Hi everyone,

This is my first real contributory post, having also said hello in the introductions forum.

I'm yet to have a formal past life regression session, although it is very much on the cards when I've got a bit more money. I have, however, had some experiences through meditation which have proved very interesting, and which I'd like to share with people.

I appreciate this may venture into the realms of 'famous past lives', and I'm well aware of the stigma surrounding claims of them. However, the way I look at it (albeit with the same degree of caution and scrutiny as others researching the topic) is someone has to have lived those famous lives throughout history, so although it's statistically less likely it's certainly not as impossible to find famous cases as many would believe. It's just a case of separating the fantasists from the genuine accounts.

To give a little background, I've been sitting in spiritual development circles since September last year, although have made far more rapid progress since a group of us formed our own early this year. I'd had a couple of what I believe to be past-life visions during meditation before, but nothing with any verifiable detail until more recently.

I went off into meditation this particular day and had a vision of being outside, and then in, a castle. I started asking various questions in my head and got some answers back. I was told the year was 1487 and that this was Warwick Castle I was seeing. I asked who I was in this life and the answer that came back was 'the king'. I asked my guide if he was with me in this particular life and got the reply that he was my counsel.

When I got home that afternoon, I decided to check the details online, just out of curiosity, not expecting to find anything. I put '1487' into Google and found the Wikipedia page for that year. It turns out that in 1487 a pretender to the throne, calling himself Edward, Earl of Warwick, was crowned 'King' in Dublin, Ireland and challenged Henry VII for the throne of England.

I don't think I would have had any prior knowledge of these facts, as I was never really interested in history at school. I don't know if my experience could be considered a validation as such, but it's certainly an interesting collection of 'random' meditation flashes thrown together into something that history shows actually happened.

I have had a number of other flashes of what might be past lives, probably between five and ten so far, but none with as much researchable content as this one. Really looking forward to that past life regression, whenever it finally happens. A trip to Warwick Castle is also planned for later in the year, so it'll be interesting to see if anything else emerges spontaneously whilst there.

Thank you for reading this and sorry for droning on a bit.

Hello Carl, and welcome to the Forum.


Well, we can't all be commoners and barbarians. I guess someone has to be the object admiration or infamy. In the case of Edward, Anne, Cato, Cicero and so many others, it seems that someone has to join the roster of countless aristocrats who were manipulated, trapped, imprisoned, murdered or executed.


At any rate, you are in good company, and I hope that you will enjoy involving yourself in the many threads and discussions here.
 
I loved your reading your "memory", and like that you got verifiable details. You made me curious to do some research about your past self. Being on the forum really inspires us to learn things about history that we might not otherwise.
 
Hi Conroy.


Welcome to the forum. That all sounds very interesting. Not droning on at all.


I'd be very interested to hear about your other 'flashes' BEFORE you start googling them. I think it's far better just to go with your instincts and what comes up. When it comes up you will know it's real. These things are much more vivid than just your imagination and tend to have an emotional charge attached. Don't worry about being judged. Just know your own heart. It's better at these things than the mind.


It's perfectly fine to just explore your 'flashes' first and google them later.


I look forward to hearing more when you're in the mood to share.
 
Hi everyone,


Thank you for your replies. Nice to see I'm in good company here, with regards to this sort of thing. I'll post some more of my experiences later on tonight.


They've mostly been through meditation, but I did have one experience whilst staring out of the window of a coach going to London, which led to me looking up the details of someone who just looked so familiar for some reason.
 
I've had a few other flashes of what could be past lives during meditation, like I mentioned before.


The first one I can remember was standing with a group of people huddled in a crowd, watching something happening. I couldn't really see what was going on, as there were a lot of people in front of me who were taller than me. It seemed to be twilight, with a dark orange sky and I knew this was somewhere in Africa. I don't know how, but I just knew it.


A voice then told me that the people I was crowded with were the first, which I took to mean the first generation of evolved human beings as we know them. I was then told that this is how mankind was meant to be, all living in peace as spiritual beings.


The story then unfolded that people lived in accord in a spiritual way until one selfish man broke away to create an empire for himself where he could serve his ego. He was shown wearing peacock feathers, although I think that could have been symbolic in the meditation to show the difference between him and the others. The story continued that gradually more people broke away to join his empire, rejecting the spiritual life, and others also created their own. Eventually, the balance tipped to the point where the spiritual men were in the minority, and this has continued to snowball into the selfish and materialistic society we inhabit today.


I was then told that things are now starting to turn back the other way and that this is a time of great change for mankind. The voice said that all the empires and tyrants of the world will eventually destroy each other and that mankind will move back into that spiritual ideal. The voice told me that in the past, the peace loving people just let things be and allowed the man to build his empire, trusting his judgement and trusting that he was acting with the right intentions, which was proven eventually not to be the case. This time, however, with the benefit of accumulated wisdom and our experience of the selfish, egotistical empire builders and tyrants, we'll be better equipped to stop the same mistakes happening all over again.


I asked a question about my belief that much of the goodness had disappeared from the world over the past few years. I was then told that the world has been changing and that this change is necessary to bring about the bigger change, as man moves back towards his true spirituality after a great destruction.


I felt a little drained after that one.
 
