The Robe: The movie

This movie stars Richard Burton and Jean Simmons. It is about the Crucifixion of Jesus by a Roman Centurian (Richard Burton) in 1953. His wife to be Jean Simmons waits for him in Rome. Being the Centurian leading the troops to crucify Jesus drives the Centurian temporarily mad. His slave Demetrius, a Greek keeps the robe of Jesus.

This movie is made in the early 1950s with a lot of the same sentiment as the movie "The Ten Commandments for Moses. For Christians likely this will be a very inspiring movie from that era.

Jean Simmons was also in:

While watching "The Robe" I had what seemed like past life memories of Rome and Israel at that time. I first saw this movie as a boy sometime between the ages of 8 and 9 years of age and found it sort of disturbing at the time. The Madness of Caesar Tiberius really upset me at the time I remember.  But most of all much of the times seemed memorable to me like I had lived then as a Roman of means and likely as a Roman Centurian myself. I find past lives are always really interesting to try to understand. You tend to get bits and pieces of past lives and often the souls who are reincarnated now in your life might be some of the ones you knew then because often certain souls incarnate in friend and family groups. One time you are the father, the next you might be the son or some other configuration depending upon what it is you are trying to learn in that specific lifetime. This is my experience. However, I think everyone should have their own unique experience regarding things like this. For example, angels generally don't choose to ever be humans and yet many humans are incarnate angels. So, what does one do with that information? So, from that point of view maybe angels become humans sometimes when they are angels for advanced degrees through testing. Sort of like if you want to be an Archangel maybe you have to be successful as a human first? But being successful as a human doesn't necessarily mean being financially successful. It might mean being compassionate and helpful in a really efficient manner to all beings.
