Actually, I think they were more like Slavs, or some other European who was still at a mostly hunter gatherer stage when the Greeks drove them off or took them as slaves. It seemed to be in Eastern Mediterranean. Interesting that in this present life, my blue eyes come not through my NW European...

Interesting idea! I never thought of Celts living in such a temperate climate. I suppose if the living were relatively easy, pockets of these people might get isolated, and not keep up with technologies of others in their ethnic group (they didn’t have metal.) I should look at maps of their...

Totoro, that’s really interesting. Tho definitely NOT the Mao suit. I’m thinking it was early Nationalist period—late 1800s/early 1900s. That would make sense with the Western style horse carriage, law court, and police force. I did a little Googling. Taoism was not popular with rulers at that...

SeekerofKnowledge, Thanks! Sorry, if you’ve already answered this previously, but what is your overall take on PL memories? Are we learning lessons from our PLs? Do you find predominant themes in your array of characters?

SeekerofKnowledge, thanks for asking. The memory came long ago during a time when I was hit with one challenge after the other. I reacted to it like it was me messing up again. I’ve had a lot of structural issues and still trying to resolve some pelvic and neck issues even though hip surgery...

The second outfit looks heavy, bulky. I think it was spring or summer when I was arrested by the crowd. It was not just a mob, the local police were involved, there was a change in the political/ruling power, and there was to be some kind of trial. We were so focused on the household and...

I’m thinking it was fairly recent—as the modern era hit China in 19th or early 20th century. We wore simple, navy blue silk garments that you could move easily in. Similar to what in the West would be pajamas. I guess I was running a very disciplined Taoist household where everything was about...

During a walking meditation at a Zen retreat, I caught glimpses of a Chinese PL I was a noble woman, a widow, who ran a big house. Especially after my husband died, we (the household) lived a very strict and austere life even though I was wealthy. Servants and family, men and women, alike wore...

I was a woman with a husband and children. I’m white or lightly tanned. We have sew together skins for clothing and live By the coast or on an island. I’m running to the beach with a gnarly, hardened club to fight some men—just a few launches—that are invading us. Our men have stayed back to...

A Young Greek man who was a junior architect/construction foreman of a Roman temple (maybe to Apollo). There was a bad accident where one of the workers was killed, and had this guy been more attentive, it might have been prevented. It was basically a career buster and bad omen. However, the...

I wonder what life would look like if the past lives and their impressions no longer bore such influence on me and were no longer a big deal, not through numbness and ignorance but via awareness and spontaneous compassion to all that is. Could a person be an active player in the world, or would...

Thanks, KenJ! I posted about the soldier as part of a willingness to accept my shadow sides and the complexity of the human experience. A person can only do so much penance, and at some point needs to get back to living, doing the best one knows how...

I’m new to the forum, and it got me thinking about a glimpse from about 25 years ago of perhaps a PL. “I” and others were being celebrated as war heroes being driven in long, black, open staff cars in a massive victory parade with thousands and thousands of people cheering and waving at us. At...
