Written by Under a QHHT hypnosis session, another interesting past life showed up. I went to Ephesus and witnessed Asiatic Vespers.Â
In that lifetime, I was a man, in early 30s, maybe 32. Medium height, athletic, average looking (in my todayâs taste) with short wavy dark hair. In ancient times, either Roman Empire or Ancient Greece. Iâm also not sure if I was Roman or Greek. I was in a big city for business. They were advanced in culture and were wealthy as a big business hub. I was coming from a small city on the south to that big city for trading.
In those days, negotiation was based on âwin-winâ for both parties. I was trustworthy. At negotiations, I was putting myself to the other personâs shoes, wanted to make sure the result was fair for the both sides. If they missed something that was beneficial for them, I was pointing out to them. My voice tone was powerful. I had knowledge, experience, and confidence.
There were some other people in my small town who had goods to trade. They were nice, honest, simple men. They were intimated to go to a big city to trade. It was also pretty far. It was taking time to go there, and it was an expensive trip. So, I was negotiating behalf of them, too. There were few not so pleasant businessmen in the big city. I was not trading with them.
The business was so solid and trust was so strong, one of the wealthy businessmen that I was trading had opened his home to me. He had a big mansion in a big land outside of the city. Courtyard was beautifully decorated and surrounded with a low fence made from stone, I guess. I was staying there. His maids were serving me and providing food, too.
Attack to Ephesus - Asiatic Vespers
On one of my trips, we were negotiating. I gave them the options. They would think and we would get together in the next day. It was late afternoon; it was about to get dark. I went to his home.
Suddenly and quickly, the city was attacked by the sea. They were crowded and fast. City was burning in the dark, people were screaming. They were not just killing men. Women and kids were also being killed by them. They didnât want to take over the city. They wanted to weaken it. It was a powerful city and was a threat to them.
I was far from the sea and outside of the city. I was talking to some people. Asking them to go to any neighbor city to bring help. They were saying no help would come, we gotta leave before they reach here. I insisted that there must have been some army somewhere to help. I was asking how about this one and that one. They were in panic and hurry. Eventually, we had to leave. No help came.
A favor from good people
I was in my town. A group of men came to my home. It was a basic home, from stone, I guess. Not crowded with much furniture. It was daytime, sunlight was coming from outside. They were trying to help me. They were sad about me. Because my whole life was about my job. No wife, no kids. They wanted to introduce me to a young girl. I was not so much interested in. There were a lot of things to do. Having a family was not on my mind. But I wanted to be nice to them and accepted to meet.
Assassination in the public
I think I was in another big city. It had a very large, empty area. Ground looked like made from light beige stones. There were some buildings around with tall columns.
A big arrow came and hit me somewhere between my hip and left leg. I felt a sudden sharp pain. My body couldnât move, fell to my knees. It made me confused. Thinking that it didn’t hit my heart, but feeling I was dying. I wanted to get up, but I was like frozen, couldnât move my body. That arrow had poison. I fell to my side and died. My soul was going up. I saw my body on the ground, curled and laying down on my side. People were rushing me. An enormous crowd made a big circle around me. I was still moving up, eventually vision disappeared.
The new people wanted to change the way the business was done. Instead of âI win â you winâ, they wanted âI win â you loseâ. They already brought some business people on their side. I had an influence on people. I was a treat to them. That was the reason they killed me.
My love to the Roman Empire and Ancient Greece
Since I learned Roman Empire and Ancient Greece were existed, I was deeply in love with them. I loved their architecture, clothing, Greek mythology, Greek and Latin alphabet, famous Greek people who were philosopher, scientists, sculptures, movies, documentaries about them. When I visited the Roman Empire or Ancient Greek ruins, I always felt as if I disconnected from todayâs world and just back to their time with a big happiness. As if those ruins would be alive and I would be just there in their time. Love with that level of happiness makes me forget difficulties in todayâs life and make it so worthy to be alive, anyway.
Searching for some historical information to match
When QHHT practitioner wanted me to go somewhere beautiful. I thought about all the beautiful places I had been. I could say Hawaii or The Netherlands. But I said Ephesus and vision myself walking in its ruins happily on a sunny summer day. I had been there for 2 times. Iâm sure mainland Greece even has more beautiful ruins. Then, when I saw visions under hypnosis, I couldnât believe. Was it really Ephesus? Living there in ancient times was beyond my dreams. Although I learned later on, I was not living there, but going there for business. Having a connection there was a wonderful feeling.
After hypnosis, I wanted to make some research on the internet if I could find some historical info. But I was overwhelmed. I was still hesitating if it was Ephesus. So many wars. I didnât know the year.
Recently, almost one year later, I was reading a new book about past lives. It excited me again and wanted to give another try to find some info about it. This time I said to myself, I will start from the first war in Ephesus and go from there.
I found this info at Wikipedia :Â
 Asiatic Vesper in 88BC. Some sources say 80,000, some others say 150,000 people killed. Itâs considered one of the biggest massacres in the ancient times. It was genocide against Roman and other Latin-speaking people. Mithridates VI Eupator, ruler of the Kingdom of Pontus, lead that attack. It was well planned and on the same day in several major towns and cities with large Roman populations scattered across Anatolia: Ephesus, Pergamon, Adramyttion, Caunus, Tralles, Nysa, and the island of Chios.
Ephesus was a Greek city under the Roman Empire. That explained why I couldnât determine Ancient Greece or the Roman Empire. I made some research. But I couldnât find one single word saying the attack came from the sea. I looked at the map showing Asia Minor and surrounding region at the start of the First Mithridatic War, in 89 BC.
If Pontus attacked from the land, they had to attack a lot of towns to reach to Ephesus. Also, some cities attacked were on the shore and Chios was an island. So, it seems like Asiatic Vesper came from the sea. It also explains why no help came from neighboring towns. Because they were also attacked on the same day.
This article is mentioning Mithridatesâ interest in the poisons and also renewed some trade agreement with some nations. So, this may relate to poisoning arrow and new trading rules, new people wanted to bring.
What are the effects on my current lifetime?
It is very interesting that in the whole NYC; I used to work in the Greek town and live in midtown East Manhattan. So, my condo was actually on the South of the Greek town. Just like in this past life, my small town was on the South of Ephesus. I was not in sales business. I was a programmer, but the company I was working on was in the sales business.
I guess it is really true. If we love a place, a time period, clothing, culture, anything related to that place, most likely we lived a happy life there. Maybe without a hypnosis or any trigger, not remembering that lifetime. But having a such deep level love to somewhere brings emotions to another level. Unexplained deep love with no reason on the surface. Although it is different, the big emotional impact is like being in love with the love of my life guy. Without past lives, I couldnât have a chance to experience such feelings.
When I was a kid, I always had leather Roman style sandals and love them wearing. Actually, I still have one pair. By chance, I met someone. He and his team made sandals for the movie Troy of Brad Pitt. I got a pair of leather sandals like in the movie from him. I treasure it.
I guess it also explains why I was on sales for a few times in this lifetime. It was actually strange. It didnât make sense why I even thought about it. Since Iâm an engineer, computer programmer and system analyst. Iâm a very technical person. Sales is not my thing.
Iâm thinking maybe in this lifetime, the confidence in my voice tone when Iâm talking about something that I know well comes from those days. My voice tone changes.
If I have a chance to go to Ephesus again, this time I want to spend more time there and Iâll try doing from theta wave meditation to self-hypnosis, different things, just to feel more, just to be in those beautiful days again.
