Past life recall is an elusive subject in Western society, yet a common and accepted one in many other countries and cultures. In recent years, Eastern philosophies as well as ancient European ones have precipated a surge of interest in the possibilities of multiple lives.
More and more people are giving at least some thought to the potential credibility of the notion that they may have lived before as another person of either gender, in another era and often in another country and socioeconomic situation. People are beginning to pay attention to "deja vu" experiences, or sudden and brief "pictures" of themselves as another person - and at least wonder if these could be clues to who they were before.
Often when first studying the theory of reincarnation, people wonder why they don't remember clearly who they were. How could this theory be true if it is all so vague and often impossible to validate?
There are many reasons for this block in memory, one being the fact that it is not part of our mainstream culture. In countries where past lives are a "given," young children often share long dialogues of memories about their lives in other times and other bodies. In fact, some children have remembered being people who died within the past decade or two, which led to investigation and uncanny evidence. There does seem to be evidence in countries like India for the theory of reincarnation.
Another reason that we often do not readily remember all of our past lives is that our memories are best focused on NOW, this life. Remembering our past lives does have merit, but should not lead to feelings of longing or obsession. Certain memories of relevant past lives can give us alot of "hidden" information about our life's work this time around, and what recurrent patterns, life partners, and unresolved karma, fears, and challenges we have chosen to work with in this lifetime. These same selective memories and life parallels can point us to the gifts and talents that we chose to work on in this present life, and even who we have chosen to spend our lives with, whether a spouse, children, parents, friends, coworkers, and so on.
The resources on my website, Reincarnation Central, will guide you through some activities to help you to get in touch with the past lives that are pertinent to the life you are experiencing right now. As you practice these activities, you will find glimpses and memories sprouting up more and more as you go about your daily life. The lessons, talents, and messages from your former selves can help you discover the true meaning of your life and ascertain what your Life Path is now in the 21st century.
To begin to explore the topic of reincarnation and past lives, sit back and mull over these questions, and then write down your answers.
