One person alone could have over a thousand past lives because our spirits continue to be reincarnated after we die, but I do remember two of my recent past lives. My second to last was a human girl named Mizuto, from ancient Japan. My last past life was as a dragon, which I don't have a name for. I remember looking up at the stars and wishing upon a wishing star. That's all that I remember of my dragon life. But I do hope that I can be a dragon once more....

I have been fascinated for years by the Black Plague... I am currently reading an excellent Historical Novel about it and the Social, Economical & Religious repercussions during the aftermath. It is an amazing slice of history - 3/4 of Europe was wiped off the face of the earth (these poor people suffered horrrible); It took England 400 years to repopulate back up to what it had been prior to the 1331-1340 "Great Mortality" I believe I lived during that period - Perhaps in France or Italy; I think I may have been a peasant and I think that my lover my have died first and than I died.

i did a tarot spread for this and discovered i was a rich man who gave to charity a lot in the past life. :)

Malachite	05 Jun 2002
Y'Know... I don't think I had any. I've seen things through other eyes, but I've never been anyone else but me, I think... One Question... How can you tell? :)

I was once told by a psychic that I was: - A rich man at the French court somewhere in the 16th, 17th (??) century - Then I was a nun in Ireland, teaching children, and having a secret love affair (I liked that one! ;)) - And then I was a very poor girl in Germany (?) who led a miserable live having to flee from war/fighting and dying very young (19, 20 ??) from starvation I did a 13-card past lives spread a while ago and it confirmed the past two lives, especially the feelings I had about them in terms of finished/unfinished business. I've seen the post about the Konraad past life spread and I'm definitely going to do that one too when I can find the time!

the dragon energies are the energies of the els or angels, arch angels, elohim, etc. if you prefer. each entity that attains the infinite thought will attain the energies of the el by becoming one. at this point thay have an option of becoming one with the creator of all that is or staying back as an angelic bing to help others attain thier goals. you are one of those that have attained the infinite thought and are here to help others in third dimention linear existence. if you ask your higher self, you will see that you have five primary bodies and not just four. many more revelations will come to you in the next few months, i will be happy to work with you on them. one other note, do not fight your death card. when it is time for you to meve on do it. things will improve on many levels for you at that point. as we raise our vibrational conciousness, those things and people of a lower vibrational freaquency will be left behind. do not fight this for it is only when we move forward that we can lead by example for others to do so. take care love jonesy

I read an awesome book about 10 years ago, which had a script you read into a tape and then played back to yourself to induce hypnosis and past-life regression. I cannot remember the title, and it's driving me nuts! And I lost the tape - typical!!! Anyway, everytime I listened to this tape and regressed, the memories and experiences were always very vivid and real. Once I was an old Native American Medicine Woman, who died in a battle between her tribe and the white men - she/I looked up into the sky at the moment of death, and saw an eagle. Then she/I BECAME the eagle. It was incredible. Also I have been a rich Victorian widdow in England with a little boy (son) with blue eyes and curly blonde hair; and also a young girl living in a small desert village in the 1800's in the USA. Some scientists claim that these are not real regressions, but your brain having a little play while you are under hypnosis. Well, that's SCIENTISTS for you, huh?! :D Anyway, even if they are not past life regressions, they are my own experiences anyway!

I've sometimes wondered about this. The only person that I think I might have been, would have to be someone that was in the Vietnam war. I possibly would have been a "male" soldier,and died in the war. I love the old rock and roll of the 50's and 60's,and associate that with good times I must have had growing up in this particular past life. In other words, let's say I was born in the late 40's. I Grew up in a small town,and had great times in my teen years. Somehow..I ended up as a soldier in the Vietnam war. I assume I had to be a male.( I'm a tomboy at heart,who likes to "play,compete"against,or with men.. I'm a 34 yr.old female,however. Go figure...*LOL* I must have died young,because I feel like I've already"passed"the age of this 'particular' passed life. I've never done a past lives reading before.Would love to know of a spread to use/or particular deck.)

I drove my parents nuts when I was 4-5 with this, because I talked about it *all* the time. I might have been a young person named Leslie, who fell into a deep well and died. I still have a very vivid, detailed memory,of being a young child down in the well, seeing the bricks covered with moss and algae, but not being able to climb up. I could see my older brothers peering in, and talking to me, but they couldn't help me either. I haven't decided, even within myself, if it was just my vivid imagination, or if it was real. But it's mine, so I'll keep it, :D

a friend of mine did a past lives spread for me recently, revealing two lives. in both, i was male and very militant. in one, i was a soldier, and a lot of people died at my hand or at my command. in the other, i was a king, with less of a bloodlust, but the same general mindset. it made so much sense, explained such a big part of me. and other things clicked, too, but i'm keeping that to myself till i've fully understood it.

