Without wishing to threadjack, our fellow forum-member Lights has written about their memories before, memories which they feel are consistent with having been Lightoller, shouldn't these be given consideration in your theory?
I’ve already provided as many comments as I’m able and willing to - memories require supporting evidence, and I don’t believe Stalin and Lightoller are the same soul as I see no indicators of this. If you need different answers that fall in line with your perceptions/beliefs, then ask someone else.
In my experience, knowing someone at a soul level involves having known them as a person in their past life.
In your experience perhaps, but your experience does not invalidate the experiences of others ... just as my experiences don't invalidate yours.
Many people – myself included - have lived many lives, so there is no telling when we may have crossed paths with other souls. We could be talking about a 50, 500 or 5000 years+ span that occurs b/w interactions. Even indirect connections between souls can be enough to spark a recognition or feeling of familiarity with another – e.g. Z person gives birth to Y, who then gives birth to A, who grows up and becomes a friend of T who marries C who went to school with K .... in a past life you were person K, and in this life you encounter or are drawn to an individual who was person Z, and you may even feel a strong familiarity but just don’t recognise the individual/link. This occurs frequently, but only a few people are able to recognise the link(s) and validate the experience(s).
Did you know Lightoller in a past life in order to recognise them now?
Without a doubt, interactions with another soul in a previous lifetime would help prompt recognition; but you don’t need to have known someone to recognise who they were.
No matter how much we read or learn about anyone, we can never truly know them as a person.
Excuse my bluntness, but this isn’t about knowing a person in totality, like knowing whether they had a nose hair hanging out or not. This is about recognising who someone was in the past (however that recognition comes to us - either as personal memories, intuitive spark, or a synchronous moment etc.), and part of that process sometimes then involves looking at historical records to obtain proof or some solid evidence that supports the recognition, so that we are left with no or little doubt.
The basic fact is though, that memories are probably the most important thing to consider, first and foremost, when investigating past lives.
That really is an opinion, rather than fact. Sometimes memories do not relate to personal soul experience – esp. when the memories relate to famous or well known lives - so any individual with these “memories” should investigate further when this is possible, to avoid reaching the wrong conclusion. (The ID is distinct from understanding the messages held within the so called “memories” experienced, so from this perspective those memories are important, but from an ID perspective memories are not the most important thing imo).
Ultimately, only the individual can know who they were in a past life, no matter how much others may investigate or speculate with astrology, likeneses, personality traits etc.
Ultimately, that may be absolutely true for you. It’s not for me, so your experience cannot invalidate mine. Past life identifying factors such as personality traits, astrological markers, physical likeness, similar activities etc. are factors acknowledged by many to be crucial and useful as supporting evidence (whether memories are present or not). In my experience, those with memories who don’t bother looking for supporting evidence are those who are may incorrectly attribute a memory not related to their own personal soul experience as their own; or they will misidentify themselves (e.g. think they were the king rather than the guard standing behind the king).
To go claiming a past life for another when they haven't themselves claimed memories or intuition for that past life is both unhelpful (ie muddying already murky waters), and also disrespectful for the soul(s) concerned, as they are on their own journey and to go claiming a past life for them without their permission is quite intrusive into their soul journey.

about this. Anyone else have this kind of experience.
