34. The Man Who Thought He Was Leonardo Da Vinci

That's me. I think I contributed part of the energy that was Lenny Da V! I really do. I've checked the dates, read some biographies, imagined quite a bit of his early life, sexual orientation (asexual), drawing and painting techniques, his fascination with water, with flowers, his ability to solve mechanical problems, and on and on. I'm comfortable with all that I know about him. I'm comfortable with his interest in womanly gossip, with his fabulous ability to throw parties, with his food diet (vegetarian), his cleanliness, left-handedness, his lute playing, his feud with Michelangelo and with much of his sorrow and bastardly loneliness.

I have heard all the criticism about past lives but I've experienced great relief (and much laughter) from remembering a space-ship incident. I have known people that I knew previously and I am married to someone I've loved before. (Isn't that romantic?) I can spot two of my children, my father and my brother from previous times.

These, and there are more, are unprovable beliefs of mine. Even though, logically, they are highly probable and people I trust corroborate some of them, there is no bet-your-life-certainty about them. And so there is something always to remember re past lives. It is most important to remember that, even if they could be proved to be true, then was then and now is now. And you and I are living now. You now have all your decision-making and choice power. Your ability to make correct choices for your happiness has not been diminished (nor enhanced) by whatever happened some other time.

Whatever my memories/imaginations/guessings about who I was, famous and ordinary they are only useful to me to explain some of my current interests. I wish that I had some of Lenny's talent. I wish that I had some of the incisive intellect and teaching ability of some of the others that I believe I was a part of. I sure do! Instead, I have some slightly-above-average-talents (and an oversized ego!) and some definite leanings and interests.

I believe I have, as you do, the accumulated experiences of many lifetimes but we have something else that they did not have: we have ways to access information about them. We have, in a word, Google, Yahoo, et al. And what an advantage that is! Now you can, in an instant, get minutely detailed information about almost anyone at all.

Some of my spooky friends (psychics) make a big deal about "connecting" you to someone famous. Now I say you can do it yourself and it's a helluva lot cheaper. Here's how:

Based on the truism that you cannot lie to yourself and feel relaxed about it you can imagine yourself to be anyone at all. Try it. There is something about being relaxed and "OK" with information that seems to make it true for you. Try on a simple farm boy, a servant, a manual laborer. How does it feel? I say if you are relaxed about being in North Africa as a camel driver then you were. I say if you are calm about being a New Orleans musician then you were. Now try on Henry VIII and use Google for all the details you need. You can check out Hank's toilet system or dressing procedure or almost any other provocative detail of his tumultuous life. You can check out your "relaxometer" on any and all details. I say if it doesn't comfortably resonate then forget it. I am convinced that you cannot deliberately lie to yourself and feel calm about it. For instance, I would like to associate myself with Thomas Edison, but when I try, it just doesn't feel right. Not even a tingle, dammit!

Some spooks say, and I feel comfortable with this, that you were part of some notable's energy. That gets me somewhat off my belief hook because I don't remember all of Lenny Da V's life (and I certainly don't have a fraction of his abilities) but I "resonate" strongly with some of it.

One can also, if you're interested, use your "relaxometer" to filter out the pleasant stuff from the unpleasant stuff of every known belief system from Atheism to Zoroastroism. And you can make some shrewd guesses about the beliefs of the Egyptians, the Maya, the Aztecs, the Toltecs, Tibetans and of almost all aborigines that we have information about.

What the hell, it's fun and it's free.
