Just Old Souls Reborn
Do you know how often I’ve spooked people by stealing their thoughts? Where the very sentence forming in their minds comes out of my mouth? (My wife's, in particular). I have often visualized things I wanted and knew where to get them. Perfect example was the candle snuffer. Nobody seemed to stock them but suddenly I just knew to visit our local Value Village Thrift store for it. “It is there,” I remarked as the knowing hit me.
My wife was not convinced. “You could probably wait a thousand years” she said “for something so obscure to be at any Value Village, let alone the one down the road.” Well she had to pick her chin up off the floor when I walked straight up to where it hung on the wall. Yup, I do that a lot, sometimes wondering if I was a magician or a mystic in a former life. Some have called me a shaman.
Former lives? Many of us believe in past lives. I do. The eerie feeling of seeing a picture, smelling a particular aroma or hearing a certain sound and visions or feelings of being there, done that, sometimes surface. The old déjà vu principle.
While researching my next book, tentatively titled The Mystery Of Ms. Teak, I again trusted my intuition and walked into the local bookstore, knowing that the first book I touched would be invaluable. Past Life Regression by Ursula Markham, a registered hypnotherapist from London. Some of her experiences have helped many people overcome some severe phobias or attitudes that aren't effective in their lives.
"Write like your soul is on fire and the pencil is your voice screaming."
I'd like to share a couple of examples with you:
A fifteen-year-old boy who wouldn't answer any questions was getting picked on by his schoolmates calling him stupid and simple, but his school marks showed otherwise. Ursula regressed him to find out that in his last lifetime he claimed to be an American pilot, shot down and captured by the Nazis in the Second World War. He would only give his name, rank and serial number and was killed during interrogation. This explained why the boy wouldn't answer any direct questions. She wrote to the American authorities and found out that pilot was indeed real and listed as missing-in-action at thirty-two years of age during the war. I need to add here that this was in the late sixties, so him finding this information would be impossible with no internet. She helped the boy overcome this fear and make his life better.
Ursula regressed an anorexic woman. In her past lifetime, she'd been a male gangster, who abused women, killed and beat up a lot of people, sold drugs; was a completely evil man. He eventually became a very rich and overweight person, dying of obesity.
Another strange case of a man claiming to dream of being in the navy. When he was regressed, he had accurate knowledge of how English navy ships operated in the 1600's. Information so accurate she recorded them. This drew the interest of Lord Mountbatten and he played the recordings to naval experts, which reported back that not only was the information accurate, but that some of that knowledge had been lost.
"You don’t have to be mad to be a writer, but it sure helps."
How does one begin to rationalize this? They say we often come back to learn some lesson for our soul’s growth. I believe the soul is eternal and goes through much evolution before it ascends to another place, be that heaven, nirvana or the fourth dimension. Others claim that the cells retain memory of our past lives or of our human existence. Yup, woo-woo stuff. Now if I could just predict the next set of lottery numbers… Come on winning numbers.

Such an interesting post and with a subject that I believe in and have witnessed first-hand myself when undergone a regression some years ago. Thank you, Frank for sharing this. Good to know there are others out there who believe as well.
