Hi Horizon!
I'll just briefly jot down a couple of things that have helped me, apologies if I repeat things that have already been better said, and if I'm just blabbering about my own stuff.
Something I got from either Ra or Quo: Emotions are a key. Emotions out of proportion in the present likely stem out of the past, and spending some time in whatever emotion arises may both give you answers, and resolve the issue. Sometimes all these emotions need is a bit of validation - they may not be valid in the present, but there was a time and place where they were valid. Sometimes there simply wasn't enough time to engage and resolve the catalyst offered, and a second chance is given without the need of re-experiencing the physical catalyst.
I did the same thing - asking for memories, for help, thinking I didn't get it. As I accepted letting go of the whole idea, I was suddenly bombarded by memories, and it took a while until I realized I was getting what I asked for, and I could simply ask it to stop, or at least slow down.

Trying to second-guess karma is, I believe, a waste of good energy. Somewhere in the material Ra or Quo says that the farther along an entity gets in its spiritual evolution, the more involved it gets in planning its own experience. Where am I in my evolution? No idea. Why may I have chosen some difficult experiences? I have a few ideas, but I can't know for sure, and it really doesn't matter in the present.
Slightly off-topic is that I think remembering past/other "selves" is a great lesson in seeing the self as other, and the other as self. It's easier for me to have compassion with myself, if I'm not exactly me, if you catch my drift. For most of us here, I think it comes easier to have compassion with the other than with the self. But what's the difference?
In dealing with memories I've had a good deal of help from loving invisible friends, but also from people - keep communicating.
Blessings, y'all.
