The World Beyond and Past Lives

The concept of reincarnation, dating back some 3,000 years or more, is a fascinating belief that suggests our spirits or souls continue to live on. Having had personal experiences with spirits and being attuned to the world beyond, I am inclined to believe in this idea. It is also believed that in each life, we may encounter people who were once familiar to us in a previous life. I have a theory that meeting our soul mates could be a result of this phenomenon, where we reunite with someone we loved in a past life. This concept is truly intriguing. How can we determine or recognize the signs that may provide insight into this?

Déjà vu is a common phenomenon where individuals feel like they have already experienced their current situation in the past. This eerie sensation often leaves people feeling certain that they have been in the same place before, even though they cannot recall when.

The state of New York contains a residence that, if it remains standing, holds significance to my personal history. During multiple trips to the area, I have encountered this house, each time feeling a strong connection to it. It is possible that in the future, I will have the opportunity to uncover more about its past. In various other locations I have visited, there have been instances where a voice, seemingly familiar, has whispered my name in my ear. Trust in these experiences, do not question them.

Unusual recollections of events not typically linked to our current existence. Despite this, we experience a sense of familiarity and question the reason behind it. These memories could possibly stem from a past life. The confusion is heightened for me due to my parents' relocation during WWII, which may have altered my own destiny. I suspect I may have lived in Latvia before. Nevertheless, the most intense recollections of past experiences come from my time in the United States.

Dreams and Nightmares

We each possess aspirations and sometimes encounter distressing dreams. Nightmares, although unpleasant, could simply be recollections of past upsetting events or experiences from a previous life. I have had incredibly vivid dreams, and the ones that linger in our memory are usually the most impactful. While residing in New York City, there were instances when I dreamt of specific scenarios and attempted to recreate them in reality, such as locating a street resembling the one in my dream. Have I achieved success? Yes, on a few occasions.

Fears and Phobia

Our fears and phobias may be rooted in past experiences that we have encountered. I used to believe that my fear of heights was inherited from my grandmother, who also had a fear of heights. While that is a plausible explanation, it is also possible that a past life experience involving a height-related incident has contributed to my irrational fear.

I have always wondered about one particular dream I had a very long time ago. Could I have known the memorable actor Clark Gable in a past life?

Finding Clark Gable

I firmly believe that the dreams we remember in vivid detail are the ones that hold significance and should be documented. Throughout my life, I have experienced a few such dreams that I can still recall today, all of which I have recorded in my journals. During the era when Clark Gable captured the hearts of many as Rhett Butler in Gone with the Wind, he had one true love in his life - actress Carol Lombard. Unfortunately, Lombard's life was cut short in a tragic plane crash in 1944 at the young age of 33, leaving Gable devastated by the loss.

In 1957, I came into existence. Years later, when I was in high school I had a memorable dream. I pondered over this dream for quite some time, eventually considering the possibility that I could be the reincarnation of someone connected to Clark Gable. During my twenties, I even took acting lessons, feeling a pull towards pursuing an acting career. The story of my dream remains a mystery, leaving the interpretation up to you.

I dreamt that there was something going on outside. It was like an earthquake or something like that. I was supposedly in San Francisco in one of those narrow-row houses. I ran outside and saw this big mushroom-like cloud somewhere in the distance. Some houses were standing and some weren’t the streets were a mess and people were running everywhere. I started hurrying along the street as if I knew where I was going. I walked up to this row house which had many people in it and most of them were standing in a long hallway. I walked in there and entered this crowded room and was looking for someone. Then I saw Gable and knew that he was the one I was looking for. He saw me and pushed his way over to me and was really glad to see me. Then we put our arms around each other and walked outside on down the street.

Contacting Elvis Beyond the Grave

Some strange occurrences have been happening lately which I know sometimes occur when the seasons change. It is usually a time when you can best get in contact with the world beyond. There are those who believe and those who don’t it all depends on your own point of view. It did remind me of an incident that happened in my life when I was still living in New York.

