Past Life Familiarity

[Makara]

Hi, all.

I am new member to this group.

I have had past life familiarity with a few people in my life, but one of the strongest was a girl at work.


Not only was her face familiar, but so was her voice and her clothing, and her mannerisms - in fact she was "too" perfect for my perfect woman!


Every time I spoke to her or looked at her, I was overwhelmed by her familiarity.


I also felt she was my "Enemy" somehow.

I remember the very first time I saw her - my heart burst with unhappiness - and I knew she was my perfect "Wife", but that I could never have her - I also "knew" she would break my heart.



2 years later, she did by marrying someone else.

Has anyone else on the group had a similarly intense feeling of familiarity, as if sensing Past Life relationships?

Hi Makara,


Welcome to the forum and thanks for sharing your experience, even though it seems to be an unhappy one


Are you still in contact with this girl at work? I wonder if she has similar feelings towards you? Maybe you could 'casually' begin a conversation about past lives with her and see where it takes you, it does sound possible that the two of you may have a soul connection with each other.

HI Makara


I have had those feelings several times and have learned to take a good look at any feelings I have in regards to our past lives together. It gives me perspective on where I am in my now, as I reflect on some of the dysfunctional things we may have shared in our past and also the happy times together.


Like one fellow I have never talked to, only seen at functions , who I found immediately attractive.. But I was kind of gun shy about relationships so rather than approach him I decided to do a regression concerning him . It immediately came to mind that he had been a mother of mine long ago. He was a very kind mom and life was safe and nurturing .


Now I do not have a strong mother figure in my life this life, so I had to decide did I like him for himself -- ie could I live with his faults and nuascences , or was it because of my mothering needs. I took my time when getting to know him better , to really watch him and figure out if I really liked him enough to make a go of a relationship. I decided no, my longings came more from the missing mom in my heart..and so I approach him from that perspective instead, honouring what he can give me from that mom perspective .. IT saved me time and remaining his friend...


Now I need to do that with the women I meet also . I am more forgiving with the men in my life and I maybe miss out on some lovely past life pats on the back from that side of things. I don't know what I am afraid of..>MMMM??? something past life I expect.. you have got me thinking.. .


Often you can think things will work out friendship/ love wise but our difficult character traits and ego can put a damper on things. Like Chris I wonder if you have done any regression work around knowing what happened in your past together with this person ?. It might help you to resolve the strong attachment you had to her.

Hi Makara, Welcome to the forum! In my present life, I have met two people that from the moment I met them, I knew them completely - I knew their likes, their humor, their fears, indeed it was as if I knew everything about them, and they knew me as well. Both times (these meetings were seperated by about 10 years) I felt as if I had met my perfect mate. Both times I began a romantic relationship and both times the romance didn't work out. (It was almost as if we knew eachother too well, and there was no learning about the other person to be had). I have, however, become fast friends with each and even though we live thousands of miles apart we speak several times a week and have done so now for years. They are my two best friends.


I tell you this story to ask if maybe you are in a similar situation and maybe you should just be content to have this woman in your life as a friend. Everyone is diferent and every relationship is different, so I could be off base here, but sometimes, I think that while the love that we had for a person in a prior life will never die, it can, and sometimes should, change.


Anyway those are just my thoughts and take them as you will. Once again welcome to the forum and thanks for sharing. I hope to see a lot more of you around here.

Hello Makara,


Thank you for joining us here. You will find it a safe place to explore reincarnation.


In regard to recognizing someone as you did, this seems to be a common occurrence, especially in regard to past loves and intimate companions. The levels of emotion from that past are triggers in this life too. I speak from experience, you are not alone! As Alexnovo said, having her in your life now as a friend may be a good thing...a blessing. I am a believer in "the lessons" of living...karma, and perhaps you and this person are here again for a greater reason and lesson?!


What ever the purpose, it can be a valuable learning experience for you. Study, read and explore reincarnation, the answers will manifest themselves as they need to. Trust your instincts.


Again welcome,

Hi, thanks for your kind and understanding reply


Unfortunately, she went overseas (I am on London, England - she is in New York now)


A Tarot reader had told me there would be nothing between us, as she was going "far, far away" - and it happened!


