Maximilian Emanuel Fst Van Horne was a South Dutch past life identity from the Netherlands. Born on the 31st of August 1695.
We held the title of Third Prince Of Horne, Grand Huntsman Of Brabant, Lord Chamberlain Of Brussels, and Knight Of The Order Of The Golden Fleece.
During this lifetime, we oversaw our principality that would later become parts of Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands,
French villages Auchy-au-Bois, Lestrem, Bailleullèslès-Pernes, Saint-Michel-sur-Ternoise,
Horne Castle, and Gaasbeek Castle were part of the Horne estate.
We had two daughters and fourteen grandchildren with a direct line of descendants belonging to the house of Hohenzollern in Germany.
The direct line of descendants to our next past life identity and their relation to us and the house of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen is as follows:
Grandfather of Amalie Zephyrine > great-grandfather to Prince Karl > great-great-grandfather to Prince Karl Anton > great-great-great-grandfather to Princess Marie.
(granddaughter, great-grandson, great-great-grandson, great-great-great-granddaughter.)
Princess Marie would become the mother of Albert. Our great-great-great-great-grandson and next past life identity.
Sigmaringen Castle and Hohenzollern Castle.
The line of male Horne princes ended with us in the year 1763.
The agnatic line of the House of Horne went extinct in the year 1826.
This identity perished on the 12th of January 1763.
This past life personality was the catalyst that caused my spiritual awakening.
This unconscious personality was attracted to images of the Netherlands.
Despite being born in modern-day Brussels, the area was formerly just known as the Netherlands. Which explains our affinity for the land.
Our spiritual lineage from 1763-1874 is blank, and information regarding this past life is extremely limited.
There is also the possibility that we traveled and spent over a century in spiritual form on the earth before reincarnating in 1875.
Albert Leopold Clemens Maria Meinrad was a German past life identity from Belgium. born on the 8th of April 1875.
We held the title of a German Prince, Knight Of The Order Of The Golden Fleece, and King Of The Belgians from 1909 to 1934.
During this lifetime, we experienced the sorrowful loss of our older brother at the age of 21. Regretfully, we were next in line for the throne.
The weight of the kingdom was brought down upon us, and we were forced to answer the summons of the heavens to better serve our people.
We studied and worked hard at the early age of 16 so that we could better understand what ailed the people and how we could improve their lives.
I wholeheartedly believe that a king is to serve and protect his people.
On the 2nd of October 1900, we married Elisabeth Valerie Gabrielle Marie von Wittelsbach.
We had two sons, one daughter, and eleven grandchildren.
Perished on the 17th of February 1934.
This past life's personality caused my spiritual awakening by guiding me with clues since childhood.
Starting with the desk with the decorated military photo from when I was very young.
The June Dream from 2021 was when I discovered who it was in that photo,
In April of 2022, that desk appeared again in a dream with a coin dated "1763"
Which led me to the discovery of my past life as Maximilian.
Synchronicities • Locations: [Bravo]
Albert had made trips to various countries and cities in the year 1919.
Most notably being Boston, Washington, D.C, and New York City.
On the West Coast, we visited California and the Native American people of New Mexico.
I would also like to mention that James is originally from New York.
Albert had visited New York on two occasions.
Albert is connected to France, and James had moved there later on in life.
What if our previous identity was influenced by the unconscious to go to France?
Since that is where our previous identities would've felt the most comfortable, given our history with the region?
Past lives can linger in an area for centuries, as with Maximilian and Albert.
But sometimes, the Self might prefer to explore and try new experiences.
The difficult part is figuring out if a previous personality had an interest in an area or at least had visited it.
I would like to study this more and see what factors play into reincarnating in different areas or foreign lands.
I do believe that we reincarnate into certain areas or move to other places to evoke the unconscious.
And awaken memories that were once lost within the depths of the psyche.
Maybe living next to the ocean or a river can remind one of their life near a river or ocean.
Perhaps living in a crime-riddled region and being surrounded by death can awaken dormant past-life memories of war.
While I was working on this, I discovered via an article that we also went to Pittsburgh during this year.
But I cannot access it due to it being paywalled. The title reads:King Albert is due in America Friday; Belgian Rule and Queen Elizabeth Go to Washington First, Returning Oct. 7.
A whirlwind tour follows. Visitors Will See Thirty Cities in Twenty-three Days, According to Itinerary Arranged.This makes two separate occasions that I can link myself to the Pittsburgh area before my birth on the 10th of January 1994.
It was not until the 18th of April 2023 that I learned about our earlier trip in the Spring of 1898.
When we visited Washington, Boston, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Salt Lake City, Denver, Chicago, Toronto, Ottawa, Quebec, New York, and Pittsburgh.
New York and Pittsburgh are the most important locations for this journal entry.
On January 21st, 2024, we came across this article.
This blog contains the information that we've spent the last 1-2 years searching for. An exact location and the path that we traveled.
Being a native of the area, I would drive in Duquesne and past an empty plot of land when we would go to our local Kennywood park.
It wasn't until that day that I learned that there was once a steel mill on the bank of the Monongahela River in Duquesne.
We traveled to Duquesne on May 27th, 1898, as a prince under an incognito name. Comte de Rethy. Mode of transport unknown.
During this time, Kennywood was set to open on the 30th of May 1898. In just three days.
