Memories from past lives

[wnlight]

Some members of PA have reported or implied memories of past lives. I have done some past life research using dowsing so I have not had the pleasure or pain of such memories. So I direct this post to those of you who have had this experience. You may get a laugh from this post, but I am serious.

My most recent prior life was someone who was shot dead while charging the Spanish army in Cuba on horseback. I imagine that hurt, a lot. I know what it feels like to fall off a horse at full gallop. But being shot dead? I have been shot at twice, but never hit. Do your memories of death include the trauma? Another of my past lives was a conscript in the Napoleon's army. He was buried alive in Poland. I cannot be certain, but that may be why I feel squeamish about being in tight spots. I am not sure if I can handle the memory of that death.

Also, what about remembering any really bad things that your past life did to others? Is the guilt overwhelming? Should I ask for my past life memories? Or simply stick to dowsing?

I was also in the Napoleonic campaign. I thought being a soldier would be fun. It was a short and stupid life.

Hey Warren,

Like you I have only dowsed my previous life and unresolved karma's.
Over the last few years I have adopted a slightly different p.o.v regarding the self that is all these life's.

In a nutshell if you can distance yourself from the a past life memory, the same way you would distance yourself from a character in a movie you greatly identify with.
You should be ok.
Remember that the memory happened to someone else even though it feels like your own memories.
The ego/I that governed that life is not you now. Especially with dowsing and partial life memories you have no way of knowing of all the intricate nuances that made your previous life self make the choices it did.

With Love

That's a truly interesting question. I've recalled many past lives, but only the detailed deaths of one of them, which was painless. (Freezing to death on a high mountain.)

It's always seemed possible to me (but I do not know this) that the soul/spirit ejects from the body, rather like a fighter pilot ejecting from his crashing plane, moments before body death or fatal injury.

Your cleansing an purging, a sure good sign of analytics on thyself. Good place to be. WE must all examine ourselves before going before the King for mercy.

[Lifebringer]

All I know is the cold temps are my hell. I can't stand the cold. Perhaps I once froze to death. But It's the bain of my existance Can't get warm enough. Gives me the brrrr's just thinking about it. I have so many candles for oil heat in emergency, I don't care if I have to burn rock. Haha.

I can recommend Paul Williamson - if you are in the UK

Enjoyed my regressions. Bits worth mentioning are that I recalled that in China, if a general loses a battle, he is expected to sacrifice himself in a last charge - not report failure to the emperor.

In Egypt there was much black magic, controlled by Royalty with attendant priesthood. Competition was as much by who had the most powerful magic, as who had the biggest armies, and the 'wars' might be between a brother and sister, who jointly occupied the throne.

The last thing I did with Paul was a 'forward regression'- looking into a future life. I was a future Doctor on an Earth recovering from chaotic events.

Paul is part of a group of Altantian souls. He has compiled the large number of regressions into Atlantian times into an actual history of Atlantis.

Avalon members MR.KNO and kerrielea can do regressions over Skype. I can also do this myself (it's really quite easy: no 'hypnosis' involved), but although I really enjoy doing it and have always had good results, I don't usually have a lot of time.

I saw how i died quite a few times, so it must depend on what we have to get from the lesson in this actual lifetime.

I died in the last world war while on a small boat bringing supplies to people in the forest nearby. I was a woman named Maria, in Southern France or Italy. A plane came by shooting at us (my actual today's sister was with me) and we jump in the water, a bullet reached me anyhow. My sister drowned. This now actual lifetime, I saved her twice from drowning - but she was already very scared of drowning before actually drowning (and me saving her). There were no fear or emotion when I relived that death, just a story that happened in which I was.

This memory occured naturally when I was in my early twenties, the whole shahanigan, the story of war and my little input, dreaming it regularly, week after week, for a year,

One of my actual girlfriend is from that time as well, she was on the other side (a high level Nazi male) but changed when she realised Hitler was crazy. We both recognised each other in this actual life- it feels like she ended up helping me for my deliveries of supplies to people hiding in the forest in the previous life. She has learned her lesson too, this time around she has been put in position to denounce fraud and public funds mismanagement, with great personal risks - she told me "after Hitler, never more, I will expose what I see, my failure to expose what I knew then even by risking my life had milions killed".

One other death I had in another life was being murdered by my husband, wondering why he would kill me. I remained with my question up to this actual lifetime. It was resolved about 2 years ago with a new boyfriend who ended up being schizophrenic (stop taking his med and I realised he was hallucinating, I did not know he was sick until he stopped taking his med). I understood then that he was helpless in sickness, being sure of the dangers he faced (which were hallucinations). I died by a crazy hallucinating helpless husband in that previous life. This time around, I left him (or a similar male), knowing that I cannot do much in such circumstances (I could not leave in the previous life, women had to stay with their husband unless they want to die of hunger). However, this time around, I had no fear, no anger, no question, just empathy, while getting myself out of the situation.

The most interesting thing, for me, it that when I remember previous death, there is not emotions, just a knowing of the event that is registered. However, the emotional impacts I can see in this lifetime throughout my beliefs or behaviors, which change once I remember the previous endings.

I have experienced previous deaths at least three times: 1) perishing in a car crash with a being who is my daughter in this lifetime -- there was no pain, just a surge of energy (I felt sparkly) 2) An armageddon death, in which all or most of humanity perished -- again, no pain 3) seeing me, as a very old woman, in bed and deceased, though no memory of how I died.

There is the theory regarding a death hormone, which may relieve our pain. Some say our DMT levels increase as we get closer to death too.

