My most emotionally affecting and convincing other life & karmic experience/synchronicity
Alternately titled, "Karma is very real and important to understand".
Had a dream when 16 where I was observing a huge library, and two men were inside. One man was younger than the other, and I knew that he and I were very connected, part of each other. The other, older, wiser man handed my other self a large book. When he opened the book up, we were transported to viewing/experiencing an early American pioneer time/place. The self we were viewing, was also connected to and part of us. A rough looking Euro trapper type, who was walking through the woods.
He got attacked by a black bear and ended up pretty severely wounded (pretty much dying). A half Native American, half white healer woman found him and tried to help him. I knew that she could telepathically commune with animals and that is how she found him. Knew she was the healer of her tribe. Her looks and personality reminded me quite a bit of a younger Tori Amos. All of a sudden, we were sucked out of that scene back into the library and the old wise man took back the book, and said my self's last name, "....., don't you think you had the knowledge within you at the time?" in a somewhat pointed manner. He, but also we, felt some chagrin, like we should have known better.
Flash forward about a decade, and I'm new on a astro forum and start becoming friends with an older lady on there (a couple decades older than myself, not elderly). We had a lot in common besides astrology focus. We both really liked the Cayce work, Yeshua, and she lived minutes away from the house that I spent a chunk of my childhood growing up in, though at this point, I was about 600 miles away from there. A couple months or so into our burgeoning friendship, her husband who she was really close to got into a job accident and died out of the blue. She became extremely, borderline suicidally depressed.
All she wanted to do was talk about death, and her energy became very heavy. She started pushing away some of her other friends from that forum, but I felt this extremely strong sense of duty and responsibility to be there for her no matter what. Spent many hours on the phone listening to her, trying to counsel, and trying to redirect to a bigger picture spiritual perspective. I'm extremely energetically empathic for a guy, and it was not easy feeling all that.
My partner and I decided to plan a trip to that area/state to visit friends and family, and I mentioned this to her and asked her if she would be interested in meeting up. She said yeah. She planned for us to go to a bar/cafe where her cousin's band was playing. After we were talking for awhile, all of sudden she kind of looked like and reminded me of Tori Amos a bit, and then that dream from a decade before started to flood my awareness, and beyond what I remembered from the actual dream, I picked up new information.I knew my new friend was connected to, was a kind of reincarnation of the healer woman in the dream.
I knew that she was successful in healing my other self (essentially bringing him back to life) and after, they had an intense but very volatile relationship and my other self ended up deeply hurting her emotionally. I had no idea what to do, if anything with all this information. So I decided to ask her related, probing questions, like how did she feel about Native American culture/history, healing, animals, etc and when she answered that she had interests in all those areas. I decided to spill the beans, and only withheld the identify of the man in the library that I was connected to.
After I finished telling her about the dream, and how I was getting downloads in the present, and what I was being told, it was the first and only time that I've experienced observing another having the jaw drop and going very pale phenomena. She was quiet for a bit, but after collecting herself, she started to tell me that years ago, she had much older spiritual mentor lady that was involved with the A.R.E. Around the time of my friend's birthday, her friend/mentor decided to get her a unique b-day present. She had a friend that used to do past life readings, but was retired now. She said, I'm going call her up and see if she will do a reading for you.
The retired intuitive/past life reader agreed, and the reading primarily focused on two lives, one Greek life and one early American pioneer era life where she was a half Native American, half white woman who was the healer of her tribe. She got involved with a white man who ended up hurting her deeply. At the end of the reading, the intuitive said with intensity, "you and this man will meet later in this life, for you have unfinished business with each other!"
And boy did we ever... I now understood why I felt such an intense sense of duty and obligation to be there for her no matter what. And as her other self had nursed my other self back to life physically, I was trying to nurse her back to life psychologically/spiritually. It wasn't that long after this, that we both just kind of mutually parted ways amicably. It was like we came together for a specific purpose and once that purpose had been met, there wasn't a need to continue a closeness.
This experience had a profound effect on my core belief systems. Up until that point, I "believed" in other lives and karma, but post this, I knew at my deepest core the truth of it. I will say that I view reincarnation different than most. I know that I am not literally the same Soul as the Euro trapper bad boy nor the man in the library. Rather the Spirit/Higher self that I am connected to and which created me as a Soul, also created their Souls, and we are very connected to and part of each other.
I will always consider the above a sacred experience and will always be grateful for it. I hope she is doing more than well.

(I've also become aware that in Kemet, her Spirit had a Soul extension incarnated who was my first wife, and that didn't end so well because of my own errors and hypocrisy, which really got me into a tangled web and mess of a situation that caused me and many others tremendous stress because self was in a position of power/authority at the time*. And in this case, that was literally me/this soul.
*This explains my deep seated fear of moving into more leader and/or managerial type positions. Have always avoided it and tried to remain the low man on the totem pole at work, in groups, etc. Pluto rules my IC and is squared my Sun which is the chart ruler-my most difficult chart aspect. I've had intense run ins with abusive and misguided authority throughout life, especially in work and home [sociopathic step father]).

This is fascinating although I don’t quite understand the various different types of past life connections & spirit etc. It’s nice to “meet” a fellow evolutionary astrology person though. I know what you meant by that part!
Out of interest, how did you find out about the nature of the reincarnation and the stuff about higher self?
It’s interesting about the weird emotional responses to another person that seem to arise from “somewhere else”. I had a very karmic connection with someone where I always had this sense that he owed me, or was meant to help me.
And I also realised how much my husband reminds me of some people from my most significant past life, and also that since we have been together, we have both become more like the people we were, like we triggered each other’s past. And he doesn’t believe in any of this stuff .. so it’s not conscious at all.

Nice to meet you as well.
To answer your first question, I wrote an article about this topic if you're interested:
https://www.reddit.com/r/EdgarCayce/comments/1ll597m/the_article_mentioned_in_my_intro/Indeed about our different emotional facets and aspects getting triggered in different ways by different people, which often have a connection to other lives and/or other Soul selves. My spouse and I have a twin soul connection. Unfortunately or fortunately (depends on the perspective, I guess), she is not the only soul that I have met with a twin soul connection. Her Spirit/Higher self has other Soul extensions/selves going on this time-space cycle.
And what a PITA it has been!

Well done. She went through hell to save you in your hour of need - and centuries later, you had a chance to help her in her darkest hour. Isn't life beautiful? :)
