Whats the purpose of remembering past lives?
I remember almost all of my past lives. Why do I remember all of them? It drives me insane.
See if there are other people like you.
If all else fails, go to an Otherkin forum, or website.
They can be a big help.
Do you die when remembering your past lives?
I want to do a past regression hypnosis, but my mom will not let me do this, because if you are opening memories you had in a past life, you will end up dead. Has anyone here taking a past life regression and are still alive? Has anyone died from it?
If you Christians don’t believe in this stuff, then don’t answer my question. This is only for people who believe in reincarnation.
King James Version Bible
John Chapter 11
11. These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
12. Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
13. Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
14. Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
Luke Chapter 8
51. And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.
52. And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.
53. And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.
Ecclesiastes Chapter 9
5. For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
Revelation Chapter 20
11. And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
Daniel Chapter 12
1. And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation [even] to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
Revelation Chapter 20
12. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is [the book] of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Daniel Chapter 12
2. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame [and] everlasting contempt.
1 Corinthians Chapter 15
51. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal [must] put on immortality.
54. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
Daniel Chapter 12
3. And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
Revelation Chapter 1
18. I [am] he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
[In summary, except for most/all of the prophets, and a few Christ took with Him with after His resurrection; everyone who died the first death is in a deep sleep. They are not dreaming. Just sleeping. By man’s perception many have been “sleeping” for thousands of years.]
[The instant a human dies, is the very instant they are being judged. By Christ’s and God perception it’s an instantaneous transaction. By the dead’s perception this too is an instantaneous transaction. When you sleep you have no perception of time. ]
[By Christ's definition the only true death is the "second death": Permanent separation of the Holy Ghost.]
Revelation Chapter 21
8. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Matthew Chapter 13
41. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
42. And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Revelation Chapter 20
10. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet [are], and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
14. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake
of fire.
Hebrews Chapter 13
2. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
[If a human is seeing/hearing a spirit now, then without a doubt it’s an evil angel, no matter how initially pleasant some may pose themselves to be. Angels are not allowed to present themselves to men until the Great Tribulation Period.]
[If you’re having alleged “flashbacks” from a previous life it’s from devils.]
James Chapter 1
16. Do not err, my beloved brethren.
What do you think of Past lives, where you have lived in the past?
The idea of past lives seems a plausable answer to the mystery of why we are born with varying wealth,health & fortune.
I know that some Islamic sufi sects, such as those of the likes of Jalaluddin Rumi have a concept of reincarnation, and the evolution of the soul through consecutive incarnations, each life raising them from plant, animal to human, and through to becoming angelic beings.
Can you believe it, they think in some life you may have been a F8888ng vegetable!!!!
What are the current islamic thoughts about this concept?
Rayman is refering to Quran 3:07
It is He who has sent down to you, [O Muhammad], the Book; in it are verses [that are] precise – they are the foundation of the Book – and others allegorical. As for those in whose hearts is deviation [from truth], they will follow that of it which is allegorical, seeking discord and seeking an interpretation [suitable to them]. And no one knows its [true] interpretation except Allah. But those firm in knowledge say, "We believe in it. All [of it] is from our Lord." And no one will be reminded except those of understanding.
But there is nothing in the Quran that would indicate perpetual reincarnation, the maximum deaths are two and the maximum lives are two;
They will say: "Our Lord! You have made us to die twice , and You have given us life twice. Now we confess our sins, then is there any way to get out ?" Quran 40:11
There are several interpretation of the second death but non are implying "reincarnation"
This Economic Mess Just Isn’t Fair!
What happened? Who is responsible for this economic mess? This is not my fault and it just isn’t fair!
Sound familiar?
As our children were growing up, I told them many times that life is not fair. No one ever said it would be; and, it never will be. Things will happen that will affect you that are just not right. At times, you will be treated unfairly.
What is very important is not the “what” or “why,” but rather how you respond to those kinds of situations. Today, many people are angry, and who can blame them? Some have lost their retirement savings. Others have lost their jobs. And that just isn’t fair is it?
