I kinda believe in reincarnation and thought myself to have been traveller/scholar Yehuda Halevi in an earlier life.

Do you think that you have been? Or will be? Reincarnation is non-linear in regards to time, as I take it. So perhaps you desire to accomplish what he did before you leave the cycle of reincarnation.

Fascinating question!

I won't mention my surname but it is derived from the Latin word for truth. Yehuda Halevi spent his life in a quest for truth. And that quest led to his untimely death.

I have outlived him by many years. But my entire life has been one continuous quest for knowledge and truth. Over these many years, there have been numerous times in which I mentally see myself travelling over extended distances throughout the Mediterranean areas and Central Asia. And you are correct in that these scenes take place over many time spans.

While I mostly read American history nowadays, my other main historical interest is Sephardic Spain. Halevi was a Sefardi and his bio is quite interesting.

Truth kills? hmmmm Perhaps immortality is in fiction, then. lol
