Do you remember your past lives?

[SparklyJadeFawn]

I remember two of mine.

I was just in a yoga class and a man there was telling me that he remembers all of his past lives.

I think it's so so interesting!

There is a theory that there are simultaneous realities and when we have a near miss accident that ought to have killed us, what has happened is that we really did die in one reality but our consciousness has moved to another. So we recall it as a near fatal accident and think we had a lucky escape, but in one reality it wasn't a miss.
I don't believe it but I like the idea that we never really die until old age, just skip from one plane to another, do no one is ever really lost and the people we miss are living in another reality with another version of us.

For anyone interested in this subject and all the many questions, the best source of information are
books by:

Brian Weiss
Michael Newton
Andy Tomlinson

All go into depth on the subject .

Could you link to the manifesting thread please? I can’t find it!

I like this idea ☺️

No memories but when my nephew was three, he would ask me to play with him at the play park. I told him I couldn’t as was too big, he looked very sad for me, and said ‘it’s ok you can play when you are smaller.’ Replied I have already been small and had grew into a big girl now. He came back with a frustrated ‘yes I know! But I mean when you are small AGAIN!’. A couple similar incidents also, definitely think he has been here before.

When I was about 17 I worked in a bridal shop. A woman purchased a dress and over the course of the weeks before her wedding came in for fittings with her mum who appeared a bit eccentric. One day she was scowling at me and declared that she was a spiritualist but specifically worked with "past life" and told me I had been a Victorian scullery maid. She herself apparently had been an Egyptian princess in the time of Cleopatra. She gave vivid accounts of our past lives and of others in the shop ( my manager was at court with Anne Boleyn etc)

On reflection I suspect that she was acutely psychotic but it certainly raised my interest into the possibility of past life

After this recommendation I started many lives, many masters by Brian Weiss. Bringing me a lot of peace, thank you.

For those saying that it is all nonsense, and that believers have a weak grasp on reality, do you realise that you have just trashed Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism, and Jainism - off the top of my head - probably more. I haven't studied these religions, but all believe in reincarnation in some way.
As for you die and that's it, how do you know? You are not dead.

For anyone interested, the Arnold Bloxham tapes are a good read.

Thank you for sharing such a personal experience. Absolutely fascinating.

Fine by me.
I believe in science not stories.

What is 'fine by you'?

Oh, I’m so glad!

This is called quantum immortality.

solipsism is another interesting yet scary theory - the belief that everything outside our own mind is unsure, and the external world we see may not even exist outside our own mind.

Thank you @virgocatlover
Nice to know what's it's called.
I follow a Facebook group about glitches in the matrix - there's some stuff on there that really is difficult to explain.

That Facebook group sounds amazing! What is it called?

I just wanted to add that when dd and ds1 were born, both the midwife’s said ‘She/He has been here before’. This was before I’d seen or held them. I often wonder why they said that and I wish I’d asked.

Midwives

Not many people believe in past lives though, I think.

@ThatshallotBaby Some babies when they are first born and in the few days after have eyes that look as if they see and understand everything! They look like old souls.

Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, and Jains - off the top of my head - probably more. I haven't studied these religions, but all believe in reincarnation in some way.
Then lots of others who do not claim a religion, but believe.
That's a fair number of the world population, too big a portion for it to be dismissed as crazy.

And plenty of other religions claim eternal life in their version of heaven with a deity.

It's possible they're all wrong, but religious beliefs can't be used as any sort of proof. They're based on faith, not evidence.

So if lots of people believe in something despite the absence of any hard evidence for it then it becomes true?

Until relatively recently most people believed that the earth was the centre of the universe until Copernicus presented a different explanation.

Nobody has any proof. We only have our beliefs.
I am pointing out here that actually far from 'Not many people believe in past lives though, I think'
A great many people do.

I woke up the next day and I remembered the place name from my dream. I hadn't heard of it in this life.

How do you know you haven't heard of it? I'd put money on the fact that you have heard about it at some point, whether it was in school, in casual conversation, in discussion on the radio or TV, at work or whatever.

How does the fact that a religion believes in something make it real? Surely it's the reverse?
