Memories of England - 1600's

In a meditation 10/5/94 I found myself as a young boy named Kayln. There are many memories of him - but I thought I would share this one.

In my inner vision I could see myself a young boy 9- 10 years old. It was the mid 1600’s. I was walking up some stairs. It was the third story of an Inn. The Inn was situated on a hill side, which was almost on a cliff near the sea.

Several young boys were in the attic on the third floor. I looked around and saw boxes and old furniture stacked everywhere. It was used for storage but we liked to hide there. : angel There was one small window to my left that was domed at the top and had four window panes in it.

I walked over to the window and looked outside. I could see the harbor where all the sailing vessels were docked. There were other buildings close to it but the Inn was the main attraction. The road side had bricks laid along the path to define the roadway. The view from the Inn was breathtaking and unobstructed, there were no buildings on the sea side of the road. I could see people walking and loose dogs running about.

Myself and several other boys proceeded to roll a large “cigarette” - but it really looked more like a cigar! It consisted of an olive colored green leaf wrapped around the tobacco and then rolled. We smoked it slowly, trying to enjoy the flavor and trying to act big while we did so. :laugh: One of the boys suddenly held his finger to his lips and told us to "ssssshhhhhhhhhh." We could hear someone coming up the stairs; we all scattered to hide! My heart was in my throat! But who ever it was never came through the door.

I was crouched down behind a pile of things. I turned and looked up and I noticed a broken down old Violin with only two strings that were sticking out from it hanging on the wall. Under it was an old trunk. I wanted so badly to open it and see what was inside.:rolleyes: I could hear the people talking and scampering about in the Inn below us. Soon we all shuffled down to the “pub.” We worked there, cleaning dishes, picking up garbage and fetching stuff.

There was a lot of music played, violins were one of the major instruments of the day. There was a lot of foot stomping, and dancing in the area between the tables. I saw woman whose dress had white trim stitched on a long blue gray skirt. The shoulder straps were draped down on the arms and her breasts pushed up for more cleavage.

I looked down, I wore round toed shoes which buttoned up the ankle side, half way to the shin, with brown nickers and a loose fitting large long sleeved shirt. I knew my parents helped run the pub; Sailors and travelers would come and stay at the Inn in the rooms on the second level. There were only about 12 rooms available. Downstairs was where they ate, drank and danced into the night.

It was England - the talk of the town was of the New England - the land beyond the sea.
 
Wowwww... I felt transported as I read your post.

Thank you for sharing!

(I look forward to future installments ;) )
 
I was aware of Kayln, since you posted about him before, but I didn't realize the inn was near a harbour. Were you able allready to pinpoint the exact location - name of a city or town? Just curious...

Hi Eevee and Kat,

I saw a special on TV once that showed a coastal region of England with cliffs that looked like what I remember. This was a couple of years ago. I cannot say I remember a town name or city. It felt like the Wales side of England. Northern area.

My memories of Kayln have come in various ways. The first post was a meditation. But confirmations have come via a psychic who never met me but told a friend about my pl with her; my son at age 9 in meditation telling me what he saw (which matched my experience), and the friend whose memories matched mine - right down to the name -and our travels to New England together on a ship.

The following is a past life dream. At the time I was not familiar with the term New England and what exactly the dream was referring too. Now - I know.

New England Dream------------------------------------------

I stood next to a small carriage, and one medium sized brown horse that was still hooked and reined to the carriage. An old dark blanket was thrown up over the horses back and I was removing it. Someone else's belongings lay stacked in the back. I was with an older gentleman who was riding a big bay horse. He said -

“If they wanted their freedom they were advised to give up everything.” It was night time, and the carriage was pointed down a dirt road leading out of town. It was very dark outside. The man said, “”If ye wants your freedom ye must leave everything behind.” He had a heavy English accent. I noticed the dirt road out of town had a powdery dusty layer of dirt on top. It was the mid to late 1600’s. The old man and I wore clothes like those of New Englanders. (I remember thinking this in the dream - not just in reflecting on it in the morning).

I was young - mid teens maybe. I think the older man was helping people to get out of town and obtain their freedom. I walked next to the carriage and he rode. After some time walking down the dark, dusty road we could see three men on horse back behind us. A posse was looking for people who were trying to leave. The men on horse back darted back and forth from one side of the road to the other, searching the brush for people who might be hiding.

The man with me told me to get down next to the road side, not in the brush and curl up like a rock, next to the rocks, my back to the road. He said they would not notice me there, but would instead search the brush, and that he would be alright, due to his status in the city.

