I also believe that it's a mixture. In my case, I've never felt like I have much in common with my mother and I don't think we've shared many lives together, if any. On the other hand, I feel that my father and I share some "karmic ties" and have been through several lives together. On the...

I also had a strong reaction at a Holocaust museum a couple of years ago. What Totoro described is similar to what I saw at the museum I visited. However, there were some moments that really hit me at a spiritual level because I lived during WWII in Europe and I believe that my family was...

Interesting topic. I have very little recollection of distant past lives, only feelings about certain eras. When I was a child, I was obsessed with the Italian Renaissance and Medieval Europe and always felt like I might have lived during those times, but never had any real memories. Last...

I got Analytical Thinker: "Analytical Thinkers are reserved, quiet persons. They like to get to the bottom of things - curiosity is one of their strongest motives. They want to know what holds the world together deep down inside. They do not really need much more to be happy because they are...

I remember two deaths vividly. I had dreams of both. One was a hanging, and the other was a bombing. Both were extremely disturbing. When I was hanged, I had a hard time accepting that I was going to die. Even up to the moment they were putting the noose around my neck, I was convinced...

Saving Private Ryan stirred some strange feelings in me when it came out. At that time, I was only a teenager, and it wasn't until my twenties that I started feeling a strong connection to the WWII period. But I remember watching that movie in the theater, and it felt so familiar to me. It...

Hey there, BriarRose. That's a good point about our possibly mimicking family members. My dad worked in retail, and I know he never carried a lunchbox to work. I think he usually bought lunch at work. My grandfather was a truckdriver and worked overnight. So, as far as I can remember, I...

When I was very small, maybe four years old, I remember playing with my brother and calling him Johnny. This is not his name. And I distinctly remember thinking of us as grown men going to work in a factory. Sometimes I would pretend we were on our lunch break. It's interesting because I...

I have believed in reincarnation for most of my life, because my mother talked about it sometimes when I was a kid, and it made sense to me instantly. And I felt that I had memories and strong connections with certain places and eras. However, I grew up in a rural/suburban town in the...

BriarRose, thanks for posting about Daniel Merriam. I was just looking up his art, and it's beautiful. When I was a child and into my teens, I was obsessed with the Renaissance. The history, the art, everything. It made me feel happy to study that period. I think I lived then, and I think...

Arrant, I am also an ISFP. I took the test last summer during a class. The instructor mentioned that most adults are Js, because we tend to judge more as we age. Well, I'm still on the P side at 33. Anyway, we ISFPs are considered the Artists or Composers. When I was a teenager, my results...

BriarRose, thanks for the words of encouragement. The therapist I am seeing has not given me any suggestions for this. Right now, she only knows that I have used shamanic journeying as a technique to look into past lives, but maybe I can talk to her more about other techniques. She agreed...

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I had some thoughts to add to it. I tried to journey to this past life a few weeks ago, hoping to get some new information. One of the interesting things that happened was that, as I regressed, for a few moments I got stuck on myself as a baby. The...

I'll be honest. Depression, anxiety, and body dysmorphic disorder are the problems that have taken the biggest toll on me in this lifetime, and I currently see a therapist. I am very lucky that I have found a therapist who is open to ideas like reincarnation. So, I can tell her when I think...

I have never felt much closeness to my family. As soon as I was old enough and could afford it, I moved far away from them. It's not that I have no love for them at all, but I've always felt like I don't belong with them and that they can't understand me. I have known many people who feel...

My happiest lives were the ones when I was immersed in the arts. The memories and feelings I have are strongly positive and inspiring. I know that I lived during the Romantic Era, probably in France, and I think I really thrived in that environment. A psychic friend told me who he thinks I...

To the OP, I'm not sure if you knew this, but you posted during the 149th anniversary of the Battle of Cold Harbor. It lasted from May 31 to June 12, 1864. The title of this thread caught my eye immediately. I grew up in Virginia, and my grandmother lived off Cold Harbor Road, just a couple...

Thanks, BriarRose. I will have to create some of the details of the story, but like you said, I would hope that my subconscious will give me most of what I need. Do you know any good stories that I could find online that are based on past lives?

I looked through the forum to see if anyone ever posted something similar to what I'm about to say, but I didn't see anything. Lately I've been thinking about putting one of my past lives into short story form. I don't remember everything. In fact, I don't remember much at all except the...

My family didn't get a camcorder until I was eleven or twelve years old, so I don't think it would be worthwhile for me to look for clues in those videos. It is an interesting idea, though. It might be fun to watch old videos and look for personality traits, mannerisms, etc., that might give...
