Past Lives

[Plenum]

all the best Ankh. I think Monica has made a fair evaluation of things.

[Ankh]

This is surprising. Based on other comments you've made, I got the impression that you were very, very confident and never allowed yourself to doubt, but just accepted whatever thoughts came to you.

Never thought that I was perceived like that! I doubt all the time, and I thought that it was visible. Was it right? Was it wrong? Sometimes even have this pain in my stomach indicating of still unhealed wounds. Acceptance of myself is something that I have been working with over a year now. And only recently learned this "technique", but it still comes with some friction.

Now that you say you doubt yourself all the time, I can understand how making a decision to 'not' doubt could be a reasonable response to that.

Yes, we all do have our challenges/catalysts! Thank you for sharing! And blessings to you on your healing journey. Your childhood sounds like it was very traumatic. I hope you find full healing from it.

all the best Ankh. I think Monica has made a fair evaluation of things.

Thank you both!! You made my day! Love you both! Love this place!!

[Shin'Ar]

Cannot really say that I have memories, but I do have powerful attractions.

I have never been comfortable in this time and have always felt born in the wrong era.

There is no doubt that my field is extremely sensitive to both Druidic and Egyptian influences.

[Unbound]

Funny, that's how I'd say it for myself too, we are eerily similar, Shin'Ar.

Sure, many thoughts pass through the mind, and many experiences had, but since all is simultaneous, it's really more of an attraction towards particular Life-Streams that one feels will supplement the experience and sense of self and knowing.

[Shin'Ar]

It is also such a strong familiarity that you feel at home. Something that I never feel in my life now. I have never been comfortable with any place that I have ever lived in. I used to think that was because of my abusive childhood, but I now realize that it has more to do with my field of consciousness and what it is more akin to from its past experiences.

My guides have helped me to understand the things that are part of my past lives, even though I have no actual memory of them. The signs I follow are amazingly revealing.

[Unbound]

Aha So weird, our voices are close together in my mind, I could just as easily be expressing the same things I feel.

Although, I don't even really feel at home in memories or other lives either. There was one experience I had in the recent past when my heart awakened, and it opened completely and I was balanced, there was only stillness, only the Source with me. That was Home, that feeling. I could have had any illusion around me and I would have felt Home.

[Shin'Ar]

The only place I ever really felt at home was not on this planet. It was very vivid and real. It was the event that changed my life and I have never been there since. There I experienced the All and the One is such reality that nothing in my life could have possibly continued as the identity that I believed I was prior to that.

[Unbound]

Ah, what is intriguing to consider is that identity has somehow squeezed itself in to this one.

[Shin'Ar]

Ah, what is intriguing to consider is that identity has somehow squeezed itself in to this one.

No, of that I am certain. the reality left the illusion far behind on that day. We are notes in a grand symphony.

[Unbound]

And what does the symphony create? The Illusion, no?

[Shin'Ar]

And what does the symphony create? The Illusion, no?

But once created it is no longer illusion, but memory and truth. Truth is the destroyer of illusion and therefore the destroyer of creation. What becomes truth is memory past, and yet in the continuing illusion being ever created there is no time. There is simply memory.

The symphony is a note already played. Our identity is the memory of that note. Do you understand that? A symphony does not exist unless it has already been expressed.

[Unbound]

Of course, as a musician I would call it a resonance.

How shall I say, most points in space do not remember it the same...

When you have a sound, the farther it gets from the Source, the more its geometry, which is its information, loses resemblence of the Source, however it goes through vast modulations where it becomes, on a larger scale, once again incredibly SIMILAR to its Source geometry, before once again phasing back out. This could also be called Alternation.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

[Ankh]

So the one i am right now.. this identity i am... is created now from my state of being/essence... memories/details are filled accordingly...

In another words there is no real past or future they change in the present according to my essence and not the other way around as our 3D minds would think.

I've had some amazing experiences with the now in my meditations, which made me to realize that the Creator is only now. It is a paradox that third density contains what we call the past, and the future. These things are also, as you say, depending on what is happening in that now, they are of infinite nature.