From the many regression accounts I've read that record the death scene from a previous life, this if often funnily enough pretty accurate. At least in some cases. One in particular springs to mind of a young woman, who in her previous life in the 1920s was a passenger in a car on the highway, being driven by her reckless and slightly drunk boyfriend. I believe it was on the Pacific coast. The boyfriend lost control on a bend, and the car went over the edge and plummeted into the ocean below. The interesting thing was, the pair of them had quite different experiences of their death.

The boyfriend passed instantly. His spirit left his body while the car was in mid-air - because he knew he was going to die, so there was no need to suffer, and no need to hang around. The girl however, an active and popular socialite who was only about 19, enjoyed life so much that she did not want to let go of it. She experienced the impact completely, and went into the sea still alive, fighting all the way, and only exited her body when she drowned.

Pretty fascinating! It seems from this that the death experience can be different for each individual, depending on the development of the soul, the attachments the soul has, and maybe also lessons the soul needs.

Yes, DMT is a mystery substance. It exists in grass. Produced by the pineal gland 49 days into birth (see tibetan book of the dead about the spirit entering the embryo at 7 weeks gestation). Believed to be produced en masse at moment of death.

Have smoked this substance many times, I can definitely say there is something to it. I have talked to entities a la Terence McKenna.

Please see the pdf of the book "DMT The Spirit Molecule" by Rick Stassman here. http://www.organiclab.narod.ru/books...t-molecule.pdf

He was the first doctor to conduct clinical trials of the substance on patients, a mind bending read full of reptilian encounters, to beautiful other worldly dimensions. A fascinating read.

The regressions I have done have included the 'death scene'. For me it is experience from a fairly detached point so no trauma, but the Regression Practitioner placed emphasis on the time just after death. I think he was evaluating the scenario by looking into the life review process that took place.

Fascinating subject. Unfortunately I don't have any such recollections.
A lot of members here do seem to do have them.

Are there any accounts of past lives as a non human being ?

I have a ton of recalls of lives on other planets, long ago. I've always been pretty much 'human', in anatomy and temperament.

According to many contactees, and also some insiders, there are many human-looking ETs out there who would easily pass for one of us in present-day clothes, on any street.

My strong guess is that as spirits/souls, we have clear established preferences for certain body types — and then stick to what we know, love, and are able to make work pretty well.

[Jantje]

I have a couple more questions if I may...

Does regression always work ?

Are there any concerns about having a regression session ?

[RunningDeer]

I had a past life regression. I discovered I was a young boy who was deaf and unable to speak in the 1860‘s. I lived on a farm with my mother. She worked long hours so there was hardly any communication.

Whether the past life was true or not, I was able to let go of a stammer I had since an early age particularly when I was under stress.

*****

I enrolled in personal development seminar called the “Fischer-Hoffman Process“. One part of it was the birthing process. One incident was I re-experienced my Mom falling down the rickety, cellar stairs while she was pregnant.

At the time, I didn’t have a relationship with my mom to discuss such therapies. Some twenty years later I asked her about the fall. She had forgotten about it, never told anyone and asked how could I have known?

The biggest take away from the seminar was as long as I was willing to go beyond the resistance to the fear or pain, it always brought me to a place of silence like after a cathartic cry. I saw that the fear itself was often greater than the perceived event or feeling.

[Omi]

The one and only time I'd experienced a past life regression, I didn't let it work on me. It was with a friendly man that I'd met at a train station, we started having a conversation and he'd offered me a free past life regression. I was invited to his office where it had a religious cult-like atmosphere with strange big objects placed around the room. I just went with the flow but basically faked it. He'd offered to schedule another session but I said no thanks and just left. So I think it's important to know who you're having the regression session with, and make sure there's no other intentions of black magic behind it when you are delving deeper down into your subconsciousness.

I remembered my most recent past life through nightmares of dying in the way that I died during WW2. I was shot in the back as a 17yr old boy. My current physical body has a birthmark on my back, as if to remember the gun shot.
In a life before that one, I died of influenza as a 60yr old woman. I could recently recall this memory through Carol Clarke's hints in her reading. What's interesting is that in this life time I got the flu at the age when I died 1 lifetime ago, in the way that I died 2 lifetimes ago.

I'd add a bit more to what Bill's mentioned about having preferences for certain body types, that it seems likely that the spirit/ soul tends to stick to the similar type of etheric and astral bodies as in the same way it does of the physical body. What this means is, our spirit/ soul possibly carries on the similar emotional and mental characteristic traits that it has cultivated through past lives.

Being a Hypnotherapist myself all I can say is that you don't feel any pain remembering when you were dying. if your therapist see you in distress during a traumatic event, it's very easy to get you detached from the event and make you to look at it as an observer. Some of my clients have gone straight to future lives or lives in another planets and one of them remembered a life as a cat. However the main lessons or advise you can get is in the dimension between lives, you can talk to yourself in the past or future life, your higher self or guardian angel and get all the wisdom there. Wonderful experience. The most emotional sessions have been when a client wants to see and speak to a deceased loved one and resolve any pending issues. Another use of hypnosis is to go and see something you want to see in another city or country in present time just how Edgar Cayce used to do. We are all connected to the supra conscious or collective mind and we can get information from that.

if anyone is interrested:

I consulted an Irish psychic provided me by German co-workers in the '80s who told me I was in N. Italy ca. 1943 but was not Italian (my last lifetime) and I committed suicide;

my British life's partner for 13 yrs. (we're no longer together but still talk) consulted a psychic decades ago who talked more about me than him and told him I commited suicide in my last 6 very young short lives in Romania (I come from German/Austro-Hungarian/Romanian heritage)-

I have no idea if any of this could be true but a few yrs. ago I did a guided tour of Siebenbürgen/Transylvania in Romania and while in this area felt incredibly at home but at the same time a yearning for ultimate fulfillment;
