A man I knew used to tell me things about my life that he couldn't possibly know. We met thru work after I had moved across a continent and he couldn't possibly know. After a while he also explained that I was a very old soul. I asked how old and he said I was from Lemuria. I'd never heard the name before. Also that I'd lived many lives since then. Through books and educating myself I learned of Lemuria and want to learn so much more about life there.
