I hear you Speedwell. I've always been strong minded so I find it very offensive when a belief in reincarnation is dismissed as a delusion.
 
Collins is my most recent life SeekerOfKnowledge, that's why I talk about him. In the same way that I talk about my old love or sociopaths. These things are very current to me because I've been traumatised by it all. Discovering reincarnation has been the most traumatic event of my life. For me there is no difference between Jim and Mick whereas with my earlier lives there are differences. Collins is the life I most relate to Jim. Understand, I only had my first past life memories four years ago. I'm still in shock from it.

You know yourself, I have another life infinitely more famous than Collins. If I wanted attention I would use that life. As it is I'm just trying to figure things out. My mind was chaotic before I found this forum. I'm exploring my past and wondering what it means for the future.

Besides, I don't like that I'm Collins or any of the others. I wish I wasnt because then I wouldn't feel so guilty...but I am so I have to confront that.
 
I know you do not want to be them. I know didn't ask to have been all these people. I also know that some others here do understand, too.
Just needed a distraction from myself and thought about others, people who mean something to me... and realized that people who do not know you might misunderstand.
For some reason, most of my own guilt and other bothersome stuff does not come from my possible last life, but from centuries ago. Strange...
Anyway, why do we remember at all, if not to be given a chance to either atone or learn?
 
Thanks SeekerOfKnowledge.

I'm just thorough in my posting the same way I'm thorough in my fighting. Most members on here can only link a few photos to a past life or whatever. I'm lucky in that if I say something I can provide many links to illustrate to others what I am talking about because its an FPL.

As I said once about another subject "Its about the accumulation and correlation of empirical data". I'm obsessed with being thorough ( Yes. Collins was also like that ). I don't believe in approaching a topic or a discussion without being well tooled up.

Also, there are instances, like my post earlier in the topic, where I find a new synchronicity with Collins. Its harder to get with my earlier lives because the media wasn't present at the time to record such things ( although they do crop up at times too ).

I don't believe reincarnation will ever be proved but if there's any hope of it its through examination of the facts and I'm a facts person. I always have been.

Yes. Atone and learn. That's what my ultimate goals are.

I wasn't famous myself, atleast not that I'm aware of, but one of my units is and I have a bridge named after my Airborne self
Pretty much everyone that studied a little WWII history knows the 101st and what they did and I often heard "I was an 101st trooper in WWII in a PL" only a few got the benefit of the doubt, most were infact around from what I picked up but some were even Germans in that life (most know by now that I don't hate the common German Soldier)
I call it the Band of Brothers effect, suddenly most want to reenact Easy Co and/or claim to be an 101st PL without providing any detail that hasn't been written about or shown on tv and that's the same thing for FPLs, most seek attention while people like you and me just try to deal with everything as best as possible
If I share ALL of my PL memories on here some people wouldn't be able to take it and I know there are others here with that same issue

So was I famous? Was I a hero? No, I was just a medic, my unit as a whole is famous within the military and the whole bridge named after Alex thing? My family still can't let go (this was proven when a familymember joined a fb group that I admin currently and wrote a post on her timeline about her grandfather's brother killed in Germany)
 
Hi CanSol.

The problem with PL memories lies in verification. I have some memories that were recorded in history such as being in the GPO in 1916. It was laughably easy to verify that my pl was there, it was even depicted in the film. Yet even then I haven't been able to verify all of the details of that memory. The building was destroyed that week and only the facade remained ( It was rebuilt in the 1920s I believe ). I remember what the building looked like from the inside but I haven't been able to find pictures or layouts of that building prior to it being destroyed so not every detail of that memory has been validated and that's recent history. It gets much harder for my earlier pls. With most of my memories I've verified that they COULD have happened like that but there is no first person perspective from my pl recorded for most of my memories. That's why, for all my thoroughness, I haven't been able to prove to anyone , beyond doubt, that I am who I claim to be.

I know of the 101st Airborne. I have Band Of Brothers on DVD. I've much respect for what those men did.

