BRIAN WEISS COM = REINCARNATION and PAST LIFE RESEARCH and BOOKS 

A Quote from this psychotherapist who has devoted his life to investigating past lives of patients and brought the discussion of reincarnation forward.

'You are not here by accident or by some coincidence of nature.  You are a spiritual being learning lessons of love in this earth school.'

SEEING THE PICTURE IN BLACK AND WHITE GAVE ME A SHOCK OF RECOGNITION

During one of my forays into tracing an ancestor, I went to a famous art library which happens to have some excellent genealogy resources.  Based on a translation, I wanted books about one of the "German Towns" in a country outside Germany. 

For those of you who don't know, Germans migrated out of Germany for hundreds of years with the understanding that they would always be Germans and welcomed back. 

There were rather strict rules about who inherited the family farm, usually the youngest son who would also stay to take care of his elderly parents. As families were generally large there were many Germans who left what would become unified nation-states and became Germany to go to other countries to establish life there based in economic need.  Generally Germans were welcome in other countries, including the United States, and were invited to settle because they were thought to be industrious.

So I began to page through the books looking at old black and white photos of these settlements. Then as I turned the page of a particular book and saw the photo of a large building and a road going past it, I was struck with a shiver of recognition.  None of the other photographs I saw had this effect on me.  

These shivers I call Truth Shivers.  Be it remembering a place from a dream (which might mean having seen it before) or a past life, the shiver made me focus on the time and place of the photo. Was this perhaps the place to next look for the ancestor who was listed on a marriage document as having come from a place with this name.

Forward several years later, I learned that the translation was correct but that another place in another country (much closer to the place the person lived for many years hence) was ALSO given this name. I know that the names of places often come from where the residents left or lived prior to moving. In the United States many settlements are named after places in England, for instance.

Unable to yet establish the person's link with BOTH places, I've let this one rest.  Maybe synchronicity will bring the answer.

MEMORIES OF HEAVEN ; CHILDREN's ASTOUNDING RECOLLECTIONS OF THE TIME BEFORE THEY CAME TO EARTH : Ancestry Worship Geneaology Book Review

MEMORIES OF HEAVEN ; CHILDREN's ASTOUNDING RECOLLECTIONS OF THE TIME BEFORE THEY CAME TO EARTH

by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer and Dee Garnes

(note: Dr. Dyer died a while back but this book was something that he and Dee Garnes were working on before that.  It is a collection of stories sent by parents with some personal introductions by Dyer.)

This book is a lot about angels, of the Christianity type, and there is barely any negativity in it, which means that there is no mention of hell, purgatory, or ghosts who are earthbound, but a lot about ancestors who have passed away who are watching over the child or the family, who the child thinks of as an angel. 

As the subtitle suggests these accounts are about children who remember before they came to earth, and so there is mention of previous lives. Researchers working on pre-life memories, past life memories, and reincarnation like the testimonials of children, because they are far less likely to be tainted with exposure to informative education via school or exposure to media.  It is understood that their level of child development means they are more innocent, and have no reason to lie. (Though we've all met children who tell one made up story after another.)  So these accounts read simply, and have some parental interpretation involved.  For instance some of these parents are astounded that their child is taking about angels, heaven, the spirit, etc. because they have little to no exposure to religion.  Generally by the age of five most children do not seem to remember the spirit world, heaven, their pre-earthly life, other lives, or their once well known reasons for picking their parents/family, reason for coming to earth, or that they have angels.

What this means is that adjustment to this life comes gradually... and I suspect transition to the next may also come gradually as well.

Among the accounts there are children reporting that their mother's previous miscarriages (one child said he tried to come to her three times before), Children alive who know their mother is pregnant with another child before she does,  children whose invisible playmates are actually relatives and friends who have passed over, children who report having been their mother's mother, and Jesus asking a child to pick parents among many couples.

Interesting and an easy read, you'll only feel challenged if you're sure this life is it.

A SHIVER UP THE SPINE WHEN LOOKING AT A PHOTOGRAPH? ANCESTRAL MEMORY?

Have you ever had the experience of looking at a photograph and suddenly feeling a shiver go up your spine?  I have.  That shiver feels like a confirmation of truth somehow, and it certainly makes you pay attention to the photography.  What is it about a scene from another country or time and place that you recognize deeply?

I was researching one of my personal ancestral lines which, according to the marriage record I was looking at, went back to a German town in what was Hungary but is now Romania.  This was one of the towns which, while over hundreds of years was no doubt Hungarian, but the residents kept to German customs too, speaking both languages, building houses, wearing clothes, and keeping to customs that were more German.

So I wanted to see some pictures of this town and towns like it.

I went to a famous research institute, the Getty, and before I got there I ordered many books to be bought upstairs for me prior to my arrival.  Not known for genealogy, but for art, the Getty Research Institute still houses MANY books that can be very useful to researchers of family history and genealogy researchers as well as those learning about other cultures and societies for which the expression of creativity is one factor.  In this pile I found two books that were especially informative and interesting and that applied to my personal research.  These books were not available through my large city library or anywhere else I checked.

In one of them there were black and white pictures of this German town. I turned the page to  a simple street scene, and got the shiver up the spine.  None of the other pictures in the book did that to me.  I looked again.  There was something about that curve in the road.

It made me wonder if I was having a moment of ANCESTRAL MEMORY.

The theory of Ancestral Memory is that in our DNA/genes we have memories of things our ancestors have experienced.  In this case we are talking about a GGG.

This is different that Reincarnation Theories that suggest that we might incarnate in the same family, as a descendent of someone we were on earth years prior. 

With Ancestral Memory, all you have is GENETICS, your own body carrying information.  The theory has nothing to do with any spiritual belief.

Let's say that you were born and raised in the United States and identify as All American and really believe in justice and equality for everyone but you still find yourself fearing a certain ethnic group.  (I realize that admitting to such a thing may even be considered not politically correct, yet I hear people say they have such fears!)

My friend Marilyn, who only recently realized that she has German heritage in her ancestry on one side of the family, has since hearing of Germans in childhood, has always felt a little sick to her stomach at the mention of them.  She has never self identified as German and has self identified herself as Polish.  She had of course heard about World War II and the Holocaust, but she had no reason to believe that her own family heritage was any part of that.  Marilyn hated it when she learned she was genetically partly German, but she also felt there was no logic to it.  After some in depth research and interviewing family members and then reading around the history of the places they came from,  Marilyn learned that one of her ancestors had been taken from his house by German soldiers and had never been heard from again.  He was not Jewish.  This happened before World War II. When she got some photos of the town where this happened, she began to have a strong sense of having been there, of recognition.  Marilyn does not believe in reincarnation but she now believes that her fear is the fear of this ancestor.