I agree that it is not only possible, but also very probable, that many of the memories that we have, both from the past lives, and this current life, are distorted and filled accordingly of what is needed in the now. But the question that I have - is there any absolute objectivity in the creation? If we put aside the past life memories and look only at memories of this current life, we probably all have been in the situations where two individuals have been through the same thing, together, but when remembering it, they have different memories of this same situation. What I wonder is that, as the creation and our beingness is infinite - is there any absolute accuracy, or perhaps objective perspective, of what happened in that particular situation?

From my perspective what is the real story changes as my identity/mind also changes from my essence.

And being consciously aware of that gives me the tools to shape my experience of myself/creation.

Through my state of being and not so much the details that change.
I am able to use the details/thoughts/symbols as a temporary gauge.

Great thoughts!

What I wonder is that is there any situation that can been seen from an objective point of view. For instance, from outside, like: "this is what happened exactly, but then person A perceived it subjectively in this way, and person B perceived it subjectively in that way." Is there any objectivity in the Creation?

So that is why memory is nothing more then a thought translated from a particular essence.

Past memory current one are the same thing.(to me)

I don't think that I understand how you mean.

Do you have any past lives memories?

I don't understand a lot of stuff from the details to existence itself but well this is the best theory that fits my experiences.
And i believe it to be true for me right (laughs) now.

=)

I appreciate this discussion, drifting pages. I have like an yearning for intellectual activity in regards to all this crazy wild world I am having at times in my mind. I have difficulties to ground myself because of everything. And while perhaps discussions like this are not grounding either, as they make me to drift away from the present moment again, in this case lost in intellectual activity, I still appreciate them, as I see them as balancing the activity of another sort.

i really like this. do you know why it phases back in?

[AnthroHeart]

Cannot really say that I have memories, but I do have powerful attractions.

I have never been comfortable in this time and have always felt born in the wrong era.

There is no doubt that my field is extremely sensitive to both Druidic and Egyptian influences.

Would you say these powerful attractions are a bias?
I too have powerful attractions that I believe are a part of me, and therefore bias.

I would somewhat liken it to the way you might enlarge or shrink a picture on the computer and the way the pixel clusters grow. You'll notice that with a certain amplification they will become distorted from the original shaping, and only after a certain degree (depending on the picture) will the pixels become an exact larger duplicate, and even then it is still not quite the exact same.

You could say that the geometry never ACTUALLY changes, it only APPEARS to change as a result of its distortion through its medium of transference.

[Oceania]

can you show an example.

[Unbound]

Okay, let me think and find something, I've never tried to explain this before, it's a newer concept I've been working with.

Cymatics probably give the best example of what I'm describing. This concept is also that which underlines the Golden Ratio.

If you were to think now of the comparison between having a plate which is 5 feet in diameter, and then a plate which is 10 feet in diameter and vibrate them both at the same frequency. The geometric pattern would still be roughly the same, due to the frequency, but because of the enlarged potential area it would not be an identical pattern.

[Wander-Man]

Just tried a regression. I saw:

D.) Politician in an advanced society
D.) Neck slashed by horseman raider dude on a farm
D.) An attractive black woman

Stopped after that.

[Monica]

I think it's the stereotypical past life. Much like the lifetime of Monica Leal will be for future third-density inhabitants.

You know, somehow I missed this the first time I read it!

I came back to this thread because I'd been thinking about sharing something that happened to me, with the 'eyes.'

I spent a weekend with a seeker known as DW in 2003. Lots of conversation, lots of looking into the eyes, lots of that person's eyes imprinting on the brain -- as would happen with anyone with whom you've spent some time.

At the conclusion of the weekend I returned home to resume the usual patterns of my life at the time. One evening later that week I was watching what I think was a History Channel program about the lost civilization of Atlantis.

They had a brief segment about Edgar Cayce, who many of you know channeled information about Atlantis in a small percentage of his sleep readings.