The three men sure enough headed our way and I did as I was told, becoming like a rock on the road side. One man on horseback came right up to me, his horse pacing and pawing at the ground only a foot away from where I was. I froze, the man searched looking deep into the brush but never saw me. The horse knew I was there, and was careful not to step on me. I lay there thinking “New England!” ----------------------end

“New England” in the 1600’s was America. I was a young man, maybe 14 when I left the Inn where I worked to go to the new world.
 
Thanks for sharing your memories! I remember hearing once that "New England" was what they called America.
 
What a great thread, Deborah. Thank you for sharing! I loved your memories of Kayln.

Do you have any idea what happened to him?
 
Like Ailish, I am curious to know if you remember more about Kayln's life. When he left for New England, did he tell his parents (who worked at the inn) that he was going? Or did he leave secretly? Do you have memories of the voyage or the ship? Did he arrive in New England and how did he live there?

Lots of questions, I know, and maybe you don't have answers (yet), but maybe the questions can trigger memories, who knows? :)

Thanks for sharing !

HI,

I do have a lot of information about his life and I do not mind sharing. :D I don't have time this morning to add to this in detail, but since there is interest I will post more tonight and tomorrow.

His parents knew he was leaving. He made several trips over the years to America and he died of dysentery. There are detailed memories of the ship, sleeping in cloth hammocks strung between support poles in the bottom of the ship, and another boy who was with me.

I will also share the validations between myself and other individuals. I do want to add...that these memories began in 1992. They represent many years of exploration, experience and shared validations.

Thanks for asking. ;)
 
I had a dream that claimed to show a past life in the mid-1500's:

I’d crept up to a tiny observation deck on the Great House’s roof. From that hidden vantage point I’d watched men tending our enormous gardens — all the while marveling at what a great and powerful man Father was, at how he owned all I could see.

and another snippit:

I rode a wagon or pony, as part of a procession of wagons, flying banners of green, gold and black in the icy wind — our family colors. We were going to an important event. Christmas Court, in London?
 
The first post was a meditation, the second a past life dream. The following is a shared experience - in a meditation I did with my son in 1994.

Daniel was nine years old, and after doing extensive past life regressions myself, I decided to try something new. Daniel was in a rather calm mood for the day, and I asked him if he wanted to meditate with me...his eyes lit up, and said,"yah what’s that?"

I had done most of my meditating when he was in school or somewhere else due to the noisy household I had at the time.) I told him it was a form of relaxing, that the light in his inner vision could take him to anyplace he would like to go. Daniel talked of inner light when he was younger, so he was familiar with it. We set a timer for fifteen minutes so that we both would know when the time was up and he agreed to lay quiet and still until the bell rang. We both laid down on my bed, and I held his hand. I put on some Tibetan Bell music and told him that the sound of the music would help him to relax. I told him to watch for anything he might “see“ when relaxing.

It was a beautiful experience, he laid perfectly still for 15 minutes, his breathing was shallow and he held my hand softly. I went into an altered state very fast; he must have too. The inner light was beautiful and the unconditional love I felt between us was beyond words. When the buzzer went off, he sat up slowly and looked at me with the most amazing amount of wonder in his eyes. I had not said a word. He said, "Did you see all the fog mommy? Wasn't it cool? That barn was awesome --- we had so much fun!" He went on to describe the hay, the rafters, and the rope swing.

I got chills, and tears in my eyes because I had seen and experienced the same thing. In more detail, but his confirmation to me, before I said anything was truly a gift. This was the beginning for me to see that we can “share” memories with our children and with others.

What I experienced during the meditation was the mid to late 1600‘s, in England, it was cool outside, and very foggy. He was my best friend and we were playing in a barn near my house. I knew we had spent many childhood days playing, working and hiding in that barn. He was a mischievous little boy, about seven and I was about eight. My name was Kayln. His name was Ian.

I will explain later this week, what a psychic told a friend of mine. The psychic knew nothing about me, in fact she was in Ohio - yet she nailed it. I am not one to advocate psychic readings - I think it is important to experience past life memories yourself. What she told my friend - confirmed and validated what I was already experiencing, as well as what my friend had been remembering. Very interesting indeed. :)
 
I love the story of you and Daniel -- of Kayln & Ian. :) It's a such a profoundly beautiful experience -- thank you for sharing it, Deborah.

I'm looking forward to the continuation of the story. ;)

Continued....