Undoubtedly, a representative of Pittsburgh would've mentioned the amusement park to us as we rode past the location.
Their detailing might've intrigued us so much that it could've been a deciding factor in us reincarnating in the area.
On Oct. 23rd, 1919, we would discreetly return to Duquesne, but this time as a representative of a small country.
Kennywood would have been open for about twenty-one years now. A thriving amusement park that might've interested us to see.
Of course, such locations weren't possible to see during this trip, but we would ultimately get to visit the park 90~ years later.
The location of Duquesne's steel mill on the bank of the Monongahela River is a mere two miles from our place of birth.
UPMC McKeesport Hospital. Just across the Monongahela River and within two miles of the place we had visited twice.
On February 20th, 2024, we realized that during the majority of our childhood, we had lived on Versailles Avenue.
The location was a bakery with an apartment above it, where we had our past life dreams, which started this all.
The bakery suffered an electrical fire in the downstairs bakery while we were at our grandparents' back in 2004.
On the 28th of June, 1919, the Treaty of Versailles was signed.
As King Of The Belgians, we had a direct role at Versailles with the treaty.
It isn't a mere coincidence that we spent our childhood on Versailles Avenue.
There was certainly some planning going on behind the scenes here.
Versailles means "ploughed field," while Duquesne means "of the oak."
Both are French words that our past self would've recognized.
Giving us some familiarity when we visited Pittsburgh in 1898 and 1919.
This might've given us an interest in visiting Duquesne on both trips.
On March 4th, 2024, we learned that UPMC McKeesport Hospital was built in 1894.
Meaning that we were born on the 100th anniversary of its founding.Synchronicities • Kennywood: [Charlie]
It was around this time that I made plans to visit my childhood amusement park, as I had not been there since Fright Night 2007-2008
2023 marks the 125th anniversary of the amusement park and my trip to the region in 1898.
Upon the opening weekend, I noticed the synchronicity behind that date as it was plastered on walls, banners, and even a coffee shop.
I was born in the Pittsburgh Metro Area (City of McKeesport), and there is a reason behind our decision to live here, but I digress.
At Kennywood, as a child, I learned of my fear of acrophobia during Noah's Ark.
When I arrived at the skeleton crew storage hull section of the ride
I was petrified and could not move, so I had to turn back.
This served as the earliest memory of my fear of falling and helped with my past life research.
Dr. Ian Stevenson's notes say that over 35% of violent deaths are inherited as phobias in children.
On the wall, as you leave, is a mural that says "All Roads Lead To Kennywood"
Kennywood isn't just my childhood amusement park. It's a spiritual place that is filled with synchronicities that are pointing us in the right direction.
I visited Pittsburgh in the year 1898 when Kenny's Grove became the trolley park known as Kennywood.
In 1934, I died from falling, and in 1994, I reincarnated in the Pittsburgh area and experienced my fear of falling at Kennywood's Noah's Ark as a child.
On the 125th anniversary, I went back to Kennywood for the first time in sixteen years.
The newest addition to the park for the anniversary? A coffee shop aptly called 1898 Coffee Co.
Directly across the river from Kennywood is the Edgar Thomson Steelworks, with the date "since 1875" written on the building.
1875 is the year of our birth as Albert of Belgium. This makes two important years that can be found in this small area.
The year we travelled to America and Pittsburgh for the first time, and the year of our past life's birth.
Synchronicities • Anthrocon: [Delta]
I had only gone to my local furry convention (Anthrocon) once due to social anxiety.
But this year was different due to the smog from the Canadian wildfires that filled the air during my visit.
I couldn't help but wonder if I was following in my past self's footsteps through 1898 Pittsburgh...
It's like destiny or something is reassuring me that I am on the right path.
During the last day of Anthrocon, I stumbled upon the perfect opportunity to do some research.
I had taken the moment to analyze a dance competition and was almost overwhelmed with emotions (again.)
It was like watching our ancient ancestors dancing and singing around a giant bonfire as they adorned their masks.
It was beautiful to watch the unconscious express itself in such a way, and it made me remember that we are all connected.
It intrigued me to see the parallels between these suiters and their ancestors.
They were not just dancing by themselves; they were also dancing with the dead.
This pseudo ritual was the expression of both the soul and the collective unconscious!
While I was watching, I held onto my 1934 Memento Mori coin.
Later on, I thought to myself and aired my grievances about James and the number "16"
Then I had dinner at The Standard and fiddled with the coin in my hand.
As the night came, I decided to hang out with a group of new friends at the Waterfront.
But I was distracted by thoughts, so I looked up at the sky and thought to myself.
Whenever I look up into the sky, I am also at the same time, looking into my soul.
Then I noticed somebody had a jacket on with the date "1987"
It did frighten me to see it pop up when I was so deep into my thoughts.
At first, I thought it was an omen since my June 2021 dream mentioned I had only two years left to live.
I would then jump into the river/ocean in that dream, and here I was near the Allegheny River when I saw that jacket.
Somewhere in the back of my mind, I was worried that it was a premonition dream and became terrified at that moment.
But I know now that there is no need for me to worry, given that the ocean/river is a symbol of the unconscious.
After leaving the convention, we got dinner and prepared to clean up in the basement.
