Gettysburg

RhettB - Do you meditate ? It is said that Meditation holds the only real key to awakening memories of past Incarnations.

Hello from Canada. I am fascinated by your story and your dream! My sister and I visit Gettysburg whenever we can, and the last time we were there, she said to me out of the blue, 'We were here. I KNOW we were here!" I have had the same feeling, but not as strongly as you. Hope you can track down your major.
PS. This forum can take a bit of getting used to. Mostly we are great people with a huge amount of knowledge about the ACW. Give us a challenge like this, finding your major, and we get right into it. Brains engage and questions fly and, unfortunately one down-side with the internet is that it is hard to judge attitude with no vocal clues. We don't bite very often, and we love to help, so don't worry that we are not taking you seriously. If we thought that you weren't serious, most of us wouldn't have bothered to reply.
Hope your back is feeling better soon. Glad to have you with us!

Thank you very much--you are very kind.

RhettB,
I'm normally very synical about this kinda thing but I find you very convincing and thought-provoking. You have certainly arrived on this forum with a bang. Wecome aboard from the Emerald Isle.
Micky.

Thank you very much...I'm glad you believe me--it's chilling just to tell the story!

I do not meditate--I'm too impatient! But there is a "past-life regressionist" in Chicago waiting for my call...

That is just amazing! Thanks for posting.

That was bone-chilling! Excellent post! It made my week!

The videoof the 11-year old WWII pilot-I don't know how you got that, but I'd LOVE to have it!

Thank you very much--you are very kind.

Hello again; are you originally from the US? If not, I applaud you for your interest in the civil war, and wish we Yanks would take more interest in Canada (as I have a very close pair of friends in Nanoose Bay)

No, I have lived all my life in Canada, and to the best of my knowledge have no relatives who fought in the Civil War. My husband's family, however, were Loyalists but some of the family stayed in the US and I have traced a few of his relatives who fought at Gettysburg, and a couple who died there. I have no idea where my interest comes from, but I have been drawn to it since my childhood. I live on the East Coast.

Perhaps you, like me, feel that you were IN the war?

Sometimes, I really wonder. As I posted somewhere on here before, when I seen pictures of Grant, I always feel like I know/knew him. Very disconcerting!

Did you read my very first post about my connection to Gettysburg? It's redundant to tell it again, but it;s under "Gettysburg" forum. I know w ell the disconcerting feeling!

East Cavalry Field is one of my favourite places in Gettysburg.

 

[rhettbutler1865]

I only slightly knew about it. In fact, it wasn't until after the 3rd day of private guides, with no "chills" that I looked on the map and asked to go there. My dream of 52 years was right before my eyes...

I never said I was killed-just shot in the left side.

you said you were shot in the chest

A chest has a left and right side, and a shot there does not have to be fatal.

Understand your feeling completely Rhett! MrsMRB and I talk frequently about the same feeling regarding Gettysburg. Each time we visit the battlefield is akin to a homecoming of sorts. It is difficult to relate the aura to someone who does not share the same feeling. As soon as we find a day away from the workplace, we are Gettysburg bound once more!!!

I feel like I'm being "attacked" concerning my dream about Gettysburg--I have stated what my dream IS--and my feeling twice that I was shot at Gettysburg, as a Confederate officer (major in my dream). I can't back this up with PROOF- how could I? It's just a dream...and a feeling...and an obsession I have with the Civil War. My house is like a Civil War museum! Now, can I move on,please?

People aren't attacking you. They are asking for more information so they can help you.

Rhett,
My interest in your experience is far from attacking you! I find this fascinating and sincerely hope you find more information on your previous activities!!! If you do and are not comfortable posting the newly discovered data, please consider sending me a PM. I am anxious to hear more.......

I wish I could stop in every day! Happy "Hallowed Ground"!
