Climbing the Stairs

I have memories of ancient Egypt. It seems that I was at that time a High Priestess of the Goddess Isis. And I remember some things about the culture in general – magic was a large part of everyday life (both protecting from, and giving, misfortune and for health, wealth, etc.). I also have memories of my death in that life. Meeting the boatman who rowed me across the river to the next world.

Apparently I spent a good deal of my lives in the Far East. I have brief memories of several short lives as a pretty wild swordsman (a bit like the old west), and then being an old man and then a “geisha” (a prostitute in the little town that I lived in, where I also remember that I was stabbed to death by one of my clients).

From there I have memories of being a monk in the French Alps. We were very poor at the monastery, but I was quite plump. The head Abbott considered me a troublemaker because I was so interested in spirituality. I remember blessing peasants on the road as I roamed through the countryside. I think that I also had a life in sophisticated Paris as a young woman trying to be an artist (I was pretty bad.) But I don’t have any strong memories of that time.

I also have some general feelings about some lives I had as a Native American before the invasion of the white man. And also a life in ancient Grecian times in some no-name small town where we suffered an “inferiority complex,” being so far out of the way as it were. No clear memories, but just a kind of knowledge that I was there. These types of memories are more like the kinds of memories that one has of ones childhood - you might not be able to picture an actual event but yet you know it happened and what the situation was.

I don’t consider it to be my job to make people believe me or in reincarnation in general. I have memories, so the reality of the situation is evident to me. But if anything, perhaps a few people who would have dismissed it out of hand might not be so ready to ditch the whole idea of reincarnation if some of us speak out occasionally.
