I have heard of countless other people on the forum and elsewhere who recall having little biases for and against certain things relating to their past lives.
Regarding the "instinctive biases". The only past life that I am aware of as of now was one as a Jewish man in 17th century Germany. However, I am almost certain that I was a convert to Christianity and that my wife wasn't Jewish. I do recall kind of having a special fascination and sympathy...
I have no memories of a lifetime from this time period, and the only past life I am aware of right now has absolutely nothing to do with Thomas Jefferson.
All of the reasons I listed have nothing to do with past life memories, but rather me tracing logic. I do hope I can confirm it some day though.
Some of these points I brought up on the forum a couple of months ago, but my Discord message was more in-depth since I missed some points on the forum.
"- When I visited Washington, D.C. for Independence Day last year, I immediately fell in love with that place. It was very hard for me to leave and I still think about it semi-regularly."
"- I got along with my 9th grade AP Human Geography teacher. My mom said that it's almost as if we clicked together instantly. She also genuinely likes Thomas Jefferson, and due to this sort of connection I really have to wonder if we knew each other back then. (She's Catholic though so I don't...
"- I genuinely like this man but most of the time I will not admit it outright (but people who are around me long enough can kind of tell after a while). I just agree with him on so many things, and I feel like he would be one of those people that I would just want to sit down and talk with...
"- With that being said, yes I get he wasn't a perfect human being. (Nobody is actually.) However, whenever I see people say stuff like "Thomas Jefferson was a terrible person" then my first instinctive response is very negative. I mean he's kind of controversial for perfectly valid reasons but...
This is what I said about it on Discord:
"These are the reasons why:
- So you know how you have instinctive little biases towards certain things? So for basically as long as I've remembered, I've always kind of has this little instinctive bias *towards* him."
Sorry if this thread has been inactive, but I have something to say about Twitter.
Just like what I said about TikTok earlier, I also strongly recommend against using Twitter to advertise this forum. Just like how TikTok is filled with general misinformation, Twitter is filled with garbage...
I personally liked the movie and it's actually one of my favorite movies of all time. I am very much aware that it's not historically accurate. In my opinion, it's fair that it's not historically accurate since Salieri is portrayed as an unreliable narrator. It's also ultimately based on a false...
I did notice that you talked about the movie Amadeus and your grandma's disliking of said movie. I recall finding that thread back in 2018, far before I joined the forum (and far before I believed in reincarnation).
