    Learning About Past Lives

    This is a weird thread, because basically I'm asking a general question about something I'm wondering about I don't believe in: seeing bits of your past lives.

    Now, I just want to save a bit of time here: I already don't believe in reincarnation, so no need to chime in about how you personally don't believe in it, or how there is no answer to this question cause it can't happen. We've covered that. Moving on.

    But lets say you do believe in past lives and reincarnation, you have lived and died before. You were other people. How do you find about about who you were? Are there techniques you can use to learn more?
    hey look, I have a book! And look I have a second one too!

    Re: Learning About Past Lives

    Once Azazel (one of my Gods) showed me bits and pieces of all my previous lives. I never asked for it, he just showed it to me because he deemed it "useful". I'm currently in my 4th life, according to him.

    I do not know if it's verifiable, but I trust Azazel enough to believe it. Maybe, maybe if I ask him to show me again, or at least ask him why did he show me that, perhaps he'll tell me how to achieve it myself or why did he showed me my previous life.

    So I don't have an answer to your second question. Sorry.

        There are at present 45732 alternate realities that really want to know why their local Cleopatras all decided to re-incarnate on this Earth. You wouldn't know which Cleopatra you were would you?

          Re: Learning About Past Lives

          Hmmm....so, I don't believe in reincarnation, but I personally have had and seen experiences that sometimes make me question that (lack of) belief, to the point of time period and place, though not a specific person usually. Are you interested in that at all, Malfick?

            To be more on topic than my last reply, Google tells me guided meditation or hypnosis can be used. I wouldn't know. I don't really look for info on the subject and I have a terrible opinion of using hypnosis to get information.

              If you google Arnold Bloxham that gives some interesting info about hypnoses being used in past life regression.

              My own feeling (and I should say here that I do believe in reincarnation) is that it's not really necessary for us to know. It's a bit like a relay race, we all have different starting points.

              All I've learned from my own past lives has come through music. But then I'm a bit strange like that.

                My first reaction is to wonder what brings along the interest, but as it's your internal dialogue I'll leave you to it.

                Past lives aren't something I've ever put a lot of time into learning about on a personal level, but I've come across the concept from time to time.

                A lot of what's recommended for recovering memories of past lives involve guided meditation or hypnosis (at least in reference to the information I've come across).

                  Re: Learning About Past Lives

                  One thing I've found that has urged me in the direction of believing is that I have some memories that I couldn't possibly have. I know I started a thread about it a long time ago when I first noticed it because it was very unsettling for me. The instance that I talked about there was of a memory of going into an attic room in my home and playing with a woman and girl in Victorian clothing. I have a few "memories" of that. It's not like how I remember dreams, that's a completely different feeling. These honestly are set in my mind as something that I had done. But we never had an attic room in any of the homes I lived in. In fact, this is the first house I've lived in that has had an attic room and I'm 24.

                  With all of these it's just a matter of thinking back and saying, "Huh, that's odd. That never happened before. Why do I remember it?" I believe there is a strong possibility that this has to do with past lives. However, I'm very unsure of the afterlife in general, and even less sure if I 'believe' in reincarnation. In general, I don't think it's very important or pertinent. The most important thing is that I live this life as well as I am able and in good character.

                  I wondered if he could ever understand that it was a blessing, not a sin, to be graced with more than one love.
                  It could be complicated; of course it could be complicated. And it opened one up to the possibility of more pain and loss.
                  Still, it was a blessing I would never relinquish. Love, genuine love, was always a cause for joy.

                    Re: Learning About Past Lives

                    I must be he odd man in the bunch or delusional. I remember several distinct past life situations. I have vague memories of sailing on a ship a wooden sailing ship in the south-east Asia region and/or the Indian Ocean and Malay Indonesian region and that I was some kind of merchant who actually owned the ship or inherited it or it was handed to me. I remember the places, the spices in the markets, that the ship's name was in Spanish, I remember the ocean and the sun on my face.

                    I have vague intuitions of being a doctor or healer sometime somewhere in the world.

                    And most strange of all I remember being a wolf so clearly that I have 'phantom limbs' and feelings of fur on my body believe it or not.

                    These among many other tangents of memories I don't want to share

                    If there is a thing as an 'old soul' I feel I'm definitely one. Past lives are a big part of who I am. I've looked into past lives in search of answers to questions I've had my entire life about them since childhood. The memories and feelings are there inside of me but I have no tangible answers for them.

                    Whether these are delusions or what I doubt I'll ever know

                      Re: Learning About Past Lives

                      When I was five, I picked up one of my much older brothers' school textbooks - it was in French and when my mother saw me with it she asked what I was doing. I told her I could read it (I could read in English then too.) She didn't believe me, so I translated it for her.

                      Another memory - though it comes from someone else - is that when I was very small, I would tell people that I wasn't a girl, I was a boy, and that my name was Thomas.

                      And then there's the music stuff which is just... well, strange.

                        Re: Learning About Past Lives

                        For most of my life I have approached past lives much as I have approach the past in this life: it doesn't really matter where a person came from, what matters is where he is and where he is going. Lately I have reconsidered this. The decisions I make today do not live in today only. It is hard to explain.

                          Re: Learning About Past Lives

                          I know very little of my past lives, only that 2 are for certain and I was burned in both (though only one of those did it result in death). My husband however has memories of things from the late seventies back until roman times in which he was the emporor Tidus. He speaks German in his sleep, but doesn't know if he was a Nazi or not. He either rembers or dreams, nothing he has done on purpose. My experiences were revealed differently. One was a spell to see only the appearance of my past self (no idea if I even still have said spell), the other was revealed to me by the angry spirit of someone I had wronged in that life via partial possession of another person who was involved the incident that was also reborn into my community in this life.
                          I would be very interested as well to discover a way to learn more about my selves and how many there are as what I've tried on my own hasn't been very fruitful.

                            I was *the* Cleopatra. Everyone else is an imposter. How else could I remember the feel of the milk in the bath? Or the smell of the kohl? The feel of gold?

                              I don't have a great deal of interest in my past lives, although I do believe in them. I have a strong notion that I was involved somehow in World War II in my immediate previous life, though. I have never had a regression session or anything to do with hypnosis because I'm too skeptical with hypnosis to feel it would be accurate.
