Singer Phil Collins fought at THE ALAMO!!!
Alice Cooper has his golf, Charlie Watts his classic cars and Eric
Clapton his fishing. Bill Wyman spends hours with his metal detector and
Rod Stewart is, of course, very deeply into his model trains. But it’s fair to say Phil Collins’ rock-star hobby outdoes the lot.
For Collins, the thrice-married Genesis percussionist and solo star, has become obsessed with the battle of the Alamo to such an extent there are mutterings he may be one drumstick short of a pair.
Collins, who is 59 and was born and raised in Hounslow, West London, believes that he is the reincarnation of an Alamo survivor — having been told this by a clairvoyant whom he met in Texas while on a trip four years ago.
Following his third divorce in 2007 and failing health (nerve damage to his arms makes it impossible for him to drum), Collins’ interest in the Alamo has taken over his life.
The battle in 1836 saw 1,500 Mexican troops lay siege to 200 Texans — including Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie — at the Alamo mission, San Antonio. All but a handful of the Texans were killed.
He’s told friends his life as Phil Collins the singer is now ‘over’. Studying the history of the Alamo, and collecting artifacts from the battle, has become an all-consuming passion. ‘F*** music,’ he rather sourly told an interviewer this year.
The full story of how Collins came to believe in his reincarnation has never been told before. Gary Foreman, a fellow Alamo enthusiast, recalled the moment that his wife Carolyn ‘revealed’ Phil’s former life as Texan courier John W Smith, a man who was know as El Colorado — the redhead — because of his hair.
Foreman said his wife called Collins over and shared her conviction with him. ‘When she made the revelation to Phil, his face lit up. His reaction was he felt very much at home at the Alamo and now it made sense.’
It’s a highly unusual and extraordinary story. It all started, according to Collins, when he was a young boy. He’s said in interviews he would watch transfixed as the actor Fess Parker portrayed king of the wild frontier Davy Crockett in the Disney TV series of the same name.
Collins says: ‘It was on every week. It just got me, and never left me.’ He would ask his parents to buy him raccoon-skin hats and toy rifles as birthday presents.
A pupil at the Barbara Speake Stage School in East Acton, which was co-founded by his mother, June, his first solo performance was of the famous theme tune The Ballad Of Davy Crockett. As time went by, he was drawn to other hobbies — he took up the drums when he was five, appeared as the Artful Dodger in Oliver! and as an extra in various films and TV shows.
Then came Genesis, global fame, a solo career and three failed marriages — which have left him with children in Canada, Los Angeles and Switzerland. But for the past 15 years, since around the time of his bitter break-up with second wife Jill Taverman, his main hobby has been pursuing anything and everything related to the battle of the Alamo.
His collection now occupies the basement of his home in Switzerland, where he continues to live in order to be close to his young children. The haul includes weapons, documents, battlefield letters, posters from the 1960 film The Alamo starring John Wayne, shells, bits of horse harness and army uniform.
He also prizes a receipt signed by Alamo commander William Barret Travis for 32 cattle used to feed the Alamo defenders.
And he visits San Antonio, where the Alamo mission still stands, every March on the anniversary of the battle along with hundreds of other enthusiasts, and has done so for years. ‘It’s not as bad as trainspotting,’ he told an interviewer.
‘I’ve met a lot of nice people over there.’ Including aforementioned Alamo enthusiasts Gary Foreman and his wife Carolyn Raine, a documentary producer, lecturer and Native American cookbook writer with a psychic bent.
Ms Raine, 52, is part Seneca Indian and a big believer in reincarnation. She ‘sees’ historic events and can place people within them.
About four years ago, she spotted Phil Collins in San Antonio and thought he was so intense in his Alamo interest he must have been there in a previous life. Naturally, she recognized him as a star, too.
‘My husband and I have been fans forever. Who doesn’t like Phil Collins and his music? He started coming to San Antonio on a regular basis for Alamo anniversaries and we got to know him really well. He is quite shy and likes to play really low-key. He is really nice and easy to talk to.’
