How To Confront Your Fears And Become Unstoppable!
It seems that today I started to behave in new way, just in accordance with Fani Stipković latest article for the Huffington Post:
How To Confront Your Fears And Become Unstoppable!
03/16/2017 09:16 am ET
I often hear people saying ‘I am not lucky’ or ‘If only I was luckier, my life would be so much better’. Well, I have to admit, I don’t believe in luck and I never had. I think luck has to do with your own preparation for the opportunities you get in life; and if you are not prepared, those opportunities will pass you by. How do you prepare yourself? You do this by constantly working on yourself, finding what blocks you, and then directly confronting your fear by facing it. What is the most common barrier that stops us from having these opportunities? It’s our fear and the story we tell ourselves about why we can’t have something.
“IF YOU KEEP TELLING THE SAME, SAD SMALL STORY, YOU WILL KEEP LIVING THE SAME, SAD, SMALL LIFE.” -Jean Houston
I think that there is no bigger enemy to human’s growth than fear. Fear paralyses you; just like poison; it kills all of your dreams immediately. Fear puts your desires, passions and motivations to sleep and it makes you doubt and question everything. Does fear run the show in your life? If you are not living the life of your dreams, it probably does.
F.E.A.R. has two meanings:
Forget Everything And Run
Or
Face Everything And Rise
When I was in my early twenties, I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease; it wasn’t exactly the best news I’ve heard. I remember all the terrified faces of the people, friends, and family who were paralyzed by fear; thinking that my future is probably destroyed. If I had allowed that story to become my life, my future would have been destroyed. However; even though I was very young; I never let that energy affect me, that just wasn’t going to be my story. My story was ‘Crohn will not run my life.’
I continued to live as if I’d never heard this information, and I increased my already large desire for a healthy lifestyle, I fell in love with organic food and I started saying to myself jokingly that my stomach filters only the best, healthy food. I adopted the attitude that God is simply giving me extra strength for everything he has prepared for me in life.
I stopped talking about it and listening to everyone who has ‘something’ to say and was treating me as if I were sick. I’ve created ‘My story’ and in that story I’ve turned my fear into courage; and I still don’t care if someone understands my story or not.
I just never allowed the fear of Crohn to limit me or my possibilities. I didn’t allow fear to dominate my thoughts and actions or to be ruled by ‘what if…’.Instead of that, I firmly believed I’m going to cure myself; and my belief was stronger than my fear. My belief took the power of my fear away.
“YOU BECOME FEARLESS ONCE FEAR DOESN’T FEAR YOU ANYMORE.” -Unkown
And today, regardless of occasional obstacles provoked by health, I am and I do feel as healthy and grateful as ever. I do Cross Fit 6 times a week; even though everyone told me not to work out; I am still a journalist who is in love with her profession more than anything in the world, even though everyone told me to change my profession because it’s stressful. The most important thing is that I am a happy person who is grateful for all the good and bad that happened in my life. No bad situation ever killed my positivity, my passion or my attitude. Instead of counting excuses, I started counting opportunities.
What is your story? Have you found a thousand reasons why you shouldn’t succeed or have you found one good reason why you will? We don’t become what we say or think, we become what we believe. And if we don’t have something, it’s because we don’t think we deserve it.
So how do you break the old patterns that are stopping you, how do you break your fear?
It’s basically like creating a new personality:
1. DO ONE THING EVERY DAY THAT SCARES YOU
What you are most afraid of, you should do. The more difficult it is, the bigger the hidden blessing and the more you will grow. Face and confront your fears. Once you face them, you become limitless.
“THE FEARS WE DON’T FACE BECOME OUR LIMITS.” -Robin Sharma
2. STOP PLEASING PEOPLE
Live your own truth! Don’t say yes if you mean no and don’t settle! Once you stop caring what other people think, once you are not ‘scared’, once you start living your own truth you become free and unstoppable. And that freedom gives you the life you want.
3. LET GO THE NEED TO CONTROL
Confidence can only grow if you lose the fear of the unknown! Allow yourself to fail because that’s the only way you can grow. Give yourself the gift of compassion, know that you are learning. Surrender to the flow of life, that’s when life really becomes fun!
“I’VE LEARNED WHEN YOU TRY TO CONTROL EVERYTHING, YOU ENJOY NOTHING.” -Unkown
4. FIND OUT WHERE YOUR FEAR COMES FROM
Examine your weaknesses, get to know yourself. Isolate yourself, identify them, and study them. Make a list of your fears and identify where they come from. Fear usually comes from ego; once you kill your ego; there will be nothing else stopping you from your dream.