While preparing, I heard Green Day's "I Hope You Had The Time Of Your Life" on 96.9 Bob FM.Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable
But in the end, it's right
I hope you had the time of your life.It felt like a "welcome home" message from the unconscious.
Once again assuring me that I was never alone and that I don't have to be scared.
The last day was certainly interesting...
Synchronicities • Anthrocon Deux: [Echo]
Admittedly, there were some difficulties regarding these synchronicities during our visit to Anthrocon and the convention center.
Upon arriving at the registration line at noon on the Fourth of July, we held onto our Austrian Netherlands memento coin from the year 1763.
As previously stated, the coin is a powerful talisman for synchronicities.
We carry and hold it for spiritual guidance and self-knowledge. To connect with the unconscious and the unus mundus. 'One world.'
The coin was held onto for two hours while in registration, and it was analyzed intensely during the full duration.
Once the badge was secured, the coin was deposited into our pocket with the rest of our spiritually significant items.
The first day went fairly well, but given that we practiced prudence, we chose not to talk and interrupt ongoing conversations.
We did have a wonderful conversation with another individual about various topics such as exercise, locality, and workouts.
At one point, they noted our usage of 'we' instead of 'I', and we delved a bit into what we do as an analytical depth researcher.
To explain, we showed our 1763 memento coin and tried to briefly explain the transmigration of souls by mentioning our previous lives.
As one would expect, talking about esoteric experiences and the numinous is quite difficult given that rationalism is so prevalent these days.
Jung stated as much with this quote that can be found on our main page:
"One has not really understood something until one has lived it. Just having a term for something means nothing.
It needs to touch the heart or affect one’s life. A word has to get under our skin. Sink in deep so that it becomes part of us, so that we live in it.
Only when this is the case. When it is about more than words, does one know what the heart says and what the spirit thinks."
During that conversation, there was a new insight gained that was not previously made regarding the numinous events in April 2022.
As we spoke about the coin, we did mention the loud inner voice that spoke about seeing the world during our cardio session
and the joke that we made about us not going anywhere unless they buried treasure.
It was at that moment, after two years, that we realized that the unconscious did indeed bury a treasure, but not the traditional kind.
As mentioned in the other journal, there was a dream that accompanied this encounter with the one known as 'Maximilian.'
The contents of that dream were the treasure. The treasure was in our hands, and we didn't even realize it!
The coin symbolically represents the spiritual knowledge that the unconscious has given us.
Due to our maturity, humility, and reverence towards the unconscious, a long-forgotten treasure was discovered.
We have a term in the field of depth psychology for significant dream material. We call them 'big dreams.'
Our childhood dream, spiritual awakening dream, and this dream would be classified as big dreams.
At the end of the day, while getting refreshed, we heard a personal song on the radio, 'These Dreams' by Heart.
Everything had come full circle. It was a magical experience to recognize that our treasure was our spiritual knowledge.
We also came to realize that the entire reason we went to Anthrocon was because of that dream.
The second day of the convention went well for the most part, but we did at one point retreat from a panel.
Solely due to our ability to speak and converse with others. Instead, we analyzed others and went on our way.
Lunch went well, and there were some good casual conversations to be had with a few individuals.
The majority of this and the following day were spent reading our book at the tables on the second floor of the Westin.
The title: Inner Work: Using Dreams and Active Imagination for Personal Growth by Robert A. Johnson.
Little did we know how important rereading this book would be.
On the third day, we felt an unusual sensation as we entered the city limits of Pittsburgh.
The feeling function was in overdrive, and the city had an ominous aura to it.
An aspect of the psyche somehow knew that things would go awry today.
We promptly attended a panel upon arrival that had introductions.
A short, simple introduction was planned:
"The name is Balendin, and we are an analytical depth psychologist
and transmigration of souls researcher from the Pittsburgh metro area."
Suffice it to say that the introduction did not go as intended.
The original analysis was that the stammering was caused due to the introvert becoming the object.
But then we realized that a part of the introduction was omitted. Transmigration of souls researcher.
An aspect of the psyche felt it wouldn't be understood, and so it invaded the consciousness side,
to prevent those particular words from being spoken to a room filled with strangers who wouldn't understand.
The experience was debilitating to both the conscious and the unconscious, as neither side could properly express itself.
During the parade, we spent our time in the Westin finishing our book.
By the time we were done, the block party was already in effect, so we did some analysis work on the corner.
We utilized our time analyzing people and our surroundings via the feeling function, as well as our thoughts and feelings.
The sensation was that we were observers, someone who analyzes but cannot participate with others.
This thought came to mind as we looked at the buildings. It was quickly grasped and analyzed:
"Primitive man in modern times."
This aspect of the psyche felt it was primitive and couldn't express itself among others.
The active imagination session with this unconscious inner man confirmed as much.
Due to feeling left out and sensing no deep, meaningful connections to others
We had decided to leave and go to the Heinz History Center until 5 pm.
It genuinely felt like the community wasn't our tribe, and the soul ached.
There was a tearful moment afterward when we showed humility and said we didn't deserve that treasure.
Our spiritual knowledge. This was symbolically represented by our 1763 Austrian Netherlands memento coin.
We did not attend the final day of the convention on the seventh due to the events of the following day.
No attention was paid to posts and messages regarding the number of attendees over the four days...