Carolyn, who lives in Indiana, decided to give their close band of Alamo pals a gift. She spent hours ‘dowsing’ — swinging a pendulum across 199 Alamo defenders names and ‘psychically matching’ them to people she knew.
She decided Collins was John W Smith, a horseback courier who left before the massacre to take a message. He went on to become mayor of San Antonio. Although Collins lacks Smith’s red hair, she explains: ‘You don’t have to look like the person you were in a previous life. Those who believe in reincarnation run the gauntlet of looks and personalities.’
After matching up her pals with battle characters, she started to tell them. ‘They all want to know because it gives them something stable to believe, that they are not just nutcases collecting this Alamo stuff.
‘We were at a party and Phil was leaving. I wanted to nab him before he got out. I asked him what he felt about reincarnation, he said he’d got someone doing his genealogy. I said I wasn’t talking about genealogy. I said: “You’re Smith.”
‘Smith didn’t die at the Alamo, he had lots going on after that. He wanted to rebuild the city, transform it. It makes perfect sense because Phil Collins wants to do the same.
‘Phil was like everyone else I told. He looked quizzical. Then he went: “Oh my God. The very first thing I bought was a receipt from John W Smith when he had to sell his saddle. It’s my most prized possession.” I didn’t know until then that he had the receipt.
‘He didn’t think I was a kook — he told me his kids have told him before that he was there at the Alamo. Children are most close to past life experiences, they lose that as they get older. Phil said his kids knew.’
Gary Foreman is a historian and film-maker who is leading a controversial campaign to recreate some of the long-destroyed walls around the Alamo. He is being supported in this campaign by Collins. He says: ‘Carolyn’s psychic. It’s not something she takes lightly or delights in. She picks up on energy, she’s clever like that.’
Admittedly, Collins remains a little defensive about his reincarnation, telling Rolling Stone magazine he was not a ‘weirdo’ for believing it was possible, and producing pictures showing orbs of light, claiming that it was paranormal energy.
A few years ago, Collins bought into 76-year-old Jim Guiman’s History Shop on the edge of the Alamo. He tunnelled under it looking for relics. Mr Foreman said: ‘They found bullets, shot and rifle balls. It was fascinating.’
And Collins has even gone so far as to have a painting made of him in military uniform alongside the rest of the Texan garrison at the Alamo.
Where he once played stadiums, you will now most likely see him addressing historical associations.
He seems to come to Texas alone: his new girlfriend, news anchor Dana Tyler, isn’t much in evidence. He’s been given a tour of the newsroom at CBS where she works, and the two of them spend time together in his apartment in Central Park West.
But, it seems, when he walks tall as a son of Texas, he walks alone.

Another beautiful comment from a client...
I did readings for three people who were long-time friends. The readings were spaced over a period of several months. Two were men and one a woman. This is what the woman sent me when out of the blue today I emailed her a link to some information about a current astrological aspect. We had not spoken in a while. Note: David and Paul were a married couple. Paul was the first to request a past life reading from me. The others followed his lead because of how much they all got from Paul's reading. All three had known each other before... Patsy writes the note:
"Thank you for sending this to me. I have been
meaning to write to you. I wanted to thank you and tell you how much
your past life readings of Paul, David and myself meant to
all three of us. It really helped us understand
our relationships and allowed us to say things that needed to be said
to each other before Paul died. He passed away from his cancer on
December 29th. David and I were with him to the end.
Not only were we able to talk about things we
probably should have talked about all along, your readings allowed all
three of us to express our love for each other, in fact, it felt as if
the love between the three of us grew. When we
were together, it was almost tangible. Still is for David and me.
Before, we were all very careful about expressing our feelings so as not
to ruin the friendship.
We are of course going through the grieving process
and we know it will take some time. We both feel as if our lynchpin
has been removed.
I will be requesting another past life reading soon
(need to get some pictures together), but again, I wanted you to know
that you were of great help to us all.
Thank you!
Sincerely

Jill's Testimonial
My darling Lois,
May I firstly apologize for writing to you so late in time. I still remain humbled by the Akashic reading you gave me last month, still in awe as to how my life has taken a turn for the better all for having this reading.
