Visit from /k/ and /buddhism/ here (never posted on /x/ before but you guys seem to be experts on the subject of a question I have).
I think I may have been this guy in one of my past lives- Baron Roman Nikolaevich von Ungern-Sternberg due to some of the similarities in personality between me and him, our political views, our phobias, behaviors, and my family history.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_von_Ungern-Sternberg
I've read a number of sources in both English and Russian regarding the life of the baron, as well as a translated German account of him from the 1930's. Is there any way I can prove this without paying someone to do past-life regression with me?

How about you elaborate on these circumstances, and we can offer our own opinion?

>personality
I never really had a lot of confidence in myself or my talents (I've attempted suicide before by hanging)- something that the Baron shared. He would frequently request advice about a lot of stuff from mongolian fortune-tellers (like where to the red army was going to move it's troops) because he didn't trust his own instincts alone. Whenever I've had a spiritual problem, I've always tried to seek the advice of priests or lamas because I am no spiritual master. I've had a fascination with Far Eastern religion and culture since a young age- again something the Baron had. Furthermore, I was a heavy drinker and chain-smoker (like, three beers every single day and two packs of clove cigarettes a day) before I got seriously involved in Vajrayana Buddhism- which the Baron shared. I practice celibacy and would only marry someone if there was a clear benefit to be gained- something the Baron was until he married a Chinese Princess so he could gain favor with Qing Restorationists. Finally, I have always considered myself very religious- raised as lutheran but never really into it, having been a die-hard Orthodox Christian for a while before converting to Tibetan Buddhism- the exact same thing that happened in the Baron's life.
>political views
Both of us hate fucking commies more than anything in the entire world- not for economic reasons really (in fact I agree with single-payer healthcare among other things), but due to the fact communists are militant atheists who frequently kill religious people and burn down houses of worship. I believe that marxism is atheist-supremacy in the same way neo-nazism can be described as white-supremacy.The Baron explained to his men that the Bolsheviks did not want to "liberate the peasantry", as they claimed- but rather were seeking to destroy faith itself- and NOTHING in this world pisses me off more than people being persecuted for their faith. I also think democracy is doomed to fail and am a Monarchist- something the Baron was too. I am also a very hardline Russian nationalist- which the Baron was too despite being a Baltic German.
>phobias
I will admit I have some big mental problems- one of which being severe OCD, specifically the fear of germs and insects like cockroaches or ants- because of which I will search my room for insects before I go to sleep and wash my hands multiple times a day. Apparently when the Baron's soldiers mutinied against him, they tied him up and left him stranded in the middle of the Mongolian Steppe. When the Bolsheviks found him and sent him off the be executed by firing squad, he was covered in ants and was squirming from the discomfort.
>behaviors
The Baron loved war and would often go out of his way to volunteer for big tasks, even if it was near suicidal to do so (like charging into machine gun fire on horseback in WW1). I have always felt like ti has been my duty to volunteer for a task that needs to be done if no-one else bothers to do it, even if it means personal discomfort to me. I've already mentioned the alcohol and smoking- but I will say that I've stopped (for the most part) since converting to Vajrayana buddhism.
>family history
I spent my childhood on a horse ranch, where I pretty much learned to ride a horse before I learned how to walk. This fits in with the Baron's life- as lead his own Asiatic Calvary Division in the Russian Civil War and was such a good rider that he impressed the Mongolians under his command. My mother has German Ancestry but my father was a full-blooded Russian- so there's the possible heritage connection. I speak english, Russian, and a tad bit of german- which were all languages the Baron spoke in his lifetime (albeit in addition to french and Mongolian). The first time I ever entered a Buddhist Datsan (and I follow the same school of buddhism as the Baron)- I felt this weird connection that made me confused as to whether I was in heaven or on earth.
And I didn't really know who the Baron was until somebody at my Datsan mentioned that there was a famous buddhist commander in the Russian Civil War I might enjoy reading about- so I rented a book about him from my university library and once I finished it, I saw three different movies about his life. I became somewhat obsessed with him, but in a good way because- well, my whole life I've suffered from some really bad depression (suicide attempts before) because I viewed my life as very cheap and worthless- but ever since I started reading about the Baron and the great things he accomplished and how similar some of my life is to his…I don't know how to describe it- I just feel better about myself in some weird way.

