Upon their First Meeting, Glennon Doyle and Abby Wambach have Instant Recognition of an Emotional Connection

I was watching a television show that featured author Glennon Doyle and soccer star Abby Wambach, who is also a best-selling author. Glennon and Abby are a lesbian couple, though Glennon was previously married to a man, with whom she had children.

In the interview, the couple was asked how they met. Glennon related that she was at a book publicity event at the Palmer House in Chicago. She was in a small backstage room seated at a table with other authors waiting to for the program to begin.

Abby, who was also participating in the event, opened the door to the room. Glennon stared at Abby and was struck by her exotic appearance. Glennon related that she unconsciously stood up and stretched her arms towards Abby, as if her body moved on its own in recognition of Abby.

At the same Glennon heard within herself: “There She Is.” It seemed to Glennon that she had been waiting for Abby all her life.

Abby and Glennon walked together to the stage and when doing so, Glennon touched Abby’s arm. Abby related that Glennon’s touch felt like a lightning bolt of recognition. They went on to become a married lesbian couple.

Walter Recognizes a Past Life Connection and Pursues Identification in a Session with Kevin Ryerson

When I saw this story on TV, I had a lightning bolt of recognition that Glennon and Abby were a couple in past lifetimes, as this would explain their mutual reactions upon meeting.

In a session with trance medium Kevin Ryerson, I explained the situation to Ahtun Re, the spirit guide channeled through Kevin who has demonstrated the ability to make past life matches with a high degree of accuracy. I asked Ahtun Re to identify past lives for Glennon and Abby in which they were a couple.

As is his custom, Ahtun Re said, “One Moment.” A period of silence followed, during which Ahtun Re went into a meditative state to search for this information. After a minute or two, Ahtun Re returned and told me very specifically:

“They were lesbian couple named Annie Adams Fields and Sarah Jewett, who were both female writers in 19th century.”

I had never heard of either woman, but upon doing a little research, I found that they did exist, were American authors and a lesbian couple.

I realized that this was a phenomenal set of past life matches. Please keep in mind that I do not inform Kevin before our sessions what my inquiries will be, so he has no chance to do research beforehand. I am always amazed at Ahtun Re’s ability to derive past lives.

Physical Resemblance in Reincarnation Cases: The facial features of Annie Adams Fields and Abby Wahbach are similar, just as there is a similarity in appearance between Sarah Orne Jewett and Glennon Doyle.

When comparing photos of Sarah and Glennon posed at a 45 degree angle to the camera, at almost a profile view, the resemblance is extraordinary.

Past Life Passions, Talent and Abilities: Writing talent is conveyed from one lifetime to another in these two sets of reincarnation cases.

Abby Wambach is a soccer star, though Annie Adams Fields is not known for her athletic ability. It may be that Annie may have had that inclination, but in the 19th century, women were not encouraged or allowed to play competitive sports.

Bram Stoker is the Irish author of Dracula, which was published in 1897. With this book, Stoker created an entire industry in the movie and television world focused on vampire stories. Though he did not create the horror genre, Stoker was one of the first famous horror writers. He died in 1912.

Stephen King was born in 1947 in the United States. He demonstrated an early interest in horror and began writing terror stories in high school. He has received numerous honors, including, ironically, the Bram Stoker Award and he has been described as the “King of Horror.”

Evidence and Principles of Reincarnation-Understanding Past Lives

Physical Resemblance in Reincarnation Cases: There is a striking similarity in the facial architecture of Stoker and King.

Past Life Passions, Talent and Abilities: “The King of Horror” can be used to describe both Bram Stoker and Stephen King.

Change in Nationality: Stoker was British, while King is American.

Past Lifetimes of Larry Sanger and Jimmy Wales

Denis Diderot is known as the co-founder, primary contributor and chief editor of the first French encyclopedia, known as the Encyclopédie, which was first published in 1751. It was the first written source attempting to present all knowledge as it was known in that era.

In a separate post, Jimmy Wales, the co-founder of Wikipedia, was identified as the reincarnation of Denis Diderot.

Diderot’s partner in creating Encyclopédie was Jean-Baptiste d’Alembert, while Wales partner in establishing Wikipedia was Larry Sanger.

