October 25, 2021 | “‘Dead girl’ comes back to life, knows SECRETS she shouldn’t | The reincarnation of Dorothy Eady” (MrBallen)
MrBallen begins the YouTube video as follows: “In 1979, New York Times’ article described her story as being, quote, one of the Western world’s most intriguing and convincing cases of reincarnation.” This is the story of Dorothy Eady, later known as Omm Sety.
One of the sources MrBallen referenced is the article “She Had Her Life to Live Over” by John Anthony West in the New York Times (which appeared in print on July 26, 1987). According to the article, Dorothy Eady was born in London, England, in 1904. “At the age of 3 she fell down the stairs, was knocked unconscious and declared dead by the family doctor. But an hour later, when the doctor returned to prepare the body, the little girl was sitting up in bed, playing. Shortly thereafter she began to have recurring dreams of life in a huge columned building, and she was often in tears, insisting ‘I want to go home.’” This “home” would be Egypt, and she would later move there.
During her time in Egypt, “she kept on making Egyptological discoveries based on what she insisted was memory, not research or mere intuition.” She believed “that in her former life she had been King Seti’s lover” as well as a “temple priestess.”
Presumably the 1979 article was “a story about Omm Sety/Dorothy Eady by Christopher Wren, a New York Times correspondent, from The Times.”
This 1987 article also mentions the book The Search for Omm Sety: A True Story of Eternal Love—and One Woman’s Voyage Through the Ages (1989), by Jonathan Cott and with contribution from Hanni (Henry?) El Zeini. As written on the book’s cover from the New York Times Book Review, it is “a book for anyone interested in reincarnation.” I have not read the book; have you?
On a side note, I enjoy MrBallen’s YouTube videos—or, as he describes them, the “strange, dark, and mysterious delivered in story format.” I cannot vouch for the authenticity of the stories, but he is an amazing storyteller. Many times I regret listening to the story as some are very dark (and tragic, heartbreaking, etc.), but I have also gone through almost all of his +220 videos, so ... I guess it is a testament to his skill as a storyteller.
