How I reconciled my pre-life memories and knowing that I existed before this life.

originally posted by: wantsome
I remember stuff from before I was born and I remember meeting my family in the delivery room. I was watching my parents before I was born. I was asked if I wanted to go.

When I was a kid I didn't do my school work. My teachers complained all I did was stare out the window. The school thought I might be slow so they did a psychological evaluation and an IQ test. My memory skills were off the charts. The reason I didn't do my school work is because I thought it was a waste of my time. I could memorize everything. Although I learned stuff I didn't use what I learned.

Anyways I can remember all kinds of stuff from before I could even walk. I remember watching my parents before I was born. I remember what they were doing and what they were saying. I remember watching other people too.

I don't practice religion but I've seen divine intervention. There's more to life then what we know.

Thanks so much for sharing, that is wonderful. I don't have a religion but I do believe we must endeavor to know ourselves while we are here. That the self is something connecting us to all things.

I haven't posted on here in probably a year or more, breaking my silence for ya. I'm only about 15 minutes in but let me tell you something.

I had memories of quite a few lives, usually comes with some trauma or lesson. I believe I could confirm one of them if I tried hard enough. I do believe we re-incarnate, but that's not why I decided to message you.

One of these dreams I had as a child a voice said at the beginning "this was your last life", I was a man, in my 60's would be my guess. I was in the cockpit of a plane, and judging by the layout and my research it was probably a tiny crop duster with a single joystick.

Suddenly I went through a pretty crappy experience of having a heart attack, or stroke or something, fighting for the joystick until eventually I went limp. I was motionless but still in my head somewhat. The dream flashed ahead and I was standing outside this plane wreck in this warm summer grassy field, thinking.. that body ain't gettin' fixed. When what happens next?

There was a bright white being, not quite human, but almost tubular like you said, it was just hovering like 6 feet above the ground and plainly said "you are dead". Sounds a lot like your experience.

I recall a man, like a male with dark hair wearing a suit talking me into living again, it wasn't forced but I felt like he wasn't taking no for an answer.

I had 2 other life-time death images, with the one miserable one of being in France in like the 1800's, I won't get too much into personal details, but out of grief I pulled out a black revolver and blew my brains out in the back of a carriage. After that and some misery i'll leave out, I was being aggressively lectured by a voice and being forcibly shown my body in the morgue, It was a moment of intense grief, as my death included a loved one as well, I just wanted to float around and stew in misery, I wasn't even in the mind to process or care that I was indeed existing after death, I was just too upset to care.

I could tell you more stories, got a few, but I just wanted to say holy crap, about the similar experience with that kind of being.

Just watched the rest of the video, fantastic, the stuff we could talk about man. I'm more interested in listening than speaking, but frankly there are also some things I just don't wanna say because it could be problematic.

It's interesting your perspective about that being as the future version of you, in a direct sense. When I said the one dream I was being lectured aggressively, it's interesting because as I was digging into my memory I was literally giving that version of me a piece of my mind, as if screaming from the future, makes me wonder.

On that note, digging into past lives seems like turd mining, you just get less evolved further back and find more problems. The most significant identity though I actually had 5 dreams of, I was MORE evolved than I was now, but I asked these human people to drain me so I could live as a human for 10 000 years or something to that extent, I think it was out of a need to make sense of things. That little identity that was mine has gotten me into some interesting situations spiritually, but anyways, I was very different, very wise, powerful, all that stuff that seems exciting. But when those characters essentially assisted suicided me, I lost all my form, felt the drain, and lost all intelligence and substance, I was like a floating irratic puppy, from what seemed like a god. Kinda funny when I think of it, it's like taking a nice art piece and smashing it cuz it's not good enough, at the cost of several lifetimes of ensuing suffering and ignorance.

Thank you very much for sharing, this means more to me than you realize.

As a young child I had memories of a different persons life living at a different time (what I assume was the 1920's or 30's), I dont really want to go too deeply into the details of these memories, but I have a strong feeling this person was murdered around that time.

What troubled me in regards to reincarnation for a while was the gap. I was born in 1980, so if this person died in the 30's there was certainly enough time for me to have another life in between. This is the life I'm trying to find more about, and there are some hints.