It was logical to wonder if Larry Sanger is the reincarnation of Jean-Baptiste d’Alembert, as reincarnation research, including cases studied by Ian Stevenson, MD of the University of Virginia involving children with spontaneous past life memories that were validated, show that we incarnate with souls we have known in past incarnations.

The Reincarnation Twin Study of Ian Stevenson, MD

A dramatic example of how souls engineer being reunited with loved ones and associates from prior incarnations involves Ian Stevenson’s Twin Study. Stevenson researched 31 sets of twins (62 people) who remembered past lives in childhood that were validated. In 100 percent of these cases, the twins had close personal relationships in past incarnations. To learn more, please go to:

Larry Sanders as the Reincarnation of Jean-Baptiste d’Alembert

In a session with Kevin Ryerson, Ahtun Re, the spirit being channeled through Kevin who has demonstrated the ability to make past life matches with a high degree of accuracy, affirmed that Larry Sanger was Jean-Baptiste d’Alembert in a past incarnation.

In addition to being an intellectual who contributed to the human fund of knowledge, Jean-Baptiste d’Alembert was also a scholar of music theory. Larry Sanger is an accomplished violinist.

Evidence and Principles of Reincarnation-Understanding Past Lives

Physical Resemblance in Reincarnation Cases: There are similarities in the facial features of Jean-Baptiste d’Alembert and Larry Sanger.

Past Life Talent, Behavior and Abilities: d’Alembert was a founding contributor of the French Encyclopédie, much as Sanger helped found Wikipedia. Both were very involved in music.

Relationships Renewed through Reincarnation: Jean-Baptiste d’Alembert | Larry Sanger reunited with his associate and co creator of Encyclopédie, Denis Diderot, in the persona of Jimmy Wales.

Change of Nationality: Jean-Baptiste d’Alembert was French, while Larry Sanger was born in the United States. Understanding that souls can change nationality, religion and ethnic affiliation from one lifetime to another can help create a more peaceful world, as most conflicts and wars are based on differences in these cultural markers of identity.

Denis Diderot Founds the French Encyclopedie and Becomes the Librarian to Russian Empress Catherine II

Denis Diderot is best known for serving as the co-founder, primary contributor and chief editor of the first French encyclopedia, known as the Encyclopédie, which was established in 1751.

The Encyclopédie was controversial as it was secular and in articles, the veracity of Bible miracles were questioned. As a result, some of the writers of articles were persecuted and even jailed. The Encyclopédie was banned by the Catholic Church in 1758 and by the French government in 1759.

Diderot became despondent about the project and he suffered financial hardships. In 1766, after the Empress of Russia, Catherine II, heard about Diderot’s woes, she paid him to be her librarian, which he did until the end of his life. Diderot died in 1784.

Jimmy Wales Founds Wikipedia and Describes Staff as Librarians

Jimmy Wales was born on August 7, 1966 in Huntsville, Alabama in the United States. On January 15, 2001, with Larry Sanger and others, Wales launched Wikipedia—a free, open content encyclopedia. In doing so, Wales mirrored Diderot’s establishment of Encyclopédie.

Wikipedia has become the world’s largest encyclopedia. As a result, Time magazine, in 2006, named Wales as one of the “Top 100 Most Influential People in the World.”

I often use Wikipedia in my articles and I recently made a monetary donation. Jimmy Wales often sends Wikipedia fundraising messages and in an email he sent in September 2019, he related that Wikipedia is made up of librarians, which echoes his role as the librarian of Empress Catherine II of Russia, over 200 years ago.

Understanding that religion, nationality and ethnic affiliation can change from one lifetime to another through reincarnation can help make the world a more peaceful place, as most conflict and wars are based on differences in these cultural markers of identity.

Past Life Case of Jack London | Don Jacobs, PhD (Four Arrows) featuring Becky London, the Daughter of Jack London, Who Believes Don is the Reincarnation of Her Famous Father

How Derived: Don Jacobs, PhD, spontaneously played a melody on a piano that Jack London sang, a melody that was only known by Becky London, the surviving daughter of Jack London

Researcher: Don Jacobs, PhD

Article by: Don Jacobs, PhD and Walter Semkiw, MD

Don Jacobs as the Reincarnation of Jack London

Don contacted me and related that he had a proposed reincarnation case in which he was the writer, novelist and social activist, Jack London, in a past lifetime. Click on images to enlarge them.

