Dorothy Eady: The Reincarnated Egyptian?

Pretty sure if we had people who could enlighten us on peasant life in the past that would be pretty neat. So much history was lost because the life outside of politics, royalty and religion was just not considered interesting enough to record.

This, obvious example is that we don't know how they build the pyramids as we found no descriptions of how it was done. Some who worked on them would know. Now we might find the tomb of one of the administrators or architects with lots of details as it was important for them.

I was literally about to say this, in modern archeology fruit sellers, archetects, and even cooks and servents are almost more desirable than the rulers politicians artists and solders. The upper echelon of any organized, record keeping civilization is easier to learn about because those people will have their lives documented, sometimes in stone where as the lowly fruit seller is utterly lost to history. It's exponentially simpler to read hieroglyphs about someone's life than trying to decipher someone's life story off the one urn they stored their beer in that survived thousands of years and a more detailed account of their lives would be more valuable than the accounts of a king or Pharoah or advisor. They are the operators of the machines that is society, the fruit sellers are the gears that make up that machine, and that's where we have little knowledge.

[@coconutcore]

And in reality, the history of how life was for the average person is really the main point in a way. The big stuff shows how we got here, but it doesn’t show where we came from.

I would just like to point out, that the earliest mention (on record) of Atlantis is that of Plato - however he does say that this knowledge came to him through his grandfather who acquired said knowledge through an Egyptian priest who was also an important Wisdom Keeper. Before writing things down, Wisdom keepers believed in oral tradition and this is how it came to be with Plato until he came to document it in his dialogues. Regardless, I just thought it worth mentioning that Plato was only aware of it through a family member that yeah...got it from ancient Egypt.

[@foxhoundp9949]

So, I'm a classicist with the aim of eventually getting a PhD in Egyptology, so I've fairly knowledgeable about ancient civilisations etc. When it comes to Atlantis though, there are a few really interesting videos here on KZbin, one I would always recommend is one done by Jahanna from @funnyoldworld if people are looking for something fun, informative and bite-sized. Plato himself references Solon visiting with an Egyptian Priest in like 580BC (I think it is) in Timaeus. But yeah, if you're legitimately curious, there's loads of interesting info on this knowledge being passed down to him and Plato stated till his death that this account is 100% true. It was often debated for many reasons, the main ones being because it hadn't been officially documented prior to that (like I mentioned before, the wisdom keepers primarily worked with oral tradition), and because Plato sets this account up in the way of a dialogue between characters, as opposed to just documenting it as fact (even though he states that it is). This isn't a surprise though, as everything Plato wrote and accounted was in the form of dialogue. Hopes this helps, but I would 100% say do you own research as it's super interesting and really makes you think :)

[@rcrawford42]

Atlantis was a political allegory Plato wrote to warn the people of Athens about becoming an empire and growing too large/enraging the gods and collapsing. Believing it was a real place is like believing Oz, Wonderland, and Lilliput are real places.

[@patriciagfox1208]

It was not necessarily a bad doctor. You mentioned foreign accent syndrome but there is also a thing called Lazarus syndrome which is just what it sounds like, literally coming back from the dead. It's extremely rare but cases have been well documented. I happen to be someone who personally witnessed it happen. It was an ICU patient who arrested and was coded for a length of time while fully monitored. They were already on a ventilator and had no spontaneous breathing for several days. Despite immediate chest compressions and appropriate drugs and ventilation never regained a pulse or any cardiac activity of any kind. Pupils were fixed and dilated, no response to any other measures and was pronounced dead and a death note placed in the chart and a death certificate completed. It was a hectic day in the unit and it was an hour before the unit nurse and I were able to even start the death care protocol. As an IV team member my only actual responsibility was to remove and culture central line sites and tips. I wasn't too busy so I helped the unit nurse roll the patient on to a shroud and she would help the part of my job where an extra hand was helpful. I had the dressing off the CVC and was about to pull the line when the patient seemed to take a breath. Not too shocking since it's not uncommon for some air to be expelled when you move a deceased person. But then the chest expanded and more obvious breaths happened. We turned the monitors back on and saw a normal heart rhythm, slow at first but then up to 80bpm. Breathing continued which was especially weird since this patient couldn't breathe on their own before dying and remaining apparently quite dead for at least an hour. The attending was stat paged who at first thought it was a tasteless joke. That not dead any more note was one of the oddest things ever. The patient was never able to communicate with us during the several more days alive but made some verbal sounds and spontaneous movements while breathing on their own until another code at which time they remained dead despite all efforts. We really wanted to know just where they had gone for the previous death time. This happened in the 1990's so the medicine was modern.