The program showed a b&w image of Cayce and BAM! Without time to think through a conscious series of thoughts, I *immediately* knew I recognized those eyes. I had just seen them during the previous weekend.

I might doubt the legitimacy of this experience if I had had a moment to say, "Hey, this is the supposed past life of this particular individual." And then attempt to mentally examine Cayce's face to see if I could identify any similarities.

But as the experience unfolded over the span of a fraction of a second, I knew that whatever part of my mind that makes such connections had made the connection of its own accord. The same basic process happens when you see another and think, "She looks like that actress from that one movie", or, "You look just like so and so."

And, to boot, the experience is repeatable. To this day I can view a picture of Cayce and see the same eyes looking out through Cayce's that I knew so well.

I didn't recognize distinct facial similarities, perhaps there were. For me it was limited to the eyes, probably the most telling and distinguishing windows into the soul, in terms of outer physical characteristics that is.

This is very interesting. Many years after my trip to England and discovering that I may have been Anne Boleyn, I did an images search on Anne Boleyn. Keep in mind my trip to England was before we had internet, so I only got around to looking up pictures of her a few years ago.

Well, they're all paintings of course, so many of them don't even look remotely like the same person. I can only wonder if some of the artists got her essence 'right' at all.

Of the many variations, one stood out. Not the facial features, but the eyes. I was looking into the eyes of me when I was a child!

There is great sadness in those eyes. Those were the eyes I saw in the mirror every day growing up.

http://laerer.aasg.dk/ASGUB/engelsk/SH05...Boleyn.htm

They aren't my eyes anymore. Not even close. I'm not the same person. The sadness is gone and my eyes look totally different now. But when I was a child, those were my eyes.

(For what it's worth.)

What's interesting is that the young woman in this picture looks nothing like the others. If you do a search, you'll see what I mean.

It doesn't prove anything. That artist may have gotten her eyes wrong. Or...he may have been the only one among all those artists, to get her essence right.

Wow. There is terrible sadness in those eyes. Such a sense of loneliness. She looks so uncomfortable dressed up as she is, wearing a costume that is not hers, living a life with which she is not in alignment. No joy for her. What a powerful piece that painting. Heartbreaking. Makes you want to reach out to her and tell her it's okay, and be a friend.

And if this painting did capture some of her essence, and if that was a past life of yours, I'm very glad healing has changed the situation for you. You definitely don't give off the vibe I get from that painting. : )

[Monica]

That's it exactly. All that, what you just said, was very much in my consciousness when I was a child.

What a powerful piece that painting. Heartbreaking. Makes you want to reach out to her and tell her it's okay, and be a friend.

You still can. The painting is a portal.

And if this painting did capture some of her essence, and if that was a past life of yours, I'm very glad healing has changed the situation for you. You definitely don't give off the vibe I get from that painting. : )

Thank you. The vibe is gone but I can still remember it.

I am familiar with paintings of Anne Boleyn and had never seen this one. She looks very young in it. As an artist, I can say that this particular painting is expertly executed. I think the painter was very good. So it may be very accurate.

I have studied the history of Henry the Eighth through Elizabeth's long reign. It is a very compelling era. Anne Boleyn was instrumental in getting Henry to break from Rome, diminishing the power of the Church. So we can thank Anne for that, as well as the amazing daughter she produced.

[BrownEye]

This fits my understanding..............

I agree. The others lack depth, but this one looks like her essence was captured. That, + my strong feeling that Henry VIII has always reminded me of an ex-boyfriend, not so much in facial features but something else about him I can't quite put my finger on, seals the deal for me.

Interesting way to look at it!

Here's something freaky! I just noticed an old friend who was friends with another of my friends on FaceBook, so I sent him a friend request. Naturally, I then looked at his friends list, and found a woman who succeeded me in line to the boyfriend that I think was Henry VIII.

This woman was a very sweet young girl when she started dating him, and he dumped me for her. I never blamed her though, but actually felt a kinship with her, because she had to deal with a lot of the same stuff I had had to deal with. She and I were actually friends for awhile, and she even sang at my wedding!

