Is this a past life memory?

Don't forget to keep us updated too though while you are writing in your notebook! I'm still curious about what's in the box! :)
 
An update since my last post. Once again most attempts have resulted in just a few glimpses and while I have recorded them, I will wait to post them until they make more sense. Tonight however, as i meditated, I had an interesting experience. I was back in the same body that I have mentioned before. I asked myself to look in the mirror and as I did, it was a strange feeling. It was almost as if the me of that life was aware that I, in the present, was watching him. I would say that this time I was in my late 20s or early 30s. My hair was parted in the middle and I was clean shaven. I had on a bow tie, and a dark brown blazer. Once again I had the straw hat, this time in my hand. I looked at the hat and spent a large amount of time examining it. I looked inside it, and saw the label. It had two sticks or poles making an 'X' but with the crossing point close to the bottom (i.e. the place the two sticks met was not in the center but close to the bottom of the 'X'. There were also words - in an arch across the top and centered at the bottom. I tried to make them out, but could not. The emphasis on the hat was very intense, as if the me in the past was saying this is important.


Additionally in the room with me, but paying me no attention, was a an older woman going about her business. She had a dress with a design around the collar and neck, made of small beads. Her hair was grey and was put up not in a bun, but in a manner that it was almost like a hat symeterically over her head. (I don´t think that makes since, but I do not know how to describe it.) I did draw it, and tomorrow I will look it up to see if that style has a name.


Anyway, I wanted to keep everyone posted and also to thank them for all of the help they have provided.
 
Thanks for the update - interesting details there. :thumbsup:


Let us know if you can find information on the hair style!

Hello Alex,


I am truly glad that meditation is working so well for you (in fact I'm a bit envious... : angel :D ) - you have been getting wonderful results!


The details you posted are very interesting indeed. The label design could be researched - I am guessing you would recognize it if you saw it.. !


Keep us posted! ;)
 
An update on my regressions. Since my last update to this thread, I have discovered a couple of new bits of information, that I thought I'd post. Last night I found myself flooded with emotions as I regressed. I was back in the same body from the prior posts. I was in my mid to late 20's. I asked the year and was directed to a calendar saying 1928. It was a hot Summer day and I was dressed in light pants, a white shirt, bow tie, and suspenders. (No hat) I was in the garden of the same house where in an earlier regression I was in the red room with the box. I don't know how I know that it was the same house, I just do. I could even since where that room was, although I didn't revisit it. The garden was of a medium size. The house was to one side. There was a tile terrace adjoining the house., then a patch of green grass followed by a tall hedge of bushes or closely placed trees that enclosed the space. While I could not see beyond the garden, I got the strong impression that the house was on a farm and that on the other side of the trees was a grain silo.


There was a party going on - it could have been a family get-together or something. I was in the garden, with about 10 other men. Some were sitting, but most were standing, smoking, drinking. If there were women at this party, they were elsewhere, as I saw no women. Two of the men caught my attention. One was man in his mid to late 30s who was loudly talking and commanding the attention of the others. I got the impression that he was a brother or uncle. I also got the feeling that I didn't like him very much. The second man was about my age. I know he and I were very close and romantically involved. I got the feeling that I had done something to hurt him. He was quite sad and his sadness enveloped me. He seemed to be imploring me to do or say something. The next part is a little unclear. I heard the name "Rafi" or "Rafa." While I think that it was him calling me, it was a little unclear. It could have been me calling him. "Rafi" and "Rafa" are nicknames for Rafael. In a prior regression I had thought I was called Miguel and that I was from San Rafael. Those two names came to me at about the same time. Now I wonder if I misinterpreted them and that I was Rafael. It is also possible that he is Rafael and that I am Miguel. All of this is a bit confusing. Throughout this process I got the sense that something bad had happened or was about to happen.

Hola Alexnovo!


When I was reading your post about Saavedra, it cames to my mind the date 1810. It was when Argentina became independiente form Spain, and one of the councils of the board (Primera Junta) that proclaimed the independece was Cornelio Saavedra.


I have the feeling that you have more than one past life in Argentina!


AS I was born in Argentina, I had never felt at home there. So I'm glad you found your "place".
 
What an amazing story ,your intuition is the best guide you have to the answers.I know exactly how you feel I felt that way about Eastern Europe - Hungary specifically. It was always impossible to explain the attachment,I also felt that need to go there and even seeing photos nothing appears 'foreign' at all.


Maybe you could go over your earliest affections for the area ,certain things you liked - like the food or music and see what it brings up emotionally.Even while you are there see what you are most drawn too and draw from it.


I recall seeing a certain type of wooden church in a magazine spread as a teen and feeling overcome like a flood of memories.I saw years later that those churches were dominant in rural romania and hungary.Same thing as a child insisting on wearing floral aprons constantly and that is the done thing in peasant rural parts of romania.Also like you getting into an argument with a friend abt hungary and knowing things that you cant remember learning about.

I am new to this forum and wish to share a personal story and perhaps get reaction and/or advise. I am in my mid 40s, born and raised in the U.S. My family is all of English background but since I was a small boy I was fascinated with Argentina. I even remember in 3rd grade or 4th grade when we were assigned to do a presentation about another country, I did mine on Argentina (I was the only student who chose a Latin American country.) I have read other post written by people about feeling homesick for a place they had never been and those post are very similar to my experience. While I will not say that I thought about Argentina constantly.

I want to apologize for taking so long to get back and post responses to comments on this thread. I have been on vacation and did not have sufficient time to compose thoughtful responses. I will say that in addition to giving me some needed relaxation, my trip gave me some valuable insight into my prior life here in Argentina. I went to Mendoza, a city in the west of the country at the foot of the Andes. I have previously talked about my feeling about Buenos Aires (a sense of knowing the city as I was first exploring it) and this feeling was even stronger in the city of Mendoza and the surrounding countryside. For many years, I have a series of reoccurring dreams set in a place where I and the others inhabitants are obsessed with planting trees to protect us from the wind and to create almost a new microenvironment. I had never connected these dreams to my past life here in Argentina, until I went to Mendoza. The city is in a high desert, but over the years, the people have planting literally millions of trees, and feed them through a series of open water irrigation channels (a technique I now know was learned by the Spaniards from the Native Americans in the region. The result is a city that is literally almost forest like. It was amazing. Every comer I turned while there, gave me a feeling of being home and at peace. I was also, without a map, able to know where plazas and other sites were. It was truly amazing. I do not yet know exactly how to explain it, but I am certain that at least a major part of my prior life here in Argentina was spent in Mendoza.


Lizzi – as to Saavedra (after the whole incident I described in the first post, I did do some research and read about the Saaverdra from the Primera Junta (indeed that was Carlos Saavedra’s great grand father). As to whether I have had more than one prior life here, I do not know. Something to explore.
 
Since my last update, I have had a number of memories restored from this life. First, while there was some confusion in some prior regressions I am now clear that my name was Rafael, but that I was called Rafa by some friends and Rafi by others. My most recent mediations have taken me back to the red room with the box, that I had mentioned in a prior post. This time some more details became clear. I remember being in the room, once again the room had a reddish glow to it, but this time I was able to realize that the glow came mostly from the way the sun entered the room and bounced off the dark reddish brown wood of the rooms paneling and furniture. I saw my reflection in the window once again and was the same man, with parted hair and a mustache that I have described before. I would place my age between 30 and 35. The room was a study or sort of home office where I kept my papers and other things. On the desk I could see an open diary or agenda. It was open so that two dates, on opposite pages were visible. They were 18 and 19 Diciembre 1934 (the diary was definitely in Spanish). Next to the agenda was the box I had seen in a prior regression. It was closed. I tried many times in my conscious mind to will my old self to open the box. It didn´t happen. However, a woman whom I recognized as my mother entered the room. I say I recognized her as my mother because I just knew that is who she was, if that makes any sense. Anyway she entered the room and I became very agitated and upset. I don’t know why, but I didn’t want her there or I didn’t want to see her at that time. I do not know. After she entered the room, I remember becoming very upset and then everything in the mediation just stopped. It went no further. I have tried several times to go back to this point and on several occasions I have had memories of the same things I mentioned above but can never beyond this point.


I don’t know if such blocks are common or not. Any suggestions as to how to move on?
 
HI Alexnovo,


You are getting there.. I know that feeling of knowing there is more to remember but not wanting to / be able to go there. ..


When I feel stuck I like to pretend there is someone I really trust in the room with me .. even an imaginary freind who is with me guiding me with a good sense and knowledge of how to lead me.


I also like to use body-mind relaxation therapy.. Guiding myself to imagine myself fully balanced and relaxed at the same time of being unafraid to get close to those who I feel close to.


Sometimes it is good to forget it for awhile . Something may clear in normal daily living which will unlayer the pattern a bit more , so the next time it is easier to approach the memory. It is important to be dealing with the things that we felt/ feel in this life's experiences as well. And how can we experience that but to meet and be with those people who can help us uncover things just with their presence..


Good luck.. soulfreindly
 
Thanks Soulfriendly: I know what you mean by just putting it to the side and waiting. It seems very strange. As until recently I had not gone back to that room and really wasn't trying to force it. Then my memories went there again but only took me so far. I have a feeling that for some reason this is an important part of that prior life. So I get a little impatient, I guess I just need to relax and then come back with some new techniques. I like the idea of having an imaginary friend there with me. I'll see if I can make that work.
 
HI Alexnovo


I too was very impatient with my twin karam memories. I knew that it was affecting my health as I could see a direct link to the fear I had in using my right leg and right arm. But wanting it is sometimes does not mean you can heal it. It took me to remeet one of those twins in this life and the help of freinds to be able to unblock it more. In regression I was always getting stuck..THe regression work was an essential part of my healing but not all that was necessary.


Good luck..

"Such blocks" = the agenda? If so, sure, they are very common, they`re called "Tacos", nowadays they have quotes on the bottom of each day and also the saint of the day.


(PS: i know that you live here, but if i can help in anything just tell me!)
 
Well, he talked about an agenda, and those agendas are like blocks actually, but i wasn`t sure if with his question "are those blocks common?" he was referring to that or to something else i didn`t understand. So if he was referring to the agenda, then yes, they`re common. :)
 
Hi Alex,


You said the memory stopped at a moment you felt upset in your past life. A strong emotion. I guess you were so emotional that, even in the memory, you were so taken by that emotion, that you couldn't actually 'see' or notice the next moments of that scene, not in the past (your real life then) and not in the present (your memory).


Maybe when you try to remember it again,you can try to 'skip' part of the scene to the part where you are not upset anymore, and see what happened then. I think it is possible that when you know the end of the scene, it might get easier to fill in the gap later.


Or you might try to switch to a 'third person view' - try to 'watch' the scene instead of reliving it.


Good luck and keep us updated !

Hi alex! I havent read ther whole thread, i justr overlooked. Sorry about that, ill read it more thoroughly (spelling? lol) later. In fact, your post was one of the first that i read when i came to the forum, a year ago, and searched for south americans or south american PLs here on the forum.


Im just posting to let you know im Uruguayan, which means i live next to argentina. So im quite familiar with the cities and places around here, though that doesnt mean i know them in detail, but maybe its easier for me to locate places, people, clothes, time periods and such.


So if i can be of any help let me know.


Take care,


Jei_Pi.
 
Hiya Jet-Pi :)
