Do people have a past life? Your past life and purpose in your present life

Do you believe in the existence of past incarnations? Or do you think that these are idle inventions of exalted “schizoterics” and a waste of time?

There are several different answers to this question. It all depends on your picture of the world. And you can choose any one.

Past lives exist

A huge number of people on our planet believe in this. Mainly adherents of Buddhism and Hinduism, but not only. Eat research papers, confirming that people remember themselves as different personalities and know many details that cannot be accessible to outsiders.

By accepting this concept, we can use this tool to solve issues in our present life- remove fears and phobias, find the causes of current problems, remember the skills, talents and abilities that you had in past incarnations. The world is becoming much wider than usual and much more interesting.

The soul lives all lives at the same time

According to another version, there are no “past” lives. Everything happens at once. Since time is an aspect that exists only within the framework of our physical time, there is no time beyond it.

According to this version, the Lord, the Absolute, the Universal Mind - whatever it is called - lives many realities simultaneously in all multidimensional spaces of this Universe.

This hypothesis can be illustrated by the phenomenon Billy Milligan- one of the most famous people with a diagnosis of “multiple personality” in the history of psychiatry. Milligan's personality splits totaled 24 full-fledged personalities, of which 10 were primary. While performing these actions, Billy claimed that it was not him, but one of his “tenants.”

It turns out that when a person remembers himself as a different person, it is as if he is “spying” on what is happening somewhere at the same moment. And it doesn’t matter what historical period it is, past or future.

This version is consistent with the perception of the World, when “I am everything, and everything is I,” and everything that surrounds us is just a reflection of ourselves. But in this case we have to take responsibility for everything that happens to us. And in order to change something in your life, you need to change yourself.

Collective unconscious

Famous founder of analytical psychology Carl Gustav Jung introduced such a concept as the collective unconscious - a kind of information-energy field where all the experiences experienced by all living things in our Universe are collected and stored. In the mystical tradition it is called Akashic Records.

When a person enters an altered state of consciousness, a “connection” to this field occurs and from there one can “download and unpack” absolutely any information about any creature, person or other forms of life or consciousness.

Stanislav Grof, a Czech psychiatrist, described his experiences under the influence of LSD. He quite clearly felt like a tree, felt all the internal processes occurring inside and outside, how the sun warmed him and resin flowed along the bark.

A similar effect can be achieved different ways— holotropic breathing, hypnosis, deep meditation, etc.

But there is such a moment that our consciousness can perceive such experiments as a danger and either deny it or try to explain, name, define what is happening, trying to fit it into the framework of the usual worldview. This may distort the information received.

Past lives are fantasies

Those who live in an exclusively atheistic-materialistic picture of the world argue that what is happening is only a figment of human imagination, fantasy.

This point of view also has a right to exist. But this does not mean that this practice is completely useless. It can be classified as emotional-imaginative therapy.

This is a direction of psychotherapy created and developed by a Russian psychotherapist Nikolai Dmitrievich Linde and allowing you to really solve, and not just understand the problem stated by a person. And if it really helps people, then does it matter whether it is true or fantasy?

So, you can choose any of the presented explanations of what “past lives” are. After all, we are all different, and this is what makes life so interesting. The main thing is that we have the opportunity to use such a wonderful tool for the benefit of ourselves and our loved ones, to make our lives and this world even better.

Do you also think that past lives do not exist and that these are all fictions? Or that past lives are entertainment for magicians and sorcerers? Most people think so now. From this article you will learn about 10 myths about past lives. You will see that these misconceptions are already hopelessly outdated, like the Stone Age.

Myth 1. “You only live once!”

“Science cannot provide absolutely reliable arguments against the idea of ​​eternal recurrence.” Albert Einstein

But something has changed since the time of the great Einstein - scientists found evidence of the existence of reincarnation.

Scientist Ian Stevenson(Ian Stevenson), a doctor of medicine from the USA, has devoted 40 years to collecting evidence of the existence of past lives. He investigated the stories of children in Asia, who told who, where and when they incarnated before. Then he double-checked these stories and found confirmation in real life- those people and circumstances that the children talked about as about their past life actually existed.

