Beto O’Rourke as a Kennedy Reincarnation

A person who has an interest in reincarnation research wrote to me inquiring if Beto O’Rourke, a Texas politician belonging to the Democratic Party, may be one of the political Kennedys, President John F. Kennedy or Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy.

At the time, I did not know who Beto O’Rourke was, though soon afterwards I observed that he was on the national news, as he was running for a Texas US Senate seat in opposition to US Senator Ted Cruz. I learned that O’Rourke was a 3 term Texas US Congressman who had been born into a politically active family in El Paso, Texas.

I noted that Beto physically resembled Robert F. Kennedy much more that John F. Kennedy. Click on images to enlarge them.

In a session that I had with Kevin Ryerson, a trance medium who channels a spirit guide named Ahtun Re, who has demonstrated the ability to make past life identifications with a high degree of accuracy, Ahtun Re affirmed that Beto O’Rourke is the reincarnation of Robert F. Kennedy.

Principles of Reincarnation-Understanding Past Lives

Physical Resemblance in Reincarnation Cases: The facial features of Robert F. Kennedy and Beto O’Rourke are similar.

Past Life Talent: Beto O’Rourke and Robert F. Kennedy have demonstrated gifts as politicians.

Reincarnation and Planning Lifetimes: Ian Stevenson, MD of the University of Virginia compiled over 1500 childhood past life memory cases that were objectively validated. These cases demonstrate that souls plan lifetimes.

As a prime example, Stevenson compiled 31 twin cases, consisting of 62 two individuals, and in 100 percent of these cases, the twins had significant past life relationships. To learn more, please go to:

Ian Stevenson, MD Twin Reincarnation Study

Just as souls can plan lifetimes to reincarnate with past life loved ones, souls can plan lives to incarnate into families that will assist in fulfilling goals of the soul. If a soul desires to pursue a political career, then that soul can make agreements to reincarnate into a political family.

This was the case in the political dynasties of the John Adams family, the Kennedy family, the Bush family and it may be evident in the Beto O’Rourke reincarnation case.

Georgian Pianist Khatia Buniatishvili as the Reincarnation of the Hungarian Composer and Piano Virtuoso Franz Liszt: Past Life Talent, Change of Nationality and Gender

Proposed by: ReincarnationResearch.com Supporter

Affirmed by: Spirit Being Ahtun Re in a Ryerson-Semkiw Reincarnation Research Session

Article by: Walter Semkiw, MD

Pianist Khatia Buniatishvili is Inspired by Composer and Virtuoso Franz Liszt

A fan of our website wrote to me about a child prodigy pianist named Khatia Buniatishvili, who was born in the country of Georgia, which was once a part of the Soviet Union. This fan shared the following quote from Khatia regarding the first commercial recording of a her playing the piano, which occurred in 2011:

Buniatishvili: “I was always aware that my first recording had to be a portrait of Liszt. Only he would enable me to present as a unity the many aspects of my soul.”

This led to the hypothesis or theory that Khatia may be the reincarnation of Franz Liszt.

Split Incarnation: The Soul of Daw Soe, a Burmese Woman, Begins a New Life as a Man, While Daw is Still Alive: Reincarnation Case of Daw Soe | Maung Tun

How Derived: Past Life Memories in Childhood

Researcher: Ian Stevenson, MD

From: Reincarnation and Biology: A Contribution to the Etiology of Birthmarks and Birth Defects, by Ian Stevenson, MD, pages 1906-1911

Article by: Walter Semkiw, MD

Friendship of Daw’s Mother with Tint, Who Will Become Daw’s Mother When She Reincarnates

Daw Soe, a girl, was born in Burmese city of Mandalay in about the year 1887. Burma is now known as Myanmar. The Buddhist temples of Mandalay are featured in the image to the right. Click on it to enlarge.

Daw grew up in Mandalay and as a young woman, she married and then had five children. Daw and her husband earned their living through a trading company that they had founded. Daw also enjoyed doing meditation.

Daw had a younger female friend whose name was Khin San Tint, who we will refer to as Tint. Though Tint was not a relative, there was a close connection between her and Daw. In fact, Daw kept a photograph of Tint at her home and conversely, Tint kept a photo of Daw at her home.

When she was in her early 60’s, Daw developed cataracts or opacties of the lenses of both eyes, which led to her becoming blind. When she was 64 years old, she had an operation on one of her eyes to remove the cataract. Surgery was successful, though Daw had to wear eyeglasses with thick lenses for the rest of her life to see well through the eye that was operated on.

Daw’s friend, Tint, married and became pregnant at the end of 1964. Daw died shortly afterwards, on February 22, 1965 at the age of 78.

Daw Reincarnates as a Boy, Tun, with Tint as his Mother

About 6 months later, on August 28, 1965, Tint gave birth to a baby boy, who she named Maung Soe Tun. For simplicity, we will refer to him as Tun.

Tun was born in the Burmese city of Magwe, which is about 60 kilometers or 37 miles west of Mandalay, where Daw Soe had lived.

Tint worked as a schoolteacher.  As she was absent from the family’s home during the day, Tun was raised by Tint’s aunt.

Tun Recognizes His Past Life Photo

As noted, Tint kept a photo of Daw Soe at her home. When Tint’s son, Tun, was 7 months old he would point to the photograph of Daw Soe. While looking at this photo, he would pat himself on the chest.

This behavior stimulated his family to ask him: “Are you mother Soe?” In response, Tun seemed to be pleased by this identification.