It was odd indeed and perhaps there will be those of you who might think that I imagined it all but I do have a sixth sense and have had previous experiences with the paranormal. This was around a year after Elvis had passed on. I was spending a quiet evening alone. My mom had gone to visit some of her friends and I was listening to Elvis records. There I was sitting and thinking about how sad it was that Elvis was no longer among the living. One of the songs I was playing had words about loneliness and understanding. I sort of said aloud that I understood how Elvis must have felt at times when the world seemed to be closing in on him. With time I remembered the song and it was “I’m So Lonely I Could Cry.”

It was after this moment that the lights sort of flickered in the room and I suddenly noticed that the record kept repeating itself on those words of loneliness and understanding. Well of course at first I sighed thinking that the record had a scratch in it. So I took off the needle and cleaned it up and put that same song on once more. Deep in thought it stopped right at that point again and repeated several times. Well, I took off the record this time and wiped it clean and for the life of me, I couldn’t see any scratches. So I looked up and sort of said Elvis are you trying to tell me something? The lights flickered.

Well having already seen some strange things in my life I didn’t let it phase me. I mean who would have if they had contacted Elvis? So I carefully put the record on once more and again the needle stopped at that one point and the lights flickered some more. So I sort of shook my head and I looked up and I said at least we understand each other Elvis. Suddenly the table lamp that had been on but was not too bright became quite bright and then returned to normal. It got me to thinking so I did the logical thing because it seemed as though our contact was through. I put that song on one more time and it played through with no stopping whatsoever. In fact, after that whenever I listened to that record again there was never any interruption again ever.

The lines that kept repeating? In case you're curious. I no longer have the record it remained with my stepdaughter in Latvia but I remember that feeling and that night and even as I listen to this song on YouTube now I get shivers hearing these words –

“And as I wonder where you are

I'm so lonesome I could cry”

Living On

I must also mention that a close friend whom I cherished deeply has provided me with ample evidence of the existence he now experiences in the afterlife. Despite his previous claims that there is no such thing and that life ends with death, he appeared to me once while I was in a state between sleep and wakefulness. In that moment, he bid me a beautiful farewell with a kiss. I distinctly felt his kiss on my lips and recognized it as his. It seems that he has some contemplations about the continuation of his spiritual existence. In a dream, I learned of his passing through a voicemail message. However, he later reached out to me to express his disappointment that I believed he had passed away, as he assured me that he is very much alive. The interpretation of these messages may vary, but I am comforted by the knowledge that he endures beyond this life, and I will always hold him dear in my heart.

As a Reminder

My life had changed greatly and I found myself living alone for the first time in my life. Settled in Florida with two cats one day my mood was rather low. This same friend I mentioned above wanted to be sure I remembered that he lived on and therefore in some way could help me from the spirit world. At night while dreaming he came to me in my dream and simply said, “I am alive”. I thought thank you, friend for reminding me so I can send my thoughts to you and get comfort.

Birthmarks

There are many other different things that might prove that there is reincarnation. One more interesting thing is birthmarks. They say that there is evidence which shows that these might be part of the evidence. One story refers to an Indian boy who claimed that he remembered his life as a man known as Maha Ram. It was discovered that there was such a man once who was killed by a shotgun blast to the chest and the boy had birthmarks in the middle of his chest that could correspond to a shotgun blast. I for one have an interesting row of birthmarks five all neatly in a row on my left upper arm which resemble the Milky Way. They could also refer to something from my past life.

A Friend's Suicide

Not being an expert on any of this just going by what I do know, have felt, have seen, and have heard suicide is a troublesome thing. I feel that the Lord has compassion for many things and that even some suicides perhaps can be truly justified and with time up above forgiven, At least I would hope so. Anyway, a very close friend from my teenage years always kept in close touch with me and assured me he would be there and we could laugh in our old age about all the things we had gone through. Then one day I found out he took his own life. Soon after that for quite a number of nights, I would dream he was calling me on the phone like he always did. I would hear the phone ringing, I would pick it up, and I would shout, “Are you there?”

The thing is that in my dream I knew it was him, I knew he wanted to tell me what had happened, and I also knew that he wanted to let me know his spirit lived on. We never got connected but I do hope he has been forgiven and that his spirit has found the peace he seeked. I have seen him in dreams now and then and for now that has to be enough.

So even if you have your doubts open up your mind to the possibilities and see what you can discover about yourself and past lives.