The other irony is - because she was older and one of my Managers


But then just before she left our office, the cause was she actually tried to get close to me one night - and I (being a typically stupid and boastful young male) told the other males in the office - causing all sorts of problems for her, and forcing her to transfer


- I always prayed that I hope she leaves our office before she gets engaged to someone - as I want her, but she can never be interested in me (as I am younger and a subordinate) -


Bitter-sweet irony therefore that I was the cause of her exit from the office - and she got engaged 2 months later!


I have written to her once some years ago (5 years after I last saw her), but she (understandably) says she has no idea who I am.


I did however write I will make it up the hurt I did to her in our next lives - now, I just hope we're allowed to "choose" our next-life connections by the Gods!

Hi, Soulfriendly.


Thanks for your reply - I did have a professional regression in 2001 (3 years after this girl and I parted ways) - but was not at that time obsessed with her, so did not connect anything


- however, here is something you may find interesting - on her last day in our office, she broke down and started berating me for "getting rid of her" - and clung to me, weeping that she wasn't going to let go of me now.


I had a horrible sense of destiny when this happened - like "I knew this was alwayssupposed to turn out this way"!


At the time, I had no idea what she was talking about - I thought she was leaving because she got another job - until the week after, when one of her female staff indirectly told me she felt she had to move out of the office, due to what I had told people (boastfully) she had tried on with me (i.e. seduction in the office one night, when everyone else had left) -


I also get the feeling she agreed to an arranged marriage in another country (England to USA is a big jump!) to partly get away from her humiliation here.


Now here is my first ever PLR from 2001 -


++++


I seemed to be in central India several hundred years ago (in this life, I am a UK-born North Indian) - and I was the King's under-cover private detective. I worked pretty much independently of anyone else.


I walked into the King's court, and noticed a pretty foreign military woman (from a country that was subtly trying to take over ours), along with a younger woman who seemed to be her Deputy.


I saw the first woman stealing some sort of precious ornament that belonged to the Palace, and I hid round a pillar watching the two women slip it away - I was amazed they did not see me, as I was quite close to them - but I also suspected they seemed to have deliberately done it for me to see, for some unknown reason.


I went to the King's court to tell him, but he was a buffoon and he flew into a rage, and told me to get out - I stood my ground, and he threw something at me, causing a bloody gash to my eyebrow or temple (I actually have a scar on my left eyebrow from being hit by a swing in this life) - but his Wife (the queen) seemed to trust me and was telling him to listen to me - although I wasn't paying her much attention.


(The Regresser asked if she had romantic feelings for me - I replied that I don't think so - I think she just knows I am genuinely loyal to them - unlike her husband, who is too stupid to realise his friends from his enemies).


I left the court in a huff to prove the foreign woman was the one who stole the object - and saw her smirking at me on the way (her younger Deputy always seemed to be with her) - then the next thing I knew, I was dragged by Guards to the execution grounds, and was falsely accused of stealing the precious ornament - despite me having seen who stole it - and the King ordered my execution.


I was thrown knee-down on to the floor, and my neck put on a wooden neck-shaped block. I was almost beheaded (the first strike on my neck failed to do anything, luckily), due to the politics played by the same woman - who then also "generously" manoeuvred things to get me let off the execution.


The idiot of a King then embraced me as if he had suddenly realised I was a loyal servant - but his convincing was due to the foreign woman "putting in a good word for me".


I was then chucked in a jail cell for a day or so - which I was also let out of "thanks" to the same woman - she visited me in my jail cell, and told me she was arranging for me to be released - but she made it clear to me that in exchange I was never to return to my city - as I was interfering too much in her plans.


I grudgingly had to agree, and was let out - and had no idea where to go, so walked out of the city sadly.


I came across a shallow river of sorts, and was wondering whether to cross it - when I had arrows fired at me - so I jumped in the stream, and swam for my life - as I was swimming away, I could see it was the same woman firing at me - and I was hit by one of the arrows, causing a minor bleeding injury on my arm.


I managed to get to the other side of the river, and faced off with the woman - who stopped firing as it was too far now for the arrows to hit me - and also, I don't think she actually wanted to kill me - and she just kept looking at me - I then gave her a stare, and turned tail and found a road.


As I walked along, I saw a young girl with a cart (possibly attached to a horse or donkey), who kindly gave me a lift.


She dropped me off, and I then found myself in a strange but beautiful city, which I had never been to - but seemed oddly like "my destination" or "home".


