Quite interesting - Mayan day/nights and earth periods

[Tenet Nosce]

This theory has been bandied about new age forums for quite some time. The thing that always bugged me about it is we'd never know the difference. Not remembering "here"..or any past lives for that matter, how do you take the lessons of the past forward? Some say that your higher self learns, but there is no way to confirm that.

Sometimes I don't remember what happened last week! The point of gaining experiences is to distill the love/wisdom out of them, which then becomes part of who you are. Past and future lives aside, if a human being were suddenly brought to full consciousness of every single memory they have acquired over their lifetime, they would probably go crazy, or at least become highly disabled.

The Higher Self doesn't learn lessons. It is the end result of all the lessons learned throughout all the incarnations of an entity's history.

I suppose I'm too firmly planted in the here and now to give much credence to this line of thought. But I remain open minded to an event in whatever form it takes. Just show me for pete's sake. But don't bamboozle me with alternate worlds in which I just materialize never knowing anything changed.

I can understand your frustration. However you are overlooking the obvious fact that, at least once every day, you materialize into alternate worlds having for the most part NO CLUE that you have made such a transition. We call this dreaming. And yet, despite having little to no access to your waking life memories, "you" are still "you" in the dream world. You materialize your dream body, the other characters in the dream, and the landscape of the dream itself, all quite automatically, naturally, and effortlessly.
