Thanks for clarifying that. Also, what was the name of the yogi that taught you? (so I can see it spelled out)

So here's my biggest question for you...how do you decide what's real and what is created in the imagination? Or does that not matter to you? Why do you believe you were a Templar Knight, because your mind told you? or because you have memories of it? How do you know your mind isn't making it up?

I'm not trying to be critical, I'm just interested in your thought process, and if there is any sort of filtration system from what your mind tells you to what you incorporate into your belief system.