I walked into one of the houses, and affectionately greeted a woman who was not pretty like the foreign woman - but was refined and intelligent, and we placed our hands in each other's hands - I sensed back that she was a true friend, although not quite sure if that extended to romantic or marital relations - and somehow she seemed familiar.


At that juncture, I was then brought out of the regression.

Hi, Alex.


Thanks for your reply and welcome.


I too have had "almost-marriage" to 2 women who I seemed to "know" - I have told the board about the 2nd one


- the 1st one was related to me via marriage (her uncle married to my cousin) - and tried to marry me, she thought I was rejecting her, this caused deep scars.


When I first saw the 2nd girl, I was struck at how similar she looked to the first - and even her first name was the same as the first girl's older sister!


With both girls, I instantly was smitten, but also "knew" that my heart will be broken, as they are my perfect girl - but I can never have them.


Now I am looking and waiting for Number # 3 for many years - no luck so far - I find it very difficult to get involved with someone who is not "Love at first sight" - and both these girls were very powerfully LAFS.


On the note of both the girls (the 1st one in Spirit, - and the 2nd one in reality) -


One thing I remember clearly - when the 2nd one put her arms around my neck when she tried to kiss me, it felt weirdly like my daughter


- and also when she made me hold her on her last day, it felt more like I was holding my daughter - rather than my wife or girlfriend.


Maybe I have nothing to compare with, so it might just be because I am not used to hugs from girls (I keep my distance from touchy-feely type things, as I am very sensitive, and I believe too empathic) - but in this instance, it felt like my child rather than my wife - even when she started kissing my hair.


Even with the 1st girl's "ghost" with its nightly visits to me - that too felt more like a small girl putting her arms around me - rather than a Lover.


So there may be some past life Parent-Child connections here.


In the meantime, here's hoping for the 3rd to make an appearance!

Hi, Tinkerman and thanks for your welcome.


A guy who I met once and told the story to simply said to me -


"Maybe you left her to marry someone else in a past life - and now the situation is reversed".


This could well be the case - since I knew the second I saw her that she was my perfect "wife" - but also "knew" that I would NOT get married to her, and would have my heart broken.


Still, it's freaky how familiar she seemed - although she did not look like me, but when I looked at her it was like I was looking at "myself".


Hmm - perhaps Gender reversal from the last life??

One other thing which may be of relevance -


No matter how much I "desired" her for my Wife, when I looked at her and heard her voice, it seemed she was too "close" to get involved with -


although she was 3 years older than me (I was early/mid 20s, she was mid/late 20s) - I always thought of her as "younger" somehow than me - not in terms of age or maturity (I was definitely the "immature kid" out of both of us) - but something I could not explain - perhaps the way she dressed made her look "younger", like a school girl!


At times, she seemed like a younger sister, and sometimes older sister - and as in my previous post, even a Daughter - I felt insanely over-protective/possessive over her ever getting married - and yet always "felt" she is a blood relative.


Interestingly, she has no brothers (only a sister), and I have no sisters (only a brother) - the way I felt towards her was more like intense sibling rivarly AND sibling love.


We also got in to major power struggles at work - she would try to boss me around as she was a Manager, and I would always rebel - she even made several attempts to get me transferred to her section, but those always went awry.


We were also very possessive and jealous of each other talking to other people of the opposite sex - she used her Authority to get me in trouble twice from my Managers, whenever she saw me talking to new girls in the office.


She also at times seemed "maternal" - which put me through Hell, as I had a major crush on her.


And yet, I could not imagine or fathom having a physical relationship with her if we ever got married - I had "too much respect" for her, and the idea seemed incestuous.


I am wondering if perhaps she and I have been many things to each other...??? Across many lives?


And hence the husband-wife love has been "forbidden" by the Gods?

 

[Makara]

Hi, Tinkerman.


Could you explain this please?


>>>The levels of emotion from that past are triggers in this life too.<<<


Thanks!


========

 

[Tinkerman]

Makara, some followers of reincarnation recognize that highly emotional events in past lives surface as memories or dreams in current lives. In my own situation, the death of my two children and my wife in 1906 surfaced in this life as memories. Sometimes these are unresolved issues.