When Tun started to speak at 18 months of age, he made more direct references to his previous life as Daw Soe. For example, Tun talked about the relatives of Daw Soe who lived in Nga-Zun, Burma, though Tun had never been there.

Tun Makes Past Life Identifications at Daw’s Home

When Tun was 4 years old, he was taken to Daw Soe’s home and he recognized people that Daw Soe had known, who Tun had never met in his lifetime.  For example, Tun recognized Daw’s brother, U Shwe Gaing, who Tun correctly called by a nick-name that Daw had used for her brother.

Also at Daw’s home, Tun pointed to a room, which, it turned out, was where Daw Soe had always slept.

Daw Soe’s family, as a past life test, mixed up clothing and jewelry that had belonged to Daw with apparel and jewelry that belonged to other family members. Tun then correctly identified clothing and jewelry that had belonged to Daw and rejected items that did not belong to Daw.

At 7 years of age, Tun pointed to a photo of Daw Soe and stated that she was him. Tun also reported that as Daw, his right eye had been operated on. Like Daw, Tun developed an interest in meditation.

Parallel Lives or Split IncarnationSplit Incarnation

Ian Stevenson, MD noted that Tun’s mother, Tint, was 3 months pregnant when Daw had died. As such, Tun was conceived three months before Daw had died.

If the soul is involved in conception, which I do believe it is, then the lives of Daw and Tun overlapped by 3 months. Ian Stevenson, MD documented a number of cases in which lifetimes overlapped. Stevenson termed these: “Cases with Anomalous Dates”

I call these types of cases “Split Incarnation,” as the soul inhabits or animates more than one human body at a time. An older term for this phenomenon is “Parallel Lives.”

A split incarnation case that Stevenson documented involved Ruprecht Schultz. Ruprecht was born 6 weeks before his past life personality. Helmut Kohler, had died. Stevenson considered this reincarnation case as one of strongest he had ever researched. The setting of this story is World War II in Germany. To learn more, please go to:

IISISReincarnationPastLifeEvidenceBombingSuicide and Reincarnation Case of Helmut Kohler | Ruprecht Schultz

Evidence and Principles of Reincarnation-Understanding Past Lives

Planning Lifetimes and Past Life Relationships: Daw Soe had a close relationship with a younger female friend named Tint. Daw reincarnated as Tint’s son, Tun.

Reincarnation and Gender Change: Daw Soe was a woman, but reincarnated as Tun, a male.

Split Incarnation or Parallel Lives: Tun was conceived three months before Daw died. If the soul is involved in the process of conception,  then the soul of Daw | Tun was animating two human bodies at a time. Ian Stevenson, MD of the University of Virginia called these “Cases with Anomalous Dates,” as lifetimes overlapped.

Comedian Louis Anderson as the Reincarnation of Fatty Arbuckle, a Past Life Colleague of Ellen DeGeneres

Proposed by: ReincarnationResearch.com supporter

Affirmed by: Spirit Being Ahtun Re in a Ryerson-Semkiw Reincarnation Research Session

Article by: Walter Semkiw, MD

Past Lives for Ellen DeGeneres and Comedian Louis Anderson

In a session with trance medium Kevin Ryerson, I asked Ahtun Re, the spirit guide that Kevin channels who has demonstrated the ability to make reincarnation identifications with a high degree of accuracy, for a past life for media figure Ellen DeGeneres. Ahtun Re told me that she was a silent movie actress who was featured in movies produced by the comedic actor Fatty Arbuckle.

Past Lives for Oprah Winfrey And Gayle King

 

A past life for Ellen as the actress Virginia Vance was later confirmed in a session with Kevin Ryerson | Ahtun Re. To view this case, as well as past lives for Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King, please go to:

Reincarnation Case of Virginia Vance | Ellen DeGeneres

Louis Anderson as the Reincarnation of Fatty Arbuckle

At the time, a past life for Arbuckle in the silent movie era was not identified, but a supporter of ReincarnationResearch.com provided the hypothesis that Fatty Arbuckle had reincarnated as the contemporary comedian Louis Anderson.

A physical resemblance between Arbuckle and Anderson was obvious and in a subsequent session with Kevin Ryerson, Ahtun Re concurred that Louis Anderson was Fatty Arbuckle in a past lifetime.

Principles of Reincarnation-Understanding Past Lives

Physical Resemblance in Reincarnation Cases: The facial features of Fatty Arbuckle and Louis Anderson are very similar. Also the facial features of Ellen DeGeneres, Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King are consistent with their past life personas.

Past Life Talent: Fatty Arbuckle was one of the most successful comedians of the silent movie era. Similarly, Louis Anderson has been a very successful comedian in contemporary times.

Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King also demonstrate talents from their past lives.

Lin-Manuel Miranda, the Creator of the Musical Hamilton, as the Reincarnation of Aaron Burr, who Killed Alexander Hamilton in a Duel

Proposed by: Walter Semkiw, MD

Affirmed by: Spirit Guide Ahtun Re in a Ryerson-Semkiw Reincarnation Research Session

Article by Walter Semkiw, MD

Please note that there is no political motive in this article.

Lin-Manuel Miranda as the Reincarnation of Aaron Burr and Past Life Karma

When the musical Hamilton became a sensation in the United States and I learned that it was written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, a composer and lyricist of Puerto Rican descent, I wondered why Miranda was motivated to create a musical celebrating the life of Alexander Hamilton.

I suspected that there was a past life and karmic connection. My immediate intuition was that Miranda was Aaron Burr in a past incarnation, as Burr had killed Hamilton in a duel fought with pistols. It made sense that if Burr ended Hamilton’s life and political career, from a karmic point of view, the soul of Burr would have the desire to resurrect Hamilton in public consciousness.

