Fire Chief Investigates Past Life as Civil War General: Group Reincarnation? (+Video)

Epoch Times, Tara MacIsaac, May 20, 2014

The universe is full of mysteries that challenge our current knowledge.

In “Beyond Science” Epoch Times collects stories about these strange phenomena to stimulate the imagination and open up previously undreamed of possibilities. Are they true? You decide.

Retired Assistant Fire Chief Jeffrey Keene stumbled upon evidence he says suggests he was Civil War General John B. Gordon in a past life. Furthermore, Keene’s fire crew seem to strongly resemble men who fought under Gordon.

In 1991, Keene and his wife visited Sharpsburg, Md., to look at antiques. Keene felt compelled to visit the field nearby where the Civil War battle of Antietam was fought, explained Dr. Walter Semkiw in an article outlining his work with Keene.

Semkiw received his medical degree at the University of Illinois–Chicago and trained in psychiatry at the University of Colorado–Denver. He is an expert on reincarnation with the Institute for the Integration of Science, Intuition and Spirit (IISIS). He posted his research on Keene on IISIS.net.

Keene wandered along a portion of the battlefield known as the Sunken Road while his wife stayed in the car. He was inexplicably overcome with emotion. In addition to the overpowering emotions, he had trouble breathing and the whole experience made him wonder if he was having a heart attack.

It passed, and he walked back to the car mystified at what he had just experienced.

At a friend’s party, he talked to a psychic. She asked him if he believed in reincarnation and he told her about his experience. As they were talking, the words “Not yet,” appeared strongly in his mind and he was compelled to say them.

Later, he found a Civil War magazine in his home that he had bought but never read. With a new interest in the subject, he decided to flip through it, and as he skimmed the pages, the words “Not yet” in quotation marks jumped out at him.

The magazine article told the story of General Gordon, who had emphatically repeated “Not yet,” while holding his troops back—during the Battle of Antietam, along the Sunken Road.

Keene also recognized the face. It looked startlingly like his own.

As Keene researched Gordon’s life, he found that some of the soldiers who fought under Gordon looked remarkably like the men on his fire crew in Westport, Conn. He also discovered parallels between marks on his body and wounds Gordon had received, and between events in his life and Gordon’s life.

For example, on Keene’s 30th birthday, he felt an immense pain in his jaw and face and went to the hospital. The cause of the pain was never determined and it subsided in a little while. A documentary filmed by Sci-Fi obtained medical records corroborating Keene’s account of his visit to the hospital. Gordon was 30 years old when he was shot in the face.

“I don’t worry too much about whether people think this happened to me,” he said in the documentary. “As far as I’m concerned, it’s proof to me.”

"... Non-interference

So in this energy, past the precession of the equinoxes, we've got some news: The first thing we would love to give you is what we call the "rules of the creator". Now, these rules are not what you think. Let's get even more specific. We will call them The Laws of God Toward Humanity.

These laws are not breakable, nor would we want them to be. We absolutely would never violate them. Spirit is not like a Human. There is no consciousness that is linear, with rules or laws that must be obeyed or not. These are different kinds of laws. For instance, the laws of physics are absolute and they have to do with the way matter behaves in your reality. The laws of physics are not laws being obeyed by a consciousness; they're the laws of matter. In a similar fashion, there are laws of spirituality - the way God works.

So let me tell you about some of them. First of all, for all humanity they are honoring, beautiful and benevolent. Would you expect anything else from the creative source?  Here is one law: We stand apart from you unless you invite us in. This is more than free choice for humanity; it is the law of the creator. Do we like this part? Not really, for our love wants to shout that we are here, but we can't. It's our way of honoring the Human Being's free choice. If you really knew we were here, you would immediately change and there would be no test. No. The choice to find us must be yours and yours alone.

Dear ones, the old energy of this planet was difficult for all of us. You awakened and you were in survival mode, and within the old energy the majority of humanity simply wasn't interested and didn't let us in. Can you imagine your children suddenly becoming different and not recognizing you? Can you imagine them wandering around and running into walls because they can't see? Imagine that you've got the only flashlight anywhere and they are in the darkness, afraid. But you can't use the flashlight unless they ask for it. They never call out for you because they don't even know your name! They don't remember who you are. You birthed them and you care about them, yet they don't know you exist. Can you imagine that? That's our law.

Another law: When you as a Human Being open your hand and your heart to a spiritual quest, things happen. Many of you even have a lineage of Akashic remembrance about how that feels (and perhaps the trouble it brings in an old energy). When you begin to answer that internal spiritual question, "Is there more?", you allow us in. At that moment, everything changes and we begin to communicate. That's our law. But when more and more of you do this, the law expands to other attributes around you also. Then they begin to change also. When enough Humans begin this process, the very planet begins to shift. It's called fast-tracking.

Now, this is where it gets good. The shift also has to do with what you have called the sensitivity of energy within the Human Being. When you walk into a battlefield where the Crystalline Grid has remembered what happened there, you feel the drama of it. This is changing, and we told you about that. However, let's say you walk into that battlefield with another. You feel it, but they don't. The dialogue might go like this:

"What's wrong with you?"

You might say, "Don't you feel the energy here?"

"What energy? What do you mean?" they reply.

"Something happened here. Don't you feel it?"

"No, I don't."

That's when they look at you and think perhaps you're pretending, or that you want attention, or that you're "playing the role" of the oversensitive spiritual person. What is the difference between you and them? The answer is this: You're letting this awareness in and they're blocking it. We're going to talk about blocks in a moment.

Some of you will walk into the forest and you'll feel it. It surrounds you with its love and beauty. Gaia speaks to you. The trees are pushing out oxygen with a benevolent system of photosynthesis. The plants give you oxygen and you give them carbon dioxide. What a system! Look around. Science will say that system happened by accident - a random occurrence. Do you believe that? What a beautiful system! The trees themselves know who you are. You walk into the forest and you feel it hug you, but perhaps another is next to you who came with a chainsaw. They don't care and they don't feel it. To them, the forest is only a resource. What's the difference between the two of you? There's no judgment here, I'm just asking you. What do you think the difference is? The answer: You're letting multidimensional awareness in and they are not. You see, you are becoming more aware of multidimensional soul communication. In this case, it's your enormous soul energy communicating with the other parts of the planet who are also multidimensional.

When you make the decision that it's OK to feel this energy, it will be there. Most of humanity so far has not made that decision. They block it. The law is this - this communication will come to you only with your allowance. The moment you open the door of allowance, you may begin to feel it. Those are our rules.

It's not just allowance for communication from the creative source, but also from an amazing number of what we would call other benevolent energies. These others are represented by groups with names that you have given them. They also cannot get through to you unless you allow it. That's their rule as well. Your names for them are Pleiadians, Arcturians, Sirians, Hathors or those from Orion. There are many more, but unless you open to the possibility of them, they can't communicate either.

Most of humanity will stand next to you as you communicate and think you're not well. That's the way it looks to them. Listen, dear ones, the benevolent groups who represent your DNA essence [your seed biology] and who know who you are are many. The amount of help you have on this planet is staggering, yet the majority of humanity will not allow awareness of it or let the possibility into their reality. ..."