I can understand the 'Band Of Brothers effect'. There's a variation on it in my own claim. Most Irish armchair patriots I've met want to be Michael Collins or a veteran of an Irish war. They see glamour in being a SUPER patriot. My own best friend sees Collins as some kind of action hero and can't reconcile that erroneous view of him with the man I am.

Like you I don't share all of my pl memories. I've never created a thread specifically describing them, I've simply described some of them to members in topics. Maybe that's because I'm more interested in resolution and exploration than in delving too deeply into them. They were what they were after all. I prefer to discuss the impact of reincarnation on me anyway.

I was famous in Ireland but that kind of bugs me. I wasn't the only one involved in those times. Even Emmet Dalton wasn't in the Collins film and that bugs me. He was unnecessary to my 'heroic' story yet he wasn't unnecessary to me. It annoys me that a lot of people will watch that film as being factual yet not be aware of the real men involved.


I wasn't a hero either. I was just a man enduring and overcoming just like the men of the 101st.
 
The 101st didn't do airstrikes, no idea who told you that, we just jumped from planes, the Air Forces of different countries did that, we were Army and couldn't order airstrikes if we wanted too
 
The US Army Air Force and they hit us too, so want to blame someone? They were responsible and it was just one of the many reasons that I now despise the USAF (they straffed me and my unit again in Afghanistan in this life) as a pretty much collective whole
 
Hi tanker.

I was working in London at the start of the year and had a conversation with an Englishman. We were saying how its amazing that some people in the Republic still hate the British after a century. I've never really took issue with the average Brit and back in the day it was just with the establishment and anyone enabling it.

My most intense feelings that I have that seem to have carried over concern the Irish civil war not the British. When I run into intractable Republicans I feel just like I did then, defending a treaty that I wasn't particularly happy with because I knew it was the best that could be got.

I feel a disgust for those who see the Free Staters as traitors because I know what a bloody, pointless thing that civil war was. They would happily start another one. I dunno, its just a reflex emotion.

I guess we're all victim to reflex emotion on here, Jim, that's what it's all about. We just have to make allowances for one another, however much people's words hurt us. I'm a peacemaker, and blaming people or hating people or bearing grudges is not productive, in my experience. Nevertheless, feelings from the past surface in me as they do in everyone here. All we can do is try not to respond in kind, and hope for the best. God bless you, brother.

Yes, CanSol, the Band of Brothers effect is one of those things ... I have the DVDs like many others, and see their heroism and what it all meant there. And I too can be moved by their pain and their success. But from the other side, those are the men who killed my own heroic band of brothers, so although I bear them no ill will now, those involuntary bitter feelings remain. The 101st was the unit that forced my friend out of his tank by way of airstrikes, and brought about his death in the Ardennes forest at the hands of your Brothers. I struggle with these feelings I don't want to have. Having said that, I'd welcome all your memories, because my way of things is to face the worst and deal with it. Believe me, when I do that I find it's better than my imaginings.

It is important not to hate the individuals. At least those who did not commit the terror bombings, the mass rapes and so on. Now, bomber pilots and bonafide bolsheviks - esepecially NKVD - those I do hate still. Common G.Is with no clue as to why they were even fighting... Not so much. Even if they destroyed my country and the future of Europe. In my view anyway.

