Vietnam Soldier Past Life

Welcome to the forum A. Anderson, I'm glad that you joined us, also glad you aren't burdened by your memories. Are the memories snapshots with feelings or movie-type memories? When did your memories start?
They're mostly feelings. I have a deep love for the music back then. CCR and The Doors to name a couple. The memories started to become clearer around the age of 18 to 19
 
I'm into CCR and The Doors as well A. Anderson. I love classic rock and earlier music. The 1940s until the 1970s are my main drinking music.

I was very surprised to learn that I was in spirit during that period. The only reasoning I can come up with is that its perfectly logical for this pl self:

How many medieval incarnates do you think are into classic rock? Off topic I know, but you can take it as a rethorical question if you want.
 
Please help. I'm a 33yr old civilian with a wife and children and I never been in the military. No immediate military background. Recently,I have been obsessive about the Vietnam war. The more I read up on it or watch documentaries on it I feel a stronger connection to it. I often have difficulties explaining exactly what's going on not only in my mind but my heart and soul too. I feel it runs so much deeper than words can say. I dont know what to do. Am I crazy? I cannot get it off of my mind I think about it every day. I haven't told anyone about this not even my wife. Maybe I was a soldier in my past life? No dreams about it to my recalection. Halloway or Holloway comes to mind when I think about it. Dont know what any of this means please help
 
I'd love to be able to give you calming words of wisdom about your experience, but all that I can offer is a welcome to the forum and assurance that all, or at least most of us, have experienced something similar. Look around this forum and see if it helps to make you feel more comfortable.
 
Thank you. I have been glancing around. I feel as though there are unanswered questions. Maybe the answers to these unknown questions are here somewhere. I will continue to read. I dont know what to make of all of what's been going on lately in my head just looking to find out if anyone can relate to what I'm experiencing. Understand more of what's happening here than i know. I'm overwhelmed by these emotions
 
I know the feeling. It’s very scary!

I remember reading about Vietnam and looking at footage of it. I felt such a strong connection to the soldiers and got angry seeing how they were treated when they came home. I think I was in Vietnam 1965-1968. I felt a strong presence of friends from that time. I’m also a huge fan of CCR.

I tried a gun a few weeks ago. Nothing fancy, but it felt so good. I felt free, something I haven’t felt in a while.

I dont know what ccr is but I do know I felt and still feel anger and sadness for those brave men and how they were treated when they returned home. These feelings of connection just began about a month ago! It seems all too sudden and overwhelming. The music of that time intensifies these feelings! The first time I fired a gun felt natural to me.
 
ThomasReilly welcome to the forum. For the year before my first past life memories the 'ghosts' of my past lives manifested out of me. What I mean is that I found myself behaving exactly like my pl selves, so much so I visited my last incarnations grave. Reincarnation didn't enter my head though, I just felt a connection to my past life before I remembered that I was him. It is possible your memories will surface in the future. Writing things down helps I find.
 
Same!

It’s all over now. We can’t do anything. I just wish we didn’t have to go through that war. It definitely messed me up mentally.

Same here. Finally enough the gun I used was Russian. It fired small shots.


I don't know if I was a soldier in Vietnam in a past life. I dont know if I even had a past life. But I want to get to the bottom of it and I want to know. I hope some way somehow something someone can help explain why I have this sudden obsession and gut connection to Vietnam. Modern wars dont interest me. Ww1 and 2 the same. Or atleast no where near as much as the war in Vietnam does. I'm not here to offend anyone or mock anyone. I'm here to try and learn more about what's going inside me. I thank you and this forum for allowing me to begin my path to what I hope is closure. An answer. Thank you

How did you know who you were in your past life? In order to visit his burial site? Thank you for welcoming me to the forum!
 
I tried a past life regression and met some of my friends from that life. I waved goodbye and I haven’t had many dark memories from that war in a long way. It still hurts thinking about it, it felt nice accepting that it’s over though. I haven’t seen my friend from that war in a while. He visits me in his spiritual form sometimes.


Maybe a past life regression could be the answer I need? Is this like hypnotism? How would I go about that? I really appreciate all the feedback I'm getting thank you
 
Hi Thomas. I didn't know I was him, I just found myself in a comparable situation with similar people doing similar service as my pl self. In peacetime this time though.

I was Commander In Chief of the Free State army in my past life so I was well aware of my past life's existence before I remembered being him. After I got my first memories I visited his grave. It was obvious to me who I was since I remember the likes of General Dick Mulcahy reporting to me or speaking to large crowds etc. It all started connecting, however, in the year before my first memories surfaced. I used similar tactics, had similar traits, respected my superiors in similar ways....and I was forced to put my country before myself just as I had in my past life.

