Unlock The Secrets Of Your Hidden Past Lives
“30 Days To Past Life Memories”
Lesson 3
‘Past’ Lives or ‘Other’ Lives - Where does it all come from?
Before we can think about where the information comes from, let me first cover the subject of the genuiness of Past Life recall.
Some people believe it is all complete imagination, made up by the wishes of the participant.
Others believe that the Past Life scenario is created by the mind, as a psychological, symbolic representation of the inner thoughts, feelings and issues of the participant.
Others, still, believe that the information is completely genuine and is somehow transmitted to our conscious minds from our unconscious, or other source.
It is very difficult to say for certain which of these is true, and my own expedience seems to suggest that all 3 are possible, depending upon the person concerned and the state of mind before and during the regression experience. Sometimes it does seem like imagination; other times it seems like imagination but with meaning or relevance; and other times it just feels like something downright profound has just happened.
For the purposes of this course and the exercises that will follow, I am just going to focus on the idea of the genuine recall - the idea that we can in fact access information from our ‘Past’ lives.
Where does the information come from?
Again, there are a few different points of view on this, but the common viewpoint seems to suggest that it comes from somewhere inside of us - our ‘unconscious’ (or subconscious), and has always been there all along if only we decided to take a look. This idea is based around the notion that the part of us that survives death takes all the memories and information with us and carries them on into the next life too. However, these memories and experiences remain hidden from our consciousness unless we go looking for them, or they are somehow triggered or set off in some way.
This can explain why we can feel or experience certain things that just don’t seem to make sense to us consciously - we are unconsciously reacting to thoughts and ideas in our unconscious, but feeling the effect in our everyday awareness.
When we undergo Past Life Regression, we can tap into those hidden memories - that information brought forward from the previous lives - and bring it into our conscious mind. This then often helps us understand why we think, feel and act the way we do, and can also helps us break free of old feelings and limiting behaviours.
The information may be stored in our unconscious mind - or perhaps in our genes, genetically encoded - or even in our cells, as cellular memory, or as part of our emotional energy body.
Whichever way we believe the information is stored, this whole idea still works on the premise that it is something from the past brought into the present.
Past Lives or Other Lives?
But there is another way of thinking, which may involve a big stretch of the imagination for some people - but does also explain a lot of the paradoxes that can’t be explained by traditional thinking. This is based around the idea that in reality, there is no such thing as a ‘Past’ Life - only ‘Other’ lives.
Let me explain...
When we talk about Past Life Regression, this presupposes that all Past Lives are in the past. Right?
The traditional view implies that we live a life on earth - then we die and leave our bodies - and at some point later on are reborn again, into a new life, with a new body and whole new set of experiences. Some people believe that we jump straight from the death of one body, immediately to be born into the next with no gaps in between.
Others believe that there is a period of learning, growth and evaluation between lives and that we are only born into the next life when we are ready and when we choose to do so - choosing our parents and circumstances beforehand as well.
This all implies a continuous timeline, with one life following after the next in a nice, orderly manner.
e.g.
Born....Live life 1....Die (gap) Born...live life 2...Die (gap) Born....Life 3....Die...(gap)...Born...life 4...Die... and so on.
Past.................................................................................Present.......................................................Future
If this is the case, then people believe that the experiences and actions we take in one lifetime will have a bearing on the next one. ie if we do something unsavoury in one life, we get the chance to make amends for it somehow in the next - which is why many people turn to Past Life Regression looking for answers to life’s problems “I must have done something bad in a past life”, etc.
Or if there was something you wanted to do or complete in one life, but it was unfinished, you may carry that desire into your next life, which explains unexplainable passions and interests, etc.
We’ll look at Karma, Karmic debt and the influence of one life on another more closely in a later lesson, but for now, can you imagine the possibility that...
...Your next life, after this one, could be two hundred years in the past!?
If that seems impossible to you, it means you are thinking in linear time. But just about every physicist and philosopher agrees that, out side of the space-time continuum, there is no such thing as time.
Which means that when you jump into that gap between lives, time does not exist. Which means those lifetimes simply cannot flow one after the other... they are all existing at the same time.
Which means all of your past lives are still happening... right now.
Which means we may have to think differently about what happens during a past life regression.
To help you understand this better, think of a bicycle wheel with ‘YOU’ - your greater self - at the centre. Travel down one of the spokes, and at the end you could be in your present life, as you are right now. Travel down a different spoke, and you could be going 500 years in the past. Travel down a different spoke and you could be tapping into what is two hundred years in your future.
From the centre of that wheel you could go to any place and any time - depending upon what you next needed or wanted to experience.
In a Past Life Regression, we could be travelling to the centre of that wheel and down another spoke to peek in on one of our other life times. Or that information may be constantly flowing into our current lifetime along the same route, but when we begin a Past Life Regression it’s as if we turn the receiver on to consciously receive it.
If you can begin to think in this way, you will get much more out of your Past Life Regression experiences because you may be able to not only learn from the past - but change it also, if you wish.
The Past Is Open-Ended
Back in lesson 1 I told you about a Past Life Regression I had where I was some sort of knight, battling away for no good reason in the end. Well, about a year before that experience, something else happened that I want to tell you about.
I was doing one of the simple Past Life exercises that I’m going to teach you soon, and I suddenly saw ‘myself’ on a battle field, fighting away in the middle of a huge and bloody skirmish. In my mind I sent a strong, powerful, but very loving thought that it was time to end the struggle. It was time to give up the fight and go home. As I pictured this intently in my mind I saw ‘myself’ lower my weapons and just stop and look around the battlefield, as if suddenly becoming detached from it.
Then it disappeared - and I thought no more about it until one year later when I had the full experience described in the previous lesson. Could it be that it was me, tapping into that lifetime, that sent a message to that misguided knight to ‘wake up’ and stop the fighting? Could it be that one year later in this life, I then experienced the effect of that in a Past Life Regression - which then set me free in this life?
If the past is dead and finished, this cannot be. But if time is open-ended - and so is the past - then this makes perfect sense and can explain many, many occurrences of as psychic or intuitive nature.
As we look into what you can do to help yourself with a Past Life Regression we will be able to make much more use of this idea. But for now just let these ideas sink in and take effect:
The past may be open-ended.
Your past lives may still be occurring right now.
You may be able to use your wisdom from the present, to influence your past, and set yourself free in the future.
On that note, we’ll leave it there for today.
I hope you have pleasant - and interesting - dreams.
Until the next time,
Very best wishes,