Things would not have turned out like they did if we were to have had peace in the West instead of a brother war. The war with the Soviet Union was inevitable, but that in the west was all Churchill's and Rooseveldt's doing. At least if one knows true history and not the made-for-TV crap they pump out these days. Germany sued for peace and disarmament for years constantly. Germany did not start arming itself until 1936. We only ever did what we did to protect ethnic Germans and we took back real German territories that had been stolen shortly before. Reunifying our country. One people, one nation, one leader. Everyone but Germany broke all or several parts of the Versailles treaty long before Germany ever did. Everyone were supposed to disarm. Only Germany ever did. It was a null and void treaty, not even suitable for toilet paper. As was the alliance with Poland. But I would fight them again even if I knew war was coming. The genocide against thousands of German civilians in what is now Poland - unrightly - was not something we could just stand by and watch. I remember our fully justified fury about what they were doing to our brothers and sisters on the wrong side of an arbitrary border. We could not watch that and do nothing! When someone - anyone - starts killing your family, you do something about it. Period. Nobody kills Germans for sport and plunder on my watch. I will always opt to fight, even if I were unarmed. There is not a shred of what I did that I regret. And I will never apologize for anything that anyone did. Churchill dragged up that mothballed alliance, part of treaties they themselves were breaking, and used it an excuse to start a war of conquest against Germany for his puppet masters, the Rothschild banking family. Destroying nations is what they do. They finance most sides in modern wars. Then they buy up the ruins and finance the rebuilding with their money, making the peoples of the world fall deeper into their slavery. The sheer amount of lies, fabrications, distortions and popular misconceptions that surround the Second World War is simply tremendous. Nothing said in media about the entire period is entirely true. Some of it is partially true, but watching TV really makes me mad. We were not the bad guys. One day, the world will know that. I think it is deeply offensive that people still think that after all this time.

With that said, there were bad eggs and bad acts on all sides of that war, as there is in any conflict. But when compared to even the Americans or the Brits, we were real role models. By and large, we did our best to not be monsters. Even though they firebombed our women, children and elderly. By God, that was tough. We had to constantly repeat "Forgive them, Father, they know not what they do".

Some of you still don't get it. You eat what you are served. I assume some will be angry about what I just said, because you believe in made up fairytales. I do not concern myself with that. Truth should not be something offensive, but lying is a deadly sin. It is high time for the lies to stop.

I was there and I am fully awake. I was fully privy to most all information about what was going on for a very long time. I know what was going on and not. Especially things pertaining to the Allegemeine and Waffen SS. I remember being really mad about the lies after the war, for a long time before I died. All the virulent anti-German hate - that is exactly what it is - is not right. We just wanted our country back and sovereign. Unshackled from Rothschild financial slavery. The lies all come from there. The war was fought because of them. I hope there is a hell. If there is, they should be in it. Their greed alone killed all those people on all sides. The common German, Russian, Englishman, American or Jew had nothing to gain from it. The Rothschilds had everything to gain. When we no longer wanted them to be the middle man in all trade and when we nationalized banks, the war came quickly. The crime of Germany was that we wished to trade directly with other countries. Not through any Rothschild-owned or operated bank.

There are currently three or four central banks in this world I know about that are not owned and operated by the Rothschilds. Guess which ones?

North Korea
Cuba
Syria
Possibly Iran

There used to be many more. More, the further back you go. But the list also included until recently:

Afghanistan
Iraq
Libya
Sudan...

Are you smart enough to see a pattern there? This has been ongoing since Napoleon Bonaparte nationalized their banks. This is not news. Their consolidation of power is nearly complete.

The idea here is to spread light on a real and dangerous issue. I rightly do not know why or how that would be hateful or criminal, or how I am somehow "ignorant" or "bigoted" for saying it. I am not, relatively speaking. Some say it is so, I guess. But what is true is true. Fact is fact and fiction is fiction. Truth should not be offensive. I will act accordingly to that conviction and not pander to delusions, lies and fancies.

This is sadly what Americans were fighting for and still are. Financial domination for someone else's benefit - their own slave masters - and the enslavement of the world. Currently to preserve the dollar as the oil currency. That is what all the fighting in the Middle East is really about. Also to crush the last few holdouts.

I do get that there were bands of brothers and bravery on the other side, too. I do however have a really hard time admitting the equalness of our motivations and our intention for fighting. We were fully in the right and did what we had to try and be free. The rest were enforcers of something thoroughly evil. Our brief rebellion against the New World Order was crushed with never before seen ruthlessness and propaganda. Which is the only reason anyone would get mad reading this. Reality is not what people believe.

