Can Two People Be the Same Person Reincarnated?

In a recent reading a young lady asked me if she was a certain goddess reincarnated. Then she asked me if a very confident friend is also the same goddess reincarnated as she claims? She was perplexed how two people can be the same being reincarnated.

It is possible.

How is it Possible?

The first answer is the friend believes she’s this goddess. Just because we believe something does not make it true. It’s what we want to be true, but it may or may not be true. True as in facts and proof. My thought on this scenario is if someone believes they are a certain person reincarnated, let them. There really is no concrete way to prove or disprove it. Let them have their belief. It’s not worth fighting over.

The second answer is souls can split their energy. It’s been said that the larger-than-life characters that we know as Jesus, Buddha, St Germaine etc. are not one soul. They are several souls combined. These historical figures were clearly very powerful. They had to be to fulfill their mission on earth. As such, this combined energy is what allowed them to do and be the person that we know. It gave them their superhuman powers so to speak.

Therefore, several people can be the same person reincarnated. I don’t know about you, but I have met several women over the years and read about more online who claim to be Mary Magdelene. How can they all be her?

The answer is the same. Some may think they are but are not. And some very well could be as a result of the soul splitting concept.

The third answer is timelines. Timelines can also split creating alternate realities. Lady A can be Mary Magdalene in timeline 1, but not in timeline 2 for example. In the second timeline Lady A is no longer her reincarnated because the circumstances changed. Different circumstances create different timelines. And different timelines create different circumstances. Lady B could now be Mary Magdalene in timeline 2.

So, again, in this third scenario two people can be the same person reincarnated. It’s just happening in different realities.

To me it doesn’t matter which of these scenarios are true. What does it matter if you were Mary Magdalene in timeline 1 but not timeline 2? You still got to be her. What does it matter if you were Mary Magdalene as part of a composite soul? In my opinion, it doesn’t. You’re in good company with other powerful souls!

Don’t Get Too Attached to the Story

Getting too attached to the scenario is getting ego involved. Everyone wants a famous or important past life. I hear it all the time when I do readings. I hate to burst people’s bubbles, but we can’t all have been Benjamin Franklin or any other prominent figure. To play a key role in humanity’s development and ensure maximum impact, oftentimes souls that incarnate as someone powerful or famous come back again later as another notable figure.

Many times when I do a past life reading people may not have been someone so famous that we can name their name, but perhaps they were famous at a local level. They were well respected in their community or they were a famous artist or business person in their time. However, their fame didn’t translate down the corridors of time. People knew who they were then, but we’ve never heard of them now.

But again, ask yourself why is it so important to have been someone famous? That’s only your ego talking, no offense. If it makes you feel any better, since we’ve had so many lives there’s a good chance that you were someone famous at one time. But famous could be as I just explained – famous in your time only, never to be heard of again. In other words, your fame didn’t make it into the history books. But that doesn’t make you any less important in your time.

Plot Twist

Here’s one last twist to the story. It’s been said history is written by the victors. That makes sense. If a country was conquered, the victors get to say whatever they want because the victims can’t speak out.

Lately a theory has been emerging that history as we know it isn’t 100% true. Perhaps some of it didn’t happen the way we’ve been taught. If that’s the case, then it’s even more important not to get too attached to certain historical figures because who’s to say if they were who we thought they were? The Ben Franklin that was idolized, may not have been a good guy after all. Keep in mind that I don’t know that; that’s just an example.

Personally, I tend to allow for plot twists like this because anything could be true. Truth is often stranger than fiction. If Ben Franklin truly was the good guy that we’ve been taught, great, no one is upset. If he turns out not to be, there’s nothing I can do about it anyway. I’d be disappointed but what can I do? He was who he was.

Sometimes it Just Doesn’t Resonate

While I can do past life readings I don’t get too attached to any of it, not even my own. If it resonates with you, great. If it doesn’t, that’s ok too. It may or may not be true. Let me explain…

About ten years ago a lady I know did a past life reading for me. The life that she saw for me did not resonate with me at all. Not.One.Bit. Since I can do past life readings myself, I did not feel it to be true. When I scan my own energy, the life that she detailed for me does not come up. Was she wrong? Maybe.

The life she described was very upsetting to me. I was not a bad person but rather the victim of some devastating trauma. When I told a friend about it, she reminded me of the alternate timeline theory as a possible explanation. Maybe this lady was picking up on a life that I had but it happened in a different timeline. That could explain why it didn’t sync up with my memories or feelings. However, even lives from different timelines can be picked up on.

Perhaps I blocked it because of the trauma? I don’t know but I reject it. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. I’m choosing not to believe it. I have a right not to believe it. Anyone does. If I tell someone about one of their past lives and they don’t believe it, that’s ok. I don’t get my feelings hurt. We don’t have to believe something just because someone told us. Believe what feels right to you.

This goes back to the beginning of my explanation. If you want to believe you were a famous person in a past life, what’s it hurting in my opinion? Just please don’t gaslight someone into believing they weren’t.

If they want to believe it, let them. If they claim to be the same person you feel that you were, so what? As I explained, multiple people can have been the same person. There’s not just one reincarnated Mary Magdalene out there. All the people who claim to be her could very well be right. Who are we to say?


Are you dying to know? Who was I in a past life?

What did I do in a past life? Maybe it will explain why I am the way I am today?