Don wrote the narrative provided below regarding his story, which involves Becky London, the younger daughter of Jack London. His older daughter was named Joan.

Don also presents this narrative in a video provided below, which also includes a conversation between Don and Becky London, in which Becky expresses her belief that Don is the reincarnation of her father, that she sees her father’s eyes in Don’s eyes and in which Becky and Don express their love for one another. Don’s narrative follows:

Becky London meets Don Jacobs, Who Sees Her Father’s Eyes in those of Don Jacobs

“’I’d rather sing one wild song and burst my heart with it, than live a thousand years watching my digestion and being afraid of the wet.’―Jack London, The Turtles of Tasman(1916)

The above quote seems an appropriate opening for my introduction to the video interview of Becky London, Jack London’s daughter, which took place when she was 85 years old.  It was my playing and singing a wild song penned by Jack himself that first connected me to her.

It was 1973. For work, I played old-time piano for sing-a-longs at the Shakey’s Pizza Parlor in Jack London Square. I was in-between songs when a distinguished looking man asked if I could play a song for a group of people in the meeting hall upstairs during my next break. He told me the people were members of The Jack London Buffs Association and they were having their annual meeting.

He handed me a mimeographed copy of poetry entitled, The Abalone Song, with the names Jack London, Ambroce Bierce, George Sterling, Mary Austin and Gellet Burgess under the title. He said some of the lyrics were first published in Jack’s book, The Valley of the Moon, where one of his fictional characters teaches others the importance of singing a sacred song about abalones.

This man said Jack and these co-lyricists actually sang the song in real life while pounding the white meat of the abalone picked off the rocks on the California coast.

I felt excited in reading the lyrics. I myself was an abalone diver, but the feeling stemmed from something else. I asked him if he had the music and chords for it. He responded that no one alive knows how the song goes. Just fake it with some chords and we’ll sing along somehow.

Don Jacobs Spontaneously and Unconsciously Plays the Melody of Jack London’s Abalone Song

I sat down at the piano and looked at the words on the paper. Immediately a melody came to mind and I began. As soon as I started singing the song, I felt a vague familiarity with it. Moreover, as the group of people sang along with me unabashedly, I felt a joyfulness beyond the wonderful feeling I always felt when people joined me in song. The lyrics are:

Jack London’s Abalone Song

Oh, some folks boast of quail on toast because they think its tony. But I’m content to pay my rent and live on abalone.

Some live on hope and some on dope and some on alimony. Just give me a tub of gin and a plate of abalone. 

Oh, Mission Point’s a friendly place where every crab’s a crony. But true and kind you’ll always find the clinging abalone.

And on it went. After singing the four or five verses as printed on the paper I stood up and waved to everyone as I stepped off the stage. There was an applause as I began my exit through the seated audience and several people shook my hand and thanked me along the way.

Becky London Approaches Don Jacobs and He Recites a Poem Jack London Could Have Wrote

As I was almost past the last bench of people, a woman older than most of the crowd gently reached for my hand and stopped me. Upon seeing her angelic face and snow-white hair, I again felt something familiar flooding into my consciousness.

How did you know that song?!’ she asked softly but with a voice that was trembling-not from age, but rather from some obvious amazement that confounded her.

‘Oh, I didn’t really know it, ma’am.  They just gave me a copy of the words and told me to fake the chords because no one knew the actual melody. Apparently Jack London used to sing it when he was pounding the abalone.’

I needed to go back to work but she would not let go of my hand. I remember feeling a desire to hold her close and comfort her, and so I stayed.

Then she spoke again, ‘Oh no, that was the melody for sure. I was 14 years old when Daddy died and I heard the song often when I was allowed to join him and his pals when they brought the abalone home and started pounded it.’

There was a gleam in her eye as she seemed to remember an obvious but rare joyfulness in her life. I stood there, a young man of 27, holding the hand of Becky London, 72, the surviving daughter of her famous father. Apparently she was the guest of honor. Then, oblivious to everything and everyone besides this lady, I reached for her other hand with my other hand and squatted down before her and for some unexplainable reason I asked:

‘Can I share a poem I wrote about 6 years ago when I was still in the Marine Corps,’

Becky replied in a whisper with childlike enthusiasm, ‘Oh I would love to hear it.’ I began:

That I may die upon the morrow,

The probability is high.