I think that a large part of why I remember is to tell my side of it all. If I do not get to do that, I will not be particularly surprised. But it has to be said, nevertheless. Even if I just spent over an hour writing and even if it is removed without a trace in five minutes.

It is impossible to discuss the war if it has to be done on the premise that mainstream history is true. It is not. And if others who were not there are to understand us who were, there needs to be a basis of truth to use as a starting point. That is impossible with the current narrative, which is more than equal amounts of lies and (often distorted) facts.

I do see a lot of people here that I know are fakes, simply on the grounds that what they claim to have seen or experienced never actually happened. That is perhaps the most offensive thing I have said thus far. But it is also true. I think it is far worse to make up false sob stories in order to score social credit. Honor lies in telling the truth at the expense of the same, or at the price of bodily harm, imprisonment, death, imposed poverty or other forms of oppression.

In the end, truth always wins. Not least of all because we won't stay dead.

Hi Ritter,

You should save your post, it may not last. I'm not sure that I can fully comprehend, much less accept your position. It is too different from everything I have been taught over a long lifetime. However, my world view was beginning to shift on many things before the whole PL thing came in like a wrecking ball about 5 years ago. Since then, my convictions have strengthened in some areas and crumbled in others. One of the areas that has crumbled is any kind of automatic faith in what I have been told about the current world system (and how we got here) as well as what I am currently told about that and current events. Indeed, most sources of information are so misinformed or biased in one direction or another in the U.S. it is difficult to trust anything. This is very disorienting, and especially problematic in what are supposed to be enlightened democracies where wise decisions rely on a well-informed public. However, one thing has never changed through history, hence it remains one of those areas where my initial convictions have remained and become stronger over the years: the victors write the history books. Even where they acknowledge "some" mistakes, they always justify the overall need and justice in the actions they have taken. The only time you will see what they have written overturned is when they themselves are defeated (from within or without) and the new victors want to re-write history once again.

Cordially,
S&S
 
While its true that members have made claims of things that were unlikely to have happened, on examination that has come to light fairly rapidly. I haven't noticed anyone on recently making such claims however.

This thread hasn't been on topic for a while now but its produced some interesting discussion. I am dismayed at the direction it's going though. Whether the allies committed atrocities or not is beside the point. Whether the communists engaged in murder is beside the point. Whatever reasons the war was fought for doesnt matter. It doesnt excuse the Nazis from what they did. After all, two wrongs don't make a right.

How anyone can try to justify a regime that did this is beyond me:

Duly noted and done. Not that it was professional standard or anything. Quite a few things to look up, on the other hand. About the defeat of those currently in charge, to put it diplomatically... That is quite likely to happen well within this century.

To be honest, I have spent a sizable amount of man-hours writing actual history, as opposed to the mainstream drivel. Not in English, however, as it is not my native language. That writing was on a voluntary basis. The police opened up investigations for hatespeech a few times, but I had it in mind when I wrote, so I skirted the damnable law by the skin of my teeth. Done quite a lot of journalist work, paid and unpaid, besides. Mostly about other things, like culture, lifestyle, cooking and prepping (survivalism, not mise en place).

Speaking of carnivorous eating. I just ate a steak with cheddar on it. Absolute barbarism. So damned good.
 
Hi Jim,

I agree in terms of those acts and the regime that committed them, but Ritter's post is primarily directed to the question of why the war in the West got started in the first place and who were the villains in beginning this massive destructive conflagration. Atrocities that may have taken place after that, by either side, are not really the point of his post (so far as I can tell). Likewise, Ritter's post is directed to upholding the honor of the everyday German and their fighting men, the great majority of whom were not involved in any way with the atrocities you mention. It is their perspective on things that he is basically putting forth, as someone who was there.

It can be argued that, given the regime in Germany, these atrocities would have occurred even without the onset of war in the West. On this, I have no set opinion, though my opinion of the Nazi regime is very, very low indeed. So, this certainly may be true, but that cannot be determined with absolute certainty at this point. History seldom allows do-overs.