Words fail me to express the gratitude I have for what you did, hence I am able to now touch so many other people in so many different ways. I am more in tune with my inner self, my life purpose and absolute direction with no fear. Your reading came after years of soul searching via mediums and psychics, books and life coaching. There always remained a missing link, during theses fifteen years.
As soon as you mentioned my first past life I had already guessed that the person in it is my present husband. The key started to unlock the truths. The subsequent lives revealed were so helpful in defining my personality, strengthening it and making me feel closer to the wonderful keepers, guides and angels who help me.
I followed my Akashic reading with a Consultation and this blew my mind. Your accuracy is immeasurable, the delivery of your words so touching. I strongly recommend one of Lois' Consultations to anyone following an Akashic reading likening the experience to going to a car wash then for a full wax job afterwards! I feel 10 ft high!
Lois darling, thank you for sharing your gift with me, and making sense to my whole being.
Please accept my warm blessings, in love and light.
Jill

Healings from Past Life Readings!
Rather than checking with the historical record, I check with the client. Quite a few of these past lives I see are prior to recorded history, anyway. Read on to see a letter from a client who provides me with what I believe to be confirmation of the validity of this work.
This is the type of "proof" I believe is important. ~ Lois
Dear Lois,
Already it has been a month since my reading, although it seems much longer. Regardless, I am very sorry to have waited so long to respond to your request. Of course, you can use any part or the whole of anything that I write to you or communicate somehow, and all of my reading and purpose. I think what you do and how you do it is spectacular and brilliant. I am your biggest fan.
My friend Liz, whose reading you did before mine in which she had questions about her daughter and their painfully contentious relationship, sent me her audio file yesterday. It came with this short note which stated that just as she had been writing a thank you email, having just listened to her session notes, and her daughter Amanda phoned her! She had kept silent for one month, which had never happened before, and then extended herself in contact. "Weird, and yet not," Liz said. They had a cool phone talk where each shared their doings and politely listened to one another. It was very respectful. This was unusual for them, and happened only minutes after Liz listened to the past life reading you did for her which addressed that relationship in past lives.
I had a similar experience with my sister at the time that I received my reading on 28 December. My question was about my rocky relationship with my sister. At the exact time – no kidding - that your email arrived in my inbox, my sister phoned me unexpectedly and we talked for an astonishing 2 ½ hours. That's never happened before. We had never been able to be angry at each other and stay with it. But for the first time ever, we had listened to each other, and did not interrupt. That phone call was the beginning of our healing.
After the call ended at 11am, I looked in my inbox and there was your reading and the time it arrived. I had checked earlier that morning – before the call – and it hadn't been there. I was in such an altered state of mind at that moment, that I felt I could not get any higher, so I waited until the next morning to listen to my readings.
Do you know that this happens with your readings? That before the fact, the healings start to happen?
My own reading continues to delight and inspire me. Every little detail that you related to me has meaning, beyond anything that I could imagine, or that you could know. I know that my reading is old now, but I will tell you just this: My first story opens during an avalanche and I am buried in the snow, but I have a "clicker" that I wear around my neck, that if used will pinpoint my location to rescuers. In this life, I have a clicker that I use to train my dog – it's a "new" style of training that is almost magical (the use of sound) – a dog can learn a trick so fast. It is like the clickers from my childhood, but it is in a small plastic box that I can hold in my palm or attach it to my wrist. In my past life, I lost the clicker when I was rescued. In this life, I have only one clicker, even though I've tried to buy a second one for backup, but couldn't find what I liked, so to this day I only have one of them. So, I feel that I must always know where my clicker is, and I become distraught and frustrated when I've misplaced it and can't find it. Where is that clicker, I ask myself? This is true, Lois, and now I know why. A small detail, but oh so interesting to me.
