• Past Life Reading for spinksy

  spinksy

  In the life I saw, you were a male, born around the end of the seventeenth century, in London.  I’ll call him, “John.”  This life was one of the saddest I’ve seen, marked by an overwhelming sense of loss, and ending in despair. 

  He was the scion of an old family–an ancestor was knighted in the mid-1500s (not a hereditary title, though), and the family went downhill from there.  Third generation only son, the family’s fortunes just sort of petered out.  He spent most of the last of his inheritance on schooling and getting set up as a lawyer–a solicitor as opposed to a barrister.

  It was the London of William Hogarth’s time.  He was a hanger-on of that group, similar to the entourage surrounding many of today’s rock stars.  He was shown in the background of some of Hogarth’s prints, but never identified.  He knew Hogarth from school, and their relationship was both personal and professional.  He was Hogarth’s solicitor.

  

  In addition to the loss of family fortune and his disappointed ambitions, he experienced a great emotional trauma when his young wife died giving birth to their first child.  The baby also died, and he felt the loss keenly.

  A heavy drinker, he spent a lot of time and energy with negative thoughts–anger at his ancestor for not having managed to get a peerage (which would have been hereditary) and a seat in the House of Lords; envy of his better-known and more talented “friends”; contempt for those he saw as beneath them (no lack of them, though).  He was intelligent, healthy (until he contracted syphilis), and good-looking, though, but never appreciated what he had.  He was too focussed on what he didn’t have, what might have been.

  Finally died in his forties, of complications due to syphilis and malnutrition.

  If you find yourself at times feeling unaccountably nostalgic, fearful or resentful without good reason, it could be an echo from that experience.  On the other hand, if in this life you are grateful for what you have, and count your blessings, then you learned well the karmic lessons from that life.