Why children's stories? Because in oriental culture It is not customary to tell children that past lives do not exist, and therefore they talk about it freely.

Another scientist is a doctor of psychology, Michael Newton(Michael Newton) - also proved that past lives exist. He used hypnosis in his work and his patients told remarkably similar stories about their past lives and the space between lives. The lives themselves were, of course, different. But all these were the stories of ordinary people, not kings or “Napoleons”. Patients described the space between lives in remarkably similar ways.

If you are interested in the work of Michael Newton, you can read his books “The Journey of the Soul” or “The Purpose of the Soul.”

Myth 2. “The memory of past lives is closed to us from birth - which means we don’t need it”

Osho argued that there is meaning in looking at one’s past lives only when a person has “grown up” to it. There is no point in watching them out of idle interest. Past lives can indeed tell a lot, but... not all people are ready to understand this. This is the opinion of the great sage.

Therefore, it is correct that past lives are closed from us from birth, Osho argued.

But seeing past lives you can learn.

When a person is born, he does not know how to do many things. We didn’t know how to walk either, but we learned? Viewing past lives – it's the same skill, like the rest, like brushing your teeth.

Moreover, in our culture this is not “accepted”. But in Eastern culture it is in the order of things to talk about your past lives; you will not surprise anyone with such stories. Therefore, children freely talk about it.

Scientists claim that children under 5 years old still remember their past lives, but the memory of them is then closed if the child has realized that he is “not convenient” for those around him with his stories about past lives.

Myth 3. “First you need to deal with your current life, and then only look at past lives.”

Actually through viewing past lives all deadlock situations can be resolved current life is much faster - to find the causes of illnesses, difficult relationships, financial difficulties, dissatisfaction, negative emotions, phobias or inexplicable addictions.

Lies in past lives the key to understanding what is happening to you now in current life. Through viewing past lives, this is much easier and faster than through childhood memories, or analysis and comparison of situations within the framework of the current life alone.

In childhood, we only “remember” our accumulated experience, and we acquire it in past lives.

On we are looking that first incarnation where the problem was formed, where she first appeared. Through understanding the causes and circumstances, rethinking occurs and the problem goes away, this problem goes away. Because the problem exists until the person lets go, thanks, or changes. And what needs to be changed in yourself - the answer is in a past life!

But until a person sees the reasons, he is in his “blind spot” and does not see a way out of the impasse.

Myth 4. “Past lives can only be seen under hypnosis”

This is outdated information. Now past lives can be seen and in a state of light trance (alpha brain state) and full concentration of your attention within yourself.

Every person experiences a state of light trance at least twice a day – in the evening when falling asleep and in the morning after waking up. This is a transitional state of consciousness between sleep and wakefulness.

We also experience this state when we concentrate our attention within ourselves on thinking about some problem/task/solution. In this moment external world ceases to exist for us and we seem to “dive” inside ourselves.

Myth 5. “Past lives are entertainment only for magicians and sorcerers”

Previously past lives were closed secret knowledge, which were owned only by a select few. This knowledge was strictly guarded.

Now this is knowledge available to all people I would like to know this.

HOW you will remember your past life - seeing pictures, hearing sounds, smells or through tactile sensations of the body - depends on your active channels of perception. Therefore, do not expect that it will be like in the cinema, most likely it will be somehow different. But you will relive it again, and this is an even greater effect than in the cinema!

The good news is also that anyone can learn to remember past lives themselves, the presence of a specialist who guides through memories is not always necessary.

But if you want to solve some confusing situation that you have been trying to solve for several years, or the problem has appeared recently, but the emotion is so strong that you can neither sleep nor eat, then it is better to contact a past life specialist. If in this case you go into a past life yourself, you can most likely only worsen the situation - because a person with problems is at low energies.

Myth 6. “Past lives are a storehouse of problems, there is no joy there”

This is wrong. You can also see your talents too, and yours happy lives Same.