And though my love may weep in sorrow,

Still I know that I must try.

That I must try to dare it all

In spite of fear or danger-

That I must answer every call,

So life won’t be a stranger.

Oh is it courage that makes me challenge dying?

Or merely the belief that death is timed by fate?

Should I try and keep on trying?

Or merely sleep and eat and wait?

For many life is mere survival,

But I was blessed with strength and wealth

So I must search for the answers vital

For helping bring us back to health.

So let this poem be my epitaph.

I merely wondered and I tried.

I fought and loved

And laughed and cried,

But while living life I died!

Gently pulling her hands out of mine and placing them on her face she looked into my eyes and said:

‘That sounds like something Daddy would have written.’ 

Her words resonate all these years later and I find myself shuddering as I wrote them down.

Don Jacobs visits Becky London in Glen Ellen, California, where Jack London Built his Ranch. A 20 Year Relationship Ensues

I don’t remember if I asked her or she asked me for the visit, but the next day I drove from the marina where I was living on a my sailboat in Alameda, California, to see Becky in Glen Ellen. She lived in a room next to a book store owned by Russ Kingman, who was a well-known biographer of Jack London. Because Becky had not inherited any money from the estate of her father, Kingman had generously provided her with lodging.

I don’t recall what we talked about during my second meeting with Becky, but it began a close relationship that lasted for 20 years until she passed away in 1992. Becky spend many holidays with me and my family and I took her on her first sailboat ride and got her on her first horse. (I have photos for the book I plan to write about our story.) Becky London had a sparse relationship with her father, but it seemed that our relationship filled that past life void.

Our most important activity, the one she enjoyed the most, was when she was with me while I played the piano at various venues. Apparently many of the songs I played were favorites of Jack London, including Alabamy Bound, After You’ve Gone, Ace in the Hold, Won’t You Come Home Bill Baily, Shine on Harvest Moon and Ragtime Cowboy Joe.

I recall that I played and sang Daddy’s Little Girl with Becky at my side at a venue in Sonoma, California, where my wife Bea and I played regularly (Bea played the banjo).

During this performance, Becky cried. This song came out in 1906 when Becky was four years old, and she remembered her father  and singing it to her.

Becky London’s Unhappy Life and Jack London’s Wish to become a Piano Man, if He Reincarnates

Becky was a mercurial, humorous rebel just like her father. Unfortunately, she had an unhappy life. Owing to a bitter divorce between Jack London and his wife, Jack was denied custody of his two daughters. As such, Becky rarely got to be with her father.

Becky’s mother later remarried and Becky told me squarely that she resented her mother and disliked her new husband, who had caused her mother to live an unhappy life as well. Becky related that she did not want to capitalize in any way on being a daughter of Jack London.

Becky told me that one of the few times (or perhaps the only time) she ever spent an evening alone with her father was one of the best days of her life. She was eight or nine, I think she told me. She said he took her out to eat and then to a vaudeville show at the Orpheum in Oakland, California.

Becky said Jack’s favorite act at the show was a fellow who played some ragtime and popular tunes of the day on a piano. While playing a particularly lively song, one she said I play often (I wish I could remember which one!), Jack leaned over and whispered in her ear that if he gets to ‘come back,’ after he leaves this world,  he wants to be able to do ‘that’ and he pointed at the piano man.

Becky and I shared many experiences over many years prior to the video interview presented below. I hope it inspires an understanding of the great mysterious connections we have throughout our many lifetimes.  Perhaps some day I will write a book about this and about how Jack London and I both share a strong American Indian past lifetime as well.

Notes by Walter Semkiw, MD regarding Don Jacobs as the Reincarnation of Jack London

This reincarnation case is compelling, based on Becky London’s recognition of Don as her father reborn, as well as how Don Jacobs unconsciously and spontaneously reproduced the melody of Jack London’s Abalone Song. Many reincarnation cases show that talent and artistic development can be replicated from one lifetime to another.

