I lived during the time period of the revolution. I actually have a strong memory of the life: was born in a rural area around Arras (weirdly important in my life later) to a third estate family of 3 girls, one son who died in infancy. My parents were somewhat progressive for the time, girls...

Maria. Weirdly, I look a lot like her at the same age. My eyes are grey, though, not blue.

On Revelation, I think to understand it, one must read the Bible and understand the prophesies it states in Old and New Testaments as well as understand history at the time before Christ and after His death. At the time, it was the problems with Rome, but we know from history we have Rome...

Pain in the backside. On Revelations, yes there is a ton of interpretations, that 17 volume set was one version of it . I have my own. I also think you have an idea (that I probably gave you) that I am utterly disinterested in religion. I have been to many churches, of all types. When I had...

On the Christian thing, I turned from it a long time ago. A preacher and his wife called me everything but my name; mostly whore of Babylon or Satan's daughter. I have been in church rarely since, never been baptized (and won't since I don't think I need to announce to the world I got wet) and...

Oh, I am quite real, and your hypothesis is correct. As to why Joseph I can take a guess. At 6, I trusted my dad more than my mom, and they were a lot alike. Both were blur collar, both raised kids not their own (my dad with my siblings), both believed heavily in loyalty. So there was a...

I rarely ever tell anyone this. When the 80s were a thing, and the time we were really under nuclear threats, I had a dream where Joseph, Jesus's father, came and held my hand whole walking a wasteland devastated by nukes. He would point out things, a flower, a dog, trees...then we turned and...

I have a birthmark and no connections I can think of to it (about 3 inches up from my elbow on the backside). I also have vitiligo, and I look like I have been burned on my hands, arms and legs for the most part. Not connected to PL there either. Sometimes, things just happen IMO.

Sewing is a means to an end for me. Let me shock you now: I don't particularly like to sew. It is my day job and all, but I like the creativity, the problem solving...but sewing is a means to an end. It is a technical skill anyone can learn, my repertoire of skills happens to include hand...

I own an alteration shop now, although I can design and do custom work and sometimes do. I have electric machines, yes, but I use treadles about as much and the machine at home is a treadle. I usually prefer to work on a treadle for sewing clothes which was the first machine I bought. I can...

Hey fireflydancing, some of it I just knew as a kid. My Dad didn't discourage me from talking to him about it, so I had an outlet and "memories" were accepted and normal. The first life I had was not a good one, and my dad would ask about other memories....so I had memories of a ship, of an...

Not as such, but I was a victim of them. I can't say I was necessarily mistreated by them...they killed my village and all that and I was taken with others, but I was a smallish child. I was not of child bearing age, so I was 8 or so. Wound up on a ship helping the rope maker while we...

Few lives I had children, most I didn't. In this life, I was rather blah about it, although I am extremely grateful for my children. I have ran into the idea that you find moksha when you are usually childless so I can see where the idea is implanted. Since I was a small child, I have told...

I have had two, although one was not "famous" until after her death and many centuries had passed. The other is so convoluted today as to who she was, what I remember and what is told is not really the same thing. Like Speedwell, it's all in a manner of looking. The second life I missed my...

You have to realize it's not you, at least not the now version.

I think it depends. I was a seamstress before, and I am in this life...but is different and the same at once. Now, I have the luxury of learning to design, to understand the creative part of it and before I was a seamstress because I was good at a needle and you worked or starved. I also had...

Sometimes I get angry at the places being in disrepair or "lost" from their former glory. Most of the time I am just incredibly curious about the changes or what happened to the people in them.

I don't look in a mirror longer then it takes me to do my hair and make up, and even then I don't pay attention to what I look like. I am not a pretty woman, and as such, I just go on with as little as possible. Generally, my features are similar and generically laid out in the same symmetry...

Shiva's Ecstasy by Anandmurti Gurumaa is my go to. As a caveat, I meditate to center myself in this current life, not to bring up past ones. Largely, I know there is more lives then I know about (there sort of has to be...at one point in my memory I have 700+ years between lives) and inklings...

God I hope not. I was downright evil in a couple, and I would hate to think that stuck with me.
