Past Lives

Was I a Holocaust Victim?

When I was about five years old, my family lived in a very small house which unfortunately had more than a few bugs crawling around in it. Sometimes my parents would spray the house with insecticide, but when they did I would become extremely frightened. I would run around screaming that they were trying to kill me. Eventually, they would wait until after I had gone to bed and then would spray at night.

I believe that this fear was caused by the recall of a concentration camp in which I was gassed to death in a past life.

Later, in high school, I had a fascination with anything that had to do with Germany. I would even buy German language courses since German was not offered at my high school. Then, when I was in my 30’s, I had a vivid dream which helped explain many things – my fear of being gassed to death, my fear of insecticides, and my fascination with Germany.

In this dream, I am a young man about 34 years old and I reside in an old apartment building somewhere in Germany. The apartment has several flights of wooden stairs and I live at the top in a small apartment with bare floors. There is no elevator. I have a little daughter who is about seven years old.

In the dream there is only one scene. My daughter and I are wearing coats and she has a very large black tam on her head which is tilted to one side. I see her white socks folded down and her brown tie shoes. There are soldiers on the way up the stairs and I know they are going to take us away. I pick her up and hold her in my arms and I am feeling a very intense love and caring emotion from the very depths of my being that I cannot describe. In fact, I have only felt that powerful emotion in that one dream.

I am not gassed in the dream but somehow I know that that was the outcome of our having been taken by the soldiers. At the end of the dream a voice came to me and said, “Just to let you know that this is true, remember the word, ‘Hadassah’.” The word Hadassah was spelled out in my dream so that I would not forget it.

Interestingly, my current boyfriend happens to be of Swiss-German descent, speaks German, and says that he is certain that we have been together in a past life. In fact, we are both certain of that. I now realize that something could happen to me in one life and continue to affect me in another.

My Other Daddy

My mom tells me that when I was a kid, only about three years old, she bought a book to read to me to put me to sleep. When she got past the second page, I said, “Oh, I know this book.”

She asked, “How do you know this book?” She couldn’t understand how it was possible since she had never read it to me before, and neither had anyone else outside our home.

I told her that “my other daddy” read it to me.

Did I “Kill” My Grandson

My husband and I had the three grandchildren (two boys and a girl) over for summer vacation last year (2006).

One day, as the other two children played outside, Mikey, the third grandchild and middle grandson (4 years old) came into the kitchen where I was preparing their lunch. He sat at the table and stared at me. I said, “Honey, I’m not finished preparing lunch yet. Why aren’t you outside playing with your brother and sister?”

After a pause, he said, “Nanny, you have to tell me you’re sorry.” I said, “Sorry? Sorry for what, honey?” That’s when he said, “You killed me Nanny! You killed me when I was big!”

I tried to hide my shock so as not to frighten him. I asked, “I did? Why, honey? Why did I kill you?” He answered, “Don’t you remember? I owed you money!” I told him, “Oh dear! I’m sorry, honey. How did I kill you?” Mikey then said, “You killed me with a knife!”

I asked him, “What did you look like?” He said, “Well, I was big and I looked like I look now.” I then asked, “What did I look like?” He closed his eyes, as if he was trying to recall a long lost memory and said, “Well, you were big too, but you were a man; that’s right, you were a big man!”

I apologized profusely to him, and he seemed to be satisfied with my apology. He gave me a hug, thanked me for apologizing and went outside to play with his siblings as if nothing had happened!

Later that week, I spoke to a Buddhist acquaintance and told him what had transpired between my grandson and me. The Buddhist told me that it was good that I apologized to my Mikey, because he could have come back for revenge!

A Great Day For The British Police!

Controversial Met chief Ali Dizaei found GUILTY of perverting the course of justice

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

A top Scotland Yard officer’s career is in tatters this afternoon after he was convicted of threatening and falsely arresting a man in a petty row over money.

Commander Ali Dizaei, 47, was found guilty of perverting justice and misconduct in a public office after a trial at London’s Southwark Crown Court.

A jury found he attacked Iraqi Waad al-Baghdadi, 24, before arresting and attempting to frame him.

The corruption convictions will almost certainly spell the end of the Iranian officer’s controversial 24-year career.

Guilty: Ali Dizaei arrives at Southwark Crown Court with his wife Shy this morning

Dizaei, who has been suspended on full pay since September 2008, is now likely to be sacked from the Metropolitan Police for gross misconduct.

He emerged unscathed from a series of earlier inquiries, including a multimillion-pound undercover operation examining claims of corruption, fraud and dishonesty.

But the attempt to frame a young businessman who pestered him for payment over a website exposed him as a bully and a liar who abused his position.

The court heard how the two men met by chance in the Persian Yas restaurant, run by Dizaei’s friend Sohrab Eshragi, in west London, on July 18, 2008.

Mr al-Baghdadi approached Dizaei and asked for £600 he believed he was owed for building a personal website.

The officer confronted the younger man in a nearby sidestreet where a scuffle took place and Mr al-Baghdadi was roughly arrested and handcuffed.

Prosecutor Peter Wright QC said Dizaei told Mr al-Baghdadi he would ‘f*** up your life’ and had ‘10 witnesses’ who would back him up.

In one of two 999 calls Dizaei asked an operator for ‘urgent assistance’ before starting to arrest Mr al-Baghdadi.