Agree that it’s always great to know what did you do well, especially if you've been doing this all your life and have become an expert at it! How do you like the idea of ​​reliving the state in which you were successful then? After all, you will thereby bring this state into your current life.

What is better – to learn this from someone in training or to remember MINE own experience and relive it, remembering all the smallest details of your success?

Past lives also store positive experiences - when a person was successful, happy, joyful. How were you able to achieve your goals? How did it all work out for you?

What was your internal state at this time? After all, it is internal state of success ensures this very success in life. All this can be relived by viewing past lives. This means bringing it into your current life.

Myth 7. “I’ll see something there that will scare me”

This has never happened to me in practice. This can be explained by the fact that our subconscious protects us. It will never give you information that scares you, that you cannot understand, or that you are not yet ready for.

For me personally, those things that could scare me or would be unpleasant, I simply did not understand when viewing my past life. I understood them much later, several years later, when I was mentally prepared for such information.

Myth 8. “I’m afraid to see “evil spirits”

Many thinkers argue that there is neither good nor bad in the universe. The division into good and bad was invented by people. Therefore, “evil” spirits do not exist.

But there are certain laws according to which the Universe is structured. And one of them is Like attracts like.

Here The mood and state in which you start viewing your past life are important. If you are in a bad mood, or are attached to a specific outcome, feel fear, or other negative emotions– then you are at low energies. If in such a state you want to communicate with Spiritual Guides, then you will attract the same low-vibration entities that match your frequency, and they will give you answers to your questions.

But every person there are invisible helpers- mentors, teachers who help us and give their help only when a person turns to them. And they can’t wait for you to contact them. Therefore, if you tune in to meet your teachers and mentors, you will see them.

Thus, what you tune in to is what you will communicate with.

Myth 9. “My problem cannot be solved with the help of past lives”

All problems can be solved by viewing past lives:

• when you want something, but the desire is not realized
• difficulties in relationships with other people
• diseases of the physical body
• fears, phobias, bad habits
• find out your purpose and soul plan

Myth 10. “There is no practical benefit in viewing past lives”

There are definitely benefits. You will eliminate problems in your life. Or you will understand why you cannot achieve a goal and you will be able to eliminate your internal barriers to this goal.

The life we ​​are now living in our bodies is far from the only one in the series of our incarnations, and there is a large trail of previous incarnations behind it. And many people, convinced that reincarnation exists, would like to remember who they were in their past life.

Some out of idle curiosity, and others understanding the depth and importance of gaining this experience.
So how do you remember past lives?

1. Sleep

In order to remember your past life in a dream, some preliminary preparation is necessary. Namely, you need to learn to remember your dreams well. Otherwise, you may see your past life in a dream, but what is the use of this if in the morning you cannot remember anything?
Each of us sees dreams, several times a night, but usually all the information about our dreams quickly disappears, and by lunchtime there is no trace left of them. To prevent this from happening, you need to keep a Dream Diary.
Before you go to bed, you need to give yourself a clear instruction that when you wake up, you will remember your dream. You can repeat this phrase several times, or to be sure, you can also write it on paper several times so that it is firmly embedded in your memory.
And when you wake up in the morning, lie in bed for some time without moving, trying to scroll through your memory everything that you just dreamed about and immediately write down the dream in your Dream Diary.
You will need two weeks of such training and then you can try to dream about your past incarnations. In the same way, before going to bed, set yourself the mindset that today you will see a dream about your past life and go to bed.
The next morning, do not try to analyze it, it is important to simply write down the message of your dream down to the smallest detail. You may even need a few nights to regain the overall picture of who you were in your past life.

