Just
An Old Soul
Do you know how often I’ve spooked people
by stealing their thoughts? Where the very sentence forming in their minds
comes out of my mouth? (My wife's, in
particular). I have often visualized things I wanted and knew where to get
them. Perfect example was the candle snuffer. Nobody seemed to stock them but
suddenly I just knew to visit our local Value Village. My wife was not
convinced. “You could probably wait a thousand years” she says “for something
so obscure to be at any Value Village, let alone the one down the road”. Well
she had to pick her chin up off the floor when I walked straight up to where it
hung on the wall. Yup, I do that a lot, sometimes wondering if I was a magician
or a mystic in a former life. Some have called me a shaman.
Former lives? Many of us believe in past
lives. I do. The eerie feeling of seeing a picture, smelling a particular aroma
or hearing a certain sound and visions or feelings of being there, done that,
sometimes surface. The old déjà vu principle.
While researching my next book, tentatively
entitled, "Agnes? Who The Eff Is Agnes?", I again trusted my
intuition and walked into the local bookstore, knowing that the first book I
touched would be invaluable. 'Past Life Regression' by Ursula Markham, a
registered hypno-therapist from London. Some of her experiences have helped
many people overcome some severe phobias or attitudes that aren't effective in
their lives.
A couple of examples: a fifteen-year-old
boy who wouldn't answer any questions was getting picked on by his schoolmate,s
calling him stupid and simple, but his school marks showed otherwise. Ursula
regressed him to find out that in his last lifetime he claimed to be an
American pilot, shot down and captured by the Nazis in the Second World War. He
would only give his name, rank and serial number and was killed during
interrogation. This explained why the boy wouldn't answer any direct questions.
She wrote to the American authorities and found out that pilot was indeed real
and listed as missing-in-action at thirty-two years of age during the war. I
need to add here that this was in the late sixties, so him finding this
information would be impossible with no internet. She helped the boy overcome
this fear and make his life better.
Ursula regressed an anorexic woman. In her
past lifetime, she'd been a male gangster, who abused women, killed and beat up
a lot of people, sold drugs; was a completely evil man. He eventually became a
very rich and overweight person, dying of obesity.
Another strange case of a man claiming to
dream of being in the navy. When he was regressed, he had accurate knowledge of
how English navy ships operated in the 1600's. Information so accurate she
recorded them. This drew the interest of
Lord Mountbatten and he played the recordings to naval experts, which reported
back that not only was the information accurate, but that some of that knowledge
had been lost.
How does one begin to rationalize this?
They say we often come back to learn some lesson for our soul’s growth. I
believe the soul is eternal and goes through much evolution before it ascends
to another place, be that heaven, nirvana or the fourth dimension. Others claim that the cells retain memory of
our past lives or of our human existence. Yup, woo-woo stuff. Now if I could
just predict the next set of lottery numbers…
See you next month (which might well be
written on the beach in Hawaii!).

Writer by soul. Words born within.
Karma, the seed. Paper, the medium.
Pen, the muse. Novels, the fire.
Frank Talaber’s Writing Style? He usually
responds with: Mix Dan Millman (Way of The Peaceful Warrior) with Charles De
Lint (Moonheart) and throw in a mad scattering of Tom Robbins (Even Cowgirls
Get The Blues).
PS: He’s better looking than Stephen King
(Carrie, The Stand, It, The Shining) and his romantic stuff will have you
gasping quicker than Robert James Waller (Bridges Of Madison County).
Or as is often said: You don’t have to be
mad to be a writer, but it sure helps.
