Past Life Regression

www.spiritualforums.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=21
Discussions about Past Lives, Reincarnation etc. Welcome to Spiritual Forums!. We created this community for people from all backgrounds to discuss Spiritual, Paranormal, Metaphysical, Philosophical, Supernatural, and Esoteric subjects.
 

I am somewhat skeptical of past life experience claims; do you know how many people, for example, claim to have been Cleopatra? That being said, I try to keep an open mind on the topic, and find consideration of it and other paranormal matters fascinating...
 

I think that if you want to try this, then it should be
done when you are very young, before you read any
books or just a story that sticks in your mind, maybe
before you understand TV programmes.

I read a lot and have done all my life, so my subconcious
must be full of nonsense and stories that impressed me, I
would therefore probably give a false account by using a
story that I had read, not one that I had done.

So to get an unbiased report of a previous life, then you will
have to ask a child, I have read many stories about children
who remember another life.

One of the first was an Indian boy who said that he was the
local shopkeeper before he was killed by a would be robber,
the robber forgot to find out where the money was before
killing the shopkeeper.

The young boy took some adults who were interested in the
story, to the place where always hid his money and it was still
there to the astonishment of all concerned.

Here is a link about regression that I found in Google.

Inherited memory among some species is a fact .... migratory birds, spawning salmon, sea turtles that return to same beaches, etc. The human brain probably has the capacity but it gets lost in the rush of day to day living.

The Religious Right is fond of quoting Jesus and the phrase 'born again' but their interpretation usually means some form of personal salvation through acceptance of and belief in Jesus. I've often wondered if instead it was meant to be literal. True believers in reincarnation believe that life itself is a test and we need to keep coming back until we get it right. I lean in that direction.

Re-incarnation..living more than one life, is surely the only thing that makes sense of our existence. It explains why people's lives are so different. Some have things easy, others have nothing but suffering. If we each live several lives and each has a different purpose, surely that makes sense of it all? Otherwise life is extremely unfair!

Why do you assume things make sense or have to make sense?

If you observe nature, everything seems organised with mathematical precision. Have you noticed how flowers are designed to attract just the right insects? Therefore it seems logical to assume that our existence is also planned and not totally random.

If reincarnation is real does it say good people come back as good people and the same for bad people?

Not necessarily. Each life has purpose and is a learning experience and once you get it* right, you don't have to come back again. In a life, we may be experiencing our own Karmac destiny or helping someone else to fulfill theirs. Old souls that keep coming back are just slow learners.

*And please don't ask me to define "it"

Now that one bothers me: “good” and “bad” are on a continuum, like so much else, and are often dependent on individual circumstances. My reading has led me to think that the “best” souls no longer need to reincarnate.

We have to pay for our wrong-doing and that can only be done in a physical existence. Our sins may be forgiven but we still have to suffer punishment for them (contrary to what the Catholic church tells its flock...a few Hail Marys do not undo the wrong you have committed).

Just curious here. How do you know this is the case?

I'm a Buddhist, so reincarnation and karma are accepted concepts.

There is no single path to God.

That’s right. While I’m not a Buddhist, I do believe in reincarnation and most certainly remember past lives. There is no doubt in my mind whatsoever that we are eternal and have lived before.

There’s at least 4 lives I have vivid memories of and now also understand why our life sometimes doesn’t seem fair. Karma isn’t just from this life but from all our lives so bad karma, that comes your way , could very well be from another life.

Yes I have had last life regression and have been hypnotized but against my will and anyone who claims you can’t be hypnotized against your will is wrong. Some people are more open to the power of suggestion than others.

There’s a place in our consciousness that’s beyond time and space. I find this topic fascinating.

I traveled to Italy once with a small group of friends. One of the men (a lifelong friend), who I know had never been even to Europe before, was shocked when he seemed instinctively to know his way around a very small village north of Rome. At one point he said, "That place used to be a bakery, I think." and he described the inside layout in detail. We talked to another shop keeper who told us that the bakery had been there but had burned over 30 years before, that it was exactly as described and that the baker lost his life in the fire.

We almost missed our train because he insisted we walk thru the old cemetery and he didn't want to leave. I think the experience moved him. His whole persona changed from loud, boisterous, good-time-Charlie to quiet and sober. He later went back and spent several weeks there but never wanted to talk about his experience.

the same thing happened to me gennie, aged 12 in Spain ......I knew the area we were staying so well !! ...
 
Everyone certainly has the right to believe whatever they wish. If I said I believe I am the handsomest guy on the block, you would probably say "goody for you." On the other hand, if I said I am the handsomest guy on the block, you might want some evidence.

I'm not denying reincarnation. What do I know? If you have had personal experience, I can understand your belief in it.