For example, in the reincarnation case of Paul Gauguin | Peter Teekamp, Peter, in childhood, unconsciously replicated sketches that Paul Gauguin produced. In the Anne Frank | Barbro Karlen case, Barbro was a childhood writing prodigy, much like Anne. To learn more, please go to:

Past Life Parallels Between Jack London and Don Jacobs

Jack London told his daughter, Becky, as they were enjoying a performance of an “Old Time” American piano player, that if he reincarnates, he would like to become a piano player. Don Jacobs started to play the piano at the age of 4 and went on to become a world champion of “Old Time” piano playing. Don Jacobs had never took a piano lesson in his life. The image to the right features Don performing.

View: Don Jacobs at 2016 Old Time Piano Championship

This Don Jacobs being able to play piano without any instruction indicates that souls can learn abilities in the spirit world, which they will express in physical life.

Further, the piano songs that Don mastered were the compositions of Jack London’s era. In fact, Becky London told Don that the piano pieces that he spontaneously played were the favorites of her father, Jack London.

Jack London was a socialist who promoted unionization of American workers. Don Jacobs relates that he was born into a strong labor union family. Don’s grandfather was first International Labor Union (ILO) representative under the administration of US President Harry Truman. Don’s grandfather was also the Vice-President of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW). Don has also been a pro-labor activist.

This sort of association or correspondence can occur because people plan lifetimes to be reunited with loved ones from past incarnations. Though we don’t know who Don’s relatives were in the lifetime of Jack London, they were likely London’s associates, perhaps even people Jack sang the Abalone Song with. To learn more, please go to:

Planning Lifetimes and Relationships Renewed

Jack London became a pioneer of writing fiction that was successful financially. Many of his stories involved adventures in nature. London is considered one of the most successful novel writers of all time.

Don Jacobs has written over 20 books and hundreds of peer-reviewed journal articles. Don reflects that the topics of his articles are the same as the ones that Jack London had written about.

Jack London’s last book, Star Rover, is about past life memories. Don Jacobs became an expert in hypnosis and past life regression, and even taught a master’s degree program in hypnosis at the University of California, Berkeley.

Jack London succumbed to early death at the age of 40, in part due to tobacco smoking and alcohol abuse. Don Jacobs has been a health advocate and has had multiple books published on physical fitness and substance abuse.

Jack London was an accomplished sailor who honed his skills on the San Francisco Bay. He also sailed around the Channel Islands in Southern California, near Los Angeles.

When Don retired from the US Marines with the rank of Captain, he bought a sailboat that he lived on and he replicated the sailing journeys of London, before Don learned that Jack had also done these same water journeys. Other athletic endeavors that Jack and Don have shared include surfing and boxing.

Jack London was an expert horseman. Don Jacobs also became a champion horseman who was selected first alternative for the 1996 Olympic Equestrian Endurance Team. Of interest, the first biography of Jack London was written by Irving Stone and was entitled, Sailor on Horseback.

Another mutual passion that Jack London and Don Jacobs have shared is diving to harvest abalone on the California coast. Don, for 20 years, dived every Sunday to pluck abalone from underwater rocks.

Don has shared that Jack London was extremely critical of education and saw it as a creating “collective stupidity.” Apparently, in an effort to remedy this problem, Don has written many books on education and he serves as a Professor at Fielding Graduate University.

Jack London was admitted to the prestigious University of California, Berkeley, but had to drop out after one semester due to financial problems. Don shares that he taught for a time at UC, Berkeley and that at that time, he remembers “a vague feeling of a sort of redemption.”

Don also related that London admired Mexican people. Don has maintained a home in Mexico for 20 years and is a permanent resident of that country, though he lives in other parts of North America as well.

As described above, the way the reincarnation case of Jack London | Don Jacobs was derived when Don was asked to play a piano accompaniment for the London’s Abalone Song, so that Jack’s daughter, Becky London, and her friends could sing along. Don unconsciously replicated the melody for this song that Jack and his buddies sang. Over time, Becky became certain that Don is the reincarnation of her father and the end of her videotaped discussion with Don, provided below, her last words are: “I know it because I see him in your eyes.”

Don Jacobs is the Affirmed as the Reincarnation of Jack London and Don’s Affinity for American Indian Culture is Explained

Though Don Jacobs himself learned of his past life as Jack London though his relationship with Becky London, in such reincarnation cases I seek the assessment of a spirit guide named Ahtun Re, who is channeled through the world-famous trance medium Kevin Ryerson. I have worked with Kevin on a monthly basis since 2001 and have found that Ahtun Re has the ability to make past life matches with a high degree of accuracy.