@Conroy - very interesting memories, particularly your last post. If I had been given a year (1487), a place (Warwick Castle) and the name of someone (king) during a meditation or via instinct, I too would have searched to see if there were any records validating that. If you were Edward, Earl of Warwick - as opposed to someone that was just acquainted with him, say a relative or someone who served in his household - the records here (as they are plentiful) will give you some REAL answers. Memories are a possible indication of a past life - historical records will help validate them.


Do you recall the date of your initial meditation? - that could provide you with some important additional information.


Fascinating ... thanks for sharing.
 
Wow! That's quite a vision Conroy. I've had a few of those myself over the years. It's comforting, in a way, to know that you can actually access a deeper level of 'reality' sometimes through meditation.
 
Forgive me for bumping this topic. I'm just trying to make an ongoing list of the past lives I've uncovered so far, from the earliest to the most recent.


1. Name unknown. Ancient lifetime in Africa amongst the 'first' humans as we know them today. Not able to date this. Detailed above.


2. Name unknown. Lifetime in South America (Peru). Dated to 19000 BC. Very idyllic and simple lifetime near waterfalls and wonderfully unpolluted and pure seas. Explained as one of the lifetimes I got my love of water from.


3. Name unknown. Lifetime in North America. Date unknown. A lifetime as a native American, with several of the people I know today as my spiritual friends and members of the circle I sit. Possibly a lifetime spent with my now guide too and why he appears to me as a native American. I was a calm and spiritually philosophical member of the tribe. My current circle leader was a warrior. His wife was a mother figure to us all and looked after us. Another member of our circle was there too and worked with medicines, etc.


4. Sardonicus. Lifetime in Greece. Date unknown. A strategist / leader in an army. The scene I saw of this life was our army preparing to take a city, pushing a catapault type device up a hill overlooking the city walls. We took the city, but I died in the fighting in an underground tunnel. I was stabbed. People were bemoaning the fact that I had masterminded this triumph, but now wouldn't get to see or enjoy its results. The city we were conquering was called Jarm / Jaam / Jarn.


5. Edward, Earl of Warwick. Dated to 1487. Detailed above. Watch this space, as I hope to revisit this one in a formal PLR session.


6. Name unknown. Lifetime in England. Dated to 1600s. I was a soldier who lived with my wife and young son in the countryside. My son was only young, but was going to follow in my footsteps. I immediately recognised the wife in that lifetime as my wife now. Presumably my son then was also my son now.


7. Name unknown. Lifetime in Lancashire. Dated to 1684. I was a very wealthy man, who had a lot of money but didn't understand the value of it and used it to my own ends, rather than doing what I could with it to help people. I was told that this is why I've never had a lot of money in this lifetime and others, as I need to understand the value of it more. My current lifetime is the latest step of that particular lesson, apparently. During the same meditation, I was also shown the image of being a very thin girl in tattered clothes, hiding somewhere. I feel this may have been the lifetime immediately after the rich one, to show me the stark contrast. More details about that one haven't come out yet though.


8. Name unknown. Lifetime in England. Dated to mid-late 1800s. Killed in a train crash. No more details about this life so far.


9. George Roberts / Robertson. Lifetime in Southern England (possibly Hastings). Born sometime during or just before World War 1. Died either 1945 or 1947 by falling from the sky, when a parachute didn't open, something I've always been wary of when thinking about parachuting. Possibly where my fear of heights and flying comes from also. After my father died in battle, my mother (Elizabeth?) was focused on her own grief a lot of the time and vented at us, the children. I think I may have had a sister too. To get away from the unhappiness in the house, I went and sat on the beach, watching the waves for hours at a time. I still love to do this now. This also explains why I'm comfortable with my own company now, as I was alone at times during this lifetime and had to get used to it. Another lifetime where my love of water comes into play. Always got the sense that the death was over Staffordshire somewhere.

Have you done any research yet? Wikipedia has a listing of air show accidents, you might check that and see if any of them sound like what you saw. There were also several military actions going on around the world at that time.

I've done a little bit of research, but haven't managed to find anything yet. Now that I'm researching my past lives a bit, I'm tempted to sign up for one of the ancestry / records websites. I could never justify the cost before, but if I'm going to be doing this more and more then it might be worth it.


I've looked at that list and those years only seem to have US based accidents unfortunately. Thank you for the link though.
 
It's very exciting when a member maps out a coherent time line where the lives have an order and coherence. I'm sure there will be many more discoveries. Congratulations, Conroy! :)
 
Thank you :)


I've done another past-life meditation today and found some more details from the most recent one as George Roberts. I've looked it up in the records and believe I may have a hit. I got a specific date of death in my meditation (7th March 1945) and found a record confirming that and the approximate date of birth I thought, plus the death was in Staffordshire. I will be continuing to research this one! :)
 
That's wonderful, Conroy. I like to have some confirmation of recent lives. It adds credibility in our own minds to the ones that are more difficult to validate.
 
Thank you. It's back to the drawing board with my research though. I thought I'd found a match, but there are too many details that don't add up.


The person I thought I'd got a hit with didn't live in the right area to correspond with the images of the life I saw. I know the area I'm looking for is somewhere on the south coast of England. The imagery of everything I've found is too close for it not to be. I've shifted my focus of attention from Hastings to the Hove and Brighton area now, as this seems to tie in a lot better. Wish me luck LOL
