185.0. "Cities Revisited, Relived?" by USFHSL::ROYER (Dave ROYER, KZO, dtn 454-3335) Wed Jan 21 1987 10:54

    Let me begin with an Introduction, I am David Royer, an American
    by birth.  I first stopped in Scandanavia at Bergen, Norge in 
    1960.  I was in the Navy at the time.  I later stopped in 
    Stavanger, Trondheim, Copenhagen, and Oslo.  I guess that my first
    love is Bergen.  On my first visit I spent the first day just walking
    around.  I never got lost later!  Bergen always felt comfortable
    to me and very friendly.  In the year that I spent 45 days in
    port.  I got to be able to understand the language, and was able
    to read the newspaper.  (not every word naturally) But I was 
    comfortable there.  Later I met some people involved with 
    reincarnation (I am not sure I believe as I am CHRISTIAN "LUTHERAN")
    and that would explain the love that I have for your lovely 
    corner of the world.  God made Scandanavia cold and rugged so that
    all the people would not gather there.
    
    Anyone else who reads these notes have any feelings about reincarnation
    and feel more at home in another town than your home town?
    Just curious.  
    
    I also found Belfast, Northern Ireland very easy, and In Salzburg,
    Austria I drove to the center of the city and took a tour from the
    parking lot where I parked.  Worst city in the world for me is
    Wurzberg, Germany  I stayed lost there and had to ask directions
    on every corner.

    I am from Boston (2nd generation) and have relatives from
    England, France, Denmark, and mostly from Ireland.
        
    Strange as it may seem, I too have had similar circumstances while
    in Europe.  Every time I go to Ireland I get a strange sensation
    when my feet touch ground outside the airport - kind of like a very
    mild jolt of electricity that lasts about 2 minutes.  I fly pretty
    regularly and it doesn't happen elsewhere. 

    Also in various parts of France (especially in Normandy) I've
    experienced "d�j� vu" where I am very comfortable with the
    surroundings and environment, almost as if I had been there
    before.

    Call me crazy!

    Jurgen, 
    
    No umlaute on this vt100, sorry.  I guess then we are not alone.
    Just like going home.. wonder how many others. I also like the 
    American Southwest..ie New Mexico, Arizona, Texas.  I am not 
    from there I was born in Michigans upper Penisula.  I have never
    been able to explain it.
    
    Thanks for the reply.

    i don't known what being a christian have to do with believing in
    reincarnation[nothing i suspect].To begin with you might read "out
    on the limb" and someting by Baba Ram Das [ one of the first books
    by him is "Remember be here now"] although i love snow and skiing
    i have felt at home on every island i ever visited[from Bermuda
    to Hawaii] because i know my previous life was on "New "Guinea".
    very intersting..this time around i started in a small village in
    Finland.
185.4UP IN THE AIR...USFHSL::ROYERDave ROYER, KZO, dtn 454-3335Thu Jan 22 1987 19:0413
    VERY GOOD COMMENT, I have read a lot of the Edgar Cayce series.
    his are very interesting and I suspect quite true.  If Indeed
    reincarnation is possible then I quite probable was a Viking.
    Also An African in another one...nothing of note that I can
    Put my fingers on..I have dreamed tho..of buckling on a set
    of guns. No, never anything more Just putting on a set of Guns.
    Two guns.  I have had this happen many times.  Also while living
    in A hotel In Pirmasens-Nord, Germany, I had the feeling that 
    my body was floating when I forced my eyes to open I dropped 
    to the bed..could have been a couple of inches..4-5cm or it
    could have been nothing, I do not really know.

185.5Environment genes?ELGAR::DARCYGeorge @Littleton Mass USAThu Jan 22 1987 19:577
    Aside from whether or not reincarnation exists, I feel that from
    my experiences [of travelling in Europe] that I somehow have been
    passed information from my ancestors concerning their environments.
    I don't know what this concept is called, but wonder if others have
    also given this a thought.

185.6Don't think so..USFHSL::ROYERDave ROYER, KZO, dtn 454-3335Mon Jan 26 1987 08:3612
    George,
    
    Since my ancesters all come from Quebec...France. ca1600.  I do
    not think that I could be influenced by them regarding Scandanivia,
    or Ireland.  Who Knows what else..My family has always stayed in
    the Mid-west USA except for Myself.. I have gone Nearly everywhere
    in the Northern Hemisphere.  (even less than 200 miles from
    Mermansk, USSR.
    
    Traveling is My favorite passtime.