Forgot to mention that in his childhood, the Baron strangled his neighbor's pet Owl. One time I got drunk at a new year' eve party and shot an owl with a flare gun.

As far as I know, the only way to 'prove' that a person is someone's reincarnation is to ask him to provide information that only the deceased could have known, and the living had no way of knowing. Usually this is done when the person is still a child, since the memories of past lives seem to fade away as you grow up. Don't bother with past-life regression, it's a scam. They'll just tell you whatever you want to hear.

>Is there any way I can prove this without paying someone to do past-life regression with me?
I mean, do you want to prove it to yourself, or brag about it to your friends? The only irrefutable way to prove stuff like that is gaining access to past life memories, if any exist. And that's fucking difficult.
And if you're not trying to produce irrefutable evidence, then why are we having this conversation? You might be him, you might not be. What does it matter? Everybody's gonna think they were someone important or famous, the truth is, there's only so many famous people to go around. I can safely say 500.0000 people think they were Napoleon. And Napoleon might not even be one of them.
What is irrefutable now is that you are a lot like him. There are archetypes, patterns repeat everywhere and everywhen in the universe .Learn what you can from him, and try not to repeat his mistakes. Unless you wanna brag about it, it doesn't make any difference whether you were him or not. Ultimately, it's up to you. Just don't go bragging or daydreaming about some past life's accomplishments in lieu of fixing shit in your present life.
Heck, sometimes I slip into thinking I was someone specific. Then I remember I have shit to do, and my life's accomplishments don't hold a candle to his. So at most I think of him as an exemplar, and example to follow. Anything more would be undignified of me.
You can look up how to do past life regression by yourself, if it's of any worth. Most works by tricking your subconcious into a self-generated dream, so it's only "as if" it was real anyway. Not that it makes a difference.

This is just a urban legend of sorts, but some officers within the Kuomintang speculated that before his men mutinied against him, the Baron hid a large cache of weapons and explosives somewhere in the vast, barren steppes of Outer Mongolia. Some people believe that the 13th Dalai Lama (who the Baron wrote letters to frequently) supplied most of these, so that he and his soldiers could hunt down the communists who killed them even after their rebirths, until the end of samsara itself. In one of the documentaries I watched- apparently there's one Chinese guy who's spent the last twenty or so years searching for it because he thinks the Baron hid a lot of the silver he looted from Chinese villages on the border there too. Keep in mind this is all just a legend among some Kuomintang officers and nobody in the Baron's ranks ever wrote about this being a thing- but if this is real, would finding the location be proof of something only the deceased could have known, thus fulfilling the criteria?

I don't care what anyone else thinks about me. I realize that since the beginning of time I've probably been a hell-being, a hungry ghost, a animal, a asura, or a deva probably billions of times due to the nature of samsara- but learning whether or not I was the Baron in a previous life is ultimately a personal goal. That is an example of one of the more rarer human rebirths, and one that I can look up to as an example/mentior to live my current life by- however less of a candle it holds to the life of Baron Roman von Ungern-Sternberg.

Treasure hunting? "Outer Mongolia" covers a very, very wide space you know. I think you'd need a much better clue than past life memories to find something like that.

Oh, I see. You're trying to rely on Fate/Providence instead. I guess that'd work well enough, but it wouldn't be entirely convincing.

Yes, actually. Right now I am saving my money up for a two-week pilgrimage to Tamchinsky Datsan in Buryatia. This was a Datsan where Baron Ungern used as a headquarters temporarily, and is currently run by buddhist monks who still dig up old weapons every now and then. I want to go ask them what they know and if they can help me with my questions, after which I might try and get a Mongolian visa to travel to Urga- but that'll be years off.