Cordially,
S&S

PS--On all points, Ritter has a very high burden of proof if he intends to overcome the current consensus, but I find his perspective on things interesting though not infallible or even necessarily convincing. As noted, I am questioning a lot of things about the world view I absorbed in my youth.
 
Ritter said the allies destroyed Germany and the future of Europe S&S. What future is he referring to? Instead of the European Union we would have a thousand year Reich.

If you want to defend Ritter that's fine but I've read enough of his posts to know what he is.
 
Ritter, the topic of Clothing seems to have been lost as the comments veered into a more political area which is unfortunate. I would like to remind you, and others, of the guidelines AND that everyone's view of history is distorted by not knowing all of the details - not even the participants, as they can only assemble the bits of detail they are privy to yet without knowledge of the vast amount of hidden detail. As an example, the decision to use nuclear weapons in WWII is still unclear as the majority of the military was opposed to it, who was in the position to make that happen? There was pressure because other nations were trying to develop the technology, could it have been avoided in any other way? From my perspective it was a good thing as it meant that my Dad would be coming home from the war.
The holding of hatred and the felt need for revenge that is held for generations is so destructive to civilizations, the Turks vs Armenians is not much different from your example of the Polish dealing with people with German heritage, something like the Hatfields vs the McCoys here in the USA that lasted more than a century. The topic will never be resolved to everyone's satisfaction, just as I stated above because there is too much that is unseen and not understood to allow ANYONE to know the entire truth. The best you can do is express your interpretation of the details that you believe to be true.
I think that it would be helpful if you took that into your heart and truly understood how you use and express your energy and opinion and become aware of its contribution to further unnecessary conflict.
 
Hi Ken,

Agree on all points. I was hoping to bring up the subject of clothing myself--as this thread is definitely off the rails at this point.

Hi Jim,

The allies definitely destroyed Germany, though I think they did a pretty good job there (as well as in Japan) in putting it back together again as a strong democracy. I likewise agree with what you have said in terms of the Thousand Year Reich vs. EU (though I'm no great believer in the latter). I will be curious to hear what Ritter says about that sometime--in another thread when the matter can appropriately be brought up. But for now, as has been pointed out by others, this thread is a long way from "clothing".

Cordially,
S&S
 
Everyone knows the Allies destroyed Germany S&S just like everyone knows Hitler took the German people right down to the bitter end.

My point is that Ritter believes the defeat of the Nazis was a tragedy for the future of Europe.

I wish someone would talk clothing.

Thank you for some sensible words, Ken. We sure need them.
 
Wow you blink and this thread turns a 360... have nothing to add on what’s been said so shall attempt to jump on topic.

Not clothing so much but when I was a kid I idiolised Captain Scarlet — if you don’t know him he was a spy who flies planes, cool cars, jet packs and he practically reincarnates in every episode. For my third birthday my mother bought me a Captain Scarlett doll and a red die cast Spectrum car. For a little girl who wanted to be a boy that was a big thing.

He retired his hard life with a bunch of lovely neglected barbie dolls and a toy Pocahontas. Not too bad a life Scarlet, you ol’ dog.

Probably because most of us don’t recall earlier lives and therefore they’d have little or no influence on clothing styles.

I recalled another thing. As a kid and adult I was obsessed with Native Americans. One of my memories I do recall is of being a Native. That life didn’t end too well but still have good memories. My mom made a Native American costume and I won first prize in fancy dress for it at school. For my 18th birthday I requested a Native American flute handmade to my specifications from a man who makes them over here who learnt from natives. It’s made out of cedar wood, in the G chord and it has animals engraved on it that have a meaning to me (deer, wolf and eagle)

According to my mom I always asked for a cowboy outfit growing up but she didn’t agree with toy guns so no game. I did however get a white cowboy hat and white boots of my choosing. Every weekend me and my family would go line dancing — my uncle who is good at dancing sometimes ran classes. I used to take my boots and hat and it was always the happiest I remember being as a kid.

I’ve lived too many lives in that portion of the world. To this day I often wear western style shirts and a Stetson style hat just to get comfortable.
 
