Me: Okay. Can you share a past life that most affected your last one, Marilyn?
Marilyn: Oh, that’s so interesting!
Me: I get that a lot!
(Pause)
Jamie (to Marilyn): Right, right. So, that would be a different category.
Jamie (laughing): She was going back to the one as Norma Jean, and Erik was like, “No, another one. Another life.” It was cute!
(Pause)
Jamie: Uh, she’s giving me an image of being a mechanic. Older man, maybe 50s to 60s? She lived in Germany, and she was putting cars together.
Marilyn: I was not the owner, nor even the designer of the car. I was just the mechanic. I wasn’t married, really didn’t have any family, and it was the kindness of the manufacturer that recognized me as being a creative designer. He pulled me out of the field even at an older age when it wasn’t even considered appropriate to work. I was put in front of the thinkers, and I had never come across anyone in my lifetime that could see people for who they are and for that person to be so rich and in such a higher position in life.
Me: Wow.
Marilyn: I remember throughout my whole life, I worked, and now I was getting praised because somebody saw the good in me. I just wanted to be that man in that next life—to see the good in people.
Me: Yeah. What a beautiful thing to want.
Marilyn: That influenced me, because the next life I came into, I was Norma Jean, and I tried my best to see the good in people, but all I signed up for was disconnect.
Me: Yeah. Yeah. Now that you have a fresh perspective, do you have any messages to share with the world?
Marilyn: Sexy is beautiful, yet beauty only exists if there’s honesty.
Me: I like that! Honesty with others and honesty with yourself.
Marilyn: Yes. Across the board.
Me: Is there anything else you want to ask Ms. Monroe, Erik? Not her measurements, please!
Erik (laughing): Nope, just that I’m going to walk her home!
Me: Oh, I bet!
Me: Well, thank you do much, Ms. Monroe, for coming here today.
Marilyn: Thank you for having me.
Jamie: It’s cool, because she’s not that tall or than thin. She’s very much full-figured.
Me: Good! That’s the way women should be. (That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it!)
Jamie: Beautiful woman, and her skin is gorgeous!