5. GO OUTSIDE OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE
Are you really happy, or just comfortable? It’s much easier to remain within the boundaries of where you feel comfortable than facing the fear of overcoming them. Step out of your comfort zone and into something new, the unknown is a place where the magic of your growth will happen. Take risks! And most importantly, take the first step.
“IF YOU WANT SOMETHING YOU NEVER HAD, YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING YOU NEVER HAD.” -Thomas Jefferson
Please share with your experiences, I would love to experience our growth together. Let’s meet at the end of our comfort zone.
Love,

WHO IS INCARNATION OF EMPEROR RUDOLF II?
Rudolf II (1552-1612), was Holy Roman Emperor, King of Hungary and Croatia, King of Bohemia and Archduke of Austria, who lived in Rennaisance times. He is bit peculiar, compared with other Habsburg rulers. He's briefly described in this way in Wikipedia article: „Rudolf's legacy has traditionally been viewed in three ways: an ineffectual ruler whose mistakes led directly to the Thirty Years' War; a great and influential patron of Northern Mannerist art; and a devotee of occult arts and learning which helped seed the scientific revolution.“
Emperor Rudolf II spent most of his life in seclusion. He didn't like to travel or even partake in the daily affairs of the state. He rather pursued his own interests, among which were mostly studies of occult arts as astrology and alchemy. In Renaissance these fields were part of the mainstream studies, today they are called 'alternative science', though.
Rudolf undertook a string of (unsuccesful) negotiations for marriages, and remained bachelor for the rest of his life. He had a succession of affairs with women, and had several illegitimate children with his mistress Catherina Strada.
Rudolf moved the traditional capital of Habsburgs from Vienna to Prague in 1583. There he had a large collections of paintings and sculptures. He patronized natural philosophers and astronomers Tycho Brahe and Johannes Kepler. He owned a significant collections of minerals. Rudolf brought to his Prague Castle some of the Europe's best alchemists, like for example Dr. John Dee. It was Rudolf who gave to Prague a mystical reputation, that persist even to this day.
In my opinion, present incarnation of that peculiar Holy Roman Emperor, who indulged into occult sciences, is Croatian alternative scientist, who graduated in chemistry, and has M.Sc. degree. His name is Drago Plečko. He's not just any of numerous alternative scientists in this part of Europe, but outstanding one, as for example Rade Šerbedžija is among actors. Although he has master degree in mainstream science, he also incorporated in his learning some alternative views, and chiefly from the fields of hermetism, alchemy and astrology. Although he has knowledge of whole range of fields of alternative science, his principal interests concern the alternative medicine, based upon the blend of pranic healing traditions of East, of Indian yogis and western Wilhelm Reich's orgone energy healing.
Drago Plečko is author of numerous TV broadcasts and features in magazines. He participated to several world conventions concerning parapsychology and related fields. Plečko is author of six books. He has his therapy center in Samobor, town in vicinity of capital Zagreb. In 1990s he was for a while engaged in politics and has been deputy mayor of Samobor. And - in this life hes married, with children.
PRINCE WILLIAM – INCARNATION OF FERDINAND I OF AUSTRIA
Ferdinand I (1793 –1875) was Emperor of Austria, President of the German Confederation, King of Hungary, Croatia, and Bohemia, as well as associated dominions from the death of his father (Francis II, Holy Roman Emperor). His mental deficiency (primarily his frequent seizures if epilepsy) made him unable to rule the monarchy. His father (in his will, before he died in 1835) appointed Archduke Louis as his proxy in regard of internal policy, and Prince Metternich, in relation with foreign affairs.
In 1831 he married Maria Anna of Savoy, daughter of Victor Emmanuel I of Sardinia. In revolutionary 1848 he was persuaded to abdicate in favor of his nephew, Franz Joseph, who would rule Austro-Hungarian Monarchy for the next 68 years.
Ferdinand I kept a diary on regular basis, in which his thoughts that he noted down are rather coherent. On the day he abdicated, he wrote in his diary: The affair ended with the new Emperor kneeling before his old Emperor and Lord, that is to say, me, and asking for a blessing, which I gave him, laying both hands on his head and making the sign of the Holy Cross ... then I embraced him and kissed our new master, and then we went to our room. Afterwards I and my dear wife heard Holy Mass ... After that I and my dear wife packed our bags."
