At almost twenty, only a few weeks after the performances of A Midsummer Night’s Dream in my first semester at university, I began noticing something extraordinary. During some experimental sessions with an interested fellow student, I realized I could tell people about their lives—even though I didn’t know them at all.

In my mind’s eye I would see images, scenes, and connections. The more complex they were, the more clearly they appeared, because I needed to understand them myself first. That’s why, back then, my second question to her was: “Are you newly in love?” She stepped back in surprise and said, “Yes.” I then told her about her new boyfriend, her ex-boyfriend, her inner conflicts, and the insights that came through. She found it all very accurate, and for both of us it was fascinating.

This has repeated itself many times in my life, in different contexts. The prerequisite is that the other person is open to it. A shared curiosity helps as well.

At 19, I had done a past-life regression with the healer mentioned earlier, and I gained insights into some of my earlier incarnations—information that, to my astonishment, was confirmed over the years. I had seen myself in London around 1600—running a one-man printing business into which I eventually brought in an employee. Over time, he took on more and more responsibility as I gradually withdrew, and I died at about 35.

Back to this lifetime: At around 26, for the first time without any outside help, I suddenly felt myself slip directly into one of my earlier lives—or rather, the information came to me like a flash. Walking across the grass in the English Garden in Munich, I suddenly knew: back in London it had been a printing shop.

It instantly made sense that I had chosen to study English, and that I was always drawn to the Renaissance and to the works of Shakespeare and his contemporaries—because I had once printed them. Not many of his works, but a few were among them.

At 38, after the first day of a spiritual conference at the foot of Mount Shasta in California, I was sitting in a Thai restaurant with four other participants. Next to me was a Portuguese woman whose first question to the group was, “What do you remember about your past lives?” I simply said, “London, around 1600.” Suddenly the 21-year-old from Pennsylvania sitting across from me started describing clothes and atmosphere. I realized he was speaking of London around 1600 and heard myself saying, “Hey, you could have been my partner.”

Only then did I realize what I had just said. And he immediately began telling me my own story of the printing shop—how he had taken it over back then and how, above all, he had loved handling the machinery. I, for my part, had particularly enjoyed moving in the illustrious circles of high society and joyfully securing printing commissions for fascinating poetry.

A few years earlier I had begun to tell other people about their past lives as well. Some who had already had such experiences with other mediums reported overlaps and matching details. Usually the people who experience this feel a deep sense of resonance, because everything that is shown to me always relates to their current life—revealing connections, causes, and also meaningful developments.
