I have had delusions about having been other people in a past life. Has anyone else experienced this?
Where do you think this comes from?

I often feel like I’m other people - I just say I’m identifying with them.

Same here. I never thought I was ‘everybody’ though. Sort of like reincarnation + other stuff though.
I had delusions about having been other people.
Some of these were religious delusions, but they were uncertain. I wondered if I had been religious figures, but I wasn’t certain. It was odd to wonder about this, at all, and, at times, it seemed really offensive to even have these thoughts.
I wondered if I had been Jesus, which apparently isn’t an unusual delusion to have; I decided that I didn’t want to have been Jesus, as I came to see him as a human sacrifice victim (mythology) or simply a Jewish rebel that had been crushed by the Roman Empire (history).
Then, I wondered if I had been Muhammad, which was odder, since I have never been a Muslim; the cats were equated with wives, but there were too many of them (four was the limit, but there were five), so I was to be punished. I felt that Saudi women were very angry at me, as I should not have taken more than one wife, setting a bad religious precedent. I felt as though people thought that I was a pervert, because of the marriage to Aisha, who I decided that I did not like; I felt she had put words in Muhammad’s mouth, after his death - I don’t like the hadith. I figured Khadijah was the favorite, but I have not read much on this topic. I figured that if I talked to an imam about this delusion, that they would be very offended, and did not do so.
I thought a member of the house of al-Saud had astral projected into my room; I felt compelled to talk about harems, thinking on Magnificent Century.
I wondered if I could be God, but I found this highly unlikely, as this seemed too irresponsible. However, I wanted Turkey to beat France (soccer), and they did. Then, I wanted Argentina to beat another country, and they did. I also favored Azerbaijan, partly because I liked their pomegranate juice, and they did win over Armenia.
I also wondered if Muhammad was a reincarnation of Jesus, as this made sense to me, and meant that Islam was more legitimate than Christianity. Then, I wondered if Hürrem Sultan was a reincarnation of Muhammad, inspiring Suleiman to correct certain things. But, I also wondered if Hitler was a reincarnation of Hürrem, and therefore Muhammad and Jesus. This was really narcissistic and weird, because the delusion about possibly having been Hitler lingered the longest.
(I wondered if Atatürk was a reincarnation of Suleiman. He died around the time of the Night of Broken Glass, so, I wondered if Hitler was being punished with his death.)
I also wondered, initially, if I had been Alexandra Feodorovna, the wife of Nicholas II, as well as Nicholas II.
After Hitler, the Tsar lingered the longest. In my body, the Tsar tried to apologize to Hitler, but Hitler remained silent.
I think Hitler was framed. I developed this sense, in psychosis. Himmler was behind the Shoah, and behind Himmler was Stalin, and possibly others.

When you thought you were Hitler, what was that like for you?
It lasted the two years I had stopped my meds. I thought I was going to bring down heaven on earth etc
I thought I was going to conquer the world starting with Germany so I went living in Germany studying while psychotic, I was only able to learn a bit of german during that week in school but I lived in Germany for 4-6 months.

So, you had the sense of the end of the world coming, too?
I thought that there were no stars in the sky, which signaled something very bad.
I saw a red Volkswagen at work, and I thought this signaled the beginning of WW3.
I decided that I didn’t want the world to end, and the stars returned to the sky. I would not be the Beast.

Hitler wasn’t an Internationalist, you know. He didn’t want to conquer the world.

Someone chose this song for me on Pandora, and it seemed very significant.

They chose this song for me, before the pandemic.
I wondered if I had something like empathic psychosis, sometimes.
I have delusions I posted on facebook that I was in the Illuminati (past life) around 2011/2012 while smoking strong pot in college, and then I experienced some sort of ‘singularity’ ET contact or something and became schizophrenic for eternity. Now, after watching conspiracy theories, it feels real like the whole "vampire’ thing, which I have memories of being told I was one. It’s like being an immortal time traveler from a past life, but that isn’t me. And I don’t want to be one. It’s the psychosis and thoughts of past memories.
I’m an alien abductee I think…
I keep going back in time and it almost feels like the universe or just Earth resets like a video game, but it’s not one.
Donald Marshall talks about this…
I keep ‘resurrecting’ or looping back in time back to 2011 or something maybe 2012 or even 2013 at the latest – for eternity – billions of times or more. Like eternal recurrence. Big Bounce Theory or some ■■■■.
So I have delusions I was John Titor in a past life, Satoshi Nakamoto (inventor of bitcoin) in a past life, and even a paranoid schizophrenic (in a past life) for eternity – in every life. I get strange dreams where I’m getting ‘downloads’ or being told stuff and watching the ‘screen’ or tv and getting information…
I get terrible headaches and drink too much caffeine.
I felt like I had my mind uploaded to a computer/and now experience immortality and consciousness/soul transfer but I’m in the same body, going back in time for eternity.
I guess that probably doesn’t make any sense…

So, you keep on returning to that time period, because that is when your schizophrenia started? You want to change it?

I think the universe began around 2011 like the Mayan Propechies, but my memory is delusional, psychotic, and stuff, but I feel it really happened and cannot change the past like a wall and now we live in a computer simulation.
I have a lot of theories, like I was a philosophical zombie (a NPC or no sentience/consciousness), and then I’m in a time loop. Whatever is more likely, is probably it.

There was a focus on 9/11, which was very intense for a while. I was forced to reflect upon Mohamed Atta, the bin Ladens, Bandar bin Sultan (a bit) [I don’t think he was involved, but he seemed significant, suddenly, and I wondered if he was in Texas, at the time].
I was suspicious of Germany, for a while, but then, Germany was angry with me, and my attention shifted, again.
For a while, I wondered about time-travel. I thought on the Fringe. Maybe, there was a way to go back.
