Past lives and Parallel realities
Posted: Wed Sep 04, 2019 5:09 am
I am not entirely sure where to post this so if this is the wrong section just let me know.
Over the weekend I had the great opportunity and pleasure of going to the Titanic museum in Tennessee. It was an awesome experience, and I learned a lot that I previously did not know. A really weird thing happened from the first step that I took into the museum though. I had the strongest, weirdest sensation that I had taken that tour before, or simply was already familiar with the people and the artifacts that were there.
Now, I know about false memories, the mandala effect, and all of that. I also know that, yes, as a Titanic history nerd I am familiar with some of the passengers and items that were on the ship, as well as the history of what happened, the movie and whathaveyou.
This was different. This was a feeling of intense familiarity, like by simply looking at these items I felt as if I had already experienced their presence and their story before even hearing the backstory. I already knew them, even some that I had never seen before.
I hope this is making sense because it is really hard to explain and I am beyond super exhausted. I know that there are some theories about parallel realities and deja vu, but I have deja vu really often and this felt different. I would say that maybe this is a past life thing, because of a character I was given at the start.
When you go into the museum you are given a boarding pass with the information of an actual passenger of the Titanic, and I was given the pass of Emma Bliss, a 45-year-old stewardess. She survived and ended up living well into her 90s, and when I saw a picture of her, it was like she was someone I knew by heart, like a family member or friend. I don't know, it was odd and exhilarating and I felt like sharing and getting opinions.
Now I am going to bed
