hilarity: I was male in my last earthly incarnation. I was born somewhere in the territory of modern Borneo around the year 825. My profession was that of a handicraftsman or mechanic.
eerily interesting…. past life diagnosis: male, born somewhere in the territory of modern Ukraine around the year 1825, profession was that of a philosopher and thinker. brief psychological profile of past life: timid, constrained, quiet person… had creative talents, which waited until this life to be liberated… sometimes your environment considered you strange. the lesson: it always seemed that perceptions of the world are somewhat different… trust one’s intuition as best guide in present life.

Who were you in a past life?
