My own answers:
1. Who and what?
Maby my name was Thomas; I was merchant's youngest song and later a Catholic monk.
2. Where and when?
In England around 1400, I think.
3. Why was this your favorite?
I had a change to meet and love (in spiritual way) a strange woman, who happens to be my spiritual guide (now). We used to meet in a forest, and those memories about her and the beuautifull trees of England are a nectar to my soul.
4. The most important lesson in that life?
There is life after death. The spirit is real. Religions don't own God.
I imagine that was kind of a treshold life. Before that life I was just a creedy, selfish human being living ordinary life in materialistic way. After my life with my spiritual guide everything has changed. There goes no day in my (this) life that I don't think about spiritual evolving and try to do atleast something to make it faster.
When my loved one was burned at a stake as a heathen or something like that it was such a shock that I didn't forget it even in death. I think that has helped me to remember my past life (and lives) in this life now!
5. Anything you like to mention...
The BEST life I have ever had is NOW.

My favorite life is my present life. And in my next life, that will be my favorite life. Why? Because I'm making progress. I'm getting closer to the ultimate universal truth with each new incarnation. I'm learning new lessons and developing more understanding, deeper compassion, and greater wisdom.
Every life gets better. Not because I get richer or more famous or happier or more comfortable, but because I get closer to truth.
Elizibeth Kubler-Ross told Pierre Jovanovic in an interview (reported in "An Inquiry into the Existence of Guardian Angels"):
"One of my guides told me that if he were reincarnated, it would be as an infant dying of hunger. And I asked him why he wanted to do such a stupid thing. He replied that it was to enlarge his sense of compassion."
Only the strongest, most advanced souls would choose such a difficult, but profitable course to take. I hope to become stronger and more advanced with each passing life until I, too, am strong enough to take such a "tragic" incarnation. Then THAT incarnation will be my favorite life, because from that life I will learn the deepest lessons that life has to teach.

Yes, today I am back w/my twin flame, and much healing for both of us has taken place from having experienced that past life together and remembering.

For me this lifetime is all about LOVE......... the healing power of LOVE

1. Who and what?
My favorite PL was my great grandmother
2. Where and when?
PA, young lady in the 1880's.
3. Why was this your favorite?
She experienced a major event that has fascinated me all my life, and she was loved by many men, both rich and poor. She chose to marry a poor man .. as opposed to the richest men of Pittsburgh ... and helped to raise his children. My grandmother was their natural child together.
4. The most important lesson in that life?
I am still working to figure that all out.
5. Anything you like to mention
I actually went to the place where she saw the rich men, and the feelings were so overwhelming I literally ran out of the building. At the same time, my daughter and my niece were running ahead, describing what would be around each corner ... in a building that had been closed to the public long before they were born.

Nobutada
Daimyo of Mito
There's really 2 that apply here, so I'll do both
1. Who and what?
Nakajima Nobutada, a young, idealistic direct retainer to the shogun.
2. Where and when?
Japan, ca. Feb. 1844-July 12, 1868.
3. Why was this your favorite?
Because I met/fought alongside many of the people I'm studying as a professional historian (in training) now. Also because I spent it with my soulmate, whom I married despite the objections of my family.
4. The most important lesson in that life?
That loyalty is paramount, and that when a cause is truly worth dying for, then by all means...
5. Anything you like to mention...
I don't want to get gunned down in a battle ever again...
AND
1. Who and what?
Kimura Sadao (or Kazuo, not really sure), Imperial Japanese Navy fighter pilot.
2. Where and when?
Started out in Sendai (northern Japan), spent my career in the Navy up to my death in 1945 in Tokyo.
3. Why was this your favorite?
Because of the fact that it was essentially nothing but warm fuzzy romantic memories (despite all the horrible stuff going on in Japan and in the world) up till 1942. Once again, I married my soulmate, but this time it was an arranged marriage. I love how even after the war got really bad, she had this childlike innocence about her and had a smile that always warmed my heart.
4. The most important lesson in that life?
I committed ritual suicide at the end of the war-- and I know now that to break the cycle I seem trapped in of always dying in war, I must live, at least for the sake of my soulmate, instead of dying for her.
5. Anything you like to mention...
The squid on a stick in one of the stalls in Asakusa Temple was AMAZING back then...

Which is your favourite past life?
Hi Everyone!
I have been thinking a lot about which one of my past lives was my absolute favourite, and why. I can't narrow it down to only one! I'd have to say that one of them was the life I lived in Ireland as Sarah, during the 1640's. I lived with my parents & my brother. It's the simple, sweet memories make me miss this life...like walking barefoot in the grass after the rain on a summer's day, picking wildflowers in the fields to decorate the old wooden table in the tiny cottage, curling up in front of the warm fire in my mother's lap while she sang songs to us, trying to sit still while she brushed my hair and made me pretty for church on Sundays, working together in the garden, preparing meals together in the tiny kitchen, visiting neighbours and playing for endless hours by a beautiful river...these are just some of the memories that make this one of my favourite lives.
I also miss my life in Italy when my name was Nicola -- I had a close knit family and a lovely home with a great childhood. I was especially close with my sister Lera, whom I shared a room with. She was five years older than I was. My brother Luca was 3 years older, but never minded me tagging along to climb trees with him and his buddies, even if I was a pest.
I have had other great lives, of course, but for now these two are my favourites.
What about all of you? Which of your past lives was your favourite, and why?

