Earned Respect

[PastPilot]

There is something I have wondered about for a long time. You meet someone for the first time and you will often have an instant feeling about that person. It can be a good feeling or a bad feeling. What is this based upon?

I have memories of having been in the First Crusades. I survived to see the fall of Jerusalem and the following battles and I was part of the garrisons that were formed afterward. I noticed that a number of my close friends have a keen interest in the Crusades in general, which I assume is because we lived and fought together during that life during that period of history. We were brethren in that past life. When you meet someone who, say, also lived and fought in the First Crusade but were not part of your inner circle and were not connected with you other than having been in the First Crusade, do you pick up on this that they too were at one time brethren? Can you get a sense of comradery, or even disdain from another soul merely by such past life associations? Do you feel such impulses?

You may have had a past life with the person and you are getting a feeling of recognition.
I feel your instincts are telling you one thing but you are not Listening to it.always trust your instincts it will never let you down.
Have you thought of going for past life regression?this could give you the answers.

If both people are in tune with there “spiritual side” then yes it is very possible to sense or even recall past moments where the two had been by each others side wether it be in battle or just as a friend or even a old man passing by on a street saying a single sentence of wisdom.

Also could be possible you are reading their current energetic body and that may be giving you feelings wether or not to like this person but like most things energetic body’s can be influenced and changed without it appearing modified even though some people seem do reman in denial of this aspect

Or be something that I have missed that someone else may share...

I can very much relate to this. I understand. In my past life i was Jesus Christ. I was at the supermarket a few months ago and saw Peter (one of my disciples in the past). So i came upon thee. And said: "why have you forsaken me?" At first he was confused then i saw fear in his eyes. There must have been some remembrance of the past. So i slapped him right across the face then called him a coward and just left.

I believe everything moves on a pattern, and people move along it to. We can't help but bump in to people that we knew at any time, in our childhood, in college, and even in a past life. You know that feeling you get when you run in to someone and you know that you know them, but you just can't place them or remember WHY you know them? That is what your post reminds me of. On a side note- What you are describing sounds fascinating. You know how when someone is lost from a family, everyone says they wish they had asked them to tell more family stories for history sake. You really should write down your memories, the details, so that they can be remembered as history.

It is possible to get a feeling of recognition from a soul you may meet in your travels when that person has shared past life, or lives, or is part of your soul circle. It is also possible that you may only meet this person for a fleeting moment, at a meeting, or on a vacation. A coworker I worked with many years back was one of those meetings, but I instantly recognized him. He and I fought and died in the same bomber aircraft during WWII. He was one of my waist gunners. We are still good friends to this day. However, other people I have run into briefly who have impacted me could have been past life souls or just souls who were put in my path to make suggestions or to impart information. We live in a universe structured like a web where all threads interconnect.

I have had many past life memories starting when I was 8 years old. Most have been interesting and informative, only one such past life memory was emotionally upsetting and that includes the many lifetimes where I witnessed my violent deaths. My deaths, despite being extremely violent never bothered me even at the age of 8.

I have gone to have past life regression but almost all have failed to produce much information. I seem to be a hard person to hypnotize. Self-hypnosis or channeling has produced better results, although spontaneous memories triggered by smells, visual sites, specific noises, and dreams, have allowed me to slip into a past life far more often.

My friend ran into someone who also claimed to be Jesus Christ. There are apparently quite a few of you about. My friend asked this fellow what was his given name at birth and the guy replied, "Christopher", which on the surface seemed somewhat innocuous, until he added, "Christopher, which is Christ the First".

I suspect this is right, we cannot but help run into who we have known in the past. I know I have run into many. Some were important while others were no more than a handshake and a few words. It is very complex but also reassuring in many ways that we are indeed never really alone in life.

In this life, I am paying off karma with many of the people I run into. It is often obvious when I meet someone that there is an instant connection. I only wish I knew more of the background to these encounters. Most of these have been good encounters. Only a few have had me retreating to safety.

I was writing down many of my memories and then checking the various history books and online sources to see how accurate my memories actually are. My memories of the First Crusades, especially with the siege of Jerusalem, have proved to be 100% accurate with more information and knowledge than the written history contains. My life in China as a military governor of a small trading town is the same. I know more about the history than the official translated Chinese texts. There was a lot of hidden, covert activities going on that only myself, the inner government circle, and the Emperor knew about.

and life goes on...

Very amusing. Did you find Peter in the frozen fish section? I suspect that if someone confronted me in the supermarket and demanded "Why have you forsaken me?" then I too would be somewhat confused and perhaps even a tad fearful. So when you slapped him across the face, did he turn the other cheek?

Peace