It is obvious that he loved his wife, but also that she loved him, as in the 20th century they incarnated as Prince William and Kate Middleton in the same year, in 1982, to be again joined as royal couple. They started to date at the university, in 2003, and married in 2010. They have two children, son and daughter. (In past incarnation as Ferdinand I, Prince William was 10 years older than his spouse, and they had no children.)
This is proof that ruler who was unable to rule in one incarnation, may perform his duty with no obstacles in the next (as was the case of Henry VI, king of England).

WERE THERE ANY AUSTRIAN-BORN INCARNATONS OF HABSBURG EMPERORS?
Answering the above question we can say with certainty that there WERE Austrian-born present/20th century incarnations of Habsburg rulers. One of them is, for example, incarnation of Maria Therese's father, Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI, that is – actor Helmut Berger, actor born at Bad Ischl, Austria, well known tourist resort, where Franz Josef I used to spend his summer vacations. He is famous actor known for his collaboration with Italian movie director Luchino Visconti. Actor's wife Francesca Guidato (Italian writer) is incarnation of Holy Roman Empress Elisabeth Christine of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel.
Charles VI (1685 – 1740) succeeded his elder brother, Joseph I, as Holy Roman Emperor, King of Bohemia, King of Hungary and Croatia, and King of Serbia, Archduke of Austria, etc., in 1711. He married Elisabeth Christine of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, by whom he had his two children: Maria Theresa, born 1717, the last Habsburg sovereign, and Maria Anna, born 1718, Governess of the Austrian Netherlands. Four years before the birth of Maria Theresa, faced with his lack of male heirs, Charles provided for a male-line succession failure with the Pragmatic Sanction of 1713. The Emperor favoured his own daughters over those of his elder brother and predecessor, Joseph I, in the succession, ignoring the decree he had signed during the reign of his father, Leopold I.
Helmut Berger, incarnation of Holy Roman Emperor, as young man studied in Italy, and in 1964 went to Rome, where in 1964 he first met Luchino Visconti. Visconti gave him his first acting role in the film Le streghe (The Witches, 1967), but he gained international prominence as the amoral Martin von Essenbeck in Visconti's The Damned (1969). In Visconti's Ludwig (1972), Berger portrays Ludwig II of Bavaria from his blooming youth to his dissolute final years. (Emperor in a role of king!)
In the 1990s, Berger acted in the music video to Madonna's song "Erotica" in 1992. This is interesting, having in mind that Madonna is incarnation of French queen, Eleanor of Austria, wife of King Francis I (1515-1547). (Incarnations of emperor and queen in the same music video!)
Exactly 50 years earlier, on the same day (29th of May 1894), in Vienna was born novie director Josef von Sternberg. He is incarnation of Holy Roman Emperor Matthias I, born also in Vienna in 1557. After moving to USA as a teenager, he later, in the 1920s started his Hollywood career. Now one interesting citation from Wikipedia, in article about him: „Sternberg worked on late silent films in the late 1920s, by which time he had adopted the use of "von" in his name, a pretension to aristocratic origins to which he had no claim.” We who knows that he is incarnation of an emperor, can only laugh to this remark. Josef von Sternberg discovered then-unknown actress Marlene Dietrich. He helped to create the Dietrich legend in the six additional films they made together in Hollywood.
Holy Roman Emperor Matthias married Archduchess Anna of Austria (incarnation: Jeanette McBride, von Sternberg’s wife), daughter of his uncle Archduke Ferdinand II of Austria, whose successor in Further Austria Matthias became in 1595. Their marriage did not produce surviving children.
Incarnation of Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II (1578-1637) is another aristocrat, born in Vienna in 1861. His name is Ferdinand I of Bulgaria. Interesting fact is, that they have the same first name, and both are emperors. Ferdinand I was the ruler of Bulgaria from 1887 to 1918; firstly as knyaz (ruling prince, 1887–1908) and later as tsar (king, 1908–18). He was also an author, botanist, entomologist and philatelist. He stems from the same house as today’s Windsors, Britain’s monarchs (House Saxe-Coburg-Gotha). Wikipedia says: “Indeed, the ducal family of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha had contrived to occupy, either by marriage or by direct election, several European thrones in the course of the 19th century. Following the family trend, Ferdinand was himself to found the royal dynasty of Bulgaria.” To save the throne, Ferdinand I abdicated in favor to his eldest son, at the end of World War I, in October 1918.
Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II had two wives, whose incarnations are two Tzar’s wives. Incarnation of Maria Anna of Bavaria is Marie Louise of Bourbon-Parma, and incarnation of Eleanor Gonzaga is Eleonore Reuss of Köstritz. Pay attention on their first names. Holy Roman Emperor and his two wives incarnated all with same first names, three centuries later!