When officers arrived, Dizaei handed them the metal mouthpiece of a shisha pipe, held on Mr al-Baghdadi’s key ring, and claimed he had been stabbed with it.

But a doctor at Hammersmith police station concluded that two red marks on the officer’s torso were probably self-inflicted and did not match the pipe.

Dizaei told colleagues he had been attacked, leaving Mr al-Baghdadi in custody for 24 hours and ultimately facing prosecution.

When Mr al-Baghdadi was told he would not face any charge, he complained about his treatment and Dizaei’s web of deceit slowly unravelled.

Mr Wright said the officer was guilty of a ‘wholesale abuse of power’ motivated by self-interest and pride.

He said Dizaei tried to get the case dropped when he realised inconsistencies in his account had been uncovered by detectives.

Giving evidence, Mr al-Baghdadi compared Dizaei to bloodthirsty movie gangster Tony Montana, a character played by Al Pacino in the 1983 film Scarface.

He said many people were scared of the Metropolitan Police officer because of his status in the Iranian community.

The jury also heard that Dizaei rarely paid for his meals and left his unmarked car on a double yellow line while at the restaurant.

In his defence, Dizaei said he feared he was being targeted by his own colleagues because of his role as president of the National Black Police Association.

The senior officer represented Tarique Ghaffur as he threatened to sue former commissioner Sir Ian Blair for discrimination and bullying.

Dizaei said he suspected he was being followed, that his phone was tapped and that he might be attacked.

But the jury rejected his claim that the way complaints against him were handled could lead to a ‘miscarriage of justice’ and convicted him of both counts.

A long career mired in controversy

Ali Dizaei

Convicted: Commander Ali Dizaei

September 2000: First reports emerge that Dizaei’s BMW car has been vandalised. The attack is linked to a racist hate campaign against ethnic minority officers.

January 2001: Dizaei is suspended over ‘a number of disciplinary and criminal issues’ including dishonesty, attempting to pervert the course of justice, personal conduct and integrity.

April 2001: Dizaei announces he will take the Met to an employment tribunal alleging discrimination over his promotion prospects.

December 2001: Dizaei is charged with perverting the course of justice, misconduct in a public office and eight counts of false accounting. He is also accused of submitting eight overstated travel expenses claims in 1999 for a total sum of nearly £2,400.

April 2003: Dizaei goes on trial at the Old Bailey. He is acquitted.

September 2003: A second criminal trial of Dizaei, relating to mileage expenses claims, is dropped at the last moment when prosecutors offer no evidence.

November 2003: A police misconduct report finds nine matters against Dizaei could be proved. But a secret deal is brokered between the senior officer and the force which means he will not face punishment. This is strongly criticised by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC). He later receives around £60,000 in compensation.

May 2004: Dizaei is given a temporary promotion to chief superintendent.

June 2006: Dizaei speaks out after a botched terror raid on the home of two Asian brothers in Forest Gate, east London. He calls for more rigorous analysis of intelligence.

August 2006: Dizaei claims the profiling of air passengers could create an offence of ‘travelling whilst Asian’. The Police Federation accuse him of inflaming moderate Muslim opinion and sensationalism.

December 2006: It emerges the Met tapped Dizaei’s phone calls on the force’s internal phone network during Helios as the interception is ruled unlawful by the Investigatory Powers Tribunal.

June 2007: The Metropolitan Police Authority orders an inquiry over claims Dizaei failed to repay money he spent on a police American Express card and not keeping receipts.

It is alleged he spent more than £5,000 on clothes and perfume while on a trip to the United States.

July 18 2007: Dizaei goes to the Persian Yas restaurant in High Street Kensington, west London, with his wife after attending a Scotland Yard ceremony. He arrests Iraqi web designer Waad al-Baghdadi in the street.

September 12, 2007: Dizaei is suspended by the Metropolitan Police Authority’s professional standards sub-committee. It emerges he is the subject of three inquiries. They focus on the use of his company credit card, the Yas incident and claims he gave inappropriate advice to a defence solicitor representing a woman involved in a fatal hit and run.

September 19, 2007: Members of the Metropolitan Black Police Association (MetBPA) say they have no confidence in top officers. They say colleagues are ‘appalled’ at the suspension of Dizaei whom they believe is the victim of a ’sustained witch-hunt’.

December 17, 2007: Dizaei files a claim of racial discrimination against the Metropolitan Police and accuses former commissioner Sir Ian Blair and MPA chief executive Catherine Crawford of colluding to suspend him.

May 21, 2009: Dizaei attends Bishopsgate police station to be charged with misconduct in public office and perverting the course of justice over the clash at Yas restaurant. The allegations follow an investigation by the IPCC.

August 5, 2009: Dizaei pleads not guilty at Southwark Crown Court. Judge Geoffrey Rivlin QC sets a provisional trial date for November 30.

September 24, 2009: Substantial damages are paid to Dizaei over false claims he is a bigamist.

November 20, 2009: Dizaei is cleared of misusing his corporate credit card by an inquiry led by Dorset Chief Constable Martin Baker. It finds no evidence he acted dishonestly or without integrity.

December 28, 2009: A Sunday newspaper pays compensation to Dizaei over false claims of security breaches involving an illegal immigrant.

January 11, 2010: The trial opens at Southwark Crown Court.

February 8, 2010: Dizaei is found guilty of misconduct in a public office and perverting the course of justice.
