A viewer asks: “Source Creator, why do so many people who seem to know about past lives think they were Joan of Arc? Karl had a client who claimed that and you had confirmed it in a fascinating response.”

This may come up among differing individuals, all of whom could not be that person for a variety of reasons. Sometimes it is indeed wishful thinking, a kind of fantasy; it can be deeply ingrained as a consequence of delusional thinking in some individuals. It is most commonly disinformation implanted by dark spirits or extraterrestrial psychics toying with someone and manipulating them to believe they are special when such is not the case. This is a kind of easy reward imposters can offer their prey as a form of flattery to gain their trust and continued engagement, thinking they are being befriended from on high, and the evidence is being told amazing secret knowledge that will be more readily accepted because it is flattering to the ears of the recipient and, indeed, this is why you will not hear many people claiming to have been a former tyrant like Caligula or Genghis Khan. The example you gave of your channel's client was not his accepting a claim made by them of that prior history, but a divine revelation to him directly in the course of doing some healing work for her, and she was not aware of that history at all. He himself doubted this at first and it was only through subsequent channeling to confirm this that helped him believe it. That doubt is understandable and based on the same concerns of the questioner here, in knowing that many times false information about the lineage of an individual is proffered as an enticement or reward of some kind to satisfy someone getting a psychic reading, for example, and is not easy to corroborate or discredit directly. This is why your channel has not heretofore discussed his prior lineage nor looked into it in detail. Indeed, his awareness he was Allan Kardec was revealed to him by someone else, and that is what prompted him to check on it with us to verify its accuracy as he has come to believe it is often a disinformation maneuver of some kind for people to be told they were a lofty figure in the past.