I was told he had some of her "powers" and could do things like training horse in 5 minutes, talk to his horses and directions on where to go taking a trailer full of the produce he had grown so he could meet them there a couple of hours later to unload it, and using a pair of sticks to find all of the water sources on that land.

They formed a clear herringbone pattern, the layout of the subsoil drains laid under the sports field. Later a friend recalled how his building surveyors in the office had a box containing a commercial divining kit with samples of materials the diviner was to hold. This enabled them to find copper, steel and lead. I would love to repeat this exercise but where do you find the people interested in carrying it out? The science programme "Tommorow's World" carried out tests and demonstrated that someone in a suit made of aluminium coated fabric could not divine UNLESS a hole the size of a ping pong bat was cut out of the back of the suit between the diviners shoulders. They concluded the body's nervous system was sensitive to the presence of water and the divining rods twitched when the muscles behind the solar plexus contracted.

While their medical science in many places isn't quite up to the same standard as countries like the UK, Japan, the US, or OTHER parts of India, they are still far from using leeches to treat blood loss or waving chicken feathers at someone until they magically recover. Yet once every couple of years you see a story about someone waking up in a morgue freezer or in one case I remember from I think 2015 (don't quote me on the year for this one), someone woke up on the table RIGHT before the post mortem examination was about to begin. I'm going to say that again, because it is terrifying. A medical professional looked at this person, and decided they were dead. Yet ANOTHER medical professional looked at them, confirmed they were dead, and then put them on a slab in the morgue to begin an AUTOPSY. Right before they were about to be CUT OPEN they just sort of woke up.

Speaking on knowledge you don't know you had: if I wasn't the type to voraciously consume information, I might have been a tarot reader. I was amazing at it when I was young, until I realized I was just really freaking good at cold reading. I even started telling people I was using cold reading methods and they totally believed I was psychic instead. I eventually just started using the cards to have "come to Jesus talks" with my friends about stuff they didn't want to address. They'd always blamed the cards, not me :p

[@Ken_Scaletta]

I used to do the same thing with I Ching readings. I learned how to do that in college and even though I tell people I don't believe in it. they still sometimes want to cast their coins and see what it says. I Ching readings atre like horoscopes. Everything is supposed to mean something, but it's always vague enough that people intuitively shape it to their own situations. For example, a certain reading may mean "mountains" So "you will come to a mountain." Or you will climb a mountain" are both possible readings. It's all stuff like that wind and storms or gentle ponds or "an unexpected visitor" etc. Standard cold reading prompts. They fill in the blanks themselves and create scenarios where it perfectly corresponds to their situation and I don't have to do any work, but as you said, it does afford an opportunity to direct their attention to something without it looking like I'm the one doing it. They think they're figuring it out themselves. I have come to believe that the way the I Ching readings re designed is really smart and even functional in how it gets people to think about their situations.

I am native Canadian, so I was raised with reincarnation as a given. Not everyone has interesting past lives, some do. My mom’s is pretty ordinary, she was a little girl on a farm during a war who had lost her mother and while escaping the enemy she dropped her mothers necklace. Being a little girl she refused to leave without finding the necklace in the night, the little girl died never having found the necklace. My mom has had other past lives but none really effected her the way the little girl did. I’ve never sat down and done a full ritual to discover my past lives but when I was little I always drew myself as a Japanese girl in a kimono, eventually I stopped when people told me that’s not what I looked like. I didn’t know about Japan then or Japanese people I was raised on a native Rez in Canada so I wasn’t surrounded by Japanese women in kimonos. I totally understand that not everyone believes in the same things and I would never push my own beliefs onto others but In my Culture it’s just a common thing, spirits and all that stuff is just a fact of life in my family and we have skeptics, but skeptics tend to close themselves to those energies.

