Unfortunately there is an unhealthy and even obsessive curiosity about past lives in certain people. If we live this life right, dedicated in service to others, we need not worry about our past lives because they are past, and we need not worry about our next life, because our right action in this life guarantees our future spiritual evolution. Who we were in a past life means nothing in comparison to what we are doing in this life. At best it is subject to error, and it is, in any case, completely unnecessary. Past life hypnotic regression, if it works at all, is also to be avoided. Even a skilled psychic could make an error about your past life, or their own, causing you to have a wrong view of your own past identity, or theirs. Secrecy over past lives, if strictly adhered to, also ensures that certain errors are not made. More often, if such a person does make such a revelation they are most probably wrong or attempting to show off – or both. Similarly you should not reveal your own knowledge of your past lives to others. As a rule, such a revelation should not be pre-empted. Knowledge of previous incarnations is a deeply personal matter which will be revealed to the aspirant through their own inner knowing at the right time for them. And if they do tell you, they are very likely to be wrong. Unless under unusual initiatory conditions, no one will ever tell you your past lives. Such an individual would typically be on a spiritual path and have sufficient detachment not to allow past life memories to interfere in a negative way with their current life, as outlined above. If an individual can see what they have done and experienced prior to this incarnation, they can use the knowledge of these experiences to make better choices in this life. What is the point of knowing our past lives? One of these will be the ability to know their own past lives, and the past lives of others. Ultimately, through the lives, the aspirant will have a wide range of psychic abilities. How quickly this happens depends on the individual on the path they have chosen and on how much effort they put into it. Sometimes people who may not be very spiritually advanced, and lead quite ordinary lives, have spontaneous memories of past lives, and there is a considerable body of evidence for reincarnation based on the testimonies of these people, including children.Īs the spiritual aspirant advances on their chosen path, they will develop psychic abilities and their intuition, even if they are not seeking to do so. In short, remembering past lives is fraught with potential for emotional distress and confusion. Imagine if you, having passed away in your forties in your last life, then, as a teenager in your next life, could recognize your former wife, who was still incarnate, now in her late nineties – and imagine if she could recognize you and expected you to stay with her as if nothing had happened! Imagine if you remembered being very rich and powerful in a previous life, you would find it all the more difficult to adapt to a more modest way of living. You would then have to cope with the guilt of that act in this life. Imagine, for example, if you had a past life memory of doing something very bad. However, this can be taken partly as a blessing in disguise and allows us to start each new life seemingly afresh. Why can’t we remember our past lives?Īll knowledge is stored deep in our subconscious mind but because we have not sufficiently developed our brain we are only able to access a very small part of our memory. All of us have been reincarnating for millions of years and in truth, there is no “death”, only that of the body.
