Paintings, Photos, Etc. of Your PL Self

[TedB]

Yes... for me, was the eyes, on "the" photo... and for several minutes i was "hipnotized" i just couldn´t stop looking... they were looking at me, or into me.

Yes exactly! It felt like looking into your own eyes. You can just tell.

Similar facial features / driver's license photos


On the assumption of similar facial-features carrying-over.


Can the often poor-quality of driver's license photos evoke "eerie deja-vu" feelings of possible past-lives?

I love these kinds of threads . Thanks for starting it SeaandSky! Well here is a portrait of my one life that I've made a thread about on here:

The above portrait was painted by Alexander Kucharski whom was commissioned by Queen Marie-Antoinette to be the Court Painter. He replaced Madame Vigee Le-brun as she wanted a more realistic approach to the portraits. Kucharski had an eye. Another portrait, also by Kucharski has always been mistaken for Louis-Charles but it is not him. It is his older brother, Louis Joseph whom was Dauphin and died in 1789. Louis-Charles became Dauphin at his death.


When I first saw this portait I resonated with it a great deal. I resonate with the one of my brother, but this one I resonate with on a very deep level. I recognised it instantly. Especially considering the fact I remember having light blonde hair. Louis Joseph had brown lank hair.

Hi Insearchof,


These are nice images. (You were a cute kid!) I have always felt that the "famous" in PLs had an advantage over the not so famous in this particular respect--you can usually find images of your PL self. :thumbsup:


I also have been fascinated by the fact that PL images are often claimed to resemble the current life person. This is always remarked on in terms of "the eyes" in particular, and many claim to be struck by PL images of themselves and especially by "the eyes". Do you see a resemblance to your current self, etc.?


S&S


PS--It seems clear to me that overall resemblance is going to be greatly impacted by cross-ethnic or cross-gender incarnations, but otherwise, I have seen some remarkable likenesses. Whether this is the exception or the rule in such cases I cannot say.

It can be a bit unsettling, I admit. It's like being a fly on the wall after you've left the room. Especially when you can find forum posts about your past life, books and other things that claim to know you, even though they've never met you.

That's interesting you've said that.. Even other people have pointed out the eyes about my self and my past lives. I've read many off the cuff statements online about photos of my past life. "she looks mad" "she looks like a man". I always get told I look mad (I'm just thinking!! and I'm not mad really!!) and conversely, I often get told with my eyes and lips I should have been a girl And my life before her, he was often known by his intense gaze.

SeaandSky, haha thanks! I have to agree, when you've had a recorded/well-known/famous past life incarnation the percentage of you finding a portrait/photograph of your old self is quite high. I feel bad for people who don't know what they looked like. It is hard definitely.


I'm quite older now in this life, much older then that portrait of the Dauphin (it was painted in 1790 or 1792. I forget which. He died in 1795, he was ten when he died) but Maman, she has told me that I still have the same smile, with a hint of mischievousness still there (or sneaky LOL !) I've also been told my eyes have seemed to carry over through several of my past lives. And I have to say it is unsettling like Totoro mentioned about seeing your old self. In that portrait, I see the resemblance to one of my more recent past lives. It carried over quite a lot. That life was actually VERY and eerily similar to my life as Louis-Charles. The life between I reached 28 years of age when I died. That incarnation was related to the incarnation after that. We (I say we, my incarnation where I died at 28 and my life where I died at 13) were related through blood. My mother in the middle life was the sister of the grand mother of my third incarnation. LOL ! Tongue twister that was!


In this incarnation I guess you can say I'm a little bit of each of my incarnations I've had. I think we all can relate to this .

I looked like this in my previous life, in my current I look similar except for the eye color. (In my PL, My eyes were icy blue, in my CL my eyes are dark brown)

I was aware of what my past life image looked like before I knew about reincarnation. I always felt a familiarity in the way my past self was and I always knew that in a similar context I would do similar things. I always stared at men who looked like my past life self, like as if I was meant to remember something. Reincarnation never entered my head however...not until I started remembering. Not much was taught about my PL self in history class at school back then. Politics had made me a footnote at that time, so aside from knowing what I looked like I hadn't really paid much attention to my PL self beyond watching a film about it and getting feelings I dismissed. After I remembered reincarnation film footage of me back then struck me in particular as being very like who I am today. Not in appearance although I am the same height and colouring in my current life..moreso in the way I moved and smiled. It was eerie and I felt pity for myself because I hadn't realised back then that I was so misguided.

This is a video of my PL self. I'm the one in the cap:

I realized this thread might already exist,but I wanted to see if anyone else has found actual photos of who they used to be! I think I've found a few and it's very exciting.However I don't take that as the only evidence..I had dreams and thoughts about that person long before I even saw their picture.I only vaguely knew about my mom's uncle,who had died in world war 11,but I believe I was always thinking of him.This is a photo of me when I was about 11 years old compared to him,smiling just like me,on the bottom.

I have few similarities with my PL self.

It‘s not the eyes exactly. My eye color is brighter now. It‘s more like the gaze. I was told it had something intense.

There may be another thread like this out there, but for those who have located an image of what you think is your possible PL self, what does looking at it make you feel like? What does it bring to mind? How do you react?

I am capable of putting up a shield of objectivity, and can pretty well do so with regard to this image as well--but if I let it go and really look at the image as being me I get the beginnings of a lot of confusion and confused feelings that leave me having to back off rather quickly, especially as I can sense wells of even deeper and potentially more disruptive memories and/or emotions below. So, I'm a chicken--sue me!

Anyhow, I know some do have photos or paintings they think "were" them. I'm curious about how others react in this situation.

I was a painter in a previous life and I painted the woman I loved even though she was married to another man. I have visited Milan recently and when to see the five hundred year old portrait in a gallery. I could not stop staring at it for over an hour and found it very difficult to leave the gallery as all the feelings of this former love poured out of me

When I see a painting or statue that looks exactly like someone I have met, my hands begin to tingle and I just know/feel that I have met this person.
Can't say much about paintings of myself, because either my ID still is not entirely clear or no one would have bothered to paint me. For the time after photography has been invented I do not have enough data yet (I don't even know my last name).
There is a painting of a boy in which I can see myself somehow. Not sure that was me, though. Too many other possibilities left. There is a painting of the same person (or rather: it is NOT that person) which I really hate. Can't bear looking at it. Because it looks WRONG? Dunno.