In a session with Kevin that took place in 2019, I asked if Don Jacobs is the reincarnation of Jack London. Ahtun Re replied that this is true. Jack London, by the way died on November 22, 1916, while Don was born on June 13, 1946, about 30 years after London’s death.

Don has had an intense affinity for American Indian culture and even uses the formal name of “Don Jacobs (Four Arrows).” Ethnically, Don is Cherokee and Irish, so he does have Native American blood. Don explained that the Lakota tribe gave him the name “Four Arrows” after he had a vision that was past of ceremony. In this vision he saw four arrows shooting up from the middle of a lake, each going in a different direction. When the arrows landed, they turned each turned into a different animal, specifically a horse, wolf, cougar and fawn. The Lakota subsequently gave him the name Wahinkpe Topa, which means Four Arrows.

In my session with Kevin, I asked Ahtun Re if Don also had a Native American past life that could account for his extraordinary attachment to Native American culture.

Ahtun Re responded that Don, prior to his lifetime as Jack London, was an Indian Chief named Four Bears, of the Mandan North Dakota Tribe. He received this name as in a particular battle, his tribe observed that he fought with the strength of four bears. Four Bears died on July 30, 1837, while Jack London was January 12, 1876.

When I wrote to Don to inform him of this revelation, after researching Four Bears, Don related that he completely identifies with this Indian leader, in regards to intellect, physical attributes and temperament. Don wrote:

“I’ve been up for hours studying Four Bears.  Even more than his facial features, his body type is identical to mine and I ‘felt’ deep connections when reading both his heroic and his tragic history.  It is surely not a coincidence that during one of my four ‘tours of duty’ protesting pipeline construction at Standing Rock, I bunked with a Mandan Indian and learned of the horrible contemporary injustices done on and off the reservation there in North Dakota.

Four Bears many writings on the primal awareness of Indigenous People have a natural flow in my life.”

Note that in two lifetimes, Don has had Native American names involving animals and the number four. Psychically gifted people can unconsciously become aware of past lives, which can lead  to repetition of patterns.

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.

Will cause tremors around the New City.”
“The sky will burn at 45 degrees
Fire approaches the Great New City
Immediately a huge scattered flame leaps up.”

These lines were written by Nostradamus in 1555. When the New York World Trade Center was attacked on September 11, 2001, many interpreted the event as the fulfillment of this prophecy made by Nostradamus almost 500 years ago. What made the prediction seem to fit, in an uncanny way, was the fact that the second suicide plane struck the second tower with wings tilted at a 45 degree angle. Due to this prediction, new interest arose in Nostradamus. I will now assert that Nostradamus reincarnated as veteran professional psychic Hans Christian King. Click on images to enlarge them.

I met Hans Christian King on December 7, 2003, when I attended a program entitled Three Mediums, which featured Hans, Maria Shaw and Carla Baron. I introduced myself to these three mediums and asked if I could try to derive past lives for them, utilizing Ahtun Re, the spirit guide channeled through Kevin Ryerson, who had demonstrated an ability to make accurate past life matches.

Spirit Being Ahtun Re Refuses to Reveal the Past Life Identity of Hans Christian King Except to Hans Directly

Hans greeted me in a warm manner. When I extended my hand to shake his, he grasped my hand with both of his. He struck me as a very loving soul. When I asked if I could ask Ahtun Re for past lifetime for him, that could be identified historically, he said, “yes.”

When I inquired about a past incarnation for Hans, Ahtun Re refused to reveal one. I protested, stating that Hans had given me permission, so why wouldn’t Ahtun Re give me a past life identity. Ahtun Re replied, “We will tell Mr. King directly.” He added, “It is an interesting one, though.”

I tried to arrange a session for Hans with Kevin Ryerson, as we were all scheduled to be in Las Vegas over the same weekend in January 2004. Unfortunately, logistics for a session didn’t work out, though we all managed to have dinner together on a Saturday night. I sat Hans and Kevin together, so that they could talk. I overheard Hans pose the following question to Kevin: “Why won’t Ahtun Re give Walter a past lifetime for me?” Kevin replied, “It usually means that Spirit wants to tell you something important directly.”

