But be rest assured, if you are remembering a life, whether it was one your individuated patternization "actually" lived or not, you can bet that life you are remembering is a vibrational match to your thoughts now.
This is exactly it.
Memory is thought to be retrieved based upon the cognition (thoughts like beliefs) and affect (emotional states) that we are currently experiencing. Every time we retrieve and recall, the memory is reconstructed based upon the most current beliefs or world views - or more generally based on our current situation.
'Past life' memory are recalled probably in a similar manner. So the utility of recalling past lives, whether grand or boring (lol) is that it highlights whatever distortions or information that we may find useful for self-discovery. Just my 'theory' here