2. Lucid dreaming

This method is suitable for those who practice out-of-body experiences or lucid dreams (we can call them by the general term - Phase). There are many ways to enter the Phase state. You can use the method that is most familiar and easy for you.
After you find yourself in the Phase, you can imagine a door in front of you (as a normal way of moving yourself in space), behind which is your past life. And then just go into it.
The main thing is to simply accept that what you see behind this door will be an episode of your life. It can be anything. Some obvious things (for example, a sword fight at a knight's tournament), and something incomprehensible, abstract (for example, a white spot).
However, if you look closely, you can see that this white spot has some outlines. As you delve deeper into this memory, you will realize that this white spot, for example, is a horse. And suddenly remember that this is your favorite horse, and at the same time you yourself are an English nobleman late XIX century. There is no need to try to analyze and doubt. Just look at the images that come to you. When you have examined this episode enough, you can move to another and explore this life further.

3. Crystal ball

However, if you don’t have a crystal ball lying around, an ordinary glass of water will do just fine for your purposes. The only difference here is that there will not be that aura of mystery and mysticism that when working with a ball. So, take a glass (it should be a simple round one, without a pattern) and fill it with water.
Then place it somewhere 70 cm from you, sit comfortably and start looking at the glass. The task here is to relax your body, if possible, free your mind from unnecessary thoughts and concentrate on the desire to see your past life.
After a few minutes, you will notice that the water in the glass will become cloudy, and a little later it will acquire a pale blue color. Continue to fix your attention on the glass and your desire. The main thing is that your mind remains calm and relaxed.
After some time, pictures of the past will begin to appear before your inner gaze and some realizations will come.

4. Mirror

This method is very similar to the previous one, where a glass of water was used. Here you need to take a mirror and position it relative to yourself so that you cannot see your reflection, but only the reflection of the wall. It is advisable to darken the room a little.
Sit comfortably, take a few breaths, relax your body and mind, and begin to peer at the mirror surface. Very soon you will see a light cloud of fog in the central part. Keep watching him and soon the memories will begin to come.
You can see your past life directly in the mirror, or in front of your inner screen, just be aware of it. We are all different and memories come to us in different ways.

5. Clock

You need to lie down and relax to the sound of a clock ticking next to you. For this purpose, you can simply watch your breathing a little. When you have relaxed your body enough, direct your attention to the events of your past, where you also heard the ticking of a clock.
After observing this episode for a while, then move your attention to another event where the clock was also present and consider it. After looking through several episodes of your life, wish to see your past life, where you heard the ticking of a clock. And just watch the sensations and images that come to you.

6. Abilities and talents

Remember all the abilities and talents that you possess. And choose one among them that you will now look for in your past life. Once you have decided, sit back, close your eyes and begin to remember.
Remember what this ability is, how exactly it manifests itself in you, remember all the times when you were praised for this talent and you felt proud. Observe the episodes that pop up in your memory. And when you carefully examine one of them, you can try to remember an even earlier episode associated with your talent, and an even earlier one...
You will be surprised what different and perhaps even forgotten memories will come to you, and upon careful examination they will acquire more and more details. And when you look at the earliest events, try to remember how this talent of yours manifested itself in your past life.
Take your time, just while in meditation let these memories come. You may not succeed the first time, but remember that having seen your past life once, you can easily remember your other past incarnations!
I hope that the methods presented here will help you remember your past lives and find a new you. Good luck to you on your Path!

Do past lives exist?

With the advent of Buddhism in the Western world, everything more people begin to believe in reincarnation. For many, it is her postulates that make it possible to explain their life, the main tasks that she sets for them, and also make it easier to cope with the loss of loved ones. The theory of reincarnation explains the immortality of the soul and allows us to see justice in the fact that some people live well and others live poorly.

Although modern science avoided this topic for quite a long time, dismissing people’s questions with only meaningful silence and ambiguous grins, a huge number of cases that document the possibility of reincarnation forced scientists to take up the study of this issue.

The memory of previous incarnations is inaccessible to many people, however, cases are described when the soul “remembers” a past incarnation. Then images and facts from past lives emerge in memory, people begin to speak in unfamiliar languages ​​and show knowledge that they could not obtain in any other way.
Remember all

Ian Stevenson, an English scientist, devoted 25 years to researching the problem of reincarnation. Over the years, he collected 1000 biographies that confirm the possibility of reincarnation. He was able to record and verify the authenticity of a large number of stories confirming the incarnation of the soul in a new body. Just one of them is given here.

