Past Lives

[Tenet Nosce]

I have evidence of a past life as an individual who was very influential in the spiritual/esoteric thought movement of the late 19th century. Certain ideas passed down through this person's work were later twisted by others and put to STS purposes... which looking back now is probably one of the reasons I was so struck by the Ra material when they were relating a similar story to me 15+ years ago.

I don't feel the need/desire to name this person, but they wouldn't be a "household" name even among spiritual seekers and metaphysical enthusiasts. Though certainly anybody here would be familiar with certain concepts this person spoke and wrote about, such as Atlantis, well before Edgar Cayce came around.

According to some historical accounts, this person had a certain propensity toward plagiarism and megalomania, though I tend to disagree. Naturally I would. However, seeing as how their works became twisted to dark purposes and their name all but lost to obscurity, I can see how there may have been some element of karma at play there- or rather ego getting in the way of clear expression.

The primary evidence for this past life is "dream" evidence, and I put "dream" in quotes for a reason because I am almost certain I was astral/time traveling to this person's home during multiple experiences many years ago. I have since confirmed the location of this building on Earth, and verified with Google Earth several unique structural features of this place I was traveling to so many years ago.

The secondary evidence I have for this is confirmation by my partner, who I learned had also been astral visiting this place. She has seen different parts of the building than myself, but there are certain parts we have both seen. We also have both seen that in one of the rooms is a golden globe and a golden piano. Note, these visitations were going on many years before we ever met in person. I don't even remember how it came up in conversation between us, but I do know it was very early on in the relationship and not something I would normally bring up so easily.

The tertiary evidence I have for this is confirmation from a psychic friend of mine who is also also an art dealer, and very good with psychometry. Normally, I wouldn't give psychics much credibility but I can vouch for this particular one as she has been right about things that pissed me off and I didn't want to admit, but later had to go back and admit she was right.

Since becoming aware of all of this, I have also come across a very interesting idea put forth by Dolores Cannon which suggest that, for some souls incarnated here on Earth, it may actually be their first time here. These are able to draw from the Akashic Records and take certain memories as their own, in order to help guide them through tumultuous times. Perhaps this explains why so many people claim to be Cleopatra, etc.

But anyway, one of the more poignant aspects of rumination on past lives is- does it matter? Does it actually help us in any way? In this particular case, I would say yes and I say this noting that my default answer to this question would typically be no.

It just so happened that I came into certain personal details of this individual's life just as I happened upon a crisis point within my own. It's kind of hard to explain, but one day I started feeling a deep sense of compassion for this person. Then- I came to realize that this person was myself if I didn't start making different choices in my own life. So this became an immensely valuable lesson for me, whether or not the past life is actually true.

To be able to view the suffering of another self with great concern and great love- but also with great humor- is something that has changed the way I view myself and the world. If that other me only knew what I know now... makes me wonder who is looking in on me at this moment, and what they might know that I don't know...

Hey speaking of past lives, what does everyone think about the idea that the facial structure stays basically the same from one lifetime to the next? Isn't that rather...convenient? Most of the pictures I've seen were quite a stretch. Do you think there's something to it? If so, then discovering our past lives would be a lot easier: Just find someone in history you look like.

I had a preliminary reading with a guy named Brian Stalin who claims to be able to directly read the Akashic records. Not incidentally, he claims that DW is the reincarnation of Rasputin, and has some interesting things to say about the Ra Material. I came across this information on a Google search for "don elkins suicide".

He agreed to a preliminary reading, and asked for several pictures of myself, along with friends and family members. I sent him some of me, but declined to send any of friends or family members. He said this could lessen the accuracy of the reading.

He returned a picture with no name. I did a reverse image search and found it to be somebody in the English royalty who lived during the late 19th/early 20th century. Interestingly, this life overlapped with the one I previously discussed, so unless I was living two lives at once... well... I heard that is possible but I will stick to the point...

Looking at several pictures of this person, there were definitely many facial similarities between them and myself. And I also found one picture of them with a relative who was a dinger for a cousin of mine through marriage that has a similar name.

Still, I'm inclined to stick with the life I already had in mind. Unless we allow for living more than one simultaneously, which I guess in theory isn't there only one Spirit incarnating over and over again? But then that makes the whole discussion somewhat pointless and maybe that is the point.
