I was, there's much I remember but I must confess that it's in scattered pockets with some areas of life more revealing than others. I remember that as well - memories can be incredibly finicky and hard to navigate. What makes you suspect?
This is what I said about it on Discord:
"These are the reasons why:
- So you know how you have instinctive little biases towards certain things? So for basically as long as I've remembered, I've always kind of has this little instinctive bias *towards* him."
"- With that being said, yes I get he wasn't a perfect human being. (Nobody is actually.) However, whenever I see people say stuff like "Thomas Jefferson was a terrible person" then my first instinctive response is very negative. I mean he's kind of controversial for perfectly valid reasons but I just can't bring myself to hate him.
- Also, I was absolutely obsessed with him during 2020 as well as part of 2021."
"- I genuinely like this man but most of the time I will not admit it outright (but people who are around me long enough can kind of tell after a while). I just agree with him on so many things, and I feel like he would be one of those people that I would just want to sit down and talk with about a lot of things."
"- I got along with my 9th grade AP Human Geography teacher. My mom said that it's almost as if we clicked together instantly. She also genuinely likes Thomas Jefferson, and due to this sort of connection I really have to wonder if we knew each other back then. (She's Catholic though so I don't think I could talk to her about it.)"
"- When I visited Washington, D.C. for Independence Day last year, I immediately fell in love with that place. It was very hard for me to leave and I still think about it semi-regularly."
Some of these points I brought up on the forum a couple of months ago, but my Discord message was more in-depth since I missed some points on the forum.
I have no memories of a lifetime from this time period, and the only past life I am aware of right now has absolutely nothing to do with Thomas Jefferson.
All of the reasons I listed have nothing to do with past life memories, but rather me tracing logic. I do hope I can confirm it some day though.
Instinctive biases can be helpful in navigating finding things from times before, I think of them as breadcrumbs in a way. They are visible on your journey back, but only help if you keep searching them out. Retracing steps of reasoning is a sound method of discovery. There are perfectly valid reasons to find fault and error, as there were many made. That is the most delicate way to phrase it.
