I was told I was a high-ranking Roman soldier, so maybe we served together!
I enjoy these past life threads, as people always come up with such interesting things about how certain times in history seem to call to them. I'm usually skeptical when I hear someone tell me they were some historical figure or person of great wealth and power in a past life, but when someone tells me they were a fisherman or a serving wench in a previous incarnation, then I start to listen.
I've been fortunate to have undergone two past life regressions (PLR) under hypnosis and also attended a class on PLR given by Anne Middleton, a noted regressionist in Colorado. In the class I was told by another student who was regressing me that I was a Blackfoot Indian who lived in the early 1800's. The description she gave of me in that life was almost exactly like the painting done by the Swiss painter, Karl Bodmer, of the Mandan chief Four Bears--a painting that fascinated me as a child whenever I saw it in my Golden Book of Indians. The woman doing the regression also described me in that life as looking like Mel Gibson in Braveheart with my face painted in different colors. Here's a copy of Bodmer's painting:

Note the painted face. This particular portrait was done in 1834, so it could easily fit within the timeline of my PLR. I also did some research and discovered that both the Mandan and the Blackfoot tribes lived in close vicinity of each other (mainly in western Montana.) Maybe that would explain why I left a high paying job with MCI in Denver and moved to North Idaho on whim. All I can say is that I've literally traveled to the four corners of the earth and have never felt more comfortable living anywhere as much as I have here. Perhaps it's because I've finally come home . . .
little_light, I know what you mean. I used to travel extensively to Kenya and fell in love with the place! There was something about it that was so familiar, like I was back home again whenever the landing gear touched down at the airport in Nairobi.
juliet_keller, I took Latin my freshman year in high school and just loved it! I'll never forget the time I was taking a weekly quiz and the end of the test there was a bonus question where you had to fill in the blanks on a time line with 15 different events in Roman history. Of course, I had no idea what the correct answers were, so I just randomly filled in the blanks hoping I'd get one or two right for extra credit. Imagine my surprise when I got my test back and discovered I had filled in the blanks in correct chronological order--all 15 of them! What are the odds of that happening? I guess it would be easy if I'd lived during that time
bathory313, I relived a past life as a Roman centurion in Carthage under Scipo Africanus during my second PLR under hypnosis. Maybe we were stationed together