Though at the time, I did not know the appearance of Miranda, I found that the facial features of Burr and Miranda did match.

In researching Burr, the only reference I could find regarding any interest in theatre or music revealed that Burr financed his daughter, Theodosia, to be trained in music and dance.

In a session with Kevin Ryerson, Ahtun Re, the spirit guide that the Kevin channels, who has demonstrated the ability to make past life matches with a high degree of accuracy, affirmed that Lin-Manuel Miranda is the reincarnation of Aaron Burr.

Of interest, the prime narrator in the the musical Hamilton is Aaron Burr. As such, Miranda, as the reincarnation of Burr, speaks in his own voice regarding his portrayal of the protagonist of his musical, Alexander Hamilton.

Past Life Talents

Usually, souls show the same abilities and interests from lifetime to lifetime. To review reincarnation cases that demonstrate this principle, please go to:

Past Life Talents and Behaviors

As such, Aaron Burr’s career as a military and political figure is not consistent with Miranda’s career as a theatre figure. People can have secondary traits relative to their primary interests. For example, Thomas Jefferson, who was a nemesis to Burr, was a musician as well as a political figure.

On the other hand, Lin-Manuel Miranda has demonstrated political activism, meeting with United States’ politicians to urge financial relief for Puerto Rico.

Burr may have had past lives focused on music and theatre. One must keep in mind that during the American Revolution, there were few careers available in music and theater. The founding of the American nation had a Puritan heritage, in which theater was considered the “work of the devil.”

Past Life Karma

In portraying the life of Alexander Hamilton, whose image is provided to the right, in contemporary times as a hero of the American Revolution, Miranda has resurrected the persona he killed in a past lifetime, Hamilton.

There is another karmic connection involved in these cases, as President John Adams was one of Aaron Burr’s few public advocates. In addition, Adams was not a supporter of Hamilton, who wanted to start a war between the United States and France. Adams quashed Hamilton’s wish to become the Commander-In-Chief of this proposed war, as Adams perceived that financially and politically, the fledging American nation could not survive this proposed conflict.

Historians agree that John Adams’ analysis was correct, though his decision to avoid war with France led to his reelection defeat, as Hamilton, who was a member of the same political party, the Federalists, worked against  Adams in an effort to elect his own political ally.

Elon Musk, Who has been Identified as the Reincarnation of Thomas Edison, Also Neutralizes Karma with Nikola Tesla

As Lin-Manuel Miranda | Aaron Burr seems to have made amends with the soul of Alexander Hamilton, the same situation has happened regarding the reincarnation of Thomas Edison. Edison was in fierce competition with Nikola Tesla regarding how to delivery electricity to the emerging, American, industrial nation.

Edison favored a system involving Direct Electrical Current (DC), while Tesla promoted his invention of Alternating Current (AC). Edison fought a bitter battle, but ultimately Tesla’s system won out.

Edison was a wealthy man at the end of his life, while Tesla died poor in a room of the New Yorker hotel.

I believe that Thomas Edison | Elon Musk named his electric car company Tesla in a karmic nod to his past life adversary.

To review the reincarnation cases of Thomas Edison | Elon Musk and past life associates such as J.P Morgan, please go to:

Thomas Edison | Elon Musk Reincarnation Case

The Reincarnation of Alexander Hamilton

By the way, in my book Return of the Revolutionaries, Alexander Hamilton is identified as reincarnating in contemporary times as the late US General Alexander Haig.

Principles of Reincarnation-Understanding Past Lives

Physical Resemblance in Reincarnation Cases: The facial architecture of Aaron Burr and Lin-Manuel Miranda is consistent. The facial features of Alexander Hamilton and Alexander Haig are also similar.

Past Life and Karmic Relationships: Alexander Hamilton was killed by Aaron Burr, who reincarnated as Lin-Manuel Miranda, who has equalized that karma by resurrecting Hamilton’s image in contemporary times.

In addition, there seem to be a past life and karmic relationships between President John Adams, Aaron Burr | Lin-Manuel Miranda and Alexander Hamilton.

Two Japanese Brother Soldiers Occupying Burma in WWII Die in an Allied Air Attack and Reincarnate as Twin Girls, San and Yin, to a Burmese Mother, Whose Home was Where the Brothers Died

How derived: Past Life Memories in Childhood

Researcher: Ian Stevenson, MD

From: Reincarnation and Biology, Volume 2, by Ian Stevenson, MD, pages 2025-2034

Article by: Walter Semkiw, MD

The Burmese Family of Thi, His Son Htwe and Daughter-In-Law Kyi During the WW II Japanese Occupation

During World War II, the Japanese invaded and occupied the country of Burma, which is now known as Myanmar.

On March 3, 1945, the British Army, fighting the Japanese, captured the Burmese town of Meiktila. The British then marched south towards the city of Pyawbe, encountering strong resistance from the retreating Japanese Army. The British captured Pyawbe on April 10, 1945.

Minlan, a village 3 kilometers or about 2 miles south of Pyawbe, was subsequently bombed by the Allies. As the Allied bombings occurred during daylight, Burmese villagers would flee their homes at sunrise and escape to the countryside to escape the bombings. The villagers then returned to their houses under the cover of night.

A couple that lived in Minlan during this time were U Chit Htwe, who worked as a blacksmith, and his wife, Daw Khin Kyi. The father of U Chit Htwe, whose name was U Shwe Thi, lived with the couple. For simplicity we will refer to the husband as Htwe, the wife as Kyi and Htwe’s father as Thi.