I’m a nurse. When your heart stops, you are technically dead. You no longer have perfusion to the rest of your body, and the rest of your body dies. If CPR/ACLS measures are successful, you are resuscitated, but you were dead for that brief time period. Brain death while having heart function restored usually means that the brain was deprived of oxygen to the point that most of the higher functioning has ceased. Brain death can be for just that one organ. Heart death means the body dies soon after.

On the subject matter of the "Divining rod" I have legitimate experience. When the utility company comes out to find water lines they will hook up to an electric wire and their sensor will find the current which is wrapped around the pipe and that's how you find the water lines buried under the street. However, there was an old school guy that would mark the lines only with a copper rod. Basically wrapped copper wire. He would not use the equipment. He would not use the electricity. He would mark every single water line underground with just a copper wire. Now. When I saw this I called them out and I said there's no freaking way. So he gave me the wire. When he explained the method of his it worked it was almost instant that I saw this wire was attracted to the water current under the ground. You can actually see the wire turn and go parallel with the pipe as you walk past the pipe. To me. It's still witchcraft but I've experienced it first hand and however it works, it is very fascinating.

In Hindu mythology the religious text says that every soul is reincarnated seven times as creatures at different levels of consciousness. Single cell, Tree (multicellular but non conscious as perceived) , Conscious animals (with hierarchies as to which holds a higher consciousness) also a Human and then The Transcendent Soul. The human body is given to anyone who has done good karmas as previous forms of beings for the purpose of having the opportunity to transcend the entire cycle by letting go of the illusion because you can only perceive that illusion when you are human else you are just a part of the illusion itself. I think you can be reincarnated as human multiple times. This pundit said i was a King once, A beggar and A Tiger and probably thinks i'm a bell in this one because lol. They will stretch it till the membrane of even a semblance of logic breaks, but in this view of the world the rules are different. It's a cool perspective though, i like many things about it. There is a lot of knowledge and metaphysical meaning in hindu texts and it's easy for people to reframe the words in their own narrative and sometimes it can be manipulative and exploitative. I'm sure Factboi & co. will find fascinating stories like this if you look into India. It was fascinating to see people can just develop this world view without being exposed to ideas like this that have already existed.

It doesn't necessarily lend validity to the texts, just suggests that some of the underlying ideas have some resonation with reality.

A good way to provide meaning to a person's life, salvation, escape, redemption or a chance for it are important things to contemplate and understand but not everyone has the luxury of contemplation so there are the stories about fruit of highest virtues, aim towards unattainable ideals, knowledge of the existence of hell and its many facets, facing mortality with some structure around you.

Using the anglicized version of Egyptian words is generally a bad sign. She was as accurate at pronunciation as poor Simon when he does videos on ancient China. The Egyptians lacked any form of "Shy" in their language until they began dealing with the Romans - who themselves had slowly adopted a few terms from the Celts. It is akin to inventing time travel, traveling to the past, asking someone what was going on in the world - so they respond "Oh. The World War is happening!" While the inattentive might just shrug and not, but to someone paying attention you realize you aren't the only time traveler around.

Assuming reincarnation is an actual thing, which is a huge assumption, we all have a far greater chance of having been something unimpressive like a dung beetle, head lice, crotch lice, etc than we have for having been a human let alone a human that was in some way impressive. If we just assume only humans get reincarnated then we have a huge problem of "new souls" since the people alive now make up about 7% of the total humans that have ever lived. In fact the new soul problem probably exists even if we add all other creatures. That would mean we're all far more likely to be a new soul than having lived before, and we're all far more likely to have been something extremely unimpressive in previous life even if we are one of the extremely rare old souls.

"There are more things in Heaven and Earth Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophies" The surest way to be wrong, is to be dead certain about something. Science is good ... science can't or hasn't been able to explain even certain things that are common TO EVERYONE, like consciousness, sleep, anesthesia ... we know they occur, and exist. We just don't know how. There is so much science can't explain. So much that scientists debate as there's no uniformity of opinion. Your just preprogrammed to agree with the side that doesn't challenge your belief system. Which is a lazy way to understand the world and Quantum realm you interact with. How will you handle If, one of your long held beliefs turns out wrong?

