615.0. "Re-incarnate or what?" by FSTVAX::ROYER (FIDUS AMICUS..) Mon Jan 04 1988 18:58

    Hi, 
      I will tell you about me, but of course you all know..
    
    I was born Sept. 20, 1940..in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
    I lived my first 19 Years near Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. I never
    traveled out of Michigan except to Ontario, just over the river.
    
    I entered the Navy just prior to my 19th birthday.  I went to 
    bootcamp in San Diego, Ca., took Electronics training in
    San Francisco bay on Treasure Island...Took further training
    at Dam Neck, VA. (dismal swamp) and computer training at
    Los Angeles, CA.  I traveled to my first Ship In Bergen, Norway
    arriving late November 1960.  Christmas 1960 we were in Bremerhaven
    Germany.  I was on The ship for one year we went into Port every
    26 or 28 days.  26/3 or 28/5 the 3 and 5 are the days in Port.
    I took 17 days vacation in May.  I could read the newspaper
    and understand all the articles.  Granted I did not know every
    word.. However I did not study the language at all and I returned
    to this ship and Bergen in 1969, I was able to converse in a 
    broken Norske/English with my local Girl companion of the 
    Moment.
    
    Also, I am at home in Bergen, Norway.  I prefer It to anyother
    place I have ever visited.  Further more I have never got lost 
    there as many of my fellow navy friends did.  I guess that I have
    Adopted Bergen as my Home.
    
    I also feel comfortable in Belfast, Northern Ireland.  Simular
    but not so strongly.
    
    I am of 1/2 French Canadian decent and the other 1/2 is a mixure
    of Scots, Irish and English.  Scots 2-1 over the Irish and English.
    I have no Scandanivian roots but really enjoy Scandanavia.
    
    Secondly my wife (second one this 16 years together..we met Friday
    13th at her mothers funeral..wed 5 days later) had a dream from
    childhood about houses on a hillside..and streets that went up
    from a river.  We found that hillside in Germany.. It's across
    the Neckar River from the Heidelberg Castle..  My wife does 
    OOBE from the things she has described I believe even tho I can
    not.. I managed to levitate myself above the bed once.. what a
    feeling, floating on air.
    
    This is rather longer that intended, apoligies extended and comments
    welcomed.
    
    as you know,
    
    Dave R.

	RE: .0 DID I miss something? Frederick
615.2	do not blink!	FSTVAX::ROYER	FIDUS AMICUS..	`Tue Jan 05 1988 17:55`	19
	re .1 I do not know if you missed something, deja vu is not omnipotent after all! the main part that I wanted to put over was the home feeling I have in Bergen, Norway and Belfast Northern Ireland. other commentary was just other extra sensory items. Dave. If you refer to the "of course you know" that is what deja vu is all about but I did not have to tell you that.
615.3	Sometimes it's cold, sometimes it's hot.	30841::GUEST_TMP	HOME, in spite of my ego!	`Tue Jan 05 1988 21:43`	16
	re: .0,.2 Okay, it's just that I read what you wrote as an autobiography (which is probably better suited to the "Hello, my name is..." topic) and I didn't get the connection between that and the title of the topic you started. I'm not sure even now why you started this topic (probably because it could fit into several other already existing ones.) The "cake-stealer (another topic)" for me was the "you know" comment at the beginning. No, I didn't know. Anyway, congratulations on discovering Europe and peace within yourself in so doing. And it is clear that DEJAVU is a wonderful collection of all kinds of thinking and feeling. Frederick
615.4	By George, I think she's got it!	NYOB::JOYCE		`Thu Jan 07 1988 20:51`	24
	Dave, I got it, even if Fred didn't catch on right away (sorry, Fred, no offense intended). I have also wondered if my feelings of "knowing" a place even when I'm there for the first time could mean that I've lived there before in another lifetime. A couple of years ago I visited Philadelphia for the first time on a DEC-business-trip. Even though I'd never been there before I had an instant feeling of familiarity with the city; I ended up directing other DEC'ies in our group on an impromptu tour of the older parts of town, near the Schuylkill River. The vibes I felt were strongest there, and I remember thinking this city must have been "home" in one or more of my lifetimes. I haven't travelled as widely as you have, and this is the only time (so far) that I've been struck with this feeling. Odd, and intriguing, but I have no other explanation for it... Patricia
615.5	We have a winner!	FSTTOO::ROYER	FIDUS AMICUS..	`Fri Jan 08 1988 15:26`	22
	Hi Patricia, Yep, you have it exactly, funny I was introduced to this type of thing by a Patricia in 1971 in Virginia... she told me of Edgar Cayce, and I did lots of reading regarding healings, reincarnation, and many other things. Never entered the ocult and have no care to try. Many times and places are explained away by deja vu, what our subconscience knows or remembers, who knows. Anyone read Thomas B. Costains book 'Beneath or Below' the Salt? Good arguement for reincarnation there. and the Reference "you know" is the reference to deja vu! As Yogi was so fond of saying "just like deja vu all over again!" thanks, Dave
615.6	Cheesesteak subs and a bottle of.....	CLUE::PAINTER	Remembering the Challenger	`Wed Jan 13 1988 20:55`	11
	Re.4 Well, Philadelphia is the city of (whateverly) love! It would only stand to reason why you felt comfortable there. I lived in Conchy for two years and loved that area. Even now a sentimental tear comes to my eye just remembering picnics in Valley Forge park. Thanks for reminder - it meant more to me just now than you could possibly know. Cindy