At sunrise, Htwe and Kyi would go to a pagoda, a Buddhist temple, in the countryside, to escape the horrors of war. Perhaps due to his age, Htwe’s father, Thi, remained at their home in Minlan to look after their property.

On about April 17, 1945, Minlan village endured an Allied bombing attack. It was about 3 PM in the afternoon when Allied planes bombed, and also strafed Minlan with machine gun fire.

Two Japanese Brother Soldiers Die on the Property of a Burmese Family and Reincarnate as Twin Girls, Born to the Burmese Woman Who Lived where the Brothers Died

Reincarnation Japanese Soldier, Gender Identity Issues, P 38During this attack, Thi, the father of Htwe, observed two Japanese soldiers, armed with rifles, hand grenades and knives, running from the Allied aircraft attack towards the family’s property, which featured two tamarind trees. Thi thought the Japanese soldiers intended to kill him, so Thi jumped into a trench that his family had previously dug as a shelter from the weapons of war.

After the Allied attack from the air was over, Thi emerged from the trench and saw that the entirety of Minlan villiage was in flames. He saw that the two Japanese soldiers that had been advancing to his position had been killed and that they and their weapons were lying on the ground near the tamarind trees. Thi then ran from this carnage to the family’s refuge in the countryside at the Buddhist pagoda.

Three days after the attack on Minlan, Thi, his son Htwe and Htwe’s wife, Kyi, returned to the village to see what had become of their home. They found that their house had been destroyed by fire, but that the two tamarind trees of the property were still standing. These trees were  about 10 meters or yards from their home.

Thi observed that the bodies of the two Japanese soldiers who had been killed near the tamarind trees had been removed. Japanese trucks had been destroyed and the bodies of other Japanese soldiers had been burned to death. The weapons of the deceased Japanese soldiers were absent, presumably taken by Burmese villagers.

As such, the deaths of the two Japanese soldiers who were killed during the Allied air attack on Minlan occurred around April 17, 1945.

Xenoglossy: Kyi, the Burmese Wife, Gives Birth to Twin Girls, Who Remember Past Lives as Japanese Soldiers and Who Speak a Foreign Language

About 7 months later on November 17, 1959, in Minlan, Kyi, at 22 years of age, gave birth to twin, fraternal girls, who Htwe and Kyi named Ma Khin San and Ma Khin Yin. For simplicity, we will refer to the twins girls as San and Yin.

When the twins developed the ability to speak at 3 years of age, they spoke in a language that their Burmese family did not understand. They did not talk to their parents about their remembered past lives until 10 years later, when they were 13 years of age. The girls featured in the image to the right are wearing thakana paste on their faces, which is a beauty aid used in Burma. 

In the Burmese language, the twins, when they were 13 years old, made statements referring to past lives as Japanese brothers, soldiers who were killed in Burma during the war. The twins said that they were killed near the house that they had been born in.

Burmese Twin Girls San and Yin Recall their Past Lives as Japanese Soldiers

San said that she, in her past life, was the older brother to Yin. Specifically, San said that she was 3 years older than Yin in their past lives. In agreement, Yin reported to her family that she had been the younger brother of San.

The twins reported that when San was 15 years old in her past lifetime, and Yin was 12 years old in her past incarnation, their father died. They said that they then lived with their mother, who did not have to work as she had independent wealth. They expressed much love for their past life mother. They remembered that their house in Japan faced south and that their roof was made of corrugated iron.

Burmese Twin Girls Remember Enlisting in the Japanese Army in their Past Lives

San related that when she was 18 years old in her past lifetime, she, as a Japanese teenager, decided to serve as a volunteer in the Japanese army. San’s younger past life brother, Yin, did not want to be separated from her older brother and despite the objections of their mother, also enlisted in the Japanese army.

Yin, though she was girl in her contemporary life, said regarding her past life decision: “He was determined to live or die together with his brother.”

They both, in their past lives, thought it was admirable to die for their country, Japan. They related that they had one year of military training in Japan and then were sent abroad to fight in the war.

The twins stated that they remembered fighting in Burma when the older brother was 25 years old and the younger 22. They related that neither of them had married before they deployed for the war.

The twins also related that San, the older Japanese brother, had an insignia of three lines and three stars, whereas the younger brother, Yin, only wore one star. The twins also reported that Yin, the younger brother, was taller than the older brother, San.

The twins stated that in their past Japanese lives, they were armed with long swords, revolvers and grenades. The twins stated they served in the same unit and were always together.

Burmese Twin Girls Remember The Past Life Allied Air Attack that Led to their Deaths

The twins remembered that the Japanese retreated from Meiktila and that they found themselves in Minlan village. They recalled the Allied air attack on Minlan and that they ran for shelter in between two tamarind trees. They related that they sprawled on the ground in a small space between the trees. The twins stated they were killed in this spot, which was close to where they were reborn.

After Life Communication: After Death, the Japanese Soldiers Visit their Mother in Japan, Who Cannot Perceive Them

The Burmese twins recalled that as they were dying as Japanese soldiers in their past lives, they thought of their mother in Japan and called for her help.

After dying, the twins said that they found themselves instantly in Japan where they saw their mother, but they could not communicate with her as she could not see or hear them. They felt sad and frustrated.

The twins related that they did not remember what happened to them after this moment with their past life mother until the age of three, at which time they began to remember their previous lives as if, “They were awakened from a dream.”