Walter has the Intuition that Hans is the Reincarnation of Nostradamus

 Reincarnation Case Study Nostradamus-Hans-King-Past-LifeThe evening and weekend ended uneventfully. A week or two later, I was pondering the situation. I kept asking myself, “Why won’t Ahtun Re give me a past lifetime for Hans?” It struck me as unusual that Hans used a three word name, Hans Christian King. I knew that when people reincarnate, they often choose to use versions of their names that have the same cadence from previous lifetimes. A good example featured in my book, Return of the Revolutionaries, is the case of Barbara Marx Hubbard, who in the American Revolutionary era is identified as Mercy Otis Warren. Not only did these women choose to use three word names in two lifetimes, but they also share the traits of being intellectual writers in both incarnations.

Though I wasn’t consciously thinking of the correlation of names at the time, I pondered the case of Hans Christian King and who he might have been in a past lifetime. I silently repeated the name, “Hans Christian King,” in my mind and suddenly, the name “Nostradame” popped into my awareness. I realized that Michel de Nostredame, the real name of Nostradamus, had a similar cadence as Hans Christian King.

Past Life Resemblance: Hans has the Same Facial Features as Nostradamus

I quickly checked the Internet for a portrait of Nostradamus and found that there was only one historically accurate image of the prophet, which was done by his son, Cesar Nostradame, and that Hans’s face matched the face of Nostradamus precisely. In a subsequent session with Kevin Ryerson, Ahtun Re confirmed that Hans Christian King is the reincarnation of Nostradamus.

When I received this confirmation, I telephoned Aaron Hunt, Hans’s personal assistant, to tell him of the news. Aaron was pleasantly shocked. I asked Aaron to tell Hans of the match. When Aaron telephoned Hans to inform him of his past life identity, guess what program Hans was watching on television? Hans was watching a program on Nostradamus.

Hans has made a living by giving psychic readings since he was about 20 years of age. He has been named one of the top five psychics in America by the Miami Herald, and Hans has been endorsed by Yale trained psychiatrist Brian Weiss, MD, author of Many Lives, Many Masters.

Spirit Guides Hans Works with Agree that Hans was Nostradamus in a Past Life

 Reincarnation Case Study Nostradamus-Hans-King-Past-LifeIn performing psychic readings, Hans works with four spirit guides. These spirit guides gather information for a client and pass this information to Hans telepathically. Hans then conveys the information to his client.

After he was informed of his past life match with Nostradamus, Hans asked his spirit guides if this was true, that he is the reincarnation of Nostradamus. Hans’s guides told him that this is true and not to let this go to his head.

Later, when I asked Hans if I could disclose his past life identity as Nostradamus publicly, Hans gave me permission to do so. When I reflected, “People could ridicule you for this,” Hans simply replied, “Truth is truth.”

Objective evidence of reincarnation demonstrates that people have the same personality characteristics, and often time the same gifts, from lifetime to lifetime. When I was in Las Vegas in January 2004, prior to the time when I came up with the hypothesis that Hans was Nostradamus, I had a session with Hans. Interestingly, the session was all about my future. I later ordered CDs that Hans produced, which featured sample sessions which he had with various clients. In all these sessions, Hans is observed forecasting the future for his clients.

There is a difference in the public image of Nostradamus, though, and persona of Hans Christian King. Nostradamus, due to his prophecies, is known as the “Prophet of Doom.” One the other hand, I perceive Hans as a “Prophet of Light and Love.” It is my contention that Nostradamus, who was trained as a medical doctor, a man who risked his life treating victims of the Black Plague in France, was misunderstood. Nostradamus was as much of a humanitarian as is Hans Christian King. His written work, Les Propheties, which established him as the “Prophet of Doom,” simply overshadowed the man, Michel de Nostradame.

 

Reincarnation Case of Francois Rabelais | Michael Crichton

 Reincarantion Case Study Rabelais-Michael-Crichton-past-lifeThe Hans Christian King | Nostradamus case led to an interesting secondary case. Nostradamus went to medical school with a man named Francois Rabelais, who became a close friend to Nostradamus. Though trained as a doctor, Rabelais became one of the best known writers in French history. Rabelais also wrote about the future and published Pantagrueline Prognostication in 1533, which was a parody of astrological almanacs that predicted the future. He is known for writing a fantastic epic about two giants, Gargantua and Pantagruel.