Wow I really enjoyed reading over everyone’s lives, reading others past lives is so interesting.
Well I only know about 1 life, and wouldn’t say it was my favorite. My current life would probably be my favorite, or the life I KNOW I had during the 60's but i have no facts or information on that life, Other than my extreme love of the time.
1. Who and what?
I was a woman who was raised by a single mom, and grandparents for a short time. I/she had big dreams for her future, and tried to pursue them, but easily gave up, and succumbed to depression.
2. Where and when?
Ohio from 1909-1926 (recently found out it was Ohio where I grew up). Then 1926-1947 I lived in a city, most likely Pittsburgh PA.
3. Why was this your favorite?
Well It’s the only life I know a whole lot about, and there are many aspects of the life that I feel nostalgic about. More for my life pre mid 1930's. after the 1930's I slowly went down a slope of self destruction from booze and pills, and an abusive husband.
4. The most important lesson in that life?
I think to follow my dreams no matter what, and don’t blame my inability to pursue a dream on anyone or any life event. Not to be afraid to go after i want, because this time i have every advantage i could need, and i need to let go of my fear of failure. Also to be a better parent, i feel i will mend old wounds that i caused with my daughter in my past life, in my present life. Also that a woman does NOT need a man to feel safe, secure, or loved. A woman should not settle, she deserves the best, and no man should ever think of laying his hand on a woman, unless he wants knocked out.
5. Anything you like to mention...
Overall, the life was fairly drab, and boring. The end of that life left me with a lot of pain, and issues i will have to work out through probably a few more lives. I hope to overcome some of it in this life. I still have an addictive personality, although this time its on fast food, or candy, or something a lot safer than drugs or alcohol.
Well since I talked mostly about the not so good aspects of that life, I want to share some happen moments. From my childhood, living in the little country town, going to the creek to play, hanging out a Deshler’s drugstore. From my teen to young adult days of partying, and friends, and boys, that extremely carefree time of the mid to late 20’s that I enjoyed thoroughly. Sure I probably wasn’t a very morale girl, but I enjoyed that time in my life. Coming to accept my daughter, and give her all the love she deserved from day one, or the little things that would make me smile. Like her taking my real china, and tea set outside to play with. Or just a rainy day sitting up at my bedroom window watching the cars splash through the puddles, and opening the window just a crack to let the fresh scent of rain, and city fill my nose. Ah. There were good moments.

Thinking about the question I can't say that I have a favourite pastlife. Some lives were better than others but from the lives that I have memories of I have a combination of good and bad memories in each one of them. I would have to say that I have some favourite memories but not all from the same life time.

Who and what? I was male – a simple farmer. I felt I was about 50 years old.
Where and when? Somewhere in England or Europe – time unknown.
Why was this a favorite?
This life taught me joy in simple living. I saw myself at harvest time. I put my hands down into the soil. My hands were thick and calloused. The soil was rich and fertile – a dark brown – and it smelled good. The harvest had been abundant. My family would not want for anything in the days ahead. I was walking toward the house – a simple wooden house with a thatched roof. It was evening and I had worked in the fields all day putting up the last of the grain for our livestock. The sky had a soft yellow glow. The air smelled fresh and clean. There was a large tree by the door with a swing fashioned of rope which I had twined myself. I went into the house and it took me a while to see because it was dark inside. There was a lady sitting by the fireplace. She turned and smiled at me. She was in a chair I had made. She was sewing something by hand. The floor was bare dirt swept clean. The handcrafted broom was in the corner. There was love in that house – and contentment.
The most important lesson in that life? Joy and happiness in simplicity, the pride of good craftsmanship and good gardening ability, and the ability to live independently.
Anything else you’d like to mention? The personality of the lady feels like my present husband. I feel that more than once we have switched sexes. This vision came to me at a time when I was feeling like I needed more material things than I had. It was a reminder to me that happiness lies in contentment. This was a good life well lived.

Hi Taylor,
What a lovely, warm feeling your memory gave me. Thank you so much for sharing! I think the lessons you mentioned learning are so important -- especially "joy and happiness in simplicity" and I think it's really interesting that the memory came to you at a time you felt you needed to learn the lesson.
Amazing how those little "reminders" pop up.

1. Who and what? I'm 99.99 percent certain that in the lifetime before this I was a pilot. One past life dream has me flying a dive bomber in WWII. We swoop down and are bombing something near or on a building, a brown stucco building with a red tile roof. We were laughing. In my childhood, my most common recurring dream was circling an island harbor in a plane. My wife was petite, a brunette, and very young. In the life before that I was a woman, and living an unhappy life. I had been on the Titanic, but rescued in a lifeboat, and died a couple of years later from a breathing disease (pneumonia?) I've also been a soldier in lives before that-Civil War, Revolutionary War, Knight, and marched in Roman armies.
2. Where and when?
A) WWII Pilot-Pacific theater
B) Woman-Victorian era
C) Civil War Soldier
3. Why was this your favorite?
As a warrior in past lives, I seemed to do well with women
4. The most important lesson in that life?
In the life before this, I was a pilot. I must have been a real #@$# because I've had to overcome all kinds of obstacles in this life.
5. Anything you like to mention...
I've had natural predispositions in my life. I'm a natural at firefighting, and I feel at home in a cockpit, although I've never had a flying lesson. I've also been a leader all my life.

Mine are:
1. Who and what? A Native American female, actually I believe I led at least two such lives, probably Cherokee.
2. Where and when? Before white men settled (yes, I'm mostly white in this life
), in what is now the midwestern US.
3. Why was this your favorite? My memories of these lives are more clear than others I have had, and I feel they relate more to my current life.
4. The most important lesson in that life? Something I've carried with me is a love of nature and wanting to live within it. I also believe I was a midwife then, or had a strong interest in childbirth and motherhood that I have carried with me.
5. Anything you like to mention... Sometimes I find myself thinking that life was better in another time, and longing for it. However, I don't believe there is an "ideal" lifetime (especially when I consider how I died - it wasn't pretty). Each life brings new experiences, both good and bad, and the present is where I really need to put my energy - living in the here and now.