After the twins disclosed their past life memories to their family, they expressed nostalgia for Japan and voiced their desire to return to Japan. This plea to return to Japan continued until they were 16 years of age. This behavior was very unusual, as most Burmese despised the Japanese for the atrocities that they had committed against the Burmese population during WW II.

Burmese Female Twins Demonstrate Masculine Behavior Related to their Past Lives as Male Japanese Soldiers

Though the twins were female, they both demonstrated masculine behavior at least until they were 17 years of age. For example, they both preferred to wear trousers or pants rather than dresses.

Ian Stevenson, MD also noted in his documentation of these cases that the twins demonstrated “Japanese behavior.” For example, the twins showed marked animosity towards the British and Americans. They complained about the heat in Burma and the spiciness of the food. The twins also had hot tempers and when angry, they would slap the face of those who annoyed them. Slapping of the face by Japanese soldiers was frequently observed by the Burmese when the Japanese soldiers felt disrespected by subordinates.

Burmese Female Twins have Physical Traits Reflecting their Past Lives as Male Japanese Soldiers

Ian Stevenson noted that the physiques of the twins seemed to match their past life personas.

For example, Tin, who recalled being the younger Japanese brother, was 4 cm or about 2 inches taller than Yin. This corresponded to the different heights of the Japanese brothers whose lives they remembered.

Evidence and Principles of Reincarnation-Understanding Past Lives

Planning of Lifetimes and Relationships Renewed through Reincarnation: Two Japanese brothers who died together in WW II reincarnated as twin girls. Ian Stevenson, MD compiled 31 sets of twins who recalled their past lives in childhood. In 100 percent of these cases, the twins had significant past life relationships, demonstrating how souls plan lifetimes to be reunited with loved ones. To learn more, please go to:

Ian Stevenson, MD Twin Study

Change of Nationality and Ethnic Affiliation: The Japanese brothers who fought the Burmese died and reincarnated into the ethnic population that they had fought against, demonstrating how war is self-defeating.

Change of Gender in Reincarnation Cases: The Japanese male soldiers who fought the Burmese, reincarnated as Burmese twin girls. The girls demonstrated masculine behavior.

A similar case involving a Japanese soldier who was reborn as a girl to a Burmese mother, in which the girl demonstrated male traits, even to the point of becoming a lesbian, can be reviewed at the following page:

A Japanese Male Soldier, a Cook, Reincarnates as Burmese Girl

Xenoglossy: As children, San and Yin were overheard speaking to each other in a language their parents did not understand. It is likely that the twins were speaking in their past life language, Japanese.

Physical Resemblance in Reincarnation Cases: Though there was no documentation of facial features in these cases, the heights of the Japanese soldiers corresponded to their reincarnations as twins.

Spirit Beings in Reincarnation Cases: The twins reported after they were killed as the Japanese soldiers, they found themselves with their mother in Japan. They tried to communicate with their mother, but she could not perceive them.

 

Reincarnation and Planning Lifetimes: A Couple Who Were Born on the Same Day, Married and Died on the Same Day are Reborn as Twin Boys

How Derived: Past Life Memories in Childhood

Researcher: Harold Fielding

From: The Soul of a People, by Harold Fielding

Article by: Walter Semkiw, MD

Nyein and Gywin are Born and Die on the Same Day

In the year 1849, a boy and a girl were born on the same day in neighboring houses in a small rural village in Burma called Oksitgon. Burma is now known as Myanmar. The boy’s name was Maung San Nyein and the girl’s name was Ma Gywin.  For simplicity, we will refer to the boy as Nyein and the girl as Gywin.

Nyein and Gywin played together, grew up together and came to love one another. When they became adults, Nyein and Gywin married and worked as farmers.

Nyein and Gywin, knew a couple in the village of Oksitgon named Maung Kan and his wife.

As they entered life together on the same day, the lovers, Nyein and Gywin, man and wife, died on the same day.

Relationships Renewed through Reincarnation: Nyein and Gywin are Reborn as Twin Boys

At the time, Britain was waging a war with Burma in an attempt to reestablish England as a colonial power ruling over Burma.  Britain won this war on November 28, 1885.

While still living in Oksitgon, in 1886, Maung Kan’s wife gave birth to twin boys. The couple named their sons Maung Gye and Maung Nge. For simplicity, we will refer to them as Gye and Nge.

Shortly after their twin sons were born, Maung Kan and his wife left Oksitgon and moved to the village of Kabyu in Burma, which is where their twin boys grew up.

When Gye and Nge developed the ability to speak, their parents heard their sons referring to each other as Nyein and Gywin. Gye was referred to by the twins by the male name Nyein, while Nge was referred to by the female name Gywin.

Their parents recalled that these names matched the names of the couple that they had known in Oksitgon.

Gye and Nge Recognize their Past Life Home and Clothing

Considering the possibility that their twin boys were remembering past lives as the couple Nyein and Gywin, they took their sons from Kabyu to Oksitgon to see if their boys would recognize places from these hypothesized past incarnations.

Indeed, Gye and Nge recognized roads in Oksitgon that lead to houses of people that they had known in their past lives as Nyein and Gywin. They recognized their past life home and inside this house, they recognized clothes that they had worn in their previous lives.

Nge Correctly Recalls a Past Life Debt

When the young twins ran into a woman in Oksitgon named Ma Thet, Nge, who recalled being the past life wife, Gywin, spontaneously remembered borrowing money, specifically 2 rupees, from Ma Thet, that was never paid back.  Ma Thet confirmed that she did loan 2 rupees to Gywin that was never repaid.

