Ask a person who identifies as femmekin

I believe, everyone has many past lives and one can access memories from them through meditation and self-exploration. ( btw, this is common knowledge in Buddhism, but this isn't topic about that...)

Gender confusion and wanting to be labelled as something else than what society labels you as is something we need to accept in society a lot more than we do. The individuals who go through problems like that need support, otherwise they're going to start forming support groups of their own and going completely insane, claiming that they've lived past lives and that they're aliens in human bodies or whatever.

Complete.. insanity.

I wish you didn't have to go through any of this OP and I have no idea what lead you to these completely insane conclusions about your identity, but if this is what helps you get through life and get over the issues you've had as a child, I suppose all the power to ya. It's just that it's completely crazy and insane.

You're also not meant to obsess over it and interpret your "memories" with caution, especially if you don't really know what you're doing.

"I" lived as a human in USA. Years 1899 - 1983. "I" was in airforce. "I" had a wife and a daughter. I attended church. "My" wife was a journalist and cooked great pancakes. "I" spent most of my life in service, neglecting my family. "I" was trying to invent/engineer some upgrades. "I" flew F-10 and other types of aircraft. "My" grave is located in Nevada. "I" had a good friend of mine from military training in Switzerland. "I" really liked biplanes and parachuting.

This story rings a very distinct bell in my head.

Now, where have I heard it before?

@Rashiminos The answer is in the link, in OP.

a lot of other little things.

What was your name in your past life? If you don't remember, or no person with that name can be found in any records, would it bother you if it were determined that no such person existed on this particular planet in this universe?

As noted by r16, the F-10/F3D was used by the navy, not the air force, and it only entered service in 1951 - I'm not sure how many 52+ year-old fighter pilots there were around the time of the Korean War, but I doubt there were many.

I don't mean to denigrate any subjective mental phenomena you experience, because mental phenomena are interesting in their own right and many people have had past-life experiences. But if objective (or at least consensus) reality conflicts with your past-life experiences, how do you deal with that?

dusters only said that they flew an F10, which is not necessarily the F-10/F3D. I am not knowledgeable about aircraft, but a quick google search brought forward this, which was an aircraft built in 1927, when, in the former life, they were 28.

@dusters: I'm intrigued by the specifics you mentioned about your former life; people I've come across in the past who talk of previous lives they remembered could recall certain events, even insignificant ones, but I've not come across someone who can remember specific details such as years of birth and death. Knowledge of where someone's past self is buried is something I've definitely not encountered before. Could I ask if you know this due to remembering them or is it a case that you remember certain details, have done some research and found someone who matches?

Well I guess the fantasy does explain the trap.

Although this hints at more

Oh, and a question: Blonde or Brunette?

@Boots

I don't remember, but i could try to find out. The thing is, I'm not going to find out more about my past unless it benefits my future. Say - i found out the grave and "my" name and more details. I don't see for now how it could help me live my current life.

I got this all information during meditation and performing automatic writing.

As far as my teachers (in buddhism) have told me, one is given only the information which is useful to him/her. Not to satisfy curiousity or to prove anything to himself/herself or to the other people.

I try to integrate every experience in Here and Now moment. I don't have a pilot's license in this life, nor i plan to get one. Yet I'm all crazy and fancy about planes like many women are crazy about the shoes.

@Rob

I haven't done any research, because i'm sure the information i have got wasn't to satisfy my curiousity, it was to explain things which were very important to me at the time. Hint - I adore Richard Bach's books.

@Rash

Blonde, but life makes me act like a Brunette to get things done. Girly girls need a man or a manly figure to look after them, so i've got no choice, but to try to be more manly myself to survive. (Sorry for cliches, it is only my opinion).

 

[Borachio]

How do you "do" automatic writing?

 

[dusters]

How do you "do" automatic writing?

Meditate for some time, get your breathing real slow, stop thinking... Breathe, breathe. Close your eyes, open your eyes, take a pen, forget who you are, let your hand do the writing... don't think about what you are writing till it's done...

 

[Shaihulud]

If untrained, yet you can fly a plane, that might prove something. Have you seriously attempted to prove to yourself your fantasies?

 

[dusters]

Gimme a plane built before 1970s, i will fly it.

No.

 

[Bugfatty300]

Wow, a dashing American military pilot. How did you get such a kewl past life?

I was just a pig farmer's wife in Guizhou Province......yeah right jk! I was actually a cosmonaut.

 

[Borachio]

Was it this story of a reincarnated pilot that rang a bell in my head? I think it might have been.

entirely off-topic with regards with the beliefs of Duster which ı have no right to question at all . But that's indeed an airliner , yet a "typo" about the USAF Century series would have been "better" . Would have been an instant match with the Curtiss Hawks Washington loved to buy in the 1930s .

 

[dusters]

It's (it was) mostly about bi-planes in leisure time, r16 is right.

 

[Borachio]

Oh. Oh. I was going to ask another question about automatic writing.

How much of a session of automatic writing makes sense and how much is nonsense?

Is the hand-writing different from your own?

Do you use a writing implement of the right period?

Have you written anything in a language you didn't understand, but which research later proved not to be nonsense?

It depends how you can interpret things. I would say 95% nonsense and puzzling nonsense, and 5% something meaningful (like no brain meaningful) and easily understandable. You can write five sentences which make no sense at the first glance, then think about them for a day and understand something. Think of Zen koans, for example. Do clapping with one hand makes much sense to you?


Hand-writing is (very) different. Like, if you are right handed and did LSD and tried to write with your left hand different.

No, just a regular pencil.

Japanese and Chinese symbols/hieroglyphs, yes.

 

[Borachio]

Clapping with one hand is someone waving hello or goodbye.

 

[IIHAAETTEAAHII]

you can clap with one hand by flipping your fingers against your palm.