It was on the 10th of July, three days after it ended, that we looked at the attendance numbers...
Anthrocon final attendance numbers: 17,639!
This synchronicity was awe-inspiring, especially given that the estimate was 15,000-15,500.
To see our spiritual numbers appear like so after experiencing a dark night of the soul humbled us and made us feel appreciated by the unconscious.
The unconscious was kind enough to create a deeply meaningful synchronicity to help guide us back on the right path after going astray.
Synchronicities • Brothers: [Foxtrot]
During our past life as Albert, we suffered the loss of our only brother. Prince Baudouin.
On January 23, 1891, our brother Baudouin passed away from pneumonia at the age of 21.
At the age of 16, we were next in line for the throne with insurmountable pressure put upon us.
On the 5th of November 2023, we conducted more past life research into ourselves.
As Maximilian, we suffered the loss of our brother. Count Antoine Joseph Van Horne.
He was broken on the wheel for murder at the age of 21, while we were at the age of 24.
He was our only brother.
On August 9th, 2022, we ventured into the musical talents of The Highwaymen.
One song in particular felt personal for some unknown reason.
That song turned out to be Born And Raised In Black And White. Reading about the troubled past of our brother explains why the song felt personal.
Deep down, it gave expression to our soul and Maximilian.
Something else that should be noted is the content of dreams.
We cannot accurately give dates on the following dreams,
but they could've very well started at around the age of 16.
In two separate dreams from over a decade ago, we experienced the death of our only younger brother.
In one instance, he disappeared between two walls. In another, I tried to pull my brother up from a dark pit.
In 2023, we had a dream of our brother disappearing under the wheel of a train.
In our spiritual awakening dream and the accompanying one, we were accosted by a slender, suave man.
In hindsight, this could've very well been our brother Antoine.
As a result of these past events, a past life trauma has developed and lingered for three hundred years.
Deep down, the trauma persists to this day, but it has made us more caring and protective of our brother.
Our goal is to resolve this centuries-old trauma for Maximilian and Albert.
Synchronicities • Baudouin: [Golf]
We had a revelation on August 21st, 2024, and realized that Baudouin is French for Baldwin.
This is a rather interesting development, given that our previous personality was formerly known as James Baldwin.
This has proven intriguing for our research into the transmigration of the soul and the theory of the familiarity of the soul.
During our past life as Albert, we had a brother named Baudouin who passed away at the age of 21 while we were 16.
After this past life, we would travel to New York and form a bond with a ten-year-old child named James Baldwin.
We vehemently despise New York in the modern age, but the area is an important part of our research.
It was at the docks in New York that we first arrived in America in the year 1898.
It would happen that James would leave America to live in the countryside of France.
This shows we have a deep spiritual connection to Belgium, France, and the Netherlands.
Synchronicities • Kingdom Come Deliverance: [Hotel]
What caused my spiritual awakening, and the discovery of my past lives in the first place, you may ask?
Well, it started with an interest in a game called Kingdom Come: Deliverance which intrigued me due to its themes.
Somewhere in the deepest, intimate parts of my psyche, memories secretly unfolded as I played this game.
Spoilers
The main character you play is a commoner and the son of a blacksmith known as Henry.
But it is revealed later on in the game that he is the illegitimate bastard son of Sir Radzig Kobyla.
Which makes him a nobleman or at least the son of a nobleman.
Henry can also become the Master Huntsman of Talmberg once certain prerequisites are completed.
These two things mysteriously awakened something from within the depths of the psyche.
I became fascinated with the game and knights in general
So I decided to create a knight fursona due to this new fascination.
But now I suppose that my past selves were expressing themselves through me.
Because, as it turns out, like Henry, we too were a nobleman and Grand Huntsman of a region.
By creating this character, I unknowingly was expressing an ancient part of myself.
As Maximilian and Albert held the titles of knights for the Order Of The Golden Fleece.
I played the game on the 12th of March 2018.
Our spiritual awakening occurred on the 5th of June 2021.
My fursona debuted on the 6th of May 2022.
The discovery of Maximilian happened around the 18th to 21st of April 2022.
On February 4th, 2025, we played the sequel to Kingdom Come: Deliverance and discovered more information on our past life.
One of the characters we encountered on the 21st of February was the Lord Chamberlain of Prague.
If the Prague equivalent is the same as the Brussels, we would've been among the nine most powerful officials in the Austrian Netherlands.
Among our responsibilities and duties, we would've managed the royal towns and monasteries.
Along with appointing councillors, abbots, and royal judges.
Synchronicities • Knights Of The Golden Fleece: [India]
As mentioned in this journal. We were knights of this order in two previous lives.
This order is directly spiritually significant to us as there are multiple connections to it.
On April 7th, 2024, we came to realize that the order was founded on January 10th, 1430, the date of our birthday.
Unfortunately, we forgot to celebrate Albert's birthday the next day due to the solar eclipse.
In any case, we have a special connection to this order, and more work needs to be done in researching the reason why.
Synchronicities • Coober Pedy Black Opals: [Juliett]
Recently, I came upon the estate of an esteemed voodoo priestess and granddaughter to the voodoo queen of New Orleans, Ms. Marie Laveau.
I procured six of the sixteen black opals she had attained for personal use. We managed to extract synchronistic information shortly after acquiring them.
