A question for everyone who saw themselves in the third person

[melon04]

I have posted before about how my past life self was still recognizable (although I only saw myself very briefly). However I was thinking about that this meant not just my appearance but also the mannerisms were the same. In a sense, I would sort of compare it to seeing a video of yourself and knowing what you look like to other people.

Now to the real question: did you feel similarly when you saw yourself from third person?

I'm not sure what you mean. I only had one actual "vision" of myself and it was first person perspective. It was under a minute and I was laying in bed and I didn't do or say anything. I just watched a person talking to me.

I've seen plenty of pictures of myself though. Most of them were portraits or I'm just standing there, watching what is going on. In most of them, I had an awareness of what was going on but they didn't give me anything in the way of knowing how I looked to other people.

I guess I don't understand your question totally. I mean, I know it's me in the photo. I can remember being there, or at least I have a sense of my feelings. I look like me, there's similarities in my features.

I didn't feel similar though. I guess it's hard to feel similar when you know you're looking at a photo of yourself.

Well obviously there are no photographs of my past life self lol. (Photography wasn't even a thing until the 1800s.)

What I was describing was when you see your past life self from an outsider's point of view. First person is when you experience being that person and third person is when you watch that person. Based on what you said, you only experienced memories from first person so therefore this question didn't apply to you.

Also I will say that it does feel kind of weird knowing what you look like to other people.

Hi, melon04:

I saw my PL me in a looking glass during a regression and I know well enough now that I was rather a brutal type in my PL, with an IQ maybe somewhat lower, I guess, than what I have now.

Any time I see images of someone similar to my PL me, I feel kind of tenderness and pity, because my PL me lived so little and died so young.

My mother in this life was a school teacher and I was taught from a very early age to be an exemplar nice boy.
I believe, I'm very diplomatic, unsure of myself and civil in this life, but sometimes I feel something brutal moving inside me, which I associate with my PL me.

Some weeks ago a man on a bicycle collided with me accidentally as I was walking on a street for pedestrians. The man of a bicycle - some 10 years younger than me, stopped and began insulting and threatening me, and as he saw I didn't want to come nearer - for fear of COVID - he interpreted it as my cowardice and became more agressive and even tried to push me with his bicycle. Then, I don't quite understand how it happened that I threw away all my fear of COVID, and dealt several strong blows with my right hand fist to the face of that man. Curiously he stopped shouting at once and only looked at me quite frightened and defenseless. I didn't say a word. After that, I took his sport bicycle and made its wheels look more like the digit '8' than the letter 'O' as before. I did it in a complete silence and I didn't feel angry at all. I only reasoned inside my head that it looked like that man was accustomed to bluff and exagerate verbally his physical strength and was right then rather unpleasantly suprised to find out that his usual favourite tactics failed to produce a desired effect on someone.

I was feeling myself another person, calm and very confident of myself. I think I was then practically my PL me, for some minutes.

I often feel a strong desire to learn what my PL me thought and felt about different things, and I feel that in many details I am like him, and this makes me feel warm deep inside my heart and a strong impulse to weep...

Regards.

This is really a good question to ask in terms of how one views or experiences a past life. As I understand it and have experienced this for myself there are usually three ways one can view a PL either by yourself or with help from someone that is a past life regression specialist person.

You can view it from either your subconscious that is tied into your lower ego and personality that you are now living in this life. Or from a past life personality, you once were. (Which in this case usually involves experiencing the past life in first person and being in an active role in the viewing process.) Or in third person which would actually come from the soul body itself. Which is the real you as soul. The advantage of viewing in third person is you are allowed to witness and remember the events as they unfold without getting into the emotional and mental states and relive them as you are detached from it. This allows one to remember why you went thru those experiences that were learned or not learned and how they might affect the present lifetime being lived out now.

Viewing it from our old past life personality can be overwhelming for some as all those emotions and mental states come flooding back and you re-live them which can be either pleasant or painful depending upon the memory. This is a more highly energy charged experiences. This (can) bring back old wounds and hurts to the surface in the present. How the person deals with this after the viewing depending upon the individual soul and its ability to handle that kind of information.

Thanks for posting this.

The only times I had memories from the third person was first thing when I actually got to seeing that past life (not exactly a past life memory, it was more like time traveling to the town where I was and then seeing a reflection/video of my past life self). And then the other time was when I saw myself die. It panned out and I would compare it to a camera that was panning out in a movie.

But everything else in between was experienced from first person. Which meant that I was recalling these things directly. All of the memories I was experiencing were very intense, although some thing were blurry (but to be fair it was ~400 years ago).

Most of my memories are first person, but I did have an unexpected flash of my Indian past life where I was a spice trader. Current me had gotten some turmeric tea and the second I took a sip, I saw myself as an Indian man sitting on an oriental style rug surrounded by spice jars. I just knew he was me a few hundred years ago.

Truthfully, out of all my past lives, that's probably the only one I'd do over again if I could, save for the untimely death of course. Uninhibited traveling sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me.

Well, not quite so.

The bodies, the genetic backgrounds we have now are different from what we had then. We are ALMOST the same, except this small detail.
Maybe it could be enough to consider us now and us then as different personalities. Very similar, but still different.
Like two twin brothers, maybe; though twin brothers have exactly the same set of genes, i.e., they are closer to each other than me now and me then.

I often ask myself what would my PL me do in a particular situation, as if I were asking him an advice in something where he was stronger and smarter than me now. Kind of an elder brother.

Very best.

He looked nothing like me. I'm not Indian or any kind of South Asian, or a male for that matter. Although we have different eyes, the essence behind them was very distinctly mine. I could see through the lens, so to speak. One of my past lives had about the same coloring as me, but that's about as similar as the appearances have gone.

I'd like to think I can guess what he would do in certain situations. Avoidance seems to be a favorite tactic of ours.

I have had glimpses of various past lives and none of them looked like me in this life. Some were male, some were female. I could see the person, but knew it was me. The one that I did with an actual regressionist I could see from my perspective, but never got a good feel for what I looked like in that life.
