Past Lives or Countdown Montreal

So I received all of my order from Amazon.ca today. I ordered a bunch of used books on a wide variety of subjects. They include metaphysics, past lives, and wrestler autobiographies. The books were: "Listen You Pencil Neck Geeks: The Story of Classy Freddie Blassie", "Many Lives, Many Masters", "The Prophets Way", "You Have been Here Before" and "Conversations with God: An Uncommon Dialogue." I'e already read the Classy Freddie Blassie autobiography and was very impressed. I don't really know all that much about wrestling pre-1980's/1970's so to learn more about what it was like in the 1940's to 70's was really cool and interesting. I had no idea how much of a celebrity Blassie was either. He was single handedly responsible for making the career of Regis Philben in the 50's and 60's, he was also a God in Japan... then again so many foreign wrestlers are God's in Japan... like Vader... or Dr. Death... if those names don't mean anything to you, don't fret, they don't mean much to a whole shit load of people anyway... Anyway, to further explain how Blassie made Philben... when Regis started out in TV on cable access and small local stations, Blassie was an early guest. His segments were so popular and out of control that they made the shows hits. Regis eventually graduated to larger stations and took Blassie with him all the way to the top... well sort of... Either way, without Blassie, Regis would just be some schmoe on the street. I guess the world has Freddie to thank for the joy that is "Who Wants to be a Millionaire."
Right now I am devouring an other book called "You have been here before" about past life regression. I am not altogether sure where I stand on the subject so I figured doing some research/reading couldn't hurt. Thus far it has been interesting if a little cliched. The stories all deal with being murdered or finding a corpse or something of the like. It SEEMS like they helped the people deal with latent issues and/or problems buried deep in their subconscious. I'll have to read more to really form and opinion. While I am on the subject, I might as well mention something that I think may (if true) be a past life thingy from my life. Whenever I go over train tracks I shudder for an unknown and uncontrollable reason. I think that (if true) I might have been nailed by a train in a past life... then again maybe I just have a vivid imagination of being nailed by a train... Either way, I would be interested in finding out if some of my anxieties and issues stem from some sort of buried trauma... Then again, maybe I was just born all messed up and shit... not that I am messed up, for the most part I am fairly well adjusted but there are times...
Two more days until Montreal! Night life here I come!