[Makara]

Many thanks, Tinkerman - I am trying to book a regression to work out my issues with this girl. Will let the board know if it happens!

 

[Alexnovo]

Makara, best of luck with the regression and I hope you do keep us informed.

I think it is a great idea for you to have a regression Makara.


I would not put it like it is forbidden by the Gods.. More like you are ready and wise enough to grow and and take some responsibility.


I have a personal theory.. ie it works in my life , concerning past life awareness and therapy. Part of the spiritual growth I have found is in being able to recognise in this life the dysfunctional relations that I have had and have still been very much attached to coming into this life.


I can see how I ended up bonded to the men and women I am now attracted to , in relationships of family settings.. siblings/ father/ mother/ and husband and wife.


I believe these past dynamics brought out characterstics in both parts of us . BUt I do think and see in my own spiritual growth that eventually it is essential for me to find the proper positioning so to speak in my concept of my own family..


So I do not want to be looking to marry my father/ mother etc.. I want to be looking and willing to marry into " pure love".. I am not saying that I will no longer marry some people who I have had familial relatoins with as I have no idea where my process of evolvement is at this time { I could well have tons of lives to live yet and will still be marrying into my family}


BUt I do think it is wise to realise who you are marrying.. and always keep this in mind as something given to us to take responsibility to. I think it is our responsitiblity to be breaking free of the confining limits of family , and moving towards finding our own personal strength and love based on a sense of personal identity and uniqueness.


Just as in growing up from a child into an adult. We hope to find the courage and the wisdom to find a sense of self reliance and responsiblity for our world.


I had a similar feeling like you to your office mate, of being swept up in emotions about a few men in my life this life. In regression I came to totally understand the dynamics of it all and with working on those understandings I am alot more mature and flexible when it comes to love.. ie I am not so self absorbed and my self esteem has improved.


I have had several posts on this group.. and will get to refering to them on this post when I have more time.


Good luck with your regression.. and keep us posted.

Here is a previous post of mine concerning a strong attraction I felt immediately to a person this life. .


I find if I am particularly drawn to someone it is often past life related. if I have that hunch that I have known that person from before I will take the time to reflect on what role I feel this person had when we were together before.


So for example , I may be drawn to a man , but he seems very feminine to me. I then reflect does he seem more like a mother, or a sister or an aunt or an etc..??


I may have had a life with this person in a few lives. In one they may have been my mother, in another my husband. But my predominant feeling is of the feminine role. I then concentrate on this life to try and uncover the root of the dynamic that is affecting me so much.


So for example. I had a male freind to me a female. I was very attracted to him sexually . But he did have a softer side to him. I did a regression to try and figure out the dynamic between us. I remembered him as a husband . Remembering this life did not help me to learn what I felt I needed to learn.


I then regressed some more and I remembered him as a sister. This memory fit in totally with the pattern I was having a difficult time with. THrough working with this role of him as sister , I was able to get over my dependence on him .


In our first life as sisters we had been overly attached. We had made a pact to ourselves to never marry , just so that we would not leave each other alone . We both ended up spinsters and I was not very happy at the end of my life.


So this relationship ended up stiffling us in the end.. as we never became independent and open to growing in maturity. Through regression work I used these insights to help raise my self esteem. increase my sense of responsibility and to become more compassionate . "


I feel that our ending up being married in a our second life together was not based on love but on our needs to be together. IT was an arranged marriage, not one based on love > He was never happy and I felt his frustration at his life .


THe way I see it is that our first life being sisters set up some dysfuncional patterns and I was looking for this sisterly energy again. Thus we were attracted again to share more time , so that we would learn about our dysfunctional feelings.


Eventually I wanted to become less dependent and more loving . I realised this life that this sisterly energy was not benefiting either of us. I had to learn to let him /her go.


I felt I could enter his world in this life again in my proper position-- ie as a friend and not a family married member. I did feel when I first met that I wanted to marry him again as I had a strong need to marry. He did not and was not attracted to me sexually.But I knew on one level I needed to grow up and see him differently. In this life we were "meant" to be temporary friends. Through our relationship I was able to explore my past life issues with him .


It turned out the reason I probably picked up this feminine/ sister aspect of him was that he was extrememly close to his sisters = more than I had ever known in a man. So he was reflecting the love of sisters so much that I craved it deeply. And since I had had that role with him I felt comfortable enough to allow myself to be open to exploring those feelings.


