In all honesty, Optimystic, here is what I see...

It starts with you in a very ancient time, I mean wearing skins kind of time. It feels to me not like an indigenous people thing, you know like indians or aborigines (sorry, don't feel like looking up the spelling, so all mispelled words are what they are) but more like beyond ancient times. I see you simply crouched at a pool of water drinking with your hands, the sky is blue and the air feels good. You feel content and at one with where you are and you appear to be giving thanks, looking toward the sky. I can't emphasize enough that feeling of life and connection to it. It reminds me of a time I visited "the beginning of time" with a friend, so I wonder actually if you are truly there or just visiting (ok, ok, so maybe we're all just visiting). There is an area nearby where there is agression, I see it in the form of an assult on you. I suppose it could have been some sort of primitive weapon or spear, and it came from a place that was hidden, like a cave, but that is just what I'm supposing, as I see it in the form of energy coming from an enclosed place. Instead of being damaged by it you, metaphorically speaking of course, simply became surrounded by an energy, like a pod, or if you like science fiction, a teleportation device, lol, and through this energy you appeared in a different time, this one appearing to be a very busy heavily populated place, like a marketplace in very very early france. You seemed to fit in well here too, whistling as you walked. Observing.

I'm not getting any particulars on specific lives, rather what I'm understanding from this is that it is easy for you to move between times and places, you dont' think linearly, but find it easy to move from one place to another skipping all the stuff other people need in between. You have a reverence for life but don't always live up to your own expectations, you transport out instead of living the tough parts. You know you don't have to. I was reminded of something about the guardian of your soul, now let me see if i can get it back, lol, too much information. The guardian of your soul remembers. Patience is easy when it comes to little things, but the ones you want to know about are elusive because might outweighs truth. (OK, that makes no sense to me, lol) Think of it this way, you are trying to become what you are, so you don't have to work at it. If you wanted to become what you weren't it would take lots and lots of work to be similar to what it was you were trying to be...yet in truth, it wasn't allowed to happen because you aren't that. So what you're doing is hard work...it's a lot heavier than truth. (Well, ok, that's starting to make sense in an odd sort of way...but needs an interpreter.......so mage, ya better wake up now...i need an interpreter)

Enough of that...

lets just say there's something about being in places that you don't have to be, you just go there to see what it is that attracts others there.

"lmao optimystic, you do what I do... lol I never live in the moment, I live to travel time and space.... lol

your whole past life span reflects that too....

you have many. many past lives... ( i see them as glowing stars in the night sky ) and each time I touch one.... i get flashs... as if you lived that life, but were not always fully a part of it.....its like being alive but your conscious and sub conscious were separate.... like having ya conscious in japan in 1863, your sub conscious in italy in 1720... and ya body in France in 1921

I don't know if you follow a shamanic type existence now... but yeah I am seeing a lot of shamanic type activities
like human to animal mental transference... you appear a lot as a human mind in a grey wolf.....

as a person you are not what I type as * human * earth and rule bound ....lol......if you think of fairies dancing in the garden, you live past lives like that, and the constant giggling and laughter is interesting... its like watching a child playing
they are not aware that there have to be issues and problems, headaches and hinderance.... to children, its a game, a fun game... and I love that approach

the words * there is no absolute * are running thru my head....
you don't just have a * issue * with god.... it covers a number of faiths and religions....
in a few past lives, you were killed for asking * why ?? *... not why do we follow this path, but why must it be this way.... is there not more to it
now its not a problem * issue *.... its more like a * sorry but i don't accept the condensed version, give me all the books and let me decide for myself *

i am curious optimystic.... who are you in the scheme of things ??? pirate, student, monk, academic, begger, cleaning lady...you have covered most lives.....in the path of a learner and thinker, a traveler and drifter

in 1816 you wrote a set of works that don't exist in this day and age.... but the very nature of them would turn a lot of concepts underside down... now in that life you died mentally ill, and your works were discarded as the ramblings of a fool...but the true reason was fear of what you wrote....and in a way, I see you as searching for the * lost works * again......
its a fools search.... how can a person find the truth out in the world, when the truth exists inside the person who wrote about the truth

back in 1224 AD....you and me were at a area where some * non religion * believers were put to death ..... and you whispered, " how can any beliefs be wrong.....if we still don't know the truth "

as i sit here trying to really get a understanding of your past lives... its like you come rushing past, mumbling :" i'm late, i'm late, for a very important date "

"Magelling,
David, Opti, asked me to look over the board here about his past lives. I have to agree with you, he has had several, and if there is anyone who I would say, doesnt' have to come back, its him. His talents supercede many here, and many I know, and yes, he can be the shamanistic person if he so desires it now. I totally agree. He has the ability for many many gifts, unknown to many here, and he will not come forth and admit it. I have told him on several occasions, "if there is anyone I know that is an old soul, and yet so young, its him." He could give you words of wisdom that you may expect to come from an elder, yet, when someone would know his age, they would dismiss him because of that prejudice. He will come into his own, and own it well around 30 in this life. His last life, was cut short, by war, a recent one, and I don't want to disclose what I saw. If he so desires to speak of it and share with others he can. I saw him in many lives, and one we spent together, as french soldiers, lol, he can elaborate on this one! He has had many lives as a soldier, in many different formats, and he has done and experienced it all. He brought many abilities to this life, one of them, is writing, and writing rather well. So no surprise to find he was a writer in another life.

My own abilities to see past lives is usually limited by what is important and has to deal with at the immediate moments of the experience we are now going through. Interestingly enough, I always find it fascinating when I connect well with someone, only to discover, there is a reason behind it, usually, because a life was lived before as either friends, lovers, companions, soldiers etc...No, david and I werent lovers, lol, but we did experience times together. He has helped me with visions of things I have seen of my own life, and yet, not knowing the meaning of it all. Funny, one week, we had been discussing some of my ramblings, and after we did, I happen to catch something late night on the history channel that we had discussed. What amazed me was to realize that I knew they had some of the history right, but yet, some of it wrong! ( this had to do with egypt) David, in his vast knowledge he carries with him, explained to me earlier what I had seen in my own visions, which after the show I had seen, all began to make perfect sense.
It will be interesting to see if others can connect with his lives, and see, if some of our discoveries match up.
