So, here is another part of my story, for the first time, without changing a single comma (almost). To ease the reading, I will divide it in two chapters. Today I leave the first one.
So, many can say all this is pure imagination, that my writer’s mind has gone wild and is talking nonsense, that I am close to madness as has happened to many other writers before. Only I and everyone who has lived it and know how this works, know it is not that. We know this is real and we all, absolutely all of us, are immortal, and have lived countless lives.
As the details, and much more, are in the past life journal, I will try to make a brief summary of everything I have found so far. Basically, the experiences I have had, supposedly in previous times, previous to my birth as Ana María. And to make things easier, I will do it in a chronological order. They are many more than these six lives I am going to describe, but currently I am receiving more memories from these lives, probably because they have more relation to my personal features or the problems I have found along the way.
- The oldest life would be Roderic’s, around 1300 AC. It takes place somewhere in Ireland, near a “settlement” that would become through the years a city called Galway. There are constant fights between the original settlers of the area (the Irish) and outsiders, probably Normans. Roderic is a hunter and lives in the woods. He and his family have to bear the oppression of the invaders: fires in the town, pillages, violence to women… When he marries things don’t change. It is some kind of feudal system and “soldiers” come to reclaim what they believe is theirs, despite the tough winter, the scarcity of prey and the fact his woman can barely feed the child they had. Roderic wants to rebel but the elder people in the town advise against it. One day they kill their son. Soon after, his woman dies. Roderic decides he must do something and gets a sword. He tries to kill the one he thinks is to blame with an arrow, but he is chased and captured. He dies in the gallows (around 30 years old). “H” (that is to say, his spirit, might be incarnated in Roderic’s elder brother who leaves the town when he marries his own woman.
- Around 1530 AC Reginald is born, possibly in England, though in his early years he moves to France and lives with his family in some kind of country house, as his father works the land. His father decides to send him to study to a monastery/school, thanks to the mediation of an acquaintance, and being around 15 years old he travels to another city in France (possibly Avignon). The school belongs to a religious order that is starting out. Due to his great intelligence and personal qualities (for example, he speaks a few languages, he can read…), “someone” within that religious order offers him to be a member of a secret society that would oppose the Church in general, the Pope, and in particular the Inquisition. Its main mission is to preserve the knowledge the Inquisition is destroying with its ignorance, and with the passing of years, then penetrating it at all levels in order to change the Church from within. At first, life in the school is pure hard work, with a lot of discipline. Later on, Reginald becomes a warrior at the service of that order and that secret society. He travels around many places in France and Spain, in search of books considered forbidden or heretic. Further on, he ends up having his office in Gloucester. There are instances of intense fights, probably against an “armed wing” of the Inquisition or something similar. It is possible that what he thought an honorable goal finally becomes something he doesn’t approve, but he must comply with it as a member of the society. I still don’t know how his death occurs.
- In the first half of 1700, James is born, in Portsmouth, England. He dreams of becoming a mariner. Strict father, James wants him to be proud of him. He enrolls in the Royal Navy, I am not sure if it is by his own account or through a school that appears during that time in Portsmouth. The first experiences are very tough, as a private or maybe a lower-ranking officer, in an invasion of what looks like an island. He has to order mass shooting, he has to kill in cold blood… He commits a lot of atrocities and falls into a personal crisis that leads him to drink too much. He spends a few years there, far from his wife, with whom he married pretty young, and his two children. He has a mistress. Back home, he becomes a higher-ranking officer. He travels to the Caribbean, it seems there are no big battles so far, but he trades with slaves. He dies in “waters near Corsica”, in a naval battle that takes place in the year 1756 (probably it is the battle of Minorca). He is around 40-45. [This life is probably the most confusing of the three].