My most amazing experience was when I was working with a transpersonal therapist and we decided to try and figure out from where a certain guilt problem came. We had not necessarily planned to go back into past lives. But once I was in the necessary state of mind, suddenly I got thrown back into a past life where I was not yet homo sapiens sapiens. Sort of a "Lucy" type half monkey half human. It was amazing to see the world through the eyes and mind of this being. Most of the energy was focused on survival. It was a hostile life. I didn't think in words, it was just feelings and emotions. The senses were much more developed than they are for us, especially the eyes and ears. I then lived through, and experienced what I needed to know, because the mistake I made (that lost me my life) caused the guilt that had been carried over right to the present day. And I was able to work on it and understand, and forgive myself for that error that I made. (hmmm, I wonder, have I really forgiven myself?)

jakyle: i also recommend this one: http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3339 it's an excellent one to start with. :}

Kismet	10 Jun 2002
I am a Christian, so the thought I'm about to share goes against what I was brought up but is something I've always felt. When I was in 2nd grade I was first made aware of the Holocaust. There was a picture of a precious child, maybe 3 or 4 years of age, his hands over his head, his face full of fright, a woman behind him, her mouth covered in horror and 3 Nazis standing with Guns pointed at him, one with his head thrown back laughing. This image stuck with me for years, I read everything I could on the Holocaust, did papers on it, just had an enormous curiosity for something so morbid at such an early age. When I turned 18 I married a man that was in the Army and moved to Germany. Our last week there before returning we visited Dachau. We were told upon entering all exhibits there, clothing, papers, photos shown, etc were from Dachau and had been found by US forces when the camp was liberated. While walking through something similar to the railings you wait in line through at banks, you know, the maze back and forth? Well, it was the same at Dachau in the "museum area", but with walls that were photos from floor to ceiling like a billboard on the highway. I turned a corner, and there was a picture just as the one I'd seen in 2nd grade from floor to ceiling. I was walking the same floor as that precious child. I do not know if I had a past life or if I did for certain what I was or who, but have always felt if I did it had soemthing to do with WW II and the Holocaust. The chances my being in the same place as the child I'd pictured years earlier is just too great to fathom as I had no idea he'd been at Dachau, at least I did not know from anything read or seen in my years on this planet. It would also explain a few things in my life. 1- I have always sympathised with Isreal and those of Jewish culture. 2- Those of you that have read the posts of my boyfriend's passing, his Grandmother was Jewish, he at least 1/4 Jewish. It is why I also asked the question of if when you are reincarnated you are returned to certain spirits/souls to resolve past issues or learn lessons you haven't in the past. These are just my thoughts and ideas, I'd welcome any input or thoughts any of you are willing to share. Thanks! Kismet

I have no past live memories, which drives me nuts, because my mother, my sister and my brother can remember their past lives. It's just not fair! Luckily, my mother has some nifty talents, such as "seeing" certain things and she told me she "saw" me in a former life; must have been somwhere in Finland or Russia (Karelien) - she saw me clad in furs (no, not Neandertal-style!)and had the impression that I was very rich, that I owned many reindeers or something. She could even describe how I looked and that I was taller than I am in this life. My sister remembers a life as a boy in England; she remembers being hunted down and drowned in a creek. My brother must have been a soldier in Napoleon's army, as a little boy he had nighmares/visions of men dying on a battlefield, blood everywhere - he could even describe their uniforms. And he dislikes the French for no apparent reason. Later he told me that he had felt betrayed in that life, being used as cannon-fodder. My mother remembers being stabbed in the back six times; she was killed because she was spying for France in England. My family seems to have ties to England/France... They all have those detailed, colorful memories. I feel left out!LOL

You can learn about your past lives through dreams, but to make sure that these aren't really dreams they must reaccure several different times. Also, a past life can be trigger by looking at a picture, an object, or even a person. Something that seems to be familiar and you've never seen it or them can be a trigger, and with a trigger memories will start to come back to you.

owen glendower	13 Jun 2002
I drove a tank,held a Generals rank when the blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank. Pleased to meet you ,hope you guess my name. WHOA where did that come from? Anyway , my last incarnation was as a "hoo doo" man and gangster in New Orleans during the early 1930s. Iwas killed by one of my lovers and a trusted associate. Is it any wonder that I have trust issues?

Kismet	16 Jun 2002
Shadow_Dragon, you said past lives can be revealed in dreams. I've had a dream often through my life of driving over a bridge, wrecking or the bridge collapsing, unsure which, I only know I end up in the river/lake and have to try to undo my kids seatbelts and cannot get both done in time so have to choose which child to rescue before the car is complete emerged. I don't think this was a past life, pray it isn't a preminition, and ideas? Warm wishes, Kismet

jonesy	17 Jun 2002
kismet, jonesy here. i have been on the road for a while and indeed am still on the road. but this hotel has internet access so i am able to catch up on a few things. this response is the first that i have come to so i take that as a sign to say somthing. keep in mind that with dreams, they usually represent yourself. in the case of having to choose a child in going over a bridge, the bridge is usually a representation of a nexus point that you have now or will soon come to. the children represent a new beginning or path that you must take. only one of those paths will be the right one. the other side have a thousand ways in which they try to help and get messages through. one must find their own way of interpriting these messages. remember your discernment and follow your gut instinct. before you go to bed at night write down three words related to the dream you wish to recall. think about them and the dream and set up a subconcious wake up call for you to remember what your dreaming about. when you awaken repeat the three words and write down what you remember in every detail. the following meditation will then be able to give you some kind of clarity as to the indicaters that the other side is trying to get accross for you. now this method may not work for everyone, but your energy says that this is probably the best method for you.