FANI STIPKOVIĆ WAS MARIA THERESIA, AND I HER HUSBAND
I first heard of Fani Stipković some 10 years ago, when she's been completing her study of journalism and also worked as model. Somehow both her and Mia Kovačić I spotted as not only good looking, but also clever girls, whom I deemed something as ideal partner. Of course, I wasn't aware in that time that they both could be 'someone special' from my past incarnations.
I already stated that I'm pretty sure that Mia was my wife in 19th century America. But, how did I come to conclusion that Fani was also my wife, this time in 19th century Austria. I can say that not a long after taking closer look at the photo, more precisely painting of Maria Theresa, I was sure that it must be incarnation of Fani Stipković. That's her, simply because there's not some other like her around. Period.
But, what about her husband, Francis I? At first, I rejected the thought that I could be her husband. I'm not that chubby, double-chinned guy, I thought. But, on the afterthought, and over and over again, I became more and more convinced that it could be me. I wanted to put a marriage proposal to her some five years ago to her but, unexpectedly, 'out of the blue', I fell in love with basketball player Antonija Mišura. Hovever, I gave up of anything like proposal, because, she was in long-term realtionship with Marko Sandrić, and then they married a couple of years ago.
It seems that they both are also incarnation of Austrian nobility from 19th century. Antonija is incarnation of Princess Maria Wilhelmina von Neipperg, and he is incarnation of Prince Johann Adam von Auersperg, her husband, whom she married in 1756. Maria Wilhelmina's father was the teacher and friend of Emperor Francis I. They started their relation even before she got married. Wikipedia article says: “Francis was a serial adulterer, many of his affairs well-known and indiscreet, notably one with Maria Wilhelmina, Princess of Auersperg, who was thirty years his junior. This particular affair was remarked upon in the letters and journals of visitors to the court and in those of his children.“
Emperor Francis I was born at Nancy, in France in 1708 (in same town where Henry VI got married). His father was Leopold, Duke of Lorraine and mother Elisabeth Charlotte of Orleans. (I think their incarnation are Amy Davidson and her husband, Kacy Lockwood. Amy was my sister-in-law from previous incarnation, as Henry VI, born also there, in France.)
Francis and Maria Therese were cousins in third degree. They shared the same great-grandfather, Ferdinand III (incarnation: Henry Fonda). Francis stems from his daughter, Eleanor of Austria (incarnation: Jane Fonda), whilst Maria Therese stems from his son Leopold I (incarnation: Sammy Davis Jr.).
1. FERDINAND III [HENRY FONDA] ’ ELEONOR OF AUSTRIA, daughter [JANE FONDA] ’ LEOPOLD, DUKE OF LORRAINE ’ FRANCIS I [GREAT-GRANDSON OF FERDINAND III]
2. FERDINAND III [HENRY FONDA] ’ LEOPOLD I, son [SAMMY DAVIS JR.] ’ CHARLES VI ’ MARIA THERESE [GREAT-GRANDAUGHTER OF FERDINAND III]
The wedding of imperial couple was held on February 14, 1736. in Vienna. There is one similarity between Francis I and English king Henry VI. “Francis was well content to leave the wielding of power to his able wife.”, Wikipedia says. The emperor was not active in politics at all (that’s why Maria Therese is better remembered then him in history). “...his wife left him in charge of the financial affairs, which he managed well until his death.“, another citation. Here is similarity with William Dickinson (next incarnation), who was treasurer of the Amherst College. And, more similarity with Henry VI. „He also took a great interest in the natural sciences. He was a member of the Freemasons.“ Francis I showed greater interest in his studies, than actually ruling the Empire.
Titles of Maria Theresa - Holy Roman Empress, German Queen, Archduchess of Austria, Queen of Hungary and Croatia, Queen of Bohemia.
Francis I, Holy Roman Emperor and his wife, Maria Theresa had no less than 16 children, of whom 10 survived the infancy. Among them there are two next emperors, Joseph II and Leopold II, and Maria Antonia (better known as Marie Antoinette), queen of France. Honestly, I have to admit that I don't know who their present incarnations are; their faces look familiar to me, though.

