(1) Jehanne D'Arc du Lys 1412 - 1431 / Cynthia Level A
Update to Joan of Arc Investigation (April, 2007) The realization of this lifetime stems from several sources. In 2005, my friend Kathryn (at the time, very much a skeptic regarding past lives) read something concerning this time period and told me that she was suddenly "struck" by a sense that I was the reincarnation of Jehanne.
Approximately 2 years prior to that, I’d had a flashback of floating above my physical body while watching it being burned in what appeared to be a medieval town square. Looking down on it, the houses appeared to be tudor style. The sense that I had at the time was that this was somewhere in
After Kathryn’s initial disclosure, I was later identified by 2 more people (who had no knowledge of her revelation or my research into this) as the reincarnation of Jehanne. Upon commencing investigation of this lifetime, I immediately identified the reincarnations of Charles VII (prior "coincidences", immediate historical portrait recognition), and Jacques Coeur (name familiarity, followed by immediate coat of arms and portriat recognition) as two friends in my current life. I later identified Agnes Sorel and the others shown below through analysis of prior dreams, subsequent flashbacks, name and portrait recognitions, and other "coincidental" circumstances that have occurred in the current lifetime.

Charles VII (le Victorieux) / Daniel Level A Agnes Sorel (Dame de beauté) / Anonymous Level B I intuitively recognized Daniel as someone I'd been close to immediatley upon meeting. He then identified himself to me as the reincarnation of Chief Seattle's brother. Though I didn't feel that I recognized him from the Seattle lifetime, I did have a strong sense of knowing him from somewhere before, and immediately associated him with some sort of royalty or leadership role. I identified him as the reincarnation of Charles VII a few weeks later when I looked up the historical portrait of Charles, despite my initial skepticism at Kathryn's revelation. The subsequent father-daughter relationship recognition was made by him shortly thereafter during a period when we spent a lot of time together. Upon receiving this information, I realized that I had also intuitively recognized the reincarnation of Agnes Sorel via a dream I'd had 3 years prior, where she and I were in France together. As with many other people, the physical resemblence in both of these matches is quite striking.
I believe that prior shared lifetimes between Daniel and I (dating back at least as far as the time of Christ) combined with the consistent personality and physical resemblence aspect of reincarnation explains my (Jehanne's) ability to pick Daniel (Charles) out of a crowd in 1429, despite his and the court's attempts to convince me that another man was the Dauphin.

"That afternoon, around 5 pm, she was among those leading a sortie outside the city when her troops were ambushed by Burgundian forces and she herself captured when, after having decided to stay with the rear guard during the retreat, the gates were prematurely shut behind her, thereby trapping she and her soldiers outside. Initially refusing the demands to surrender, she was finally pulled off her horse by a Burgundian archer and agreed to surrender to Lionel of Wandomme, a noble serving under John of Luxembourg. The garrison commander at Since the Royal Court at that time was divided into factions, each of which routinely tried to eliminate any prominent leader who was supported by their rivals, it would be likely that a small group within the Court may have betrayed her. The evidence indicates that Charles VII probably was not among the guilty, however, nor did he abandon her, as is so often claimed: according to the archives of the Morosini, who were in contact with the Royal Court, Charles VII tried to force the Burgundians to return Joan in exchange for the usual ransom, and threatened to treat Burgundian prisoners according to whatever standard was adopted in Joan's case. Even the pro-Anglo-Burgundian University of Paris, which later orchestrated her conviction, sent a letter to John of Luxembourg frantically reporting that the Armagnacs were "doing everything in their power" to try to get her back. Dunois and La Hire would lead a total of three campaigns that seem to have been designed to rescue her by military means. These attempts failed, and the Burgundians refused to ransom her.
While Charles VII's legacy is far overshadowed by the deeds and eventual martyrdom of Joan of Arc, he did something his predecessors had failed to do by creating a strong army and uniting most of the country under one French king. He established the University of Poitiers in 1432 and his policies brought some economic prosperity to the citizens. Although his leadership was sometimes marked by indecisiveness, hardly any other leader left a nation so much better improved than when he came on the scene." - Wikipedia

"All his life Charles had been sickly and in his last years suffered from an ulcerated leg. Though he died of necrosis of the lower jaw, which made eating impossible, he believed he had been poisoned by his son, Louis XI, with whom he had been on bad terms for several years." - Worldroots "Agnès gave birth to three daughters: Marie de Valois, Charlotte and Jeanne de France. Charles's son, the future King Louis XI, had been in open revolt against his father for the previous four years. It has been speculated that he poisoned Agnès in order to remove what he may have considered her undue influence over the king. It was also speculated that French financier, noble, and minister Jacques Coeur poisoned her, though that theory is widely discredited as an attempt to remove Coeur from the French court. The suddenness of her death prompted speculation that she had been done away with either by Jacques Coeur, who was eventually cleared of any involvement, or - more likely - by the future king, Louis XI, who had been furious at

Jacques Coeur / Anonymous Level B I had intuitively recognized my past life parent's best friend through a waking memory of he, Agnes, and I being together prior to the realization of this lifetime. I identified him 5 years later via immediate recognition of his name while reading a historical account of this time. The historical portrait confirmed the intuition.

