Do you approve of all these people and their achievements? Probably worth considering regardless of possibility of being them lol
There's loads of people I would like to say I have been simply because of the respect I have for them, but do you see the problem with that?
For what it's worth though I have lately been getting the feeling that perhaps I was a guy in Greece called "Plotinus". The name came to me repeatedly in dreams before I actually checked out who he was, as in that''s what I was referred to as. I'm not sure I would have seen his name before as the only stuff about ancient greece I had really read at the time were primary sources by Homer and Plato, both preceding Plotinus in time (though I may have seen it around in books by other more modern philosophers I must admit). Also it would link up with my NDE (in part at least anyways). Since then I've been developing an adoration for the place in time, though personally I think that would be rather natural to anyone who studies it lol. Also there has been some weird links with me and the myth of Merlin...
But! It's all nothing I can confirm and if I was to live my life by these theories I would just cause complication for myself and others lol (though it is fun to ponder I'll give you that) this exercise of past life pondering can be used for self exploration but to actually think we may have been these people is taking it all bit far and outside the realm of use (i'm not strictly a "practical" thinker, I spend a lot of time outside that realm but it's not for everyone lol).
I mean, in reality it's much more likely I (and maybe even you) spent lives just being fisherman or a slave or something, all have their worth. You can learn from anyone (alive or dead), you don't have to have literally "been" them lol
