also very, very familiar to me, though i've had no memories of that. not too keen on going there!

ive always had trouble equating exactly what the ego is in our lives. what exactly is it. is it arrogance? is it the mind? is it our individuality? is it fed by emotions? is it fed by service to self?

i dont know the answer to this, and i have trouble understanding it because i have always been emotionally detached. its very hard for me to feel emotion unless the needle wavers to an extreme. for example i have a passionate temper and if something sets it off, the needle goes in the far red lol but in less than a few minutes its completely gone. but i know some people can remain angry for days. this is the same thing with happiness, it goes into the blue for me to experience it. for both, id have to feed it to keep it going. and because i grew up loving others more than myself, i have trouble understanding arrogance or any other kind. so i say all this because im trying to show how my mind works. everything is cool logic and reason. scientific analysis.

and thats where im coming from when i ask what is ego, truly? what is in a scientific approach? what is its definition. so that i can understand how it is used to experience things.

so we got two things, the heavy emotional impact which is not plesant to experience again, and the way the ego deals with it. the ego can deal with it in a way that it is something not wise, that its something you have to fear about because its not plesant, or the ego can deal with it as a way of gaining more knowledge of the self.

i think im the last one. ive seen a few things in meditation in regards to my past that others would find traumatic but i just didnt care really. so i was murdered by someone i loved in a past life? oh well. that kind of thing. so i think its the latter of what you said for me... ego finding knowledge?

karma becomes a guide, not an enemy
this is so very true! and so very wise. karma is our guide. its really only us that punish ourselves. we have to forgive ourselves for past actions to end it.

i read you have a katana, can you make it sing? i totally agree with you about guns and swords:)

i dont have anywhere to make it sing, unfortunately, but i would love to. id rather make my claymore sing but i dont have that kind of strength! lol plus the thickness as opposed to a katana, it would be harder to make it sing, but i have heard they[broadswords] still do.

i enjoy reading in this thread but i do not have any past earth experiences to share. my feeling is that i have never been on earth before.

i have memories of the very distant past do not have any familiar surroundings or sounds or anything that my life has now. i have a strong memory of being conscious but not like this.

my memories involve whole modes of existence like total outcomes or maybe, like watching others experience incarnations from a different perspective.

i'm sure i chose to be here. i chose to go through this time we are in and i feel i'm on the right path.

is there anyone else that feels this way?

the best i can figure i must have come from some higher density.

i find peace when i am faced with hard challenges. it makes me feel good to help people work through tough times and it does not drain me at all to do this.

i feel that i am getting close to finding out and see more of the things happening every day that build anticipation that the connection i need is just around the corner.

love wins, your comment about birthmarks and body marks is very interesting. it brought up alot of thought which i have been pondering all weekend. i have three remarkable scars on my body, from my baby days. i was born two months early and spent awhile living in an incubator with tubes attached all over me. from that, i have three scars, one in the middle of my back between the shoulderblades, one high up on my ribs on the right side, and a dent in my head, its about the size of a nickel, it is soft and hurts if pressed. throughout my life, during dreaming, i would occaisonally have a sensation of electric (almost painful) zing though my back in the scar spot and it would awake me, i would have by back curled backwards and feel slightly paralyzed for a few seconds after awaking until i could wake up fully.

maybe 9 years ago i had a dream that stuck with my, but i shook it off as crazy, but it resurfaced this weekend, and has been bothering me. in the dream, i was a teenage girl and it was night and i was walking around in a suburb neighborhood. i was wearing pretty contemporary clothes, shorts and a teeshirt. i knew i was running away from home, but i wasn't scared. i walked down a hill and located a garage that was familiar to me and there was a man inside who i knew and was about 32 or so. he was wearing a polo type shirt of soft cotton and shorts. i knew he had a family inside his house and a young child. then, he stabbed me in the back, right between my shoulderblades. i felt myself rising above the scene, very emotionless watching it, watching as he hid the body, cleaned up, and returned to his family. then i flew away. when i woke up, i had the familiar sensation on my scar area.

this dream came back up this weekend after reading this forum. i wondering if it had been somesort of memory, but i pushed it aside as stupid to think that, it seemed very contemporary, so it couldn't be a past life i thought. then, i had another dream, this time, i was attending somesort of spiritual workshop, and my grandmother was there. she had a pile of papers and she said it contained information about eachone of my family. she said it was important that i look at my sheet, i glanced at it and it seemed to be a timeline of sorts, but it wasn't straight. on it were names, dates, places, a sort of record of many lives. i was afraid to really look at it in the dream, but i did recall seeing a spot on medieval france and it shook me up and i couldn't go further. then, in the dream, the dream i talked about earlier, i received information that the teenage girl was pregnant and i thought about the baby and wondered about it.
when, i woke up from this other dream, i was very shook up, i felt like there was a lot of trauma in many of those lives, and it frightened me a lot, i think i have a lot of work to do to clear up those fears. i thought it was also interesting that the only life that stuck with me upon waking was one in france, where i now live and was compelled to move here. i have lots of work to do to figure out what it all means and why i am so often afraid. i don't know if any of this is "real", but it makes sense.

