    From her Wikipedia page:

    MacLaine claimed that in a previous life in Atlantis she was the brother of a 35,000-year-old spirit named Ramtha, channeled by mystic teacher and author J. Z. Knight.[45][46]

    My ex-wife was convinced that she was a Victorian chambermaid in a past life. The jealous lady of the house pushed her out a window, and she died upon getting impaled on a fleur-de-lis finial. sigh

    Why are people who claim past life experiences always some celebrity, Victorian upper crust or adjacent, or royalty? They’re never a reincarnated plumber named Sal from Hoboken NJ. I blame the Bronte sisters.

      Maybe they just don’t talk about it.

        It has absolute potential for romantization. It’s in the vicinity of nobility. It’s not a plumber named Sal.

        Do you actually fail to see it?

          They were absolutely the same social class as plumbers. Service to nobility provided half the jobs in a village sometimes.
