Yeah, here's a link referencing an artist (Esref Armagan) who was born blind. It seems to me almost unimaginable for someone to be able to paint like that without somehow having the concept of vision, and reincarnation certainly would account for having that concept, wouldn't it?
"Has anyone ever visited a location that had a really bad feeling for them?"
I'm sure this has nothing to do with a past life, but when I visited the AIDS memorial at San Francisco's Golden Gate park, I felt physically overcome with grief, and I don't personally know anyone who ever died of...
Wow, this is a great thread.
For me, the answer is absolutely. Though I don't remember probably everything that I'd "like" to (maybe I really wouldn't like to, and my higher self knows better when and if to release this information). For example, much like hoping4change, I've always had a...
I've always loved the sound of church bells, plus the sound of horses clopping on cobblestone. I always get the feeling that I'm in a civilized place, and things are as they should be.
@BriarRose: I'm pretty positive that I was a sea captain at the time of the American revolution, and my business was taking other ships, which provided more than enough capital to buy good boots! :laugh: I believe the feet in rags memory comes from the life before that, when I fought for Bonnie...
Yes, in my case I think that is so. One past life memory I do have is slogging thru wet snow with nothing but wrapped up feet. I believe I was a mercenary in that lifetime, and we were marching to battle. I also remember feeling absolutely miserable.
I've always loved wearing hats from many different eras, but my favorite was a plaid, Scottish-looking cap I bought in Paris when I was a teenager. I know from photos that I was wearing it when I had a "deja-vu" experience at Versailles. I subsequently wore it on travels all throughout Europe...
One definite memory I have was brought to light when I visited the palace of Versailles (in this life, I was 17). You have *got* to visit. I think the only time I've ever actually gasped at the sheer opulence of a place was when I first saw the hall of mirrors. But then I saw the palace...
In waking life I once saw myself as someone (I assume) I was in a past life while looking through a mirror. This person was, unlike myself, male, with sharper features and shoulder length brown hair, wearing a cream-colored natural fiber (you know I actually typed that last as "cream coloured...
I remember hearing science fiction writer Ray Bradbury talk about his encounter with magician "Mr. Electrico" as a child. Here's something from his obiturary:
Here's another video of an amazing prodigy: ask your skeptic friends who don't believe in reincarnation how it's possible for a cute little 4-year-old to play piano
Music was the original trigger for me remembering bits of past lives as an adolescent. My favorite radio show was Thistle and Shamrock (which I still believe is on the air!). It featured Celtic folk music, and during one song I just saw this post in the middle of a Celtic-looking village...
Not a pirate ...
but I honestly wouldn't be surprised to find out that I was Admiral Sir William Penn, who spent a lot of time around Jamaica and Hispaniola. I don't remember that period of time, but I do remember attending (my own) big to-do funeral in the exact same place where he was...