Around that time, she married the guy but they later divorced.

Anyway, get this: On her FB page she has 3 pix: 2 of her and 1 of...Anne Boleyn!!

How weird is that? I mean, why would she have a pic of Anne Boleyn?

Maybe she was Anne and I was the sister. Maybe the painting is of the sister, and they got it wrong. She did look different from the others. Both sisters were ensnared in Henry's clutches.

I thought about friending her on FB but then I saw the guy in her FB list so thought better of it. But that is uncanny, that she would have that pic included. I haven't spoken to her in about 25 years.

[Cyan]

Some I remember having is a past life buddhist one. This resonates as even in this life I have always had a strong desire to have buddhist related imagery.

I always told my mother as a child that I used to have a house in the mountains. Not sure if this means That in the future IW ill have one and have past/future recollection and or an actual past life. But it seems strong.

I remember and have confirmed as much that I have lived in what amounts to a lizzieish life somewhere and remember being cast out by the king for disobeying him and "loving" humanity for individuals not as a groupsoul. This one felt particularly strong.

[GreatSpirit]

I won't speculate on my past lives, because I honestly don't know. But I will speculate on a couple reincarnations of famous people:

1. Jim Morrison/Scott Stapp of Creed (lives are very similar, and Scott mentions Jim many times in documentaries. But what sealed the deal was when Scott played with The Doors about a decade ago. My friend who is a Doors fans laughed at this and said "Scott can't be Jim's reincarnation because Creed sucks!!") lol

2. Judy Garland/Lindsay Lohan (a sense, and they look physically similar. Both had/have drug and alcohol problems)

3. Cliff Burton of Metallica/Zachary Sandler of Black Tide (Both look VERY similar physically, each played/plays bass and Zachary was born after Cliff's death in 1986. What sparked this was when I was looking at a program book from the Mayhem Festival concert a few years ago, and I saw Zach's picture, and IMMEDIATELY I was like "holy s*** this dude looks just like Cliff!" Even more, Black Tide are huge Metallica fans and covered Hit The Lights on their debut album, and in the picture, Zach was wearing a Master of Puppets shirt, which was Cliff's last album with Metallica). I've posted a picture of Cliff and Zachary side by side.

[Observer]

An african shaman.

[Monica]

I don't think Scott is Jim, but wow! Zakk does look alot like Cliff!

I just wonder how valid that looks thing is. I know there have been some good cases made about the reincarnated person have similar facial features as the past life, but I wonder if that's always true. I mean, what if a petite, fair-skinned, Irish maiden with delicate facial features decides to reincarnate as a stocky, big-boned, dark-skinned woman next? Maybe she needs that experience for whatever reason.

[Spaced]

I'm going to bump this thread hope nobody minds.

I've had a few past life recollections . . . I'm not really sure how to start so I'll just lay it out using Monica'a letter system.

a.) Have unmistakable memories of that lifetime

I have always felt a connection to ancient Greece and Egypt. The Greece bit might be explained by the fact that I have been to just about every archaeological site in Greece, but - and I know this comes close to Cleopatra - I do feel a connection to Alexander the Great.

Other than that I also have a memory of medieval Germany . . . somewhere between 1300-1500 no idea really. Anyhow the memory is of being invited to dinner with a robber baron, a very feared and cruel man. I remember feeling as though I were in the lion's den and appealing to God and St. Jude for deliverance. Interestingly enough my father once e-mailed me to tell me that he had remembered the exact same situation. Come to think about it . . . I might have been the robber baron!

b.) Were told this by a psychic

When I was around 6 or so my dad took me to see a friend of his who was a psychic. She did a past life reading for me where she saw me as a Buddhist monk in the Himilayas. I have had no personal confirmation of this life but it does resonate, and when I enter deep meditative states I often hear buddhist chanting or gongs and see images of the Buddha.