Through regression work I used these insights to help raise my self esteem. increase my sense of responsibility and to become more compassionate .


In this life I had a very strong attachment to my twin sister < the one who had been with me in 1940-1944 as a twin, the one who had been with me in the womb before birth but aborted early, the one who had attached to me in my near death experience at age 2 and had remained with me in spirit until age 45 when I became aware of her..


So this strong attachment to sisters was a pattern this life. And knowing this fellow with my previous sister attachments helped me to get to know more of this ongoing issue I had.This sisterly issue played strongly in my character this life and I see now that my life was "arranged " or orchestrated around working at this issue.


I remember the day I had a major breakthrough when broke through understanding some of my sisterly karma. I was driving in my car and I all of a sudden noticed I could look people in the eye without the same sort of emotional issues I had had before. THrough working out my past life issue I had totally gotten rid of some fear.


And a side note.. He had a very difficult time putting weight on. in this life . he did not want to eat alot for fear of being fat. The life we had together , he as my husband was very fat.. In this life he was trying to overcome this fear as it annoyed him so much. So I wonder what sort of karma relates to his issue around being fat? IT would be interesting to see him again to reflect some more on this and suggest to him regression work could possibly help him. I would no longer feel I needed to hide my story to him so much as I am more confident about my memories -- ie that I had had a major crush on him, and that I believed we had shared our lives together before..

Dear Makara,


Welcome to the forum. You are in the right place.


I read your story with great interest. It is very vivid and detailed. All the hallmarks of a past life memory/experience are present and like all great stories, it is about love. Rejoice. Don't be afraid.


My advice to you (hard earned as it is) is to have patience and behave well and you can't go too far wrong in the 'long' term, even in such a turbulent and confusing situation as you are presented with.


I offer to you a story (or two or three...) in return for your own. This is the story of My friend X, hoping it will be of interest and instruction on your journey. You are not the first to have something like this happen and you won't be the last.


Again, welcome.


As to regression and meditation techniques, I suggest you read these excellent threads:

Hello Makara,


I had my first regression with a professional. This gave me the feeling for the validity of the process. She was not a therapist though which I regret.


For 10 years I was not interested > Then I started doing self regression. I did not know of someone good to see and I had very little money.


I have always used body/mind relaxation/meditation/prayer , bringing in reference to what happened to me in my past. I started with concentrating on my breath to center myself and confirm I was safe. At that time I had mitral valve prolapse which had gone undiagnosed for 13 years and breathing was difficult for me. So concentrating on breathing gave me a sense of control and a sense that I was bigger than the death that I worried about with suffering from this symptom.


I used awareness of the stresses I felt in my body. I was extra aware of stress due to my illness of chronic fatigue/fibromyalgia . Realising how much stress was affecting me I became more motivated to work on my past experiences which were affecting my already compromised body energy.


If I am feeling stressed , I will take time out and do some reflecting. I will lie down/ sit comfortably , relax my body putting effort into being totally relaxed. I will sometimes visualise another person with me.. someone who I trust and can confide in.


I will empty my mind , and look at the stressors in my life at the time. I will look at the tension in my body , then ask in prayer for guidance as to which life it reflects. After practicing I now can sense I am triggered into a past life. I will ask simple questions like what sex am I, what am I wearing. Then when I am feeling comfortable in my old self I will get more details like the year , what is happening to me and who is with me, and who these people are in my life now.


I will try and confirm in the goodness of my world and watch if I am being negative in any manner. Then look for a pattern that may be happening. I will keep asking for answers like if I need to go to another past life experience in another life, or if I need to tie it in with something that happened in this life. If I feel really stuck I will refer to God, or to that imaginary person who is with me. Most times I do feel reassured and will end my session when I feel some stress has been resolved.


Like yesterday I was feeling down about the trauma of having been so weak this life. It reflects on my past life of being in a very abusive situation where I also felt helpless. I brought that scene to my mind . Realizing this experience was not something I felt I could handle by myself I visualised a person who I trust with me guiding me and reassuring me. I then did some self therapy/ self talk around making it so that I could see I am in control now and that past is no longer with me.


I would suggest giving self regression a try. I found the more I practiced the easier it got. I also got the reassurance that it was a very worthwhile process as I would come away from my regressions feeling better about myself and my world.

