Reincarnation: Memories of Past Lives

[Blake]

For whatever reason, I have had experiences since I was a child - through dreams, visions, and energetic releases, that have allowed memories and glimpses into past lives that I believe I have lived. So I am not saying here that I "believe" in past lives and reincarnation. I am saying that I have personal experience and memories of these things. These weren't experiences that I was actively seeking after through such things as past life regression therapy, but rather they were spontaneous happenings. They are just another experience that I have had and they aren't more important than any other experience that I have had or that you have had, but they are another piece of the puzzle, and they have helped me to gain a certain perspective on Life as a greater Whole.

When I was a child I had a few experiences of recalling during dreams, compressed lifetimes - maybe it was as though the moment of life review that is mentioned in many accounts of near death experiences was relived during those dreams and I would awaken very disoriented as to where I was and who I was for a few minutes. The details of the lifetimes experienced would fade, but the wisdom, the light, love and consciousness developed in them would remain with me.

In college, while I was experiencing binaural beat technology at a mind machine studio in New York City, I had a vivid recollection of myself in another lifetime, and I saw myself clearly in a mirror. There were subtle similarities to the face I saw and to my own in this life, but the eyes were unmistakable. I was wearing a suit of clothing that seemed to be from the late 1800s and I saw myself in my library where I spent much of my time in study and meditation. I recalled memories of meditation where I would connect with my Spiritual Teacher. Upon further investigation of this incarnation, I also recalled the end of this lifetime. I saw how I knew that this was the end of this life and I gathered myself and went into my chamber and, as my teacher had taught me, I went into a special state of samadhi and consciously exited the body.

Another major experience in regards to memories of past lives occurred during a guided meditation that I experienced in 1992 while at a Reiki Master training weekend workshop with Laurie Grant. Laurie guided us through a special meditation for what she called "clearing the light body". At one point in the meditation for me, it was as if the book that held the memories of my past lifetimes suddenly came open - it pages flashing past my eyes in what must have been an instant, but I saw many glimpses of lifetimes and many death experiences and there seemed to be a strong spiritual theme to the whole. I saw myself burned to death at least a few times - once as a witch, and other times as monks of one sort or another. I saw lots of time in monasteries and in secluded and cloistered lives dedicated to the Spirit. I recalled myself as a female priestess in an ancient temple - one of many other young priestesses, and I also saw myself in a lifetime as a prostitute, though it is interesting to note how she was also a spiritual counselor.

Many new things have come to light for me recently that have helped me to understand these things, none so great as the meeting in the flesh with my Spiritual Teacher and Guru - Dattatreya Siva Baba, and receiving his blessing to teach among other things. Just now I am gearing up for a special spiritual pilgrimage to India, where I fully expect to find the keys to many more aspects of my Self. Baba has organized a "9 Nights of the Goddess" event in India, during early October 2008, where we will be immersing ourselves daily in intensive Grace Light sessions and visiting and engaging in ceremonies at various temples to the Goddess. Another special opportunity of the trip will be getting as Nadi Leaf reading done. These leaves were written thousands of years ago and hold the whole story of your lives. It is possible to change your karma, however, and we will be doing special remedies at various energy vortexes (temples) to burst these old karmas and to open up to new spiritual possibilities.

I am sure there will be lots more to share upon my return from this trip to India.

Love and Blessings,

Blake

Blake,

I still have mixed feelings on reincarnation. But i did post this question in another forum, a person who is very expereinced with the urantia book said this...

I have been reading allot about it over the years. Frankly i am getting mixed messages about it. Can someone explain to me if it is real or not. I mean i would like it to be real, because it would be a form of immortality i guess. Even though u get your memories wiped when you incarnate. But i also hate the fact that if you do incarnate, what about your loved ones in the other life you had. What about your son, or your daughter. I have also read that sometimes family groups reincarnate at the same time and that sometimes the father can be the son, and the mother the daughter...its weird, and people say allot.

In the urantia book, and on radio show podcasts of the book, i heard that it is just the thought adjuster that goes from personality (person,soul,new guy/girl) And that it keeps the memories of the previous personality lifes.

quote from the urantia book:

Quote:
PAPER 86 - EARLY EVOLUTION OF RELIGION, Oct 19 2000

* line 75: The orange race was especially given to belief in transmigration and reincarnation. This idea of reincarnation originated in the observance of hereditary and trait resemblance of offspring to ancestors. The custom of naming children after grandparents and other ancestors was due to belief in reincarnation. Some later-day races believed that man died from three to seven times. This belief (residual from the teachings of Adam about the mansion worlds), and many other remnants of revealed religion, can be found among the otherwise absurd doctrines of twentieth-century barbarians.


So is it real, or not, or half and half. I mean how many people in the past and even today are developing survival souls to fuse with their thought adjusters and what not? What happens to the guys that dont do that, do they just die and literally just die?


Dear Atsguy.

Reincarnation is an illusion. Period. Plenty of folks will not agree with me, I know. Laughing If you want to read my "nearly a book" on the subject, here it is Is reincarnation an illusion?

The issue of TA's having previous memories comes from the "fact" that not all humans choose eternal life. Free will allows us to be stubborn, and when that point is reached in a human's life, typically after quite some time in the Mansion World's, the TA departs, and that mortal cannot proceed further. However, according to Michael, none of these have actually disappeared, and he does not exactly know what will happen to them. They stay in the Sixth Mansion world, where they are very happy. That TA then seeks out another mortal to guide, but always from a different planet.

However, a small number of religiously/spiritually very important folks, like the Dalai Lama, have the memories of the previous incumbent transferred from one TA to another. In that sense, they do own all the memories of a previous life. Yet they did not live that life.

There appears to be a sort of Universal Mind, and folks who "retrieve" past life information while under hypnosis, or deep meditation, which is the same thing, simply tap into that Universal Mind, and adopt a few memories.

love,
Geoff.

here is his book that he wrote on reincarnation.... http://new-birth.net/booklet/reincarnation.PDF

I guess it isnt real, it is our thought adjuster,higher self, pilot light, the god that is in you that keeps the memory of the lives that it has seen...

Also Blake you said..

Upon further investigation of this incarnation, I also recalled the end of this lifetime. I saw how I knew that this was the end of this life and I gathered myself and went into my chamber and, as my teacher had taught me, I went into a special state of samadhi and consciously exited the body.

Are you talking about this incarnation...the right now, present or way back in the past?

Hi ned,

It doesn't sound like any of this information, from myself or from this other person is very helpful to you. If it doesn't resonate with you, don't accept it. You have to find your own inner validation of these things. If it isn't there, then it isn't for you.

I can understand what Geoff is saying, and I can see from the perspective that he suggests. I can also see one that contains them all and it seems to be just a juggling of semantics from there.

My final perspective on this, which is simply my own and it isn't presented to convince others of my point of view, but merely to show where I come from on this, is:

Everything is God manifesting in this universe - from the galactic to the least subatomic particle or string. EVERYTHING in manifestation is illusion.

From the perspective that we are all different aspects of God in manifestation, it makes sense that we have had various incarnations / reincarnations. We have in fact lived every lifetime that has ever been. We have lived them and yet we have not because we are not THAT and it is essentially an illusion.

Strive to love everyone unconditionally, then many of these things will become clear.

Regarding your last question, I was referring to a memory of the end of the life from a previous lifetime.

i understand,

Blake, have you tried to find any info on who those people were in your past lives/incarnation. Or have you gotten to dwell more into the expereinces of those other lives?

Maybe they were shown to you because you were in a situation, and maybe your higher consciousness thought it best to show you the expereinces of the past lives to further improve upon your situation.