This is related to clothes because it is a style. But not quite clothes. There is a reason this haircut has come back so strongly. It is very much subconscious in most people and some just wear it because it is popular again, obviously. But this undercut thing is definitely 1920-1945 and largely German.

Gotta love that sandals.
As landsend said, most here remember their last life strongest.
In my case, something in-between is what I remember the most. The era which correlates most with my torn-in-two feeling. From which I posted an example.
 
Hi Tanker,

I hope you dredge up some more memories from the 12th-14th centuries. The troubadour movement was strongly associated with the Albigensians (also called Cathars) who were viciously eradicated in the Albigensian Crusade. Some escaped and continued to be hunted down by the Inquisition. Few seemingly escaped the stake in the long run. (The Cathars were reincarnationists and considered heretics by the religious authorities of the day).

Anyhow, I've always been curious why more haven't showed up on the board, but it seems that most of the traumas and PTSD that breaks through the memory barrier and brings people here is fairly recent. I suppose that after 500 years or so, some of the older traumas (even though brutal) may lose most of their sting or simply be buried under the never-ending tragedies of the succeeding years.

Cordially,
S&S
 
On the topic of clothing, there is a trend that I felt I'd like to share since I was "on location" today.

I am today in Nanjing, China, and today we remember here (13th of December) the dreadful anniversary of the "Nanjing Massacre" by Japanese troops of the civilian population of Nanjing, in 1937.

There is a "trend", if I may call that, of young Chinese guys dressing up in Imperial Japanese uniforms, for various reasons, usually apolitical. Of course it always sparks HUGE outrage. I kept thinking today that a lot of these kids dressing up as "the enemy" (given how the resentment is still strong here in China) must be playing out some forgotten, unconscious memory they carry inside them.

I have had many instances here, where I meet Chinese young guys my age that have elements that remind me of my own memories of the 2nd World War in the Waffen-SS (and having been born in this life in France, in a family of Allied soldiers, either D-Day veterans or french resistants).

My Chinese best friend is fluent in Japanese (he learned it alone, self-taught, before he was 12) , always was reminded as a child at school not to "act japanese" with his body language, and now has a strong love for Japan, spending all his holidays there. We share a lot about my own past life story, and he told me the other day that he believes he was Japanese in another life, although he is yet to have clear memories.

So, you see, it's not just in the West, it seems that even here former enemies tend to come back and play out their unconscious memories by owning period outfits :D

Thanks, S&S. I don't think I'd have too much trouble getting back to all the medieval part. It's just that at the moment I choose not to, as I can only cope with one at a time, and I need to get the wartime stuff resolved better before I can go on to another. That's the part which is affecting me badly and needs to be dealt with.

I very much react to that early period, in particular the troubadour/trouvères songs, and feel that's what I did. I've played old instruments when I was younger (present life), and even made one. I've read a bit about the Cathars, but feel my main focus is on the Northern France area, with the trouvères. I tend to have some understanding of the old language, and have had strong feelings when visiting some of the country areas over there. I'll get round to it, one day. But I do feel that those memories are all happy ones, without tragedy, apart from some dalliance with a lady whose husband was not best pleased and put my life in danger!

Haha Tanker me too, I don't know if you read an earlier post I wrote about the short (but super clear!) memories I have of being a blacksmith in probably the middle age.

Those were not sad memories, at all. They were very peaceful, albeit hardworking, times. I feel that this life was a simple and very straightforward life. I sometimes get back to it, with great pleasure, as I feel that there was so much nobility and self-esteem in being a dedicated and hardworking craftsman!

Although the clothes sucked

Hahaha Oh well, while I see imagery of the middle age of people wearing colourful clothes, what I remember from this time is very rough, and very "practical" clothes (read: no stylist was seen around :D), every garment was brownish and not very comfortable.

Although around the forge it was topless, with just a very heavy piece of leather protecting my chest. Like, very very heavy and completely black piece of leather!