Thanks, SF - I have had 2 PLRs - both with the same (male) trained Professional, in 2001.


I am now going to try a new Regresser to see if he can assist me further in this "story".

Rivalry


An additional point I had since first seeing her was an insane feeling of jealousy and of "She doesn't deserve her position above me".


Every time I saw her do well or get praised, I felt extreme resentment. She wasn't much older than me (25/27 versus my 22/24), but I always got irked by her being so successful at such a young age.


I am not usually competitive in the workplace - and it's usually me who gets targeted by some jealous colleagues.


But for some reason, I couldn't help swallowing a bitter lump in my throat every time I looked at her.


What a strange attraction of lust, love, bitterness and jealousy - all at the same time!


I wonder if she got me removed from my job (or took my job) in a past life perhaps...that's the only thing I can think of as to why I resented her success so much.

Perhaps! These past life relationships can stir up all sorts of strangely intense emotions that can seem irrational on the surface. The trick is to unravel them and try to work out what's really going on. It may be to do with a past life job situation ... who knows? You do.

HI Makara


I have found rivalry and jealousy raising its head had to do with a change in sex between the two parties. I had a girlfriend this life. She went through a phase where she was very jealous and untrusting of me. I believe it was because of a change in our relationship.\


In our previous life we had been a married couple. Me being the man. When we first met , she attached to me being attracted to my outgoing and yes sometimes overly outgoing and abnoxious character. When I had troubles of my own and needed to look to her for strength I could not communicate my needs as I was used to being the " male " in charge.


Before I even considered the possibility of reincarnation , when we were having our rocky times in our relationship she would say we were like a married couple. I now laugh. She got to be very jealous of my friendships with her boyfriends, who I was not really into , ie no ideas on my part to take them away from her. I always treated the boyfriends more as the male friends I would have had in our past life together-- which also reflected my upbringing of having only brothers as siblings.


Our relationship did not survive the tension . I could not see through the jealousy at that time. Now I would handle it differently , knowing of our past life together.

Tan, I agree - I had no reason to be so jealous of her - as you say, it seems *totally irrational* - I still don't know why I singled her out for my Green-eyed Monster!


Even more ironic therefore that unbeknownst to me, she actually wanted to marry me - it's like wanting to marry your Foe!

That's interesting, SF - this girl was almost "manly" in her fierceness and self-confidence - her face while beautiful had a certain "cruelness" about the mouth and eyes.


Conversely, I have been called in jest "a woman trapped in a man's body" - as I am very sensitive, and blush easily.


You could be on to something here!

My Past Life Regressions - April 24th - 2009 - PLR 1


The Regresser who did my Past Life Regression actually does two PLRs back to back.


First PLR -


=========


At first, all I could see was some sort of Lake, and a sky showing dark sunset colours.


The regresser told me to look down at my feet - and I saw what appeared to be white "socks".


It seemed I was a very placid and totally detached Monk of some sort - perhaps in Nepal or Tibet - wearing what appeared to be a pointy hat of some sort, and white clothes that resembled "long johns" or thermals.


I seemed to only be in my 30s, but looked incredibly emaciated and old and ugly for my age.


The Regresser kept taking me forward to various stages in my Life - but it was always the same thing repeating - the Monk just sitting there dangling his legs over some sort of Porch outside his "House" or "Monastery".


There was a brief appearance of what appeared to be the Monk's grand Abbot coming to see him - but he did not say anything either, and vanished quickly.


The Regresser then asked who the girl I am investigating my connection with was in that life - she appeared to look similar to how she is now, although slight differences - such as the mole on her nose now being on her upper lip in that Past Life.


She appeared to be trying to get the Monk's attention at first, but he seemed totally oblivious to anyone and anything.


Fast-forwarding in time, she then appeared to be cleaning the area where the Monk sat - perhaps out of devotion - but again, he just carried on unmoved as before - absorbed in himself.


Further in time, she appeared to be worshipping the Monk - but I noticed although it looked like the Monk, it was too small - it seems possible she had made a statue or idol in the Monk's image! And had adorned it in a nice material and garlanded it in flowers, etc.


I was asked to move forward to my Death - the Monk died on the floor much as he had lived - with virtually no particular pain or emotion - he seemed to be face-down on the floor - and the Woman seemed angered at him having died, and paced around his body.