HENRY IV OF ENGLAND = FERDINAND III, HOLY ROMAN EMPEROR
Henry IV of England this time incarnated as the great-grandson of John of Gaunt, or Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor. So he became Ferdinand III, Holy Roman Emperor in 1637. Titles that he had are following: Ferdinand III, by the grace of God elected Holy Roman Emperor, forever August, King of Germany, King of Hungary, Bohemia, Dalmatia, Croatia, Slavonia, Rama, Serbia, Galicia, Lodomeria, Cumania and Bulgaria, Archduke of Austria, Duke of Burgundy, Brabant, Styria, Carinthia, Carniola, Margrave of Moravia, Duke of Luxemburg, of the Higher and Lower Silesia, of Württemberg and Teck, Prince of Swabia, Count of Habsburg, Tyrol, Kyburg and Goritia, Marquess of the Holy Roman Empire, Burgovia, the Higher and Lower Lusace, Lord of the Marquisate of Slavonia, of Port Naon and Salines, etc. etc.
Like in his previous existence (in Hundred Years War), he was engaged in big war again. Following the death of Wallenstein in 1634, he was made titular head of the Imperial Army in Thirty Years War.
He had six children who survived early infancy, with three different wives. As it is known, his 20th century incarnation is actor Henry Fonda, who married five times. Those three wives are incarnations of the first three, that he married in 20th century. First he married Archduchess Maria Anna of Spain (incarnation: Susan Blanchard). With her he had three children Ferdinand IV, King of Romans (incarnation Peter Fonda), Maria Anna, Archduchess of Austria (incarnation Vanessa Paradis), and Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor (incarnation: Sammy Davis Jr.). In 1648, Ferdinand III married his second wife, Archduchess Maria Leopoldine of Austria (incarnation: Margaret Sullavan). She bore him one son, Karl Josef, who didn’t reach the adulthood. In my opinion, that son is incarnation of Michael Caine. And finally, with third wife, Eleonora Gonzaga (incarnation: Frances Seymour Fonda), he had two daughters, Eleonora Maria of Austria (incarnation: Jane Fonda) and Maria Anna Josepha (incarnation: Cobie Smulders). [In the picture, Eleonora Gonzaga is obviously, much older, 20 years or more.]
So, this time were not incarnated Kirk Douglas and Gene Wilder, who were his (Henry Fonda's) sons in his Henry IV incarnation. Peter Fonda (Henry V) did incarnate, but as he died young and childless, neither did I incarnate (Henry VI)
JOHN OF GAUNT = FERDINAND I, HOLY ROMAN EMPEROR
John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, who started the English dynasty Lancaster, and whose present incarnation is actor Al Pacino, incarnated again in 16th century as Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor. His then wife Blanche of Lancaster (present incarnation Beverly D'Angelo) incarnated as Empress Anna of Bohemia and Hungary.
They had numerous issue (15 children, with only two not surviving into adulthood), but this time among them there wasn't incarnation of a Lancaster king, more precisely of Henry IV (present incarnation: Henry Fonda). However, among the numerous progeny there was one future Holy Roman Emperor – Maximilian II.
Incarnations of next Lancaster kings will come later, in 17th century, through the Ferdinand I son Charles II, Archduke of Austria. His grandson would become Ferdinand III, Holy Roman Emperor, incarnated king Henry IV of England.

MORE FAMOUS MARSHALITES – GEORGE BUSH JR. AND CHARLIE SHEEN
Along with president of Yugoslavia Tito, there were two more prominent personalities of today, who as the past incarnations lived in the city of Marshall, capital of Harrison county, in East Texas.
George W. Bush, former governor of Texas, is incarnation, actually, of the very first governor of Texas (1845), named James P. Henderson. He came to Texas in 1836 from Mississippi, and was appointed by Sam Houston as the Republic of Texas’ attorney general, and soon became Secretary of State, after Stephen F. Austin’s death.
It is interesting that both Henderson and Isaac van Zandt (incarnation: Charlie Sheen), another political leader of the Republic, went in 1844 to Washington, to secure the annexation of Texas to the United States. As it was earlier said, at that time US president was John Tyler. If is true that incarnation of president’s daughter Pearl Tyler is actress Judy Greer, then in TV series “Two and Half Men” she played along with man who negotiated with her father in the past incarnation, about the annexation of Texas. Sounds strange, isn’t it?

WALTER P. LANE = JOSEPH B. TITO
In my last post I made an unintentional mistake, stating that East Texas is close to Mississippi border, which is not correct. (As a matter of fact, in elementary school I had a blue jacket with big inscription Lousiana State University on the back.) Looking for photos of some possible incarnation of myself in eastern Texas counties, by some strange 'serendipitines' I came upon the past incarnation of ...Josip Broz Tito, famous president of socialist Yugoslavia.
