Evidence or not??

[smac2012]

HI

This is my first thread. Before my question - i want to describe myself a bit. I have been interested in this field for 3 years now since my brother under want a regession. He had never read any books, but was having very valid dreams, He wanted answered so he want for a couple regressions. His 1st was a past life regression. When he told me about that i was skeptical. However he went for a LBL (life between life) regression - he spoke about events that lined up 100% with Dr Micheal Newtons Destiny of Souls. when i heard his session and read Destinsy of Souls - my skeptism melted away. Ever since - i have read any book i can get my hands on. I want to read Carol's books. That is on my TODO list.

However - i was curiuous about past life regessions so i booked my own to see what i would say. I have never studied history -- but what i said was interesting. My clearist PL memory was I was a soilder in the British army. I stated the year as 1776 and spoke about training in Winchester preparing for a battle. The battle was Long Island where i was killed in battle from a gun shot wound.

References to Winchester:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army_Training_Regiment#Phase_1

Reference to battle i named:

http://www.historyofwar.org/articles/battles_long_island.html


I was blown away when i crossed referened what i siad with what i found. LIKE I said -- I never ever studied history.


A side note -- when i was 23 - I was employed by the Canadian GGFG (a miltiary reserve unit who performs changing of the guard on Parliament Hill in Ottawa during the summer.)

I hated it and felt overly nervious, anixity, could not sleep at night etc. I remember feeling that way as soon as I put on the red uniform. I did get an injury was used as a Office admin for the summer. I never understood why I felt that way until my past life regession - I thought that was interesing.


So with my own experience and all of the other content that is out there (including this site) - i am a real firm believer now in reincarination. For me - to think otherwise -- does not make sense.

So - what do people think of my experiece. Is it good evidence or as a skeptic would argue - a lucky guess?

Welcome to the Forum, and I hope you find the answers here that you are searching for.


Carol Bowman recounts in an interview of a situation involving her then 5 year old Son, Chase, who became hysterical at a 4th of July celebration, an hysterical reaction brought on by the loud noises from the fireworks.


Later on, a friend of Carol's, a Hypnotherapist, gently questioned Chase who recounted a life as a soldier from years past, who was initially shot in the wrist, which resulted in this lifetime of him having eczema at that very spot on his wrist, in addition to his fear of loud noises.


The man (who Chase was) in a PL, did not enjoy being a soldier back then, as you also did not (as reported in your post).


Please see: http://www.pureinsight.org/node/1585 for that interview with Carol.


In my personal opinion, it is very possible and highly likely, that your reactions in this lifetime, were perhaps a direct result of experiences from a Past Life (PL)?


I hope this information (and the link) helps, and good luck with your future search, and remember a search for truth's in life begins with the first step, and it is apparent that you have taken those first steps!

Welcome to the Forum Smac2012! There is, I think, something healing about sharing common memories -- even if those memories are shared by a soldier from the other side. My memory of that same war began as I watched British ships enter Kips Bay between Brooklyn and Manhattan. We were but a handful of Americans, who evacuated that area along Broadway. I'm familiar with the Battle of Long Island and have since been part of many Bicentennial reenactments since.


I'm familiar with that gut-feeling you experienced while in uniform, and would be quite open to hearing more about your impressions. You'll find this a very safe place to openly discuss your questions, and I hope you'll take advantage.

I have found that it's the things that sort of leap out of your head but then don't go away. I'm suspicious of regressions. Trying to remember doesn't work, at least for me. But there have been times someone casually says something or the conditions are just right, and some piece of info will suddenly jump out as if it's been realized all along. I just jot a note of anything I think is memory and keep it. Sometimes it pans out, sometimes not. I don't get too serious about it, and I think that helps keep the brain loose enough to cough things up!

When I was a little boy, I imagined a tiny man, running around and around in my brain, stuffing memories, thoughts and dreams in different cubby holes, kind of like a postal clerk would sort letters!


A mind can be a terrible thing to waste, especially when it's wasted on me!


Now that I'm much older, my recall is a bit slower, but all of sudden, what I need to know will "pop" into my head (sooner or later).


In a way, my memories of Past Lives (PL) is similar to that, as certain stimuli (such as vision or smells) will often "trigger" a PL memory when you least expect it.

different sides


Hi Nightrain1


I reported being a british soilder and you were on the american side - maybe someone you knew shot me -- :laugh:


Anyhow - these are all very interesting. I remember when the first time i heard the type on play back -- i was blown away by what came out of my mouth and the fact that what i said was accurate. I never studied history.

Hi Nightrain1
I reported being a British soldier and you were on the American side - maybe someone you knew shot me -- :laugh.

I think the fact that we may have both participated in the same historic tragedy provides a tremendous bond -- no matter what side one was on. I greatly value the courage soldiers had in order to stand should-to-shoulder in lines while reloading by command and taking fire from the opposing side, who did the same in turn. Firing from behind rocks and trees was the exception rather than the rule back then.


The Americans put up a good fight at Jackson Heights, Long Island; but the British found a pass and managed to surround them, killing or capturing most. Those who got away either drowned in the Brooklyn marshes or managed to escape in a few boats at night, only to be captured at Fort Washington on Manhattan (Where the George Washington Bridge is today).


My best friend, who just passed away last year, had a regression years ago, which placed him with me on the American side. He reacted as you did, and another friend who witnessed the regression bugged out and had to leave the session, because it spooked him so badly.


I should tell you that participation in groups that recreate the 18th Century can be an extremely therapeutic experience for someone, who feels any connection with that period. You may even discover former comrades as I did. I should also mention that my older son cuts a fine figure as a British Soldier.