Gye and Nge have Physiques Corresponding to their Past Lives

When the twin boys were 6 years of age, Harold Fielding, who documented this case in his book, The Soul of a People, met them. Fielding noticed that the physique of each twin matched who they were in their past lives. Gye, who remembered being the husband, Nyein, was larger than his twin.  In contrast, Nge was smaller, reflecting the build of the wife, Gywin.

Principles of Reincarnation-Understanding Past Lives

Planning Lifetimes and Relationships Renewed through Reincarnation: The married couple, Nyein and Gywin, reincarnated as the twins Gye and Nge.

Change of Gender: Gywin was female, but reincarnated as Nge, a male.

Queen Songwriter and Singer Freddie Mercury as the Reincarnation of Bengali Songwriter and Singer Rabindranath Tagore

Proposed by: Terry Olesen. PhD

Affirmed by: Spirit Guide Ahtun Re in a Ryerson-Semkiw Reincarnation Research Session

Article by: Terry Olesen, PhD and Walter Semkiw, MD

After Veiwing Bohemian Rhapsody, Freddie Mercury’s Past Life as Rabindranath Tagore is Revealed in an Intuition

A friend and collaborator of mine, Terry Olesen of Australia, viewed the movie Bohemian Rhapsody, which is about the rock band Queen. Afterwards, Terry had the spontaneous intuition that Freddie Mercury, the songwriter and lead singer of Queen, was the “reincarnation of Tagore.” At the time Terry knew little about Rabindranath Tagore, only that he had been a poet from the country of Bengal.

Further evaluation revealed that the facial features of Tagore and Mercury are consistent, talents are similar and that this appeared to be a plausible reincarnation match.

In a subsequent session with Kevin Ryerson, Ahtun Re, the Egyptian spirit guide channeled through Kevin who has demonstrated the ability to make past life matches with a high degree of accuracy, affirmed that Freddie Mercury is indeed the reincarnation of Rabindranath Tagore.

The Life of Rabindranath Tagore and his Nobel Prize and the Bard of Bengal

Bengal is a country located just northeast of India. Rabindranath Tagore was born there in the city of Kolkata (previously known as Calcutta) in 1861. He was a poet, musician and artist. Tagore started writing poetry when he was 8 years of age and a book of his poems was published when he was 16.  In 1913, when he was 52 years of age, Tagore became the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. His accomplishments led to him being known as “The Bard of Bengal.”

Rabindranath Tagore’s National Anthems Reflect Freddie Mercury’s Songs

In addition, Tagore was a prolific composer and wrote over 2000 songs. Two of his songs were selected to be national anthems, those of Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Tagore died in 1941, in the city of his birth, Kolkata.

Freddie Mercury was born in 1946, 5 years after Tagore died. Though Mercury is known as a British singer-songwriter, he was actually born in Africa to parents of Persian (Iranian) ancestry who had been born in India.

Upon his birth, Freddie Mercury was given the name of Farrokh Bulsara. He grew up in Africa and then, when his parents returned to their country of birth, he lived in India.

When Farrokh was in his late teens, his family moved to England. When he was 24 years of age, he formed the rock band Queen, along with guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor. Farrokh Bulsara, at this time, took on the stage name Freddie Mercury.

Freddie Mercury wrote Musical Anthems, like Rabindranath Tagore: Bohemian Rhapsody

Freddie Mercury, like Tagore, was a prolific songwriter and wrote the majority of Queen’s hits. Also, like Tagore, Mercury’s songs, such as We Are the Champions, have an anthem-like quality. The movie about Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody, was released in November 2018 and became the highest-grossing musical biographical film of all time.

Freddie Mercury was bisexual and died of AIDS in November 1991. Tagore had been married to a woman and had several children.

Bryce Dudal as the Reincarnation of Ludwig Von Beethoven

A friend of mine, who has followed my work in reincarnation research, brought to my attention the musical performance of a teenage pizza delivery guy named Bryce Dudal, who, after delivering a pizza to a family who owns a baby grand piano, performed a flawless performance of a composition by Ludwig Von Beethoven.

A video of this performance was posted on social media, which led to Bryce Dudal being featured on an episode of the Ellen DeGeneres Show.  In comments made on social media regarding this DeGeneres episode, people noted that not only did Bryce Dudal perform Beethoven passionately, they noted that Bryce has an uncanny physical resemblance to Ludvig Van Beethoven. 

 

Ellen DeGeneres Gifts a Piano to Bryce Dudal, Who Aspires to be a Beethoven Concert Pianist

As part of the Ellen DeGeneres show, Bryce Dudal was gifted a Yamaha piano. Bryce told Ellen that his dream is to play piano, particularly the compositions of Ludwig Von Beethoven, to audiences around the world.

In a session that I had with Kevin Ryerson, who channels a spirit guide named Ahtun Re who has demonstrated the ability to make past life matches with a high degree of accuracy, it was confirmed that Bryce Dudal is an incarnation of Ludwig Von Beethoven.

Gustavo Dudame, Los Angeles Philharmonic Conductor, as Another Incarnation of Beethoven

Of interest, I posted another incarnation of Beethoven years ago, in which the conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, Gustavo Dudame, was also identified as a reincarnation of Beethoven. An image of Dudame in a tuxedo is provided to the right.

Split Reincarnation Cases or Parallel Lives

The reincarnation cases involving Bryce and Gustavo represent cases of Split Incarnation, in which a soul can animate two bodies at a time.