If someone has evidence of reincarnation that can’t be explained by simple educated guesses, I’d be very interested. I haven’t seen any. Neither have I seen anyone who claims to be the reincarnation of krill despite them being statistically the most common species on the planet, and therefore the most likely to be the soul that gets reincarnated. Every reincarnation is somehow a royal, famous person, or priestess who had an affair with a king. Why was she not one of the millions of nameless, short-lived peasants? Why did she happen to be a super special priestess who fell in love with a king? Why does the timeline of her story so perfectly match up with her own real life trauma and experiences?

Something long remained a mystery to me, these things I instinctively knew about a "time before" when I was very young. This was mostly between the ages of 4 to 9 and was long before internet and not really researchable in history books. I struggled but I was able to discern my name, my rank(s), unit size and type, branch. I even had some names of others he knew. In the mid 2000s I finally decided to start looking online, and holy shit, the guy was real, and so were the other people. Even the way he did his hair, was something I knew about the time before.. In fact, every detail I had true. Simon can mock this shit all he wants but it makes no difference to me. No I'm not going to say who.

I use to have a dream I would 3 -5times for 25 + years. In the dream I was in France fighting for Napoleon I died and I was buried on the way home. After I realized that then I haven't dreamt that in more than 20+years. Most people who have reincarnated have been Cleopatra or Julius Ceasar. I wasn't a world famous person!

[@eshbena]

Most people reincarnated weren't Cleopatra or Julius Caesar, but most people with grandiose self importance want to say that they were. XD

When I was a child I used to tell my mother I was a mom to three kids and I used to dream of this dirt road with clay houses on the sides. That’s all I remember though. I also think I read a story about a boy remembering his previous life’s murder and where he was buried and they found his body through his directions. Might be a false memory though 🤷🏽‍♀️

Reincarnation makes a certain sense in that consciousness is energy and energy cannot be destroyed, so perhaps that energy can be reused down the line? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@m8rshall]

Apart from consciousness isn't energy. And that's not how energy transfer works, Yeah exactly.

The theory parallels energy, sure.

Memory needs a code and something to read and interpret it. Where is the code and where does the code go? As far as we know the code is in our brain as neuron links and once those deteriorate after death your memories are gone. And even if they were not you still have no hardware to decode and view the memory. You body does all that. Smh… then you have the growing population problem. 5 or 6 billion humans today but only in the millions 3000 years ago so either most people have never had a past life or they don’t exist because you can’t divide 6 billion into 600 million and get an even number. Do what are we dividing people into multiples now?

[@williambrandondavis6897]

We are just like a tv or computer. Once you turn it off it’s off. It doesn’t go to some magical place. Destroy it and it will never be again. You can make another but it’s not the same just as identical twins are not the same. Even if you lived again as a clone you would not be the same person and would not have memory from the previous beings experience.

My dad was once dead on the operating table for a brief moment, I don't know how long but I believe less than a minute, and I mean dead dead no brain signal nothing. When he came back, he told people he saw absolute nothing, but when he passed of stomach cancer in 2012, I found a document on his computer where he wrote that when he died, he found himself in the Colorado rockies, naked but not cold. The esteemed Rabbi Hillel approached him riding on a donkey, met his gaze and told him "no, not yet". Everything at that point went black and he woke up hours later after the surgery. I have no idea why he kept that a secret, but at least he wrote it down.

[@jamesleatherwood5125]

Yes...I completely agree. Clinical Death and Actual Death, while normally quite close bedfellows, do not have to exist in the same frame of context. And interestingly enough, you don't get the "Clinical Death" tag added to your file unless they thought you were actually dead and either you weren't, they were able to revive you, or some other situation where there is lack of oxygen to the brain or lack of function in a vital body part for longer than 5 minutes. in other words. They thought you were a goner, but you were a fighter, instead. lol

I used to think children talking about a past life was pretty weird. I now have a 4 year old nephew, who constantly tells me that he built the road he lives on, drives his daddy's motorbike to work, and used to be a tree.
