Be glad you've never seen those accursed Bigo Live ads, they kept popping up everywhere a couple of years ago. 30 unskippable seconds requiring eye bleach afterwards. But yes I think youtube would work, but there's the question of who would make the videos. I think "bite sized" videos, maybe 5...

Perhaps it's like remembering past lives. Some people can remember consciously, some people need to be regressed, and some don't remember at all/didn't have any. It would make sense if choosing parents followed the same concept, methinks. Here are some stories of mine. I remember choosing my...

Hello Melodyanne! Welcome to the forum. It's nice to hear your story. I drowned in a past life too and also have a fear of water. I don't recall the sting of water but do remember seeing the water close over my head (I was caught in a river undercurrent) and breathing in a lot of water...

I got to the fourth page of the intro, where it says: Hoo boy, this is where it gets personal. Strap in for a rant. Conrad was brave and chivalrous, yes, but "friendly" is a bit of a stretch. "Friendly to those who had his trust" is a better way to put it. He was a reserved man, naturally...

It seems the German part of the 2nd Crusade is rather lacking in terms of unbiased historical sources (no thanks to Byzantine and French propaganda), and modern books about it are few and far between (I had to call up my university to buy a copy for me). For this reason, I shall share my...

Thanks for sharing, it gave me a lot of nostalgia for some reason. My class had a trip to Rome and Pompeii a few years ago but unfortunately I couldn't attend due to lack of funds.... one day I want to go there though! The author Robert Harris writes historical fictions (e.g. the series about...

Hi all! I am looking for fellow crusaders and/or residents of the Holy Roman Empire. Lately I have been remembering fragments of what I think are the 2nd, 3rd and 6th crusades across two lifetimes, and want to see if anyone remembers also. The Second Crusade is the one I recall the most...

Yeah, in some of my further back memories, older than a few days, I start to forget what words I used. In what Tinnos called But one time I was able to recall a German poem I composed in a past life and what words I used Just the once, so it's more the exception than the rule. Now that I think...

To be honest, I don't really care myself either. I just thought it was curious that I have a strange accent and tried to come up with an explanation. I must also clarify that I'm not trying to brag, merely to find out why. (mostly because I've been teased for the way I talk since childhood). I...

I do more of the latter, but occasionally when I think about what I was doing in X year, I can remember. It's like saying what did I do in 2016, except much harder to remember. So I tend to do what you say, or rely on a memory sequence. Say I spontaneously remember an event and am able to verify...

Today I realised why I'm having trouble remembering older past lives, it's because I'm thinking in the wrong language. With my 20th century lives, I could think "hmm, what did I do in 1970" or "what did I do in Hamburg?" and be able to remember what I did. However when I tried the same trick...

Apologies, I thought your question was rhetorical. Here's what I personally think. The difference between dreams and real life is the consistence. In a dream, things can change partway through, like opening a door in your dream house but instead of leading to the living room it now leads to a...

That makes sense. A few of my past lives must have known Latin. I can read it decently, but I've been learning that language since age 11 so it's hard to judge what part of my current knowledge of Latin is due to past memories vs current life. I think one of my past lives (19th century Britain)...

I decided to try and read what I wrote in the manuscript, and after I figured out how to read my own handwriting, I realised I can actually understand most of it! despite being written in Middle Low German. (to be honest I am worried about my mental sanity but perhaps xenoglossy can work for...

I found some examples of my handwriting! Although it's not a carbon copy, there are a lot of similarities. Left is my current handwriting, a random wikipedia page I had open. On the right is 20th, 19th, 13th century. 17th century 800 years ago vs now. Two of my past lives were scribes in...