I was asked to visit my "Inter-life", i.e. the state after that death - but nothing much seemed to happen there either.


The Regresser asked my spirit to agree with the girl's spirit to break all ties - but I got the feeling "my" spirit was refusing to let go of the connection.


The Regresser asked what about the girl's spirit - my reply was she is just neutral - neither hanging on to the connection, nor letting go.


(Part 2 in next post)

My Past Life Regressions - April 24th - 2009 - PLR 2


Second PLR -


===========


Again, there appeared to be water of some sort, and a sunset colour sky.


I saw what appeared to be a sword in it's scabbard - and eventually saw a tall and well built Italian or Roman looking man, with dark curly hair and Burgundy colour clothes - he seemed to be from the Renaissance times. He was in a Glade of a garden he was allowed access to.


I got a vague impression of some carefree younger woman dancing across the Glade, but she and the man seemed oblivious to each other.


Fast-forwarding, the man went to what appeared to be a Harbour, and looked out across the water - as if waiting for something or someone.


Moving forward again, he appeared to be in his house - which was next to the Harbour - and seemed to just stand looking off in the distance a lot.


I was asked who the girl I wanted to find out my connection with was in that life - she appeared to be a tall fair-skinned slim woman, with long frizzy hair - totally different to how she looks in this life.


For some reason, I saw no evidence of them having any Children.


While the man was studying some sort of scroll or map, the woman (his Wife I believe) was sitting on the floor, looking at him. He however kept paying attention to whatever he was studying.


Later, they both went down to the Harbour steps to receive a boat of Merchants (possibly Egyptian) that had brought fine textiles and house decorations for sale - the man and woman seemed impressed with the items - they seemed to want them to decorate their house.


Fast-forward - and there seemed to be a scuffle inside the House - I got the impression they had both gotten into some unsaid argument - and the man had tried to grab the woman's throat (she defended herself) - but he threw her on the floor - and he stood there, as she dared not get up.


Later on (perhaps a day or week later), there was a verbal argument about some unimportant matter - then the man turned his back on the woman, who picked up a heavy ornament and smashed it in to the back of his skull - he collapsed, but did not bleed.


He crouched on the floor, and continued to fend off blows from the woman - as she tried to keep hitting his head with the object without success.


Some time later, things seem to be patched up - and the woman seemed to be doing some female "work" - such as tapestry or cooking.


Forwarding again - the man seemed to be eating standing up from a tray - the woman came up behind him, and put her arms around his neck in a gesture of attempted affection - but he just carried on eating - she tried to hug him closer, but again he just carried on eating oblivious. She tried a closer hug - but the same result again.


Moving to Death - the man was lying face up, with his head contorted in pain - and his body at a strange angle.


The woman was standing at the body, pacing angrily and rubbing what appeared to be a sharp object like a "diamond-shaped" blade or knife - she kept muttering at the man's body, and rubbing this blade between her fingers.


The Regresser asked if there was any blood - I replied "None at all".


I was then asked to move to the Inter-life of this life - nothing much happened - and the Regresser again asked my spirit in that Inter-life to make peace with the woman's spirit and agree to detach forever from each other.


But again, my spirit didn't seem to want to detach - whereas the woman's spirit seemed neutral once again.


I was brought out of the regression - and told the Regresser I was extremely disappointed in both lives - as both of the men seemed incredibly out of touch with anything to do with others.


I also told the Regresser that in this Life, the girl had bashed me over the head very hard - when I had lied to her about being Engaged - immediately after telling her I loved her (callous, I know - but I don't play mind games any more).


The Regresser replied that sounds like what happened to the Roman's head too!


The Regresser said she felt very sorry for the girl - as she had tried to show devotion in both lives - and in this present life had gotten fed up of waiting for me to return her affections too, and had married someone else.


She commented the girl had even seemed to worship me in the first life (through the idol of me).


I expressed surprise about why what appeared to be a reasonably attractive young looking woman could have been interested in such an emaciated and ugly looking Monk. The Regresser commented that in some cultures extremely spiritual types were shown a lot of reverence as "Love is in many forms" - so it could have been attraction to the spiritual element of the Monk.


I have been asked to think more on these two lives - to see if anything else comes to the Surface.
