Multiple Thomases and other Curiosa

I reflected yesterday on the multiple Thomases in my life, and it's really funny. I can't think of this having been as prominent before. In fact I can't remember any Thomases before the last few years, and now they seem to be everywhere. So somehow my mind is on the topic of Thomas indeed, and synchronicity is of course one way to incorporate joining into our experience. As to Gary Renard there is the notion of a parallel Thomas experience with Michael Tamura, as documented in The Return of the Revolutionaries, see www.johnadams.net and then there is also the experience of Micael Ledwith. I was present when Gary and Micael were together on a TV panel discussion in Manhattan, on Alan Steinfeld's New Realities TV. It did not particularly impress me in any specific way, but it was a curious fact nevertheless.

Besides the fact that many of these incidents of past life recall can be very fallacious, no doubt, there is no question that for some people they can be very clear and strong, as was the case with General George S. Patton, for whom they were an unquestionable fact of life, and clearly had a great deal of accuracy, and explicit relevance to his present incarnation, such as knowing how to pick his route through France with avoidance of man-made bridges, since he remembered from the Gallic wars, when he marched with Caesar, where the natural places were to ford rivers, and avoid other obstacles. Yet there remains the fact that often times the stories don't fully coincide or confirm each other or the historical record for that matter. It would seem that different people remember different aspects of the experience, and there may even be something to the multiple choice nature of our script, that different people remember different versions. None of this yields to much rational analysis, because the holographic nature of this experience is beyond easy comprehension, but it is just another aspect of our experience.

It has been clear to me for a long time that a preference or a strong interest in certain periods of time indicates a certain level of awareness of: "I was there," as GSP would often note in his books, and sometimes it was: "I know, I was there." And he was provably right on numerous occasions. I know I had that sense with Plato and the academy, and to some degree I have it with the time of Jesus, yet I have no great Aha! experiences around that, except to realize that as we become less afraid of ourselves, we can let more of these experiences in perhaps, so memories can come back. At a certain level it can be a distraction, if we let it, but it can simply be a happy experience, which can enrich our lives. The fact that multiple people are having partially overlapping memories is also easily possible once we fathom the holographic nature of the mind even a little bit. There are not discrete souls incarnating in bodies, that's just how we conceive of it as long as we identify strongly with our body, rather, the puppeteer, the mind dreams up all the characters. We are only identified with one particular role until we wake up from it.
