Something That Happened Today

Hi, guys. I couldn't decide if I should post this story of something quite amazing (at least for me) that happened to me while I was at school today in the ''finding people from past lives'' thread, or the ''small validations'' thread, and I hope that no one minds that I ended up making a thread just to talk about the experience I had today concerning both finding someone from a past life as well as what I consider to be a small validation as far as the fact that I actually lived with this person way back then goes. If that makes any sense. And I hop that I won't sound as though I'm rambling too much, as I write this; I'm just that excited. This meant so much to me, today...But now for the actual story.

Maybe some of you have read some of my earlier posts about the flashbacks that I've had from one of my PLs in what I believe to have been Stone Age Russia; likewise, I've made a few posts before this, telling a few things about this Russian friend of mine whom I go to school with. Since the very first day I met her, I knew that I'd known her somewhere before. Our friendship quickly grew, but due to a slight language barrier, which is thankfully becoming less cumbersome as the weeks fly by, she and I had never spoken much of really personal things, such as religion and philosophy, and this and that, until starting maybe just a couple of weeks ago. And then, we seriously started talking...

I mentioned in a previous post somewhere that I believe that this friend was my mother in my PL in Stone Age Russia. She even looks very much the same, as she did in that other life. Anyway though, today Valentina came up to me during lunch and suddenly asked me if I believe in reincarnation. To which I replied that yes, I did very much believe in it. Then she said, very quickly, ''I knew from the first day I saw you that I already knew who you were.'' And throughout our lunch hour at school, as well as for a short time afterwards before our next classes began, we had a wonderful conversation about past lives, and some of the things Valentina said astounded me. It turns out that she might be remembering something of the same PL that I keep having flashbacks about, the one in which she was my mother. One thing that she mentioned was the fact that we had the exact same color of hair (which I described as ''ruddy-bronze'' in an earlier post), as we do naturally in this life. And see, that might sound very insignificant, but the thing she was saying about the color of our hair struck a big chord in me, because in an especially good flashback I had, I specifically remember thinking in that flashback about how my mother and I both had the same ruddy-bronze hair. Wow. And of course, there was a lot more to the conversation too, but this is all I have time to write about right now. I think I'd like to make a second new thread sometime later today or this week, sort of like a diary, to keep track of my flashbacks from my Stone Age past life, even if I have to copy and paste parts of some old posts in order to do it, even if people have already read them.
 
Wow, Raakel, that is exciting news.:thumbsup: I hardly consider sharing a past life memory with someone else a "small validation." She may not have put all the pieces together yet, but it looks like she's got a good head start.


Keep us posted. :cool
 
Great Raakel. How exciting...when she asked you if you believed in reincarnation you must have really paused!! I'm happy for you, please keep us posted.

Mm, I should probably point out that by ''small validation'', I meant that I thought of it more as a personal validation. Of course I don't know if everything is absolutely correct or not - but it just sort of felt like that. I'm not taking anything for granted that my friend and I said to each other today. I won't look before I leap, when discussing things about reincarnation and the possibility of shared past lives, or make any huge assumptions, if I dare to assume anything at all. But I also believe that it's possible for my soul to just know some things. So, what I called a validation back there means only that what some of the things Valentina told me today fit in surprisingly well with everything else I'd already had from flashbacks, in particular. Does that make any sense? Sorry I keep on asking that question, as to if everything I'm saying makes sense. I think I'm sort of caught in that deadly cusp poised between second-guessing myself way too much, and sounding as though I'm not second-guessing myself at all, but instead accepting everything I hear or think without mulling it over even once. If that makes any sense. Haha. q6gif
 
Congratulations Raakel, thanks for sharing :)


I'm looking forward to hearing more about your conversation with your friend, did she say if she recognized you as her past life daughter? Depending on how much you both remember, I think I would be inclined to keep a memory or two to yourself, and maybe suggest that Valentina does the same .... it would be a much greater validation for you both personally if you could both remember the same memories from that lifetime together, it's quite possible, just an idea :)


Looking forward to the updates.....and does your friend know about this forum? ;) :D

Hi, Chris. Actually, my friend doesn't speak English. She and I communicate just in Finnish and Russian. And so it would be impossible for her to use this forum, even if she did have the time to use it once in a while. I'll try to put little updates, whenever I can, without forcing our conversations about this kind of thing...Really, I don't want to get overexcited about this. Today I'm both happy and excited, but tomorrow, if we can find the time, I'll see if I can ask my friend a few more questions about what she remembers from the past life that we possibly share.
 
Caution is a good thing, but don't get too carried away second-guessing. I know I have problems with my brain getting in the way of my instincts, just to find out my instincts were right all along. :rolleyes:


Obviously you know more about the situation than I do. It sounds like she might be going off of a feeling she had rather than an actual memory. I don't know. Is she new to all this or has she believed in reincarnation all along? I think you're taking a good approach. If you come out with everything all at once, it might be too much for her. :eek: Give her a gentle nudge, ask a couple questions, and let her go at her own pace. ;)
 
My friend's not new to reincarnation at all. But yes, you're exactly right, and that's what I've been thinking of as well all along - there's no way I'm going to come on too strongly about this at all to my friend. We discussed the concept of reincarnation a little more today, but the conversation was very light and fun. No heavy or intense stuff. I'll keep the thread updated as time goes on. :)
 
I wondered too if she remembered her connection with you from the past. I look forward to hearing more updates. :thumbsup:
 
Hello Raakel.


I have to echo what Chris has said about keeping at least some recollections to yourself until the other can possibly recall the same instace within your shared past incarnation. To have that happen is a wonderful validation for both parties involved.


My girlfriend & I have done this a couple of times in regards to our last incarnations, which we were also partners in. In fact, it can be very amusing at times. To have someone else's view of the exact same event from a past life. ;)


Sincerely,


Laurasia
 
HI Raakel,


I have enjoyed reading your thread. I hope you do keep us posted. You said :

She and I communicate just in Finnish and Russian. And so it would be impossible for her to use this forum, even if she did have the time to use it once in a while.
Have you seen the International portion of the book section? There are a few Russian books listed there. ;)
 
What I find unusual about your friend is that in a stone age PL she was Russian, and now once again she is Russian. Strange that she has had so many Russian lifetimes. Another thing I found strange was that you said she looked similar in the PL. I didnt know that humans were that evolved during the Stone Age to resemble humans today.
 
I believe we are often born in the same cultures over and over again. Russia is a vast country, and having been born there in the Stone Age and now is hardly "having so many Russian lifetimes", imo. :)


I also think it's possible to see resemblance in a person during, for example, the Stone Age and now. It's often more about presence than the actual looks.
