Reincarnation

[Nita]

Hello Everybody
I am looking for other experiences with reincarnation. I had my first experience when I was 16 years old. Two people were assigned to do a group subject in sociology in high school. My friend and I were assigned the paranormal.
We had both had experiences but wanted to do something different. My friend found out about a couple who were testing people for Duke University. They were happy to see us.
I tested out as a highly functioning precognitive clairvoyant. They then asked if we would be willing to be hypnotized for research into reincarnation. I said OK and was amazed when I came too again. I went into a really deep state and actually spoke Mongolian. It was an ancient form of it and I had a lifetime as a mongol warrior. They used me in their book and I remembered the memories of that lifetime.
The last thing they said was for me to remember everything I did on the different planes and have my conscious and subconscious minds work together. It has been a blessing for the rest of my life.
I do remember things better and connect to other energies better ever since that time. I realized what I had been doing for most of my life with my mental self and astral self.

I recently had a flashback to a previous life in which I was a concert violinist.  I also taught children how to play the violin.  I felt I should have the desire to play that instrument, but choose the electric organ.  I do love to listen to violin tapes however.  I was born into a musical family.  My father was a church organist and was a general musician.  My mother was a professional singer and whisler.  At age 15 she sang with the Handel and Hayden society in Boston.

I had a great grandfather that made violins.  We had one of them in our house.  I was kind of fascinated by it and often played with it, but other things caught my interest, sports, girls, etc.

I took voice lessons when I was in high school.  My teacher was a college professor.  He said that he thought he could get me a schlorship to a conservatory of music if I wanted it.  I didn't follow up on that.  I perhaps should have, because I believe that one is born through parents that will provide the appropriate environment for one's spiritual growth and development.  

It's strange, but when I performed musically in public I had no fear.  However, when it came to public speaking, I was terrified.  I had to take a public speaking course to get over it.

In respect to the past life of a concert violinist, I visualized a particular year, 1888, and projected myself back to that time with the intent of finding out who I was at that time.  It seemed to be quite easy to do.  I haven't done that again since then.  I will have to do some more exploring.  What one finds has to be looked at objectivly.  It could be very disturbing emotionally if one comes upon a character of disrepute.

I had a friend that told me that in a past life his mother was a prostitute, and she would send him into the street as a boy to bring men to her.  He didn't feel badly about that because the times were bad and many people were doing things like that to survive.

I have not done this yet, but I have thought of returning to that particular life and learning what wisdom I accumulated that I might apply in this life, that might be helpful in moving along the narrow path.

As Adrian mentioned in Our Ultimate Reality, we create it.  It takes a great effort to put the ego to one side to accept that idea.  "According to your belief, so be it unto you."

Hello Robroy
It is good to hear from you again. I admit that the mongol lifetime was a shocker to me. I wonder if that is where my love of riding motorcycles and horses comes from in this lifetime.
You are correct in that you get all of the reasons and things you learned along with the memories.

I never knew my great-great-grandfather. He died in the early 1900s. He was an introvertic poet. My family managed to preserve a couple of his journals, absolutely packed with writing. I've also wrote poetry and was very interested in reading his. After reading, his personality, his writing style, and even the things he wrote about are almost a mirror imagine to mine. A mirror image, except for the fact that they are a considerably less spiritually evolved version of my outlooks on life. For example, he wrote that he believed people created religion because they were afraid of death. I did and do believe this still to be a truth, even though I know now that "death" is nothing to be feared. But there are still many people in the world that DO fear death, and strap on tightly to a dogmatic religion purely because of their fear of death.

He sounded like a less evolved version of myself. I now believe that there is a very good chance that I was my great-great grandfather.
