Is Déjà vu Real?

Déjà vu is a memory phenomenon where one feels as though they have experienced the present situation before. It's an illusion of memory where, despite feeling like they remember it strongly, the time, place, and context of the “previous” experience are uncertain or impossible to recall. Many people experience déjà vu and interpret it as a sign of spiritual guidance and heightened awareness. This phenomenon is often seen as a message from the Universe, indicating that one is on the right path or has strong ties to the spiritual realm. Encountering déjà vu can act as a reminder to stay attuned to one's surroundings and live in the present moment. (Wikipedia-Déjà vu)

Another explanation for déjà vu is the past lives theory, which suggests that these experiences may be reminders of previous existences. Strong feelings of familiarity with new places or moments can stem from experiences in a different lifetime, and children's vivid descriptions of past lives can reinforce this theory.

The Science Behind Déjà Vu

From a scientific point of view, what causes déjà vu?

Déjà vu is a complex phenomenon that has intrigued scientists and researchers for many years. What causes déjà vu is still unclear, but several interesting theories have emerged to explain this phenomenon. One prominent theory suggests that déjà vu is caused by a misfire in the brain's memory systems, particularly within the temporal lobe. This misfire can lead the brain to retrieve a memory from the past and superimpose it on the present, creating that uncanny, eerie feeling of familiarity.

The Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Theory:

"Déjà vu is a well-documented symptom of focal seizures, specifically those originating in the temporal lobe".

Although déjà vu is generally seen as a harmless and common experience, research indicates that frequent occurrences, prolonged episodes, or the presence of additional neurological symptoms such as focal seizures, changes in consciousness, or unusual sensations may indicate a more serious underlying condition, such as Temporal Lobe Epilepsy.

Another fascinating theory posits that déjà vu is related to the brain's remarkable ability to recognize patterns. Our brains are constantly on the lookout for patterns and connections between different pieces of information. When the brain identifies a pattern or connection that it has encountered before, it can trigger the sensation of déjà vu.

Despite these intriguing theories, the exact cause of déjà vu remains a mystery. However, research shows that déjà vu is common, affecting up to 70% of people at some point in their lives. This widespread phenomenon continues to captivate both scientists and the general public, as we seek to understand the intricate workings of our minds.

Déjà Vu
Spiritual and Paranormal Interpretations

Throughout history, déjà vu has been interpreted in various ways, often imbued with spiritual and paranormal significance. In many spiritual traditions, experiencing déjà vu is seen as a sign of a connection to the spirit world or a past life. Some believe that déjà vu allows us to access memories or experiences from past lives, offering glimpses into our soul's journey across different lifetimes.

For others, déjà vu is a sign of spiritual awakening or enlightenment. It is thought to be a moment when the veil between the physical and spiritual realms lifts, allowing us to gain a deeper understanding of our existence. This perspective suggests that déjà vu is a reminder of our spiritual connection and the continuity of our soul's journey.

In some paranormal traditions, déjà vu is viewed as a sign of psychic ability or clairvoyance. It is believed that experiencing déjà vu allows us to tap into the collective unconscious, a shared reservoir of archetypes and memories common to all humans. This connection to the collective unconscious can provide insights and guidance, helping us navigate our spiritual journey.

Regardless of the interpretation, déjà vu remains a fascinating and mysterious phenomenon that continues to capture the imagination of people around the world. Déjà vu serves as a reminder of the profound and often inexplicable nature of our existence.

Types of Déjà Vu Experiences

There are several different types of déjà vu experiences that people report, each offering unique insights into the workings of the human brain and the nature of reality itself. Some of the most common types include:

• Déjà vu: This is the most common type of déjà vu experience, where a person feels like they have already experienced a situation or event before. The feeling of familiarity can be intense and often leaves a lasting impression.
• Jamais vu: This is the opposite of déjà vu, where a person feels like they have never experienced a situation or event before, even if they know they have. It can be a disorienting and unsettling experience, as familiar surroundings suddenly feel strange and unfamiliar.
• Déjà entendu: This type of déjà vu involves the sensation of having already heard a conversation or sound before. It can be particularly striking when the words or sounds seem to echo from a distant memory.
• Déjà vécu: This type of déjà vu is characterized by the feeling of having already lived through a situation or event before. It can be a powerful and immersive experience, as if one is reliving a moment from a past life.

Each of these types of déjà vu experiences offers a unique glimpse into the complexities of the human mind and the mysteries of our existence. They remind us of the intricate connections between our past, present, and future, and the profound nature of our spiritual journey.

Déjà Vu Experiences

In my lifetime, I have had several déjà vu experiences, and each instance has been a unique and fascinating journey. One of the most memorable experiences I had was during a trip to a new city for the first time. As I wandered through the unfamiliar streets, I was suddenly struck by a powerful sense of familiarity, as if I had walked those very paths before. The buildings, the people, even the sounds of the city felt eerily familiar.

At first, I dismissed it as my imagination playing tricks on me. But as the feeling persisted, I began to wonder if it was something more profound. I started to pay closer attention to my surroundings, and it seemed as though everything was unfolding exactly as I had imagined it would. It was as if I had already lived through this experience before, and my brain was simply replaying it for me.

As I continued to explore the city, the feeling of déjà vu only grew stronger. It was both exhilarating and unsettling, as if I was reliving a memory from a past life. This experience left me pondering the mysteries of the mind and the possibility of connections that transcend time and space.

Egypt- A Déjà Vu Experience

Below is one of my déjà vu episodes:

Whenever I think of Ancient Egypt, the words that come into my mind are mystery, beauty, abundance, and bliss. It is a world long gone but not forgotten.

From very early on, I felt a strong connection to Ancient Egypt. Although I was not aware of the whys, the feelings were profound.

As a young child, I remember visiting the Egyptian exhibition at the museum and enjoying it immensely. With each visit, I experienced flashbacks of a distant place and felt an inexplicable nostalgia. Even though the antiquities were from a place and time beyond my small world, they felt familiar to me.

At the time, I did not know I was having a déjà vu.

I recall one situation where I had a strong sense of déjà vu. It happened in my early childhood while watching one of my favorite movies, The Ten Commandments by Cecil B. DeMille. I remember watching the movie and reacting to a scene. It was the scene where Nefertari and Seti are playing a game. My initial reaction upon seeing the game was, "I know how to play that game." It was as if I had a flashback of some sort. The knowing sensation lasted a few seconds. Could this have been a déjà vu experience? I don't know, but it felt real to me

When I was in my twenties, I achieved one of my most incredible goals- to visit Egypt. My dream turned into a reality. I felt as if I were returning home. The experience was incredible.

As I walked through the Temple of Luxor, I could sense the immense energy from the past lingering in the air. I would close my eyes and vividly sense the commotion, laughter, noise, and aroma of the ancient Egyptians who lived in the area. Although my body was in the present, my mind and soul were elsewhere, in ancient Egypt. It was as if I had entered a spiritual vortex energy tunnel that transported me to another dimension. I felt a healing energy taking over my entire body. It was like no other experience I had known before. The same sensation occurred when I was inside the Pyramid. 

On my second visit to Egypt, I recall walking the streets of Cairo alone and wondering why I was so attached to this mystical land. However, my attachment was not with modern Egypt but with ancient Egypt. Although this was my second trip, I was still searching for answers. I wanted to understand the link between Egypt and myself and the flashbacks I was having. Then I heard a faraway voice say, "You are connected to the Egypt of the past, not of the present." Immediately, I felt a sense of inner peace spreading through my body.

That was it. Modern Egypt was not the answer. The answers to my questions were hidden in ancient Egypt- ruins, temples, and cities of long ago. That explained the déjà vu moments I had experienced. My soul was remembering a time from the past, and my physical body was having flashbacks of that time.

That was it. Modern Egypt was not the answer. The answers to my questions were hidden in ancient Egypt- ruins, temples, and cities of long ago. The modern streets of Cairo, Alexandria, Aswan, Luxor, etc., did not supply the full joy that I experienced when visiting places where ancient cities thrived.

Approximately four months after returning from my second trip to Egypt, a friend invited me to a spiritual gathering. He had been attending these gatherings for some time. Furthermore, he was convinced that the man, who conducted the sessions and was a channeler, was genuine.

For those readers who are not familiar with the word channeler, Wikipedia depicts a channeler as a person who "goes into a trance, or 'leaves their body' and then becomes possessed by a specific spirit, who then talks through them."

Even though I agreed to attend one of the sessions, I had no expectations.

When we arrived, an amiable middle-aged man greeted us. He directed us to come in and sit anywhere we wanted to. As I sat down and looked around the room, I noticed how beautifully his apartment was decorated. He had statues, paintings, and many other items that reflected a world of long ago.

By the commencement of the session, approximately twenty people were in attendance. They were sitting on the sofa, chairs, and floor.

Our host/channeler started the session with a brief prayer. Soon after the prayer, his mannerism and voice changed. He had channeled a spirit guide of one of the individuals from the group. He began to talk and give messages to the woman. She appeared extremely pleased with the messages.

For about an hour and a half, the process remained the same- each person receiving messages from spirits and carefully writing them down on a piece of paper.

Although I was not expecting anything, I could not stop feeling like the forgotten child who did not receive any Christmas gifts but had to sit and watch others enjoy their presents.

As the session reached its final stage, the channeler began speaking in a soft and gentle voice. Upon hearing the voice, my heart started beating faster, and my eyes got teary. For some strange reason, I wanted to cry.

Even though the spirit had not identified the person he was speaking to, I knew it was me. There was something quite familiar about the energy. My incarnate spirit knew who it was.

Suddenly, the spirit said, "Yes, you...you know who I am. You are connected to the Egypt of the past, not of the present." The exact words that were revealed to me in Cairo. I had forgotten the experience and told no one.

Although I was trying very hard to control myself, a few tears managed to escape.

He started telling me about my past life as an Egyptian priest in ancient Egypt and how I was murdered because of my knowledge. The method used to cause my demise was strangulation.

"Interesting statement," I said to myself. Ever since I can recall, I always felt a slight tightness around my throat area.

As the spirit continued to speak, I began to see the various connections between my past and present. Things were starting to make sense to me. There was no longer a veil in front of me, preventing me from seeing beyond. He was unraveling my obscure past life in front of me.

As the session ended, I felt like a renewed person. The contact with my spirit friend from ancient spiritual Egypt provided me with a new perspective on life.

A few years ago, I went back to Egypt. I enjoyed every moment. I no longer felt the urge to search for answers. My confusion and search ended. I was visiting a place that was once my home- a long gone place, but not forgotten.