So, how do we respond to an event of this magnitude? Politicians blame other politicians. Poor people blame the rich. Some people want the government to put a band-aid on everything and make it all better.
All of that is a waste of time. It doesn’t solve anything. And, it doesn’t help or change your personal circumstances.
I’m sure we could all look back on our past and remember incidents in our lives where we were injured or treated unfairly. Once, I was accused of something I did not do, and on top of that I was called a liar when I denied it. That was very unfair.
Another time I tried out for a sports team at school. There was one spot left and the choice was between two of us. I wasn’t that good of a player, but I was a whole lot better than the other kid. But, I was not chosen. When I asked why not, I was told that it would have really hurt the other kid’s feelings if he wasn’t chosen, so they picked him.
I carried the hurt and resentment from both of those incidents for a long time. But carrying all that garbage around for all that time was not profitable for my life to say the least. And, let’s be honest, those incidents were not critical to my life or well-being.
But, on the other hand, today many people are facing serious situations that are not fair. They are not responsible for the stock market, the housing industry, or the credit market. These situations are very real. But it is extremely important how we respond.
Trying to figure out who is to blame will solve nothing. Being upset and angry is a waste of your precious time and energy. Allowing yourself to become full of fear will not help you to get to a personal solution. These are not responses; they are reactions.
First, stop and take breath. You are still breathing! You are alive!
Don’t allow yourself to emotionally react without thinking. Next, stop dwelling on what you have lost or may loose. Instead, look at what you have and be thankful. Thank God every day for everything that you have!
Then, ask God to help you with your personal situations. Look to Him for guidance and direction. Could there ever be a time when the situation would be so bad that God could not help? If there is, then you need to get another God!
Finally, manage your life and your affairs with wisdom and discretion. (I did not say, “With fear.”) Acting out of fear will only bring negative results into your life. Think things through and make the best decisions that you can. If you need financial counsel, then get it.
Above all, put your trust and confidence in God as your Supplier! No, it doesn’t mean that you just put your head in the sand and act like nothing is going on. It doesn’t mean that we do nothing and think, “Well, God’s just gotta do something.” No. We trust God for His help, but we take action without fear, moving ahead one step at a time.
It is easy to sing praises unto God when everything is going just fine. It’s easy to say that we love God and that He is so wonderful when there is no pressure. But when you are up against the wall, you will find out if you really believe that He is really real!
I am convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that our God is both able and willing to help, regardless of the stock market, the housing industry, or, the global economy for that matter. Do whatever you need to do to get convinced of that!
Refuse to react. Refuse to be motivated by fear. Instead, respond with trust in our delivering and powerful God, Who loves you unconditionally! God is still on the throne!

A Remedy for Worry – Yoga
How could Yoga be a remedy for worry? Yoga teaches you to be completely, and consciously, aware of the present moment. The first time a friend of mine heard the words “consciously aware,” he laughed because it was a pre-requisite for a potential date.
He did not understand the importance of pure, focused consciousness applied toward the present. At the same time, he was a prime example of one who lives in the past. He regretted his past mistakes, so much, that it had taken the joy out of his life.
Living in the past is much like focusing on the rear view mirror, when your car is going forward. Your life is going forward, even if you are focused on the past. If you are worried about the past, how can you help yourself today? The past is an encyclopedia of lessons filled with achievements and mistakes. Look at the past as a reference guide and learn from it, without agony.
Very often, people worry about the future. The future is not carved in stone, but we waste so much energy worrying about it. The only thing we can be guaranteed about the future is it will be uncertain. The last thing any of us need is to focus on the future with a fearful or pessimistic viewpoint.
Look at the news today. Economic news speculation could be summed up as: “The recession is here, the recession is there, the recession is everywhere, and it will last for years to come.” Let’s be honest, depending upon where you live, there has been an ongoing recession for some of us. On the other hand, the person currently experiencing prosperity cannot envision a house foreclosure.
Your point of view will not make a recession go away, but a collective point of view, which is optimistic, will cause an economic upswing. Just watch the stock market for ten minutes, and you can see collective optimism or pure panic at any given time. Sometimes, you see both mindsets on the floor of the stock market at the same time.