One day, Stevenson was informed that in a small Lebanese village there lived a child who was able to talk about his past incarnations. The professor went there himself to hear these stories in person. A five-year-old boy said that in a past life he lived in the village of Khirbi and that one of his relatives was hit by a truck and his legs were crushed, from which he died. The child described his house and recognized a neighbor who accidentally came into the village where this boy lived. Thirty kilometers from this settlement there really is the village of Khirbi, there really was a young man who lived there twenty years ago in the house described by the boy. Information about a cousin who was hit by a truck and died was also confirmed. And the man whom the boy recognized actually lives next door to the house where this boy lived in a previous incarnation.

In Brazil, scientists from the Institute of Biophysical and Psychical Research studied the story of a woman who knew that her past life took place in France. The woman remembered her name, appearance and the name of her mother. She learned quite easily French, and birthmarks were found on her body, shaped like bullet holes. The woman hates the Germans because, according to her, one of the German soldiers shot her during the occupation.
Newton's Karmic Law

Despite the large number of supporting facts, many people are distrustful of the possibility of reincarnation, and the memory of past incarnations, in their opinion, can quite easily be passed off as mental hallucinations. Although there are many questions about such “materialistic” theories, no one tries to answer them.

Since for Buddhists and Hindus reincarnation is a postulate, they do not try to challenge the basic karmic law, which is very similar to Newton’s law number three, which states that the force of action is equal to the force of the reaction. In other words, whatever actions you performed in your past life, this is how your present life will treat you. If the past life consisted of continuous unseemly actions, then the soul will have to work out each of them in this incarnation, otherwise karmic debt will pass to the next incarnation. If a person dedicated his past life personal development, then in this incarnation he will enjoy the fruits of his righteousness. Reincarnation theory explains human life as the next stage of development in the evolution of the soul, which strives for perfection.
"Case History" of a Woman Who Remembers Her Past Incarnation

An American magazine published by the Psychiatric Association described the story of a housewife from Connecticut who every night returned to her past, where she worked as a teacher. The woman talked about the difficult living conditions of the teacher, about her illness, the symptom of which was a constant cough, and also about the children who, despite the bad weather, walked several kilometers along country roads to master numeracy and literacy. Their parents could only pay small pennies, which was barely enough for the teacher to buy meager food. The woman really wanted to get rid of her visions, but no strong medications could help her. She told details from the life of the American president at that time and about the events of the banking crisis that broke out in 1873. The presence of a large number of uninvented details forced the doctors to take the woman’s stories seriously and check some data about the city in which this woman lived in her previous incarnation. Imagine the surprise when it was confirmed that there was a teacher in the specified city at the specified time, bearing the name given by the housewife. The teacher actually suffered from tuberculosis, from which she died. A foundation was found in the place described by the American woman former home teacher, and in the park they found an old oak tree with a monogram made on the bark by one of the students more than a century ago.
Reluctant actor

There is a woman in the UK who can transform from a carefree child into a raging alcoholic in a minute. According to the woman herself and her family, which consists of a husband and three children, more than a hundred different personalities coexist within her, replacing each other without any warning.

Among them there is a young, cheerful woman, a teenager full of internal problems, a drunkard who loves strong words, and a suicidal woman named Alice.

The husband, who knew about the oddities of his future wife even before the wedding, tries in every possible way to help her cope with this or that personality. He established good friendships with most of them. The woman tries to minimize the troubles that her personalities cause her beloved husband and children, so at the first sign of the appearance of dangerous personalities, she isolates herself in the room. The children have long come to terms with their mother’s oddities.

And although modern science has not expressed its attitude to the theory of reincarnation, many of us have experienced strange sensations of previously experienced events, emotions and sensations. Maybe these are precisely the attempts of our subconscious to reveal to us the secret of past incarnations?

