For fun: What dead, famous person were you in a past life? AND WHY?

Question

You'll get the vote if you impress with your reason BEHIND the choice- for instance, you were Emily Dickinson because you almost never leave your home, find youself only wearing white dresses (could be troublesome if you're now a man), write boatloads of poetry and haven't yet married.. In other words, link up the attributes of the person with your own attributes.

The person could be someone who is obviously famous like King Henry VIII or Mozart, or it could be someone within a "realm" of notoriety, for instance, I have a friend who jokes that she was a member of the court during Marie Antoinette's time..

Have fun with this one, please. My favorite, creative response will get the vote.

I'm not asking if you believe in reincarnation, I'm only asking people to have fun with this question.

Thanks! ;)

Answer 1

I always believed myself like Ludwig Beethoven. He took his broken heart and expressed it in his music. I am not really musical but write. I have a secret love. I write so that my writing might one day reach that person. Because I am unfilled I can be cranky and misunderstood like Beethoven. I guess really its the depth of pain and triumph also through the pain that I can relate to with Beethoven.



Please watch the movie Immortal Beloved. You will be touched and feel his music more deeply than ever...

Answer 3

I think that I was a Roman soldier, maybe even the Emperor Julian. I studied Classics in College and I was immediately drawn to the "mystery" religions, especially Mithraism. Mithra was a Persian sun God, and his initiates were mostly soldiers. Julian came to power after Constantious and he tried to bring back worship of the "old gods." He was also a soldier and follower of Mithra.





P.S. I'm a complete pacifist but my immediate fascination with Mithra made me think this.

Answer 4

Cleopatra.



She was charming, intelligent, determined and contrary to popular opinion not as beautiful as she is portrayed in movies. Her allure came from her ability to seduce a man and to demand that she be satisfied with his level of worship to her. I am not beautiful either (though very attractive) and I know how to seduce a man with my mind and charms. She was cunning and passionate and got what she wanted. I always get what I want...even if they don't know I'm the one guiding the hand that's giving it to me. She was a strong woman in a world of dominating men. I have never let a man dominate me and am married to a wonderful guy who treats me like the Queen of the Nile. He is my King. Our passion for each other is as strong as her's and Mark Anthony's.



Plus we both have a weakness for hot Italian men who wear leather and armor and not much else. Yeah baby!

Answer 5

i was the queen of spain.

i went out to a bar with some friends one night and ended up talking to a very interesting guy. he told me that he thought by my features i was once a queen in spain.

then later that night one of my friends gave me an animal totem reading, one of my animals was an armadillo, and one of the things that an armadillo represents is a past life link specifically to the 16-th century Spanish conquistadors.*

ha, im not so sure how much faith i put in past lives. but it was an interesting coincidence.



*the armadillo explanation is from 'animal speak' by ted andrews

Answer 6

Dorthy Parker. Because I have lousy taste in men.