I had had several past life experiences regarding my life in England as Kayln when in the late 1990's I was participating on a private forum with some extraordinary people. Judy (Carl Sagan's sister in-law) Elizabeth Hallett (Author of Soul Trek) And others whose understanding of life as a daily spiritual walk changed mine - forever. I am truly thankful for all that they shared with me.

One of the women (Pam) and I became close friends. We talked about spiritual books, dreams, visions, PSI and of course past lives. I had not shared my memories of Kayln but had recorded five pages of memories in my journal over the preceding year. In fact, it never came up in our conversations.

Pam had a group of friends that invited a local psychic in Ohio where she lives - to do a group session. Pam told me that as soon as everyone sat down, the psychic looked straight at her and said "You have a friend on the West Coast, you have had a past life with. In England. Your parents owned an Inn along the coast and you and your friend worked there. Your name was Kalyn and hers Samuel, and you both later sailed to the New World working as deck hands."

Pam had been having flashbacks of this life time but had not said anything to me or the psychic. Once the psychic stated this - she knew exactly who she was talking about. Me! She e-mailed me a long excerpt from her session, and of course I was shocked and copied and pasted from my journals everything I had recalled as Kayln. My memories, her memories and the psychic reading all matched. The only thing the psychic got wrong - was the names were reverse. I was Kayln and she was Samuel.

Pam and I have meet several times since then - I flew once to Ohio for an exhibition and stayed several days; and she and her husband drove it California once and stayed for several days. We chat on the phone from time to time and when we meet - or chat -it's like we live next door to each other and have known each other forever. Memories flood in and as I am talking she is filling in the blanks and visa versa.

The shared experiences with my son and with Pam - brought a whole new meaning to past life validations for me. :)
 
Thanks for sharing this connection Deborah. Reading your various past life memories and all the connections you've made this life is very heartwarming and inspiring.

John
 
Hi Deborah,

Hearing about shared experiences always make me so -- joyful. There is something special about two souls meeting up again that simply warms the heart. What a wonderful validation for you and Pam! :D

Thank you so much for sharing!


Aili
 
It was so exciting to read about your connection with Pam,Deborah ! Thanks for sharing !

I think the invention of the WWW was really an advantage, also concerning past lives. I have seen so many times already where people from the past meet each other again, with a first contact through the internet. I wonder if there is a meaning to the fact that specifically in this age this is made possible. (Sorry if this is somewhat off topic).

BTW, is there a connection to what age Kayln and Samuel were when they separated/died, and the age you and Pam were when you met again? Does it feel like a continuation from where it ended last time? (Or maybe you discovered connections also in another lifetime between the 1600's and the present?).


Eevee
 
Thank you. :)

I think I died in my late 30's or very early 40's. I am not sure about Pam..I think we went our separate ways before then. I was 37 when we met on line ten years ago. It's an interesting question, but I am not sure. I will ask Pam if she sees any parallels to the time we met and the time we died or separated.
 
Update:

Regarding Eevee's question :
....is there a connection to what age Kayln and Samuel were when they separated/died, and the age you and Pam were when you met again?
I e-mailed Pam and she said there was none that she could think of off hand.

She also said -
The Channeler who got our names reversed did give the name as "Calvin" not Kalyn. I remember when you and I then talked, the name was so very close to what you had in your journal. He said the name was similar to "Calvin". He couldn't quite get the name. I made note of that with a question mark next to this name and a short explanation in my notes. Just wanted to share this info as accurately as I can with you.

Pam clarified some things for me from her perspective so I thought I would share.

It wasn't with the female psychic the first time that she learned of our shared past life. She went to a channeling session with a group of Friends. This was in Indiana, not Ohio.

She asked the channeler if she and I had ever shared a lifetime. He told her that we had a past life together in England in the 1600's. That he thought it was near or around the Liverpool area.

He said that my name was Samuel and hers was something like--Calvin. He wasn't sure that this was accurate. Later when she shared this with me, we realized that he had gotten the names mixed up. He said that her father ran a small pub. That she and I were good friends who grew up together. That she and I worked together in the pub to help her dad out when we were in our teens. He said that we also helped the shipbuilders and learned that craft.

The second point is she later visited an older female psychic in Indiana. The channeler and the psychic did not know each other. The readings took place in 2 different cities in Indiana months apart from each other. She had written a question asking on a piece of paper if we had lived together, folded the paper and handed it to her. She never looked at or unfolded the paper. She simply held it in her hands. Pam said:
Suddenly she looked right at me and mentioned YOU. I knew it was YOU because of her description--- a friend that I met on the computer who lived in California. She told me that we had shared a lifetime together in England in the
1600's. That we were young boys who worked in my dad's pub. She didn't give a location as Liverpool, but she said the pub was on the ocean. She went on to say that you and I would meet more than once---that I would be going to California to meet you during one of our meetings! I thought she was completely wrong about this. I live in Ohio as you know and had never been to nor ever planned on going to California. That's what makes how our trip to California funny....

