Can a person visit past lives via Astral traveling?

[truth4me]

The reason I ask is becauce I have had 3 different experiences when astral traveling where it seemed I went back in time. I'll keep the stories brief...


I was riding in the back seat of a car and we were going down the interstate somewhere and I was a young boy. As we were driving we passed a Mobil oil sign with the red flying horse on it. Then a blue station wagon pulled up beside us on the right. It looked like it was from the 50's and these kids in back were waving at us.


Another time I found myself in a hospital and I looked down and I had white pants and black shoes on.I haven't owned a pair or wore any white pants since I was 15 some 37 years ago. The hospital looked old compared to todays standard.


Another one was were I was going through this neighbourhood actually through the back yards and came upon this older women who dressed in clothes from the 50's and see had an apron on. She was hanging up clothes on a clothes line. She turned around and waved at me.....


Now I know what a lucid dream is but when I astral travel I'm there in living color and I realize I'm there.

The question again is can a person visit past lives via astral traveling?

Sure, why not. Anything is possible. I've had several instances of seeing and being in another earth dimension. A few times it seemed like a "past life" I lived and other times I was just watching something from a possible earth past. It's hard to know if these are past lives or parallel dimensions or seeing a residual energy of something that happened in a particular place....like an energetic recording. I tend to think these realities are all existing at once. What feels like a past life may be existing concurrently with your present life and is not linear, as many people think.

One time I was with a friend in an Anasazi cave we had climbed up a ladder to get to. As we sat on the edge of the cave all of a sudden we felt like we were falling, so we held hands. Once we stabilized there were several Anasazi behind us in the cave, doing some kind of ceremony and chanting. They didn't see us but we saw and heard them. We were in this state for at least 15-20 minutes or longer. Time actually is difficult to feel at that point. Then we "fell" back into our normal dimension and were pretty dizzy and blown away with the fun of it all. LOL...

Another time I was standing on top of a Mayan pyramid in Southern Mexico and I bilocated, becoming a priestess from that culture while still aware of my body standing there and overlooking the jungle. At another ancient ruin I was walking on a Mayan game court and had to hold onto my sister because I found myself in the middle of a game with many Mayans all around. There have been many other instances, one where I saw through a rift torn through the veil between my normal dimension and another dimension and watched a group of monks chanting for several hours. A friend was with me at that time and we both saw and heard the same things. We couldn't get out of that one for a while since we had used some kind of machine which caused us to see into this dimension. It didn't wear off for a few hours and was VERY uncomfortable.

So these other dimensions, times and possible past/concurrent lives exist. Sometimes we can see or pass into them. It's quite a trip! I don't consider these occurrences to be astral travel as they are all involving, at least for me, the earth dimensions. When I astral travel it's way beyond the earth dimension and doesn't involve any earthly occurrences or lives. But that's just my experiences and it may be very different for others.

Not only past lives, but future lives too! Although, we could be visiting lives that never happen, or events that are put-off by changes in time-lines! Doesn't this screw with one's mind!!

I reviewed many past lives through hypnosis. The process was informative in helping me understand a lot, BUT understanding does not take away any experiences and people in our lives and does not give us any magic solution that dissolves away karma/patterns. Such information does not even give us the means to overcome the baggage that we carry from past lives. It simply gives us a history.

Whatever means we use to access past lives, and the consequences of those, all that such exploration can give us is information. Sucxh explorations give us no guidance or tools to deal with and change that history. We are simply given access to more awareness.

If you are accessing such awareness, by any means, then you have simply chosen to live with increased awareness.

I have not accessed past, present or future lives through conscious awake astral travelling, but I have done so through other ways. Whatever the means are, they are authentic and real, but what we do with the information that we acquire is another story ...

Go well and take care

PS See what NancyV says in her post and maybe you can start to understand the complexity of this level of awareness!

You could be very well right about it being different earth dimensions. I have also traveled through space a number of times and one was where I watched a planet,moon?, pass in front of a/ the sun being an eclipse. Early this morning I went astral traveling/different earth dimensions and was standing in front of a large red brick wall.I walked up to it and could see the grainy red material in it then all of a sudden I was moving past a bunch of houses with trees all around.I kept saying to myself " stay here as long as possible and soak the whole experience in". This is what prompt me to start this thread.......

ANYTHING, is possible!

[WhiteFeather]

Your Consciousness is Past Present and Future, also in death you have a consciousness. So it is possible.

[Kindred]

Time does not exist - it's an illusion of this 3D dimension ( and others that we aren't aware of - at present). When in our astral body, or when in 'higher realms', ALL 'Times' are present.. it's all about what we Focus on, that brings anything into our Consciousness.

Whitefeather had made me aware of the Seth Says material... (Thanks Again WF!) I see it as a wonderfully complete 'guide to Consciousness'... but, even it cannot relate the Infinity of Existence to we who are so ensconced in this current reality paradigm.

That item, as well as Thiaoouba Prophecy, has some great examples of that which you are inquiring about.

agree,
i think when we born we are born with a certain ignorance,... this ignorance, strengthens our spirits by creating a certain kind of conviction,
which serves us well when we deal with past karmic patterns,
when we slowly become aware of them

it would only have been so from a higher self or very aware self choosing a life path in 'bt lives so to say', cause it is very logical and very intelligent

DCannon material is very good.
infect we can visit various knowledge realms without our explicit awareness.
by astral travelling or dreaming can provide feelings or cognitions which don't come from daily life, and these feelings have summaries of events or event times with should we say a great dynamic history but which is summarized by the feeling in a few seconds

Astral traveling is one way. Another is to place yourself in a level of awareness that fully interpenetrates through time/space (non-linear). Time is more elastic in the astral, but still largely present, whereas the aforementioned "higher" state of awareness is much harder to put into words.

A simple method to start learning such is to imagine your body is hollow and you're in the center of an infinite space that extends in all directions. Once you're able to do that absent any major distractions, pay attention to any perceptions that come in. If you lose your sense of "self" and linear time, you're getting there.
