Past Life Memory Bank

    Merry Meet Again. As shocking as this may be to some, there are more people on this planet who believe in reincarnation than there are those who do not believe in it. If you are wondering whether you have lived before, or have a strong suspicion that you have, the Past Life Memory Bank is a great place to begin your journey into yourself.
    As always, my heartfelt thanks go to all of you who have so generously shared your memories with the world. The Memory Bank has become a valuable resource for writers, film makers, and other creative people whose works deal with reincarnation. Your memories continue to inspire them. - Eileen Holland

It has been a long time since I have updated this site. Fifty pages of new memories have come in (thank you), so it's going to take me a while to get them all posted. The whole site ought to be rebuilt with new software, but I'm having trouble mastering that because of the scars on my brain (I have M.S.) This update will have to suffice, until then. As always, the beauty and honesty with which you recover things amazes me. - Eileen]

    This is an e-list is for readers and contributors to the Past Life Memory Bank, and for anyone else who enjoys discussing reincarnation. Please be welcome to subscribe, and to seek your answers and connections here.I'd like to encourage readers to make use of this list. It isn't possible for me to correspond with pople, or to provide e-mail links. People sometimes write to me because they think they recognize someone here from a past life, but I cannot help them because I don't keep records of e-mail addresses. So please, use the list to communicate with one another.

If you would like to share or record your past life memories, send them to me. Make the subject PAST LIVES.
   Memories that don't ring true, such as those with historical inaccuracies gross enough for me to catch, will not be posted. Listings that take too long to edit (spelling, grammar, etc.) cannot be posted because of time constraints. I have also heard from too many Gueneveres, Cleopatras, Marie Antoinettes, etc. to post memories from people who think they were historical figures. I know you're sincere, but you can also see my dilemma. I do not accept e-mail links for your postings, but I do encourage you to make use of the Merry Meet Again e-list for networking and discussion.
    If you use this e-mail link to write to me about anything else, please note that it often takes me several months to read most of my mail. I am not a psychic, or an expert on past life work, and I cannot interpret your dreams. I do not keep people's e-mails, or keep record of their addresses, so I cannot help you to get in touch with someone whose memory intrigues you.

Are all these memories actual past lives?
    Perhaps. Some of them certainly are, as you can feel the truth in them. The cynic in me tends to doubt the romantic memories, but that could just be me.

    I think I know why you hear from so many Marie Antoinettes ~ because hearing about Marie Antoinette in this life is what reminds them most of the life where they knew her or were in her orbit. I got goosebumps once when I realized I was born just after a famous person died, and when I was listening to his music. At first I thought maybe I was him; but a psychic told me I wasn't, I was his friend ~ immediately I had an image of the man I assume I was in that life ~ I wasn't the famous one at all. Maybe you could let people know they might've just been friends with the famous one, and then have a section where friends of famous people could compare notes & connect & prove the life to themselves by both knowing & confirming certain facts.

[Good idea, but please use the e-list for these discussions. - Eileen]

    Hi, I found your website, and I am thankful for providing this service. If you're not busy I would be grateful if you can read my story regarding my slight curiosity concerning my past life. Some background about me might help. I'm 17, female, Japanese. I was born in Tokyo and moved to Bali, Indonesia when I was 4. I've always loved the beautiful natural environments and wildlife here, especially the birds.
    Here's my story. I didn't believe in reincarnations, until about a week ago when something clicked in my head and I remembered that I've always had images of Earth destruction since I was very little. I don't even know when I began seeing those images and having sad feelings about the Earth, but I've always loved our planet and grieved about humans destroying it gradually. These feelings were especially strong when I was around 9 to 13 years old, I cried so much every night seeing and thinking about forests on fire, oil from tanks killing seabirds, poachers shooting tigers, endangered birds being trapped for illegal trade . . . everything. I know that our species is destructive only because we're sophisticated and successful as a species, so I don't blame humans . . . But I've always been sad about it.
     Yes, the other thing that makes me think I had a past life is that I'm a generally sad person. I assumed that I was simply born as a person who is almost constantly feeling blue. I DO have times when I'm content or hyper, but I am always conscious of the mysterious and melancholy feelings somewhere inside. I keep thinking, maybe I am a reincarnation of somebody quiet and insignificant who had something to do with the Earth, and had a tragic life. I know it won't really affect my current life, but I still wish to know what kind of person I really was, and when I had been alive. One thing I'm pretty sure about: I wasn't of any historically significant figure.
Thank you, I appreciate your help! - Sincerely Yours, Yui