So -it was a great reminder to me - that her validations came from a channeler, a psychic and her own memories - as well as my experiences journaled years before we ever met on the INTERNET.
 
That is a phenomenal amount of validation -- from so many different sources! Wow!

Thank you so much for sharing, Deborah. Both you and Pam are blessed to have found each other and continue your special friendship in this life!


Aili :D
 
Thank You Aili - I am looking into Liverpool; I feel it was north of Liverpool, not exactly Liverpool. This map shows the country in the 1600's. I looked back on my notes and had references to Liverpool 15 years ago. I am sure there was a rocky coast line. :)

So for those just now exploring and reading about reincarnation, I hope this illustrates the importance of keeping a journal. As time passes - the details can become blurry - especially specifics. ;).
 
Hi Deborah,

May I suggest you try doing some research into a place called New Brighton? It's north west of Liverpool, it is one of the few places in the region that has a rocky coastline. Do you have any memories of a lighthouse at all? There is one here.

Also there is a perfect view across the Mersey river to the harbour in Liverpool.

Good luck with your search..;)

Chris
 
Thanks Chris - I will check it out. If you have any images of it -please share. Internet searches are a pain. Spent the last two hours looking through photos.

I have to say - my memories resemble the landscape of the Cornwall Coast much more than the Liverpool area. But Perhaps New Brighton is similar. I will check it out. Thanks Again!
 
Here is a picture of the coastline around New Brighton as it is today, just to give you an idea.

Here is a painting of New Brighton in the "old days".

And Here is a written history of the region going back to the 1600's

I hope any of this helps, good luck..:)

Chris
 
The second image -- YES! Like that! And the old postcard that shows the building next to the cliff side - sits on the hills similar to the Pub I remember. Awesome Chris - thank you so much! I will forward the images to Pam and see if she has any comments.

Maybe someday I can travel to England and check it out. ;)
 
What a great thread - I only found it now. Thanks for sharing, Deborah! :)

I'm especially interested in this as I've thought for a couple of years now that I had a PL in Northern England in the 1600's and I sailed to New England during that life - but I have never really tried to explore that PL.

Karoliina
 
Wow! What a fantastic story. It must be so wonderful to have that kind of validation - it really proves something, it's book-worth, I think :)

I'm still struggling to remember something more detailed than just emotions and certain situations. Also - my parents were told by a psychic that I was 'new' in relation to them - it explains why I don't really meet anyone where I feel a pastlife-connection like people have explained. Actually I've only felt that toward completely strangers that I've seen on a train-station or something, but that's a different story.

I can't wait to hear more of this! :)
 
HI Karoliina,

I hope you share your explorations with us! :) Very exciting.

Thank you Sunniva. I am writing a book, it justs takes so much time and I want to do it right. :D Pam and I have been e-mailing this week and one observation we have noticed is that it seems our meeting in this life was at about the age when our friendship ended in that life; caused by my death. I have not shared my wife's death yet- perhaps later this evening. : angel
 
Deborah,

I think I've actually had two lives in New England in the 1600's. At least one of them was spent in Maine, possibly in a town called Newcastle (or then I was originally from close to Newcastle, UK). I'm not sure if I sailed to or was born in New England in the other PL (as a woman), but of the other I have written down the following:

"I believe I was born in the northern part of England, on the country side - in my memory it is rainy and grey, but the grass is very green. I/my family had possibly sheep. As a young man I'm in love with a girl and plan a shared future with her, but later I become very obsessed with religion and decide to leave the girl and sail to the New World to start a new, better life. Once in America I build myself a house and live alone, and teach the Natives about Christianity = convert them."

I haven't really looked further into that life, but reading your memories made me go through my notes - it's just that there isn't that much to go through. :D Knowledge of this life has always been more about a strong, intuitive feeling than actual experiences/memories, but there are some to back up the feeling. :)

Of the other life as a woman I don't have personal memories, but someone else has recognised me from there. :o

Karoliina
 
Hi Deborah,

Any updates on your memories of England? Did you forward the pictures of New Brighton to Pam? I'm curious to know if she recognized any of them.

Chris..;)
 
Hi Deborah :)


I'm just curious if you have any updates to this? It's just a fascinating story you have here :)