In studying Rabelais, I had a spontaneous intuition that Rabelais had reincarnated in contemporary times as another physician and author, who also writes fantastic epics. My hypothesis was that Rabelais had reincarnated as the late Michael Crichton, author of Jurassic Park.

This match was subsequently confirmed by Ahtun Re. Jurassic Park involves giant dinosaurs that are brought back to life. As such, the characteristic of writing fantasy epics about giants is observed in the lives of Rabelais and Crichton.

I had the pleasure of meeting of Michael Crichton at one of his book signings. There, I gave him a copy of my book, Return of the Revolutionaries. When Crichton learned of my work in reincarnation, he asked, “Are you the one who has posted on the Internet that I am the reincarnation of Rabelias?” I replied, “Yes.”

Reincarnation Case of William Wells Brown | Michael Bernard Beckwith

Michael Beckwith of Agape Spiritual Center Reincarnation Case, Walter Semkiw, MD ArticleHans Christian King died on January 16, 2019. In the latter stages of his career, Hans became a frequent guest speaker at the Agape International Spiritual Center in Culver City, California, which is led by Reverend Michael Bernard Beckwith. Of interest, as past life for Reverend Beckwith has also been derived. He was a 19th century African-American abolitionist.

Reverend Beckwith was kind enough to hand deliver a packet containing my early reincarnation work to President Bill Clinton when Beckwith visited the White House, while Clinton was still in office.  To learn more, please go to:

Past Life Case of William Wells Brown | Michael Bernard Beckwith

Principles of Reincarnation & Understanding Past Lives

Physical Resemblance in Reincarnation Cases: There is a striking resemblance between Nostradamus and Hans Christian King. The facial features of Rabelais and Michael Crichton correspond, as do those of William Wells Brown and Reverend Michael Bernard Beckwith.

Innate Past Life Talent: Psychic abilities are observed in the lives of Nostradamus and Hans King. Rabelais and Michael Crichton were both medical doctors, as well as very successful fiction writers, who both even wrote books involving giants. Rabelais wrote about Gargantua and Pantagruel, while in Jurassic Park, Crichton wrote about giant dinosaurs who come back to life through the use of recovered dinosaur DNA. The biochemical reaction which makes the rebirth of dinosaurs theoretically possible is Polymerase Chain Reaction, which was invented by Nobel Laureate, Kary Mullis.

Of interest, Dr. Mullis and his wife Nancy both agreed to be featured in my book Born Again as the reincarnations of Benjamin and Julia Rush.

Change in Nationality and Ethnic Affiliation: Nostradamus and Rabelais were French, while Hans Christian King and Michael Crichton were born in the United States.

 Reincarnation Case Study Horatio Alger Jack Canfield Reincarntion

In a session with Kevin Ryerson, when I asked for a past lifetime for Jack Canfield, co-creator of the best-selling Chicken Soup for the Soul series, Ahtun Re told me that in a past lifetime, Jack was Horatio Alger, who was also a best-selling author whose early works focused on inspirational stories of young people overcoming adversity.

 

Principles of Reincarnation & Understanding Past Lives

Physical Resemblance from One Lifetime to Another: A resemblance in facial bone structure between Horatio Alger and Jack Canfield is noted.

Innate Past Life Talent: Canfield expressed the same talent as Alger in writing inspirational stories involving overcoming hardship and he also replicated the success of Alger.

Affinity Case: Though this statement must be corroborated, a mutual friend told me that Horatio Alger has been a hero to Jack Canfield.

Effects of the Anne Frank Reincarnation Case on Civil Liberties

In the Anne Frank | Barbro Karlen reincarnation case, it is noted that Anne Frank was persecuted and died in a Nazi concentration camp because she was a German Jew, then reincarnated into a Christian family in Sweden. I point out that if the Nazis knew that one could be Jewish in one lifetime and Christian in another, the Holocaust could never have happened.

Similarly, if people knew that one could be born dark-skinned in one lifetime and Caucasian in another and vice versa, slavery, segregation and racial prejudice in the United States would not have happened.