Arthur de Richemont / General John B. Gordon / Jeff Keene Level I * - General John B. Gordon life Level B + - Arthur de Richemont life I intuitively identified the reincarnation of Arthur de Richmont via my affection for my friend Jeff prior to the realization of this lifetime - dubbing him "My 5 star General", and through a flashback later on. Upon viewing the statue below, recognition was instantaneous. The miniature portrait (above) found several days later confirmed the intuitions.
"There is an area under my left eye where the skin is slightly darker and indented. This is the exact area where a bullet entered Gordon’s face. On the right cheek I have some marking that match the exit wound on the General’s right cheek. Mark number six is over my left eye and is just where Gordon received a bullet wound later in the war. Many of these markings can be borne out by photos of John B. Gordon in the collections of the National Archives and the Library of Congress. I was surprised and pleased to find that the Norwalk Hospital (Norwalk, CT.) still had the records of my visit to the emergency room on September 9, 1977 (my 30th birthday). I was suffering terrible pain in the area of my right jaw and neck that mimicked the facial wound Gen. Gordon received at Antietam (115 years earlier). This was more than a decade before I had ever heard of John Gordon. Gordon was born in 1832 and had been shot through the face at The Sunken Road in 1862, at the age of thirty. John Gordon is a part of me just as all of you are made up of all the experiences that you have gone through in your life (lives), a culmination of every kiss on the lips and every punch in the nose." - Jeff Keene Jeff's book - Someone Else's Yesterday - is an excellent account of experiencing the realization and investigation of a past life.

Very few people know that Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) wrote a major work on Joan of Arc. Still fewer know that he considered it not only his most important but also his best work. He spent twelve years in research and many months in France doing archival work and then made several attempts until he felt he finally had the story he wanted to tell. He reached his conclusion about Joan's unique place in history only after studying in detail accounts written by both sides, the French and the English. Because of Mark Twain's antipathy to institutional religion, one might expect an anti-Catholic bias toward Joan or at least toward the bishops and theologians who condemned her. Instead one finds a remarkably accurate biography of the life and mission of Joan of Arc told by one of this country's greatest storytellers. - Amazon Kurt Vonnegut's "Sleep" / A sword somewhere in France
Half Twain.... Quarter Twain..... Mark Twain.... Mississippi Riverboat pilots required constant soundings of the depth of the water in order to navigate. One fathom, or six feet, was “half twain,” and a depth of two fathoms was regarded as safe water, known as “mark twain.” Powers notes that “mark twain” is the point at which the safe and the dangerous meet. According to Powers, this is where Mark Twain’s writing is situated: on the “edge of safety and danger.

Pierre Cauchon / K.R. Level B For more than a hundred and fifty years historians have been debating the legitimacy of the 'Posthumous Document' which Bishop Pierre Cauchon placed into Joan of Arc's trial record eight days after her death. If believed, this document is more damaging to her reputation than the original trial records and in that way it is far more diabolical in nature. It is hard for me to understand why there should be any controversy when you consider the personal integrity, or the lack thereof, of Pierre Cauchon and those of his assistants." - From The Lost Chronicles, The Story Of Joan of Arc, by Virginia Frohlick

Historical Clarifications / Corrections 1412 - 1431: Charles VII did not abandon Jehanne; Charles, Jean Dunois and Étienne de Vignoles arranged several rescue attempts. Jehanne's jump from the tower was not a suicide attempt; it was an escape attempt. 1438 - 1483: Jacques Coeur had nothing to do with the murder of Agnes Sorel, nor did he escape from prison; he was freed via the assistance of Charles VII after it became clear who had actually poisoned Agnes. The accusations against Gilles de Rais were lies.
“Many contemporary attempts to explain Joan's visions have been based on the commonly-held belief that her visions were described merely as auditory sensations which only she could hear. This in turn led to the idea that she was experiencing hallucinations brought on by mental illness. The mental conditions suggested include schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and even temporal lobe epilepsy. However, the historical documents state flatly that other people (e.g., the Count of Clermont, Guy de Cailly, etc) could simultaneously experience her visions. As written in the testimony, Joan also stated that these visions often took solid, physical form that she and other people could see and touch. Doctors have examined some of the descendants of her family and found no evidence for a genetic mental illness. It can be pointed out that if this has a natural explanation, it certainly cannot be any known form of mental illness or hallucination.”
