I didn't find anything to do with leight being used as a word in any language (nothing scientific...just googling).
All I came up with was the family name of Leight. Supposedly, the Leight family crest and coat of arms was first found in Gloucestershire where they held a family seat as Lords of the manor of Lett, before the taking of the Domesday Book in 1086.
Not sure about the quality or accuracy of this website.

Hi Totoro, my first thought on it is that it hints to those German/Dutch connections again that you might have discovered.. when you write the word "light" phonetically, in German and Dutch you would write it "leit" since our ei is your i ;-)
The word "leight" doesnt exist in German though, light in German is "Licht" if its what comes from the sun or a lightbulb ;-) or "leicht" if it is the not-heavy kind
if you know what i mean
hope that helped in any way and wasnt too confusing!!

It's not Dutch either, we say 'licht' for both the sun/lightbulb light and the not-heavy thing. And I don't know anything that sounds like Leight.. It's not a typical Dutch/German last name or something. Maybe 'leid' or 'lijd', which means as much as 'guide' or 'suffer'.
How long have you had this? Because sometimes when I'm not really paying attention or am just tired, I'll type different things too. Even in this post I typed 'lichtbulb' instead of 'lightbulb', and 'night' instead of 'name'. And you don't even want to see my un-edited writing.. Haha.

I think I figured it out! :laugh: It's a type of dog...!
TMeganV, do you speak Dutch? Do you know of a breed called a Dutch Leight? If you google it, you find a few resources for dogs of that breed.
It's been going on for a while now so I don't think it's a "tired" type of typo. I'm also a pet person and I would probably hug the crap out of a dog like that. yikes
My most recent past life also had a kennel or two full of small dogs, so it's possible that one was amongst them. There's also a photo of her hugging the crap out of a sheep; which is something else I would do, cause they're just so fluffy!
I wonder if they aren't really Dutch though and it's just a name rather than the origin. Because it could be tied into either past life her's or the previous Dutch one in the Boer war. So Rachael, you could be right on as well!

I've got quite a few but to make things easy I picked the word like. I always misspell it as liek. Which I think is and have had it translated as "medicine." (Slovenian)
Edit- I just looked up another word I often misspell, and it too is slovenian. I often spell the as teh. Which I think is the word "these" But in indonesia teh is also tea so don't know.

"Teh" is such a common mis-typing of "the" that I wouldn't put much stock in it. Most people who do it are typing very quickly, but slower typists also stumble on the order of the "e" and "h". Even if you do it while hand-writing, it could be a slight out-pacing of your hand by your brain. Dyslexics have that on a larger scale. "Like" and "leik" are a similar story with typists, not so much hand-writers. Other misspellings, especially significant ones, do merit some checking into.
In my own case, ever since I was a kid I have reversed the order of the "-er" at the end of such words as "theater" and "center", spelling "theatre" and "centre". My somewhat overly reincarnation enthusiastic parents and some so-called psychics insisted it was proof of a PL in England. They wouldn't listen when I told them I saw it on an American BBC broadcast and thought it was a neat way to spell it. It doesn't dismiss any possible British PLs, but they certainly weren't the cause of it. I was just enjoying a different way of doing things, as many small children are wont to do.

That's funny, Shiftkitty. I do the same thing, and probably for the same reasons as you! Also, I suspect myself of just being "pretentious". ( I don't suspect others of that, and certainly not you, Shiftkitty. You are very "down-to-earth!) I think that sometimes people in the PL community read too much into little things. Has anyone read Semikew's "Return of the Revolutionaries"? I'm in the process, and I have never seen PLs inferred from such scant evidence. He takes "mole-hills, and soon has constructed the Rocky mountains from them. This is Totoro's post, and he is the most rigorous among us, when it comes to research. Semikew should study Totoro's research thread!

No, haven't read the book, but I sometimes go to his website www.iisis.net. What do you think about Semikew's theory that physical resemblance is very strong from lifetime to lifetime?BriarRose said:That's funny, Shiftkitty.

Have any of you noticed any strong physical resemblance to people you may have been in past lives? That is, when you can locate a photograph.

Well I put much stock into it because as a child and today I always use/misspell "teh" and say it as "teh" Same with liek and especially considering that I have always suspected a lifetime in that general area anyways.Shiftkitty said:

I never believed it before. But after reading about James Leninger in "Soul Survivor" and the people that knew him as James Huston all said he looks just like James Huston. On the "Soul Survivor" website there are photos of both Leninger and Huston side by side. They have the same facial features, etc. It's uncanny. Now I want to find a photo of me in WWI and see if looks like the present "me".CrimsonPhoenix said:
I think one can expect a degree of resemblance. It's interesting and it gets into physics a bit, but I think that way you look and your body "is" is encoded into an energy pattern which then affects how you look in this life.
The genetics and physical characteristics of your current in turn affect the energy pattern and its an ongoing, cyclical and evolving process.
This is also how past life traumas show up in our bodies in current lives.
It's really interesting when you get down to it and yes I believe that everyone should represent their former lives in appearance. But given that it's a ongoing process of change, you also have to take into account for how far away you are from that life and also if you've changed sex or not as there may be differences or variations in your appearance.

For me, the jury is still out on physical resemblance, Crimson. I have visited the Isis website also. I didn't find very many of Semikew's "resemblances" to be very striking, except for John Edward and Kate Fox. The early part of the book has much stronger research, and stronger resemblances, but he based it on on other people's work. One of the supposed portraits he used was of Button Gwinnett, and I know for a fact that there were no contemporary portraits of Gwinnett. Semikew is so bent on making his case, that he omits that information. Also, so much of his "validation" comes from the channel medium, Kevin Ryerson. I continue to be dubious about channel mediums. I have accidentally hijacked Totoro's thread. Sorry! I will start a thread about this. It will be under "Scientific Research", for anyone interested.