In 19th century he lived in Harrison County, in town called Marshall. (Which is nearer to Mississippi border, then to Texas capital Austin.)Marshall is the rank, which in former Yugoslavia held only Tito. Marion County is just in proximity of the county called Titus. (Titus is name of Roman emperor from I century AD, in Italian – Tito.) And his name was – Walter Paye Lane. (His conspirative name during the war was...Valter.) It seems strange to ask, but, how someone suppose that someone could attend some Soviet guerilla course, and beat the best German generals in warfare? I think, only if he was skilled military leader in past incarnation(s), like Tito was in his 19th century Texas incarnation, as general Walter P. Lane.
And, in that 'Lousiana' jacket I did visit Tito, with a group of chosen pupils, on Brioni island, where he had a residence, in 1976.

IS EMILY DICKINSON'S BROTHER ME (FROM PAST INCARNATION)?
I already mentioned that I thought I was American in my 19th century incarnation. I underwent some kind of non-hypnotic regression, with a group of others in 1992. My conviction was that I lived somewhere in Eastern Texas, near Mississippi border. But, on recent look onto the photographs of famous poet Emily Dickinson (if you remember, I made musical adaptation to two of her poems), I'm not so sure anymore. Maybe I just WAS her brother.
At first look of William Dickinson (interesting fact – middle name Austin = Texas capitol) I spoted some peculiar features, that we two share. At first look of the photographs of his wife Susan, and his mistress Mabel Loomis Todd I didn't recognize in them significant women of my present incarnation. But, on the second look, something began to emerge – the uncanny resemblance of two of my significant loves from 90s and 00 years. First I fell in love with my (presumable) mistress from the past, Andrea Latinović, who was journalist of 'Vjesnik' newspapers (and later editor-in-chief). The other woman, Mia Kovačić was TV host, in some showbiz and fashion broadcasts. Although I seen her only on TV, the attraction was very strong. It is possible, I guess, that we were really husband and wife in our 19th century American incarnation.
But, who is incarnation of Emily Dickinson? My present sister? No – she bears resemblence more to Afdera Franchetti, the fourth wife of Henry Fonda. I think that incarnation of Emily Dickinson could be an American young woman, whom I sent a message on Myspace, some 7-8 years ago. I saw her photograph, and wrote that she reminds of me at that age, more than my sister did. Unfortunatelly, she didn't respond, and also unfortunatelly I've forgotten her name, which I regret. Maybe she was really my sister in 19th century, and incarnation of Emily Dickinson.

MICHAEL DOUGLAS – THE FIRST HABSBURG EMPEROR
It's amazing how different historical personalities are interlocked and related. The good example for this are Albert II, king of Germany (incarnation Prince Rainer III of Monaco) and his successor as king, Frederick III (incarnation Michael Douglas), who became also the first emperor of The Holy Roman Empire, in 1452. As Wikipedia article says „As a cousin of late King Albert II, Frederick became a candidate for the imperial election”.
Prince Rainer married Grace Kelly, who through her daughter Princess Stephanie had grandaughter Pauline Ducruet. Michael Douglas through his wife Diandra Luker had son, Cameron Douglas. Their son is incarnation of the next Holy Roman Emperor, Maximilian I (1459-1519). Prince Rainer’s and Grace Kelly’s grandaughter Pauline is incarnation of his (Maximilian’s) wife Mary, Duchess of Burgundy. But, in her past life, she was grandaughter of the Philip III, Duke of Burgundy (incarnation Bryan Ferry).
Kirk Douglas in that incarnation was not yet the father of Frederick III, as he was contemporarily Thomas, Duke of Clarence, brother of king of England Henry V. It is interesting that Ernest, Duke of Austria (Frederick’s father, also called Ernest the Iron) bears similar features as Kirk Douglas, but has wider head.
We have seen many examples how spouses from previous lives often get together again in this latest incarnation. It remains to be seen if the present incarnation of the Holy Roman Emperor and Empress will get married. They have one thing in common, that is, that they both are grandchildren of famous 1950s actors. Emperor Maximilian I had three wives, and Mary of Burgundy was the first, whom he loved the most, it seems. (After her death in horseback riding incident in 1482, he remained unmarried for the next eight years.) The other two were Anne of Brittany (incarnation Laura Antonelli), whom snatched away French king Charles VIII (Jean-Paul Belmondo) and Bianca Maria Sforza, daughter of Galeazzo Maria Sforza, Duke of Milan (incarnation Valerie Bertinelli).
