Shared past lives

QUESTION: Masters I had a past life regression hypnosis recently, and I had the rare experience of living as a famous queen. This queen completely describes who I am as a person and why I am who I am. Everything I experienced adds up and makes sense. However, I am not the only person who has claimed to be her in a past life. How can this be? ~Macey, United States

ANSWER: Johnny Depp is the only actor who has portrayed Captain Jack Sparrow on the golden screen in five movies over fifteen years. He will be there no longer. Twelve separate actors have been James Bond in the twenty-six James Bond films, and there may be another in the near future.

The person playing the role does not change the personality and actions of the character being presented. Hundreds of presentations using the depictions of Captain Jack Sparrow and James Bond have employed hundreds of actors, but the audiences’ observations were the same.

A soul seeks out circumstances that will allow it to experience situations it needs in order to have the lessons chosen. If a soul witnesses an event that has all the elements it desires to have being carried out by another soul, it can choose to enter that role and play out part, or all, of the lifetime it desires to live, even though it was done by another.

That is one way two souls can share one lifetime – but it really isn’t one lifetime since they are doing it separately and not at the same time. Another way to get the information of the lifetime is to energetically run through the life without entering into a body. It would be done in a dreamlike state where the soul is projected energetically, but not physically, into the body of the original portrayer.