Around past lives and past experience a person faces a fair amount of “fog”. Having met almost any person on the street and asked him the question: “Do you believe in past lives?” or “Have you lived before this life?” We'll either get a stupid laugh or they'll look at us like we're crazy.

In society it is believed that past lives no, that a person lives one life, and when he has “outlived his usefulness,” his body is placed in a wooden box (coffin) and buried.

Not very encouraging... to live 60-80 years and be completely forgotten....

Let's see what Ron Hubbard says about this:

"Where did you come from? Have you lived before?
There is evidence that they lived.
Belief in past lives has been suppressed at times, especially by those circles that were interested in seeing what they did or who they were be forgotten. However, despite skepticism, the belief that a person does not actually die, but is reincarnated and lives again in another body, is one of the oldest and most persistent religious beliefs in human history.
Reincarnation means the insertion of a soul into a new body after the death of the previous body. This word comes from Latin and literally means "taking on the flesh again." This definition has been distorted and complicated over time, but the real and correct meaning of the word is simply “to take on a new body.”
From ancient Egyptian to the modern Buddhist, from the classical Greek philosopher to the modern religious scientist, the belief in the immortality of the soul has stood the test of time.
In the Roman Catholic Church, the belief in reincarnation was fundamental until 553 AD, when a group of Catholic Church officials decided that this belief should not exist. They held a meeting without the Pope and issued decrees that resulted in all references to reincarnation being removed from the Bible. From this time on - although many Christian scientists and teachers remained convinced that the soul lives on in a new body after death - the belief in past lives was officially rejected by the Christian religion.
The strange idea that man lives only once is also propagated by mainstream psychiatric theories, which teach that "man is nothing more than an animal." But despite all the opposition, the fundamental knowledge that man has lived before and will live again has survived for centuries.
In 1950, L. Ron Hubbard, the famous writer and philosopher, made an incredible breakthrough that opened the door to the possibility of truly remembering past lives. Through his exploration of the mind and the human spirit, he discovered that many of the problems and illnesses that people currently suffer from stem from painful experiences in the past, and developed precise methods by which a person can successfully recall such experiences and correct them. Many people have used these methods to improve the state of their own lives, and in the process of using them, past lives soon manifested.
Continuing his research, L. Ron Hubbard discovered that if past life experiences were not corrected or recognized as genuine - to the same extent as a person's present life experiences - then the person did not recover. And when people were actually allowed to remember their past lives, full knowledge of them led not only to miraculous healings, but also to a remarkable improvement in the spiritual state of the person.
As a result of L. Ron Hubbard's breakthrough in the field of past life recall, it is now common and popular to have knowledge of one's past lives. Through remembering past life experiences, more and more data about human existence is revealed."

Going through Scientology methods, a person revises his experience, analyzes, sorts out each data “on the shelves” in order to easily use them. But sooner or later, having reviewed the experience of this life, a person begins to remember situations that did not exist in this life. You can say that this is fiction...

Then why, after these incidents, do illnesses go away, problems are solved, and the general condition improves?

[Book: “Have You Lived Before This Life” – L. Ron Hubbard]

Evidence and cases of memory of past lives

Why do we consider the phenomenon of people who do not remember or have a tendency to forget as not normal? Is your condition normal? Or maybe the state of memory many hundreds, thousands, millions of years ago was normal?

There is more than one evidence that man lived before.