You told me about a life as sailor – I was the Chief Officer, and because I didn't follow the chain of command, lives were lost on my ship. Well, I am here to tell you, that I am a sailor in my heart and soul in this life. I have sailed as a passenger 6 or 7 times on freighters worldwide. Some voyages as long as 6-8 weeks, and usually I am the only passenger. The ocean has been Mother and Teacher to me, and sailing is in my blood. I am deeply intrigued by life at sea and the sailors that sail upon her. I know very well the chain of command, and exactly what the duties of a Chief Officer are, so I was certainly able to mine that past life quite deeply.
That's what makes your readings so special. You gave me an outline and I was able to color in the picture – to give it rhythm, shadings and nuance. It opened me right up to the wonder of life. It's hard to believe that everything is so gloriously perfect and put together with such elegance and attention to detail. Nothing is wasted, not even a little clicker. Our Creator is really something.
Well, that's all for now. Even though it's been a month, I'd like to share more of my understandings of my other lives, but I don't expect you to remember them, so I will just relate them in my own words, so you will know what I am writing about. Would that be okay with you?
With deep gratitude and many thanks,
Arlette

Share the Lifetime with My Wife?
.
Recently I did a past life reading for a man who has been married for over thirty years to the same woman. He had questions about his past lives, and recurring patterns, just like everyone does. In doing the past life reading, we answered most if not all of his questions in the five lifetimes which came up for him in the reading. However, something interesting came up in one of the lifetimes about his wife. I knew nothing at all about her, but I had seen a photo. She was very pretty, and looked quite young for a woman who had been married that long. There was a sweet, perky quality about her in the photo.
The lifetime that came up for him was on in which he had been a bit of a rogue, wandering the countryside in about the era of the Three Musketeers, wearing clothing that looked like they wore. He was in France at the time I saw him in that prior life. He was on his way somewhere, and stopped for the night at an inn. He went for a walk out behind the inn, and saw a lovely, innocent and sweet young woman milking a cow. They struck up a conversation, and he turned on his usual charm which worked so effectively with women. She was quite naive, and before long he had seduced her.
He stayed at the inn longer than planned, a couple of weeks, and had his way with her repeatedly. When he packed up to leave, she was distraught, having thought of the two of them as married. Men where she lived did not make love to a woman and then abandon her. She had no idea this could happen. When her father and brothers found out what was upsetting her, they did the best they could to keep him there, to get him to marry her. But it was to no avail. He was of an uppercrust family, and had no intention of limiting himself by marrying a milkmaid.
He did move on, and thought he would be able to forget her. But the rest of his life thoughts of her would surface from out of nowhere. He never followed up and sought her out, though. She was just another conquest of many, and he could not think why her face showed up in his mind's eye so often, or in his dreams.
She on the other hand, thought of him daily. When she soon realized she was with child, she became inconsolable, and ultimately committed suicide by hanging from a tree near where they had met. He never learned of this until after he passed from that lifetime. Part of the reason for their being together in this current lifetime was that he was supposed to marry her in the earlier one. This would have meant stepping outside the box of his normal life, but he would have been a much happier and fulfilled person. So would she have been. They came together in this lifetime to fulfill an earlier contract.
When I sent Craig his past life reading, he sent me back this message:
"Thank you very much for the readings. I have listened to them a couple of times now and will continue to do that over the next three months as you suggest. There are a few things as you noted that already hit a chord with me. I am sure that over time, there will be more I will get out of this.
I have no questions at this time, but one thing does come to mind I feel curious about. It has to do with the past life in which I was from France and while travelling I stopped at an inn. I met a woman who was in the back milking a cow, and I extended my stay as we became involved. The woman is my wife in this current lifetime. I ended up leaving her and she hanged herself. The question is this. My wife has always had a huge problem with her neck in respect that on one can touch it. She cannot wear anything around her neck, not even shirts that are high on the neck. No kissing, touching...nothing can touch her neck. I am thinking that this past life when she hanged herself could be the reason why she has this problem with her neck. Is there anything I can do in sharing this past life with her that might help her with the neck problem? Might it help relieve this feeling she has?
Thank you again, and I look forward to future sessions."