@aqcheryl

i refer to the ego as the personae, this personae is an instrument to run our system, it is the instrument of self awarenes. each life you have you are the same self but with another personae. for instance, there is a difference when you grow up in tibet or in las vegas. the basis for the personae is depending on all kinds of sircomstances in your earth level life. this personae learns how to behave against others, the personae is the one who does things who takes desicions. this is my personae typing words with the use of my body as an extension which can make use of the key board, etc... so the personae is bounded with the life it is developping in. so the ego is like the pilot of our vessel, but the pilot has to be good frend with the commander, which is the self. the self is not bounded with time our space. when the pilot nor the commander have relation with eachother the ship is in free drifting mode. but when they work togheter it is right on track. many people live in drift mode, the ego is running it all and it is refusing to share with the self. but the self is always latent there and it gives signs for the ego to see. offcourse when the ego doesnt want to see it stays blind. the self shows us there is more than the material world only. the selfs shows us spirituality, shows us a view in eternety as we remember former lives, the self shows us a world in which there is a lot more than only matter. the self knows its purpose, while the ego thinks it knows the purpose.

this is difficult matter to talk about, words are not sufficient enough. but i see myself as a system, in which ego, self , mind, body , spirit all have to work togheter. i see the ego as a little child first exploring the world the body the mind. when the child is little its perception is limited. but when the ego grows and become aware of the self it is expanding its perception. it is not limited to only this time and this place anymore. like i said in this world it is sometimes difficult for the ego to accept the self. if you are a manager of a big factory you do not have time to discover yourself. the signs of the self will be experienced as something bad something which is allways troubeling you at the wrong moment so they put theirselves in the closet and try to go on with the ego allone. in such a case karma is a terrible thing, also because they do not have knowledge of theirselves the karma can not be a guidance. and you all now the story birth, school, work, death... on and on till the ego finds the self again, and the karma becomes a guidance. you may ask yourself, how can i do better this life then in the former withouth knowing wath i did wrong then. so the ego can learn from the self, because the self knows this, (not bounded with time our space).withouth the self the ego is lost, the old tribes knew this all. but the modern world has rejected the self, maybe because its afraid of it. the self will make the ego look trough the curtain, but some ego's do not want this. they prefer to be bounded with time and place, they refuse eternity. let's hope one day this ego's will learned enough to accept the self.

@voyagefortruth

it is possible you are a first born, this means this is your first life as a human. it's possible you came out of the annimal kingdom, it's possible you came out of an other form (alien life), its possible you come from another plane of existance ( energy creatures). plenty to work with, but maybe indeed not also that easy. but on the other hand you are blessed with a clear vieuw, :):)

yes ! that is very similiar to what i saw.. thank you for taking the time to find that :-)

i have to catch up on all the posts since i posted my memories.. love reading these. i feel such an affinity with you guys.. you feel like a part of my "family" in some way if that makes sense. i know it's a bit off topic, but do you suppose we are all drawn to each other due to being connected as a group of souls in some sense?

as i mentioned before a portion of this life is spent as an intuitive reader for others.... one thing i come up against is that others seem to think being "intuitive" means i know it all... not ! lol

i would describe myself more as an avid learner.. always interested in science, spirituality etc. i wonder how many of my past lives if any had an focus or concentration in this area.... b/c the two lives i recall don't seem to involve that focus at all. however i only remember small glimpses of them, certainly not everything.

the only thing i have ever known for certain is that my birthmark is some kind of carryover of a trauma.. can't remember what trauma though, which used to get to me, but i have now ( still in the process of accepting and loving it for whatever it's meaning) . did that make sense?

you guys are fascinating. please keep posting your thoughts and experiences.. even though i say you guys feel like some long lost family, i feel each of you as an amazing , beautiful gift of light and love. ( group hug! )

on another note, do you guys think it is possible to perhaps be able to tune into another persons memories? because sometimes when i dream, i feel like i am an observer of scenes and things that have happened, but not always like it was me in the scene, just a watcher. i get these all the time...

speaking of asia, i had a wonderful dream once that i was sitting on a stone bench in a garden in japan, the cherry blossoms were in bloom and i was sitting next to a middle aged man with a gray short beard, he wore a blue tunic of somesort and some sort of pants. it was a calm scene, beautiful and lovely.

sometimes i wonder if all these images and dreams could possibly be my own memories, because there are so many of them, and from so many different times... what do you guys think, that its possible? or am i picking up on other encoded memories?

