Looking at a video from the Chateau de Versailles rekindled my interest in the life of Louis XIV. Watching this video made me recall my experiences in reliving the life of that fantastic King who is now just another of kings and queens who have served time in their place on earth. Finding out that I had been able to enjoy a few moments in the life of Louis XIV opened an entire new world to me. I came to love the King as I found myself in his person so often. I have spent time in his being in both childhood, young adulthood, and mature adulthood, and what a time I have had. The most difficult thing on earth is to admit to having been a person in a previous life. I wrestled with that belief for some time as I went under so many times to learn as much as I could. Later, I found that what are called spontaneous memories would occur as visions of the King and his life would often come to me without my having to put myself into a sleep state to recall them. I found that I was literally flooded with many memories.
What is the purpose of all this? Why should one awaken one day to learn of a life previous? One thing that it did for me was to give me assurance that our soul life is an eternal state, that we do live throughout time and space in a variety of human forms, and that we can even retain the memories and the experiences of that time period within ourselves to be reached again and again if need be.
I actually then followed a trail. I have had a spiritual guide direct me through all these various lives, and at one point, I became truly overwhelmed to the point that I wanted no more. Yes, I believe in myself, but I also realized that there are physical consequences that I have had to learn in this time period to better understand the purpose in learning of a person in a previous time period. Because from Louis XIV I then learned of Alexander. It is interesting to me to see a bust of Alexander appear in this video which is why I had to view the episode several times over. I had also just read an article about Gerard dePardieu and Catherine DeNeuve that woke me up to life in France today. That was on Mailonline, a news service from the UK. It seems that France is angry at Gerard dePardieu since the new government wants to overtax the very wealthy who have made their fortune there.
Why these are interconnected...well, one that the King is who is responsible for the accumulation of wealth in the nation, and the redistribution of wealth. France has recently voted for a more socialistic government which in turn wants to take from the rich to redistribute to the poor. The King, Louis XIV, is often criticized for his having had so much wealth and displayed it so ostentatiously as he has done. This exhibition clearly shows the amount of wealth that he accumulated and how he used it for the good of the state. The King is who is responsible for the success and status of the nation so that he wanted the world to see how well the nation as a community was managing at that time. Most all of it was directed towards a building program initiated in fact by his personal minister Jean Baptiste Colbert who had urged him to gain his fame in that way.
The difference between self made movie actors or entrepreneus for there is another industrial giant in France who also has moved out of the country to protect his own profits and gains is that the King is controlling the wealth for the good of the nation as a whole entity. Yes, Louis XIV did certainly exceed and excell in his efforts to develop a prosperous nation, and due to a few wars, nearly bankrupted it as well, but in the end, it all finally appears to have paid off very well.
Learning that I had been able to find myself in the spiritual body of the King, learning his feelings, his habits, and his lifestyle, I have become naturally a defender of his. Will I write a book about his life? I do not know yet. I am busy working on the book about Alexander which is primarily a study of the influence of the climate of gods and goddesses who ruled his life, and when that is done, I will probably take up the cause of Louis XIV as I believe that I have been the person who lived in the life of both men. It turns out had it not been for Louis XIV I would not have discovered Alexander, a man who I had to learn in the same method as I had learned Louis XIV.
That also took me to several others who I will let off the hook for the time being.
But seeing the video reminded me of the good times that I had known in the life of the King, the beauty, the grandeur, and the fantastic fabrics and materials that all enriched my current life in the recollection of a time past. I had produced so many babies then that in this life I have had the luxury of producing none. There may be a lesson there. I am thinking about it.
But I will try to send the video to this blogspot. It impacted me a lot, and renewed my interest in a return to France soon. I truly fell in love with some choice areas in that lovely place known as the Chateau de Versailles. I will have to live in France for some time to do justice to what is for me a great memory!
While I write, I often see visions, and while I am sharing this unedited, raw as the saying goes, I had occasional visions return which is why I occasionally make an outburst like that aobut the number of children that the king had had. I again saw those beautiful lace gowns. Luxury is the key word for that time in the King's life. My life I believe.
