Masquerade Party. Top Story - July 2024.
At six feet seven inches tall and approximately two hundred fifty pounds, Samael presented an imposing figure when he walked into a room. His physical stature may be impressive, but his demeanor is the opposite. The shy, some might say, reclusive personality that he developed as a young boy followed him into manhood. His favorite job was crunching numbers in a quiet one man back office of a fiduciary firm.

The World Beyond and Past Lives
The concept of reincarnation, dating back some 3,000 years or more, is a fascinating belief that suggests our spirits or souls continue to live on. Having had personal experiences with spirits and being attuned to the world beyond, I am inclined to believe in this idea. It is also believed that in each life, we may encounter people who were once familiar to us in a previous life. I have a theory that meeting our soul mates could be a result of this phenomenon, where we reunite with someone we loved in a past life. This concept is truly intriguing. How can we determine or recognize the signs that may provide insight into this?