If your issues are past life related I hope it goes well for you.
 
Hi Soldier68. I don't look for much information on my past life anymore. Its like burrowing through a long dark tunnel. I prefer to just talk the ears off of a donkey. :)

I've met four people from my past life in my current life, none of them remembered of course.

R Lee Ermey was great. I watched a tribute video to him when he died.

I don't miss guns but I do miss my past life uniform at times.
 
Hi Soldier68. I always wear clothes of a military style, even when I was going through my long hair and leathers stage.

I died in an ambush 96 years ago so its even longer for me than you. I feel the guilt for it now though, that I probably should have felt at the time. It feels current even though it was a century ago.
 
I love blues and classic rock. Anything from the forties to seventies.

Every time I see this lady:

I feel very unhappy with God that she's now 76 years old. Its seems like a waste.

I fought in the GPO in Dublin during the 1916 Rising, the war of independence and the Irish civil war.
 
I do have a question, guys...

Now, there are typical "Vietnam War Era songs" like stuff from Credence Clearwater Revival or "Surfin' Bird" by The Trashmen, "Paint it Black" by the Rolling Stones, some songs from the Doors...
But...
Is "I want to hold your hand" by The Beatles amongst them? Or "No milk today" by Herman's Hermit's?
Just asking.
(Can't stop listening to them. Might be minor validation for me.)
 
Thank you for responding, Soldier68.
Of the Kinks and the The Who I have heard. I know a lot of old songs. Just was wondering why some particular ones always come back to me.
 
I also seem to remember "special" fun versions of some popular songs. Looked them up. They're all from the 1950's and 1960's, albeit one is a bit late, considering that it probably took some time until they were available at the radio in the middle of nowhere.

- "Que sera, sera" Nam version:
contained the lines
"...will my feet rot,
will I get shot,
that's what they said to me:
Que sera, sera..."

- something with "My Gun" instead of "My Girl"
(the one that feels almost too modern for me)

- "I'm crawlin'" instead of "I'm walking"

I do not remember who performed them. When someone here mentioned a guy playing the guitar and singing, this just came to me...

"I want to hold your hand" might be a song I loved when I was with my girlfriend, Susan. Feels like it.
Wish I could say her sorry for not returning to her as I promised, but I won't go and search for her... she might be still alive, she would be about my mother's age by now, in her seventies... what would I say to her, anyway? Better let her live her life in peace.

Take into account, too, that those songs became popular later in the war. If you had fought earlier in the war (65, or even before, say in an advisor type role) or you had been older, other songs would have meaning to you. Over the radio they also restricted a lot of the stuff that was played, very little psychedelic stuff and more of the songs they felt appropriate. Also the songs that had meaning to you could mean little to the next person, I’ve found that the song that means most to me from Vietnam war no one knows it — it’s a rare county number from 1963. It means a lot to me because I have a memory of sitting with my men in a bar with two guys who were KIA in the same incident. One of them had been singing that song with a guitar. The lyrics of the song were altered slightly to reflect where we were at that time.

A final thing to take into account is your background. Southerners would have listened to more country, city kids the more up and coming stuff, soul brothers to the big soul hits and blues. Race and age also had a big influence on what music meant the most to you during the war.
 
Re: No Milk Today-there is another thread re: Music that 'triggers' or something like that. No Milk Today is on that thread. A few people including myself reference that song. I can't say I remember it from a past life because it's from my current lifetime. But it does evoke past life feelings.
 
Update: I shared on here awhile ago about my memories of a past life where I was an F4 Phantom pilot and was shot down. A couple weeks ago I had a dream and recalled some more of that past life. I VERY clearly remember being best buddies with one of the operators of the base radio station. I have a feeling that I knew him from high school back in the States. I was sitting on a crate of equipment smoking a cigarette and talking to him. Mid 20s, short black hair, white, baby face. Funnily enough I even clearly remember the sight of a leather shoulder holster with a 1911 in it hanging off a wall of bulky radio equipment. I also have a gut feeling that it was the Da Nang airbase. Also, the name Andrew rings a bell to me, but I did some research and found out there were no (familiar sounding) US air Force pilots by the name of Andrew KIA or MIA between the years of 1969-72, the time I feel that I served
 
Keep in mind that the US Navy and USMC also flew F4s and Da Nang was for a large part a Marine base