“One of them was when a little five-year-old girl, timid in church, told her priest that she was very worried about her “husband and children.” It seems that she could not forget them after she died five years ago in past life.
The priest did not immediately call the guys in white coats. Instead, he questioned the girl in detail, who was truly alarmed.
She told him that she lived in a nearby village and gave him her former name. She described where her old body was buried, gave him the address of her husband and children, all their names, and asked him to go there and find out if everything was all right with them.
The priest went there. To his great amazement, he found the grave, his husband, and children, and learned all the latest news.
The following Sunday, he told the five-year-old girl that everything was fine with the children, that her husband had remarried successfully, and that the grave was being well looked after.
She was very pleased and warmly thanked the priest - and the next Sunday she could no longer remember anything about it!
People were also animals, and perhaps some animals were people. There does not appear to be a scale of gradual progress as in reincarnation theories, but there have been cases of preclears [people undergoing Scientology procedures] who have improved after their past life as a dog or other animal has been erased by an auditor.
In one such case, a psychotic girl recovered when her life in which she was a lion who ate her keeper was completely erased!
We also know dogs and horses that are "smart as humans." Maybe in a previous life they were simply generals or ministers of state - and they took it easy to heal their ulcers for one or two lives!
Looking at children in the light of knowledge of past lives forces us to reconsider our opinions about the reasons for their behavior.
It is clear that the newborn has just died as an adult. Therefore, for several years the child is prone to fantasy and fearfulness and needs a lot of love and security in order to restore that perspective of life with which he can live."

[Book: “Have You Lived Before This Life” – L. Ron Hubbard]

“Sit in your mommy’s arms, close your eyes and tell me what you see when you hear those loud noises that scare you so much,” Norman told Chase gently.
I looked at Chase's freckled face. Nothing could have prepared me for what I soon heard.
Little Chase immediately began to describe himself as a soldier—a grown soldier who carried a gun: “I'm standing behind a rock. I have in my hands a long gun with something like a sword at the end.” My heart was beating out of my chest and the hairs on my arms stood on end. Sarah and I looked at each other with wide eyes in surprise.
"What are you wearing?" – Norman asked.
“I’m wearing dirty, torn clothes, brown boots, a belt. I hide behind a rock, kneeling down and shooting at enemies. I'm at the edge of the valley. The battle is all around."
I listened to Chase, wondering what he had to say about the war. He was never interested in "military" toys and didn't even own a toy gun."

[Book: "Children's Past Lives" - Carol Bowman]

Someone will say: “Why should I remember past lives? I feel good enough!” The fact is that this person does not understand that in past lives he could have had many abilities that were forgotten and now he does not remember. And now he has to learn something “new” again for decades, although he knew how to do it before. For example - walking, talking, reading, driving a car, etc.

Imagine that you forgot how to put a sock on your foot, they showed you how to do it, then the next day you forgot again, they showed you again, you forgot again... doesn’t this seem a little strange?

A person in good mental shape must remember his experiences in order to be effective in life!

Talent and innate abilities

It happens that someone has an innate talent in childhood, one child, for example, is very sociable and can come to an agreement with anyone, moreover, most of his friends are adults...

Another is well versed in computer programs and easily grabs this one, “as if he knew them before.”

In my opinion, talent, which in society is considered to be something innate, or transmitted through genes, is nothing more than the experience of past lives and a person received this early and now knows how to do it. For example, he communicated with people for several lifetimes, worked in jobs where he had to communicate, and now he has an “innate” ability.

Henry Ford was a staunch supporter of reincarnation. In particular, he believed that in his last incarnation he died as a soldier at the Battle of Gettysburg. Ford describes his beliefs in the following quote from the August 26, 1928 San Francisco Examiner:

“I accepted the theory of reincarnation when I was twenty-six years old. Religion did not give me an explanation for this phenomenon, and work did not bring complete satisfaction. Work has no meaning if the experience accumulated in one life cannot be used in another. When I discovered reincarnation, it was like discovering a universal plan - I realized that now there was a real chance of realizing my ideas. I was no longer limited by time, I was no longer a slave to it. Genius is experience. Some seem to believe that It is a gift or talent, but in fact it is the fruit of experience accumulated over many lives. Some souls are older than others and therefore know more. Discovering the concept of reincarnation calmed my mind. If you are recording this conversation, write that it helps calm the mind. I I would really like to share with everyone the peace that such a vision of life brings."