Now, let’s see how Yoga can help us with daily worries. Focusing on your existence at this very moment is a basic concept of all forms of Yoga. Every Yogic technique teaches you to concentrate with full awareness. The emphasis of your practice is always positive.
Some people find the leap toward positive thinking to be their greatest challenge. Default negative thoughts may be caused by years of pessimism, frustration, and focusing on failure. Anyone can focus on negative thoughts, but it must be realized that this is a personal choice.
Yogic techniques, such as: Asana, pranayama, meditation, mantra, and deep relaxation, give you the strength to make a positive difference in your life and the lives of those who come into contact with you. When we leave memories behind, they should be filled with positive energy.

Relationship Rescue
I’m not much of a boater but occasionally I like to go for a ride so I’ll rent a boat to take out on the lake. My boating training and experience is old and not very reliable, but it’s enough for me to enjoy myself and not put others in danger. I would never take out a boat that I couldn’t handle, or go out on a day that was rough and dangerous. I know my limitations and don’t want to risk either my life or the lives of others. Learning boating safety is essential for anyone who wants to take out a boat. Most people agree with this fact. It is easy for most people to understand why they need training in order to be safe. I hope you see where I’m going with this.
In order to get a marriage license one only needs three forms of identification. Even if you want a driver’s license there are more hoops to go through and more knowledge you must have about driving than you need to get married. For reasons that defy all logic getting married is a snap. Nobody has to know the first thing about what it takes to remain married in order to get married. It is insane. When people get into serious relationships, get married and have children they wonder why things aren’t working out and generally blame the other person for not having a happy marriage. Obviously it is critical to know what you are doing when you get married in order to have a good marriage.
Hey, that’s why I took it upon myself to study what marriage is and how to keep it happy. I was one of those people who got married without having any idea of what I was getting into. It wasn’t necessary to suffer, but it was inevitable. When I got married in 1975 the only good advice I got was to hang in there. For you there’s a whole lot more advice. I wrote Lessons For A Happy Marriage so you will have a manual that pretty much covers everything. And I’ll tell you what: you don’t have to settle for a mediocre marriage, you can have the most amazing marriage on the face of the Earth.
It’s like going boating. You can get out there not having any idea of what to do and as long as there are no waves you’ll probably be OK. But why take a chance like that? Once you know how things work it’s actually pretty easy and a lot of fun. Well marriage is a whole lot more fun than boating and not much more difficult to learn. In fact I think it’s actually easier, because once you hear what you need to know it makes perfect sense.
Let’s say you’re out in the middle of the lake and a storm is coming, your sails are torn and you need a rescue; hang on! The first thing you have to do is stop doing what got you into the jam you’re in. Chances are your spouse is mad at you, and you’re mad at your spouse. Don’t say anything mean. Don’t get back at them. Don’t be mad at them (yes you can control your mind). Don’t hurt their feelings. Don’t talk behind their back. Don’t dig up other stuff that they did to you in the past. Sit back down on the boat and recall all the love that you have felt in the past. Take a deep breath and remember the moment you fell in love. Relax your shoulders and picture them in the cutest way you remember. Smile a little… a little more. Now a big smile. Think about what a good person your spouse is and how much they deserve your love… OK, if something huge has happened that is very difficult to get past you need to read Lessons For A Happy Marriage and see if it’s covered. There are different kinds of relationships and my focus is on relationships between married couples, especially if there are children involved.
The idea that has taken root in our country that divorce does not hurt our children is preposterous. A marriage with children needs to be preserved and turned into a happy marriage. Other relationships really need to be analyzed to see if they are the right one for you. Some people came to me thinking they made a mistake when they got married because they felt they weren’t right for each other. But they had children. To me that was proof that they were right for each other, and I made it my business to show them how they could have an amazingly happy marriage. All they needed was the manual. If you are married with children the odds of your marriage completely changing to one that is phenomenally happy is nearly 100%. I have seen it so often. You are good people and you deserve the love and security that comes with a happy marriage. By all means stop which you are doing and say to the person you love, “I love you.”
