I actually read the book as a child and adored it, then found it so odd when my favourite band as a teenager had written a song about it!
Oh, it's fantastic that you're keeping records. I do the same thing, keep a separate document for each life. I find it so exciting that you have someone you...
Welcome to the forum, Charlotte (great username by the way, how apt! And I love The Cure and the book they named the song after!). What a wonderful feeling to know you have spent so many lifetimes with your fiance! He's very lucky to have such vivid recollections in reams. I've had a couple...
Welcome to the forum @Shelby812!
Nice to hear of these Indian past lives. I think I may have some vague links to an ancient Indian PL. I remember sitting on a rocky platform in the sunshine, looking down below me into a levelled area with large stone archways. Elephants were being guided...
I'm returning to this thread six years on to fill in some of the gaps! Apologies for being away from the forum for so long, I must admit I haven't done much work on my PLs over the last few years due to change and stress in my current life but I'm happy to be back here and to see a few familiar...
I think I've said this in other threads but I definitely don't remember any FPLs. That doesn't mean I didn't think my family was important at the time, due to my parentage or the profession of my father I felt well known in my town/village/clan in three lives (and very poor in others!). Thinking...
I think you have to trust your intuition, @Flex, and believe that if it's meant to be then it will happen, do whatever is in your power but don't force fate. When I met my current partner there was an immense attraction over a long distance, felt almost immediately. The longing to be with him...
Ahh, thank you, @helz_belz! The time seemed right for me to return and I've been thinking of you often of late. You actually inspired a little of what I wanted to say about my feelings at the memorial! I'll make that post shortly.
I also try to collect objects from my lives. Unfortunately the life I feel closest to was in the 16th Century. I have a tiny coin that I like to hold and carry with me but it's been hard to find much else. I did find a wooden carving from a church a few weeks ago that I hope is from the period...
Some fantastic memories here, Mike! Welcome to the board. Your experience seems similar to mine, I have a few lives with just the one flash of memory that have been with me since childhood. But in adulthood I've just 'known' more information, sudden realisations that have filled out two of the...
In answer to the OPs question, whilst I 100% believe that historical figures must be reborn just like the rest of us, I find the idea of multiple claimants does weaken the case for reincarnation amongst people who are already struggling to believe. It even shakes my own belief to be honest.
I...
I've honestly felt this way as long as I can remember, just an incredible sense of longing and love, of someone missing from my life. I always felt I'd lost a sweetheart in the Great War, that I'd been left behind and I'd waited and they'd never come back. I used to wonder if the sense of loss...
I agree with The wanderer, my friend's grandma was called Ina and she was from a tiny Scottish island. The raining every day seems quite Scottish too! And the red-haired child!
I think SeaAndSky has put everything I wanted to say so brilliantly that I'd have a hard time adding anything!
The way I deal with past life trauma is to try and separate those lives from my current one, to see them as different people who are part of my whole, if that makes sense. I'm not the...
I chose middle class, because I think it fitted the closest.
My immediate past life (1900s) was poor and I was serious and unhappy due to loss and grief caused by the wars.
A life in 1700-1800s, where I was respected and middle class (a vicar's daughter I think) and I was happy and playful...
Hello ColourODarkness! Oh, it's fantastic to share that odd sensation with someone else! I live near a small airfield (also in the UK) and we mainly have light aircraft overhead, but rather a lot of them!
I've often wondered how much sense my compulsion makes. I know people had guide books to...
Looking at your earlier post it seems we have similar memories, curious_girl. Only I was in an English city. If I hear planes overhead today it still makes me anxious. And I like to see what they look like after they've passed... ("ours or theirs", maybe?).
I recently visited the city where I...
That's exactly what I mean, Argonne. The honour of our family name seemed huge back then and my father's importance so vastly exaggerated. I felt a little bit sick when I could find no trace of him. That pit-of-your-stomach feeling when you've done something stupid or regretful A life thrown...
I hope that's the case Argonne! I believe this would be 1500s - 1600s, possibly during the Italian Wars. So records really would be few and far between. And I really don't think there would be much data for him anyway, beyond birth and death records. I was quite interested and amused by how...