I have always had a strong affinity with this town I now live, its ALWAYS felt like home. I didnt grow up here but even as a young child I loved this place--and in the 80's this town was full of junkies and sex workers so it really was no place for a kid. I know the person from the 30's was not from here but could have died en-route to here (that fits what I know of the person in the 30's). So my connection with this town comes IMO from the last life?. I'm still trying to figure it all out, but I'm getting some picture of who this person might have been--and I dont think they were very nice.

Thanks for sharing such great insights. I'm glad you resonated with some of my experiences. I'm finding more people connecting now that I shared that video via e-mail etc talking about their similar experience. Which makes me feel good about sharing mine if it helps some one.

I agree with Turd mining, we will come across our less than proud to have had lives that were lets just say more motivated through fear, violence, hate etc where hurting other people or doing really socially bad things can emerge. But that's how it is, look at the world and it's history we get to see what we've collectively done to each other in this story.

Making bad choices creates bad results and many can suffer. Make good choices and you can benefit and those around you benefit. In some of our incarnations I do think we pay a karmic price for living a bad life where we harm humanity, because it seems we become those victims. A type of justice system may actually be there, so right now a loose idea not confirmed 100%. Still so much to learn, I will never claim I know it all that would be a big lie.

Just learning, piecing together these fragments and trying to make sense in a world so full of confusing and conflicting beliefs and ideas.

You are in the same boat as me, still trying to figure it out. The amnesia caused by the cleaning of our slate is part of the problem. How to rectify that seems so tenuous and difficult but I do believe we can come back into those memories as I have had this in my life.

Thanks for sharing, hopefully the more we share experiences that are similar the more we will understand this through our individual insights.

You inspired me to astral project more, so I did some this morning. I tried mining some information about a life I lived, only feedback was re-assurance that I was indeed a piece of ####. I don't know what my problem was, but I was clearly insane. Thing is I blocked that life out with disbelief because it was too dark that I couldn't accept it.

I wanted to ask you your technique for lucid dreaming, and more than that, I wanted to ask your mental-emotional-abstract focus about the subject. Reason being this coalesces into the likeliness of a lot of things to occur.

As someone who is very much into this sort of stuff, I just go to bed with the motivation to get some sleep, and happy to play out the last thoughts of my day, and trying not to stress about whether i'm going to get enough sleep that night. So lucid dreaming while desired is sort of not enough in the focal point. But I want it to be.

It's always a discipline to endure the process of facilitating conscious experience during sleep but having tasted it and seeing it gives you access to deeper knowledge about yourself, datamining who you are with this focus state is beneficial in how it can through self-edification grand certain epiphanies and truths that most only realize when they die. Why wait until death if you can know, and with out uncertainty that you are more than this experience. So I applaud your success and encourage you on your inner cosmic journey of the self.

We are slowly climbing out of the materialistic deadlock of belief that there is no life after death, let alone the reality we existed before this immersion into human experience.

As for lucid dreaming techniques, I cover so much of that on my website. I'll link the progressive guide which has helped others.

For me lucid dreaming and out-of-body experiences are both entry into a state of consciousness during sleep. For long I thought I was accessing alternate realities but have now realized that we only ever access information that fits our current experiential beliefs and expectations to derive self-relative ideas as expressed there.

We are already in every one of these states but it's how we shift focus to access information that yields the experience which means we are back to data mining ourselves for truth, knowledge and experiences to see a larger reality which we all share in this unified field of awareness dreaming up immersive reality experiences.

wow very cool man, this is great, and good for you, and thanks for sharing with the world. I started writing a book myself over the winter and have been working on organizing it into a library and something of a course. I stumbled upon a technique to condense, gather, intensify an intention to basically keep you meditating with fast and easy results. I made myself ill with it a few times trying to test the threshold. Anyways, it started as a means to help get relaxed faster. I'm not trying to brag, but it kicks ass we'll leave it at that.

I can link to your site, it looks like you put a lot of work into this. It's good you are sharing, and even your little personal story video has inspired me to be more comfortable in front of a camera, I just figured no'one wants to listen to someone who is 32, but that's ridiculous, you know what you know, enough to talk about it with confidence that you believe it is helpful.

btw funny fact, I said I died in a plane, and then I had to spend most of my working adult life as a high-rise window cleaner on a rope. Cause and effect, damage and healing.

I actually met someone here on ATS who I think was my parent, I think we both agreed, that was weird.