Ian Stevenson, MD of the University of Virginia also documented Split Incarnation cases. Stevenson termed these as “Cases with Anomalous Dates,” as lifetimes in these cases overlapped in time.

Burmese Grandparents Reincarnate as their Daughter’s Fraternal Twin Girls, Demonstrating Planning of Lifetimes and Gender Change Involving the Grandfather. The Past Life Cases of Ma Khin Ma Gyi and Ma Khin Ma Nge: Muslim Reincarnation


How Derived: Past Life Memories in Childhood

The Lives and Deaths of U Maung Muang and Daw Aye Hla

The name of the grandfather in this case was U Maung Maung and the grandmother was Daw Aye Hla.  For simplicity, we will refer to the grandfather as Maung and the grandmother as Daw. The couple lived in Burma, which today is known as Myanmar.

Maung was ethnically an Indian, of the subcontinent of India, but he adopted a Burmese name. Burma is just east of the northern region of India. On the map of Burma featured to the right, cities involved in this story involve Mandalay, which a hotel and casino in Las Vegas is named for, Rangoon and the city of Pantanaw, which is on the large Irrawaddy River just west of Rangoon. The Irrawaddy river is marked by the blue line. Click on the image to enlarge it.

Maung Considers Himself a Muslim

Maung’s father was a Buddhist, but he died before Maung’s birth. His mother remarried a man who was Islamic, and she converted to the Muslim faith. As such, Maung was raised as a Muslim. He did not learn that his father was a Buddhist until a year before his own death at the age of 44. As such, throughout his life, Maung identified himself as a Muslim.

Maung was intelligent, obtained an education and became a Burmese governmental official. He also had mechanical skills and enjoyed repairing motor engines, cars and even watches. Maung had a gun, which he would use to hunt birds.

He was observed to be honest and straightforward, but was vulnerable to flattery. As such, he was very kind to those who praised him.

Maung raised chickens. He would tie a string to a leg of young chicks and Islam reincarnation past lives cresent moonhe would tie the other end of the string to a post on his property, so that the chicks would not run away. Once the chicks identified the terrain as their home, he would free them, as they would no longer run off.  He did not eat the chickens, rather, he would employ them to lay eggs, which his family ate as a source of food. As a Muslim, he ate meat.

Daw, Maung’s Wife, Condemns his Treatment of Chickens and his Hunting of Birds

Maung married Daw, who was a devout Buddhist. Daw was uneducated and illiterate, but she was headstrong and bossy.

As a Buddhist, Daw considered Maung’s killing of birds with his gun and the binding of chickens by their legs to a post as misdeeds, which would create bad karma for him. Daw told Maung that these practices would cause him punishment in a future life.

Maung and Daw had a daughter, who they named Daw Mya Tin. For simplicity, we shall refer to their daughter as Tin.

Maung the Muslim and Daw the Buddhist Separate

The religious conflict between Maung and Daw became so severe that that the couple decided to separate. They both hoped to reconcile, but this never happened. They had been apart for two years when Maung died in the Burmese town of Pantanaw in 1950, at the age of 44. Pantanaw, just east of Rangoon, is near the large Irrawaddy River, which supplies locals with fish and shrimp as a source of food.

After her husband’s death, Daw started to cough up blood and it was suspected that she had tuberculosis. It was also thought that she may have contracted malaria. She died in the Burmese city of Mandalay in 1954, four years after her husband died.

Tin Receives an Announcing Dream in Which her Parents Reveal That They Would Be Reborn as Her Children.

The daughter of Maung and Daw, Tin, married a man named Thaw and they lived in the town of Ba Htu Myo.

Tin became pregnant and at 4 months of gestation, she had a dream in which her parents appeared and said that they would be reborn as her children.

Tin went into labor at 7 months of her pregnancy and on February 5, 1961, she had twin girls. The twins had different facial features and laboratory testing confirmed that they were fraternal, not identical twins. After the birth of the twins, the family moved to the Burmese city of Rangoon.

The twin girls were named Ma Khin Ma Gyi and Ma Khin Ma Nge. For simplicity, we will refer to them as Gyi and Nge.

Gyi Attributes Her Birth Defects to Her Cruelty Towards Birds in Her Past Life as Maung

Gyi was born with two birth defects. She had a major defect of her left hand in which her fingers appeared to have been amputated. She had a minor defect of her left lower leg in which there was a circular indentation, as if a rope had been forcefully tied round her lower leg which caused the defect of her leg.

Gyi started to speak when she was three years of age. Between ages four and five she began to talk about a previous life as her mother’s father, Maung. She stated that she had been born with the malformation of her left hand because in her lifetime as Maung, she used a gun to kill birds. She said that the circular indentation on her left lower leg was due to her tying chickens by their legs to a post. There was no history of birth defects in the family.

Gyi’s parents observed that she became sad and took on a ‘faraway” look whenever she talked about her past life. As a result, her father adopted a policy of suppressing her talking of a past lifetime. Though Gyi obeyed her father at home, she still spoke about her previous life with her childhood playmates.

In addition, Gyi expressed a desire to go to Pantanaw for the summer because she said there were a lot of shrimp and fish there. Pantanaw is 70 kilometers or 44 miles from Rangoon, where the family lived.

The twins and their parents had never been to Pantanaw, so Gyi could not have known this fact through normal means. Recall that Maung lived in Pantanaw at the time of his death.

Nge Tells Her Parents that She Had Been Daw, Tin’s Mother, in a Previous Life

The twin’s parents often observed their girls identifying each other from their previous lives. Gyi would tell Nge that Nge was Daw in their past lives. Nge would tell Gyi that she was had been Maung. Further, Nge, when speaking to persons outside of the family, would refer to her mother, Tin, as her daughter.

