It was a "tell me more" like.

I thought it had more to do with synastry or similar placements than past life connections.


Well 🙂

It can be both...

There are certain artist though I connect with who have

horrible synastry with me....

Well, they are not horrible synastries if they make you feel that way.

How do you feel it to think you might have been her/him?

I never checked synastry. However, ever since adolescence I believed Fyodor Dostoevsky would have been able to understand my soul better than I could myself. And vice versa. I used to cry at sixteen because I felt the fact I became conscious of his existence and the very fact he was dead had torn a piece of my soul out. Though, I very much doubt that I would ever reach his level of genius and therefore can't imagine I would ever have been him.

You're right...

Horrible isn't the best word to describe it...

It's probably best maybe to say challenging over horrible yeah...

And all of this is a major sign that tough synastries or challenging

signs doesn't always have to mean a doomed relationship or similarities...

I've been best friends with someone since elementary who's chart

shows results of unlikeliness of even thinking about seeing eye to

eye with me when I would do test and comparison charts online

Bernini

Absolutely no ressemblance, I would insult his genius by making a comparison.

For me...if God exists...it was in this man's hands. Closest to immortality I have ever felt. I have no words for how I felt around his art and I've never had that feeling before or since.

Edit: Just realized he was an Aries Moon. We have that in common, along with water venus/fire mars.

The beautiful part about his books to me was always that if you read one again after a number of years...completely new psychological angles. 5 years since I read Crime and punishment..should do it again. Think I read everything of his I could find..wanted to learn Russian at some point to grasp all the intricacies that only unfold in a writer's native language.

Are there any artist that you feel connected to that are long gone?

Maybe you feel that you could have been them before your life as you are now?

Who are these artist that feel like long lost brothers or sisters to you?


My old singing teacher. She passed away a couple of years ago. I went to her for five years. I can't quite explain my connection to her.

You know it was quite ....magical the way I found her. I had been singing three years already. I had two teachers and I was not learning the techniques I wanted nor progressing with sight singing. I needed more diaphragm support and I was ripping my hair out after practicing months and not hearing the break through I felt my practice deserved. I had gone from a TERRIBLE teacher to a slightly better teacher. I had gone to all the best schools in My City.

You see in Dublin anyone who wanted to sing classically had to travel abroad. I wanted maybe to do that one day. But I felt i needed to make steps forward before that.

I was finding the pool of classical singing teachers TINY. And few had a clue what they were doing.

Then out of the blue, I was walking down a back street I heard singing...I heard this floating voice.

.it was GOOD. I stayed and I thought well if it's her maybe she can help me and if it's a student. That's GOOD.

I went and interrupted the lesson. The rooms used to be apartments above highstreet shops. And I walked up the flights and buzzed her down. Denise came downstairs. She was the most glamorous woman I had ever seen. And YOUNG. Which is strange for a singing teacher.

She told me if I waited until after the lesson she would talk. So I waited an hr. And after we chatted. She explained she had sung in London and the met. But her husband had then had cancer not once but twice. And it made her re prioritize life. So she went from singer to singing teacher.

She broke me down and built me up in every way, emotionally physically.

And after a while ...i became the floating voice ..that people heard on the street or on my road and people went ...who is that? And I would never say ...it's me 😉



I felt feel a very special connection to her. One built on ...music...

She would sing to me to demonstrate I remember feeling it was such a privilege to be so close to that she was a great singer....she would move me to tears sometimes ...or shout corrections until i cried ..then hug me ..

There are certain words schmidt ....every singer knows...still remind me of her...

And now she is gone.

I love how you describe all of this. all of it is beyond words.



And though she's (physically)gone...I feel shes still around.. still aiding you at times...

And when you sing, she lives through you from her teachings

I know ....it's so strange sorry if this is boring ..but in every singer you can hear traces of their teacher ..like you sound slightly like your mother or an accent ..it's like that sometimes..

I can say she understood me, my desires and emotions like no other living person.

I like to think I was her favorite student ...although I can hear her laugh at that coyly 🙂 Her husband used to say I was the only one she talked about at home. 🙂

Not boring at all.

It's amazing how others live through us in so many ways...

We leave off so many teachings and imprints onto others that

there is always this *satisfaction knowing we never really leave one another*

There is always some (back/front) door to returning to those we think are gone...



When I have rough days missing my mother, thinking about my mother,

Looking at my hands or looking at my eyes.. when these things are not enough...

Just realizing and aligning with her teachings help me realize that she really is

still with me, still here

Maybe is that the feeling that creates bonds between us and the important people and historical figures in our lives. This impression, belief, sensation that wherever we go, however we change, they will always be in sync with who we are to become. A great author. A talented sculptor. An inspiring singing master. The impressions they leave on us become part of us and influence us to the point where we try to reach past our self-imposed limits.

Yes, exactly. I personally think challenging aspects make a relationship lively. [Maybe is my own chart speaking.]

Lack of aspects would be worse. No spark.

François-René de Chateaubriand

I will never compare myself to this man, and i'll never find the words to describe how i feel about him and this " connection " so to speak but i'll try.

When i first read his memoir it hits me hard. So hard that i cried because i felt understood and " complete " for the first time in my entire life. Every word that he employed was exactly what i feel or think. It's like he described all the things that i can't talk about, like i have nothing to hide anymore, he saw right throught me.

If he was alive right now, this man would have been the only one who understands me completely and vice versa.

Edit : I did, just for fun, a compatibility rating and everything is 100% haha

By the way OP, that's a really great topic ^^
wow 100% ?

thank you Rozaeon.

I think about it a lot. these things.