The first synchronicity that the black opals assisted in recalling was the revelations that we lived in a household for 15+ years with two individuals named "von"
The synchronicity in question is that our name was Maximilian Emanuel Fst Von (Van/De depending on region) Horne.
Another synchronicity occurred on the night of October 30th, where a distant lingering memory from 2008 was slowly making itself conscious thanks to the powers of the black opals.
It involved a game that we used to play that was called "Chocolatier 2: Secret Ingredient." A game about traveling the world, collecting recipes, and making and selling confectionery goods.
Something that went unnoticed was an unconscious affixation on the chocolate "pralines", aka Belgian chocolates. At the time, the cause of the affixation was unknown.
Another thing to note is that this game is set in 1925, and as time progresses, locations change and buildings are added to locations such as New York and San Francisco.
The previous game started in the 1880s, but it seems that the unconscious was intrigued by these games and that these games assisted in our spiritual awakening.
As noted in my past life document journal, the dream that caused our spiritual awakening occurred on the 5th of June, 2021.
Within that dream, a disembodied aspect of ourselves floated above us and whispered to us a perplexing clue to our past.
A single word, "chocolate," from high above in the sky overlooking myself and the city with no name. At the time, I had taken this as a test from the unconscious.
It was a mission given to me by my higher self and was meant to test my mettle and resolve as a seeker of knowledge and lost forgotten truths.
At the time, conscious and unconscious were not on speaking terms, so to speak, so we were oblivious to any of this information back in 2008.
Even so, the unconscious remembered the significance of pralines and the 1920s and gave us a perplexing and frightful puzzle to solve in the form of a dream in 2021.
After performing shadow work on 10/30/23 and opening up dialogue with the unconscious, it was like a dam had burst, and the psychic energy that was contained within it
Was free to flow forth, and in the ensuing chaos, the torrential waves almost drowned us. The experience itself was esoteric and quite wonderful if we are being honest.
Synchronicities • Horne Department Store: [Kilo]
Major past life synchronistic discovery.
A research trip was conducted on July 27th, 2024, at the Detre Library & Archives at the Heinz History Center.
The goal of this research trip was to find articles relating to our original 1898 trip and find the original infirmary location at Duquesne Steel Works.
The intention was to one day visit the exact spot where our picture was taken in 1919 and lay some flowers as a tribute to the workers of the Mon Valley.
We spent a good hour or two at the computer analyzing local articles from around 1898 to study and research the transmigration of souls.
Thanks to the assistance of the Detre staff, we managed to procure fifteen articles and other materials during our trip, which we will review later.
When researching the matter of the transmigration of souls, we focus on two important key points such as personalities and the soul's familiarity.
Familiarity is the most important aspect of our research. To understand the soul, you must analyze the past and present.
One must study their past and present selves to find connections and familiarity between them.
Geography, regions, locations, people, environment, etc., are examples of what must be studied intensely.
Here is an example of us studying our past and present selves:
A person who grew up in a royal family and became a king would not be an individual. They would be a collective man.
Secretly, they would wish to be freed from the gilded cage and become a private man. An individual.
"Look at the faces, it's just like a dream.
Nobody knows where you're going.
Nobody cares where you've been.
Now you're back again, and you're feeling strange.
- - -
So much has happened, but nothing has changed.
Still don't know where you're going.
You're still just a face in the crowd."
After conducting our research and exploring the exhibits, we would arrive on the first floor around 3:40 PM.
What we found was the most incredible synchronistic discovery to date. A plaque to a department store called Horne.
We had no intention of finding a past life synchronicity at the Heinz History Center, but here it was right before us.
Horne was a department store that opened on February 22, 1849, in Pittsburgh and operated in the region for 145 years.
The 15 businesses were later sold to a competitor, leading to the removal of the brand's name on August 29, 1994.
7 months 2 weeks after we were born in the region. Thus making this a major synchronistic past life discovery.
This shows that the soul is capable of travelling great distances to find a familiar and synchronistic area to reincarnate in.
Our current research doesn't appear to show our past life as Albert travelling past any of Horne's department stores in 1898 or 1919.
This indicates that the soul itself saw the department stores sometime before 1994 and felt enough familiarity to reincarnate here.
Horne is the last name of our past life, who spoke to us back in April 2022.
Maximilian Emanuel Van Horne, as stated above, is connected to Albert Meinrad.
4x great-grandfather. 4x great-grandson.
Quite honestly, we did happen upon a book with the title "Horne's" on the spine at the center after leaving Anthrocon on day 3.
But we dismissed it and didn't bother grabbing or checking out the book due to the pensive feelings dominating us at the time.
The beauty of it was finding that plaque 21 days later and realizing that it wasn't just a meaningless coincidence.
We acquired the book at 3:57:20PM on July 27th, 2024, to commemorate this major event. We realized some interesting symbolic images of our life on December 3rd, 2024.
The first thing that we realized was that our zodiac sign was that of Capricorn.
The second symbolic image related to this is our favorite video game character.
The gnorc roasting and warlock ramming purple dragon named Spyro.
The third and final symbolic image consists of an anthropomorphic character named Cornelius
One who has been a psychological wellspring of knowledge into the shadow and psyche.
The symbolic connection and meaning between these three images is related to horns.