I was quite stunned to learn that his wife had these issues regarding her neck. I had known absolutely nothing about her except how long they'd been married and what she looked like. Here is my reply:
"Yes, that hanging experience probably does relate to your wife's neck issues. There may be other lifetimes contributing to the neck pain as well, but definitely this hanging business is the kind of thing that causes people problems in later lifetimes--whether hanging comes from suicide or an execution or is accidental.

Often when people share past lives with someone in the family who was affected by that lifetime, it heals the family member as well to know about it. The only question is, would she be offended by the whole idea of past lives? You have to weigh everything, of course, before sharing anything with her. If you think she might be open to the information, then definitely share; it will likely help heal the neck issues."
It is experiences like this, hearing about unexpected healing, or seeing the unimaginable synchronicity between the readings and a stranger's reality, that help keep me going. How does it happen? I do not quite know. But I am grateful. I look forward to hearing what Craig decides to do about sharing the past life with his wife. I will keep you posted!

Answering the Call
I, too, have had past lives, thousands it would seem, though I have certainly not remembered even a tiny fraction of them. Many times in life we have a "spiritual calling" and they come for various reasons. Perhaps this is a reminder of a contract we made before this incarnation - in the pre-life planning stages. Other times it is a plan we made at a Soul level after we incarnated due to unexpected events which occurred because of accidents or decisions we or others made after we have incarnated. These usually appear as an urge or a knowing that we need to study a subject, or we need to do something others might think is strange to be doing. But we just know in a way that is often inexplicable that we must do this thing, whatever it is. The urge or push to do it comes again and again. It cannot be ignored.
I am having a Soul level calling to return to the site of the Bosnian pyramids. I went briefly last August, and am going again this month for a longer stay. I know I have something to finish which I started there in a past life. I have even had glimpses of that lifetime, and know that it was tens of thousands of years ago. I wore a lot of gold in those days, even my skin was rubbed with gold dust, and I was carried aloft much of the time. My posture in public was very erect and rigid. I did not like being in the public eye, but unfortunately I was there most of the time. It made getting my Life Mission completed more difficult. I was a woman in that lifetime as well. My sense is that she was very lonely due to always being held aloft literally and figuratively. (In this lifetime, especially when I was young, I have always been consciously grateful for the freedom that anonymity brings.) The woman I was back then was a symbol of something, and she was born into this--it was not a choice she made after birth, but before. There were things she deeply wanted from life that she was not allowed to have due to her "position." It explains why I have always felt sorry for the sons and daughters of royalty and others in the public eye at too early an age.
Not at all sure what it is that I am to finish, I am forging ahead anyway. I know I need to be there again. Sometimes we must simply follow inner guidance without knowing why. By that I mean following those strong urges we get to do something, and then step by step allowing the path to unfold. When I have done that in the past, mustering up the courage to do things I was afraid to do, the rewards have been great.
I am going alone, and I do not speak the language. Rosetta Stone does not offer Bosnian. I have acquaintances from last year who will be there again this year, but I am traveling alone. I feel that this ability to do things all alone is one of my lessons in this lifetime. I think it is just about learned, though. And I know for sure that one of my missions this time around is to demonstrate courage.
The photo has the Pyramid of the Sun in the background; it is a photo I took last year. All the pyramids all over the globe are covered with several feet of soil and vegetation except for those found in deserts. The soil covering these pyramids has been dated by scientists as being 12,000 years old. That means that these pyramids were built long before that, and the civilizations which used them ceased to exist, or at least the pyramids were no longer maintained, over 12,000 years ago. We know nothing about any ancient civilization which existed that long ago in this location. It is a total mystery who built these and why.
Still I will be doing my usual work from there, the past life readings and healing sessions. Some of them I will do by climbing to the top of various pyramids and going into an altered state and recording the session into my digital recorder. I have already uploaded some of these sessions from a wifi cafe in Hot Springs, Arkansas, earlier this year. I can do it from a wifi cafe in Sarajevo as well. This promises to be a grand adventure! I will let you know how it unfolds. To follow the postings on this, go to my website and sign up for the newsletter. http://www.hotpinklotus.com