ever since i was a child, i have had vivid lucid dreams of the third reich.

the earliest memory is asking a man with no leg on crutches for my ball back (a soccer ball or football) as a child. he was in a shabby clothes but was wearing an iron cross from wwi. i've had dreams of being in high school around 1935 or 1936, getting married in 1938 or 1939 to a very dear friend i have now (it was a shotgun wedding to boot). being in either the wehrmacht or waffen ss in russia on a motorcycle, sitting in busted out bombed out buildings with other soldiers, having beers and singing songs with others, etc. the only "combat" memory i've had is dying in or after 1944 in a basement doorway being machine gunned by 3 soviets who caught me, and a few others by surprise, most likely poland.

these dreams always come vivid 100%. there is no bizarreness to them (clowns, talking dogs, flying, etc). they are as real as real can be. they are snippets from the past. the last one i had was about 2 months ago. i was standing on the street in civilian clothes ( overalls, a jacket and a light cap) talking to my wife (then) while she was holding a baby. she was telling me to bring home certain foods afterwork. most of the dreaams are mundane, not overtly political or violent. i believe it is my most recent pastlife. i can't recall any others, and any "gut" feeling might just be fantasy.

i'm hoping to get to hawaii this summer and get some regression hypnosis happening to see if there is anything else i can remember. i'd also like to know if there are any other past lives waiting to be found.

thanks for the link about the kid with memories of ww2, it was a very interesting video. i guess i was surprised to see it on fox :)
i was googling past life today and came back upon this link to this thread, it seemed pretty synchronistic to me, its been awhile since i had been back to it, but for some reason, it came back today.
old yearning to have a past life regression came back up, i've always wanted to do one, but have been afraid about it. does anyone have opinions about this technique of retrieving past life memories? does it really work? can it be dangerous? and how to find a qualified person to do it? also, i live in france and it seems to be less done over here than it was in the us, have no clue where to start to look.
thanks everyone :)

i only have one past life memory, it was in the time when alexander the great ruled. memories of the warm water after a storm, fishing boats were pulled up away from the water, there was a small wooden dock that had been over turned in the storm, and i was very happy that i just found a gold coin on the beach, it was stamped with alexander the great on the front of it, and some kind of building on the back. i was with other young girls, and we were in a hurry, waiting for a boat. someone spoke to me in my mind, telling me to cross the water on my feet, that i did not require a boot to cross the water.

i seemed to have trusted the voice, as i stepped on the water and found myself walking on it. all the girls giggled, and off we ran, across the water, while a rainbow came out with the sunshine.

the clothes we had on were very fine material, flowing and very light.
necklines and at the end of the sleeves had some kind of shining trim, and we carried our fine leather sandals in our hands, knowing the water would ruin them if we should get them wet.

we were very privileged girls i sensed, and was living a very privileged life at that time.

i find deserts bring back feelings of home. i have never lived in a desert, but since i have been young, i have collected anything to do with camels.

my bedroom as a teenager would have looked like an arabian tent if i had my way, i always have wanted to have silk walls, silk ceilings, silk rugs, and of course, tons of overstuffed pillows to sit and lay back on.

of course, as an adult i could have it that way now, but then my friends and family would really think that i have lost it. so to keep the peace, i still just dream of it!

love & peace

i believe that my last life was in hawaii ... and i live on maui now! i'm from massachusetts, and when i was little i used to have this recurring dream, but it usually happened whenever i got sick. i was laying to die on this pile of what i thought was black tar, so it was really really hard, but there was a light pink blanket on me, and the hardness and softness would contrast each other. when i first arrived on maui in '95, i realized that that was lava i had dreamt about all those times! and i knew. because also when i was little in massachusetts, 7 years old in 2nd grade (i remember this so vividly that i remember it was our 2nd grade class and a 3rd grade class combined that day), my teacher asked the class, "how many of you have actually been to hawaii?" and i raised my hand, even though i'd never been!!!! and i was the only one who did, so she started asking me questions and i told her i liked the volcanoes. i was really really shy when i was little so that was way out of character for me!! and, i had dreams, in massachusetts, of a thunderstorm and someone outside my yard, yelling "huna!" huna is the name given to the hawaiian spiritual practice (it literally means "hidden").

that is the most vivid past life which sticks out, but i totally resonate with avalon and the goddess culture ... totally!!! this just hit me like a week ago. i posted somewhere else here that i feel an intense shift this past week, and that was one of the things i felt, plus that i have lived literally millions of lives.

i also know that i had something to do with the maya, because all my life (this life) i have just "known" about 2012 and was so intrigued by the maya that i have been all over mexico, guatemala, honduras, to tons of mayan ruins.

i don't know about any more, but i really want to be hypnotized someday soon to find out more. it's so fun!!!