Capricornus, Cornelius, and Horne all translate into the symbolic image of the horn.
All three were subtle messages being relayed from the unconscious.
Hints along the path prescribed by the unconscious.
Their aim was for us to awaken by recalling our past.
Discovery Of The Self: [Lima]
Major revelation.
On March 10th, 2025, we had a revelation after analyzing the words of Carl Jung on the importance of secrets. There is no better means of intensifying the treasured feeling of individuality than the possession of a secret which the individual is pledged to guard.
The very beginnings of societal structures reveal the craving for secret organizations.
When no valid secrets really exist, mysteries are invented or contrived to which privileged initiates are admitted.
Such was the case with the Rosicrucians and many other societies.
Among these pseudo-secrets, there are ironically real secrets of which the initiates are entirely unaware as,
For example, in those societies which borrowed their "secret" primarily from the alchemical tradition.
Nevertheless, it may be that for sufficient reasons a man feels he must set out on his own feet along the road to wider realms.
It may be that in all the garbs, shapes, forms, modes, and manners of life offered to him, he does not find what is peculiarly necessary for him.
He will go alone and be his own company. He will serve as his own group, consisting of a variety of opinions and tendencies
Which need not necessarily be marching in the same direction.
In fact, he will be at odds with himself and will find great difficulty in uniting his own multiplicity for purposes of common action.
Even if he is outwardly protected by the social forms of the intermediary stage, he will have no defense against his inner multiplicity.
The disunion within himself may cause him to give up, to lapse into identity with his surroundings.
Like the initiate of a secret society who has broken free from the undifferentiated collectivity,
The individual on his lonely path needs a secret which, for various reasons, he may not or cannot reveal.
Such a secret reinforces him in the isolation of his individual aims.
A great many individuals cannot bear this isolation.
They are the neurotics, who necessarily play hide-and-seek with others
As well as with themselves, without being able to take the game really seriously.
As a rule, they end by surrendering their individual goal to their craving for collective conformity
A procedure which all the opinions, beliefs, and ideals of their environment encourage.
Moreover, no rational arguments prevail against the environment.
Only a secret which the individual cannot betray, one which he fears to give away, or which he cannot formulate in words,
And which, therefore, seems to belong to the category of crazy ideas can prevent the otherwise inevitable retrogression.
The need for such a secret is in many cases so compelling that the individual finds himself involved in ideas and actions for which he is no longer responsible.
He is being motivated neither by caprice nor arrogance, but by a dira necessitas which he himself cannot comprehend.
This necessity comes down upon him with savage fatefulness, and perhaps for the first time in his life, demonstrates to him
The presence of something alien and more powerful than himself in his own most personal domain, where he thought himself the master.
The man, therefore, who, driven by his daimon, steps beyond the limits of the intermediary stage,
Truly enters the untrodden, untreadable regions where there are no charted ways and no shelter spreads a protecting roof over his head.
There are no precepts to guide him when he encounters an unforeseen situation, for example, a conflict of duties.
For the most part, these sallies into no man's land last only as long as no such conflicts occur,
And come swiftly to an end as soon as conflict is sniffed from afar.
I cannot blame the person who takes to his heels at once.
But neither can I approve his finding merit in his weakness and cowardice.
Since my contempt can do him no further harm,
I may as well say that I find nothing praiseworthy about such capitulations.
But if a man faced with a conflict of duties undertakes to deal with them absolutely on his own responsibility,
and before a judge who sits in judgment on him day and night, he may well find himself in an isolated position.
There is now an authentic secret in his life which cannot be discussed, if only because he is involved in an endless inner trial
In which he is his own counsel and ruthless examiner, and no secular or spiritual judge can restore his easy sleep.
If he were not already sick to death of the decisions of such judges, he would never have found himself in a conflict.
For such a conflict always presupposes a higher sense of responsibility.
It is this very quality which keeps its possessor from accepting the decision of a collectivity.
In his case, the court is transposed to the inner world where the verdict is pronounced behind closed doors.
Once this happens, the psyche of the individual acquires heightened importance.
It is not only the seat of his well-known and socially defined ego;
It is also the instrument for measuring what it is worth in and for itself.
Nothing so promotes the growth of consciousness as this inner confrontation of opposites.
Quite unsuspected facts turn up in the indictment, and the defense is obliged to discover arguments hitherto unknown.
In the course of this, a considerable portion of the outer world reaches the inner, and by that very fact, the outer world is impoverished or relieved.
On the other hand, the inner world has gained that much weight by being raised to the rank of a tribunal for ethical decisions.
However, the once unequivocal ego loses the prerogative of being merely the prosecutor; it must also learn the role of defendant.
The ego becomes ambivalent, arid, ambiguous, and is caught between hammer and anvil. It becomes aware of a polarity superordinate to itself. It was then that we realized a long-forgotten soul agreement that was made during our early years.
We cannot share this intimate secret agreement, but we can say that it's one of the core responsibilities of shamanism.
It was at this time that we learned what the visions meant and why we have chosen to live in this region.
After almost three years, we have finally learned what we are.
We reincarnate into regions where we needed the most and learn what ails souls to guide them thereafter.
The maturity of the soul is based on experience, and a [redacted] is a caring and experienced spiritual being.
This explains the gap between past lives from the death of Maximilian in 1763 to the birth of Albert in 1875.
