I did a process through the art of living (SSRS) that helps you unstress impressions from previous lifetimes. It was pretty interesting. The past lives that came up were a roman general (I was involved in logistics and troop support, not direct combat.) I died of a heart attack in that one. I worked on the pyramids as a physical laborer, but I was mentally retarded (I'm serious!) and died at 18 from falling off a large stone block and fracturing my skull. I lived a long life in Norway in the mid 1800's the son of a wealthy land owner. In that lifetime my current father was my son who drowned when he was 10 and my daughter is now my wife (I know, Freud would have a field day with those dynamics) I was also Rick Archer in a previous life and in a future life I'm going to be Curtis!
