Pieces of a puzzle

I was standing at the staircase in front of the house and looked at my father's car. (--)
I get a feeling of relief seeing the car.
Would you recognise the car - or style of car?

Here's a google image search for vintage cars - maybe something there that comes close?
Cars were rare in Sweden in the teens - a little more common in the twenties, but still only wealthy folks who could think of buying a car.
More american cars on swedish roads than in the rest of europe in general - mostly due to their ruggedness on the terrible roads.

Edit: thanks, Karoliina, never saw that post. So it was a Model A, one of the most common cars of the era. Hard to trace in the regional car registry archives - but could have been a lead, had it been a less common model.
 
Hello Indian,

Sunniva posted this earlier in this thread (post #20):

My boyfriend and I walked past an old car: http://oldcarandtruckpictures.com/ModelAFord/

I just turned my head, looked at it as I passed by and thought: "Papa hadde en sån" - which is Swedish and means: "Daddy had one of those".

I don't know if she saw the same car in this memory flash, but that is a late 1920's model.

Hi,

Thanks for doing that search, Indian!

I didn't see the car in much detail, but the old Model A triggered the memory :). It was definitely black and square-ish, and compared to the google images, it was also quite small. A bit plump, if you can call a car that :)

Karoliina, I forgot to write this in the email: feel free to post your email. I think it's very interesting :)

Does the name Ilona mean anything to you? :confused:
 
Okay, so this is what I got from my Swedish PL in a meditation (as I emailed to Sunniva):

Julia looks the same as in my earlier meditation, but then I thought she had blue eyes - now I think they're brown. And I think "just like both parents, although Mama was a blonde whereas Julia has light brown hair". Julia is a bit pale and has a pointy nose. I think both our parents have Russian heritage, but at least Papa has lived in Sweden all his life and our life is very much a mixture of both Russian and Swedish traditions and habits. I think Julia is a bit of a tomboy, whereas I'm more interested in Mama's painting and other things she likes. She paints often in the garden of our villa.

Mama is somehow fragile, but at the same time dramatic. She gets bad head aches, especially when we are in town. She says in a dramatic way that "in the country side she can BREATHE". Papa is smiling gently but amused. He is so much more stable than Mama - the artist and drama queen. He loves her very much, but finds her amusing at times. :)

Our family plays a lot of music, I think Mama plays both the piano and the guitar, and Papa perhaps the violin. Julia has a good voice and she can sing several old Russian songs.

In the garden there are a couple of "stairs" leading from the front yard to the back yard so that the front yard is a bit higher up. I think the villa is by a lake that you can see from the back yard. I see myself and Julia as children, maybe 12 years old, sitting on the stairs between the yards. We have straw hats on and we play some game with coins we put in the sand on the stairs.

One thing I wanted to write here separately, as I realised only later it might be important: When I think about Julia when we're grown ups, I think she has changed a lot, is religious and very calm - maybe even in a little "hypocrite", "good Christian" way. Later I remembered you posted how you saw yourself later in that life in very ascetic surroundings, lying on a bed that had a crucifix above it hanging on the wall. When I remembered this I thought it's very likely Julia moved away from Sweden maybe to be a missionary or something like that - to convert people in some other country. I'm not sure of this, but it sounds very right to me.

Sunniva can comment on this herself. :)

Oh yeah, Ilona doesn't ring any bells immediately, but when my younger sister was born in this life, I wanted to name her Ilona, because back then it was the most beautiful name I knew (I was 7 years old). I had a picture of a beautiful girl I always thought of as Ilona.

I don't know about 'Ilona' - it just keep popping up in my head :confused: :rolleyes:

As I wrote to Karoliina, I was really, really astonished by her description. It completely matched my own picture and feelings of, especially, the parents.
What even caught me more by surprise was the description of Julia, which could have been a description of me in my current life - even facial details :)

I am extremely exited about this! It's very hard to stay calm and 'rational' and say: "Let's just wait and see," lol
I keep saying to myself: "I know nothing is *really* validated, but...THIS IS SO GREAT!" Haha...

Anyway, Karoliina suggested that my brother in my current life was also my/our brother in that life. That made me think about something, because when I was younger my parents were told that I was 'new' in the family. That is, they had all been reincarnated together before, but I had sort of 'progressed' and moved along to a new circle of souls.
Does that make sense?

I wondered what the general thought was on this :)

I want to stress that this was just a thought as there are many similarities between him and "Henrik", and the relationship between the siblings. :o :D

To your question - I believe we stay with the same circle of souls, but the circle is wide so we are not with the same specific souls in every lifetime. I think we also meet new souls every lifetime.

I said to Sunniva to go with what she feels is right, and not take the psychics words for granted - even though there are also good psychics out there. ;)

This may be nothing, but I´ll share it anyway.

Last night I heard the name Julia Buckerman in my head and remembered immediately this thread.

I also saw Karoliina´s avatar and I called her Eve. These were two different dreams, so I don´t know when she was called this way. Perhaps I just made it up.
 
Thanks, Lila - I'm glad you decided to share. :)

I will write these down and will tell if something comes up one day!

Karoliina
 
Thanks a lot, Lila :) I haven't had any clues as a pastname at all.

That is, I did get the name Sjögreen in my head one day, but for some reason I see this in relation the name 'Ilona', whom I don't know who is - yet :) it's Sjögreen or something like that. I don't know if it has any significance at all though.

I'll keep it in mind, definitely :-)
 
Sunniva,

I just googled Ilona and apparently it's common only in Finland, Hungary and Latvia. Hmmm. It could've been your mother's name, perhaps?

If your father had Russian roots, too, the surname was probably Russian. Unless immigrants changed their surnames into Swedish ones - I don't know if it was done, though.

Karoliina
 
I had a very short flash the other day, but it was very clear.

It was christmas and dark outside. I was in a livingroom and through a double-glass door (to livingrooms en suite) I looked at a big christmas-tree. It was very high and there were candles on it, but I don't remember the other stuff on it. I don't remember either if there were presents underneath :-)

I probably remembered this flash, because of your 'christmas-memory', Karoliina. :-)

Does anyone know about organisations - missionary or not - that went to Africa in the 1920's?