We acted as the [redacted] for the Austrian Netherlands and Belgium for well over a century.
Then, as King of the Belgians, we led a collective of souls through times of difficulty and strife.
With our work finished in Belgium, we then reincarnated in America to analyze and study the people of this land.
This work is isolating for us here in the physical world, and sometimes we wish to go home.
Then we remember the reason we're here and what we're meant to do.
We're the ones who carry the lantern that shows the way forward.
The shining star during the twilight nights that guides lost souls.
The lighthouse that protects ships across dark, treacherous seas.
We're the light that guides and protects souls.
That's what we do here on Earth.
Our nuummite sterling silver ring contributed to this discovery.The oldest mineral on Earth, Nuummite, was formed over three billion years ago from volcanic origins.
Nuummite, the Sorcerer’s Stone, draws from the fiery energies of ancient Earth and combines with the elements of Storm.
Black as midnight shadows on moonlit water, this talisman shimmers with mystical gold light, lifting the murky to see what lies beneath.
It is a stone of personal magic, increasing the frequency of synchronicities and luck, clairvoyance, intuition,
And for those evolved enough to work with its intensity, it allows for journeying deep into the personal psyche, offering a clear vision of one’s true Self.
It helps to release energies trapped in the unconscious and brings the gift of inner power, healing, and self-mastery.On March 27th, 2022, our kitten, Moses, passed away at the age of six months.
About three months prior, we had a premonition dream with disembodied voices whispering in our living room.
They spoke about how our kitten only had three months left to live.
At first, we didn't want to take the dream seriously. We thought it was related to us. It was not.
Our kitten passed away in the living room from feline leukemia at the age of six months.
The same place where the dream had taken place...
After we buried him, a pinkish-red tulip grew at the base of the grave one week later.
No tulips were ever planted in our yard, and it was the only tulip around.
During this time, we had the wallpaper on our phone set to tulips.
This was a kind gesture by our fellow [redacted] from the dream.
An audible vision occurred the day of his passing while resting, which was distinctly heard.
The vision had a female voice who spoke: "We have a 302." Followed by beeping noises.
This alarmed us enough to make us jump to search for the meaning behind those numbers.
Much to our shock, we learned that 302 is a unique code for Pennsylvania.
Section 302 of the Mental Health Procedures Act. Involuntary commitment.
We did not know what this code meant until we researched it online.
At first, we thought this was related to our current mental state. Again. It was not...
Nine months later, an incident on the 1300 block of Grandview Avenue
When Officer Sean Sluganski was murdered by a mentally ill individual.
This occurred just three blocks away from our house on 1300 Craig St.
We realized shortly after that we experienced an auditory vision of when the two arrived at UMPC McKeesport Hospital.
The female voice was the nurse who referred to the suspect as a code 302, and the beeping was the medical equipment.
We learned soon after that we had an underdeveloped gift that wasn't completely understood until now.
Given the nature of that vision, we have since learned that we are a [redacted].
We realized that we're not the only ones when our faithful companion, Hannah, passed away on November 29th, 2023.
We knew intuitively that she was going home soon, and we were secretly afraid for the canine we cared deeply for.
It was two weeks before her death that a workout glove disappeared and was returned the following day.
Our pain was felt, and this message meant that someone was there to guide her when the time came.
Originally, we thought it was a normal spirit, but now we know it was a [redacted]. That assured us.
On the last night, we hugged her goodbye before she left us to go home in the morning.
The glove disappearing meant that she'd be gone soon, but not to worry.
For one day, like the glove, she will return and we'll meet again.He has a passionate interest in everything that affects the worker, his life, and his well-being.
In fact, Albert did not hesitate to frequent a cabaret table or to visit a coal mine, as in Seraing in 1897, where he descended into a mine shaft six hundred meters underground.
•
In the spring of 1898, Albert made a trip to North America, which took him first to the United States and then to Canada.
This four-month journey from the 3rd of March to July 2nd led him successively to
Washington, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Salt Lake City, Denver, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Toronto, Ottawa, and finally Quebec, where he notably visited Montreal.
This very formative journey offered the young man the opportunity to acquire new knowledge and to meet a society very different from that which he encountered in Europe.
He came into contact with American political and financial circles. He is as much impressed by the degree of industrialization as by the natural beauty of the places he visits.
•
On November 17, 1905, the Count of Flanders Philippe dies; his son Albert, therefore, becomes the heir to the crown.
However, Leopold II not preparing him to reign, Albert understands that he must train in the shadows for his future monarchical functions.
He read a lot of books in various fields: political economy, statistics, sociology, and philosophy.
•
On December 23, 1909, the crowd present in Brussels to attend the ceremonies surrounding the taking of the oath gave a particularly warm welcome to the new king.
Albert I is the first sovereign to take the constitutional oath in French and in Dutch.
In the speech he delivers, he defines two objectives of the new reign: more humanity towards the Congolese population and more social justice.
During the first years of his reign, Albert I strictly limited himself to his constitutional role. He surrounds himself with personalities of liberal tendency.
•
The king tries, from the beginning of his reign, to bring the monarchy closer to the people, in particular by removing the armed escort which separated him from the crowd.
And by authorizing journalists to accompany him on his travels. In terms of image, the couple he forms with the queen offers an impression of modernity.
