I am studying people's birthplaces, please recommend who you think I should study? - 3-24-2022 - 05-28-2022
In a lot of spiritual traditions, the place of birth of a human and the day they pass away, along with where their body is buried is significant.
The reasoning is that a place of birth is where they incarnate.
Whether it is the tomb/grave of Napoleon, Socrates, Plato, Confucius, Douglas Macarthur, William Shakespeare, Ho Chi Minh, Joan of Arc, Nizamuddin, Gandhi or some famous politician/musician/inventor/religious figure I am always trying to find where they are born and when/where they passed away and where they are buried. Some locations even become religious shrines such as the tomb of Nizamuddin.
Even living celebrities I sometimes research. Recently one of the co-founders of the band Depeche Mode, Andy Fletcher passed away. This made me feel old and not very sad but mildly disappointed as I like their music, but curious again about this topic as I'm running out of ideas of who to look up.
Who are you curious about?
Who do you think is worth researching to figure out where they were born?

An example would be the birth of Edgar Cayce and Douglas Macarthur, both born in the same time period in the American South. Edgar Cayce passed in January 1945 shortly before the end of WW2.
Your guy Jobe Higgins:
BIRTH 13 Sep 1890
DEATH 5 Dec 1954 (aged 64)
BURIAL
First United Methodist Church Cemetery
Sylvan Springs, Jefferson County, Alabama, USA

Kind of parallel to three people I think have interesting birth dates:
Douglas MacArthur, (born January 26, 1880, Little Rock, Arkansas
passed away 5 April 1964 (aged 84) in Washington, USA
Edgar Cayce born March 18, 1877 Hopkinsville, Kentucky
Passed away January 3, 1945 (aged 67)
Virginia Beach, Virginia, U.S
Carl Jung
Born Karl Gustav Jung
26 July 1875
Kesswil, Thurgau, Switzerland
Died 6 June 1961 (aged 85)
Küsnacht, Zürich, Switzerland
These three people were born around the same time, but lived during the same time period. Edgar Cayce passed 1945, but both Carl Jung and Macarthur passed around the time John F Kennedy passed away.
I am simply researching a wide variety of historical figures to see if any cities appear significant as for where people were born or if there is something unique about different people.
An example is Pope Francis, the first Pope to have been born in the Southern Hemisphere, and the first born from outside of Europe since the 8th century out of a lineage of 266 popes.
Through studying the Vietnamese religion of Cao Dai which was started by Taoist, Confucian, and Buddhist philosophy, a belief they have is that a person should be born where they incarnate to keep their energy, which appears to be exactly how Edgar Cayce was born in Hopkinsville, and whose grave is in Hopkinsville.
Edit:
Seems unlikely this was the same person you were referring to unless you're much older than I'm assuming. There has to be some information available about whoever you're mentioning.

What's about the members of the channeling team?
Simply start with "Carla L. Rückert born 16. July 1943 in Lake Forest, Illinois".
I am curious what you will find out ?

That is a good point, I will look in to it more tomorrow.

This chart listing generations is kind of interesting, I thought "Greatest Generation" a term I used to hear on history shows meant "Boomer" generation but refers to 1901-1927. She is part of the Silent generation.

I think Immanuel Kant is another example I've heard of.
He was a famous philosopher. It has been pointed out that he is not known to have travelled at all outside of the town he was born in, and it is where he passed away and is buried. I understand that most people did not travel very far back then, but it is a noteworthy example. I am not very familiar with his work but in philosophy he is famous. According to the wikipedia page he was moved to a mausoleum after 1878
Born 22 April 1724
Königsberg, Kingdom of Prussia
(present-day Kaliningrad, Russia)
Died 12 February 1804 (aged 79)
Königsberg, East Prussia, Kingdom of Prussia

Jim McCarty was born on May 10, 1947 in Kearney, Nebraska
Don Elkins was born in Louisville, Kentucky in 1930
Interesting that he was born where the Law of One was written while Carla and Jim were from other states.
Remember the idea. The place you were born is like writing a signature.
Also learned something new
When his body was transferred to a new burial spot, his skull was measured during the exhumation and found to be larger than the average German male's with a "high and broad" forehead.[96] His forehead has been an object of interest ever since it became well-known through his portraits: "In Döbler's portrait and in Kiefer's faithful if expressionistic reproduction of it—as well as in many of the other late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century portraits of Kant—the forehead is remarkably large and decidedly retreating. Was Kant's forehead shaped this way in these images because he was a philosopher, or, to follow the implications of Lavater's system, was he a philosopher because of the intellectual acuity manifested by his forehead? Kant and Johann Kaspar Lavater were correspondents on theological matters, and Lavater refers to Kant in his work "Physiognomic Fragments, for the Education of Human Knowledge and Love of People" (Leipzig & Winterthur, 1775–1778).[97]