Reincarnation

"Transmigration of souls, reincarnation (lat. reincarnation "re-incarnation") - a group of religious and philosophical doctrines, according to which the immortal essence of a living being (in some variations - only people) is reincarnated again and again from one body to another. This immortal essence in various traditions is called spirit or soul, "divine spark", "higher" or "true self"; in each life a new personality of the individual develops in physical world, but at the same time a certain part of the individual’s “I” remains unchanged, passing from body to body in a series of reincarnations. In a number of traditions, there are ideas that the chain of reincarnations has a certain purpose and the soul undergoes evolution in it. "

Entire religions believe in the theory of reincarnation. For example, among the Indians, Chinese, and Japanese, this is considered a self-evident phenomenon. Western man believes in one single life and other lives are not available to him.

If you watch Indian films, you can easily see this.

Why might past lives be inaccessible to memory?

• The experience is too difficult to comprehend

Have you ever encountered such a phenomenon when a person experiences a strong shock or painful shock, then a certain period after the incident (an hour, a day, a month, or maybe several years) is not available in memory, emptiness or blackness?

An example: Our neighbor’s son died, and she doesn’t remember who came to the funeral.

Such an experience is too difficult to perceive and a person is not able to transfer and perceive it normally; it is beyond his ability and the experience is blocked by mental barriers. So it is with past lives. Who knows, maybe you were killed in a past life... or maybe you were tortured... and now it is not accessible to perception and “it doesn’t exist.”

• Own misdeeds

One of the reasons for the loss of memory of the past is misconduct. A wrongdoing is a destructive action or omission that you have committed but would not like to experience yourself. For example, for the sake of his own profit, a drug dealer sells a drug, do not think about the harmful consequences for the person who buys and takes it.

You might say, “So what difference does it make if no one notices?”

The fact is that a person is basically good and a harmful action “hangs” a negative charge in his mind. And a person prefers not to remember the incident than to see how bad and destructive it was.

Reincarnation in fiction

In Richard Bach's novel Jonathan Livingston Seagull main character, Jonathan the seagull, “that bright light that burns inside each of us,” goes through a series of reincarnations, sometimes lifting him from earth to heaven, sometimes returning him to earth so that he can enlighten the less fortunate seagulls. One of Jonathan's mentors asks: “Do you have any idea how many lives we had to live to even come to the understanding that there is more to life than food, fighting or power over the Pack? Thousands of lives, John, tens of thousands! - And after them there were hundreds more lives before we learned that there is what is called perfection; and another hundred lives to understand that the purpose of our existence is to understand this perfection and manifest it.”

Jack London's novel Before Adam uses reincarnation as a means of telling stories about the distant past. The hero, a modern boy, has dreams in which episodes from the life of his prehistoric ancestor, an ape, emerge, including the emotions that the ancestor experienced. The hero of his novel “Straitjacket” (in other translations - “Interstellar Wanderer”), or rather his spirit, acquires the ability to make fascinating journeys in time and space, being confined to a prison cell. The reader passes through a series of previous incarnations of the hero: a cavalier of medieval France, one of Pontius Pilate’s warriors, the son of an American farmer and many others.

Honore de Balzac dedicated his novel Seraphita to the theme of reincarnation. In it, Balzac states: “All human beings pass through a previous life... Who knows how many bodily forms the heir of paradise occupies before he is led to understand the value of solitary silence, the starry expanses of which are just the threshold of the spiritual worlds.” In David Copperfield, Charles Dickens describes memories of past lives. “We have all experienced from time to time the feeling that what we say and do has already been said and done in some distant past; the feeling that in some distant time, almost erased from memory, we were surrounded by the same faces, objects and circumstances..."

Bottom line

There is nothing terrible in past lives - it is an adventure. It's like watching a movie on TV, only the main character is you, and a video of that incident is connected to your sensory channels and emotions and you live it all over again (when you undergo Scientology auditing (training)).

Yes, other people tend to devalue your memories and say “it didn’t happen” or “it was just a fantasy.” In this way they protect themselves from their “past baggage”. It’s a little easier for them to fence themselves off and sit in a dark room.

Therefore, tell trusted friends about your past lives.

And don't deny past experience! I believe that it is accessible to many people, it is worth looking there. Don’t tell yourself “I imagined something, or it didn’t seem right...”. just look and a whole interesting situation may seem