Their personalities are contrasting, but Albert's reserve and Elisabeth's spontaneity are complementary. They share the same humanistic vision of society.
•
The door banged. Alfred Haine, who runs a little inn in the village of Marche-les-Dames,
Looked up just at dinner time to see a man in tweeds, very pale, very breathless, but despite his nervousness, very polite.
"Please may I use your telephone?" he asked. "My friend, my friend was climbing the cliffs. He seems to be lost. Perhaps he has had an accident. Please, I must telephone at once to Brussels."
"But of course," said M. Haine. The man in tweeds put through his call and darted out into the night again. An hour and a half later, he was back, with his knees muddy and his jacket torn.
"Has my friend come back? A tall gentleman, red cheeks, curly hair, a white mustache?" He dove to the telephone again, then went off to continue his search, this time with several helpers.
Alfred Haine was told to stay in his inn. At ten o'clock, a heavy automobile roared up, and then Alfred Haine knew that something dreadful had happened.
Out stepped two of King Albert's personal aides, Count Xavier de Grunne and General Baron Jacques de Dixmunde, with a doctor.
They joined the searching parties crawling over the cliffs, shouting to each other, their flashlights flickering like wintry fireflies.
There are more carillons and bell towers in Belgium than in any other country in Europe. The next morning, in every village and town, the deepest bell in every tower began to toll.
The last time they had sounded like that was in 1914. This was not the next war, but the passing of one of the greatest heroes of the last. Albert King of the Belgians was dead.
Early that afternoon in Brussels, King Albert, eager for exercise, had slipped into his dressing room and put on an old pair of riding breeches and hobnail boots.
His son, Crown Prince Leopold, was where he himself longed to be, at Adelbogen, high in the Swiss Alps.
For a passionate Alpinist, most of Belgium is as flat as a hand, but lusty Albert thought he knew a place.
Only a few days earlier, the Belgian Cabinet had set aside the cliffs near Marche-les-Dames as a national park. Marche-les-Dames "The Walk of the Ladies"
Got its name from 139 Noble Widows of Crusaders who in 1101 pooled their resources, built an abbey above those cliffs, and retired there to spend the rest of their lives.
King Albert knew that the cliffs were nearly 600 feet high, full of exciting chimneys, crevasses, and pinnacles. With only his valet, van Dyck, he jumped in a little car and drove over.
At the foot of the cliffs, he looked at his watch and recalled that he had an engagement at the Palais des Sports in Brussels that evening.
Then he took a rope, a canvas knapsack, and a climbing ax out of the rear of the car and started up the cliffs.
At two in the morning, when the search seemed most hopeless, Baron de Dixmunde, atop the cliff, tripped over a rope caught around the limb of a tree. The end was broken.
Twenty feet below were the King's broken glasses and his cap. There were traces of blood on the rocks. At the foot of the cliff lay the body of Albert.
He was quite dead. There was a great hole in the back of his skull.
In the royal residence, Castle Laeken, he lay in state in his own very simple bedroom. A heavy white bandage was wrapped around his head, and he wore the olive-drab uniform of a general.
The scarlet sash of the Grand Cross of Leopold was across his chest. There was an ivory crucifix in his bruised hands. The plain rosewood bed on which he lay was covered with white lilacs.
Two yellow altar candles burned steadily at its foot, two black-gowned nuns prayed at its head. His clock ticked steadily away on the bedside table.
Albert of Belgium was a German prince. His father was a prince of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. His mother was a Hohenzollern. Like George of England,
Albert of Belgium had little expectation as a young man of ever succeeding to the throne. His father was white-bearded, old King Leopold's younger brother.
Leopold had an heir, the Comte de Hainaut. Albert himself had an older brother, Prince Baudoin.
But the Comte de Hainaut died. So, very mysteriously, did Prince Baudoin, and Albert's father, renounce his own right to the throne.
In 1898, Albert went to the U. S. for the first time, a gangling blond young man loosely disguised as the Comte de Rethy.
Quickly losing his entertainers, he got a job as a reporter on a Brooklyn paper.
Later, he worked on another paper in St. Paul. Famed old Railway Tycoon James J. Hill taught him to drive a locomotive.
In 1900, he married another German, Princess Elisabeth of Bavaria, and succeeded his uncle as King of the Belgians nine years later.
On July 31, 1914, Albert of Belgium rejected the demands of his royal cousin Wilhelm II to give German troops free passage through Belgium to France,
And what happened after that, all the world knows.
Albert of Belgium became one of the great heroes of the 20th Century. Tall, handsome,
He was the only king in Europe to take personal command of his troops and fight in the trenches with them through the war.
"I listened to the generals," he once said to Marshal Joffre,
''and it seemed to me a great responsibility to decide between their different plans, so I would just pick out the one that made the most sense."
With his own hands, he shot and killed a traitorous chauffeur who was trying to kidnap him through the lines to Germany.
He let his young son Leopold enlist as a private at the age of 13 so that he should know "what a serious business this is, being a king."
After the War, perhaps because Belgium's royal family has never been a rich one, King Albert's simple way of living became world-famed.
He rode on streetcars unattended. When mountain climbing, the sport he loved best, he shared his sandwiches with his guides, and he dug himself very deep into the world's affections.Resources:
