Lifetimes you don't hear about often

[Angie Brown]

Hi;

I am curious - if anyone here knows someone whose past life was something you don't read about or hear about often in reincarnation circles. No aliens, or animals please. Lives that are not on the list we come across often.

For example, my niece was a Russian Ballerina in her last life. She was famous but was burned horribly in a car accident and remained in hiding until her death later in life. If anyone knows of this Russian Ballerina - please let me know.

Another was my father who was a Quaker. His cabin burned down in the freezing winter and the family was forced to escape to the barn. The family all froze to death.

I am hoping to hear about not your past lives - but the past lives of others - in your family or circle of friends, and specifically past lives that we do not hear much about.

Another is my mom who was a Monk sent by Spain to the Philippines. She was beheaded by a native who was angry that his wife died due to the illnesses the Spaniards brought with them.

I am curious and want to hear about the -- not so common past lives, and not yours - but other people you know.

The one we towed looked something like this https://www.johnhughes.com.au/blog/six-pioneers-that-changed-the-car-industry/ but maybe not quite identical.
I think the driver said it was made by GM (General Motors), but I may be misremembering as it was a few decades ago. I found the photo and article on google images, by searching 'earliest motor car. The same search term brought up interesting videos on youtube, the very earliest being steam (for some reason antique vehicles get my imagination going. I want to look under bonnets if a car has on, look underneath, paw at the wonderful craftsmanship. Museums won't let their exhibits be touched though).

If it isn't too distressing for your niece and she wants to see the type of car, i'm sure it or similar would be online somewhere but my point is to reassure you that there were cars then, and it seems women did also drive them. I hope this helps albeit it is an old thread now.

As to anyone I have known, my father first went to work in 1934, aged 14, in the print. He immediately recognised a very few of the men, he said maybe up to five of them. He knew their names, whether they had wives and children and for some even the names of their wives and children. He never mentioned it to them and just figured he must have worked there with them before in a recent enough previous life (many people then stayed with the same company for life. Hard times, if they had a job they done what they could to hold onto it). When he told me about it, it was as if his experience were a mild curiosity to him. When I mentioned it to him years after he had told me, he was quite blase and disinterested. He didn't want to know more and had simply accepted it as a pl memmory that had no particular meaning. He wasn't unnerved nor inquisitive about it. It was just 'one of those things' that can happen for no reason.

Apart from him, an Anglo Indian friend from years ago told me she had been Aztec in one life. I think it was a spontaneous memmory, perhaps from even when she was young as I don't remember her saying she was going to have or had undergone hypnosis. She was quite blase that they did sacrifice humans (e.g. as if to say 'that's what they did then'), but she would have been horrified if she went to a country and found it was usual practise in this day and age. She was also irritated, cross even, that historians at that time (70's/80's) were portraying the Aztec civilisation as primitive, and she said most adamantly that they were actually quite advanced for the time.

Best wishes and Happy, Healthy and Wealthy New Year and many more to come for you - and to all here,

Angie

I had a friend who got VERY mad at me for suggesting past lives. While she was religious, so maybe this had something to do with it, she was also always open to other beliefs, so normally would have said "well, Christians don't really believe that." (Even though many do - but that's beside the point.) Reincarnation, though? No. She flipped out, and started saying really loudly that that implied punishment and God died for our sins, so what would the point be in being "punished" with a new life...

Incidentally, this over-the-top reaction makes me wonder whether she has a PL she doesn't want to think about, or if it just triggered that reaction subconsciously. This isn't necessarily the case, reincarnation may have just been one of the things she wasn't tolerant of (or she was one of those people who likes to claim they're open to all ideas when really, they aren't), but the anger was just so strange and out of the blue that it makes me wonder.

I also always had it in my head that a relative (through marriage) came from a particular place, even though she didn't. But when I told her, I joked that she must have lived there in another life, to which she replied - very seriously - "I did." Not sure whether I knew her in that life (the little bit she told me didn't really trigger any memories) or if I just "sensed" it somehow.

My daughter has always gone "Italian" on me with the entire body- and speaking ways when she gets mad or when she is telling a joke. I have not introduced any Italian culture, movies or anything (we have not gone to Italy either) to her. I have experienced a past life where I came from Italy (ended 1970's). When she was little she used to tell me that she and I "take turns" to being parent and child, adding "Don't you remember?!" ; ) . I have told her of the reincarnation belief alongside other beliefs out there what happens when we die but that we don't know for sure til we do die and that it is up to her and her alone what she chose to think. Since I have not yet found the person I've experienced being I have kind of put it on a shelf til I do find her - and then I think I could introduce her. Til then I think I better lie low, anyone including a part of myself can claim it is just fabrication, imagination. My daughter does not seem to have any scars (nightmares etc) from when she supposedly was my parent in a past life so I have just let it be. She stopped mentioning that we take turns when she was around 5 or 6, I think.