In 2008 my dad told me that he had had a past life recollection of a life on Mars in which he and I were freedom fighters or terrorists depending on your view, and that it was us, or more particularly me, who set off the thermonuclear chain reaction that ended life there. Quite a thing to tell your son eh? It does make sense given some of the incarnations I've had here on Earth (you'll see below).

c.) Discovered this via hypnosis or unconscious regression

When I was maybe 19-20 I downloaded a guided past-life regression hypnosis .mp3 to see if I could get anything out of it. All I managed was a hazy view looking down at my feet seeing sandals on top of sand and feeling sadness at the loss of a daughter.

d.) Discovered this via conscious regression (remembered it yourself)

I've had three of these in the past year. Sorry if these get long but I want to get them all out there in case anyone else can learn from my journey.

The first occurred while I was sitting here at my desk. I had been suffering from extreme neck pain and was stretching my neck forward. All of the sudden I felt some energy come over me and the pain in my neck seemed to solidify into a blade. I felt the blade rise up out of my neck and could visualize it rising higher and higher until it stopped and I realized it was a guillotine blade. At this point my neck no longer hurt so I tried to get up before that blade came back down again but to my amazement I felt two very strong hands on my back holding me in place. I looked up and I was no longer at my desk but in what I would guess to be a town square in Paris looking out at a mob of angry peasants. I remember thinking how ugly they were, particularly one guy who I think might be my boss in this life lol. The next thing I remember before the blade came down again was one clear thought in French "Quelle mort horrible."

Since then I have had a few more memories of that life. I have a strong feeling that he (or she?) was very sensitive, an excellent violin player and a devout Christian, but that they failed their mission, which was to emulate Christ by forgiving those who would have them executed. I have forgiven them and myself in this life, this got rid of my neck pain and helped to opened up my blue ray energy center.

The next one I remember is an altogether darker life. I began feeling pains in my abdomen sometimes when I would hug my girlfriend. When meditating on that pain it intensified into a stabbing and slashing that mimicked the motions of the Samurai practice of harakiri. I felt intuitively that I was not doing this by choice but as a form of capital punishment for a crime, the crime of abduction, rape and murder. I don't want to go to deep into this one but my current girlfriend was one of the women who I had wronged.

I am not happy with that life but I have made my peace with it. I am extremely grateful that I was able to reconnect with my girlfriend in this life and that we have had the chance to heal some of the wounds from that life (in my case a fear of my own sexuality coupled with a pornography addiction, recipe for a spiral of shame).

My most recent past life recollection was just last night and shed some light on who I was at the fall of Atlantis. My girlfriend bought me a Black Tibetan Quartz as a gift this week and the second I took it out of the bag my heart began to race and a giddy sensation came over me. I was meditating with it last night and I commented in my head about how powerful it felt and a voice responded to me, the crystal itself. The conversation went like this:
"Wow you are a strong crystal!"
"Yes. That is why the Atlanteans used us to make weapons."
At this point I saw a powerful red beam literally wiping out a city. Just scouring it clean.
"You as in Tibetan quartz's?
"Yes."
"Was I involved in this project?"
"Yes, you were the lead developer of this weapon."

So there you have it, if any of this is true then I have been a very bad person in previous lives. This is the shadow I carry with me, but I am grateful for it because it allows for me to display an equal measure of compassion for those who have committed great wrongs, because I can see how the flow of time can heal their fury and that eventually they may come back to the path as I have.

I had the chance to go down the other path in this life as well, I came very close to joining an artillery regiment in my youth but I was turned down for medical reasons. I am very grateful that I was given the chance to choose differently for myself. As one of those who helped bring an end to the rule of the Law of One on this planet so long ago I find it only fitting that I have found such comfort in it in this life.

e.) Had sketchy memories which were filled in and confirmed by b or c

Mostly the Atlantis life. I have some hazy memories that are coming to me now about it, I think I might have been a beautiful woman in that life, a real terrible beauty. I think the crystal weapon was powered by my overcharged red-ray.

f.) None of the above, but just resonate with a character from history or have some intense emotion concerning that character

Just Alexander
