Hi Blind_Sighted:
We have had several people with memories of fighting on the German side in WWII post on the board at one time or another. So, you may want to read some of those threads. I think your two pledges to yourself are good promises, pledges and/or aspirations (as the case may be)...
Hi blind_sighted,
Thanks for fixing your initial posting. It seems to support a more negative view of reincarnation at this point. Many see it as all lollipops and roses, at least in terms of the underlying reasons and motivation for the process. I confess to taking that same position early...
Hi Cryscat,
Do you have any idea what the circumstances were? Was this an official/judicial form of execution, a murder, or maybe your sad end in the midst of an enemy raid? I'm really curious to find out how this might have come to pass.
Cordially,
S&S
Hi Cryscat,
Now you have piqued my interest enough to dive into the conversation you are having with Eponia. Query: Do you mind explaining a bit more about the suffocation you mention suffering as a woman, and why it might also be something that Eponia suffered?
Cordially,
S&S
Hi Eponia,
Easier for you just to click on the little magnifying glass icon at the top of the page and search "gallic wars". I did not search "gaul" or "gallic" by themselves, but you might also find something interesting by using terms like these.
Cordially,
S&S
Hi Eponia,
Just doing a quick search, I found a couple of postings using "gallic wars" but the member who had memories from that era is no longer active.
Best,
S&S
Hi Eponia,
It remains a cornucopia of useful and searchable information. And, it was a very dynamic and busy place for almost a decade after I joined in 2014. Posts and interest seemed to drop off radically over the last few years, which is a bit sad, but (as previously mentioned) seems to be...
Hi Eponia,
Welcome aboard. Things are much quieter here than they used to be, but reincarnation is a topic that in my lifetime (I am in my 70s) has gone through many cycles in terms of the interest of Western people. In any case, I wish you good luck. You might want to use the search...
Hi Lesserwatch,
Sounds excellent! I hope to listen to it later. For the moment, my workday :rolleyes: beckons. Sigh!
Cordially,

PS--I am especially intrigued by the in-family reincarnation aspects.
Hi Precinct,
I have a very hard time thinking that what you experienced was merely a dream. If it was, your dreams are a lot more gritty, true-to-life, and realistic than mine have ever been. This could be true, but I think the extreme realism that I am getting--just from your...
Hi Precinct,
I am definitely not going to try to convince you that this is a memory from one of your own past lives. In the vast universe of psychic phenomena, all kinds of things are possible. Perhaps you did tap into someone else's memories, some vast reservoir of memories, the legendary...
Hi lesserwatch,
I hope you can help with the forum, it needs new dedicated people, and you definitely have the background to be good at something like this.
Cordially,
S&S
Hi Chuck ("lesserwatch"),
Welcome to the board! I'm in the middle of catching up with another friend via PM/DM, but I wanted to take a break to get back to you. Actually, I took an earlier break when I saw that a "lesserwatch" was looking things over, and fed your avatar into AI to find out...
Hi Baro-san,
Thanks!! I believe it was the first book you cited above. I think I will try to find it again. ☺️ I won't be surprised if it can be accessed online (so many books from my youth seem to be readily available now on the Internet Archive or elsewhere).
Cordially,
S&S
Hi Totoro,
I first heard of the Gospel of Thomas in a book on Zen. I think it was back in the late 60s or early 70s. I can't remember the name of the book, but it quoted sayings from the Gospel of Thomas along with (and often with parallel meanings to) those being quoted from Zen masters. I...
Hi Sakamoto Ryoma,
This sounds like a forbidden love, which may have been only on your side. Things like this certainly happen. She might have been your superior from a societal standpoint or already have had a spouse. Perhaps, as in the case of Romeo and Juliet, she was part of an enemy...
Hi Totoro,
I am familiar with the Gospel of Thomas, and especially like one saying (that I believe speaks to reincarnation). However, I don't think it can be exalted over the rest of scripture. The tone is different, but I generally see it as being something that can be harmonized with the...
Hi Sakamoto Ryoma,
This is a very interested "snippet" memory. Brief, but seemingly very vivid and memorable. And, to me at least, the woman and her smile seem to be the focal point of the memory. It makes me wonder whether this is a preparatory flashback, possibly presaging a coming renewal...
There is an active discussion going on in terms of the board's future. I am among those who want to see it continue. In my experience, interest in reincarnation in the West tends to go through cycles. Right now we seem to be at a low point, but I trust that interest will start moving up again...