Nge would particularly talk about her previous life when she was scolded. She would object to the individual who scolded her and say that she had been Daw and that she resented being scolded. Nge continued to do so at least until 1972, when the twins were almost 12 years old.

Gyi’s Masculine Behavior and Traits that Reflected Her Past Lifetime as Maung, Her Maternal Grandfather.

Gyi strongly expressed masculine traits. She chose to wear boy’s clothes and did so whenever she could at least up to age of nine. She even asked to have a boy’s suit specially made for her, which was done. She also had her hair cut in the style of a boy.

Gyi preferred to play with toy cars and trucks, rather than dolls, which seemed to reflect Maung’s fondness for repairing engines and cars. She also preferred to play with boys, rather than other girls.

She also showed zeal in catching insects and then crushing them, reflecting Maung’s practice of shooting birds with his gun. Gyi enjoyed eating poultry and wanted to keep chickens at their home, much like Maung did. Maung was ethnically Indian and he enjoyed Indian foods, such as curries, and so did Gyi. In contrast, no one else in Gyi’s family liked Indian food.

Nge’s Feminine Behavior and Traits that Reflect Her Past Lifetime as Daw, Her Maternal Grandmother

In contrast to Gyi, Nge preferred to play with dolls, enjoyed dancing and singing, and she loved flowers. Nge preferred to play with other girls, wore her hair in the style of a girl and she was very concerned about her appearance. She kept herself cleaner than Gyi and Nge eagerly put on Thanaka paste on her face and arms, which is a cosmetic paste made from ground tree bark used by women in Burma as a beauty aid. Gyi, on the other hand, refused to use Thanaka paste.

Nge was respectful of Buddhist monks and participated in giving food to them. Recall Daw was a devout Buddhist. Gyi did not show respect to monks, which reflected Maung’s Muslim faith.

Nge was bossy, especially towards Gyi, which reflected Daw’s bossy behavior towards her husband, Maung. Gyi, in contrast, was compliant.

When the twins entered school, Nge was found to be less intelligent than Gyi, which reflected Daw’s illiteracy. Gyi, recall, was intelligent, educated and worked as a government employee. Nge would not drink coffee, only tea, which reflected Daw’s preferences. Gyi enjoyed coffee and tea, much like Maung.

The Physiques of the Twins Reflect their Past Life Appearances

At 6 years of age, Gyi was taller and had a had a heavier build than Daw. These features corresponded to Gyi’s past life as Maung, a man, and Nge’s past life as Daw, a female.

When Gyi was 13 years old, she stated that she preferred to have been a boy.

Were Gyi’s Birth Defects Due to Karma Related to Past Life Treatment of Birds?

Gyi, as a child, stated that the deformity of her left hand was a consequence of her shooting birds with a gun and that her left lower leg deformity was due to tying chickens to a post during her past life as Maung.

It is unlikely that Gyi’s deformitis were karmic in nature because if everyone who shot or mistreated birds incurred such birth defects, then there would be a large number of such deformities in the general population.

Ian Stevenson, MD speculated that thoughts in a soul’s mind can influence the development of the body during gestation. In other words, if the soul of Maung believed that he would have deformities related to his treatment of birds based on his wife’s admonitions, then these beliefs or thoughts may have been imprinted on Gyi’s developing body to create her birth defects. I too favor this explanation.

Principles of Reincarnation-Understanding of Past Lives

Islam reincarnation past lives cresent moonPhysical Resemblance in Reincarnation Cases: Photographs of Maung and Daw were not provided in Dr. Stevenson’s documentation of these cases, so we do not know if the facial features of Maung | Gyi and Daw | Nge were similar. It was noted, however, that the twins’ physiques mirrored their past life builds.

Change of Gender with Gender Identity Issues: Maung, the grandfather, was a male and reincarnated as one of his daughter’s twin girls, Gyi. Gyi demonstrated masculine traits, including playing with toy cars and wearing boy’s clothing, reflecting het past life as a man. Gyi also remarked that she wished she had been born as a boy.

In the series of over 1500 validated childhood past life memory cases compiled at the University of Virginia, gender change only occurs in 10 percent of cases. When gender change does occur, the individual is often observed to demonstrate behavior typical of the previous gender. Homosexuality can also result, as demonstrated in the:

Reincarnation Case of a Japanese Soldier | Ma

Change of Religion through Reincarnation: Maung was a Muslim, while Daw was Buddhist. Dr. Stevenson did not document what religion the twin’s parents,  Tin and Thaw, belonged to, but either Maung or Daw reincarnated into a different religion. To review other reincarnation cases involving Muslims, please go to:

Reincarnation in Islam and Muslim Reincarnation Cases

Relationships Renewed through Reincarnation: Maung and Daw reincarnated as the fraternal twin girls of their own daughter, Tin.

In Dr. Stevenson’s documentation of the cases involving Maung | Gyi and Daw | Nge, he cited a another set of Burmese cases in which a husband and wife reincarnated as twin boys. This case was documented by Fielding Hall in his book, The Soul of a People, which was published in 1898. Hall noted that the physiques of these twin boys also mirrored their builds in their past lives as husband and spouse.

Stevenson complied 31 sets of twins who had spontaneous past life memories in childhood that were objectively validated. In 100 percent of these cases, the twins had significant past life relationships. To learn more about loved ones who reincarnated as twins, please go to:
