It’s Life Jim, But Not As We Know It

I have over 800 articles on this site and every single one of them is powerful evidence to back up the assertion that life is not how most people know it.

They cling rather quaintly but equally desperately to the notion of materialistic cause and effect, because without it the idea that everything is utter chaos and meaningless would render them unable to get up in the morning.

But the true quantum nature of reality is not chaos. Far from it, there is total and complete order, but you have to be able to understand what kind it is.

If you can come to some understanding of vertical symbolism, you can gain true insight into and understanding of life. And the best and simplest way to gain that is through astrology.

Astrology enables us to grasp the quality of a moment and understand its impact on the life of the person born in that moment.

Take the life of James Leininger.

With the Sun and Mars conjunction in Aries he is likely to have been a fighter. Even the most basic astrology books would place him in the military.

The conjunction of these two with Saturn would suggest he was a unlucky one with some very unfortunate thing happening to him.

The fact that this Mars falls exactly on the 8th cusp would lead you to believe he died in a battle.

And you would be exactly right.

The one thing we know about James Leininger was that he died when his plane was shot down by the Japanese in World War Two, on March 3rd 1945.

Fifty three years before he was born.

“James Leininger is the son of Bruce and Andrea Leininger, a Protestant couple in Louisiana in the United States. Beginning at the age of two, he made statements and demonstrated behaviours that suggested he remembered the life of an American pilot killed during World War II.

The first incident was in the year 2000, when he was 22 months old. His father took him to the Cavanaugh Flight Museum outside of Dallas, as they were living in Texas at the time. James was fascinated by the planes and in particular by the World War II exhibit.

Within two months of the first trip, James developed a habit of saying “airplane crash on fire,” and slamming his toy planes nose first into the family’s coffee table. He repeated this behavior over and over, producing dozens of scratches and dents on the table. James’s father traveled a lot, and when James and his mother would see him off at the airport, James would often say, “Daddy, airplane crash on fire.” This happened repeatedly, despite his father’s admonishments.

Around this time, James began having nightmares. His behavior during them seems to have involved only screams at first, but then included words as well: “Airplane crash on fire! Little man can’t get out.”

After a few months of this, he had several conversations with his parents about the dreams, usually as he was preparing to go to sleep. He indicated that they were memories of events from the past. He said his plane had crashed on fire and that it had been shot by the Japanese. Two weeks after those statements, James said his plane was a Corsair, which was a fighter plane that was developed during World War II, and he talked about flying a Corsair several times.

On August 27, 2000, when James was 28 months old, he told his parents he had flown his plane off a boat. When his parents asked him the name of the boat, he said, “Natoma.” After that conversation, his father searched online for the word and eventually discovered a description of the USS Natoma Bay, an escort carrier stationed in the Pacific during World War II.

James’s parents asked him a number of times for the name of the little man in his dreams. He always responded with only “me” or “James.” A few weeks after James gave the word Natoma, his parents asked him if he could remember anyone else who was with the little man. James responded with the name Jack Larsen.

One day when James was just over two and a half, his father was looking through a book he was planning to give his own father for Christmas, one called The Battle for Iwo Jima 1945. His father reports that James pointed to a picture showing an aerial view of the base of the island, where Mt. Suribachi, a dormant volcano, sits, and said, “That’s where my plane was shot down.” His father said, “What?” and James responded, “My airplane got shot down there, Daddy.”

A week after that, James’s father talked to a veteran from Natoma Bay who remembered a pilot named Jack Larsen. He said Larsen flew off one day and never returned, so no one knew what happened to him

Two months later, James’s father wrote a letter to the veteran who had told him that a Jack Larsen had served on Natoma Bay.

He learned that the Jack Larsen from Natoma Bay had survived the war. Though he was not at the reunion, he was still alive and James’s father soon visited him. He also learned that only one pilot from the ship was lost during the Battle of Iwo Jima, a 21-year old from Pennsylvania named James M. Huston, Jr.”

Is it possible to explain how a two year old could have such accurate information about events that happened half a century before he was born?

Is James Leininger a reincarnation of James Huston?

Of course he is.

Airman Huston also had a Sun/Saturn conjunction with the grim reaper exactly opposite Leininger’s own.

Huston’s Sun is exactly opposite Leininger’s 8th house Mars.

Their Moons are also opposite each other.

The Aries/Libra Moon/ Mercury opposition is there too.

They both have Venus in Water signs aspected with Pluto.

Huston has a T square with the Moon/ Mercury opposition and an apex Pluto.

He died with transit Saturn at 4 Cancer and Neptune at 5 Libra forming a Grand Cross with it.

Looking at James Leininger’s chart, it’s spot on that these memories came to him at the age of 2 because that is when his progressed Sun would have been exactly conjunct his Saturn.

So what about this new technique of secondary regressions? Does that link the experience of the two Jims?

Of course it does.

My principle method of secondary regressions to uncover important themes or events in our last life is to take the Sun backwards until it made its first aspect with the planet that has the strongest theme in the natal chart.

Its obvious that the key planet in Leininger’s chart is Mars in Aries in the 8th house.

If we take his chart back to the date Huston died, his regressed Sun is at 28 Aquarius exactly sextile that Mars and his Moon is at 28 Libra exactly opposite it.

Going backwards from his birthdate, this is the first time Leininger’s regressed Sun would have made any aspect to his Mars.

What can we say about all this? Given that we are boldly going where no-one has gone before, we should probably consult the experts.

Bones would say “Damn it Jim”.

Spock would claim it’s highly illogical.

Kirk would say ” Sometimes a feeling is all we humans have to go on”.

Life is indeed stranger than Star Trek, but it seems that we now have an astrological map to help us look back into our previous lives.
