Maybe past lives?

For much of my life I've had certain interests that I can't explain, except for maybe being past life related?

I've always enjoyed reading about farming and old rural america, and the good ol' days. Everything American and apple pie feelings. During the civil war and post-WW2. WW2 interested me as a child, and so did WW1. I love the South's way of living and also the midwests. I tried to teach myself german as a kid, and have always wanted to go to europe.

The oregon trails were another interest of mine as a kid and so was the titanic (both interests were around the same time). History is one of my favorite subjects in school, mostly the periods from WW1 to the End of the Cold War.

At the moment this is all I can think of. I'll add more when I think of it.
 
Many forum members are history buffs, Rustic Kid. It seems like an interest in history and past lives go hand-in-hand. Since you are interested in many eras, you could try a simple way to narrow things down a bit. Sometimes, when I go to bed at night, I ask Divine Guidance for a dream showing me a past life relationship connection, or a look at an era in which I lived. I have had good results with this. Use whatever name for God that is comfortable for you. You could even ask your "higher self", or subconscious for help. Good luck, and sweet dreams!
 
Welcome Rustic Kid.


You are not the only one! I have interests in Ancient Egypt, The Roman Empire, the Middle Ages, the US Revolutioary War, the Paleolithic, espically the Painted caves in Europe. I've been able to link those to some past lives and no doubt, given time, you will too.
 
Who knows ? you could of lived all those time periods.


I've been obssesed with atlantis since 1977 when


The show In Search Of debuted.


I was real little.
 
Thank you for the advice guys! I'm away from a computer and on my phone so I can't send as lengthy a response as I'd like to, but wanted to thank you so you don't think it's not appreciated.
 
I'm kind of struggling with the same thing, always had an interest in the "old west," and most particularly the American Indian way of life. Interest in some of the same time periods you mentioned, Civil was has always fascinated me (but I resonate with the North) and WWII Germany. Intersting to know there is a connection between remembering past lives / interest in reincarnation and liking history, because it was always my favorite subject in school and continues to be something I love. I wish you luck on your journey of discovery, Rustic_Kid.
 
I'm finally on a computer. Thank you for your advice BriarRose! I am going to try what you suggested and see if it works! Cryscat- That's fascinating that what your interested in has been linked to your former lives! Shadowsofmypast-I hope so, bcause it would make sense. Misty- Thanks much, and I hope the same for you as well! Cool meeting others with the same interests!
 
Just a random thought.


Lets say you were in the civil war ww1 and ww2


You really had a very short life span between


ww1 and ww2:eek:


Not to say mine were not either.


You might had a definite pattern, going there.

One of my favorite shows. "Mr. Spock" was the perfect host for the show. I recorded many of them on my first VCR, but the quality is not good. But now many of the episodes are on YouTube. And at least one episode dealing with reincarnation is located in the video archives section of this forum.

Me too. Since about age 12. In the 1950's and 60's CBS TV had a program called "Twentieth Century". But it was mostly about WWII and used a lot of actual film from the war. I used to watch it with my dad every Sunday evening and we'd talk about it. I think Walter Cronkite was the host.

I think I tend to have short in-between lifetimes, don't know why. I don't know if I died in WWI or if I just experienced both. Now, that I've been going through some of my old dream journals that I found, I have found that I may have been a civie during the first and fought during the later. But being a civie doesn't explain my interest in trench warfare and the use of gas. With the civil war, I may have been a civie too. I'm more drawn to the time and to the confederacy than a particular unit or battle. My interests in the battles was from the ages of 7-10 and stopped. My civie interests were around after that. During WWII my interests are more for the holocaust, the fighting before and after liberation on the German and American sides, and the reconstruction after the war.
 
I had an interesting dream concerning Vietnam I am certain. I used words from "Little Bunny Fufu." Basically I was singing about "bumping "them" on the head" with my "thumper" I'm not going to put the lyrics as I don't want to offend, as they may be seen as being violent and possibly in bad taste. I basically changed certain words to the period term for the Vietnamese, and hitting them with my thumper, and well ya get the jist.
 
Men who were adults during WWI may have been too old to be mobilized for WWII. If you were an officer instead of an enlisted man, it seems more probable that you would have served twice. Of course, that would have been true for a career enlisted man also. The short turnaround between lives would not be surprising if you died in combat. It has been said that there are so many baby boomers, not only because our fathers came home from WWII eager to start families, but because millions of people died at young ages in that conflict. They were eager for the lives they never had. If you think about the social characteristics of the 60's, we had a "lust for life", and in many cases, a great reluctance to sacrifice again. It seemed very unfair that young men should be called to fight an "old man's war". I remember thinking that Richard Nixon and Ho Chi Min should be put into a pit to fight to the death, winner take Viet Nam. Young men lived literally with a death sentence hanging over their heads, as did the girls who loved them. Of course, some young people felt differently, and fought, suffered and died voluntarily, and with honor.

On the contrary, my great Uncle and Earnest Hemingway were both civie's during WWI and you could say, at least in Hemingway's case, that he had an interest in trench warfare! My uncle and Hemingway were both injured in war as civie's...my uncle by gas and Hemingway by bomb blast.
 
Which country were you in during WW1 and WW2? At least in the UK it was possible to be a civilian for the first, and 'combative' in the second by being a member of the Home Guard. They were armed men, usually too old for active service or were required at home for certain jobs (baker, miner etc).

I don't think I was an adult maybe younger like my teens or close. I can see why the baby boomers would. I must have been one in my nam life. Vietnam was a different kind of war,and the first of its kind at the time. I don't think many knew what they were getting into. I don't think I did, but I think I was drafted. My family I suspect were farmers and I went from a small farming town thrown into a war. I have been going over my dream journals that I used to keep and this is what I'm basing much of what I think are memories on. I religiously at one point would write dreams down but then I stopped. I want to start again. I may have some breakthroughs with my nam life, and it's been in front of me the whole time cover face

Usetawuz- Didn't know that, thank you for clarifying!


Helz_belz- I am not that sure. I have always felt an attraction for Germany and for the UK, even Poland. Those could be other lifetimes too. Thank you for the info, I'll make notes.
 
"Men who were adults during WWI may have been too old to be mobilized for WWII."


That is true. My late grandfather was in WWI, but his oldest son (my uncle) was the one who fought in WWII. Grandpa was too old. My other Grandpa, was too young for WWI and too old for WWII. He severed on the home front as part of the Ham radio network of emergency operators (in WWII).

Boys born around 1910 lucked out. Too young for the first and too old for the second. I worked with a guy in the 1970's who was one of these. He was already married with a family when WWII started. Down side, he was orphaned at age 9 in the Great Flu Epidemic and grew up in an orphanage.


Ham Radio began with returning WWI Army Signal Corps veterans who took radios and spare parts home with them as you could not buy anything in stores yet. It was one of these Signal Corps veterans working at Westinghouse Electric in Pittsburgh, PA in 1920 who began broadcasting from a Ham radio station that later became KDKA, the first commercial broadcast station. During the 1930's Depression there were two things people refused to give up. 1) Their car 2) Their radio.
