Reincarnated?

[Monica]

Ever since reading David Wilcock's account of having been Edgar Cayce, and seeing the pictures of the people in his current life compared to those in Cayce's, I have found the idea fascinating, and can't help but wonder about public figures and imagine whom they might have been before. No doubt, the majority of all our lives have been as nameless peasants who never made the history books, but sometimes it's interesting to wonder if some public figures were similar public figures before. Are they repeating the same pattern?

Somewhere in our library is a book about historical figures reincarnated, but I don't remember the title offhand. The book made the case that the past lives of public figures could be determined by facial features. I tend to think that, while that may be true in some cases, it's not so much the facial characteristics that get passed on from one lifetime to the next, but some other, intangible essence of the person.

It is this essence that I can't quite describe, but have used to make these guess. This is all just for fun! I have nothing but a silly notion that these people might be the historical personalities I've connected them to.

Do you have any guesses? And why?

Here are mine:


Jefferson = Ron Paul
The why: Same fierce dedication to liberty for our country. Same ideals, same ability to explain concepts. And, there's even a passable physical resemblance as well: This little-known portrait bears more resemblance to Ron Paul than the more famous ones. Check out the nose and the eyebrows!

Jefferson's wife (the pic that pops out) - Ron Paul's wife

FDR = Rick Santorum
The why: I have no idea what FDR was like (I never paid attention to history) but they sure do look uncannily alike.

James Polk and his wife = GW and Laura Bush
The why: My husband just read to me an excerpt from a book about President James Polk - her personality, interests, demeanor, and style as president. We both immediately realized it sounded exactly like Bush! Then we looked up the pictures. They don't look so much alike, but there was a certain quality about them that made us think it was true.

Einstein = Nassim Haramein
The why: Nassim may have completed Einstein's work...solving the unsolved equations, and working to use the knowledge for good, thus balancing the misuse of Einstein's previous work. And, every time I see a picture of Einstein I think of Nassim!

These are just musings, just for fun!
