Spontaneous Past-life Memory.

Hi Woody,

I'm still in the process of reading this fascinating and engaging thread, but I just wanted to say that I am thoroughly enjoying it!

I would love to have PLRT done myself one day as I would love to learn about who I was before, and who from this life featured in my past life, and what their relationship to me then was.

I do have a question which relates to your past life memory (from Cornwall) but I have a feeling that I might find the answer further on in the thread so I'll keep it to myself for now.

I definitely think that we are given glimpses of our past lives (and future ones) and the people who featured in them in our dreams, I think this has happened to me, although there is no time period that I can definitely identify personally at present.

I did have a dream once where upon looking in the mirror I saw that I was dressed as an Egyptian princess with the iconic hair and makeup etc, but I don't think I was ever an Egyptian Princess, that's not the feeling I got with the dream, I think there was another message contained within it, but I'm not too sure what.

I have recently read a couple of books by Michael Newton, he specialises in regressing people, not just to previous lifetimes, but to life beween lives, ie: where we reside and what we do when we are in spirit/soul form. I really enjoyed the books and was wondering if this is something you have ever done?

Thanks again!

Hey there, please don't hesitate to ask, if you can't find the answer to your question in the thread.

Interesting that you mention the 'between times' ... I have regressed a very good friend of mine on several occasions. But one time in particular she gave a truly fascinating account of one of her 'between times' ... I was in awe as I listened t her.

I couldn't believe it when we spoke after, that she was disappointed because she hadn't recalled another lifetime ... she didn't understand how special her account had been.

Anyhoo, enjoy the rest of the thread and ask any questions you might have when you're done.

Woody

Hi Woodwytch!

Fascinating thread. I went through the full 17 pages (although i didn't read all the paragraphs ) I am glad it was revived, otherwise i would have not found it.

I feel a little sad i have never ever had any kind of experience that can be related to any past life. Hopefully meditation will take me somewhere.

Are you aware of the Aida's strange reality site? she has some experiences and ancient-past memories worth reading.

I find that your ideas in general are -in some way- 'coherent' with the universe described by David Wilcock, would you say you agree in general with him?


A subject that keeps coming to my life is "recover memories", being this thread the last episode When i was in my teens i was having some personal problems so I got the idea to put all my memories in order so I could get an idea why I was where I was at that time. I never wrote anything, i just got in my room and keep thinking (meditating?) about events in my life. Very good experience. I've been doing it from time to time.

Then in university i read about the importance of memories on Carlos Castaneda books (took me some years to read them all) his "recapitulation" method was very demanding: you have to 'retire' for some months so you can recount your full life, using the names of the people you have know as a guide. (No, i haven't try it, though the philosophical ideas in those books have had a deep impact in my way to perceive reality.)

More recently i read this Article that make me realize there is a diference between the no so nice Church of Scientoloy and Dianetics. So I read the dianetics book (that can be downloaded free from here ) and been thinking to give it a try.


So now i think that the knowledge and assimilation of the conflicts from your past (since the moment of your conception and sometimes even before that ) are quite a transcendental tool (goal?) in this reality. Its curious how all these different 'recover memories' technics (yours and theirs) with very different target ranges, coincide in the beneficial effects of remembering your past, and in the idea that there is an amazing capacity in the human being to remember things (and to do it in a very vivid from) our official society consider impossible to do. What do you think?

Finally, I would love to know what is your opinion about the Idea that some souls come from other planets? have you meet anybody with a memory that seems from outside this world?

Great you keep posting on this thread

Peace.

Well first of all let me say ... 'well done you, for getting through the entire 17pages'

And secondly thank-you for the links particularly the 'aida' link I shall be taking a look at that.

You pose some interesting idea, of which I'm inclined to agree ... I really enjoyed reading your post and the intelligent possibilities it raised.

I too love the way this thread can be dorment ... sometimes for months ... then someone digs it back-up and it has another burst of life.

It certainly seems to be a subject that many people have an interest in ... for myself ... I still find it as fascinating now as I did way back in 1992 ... when I first started to get the 'flashbacks' of my Cornish lifetime.

I think when I started reading this thread it opened all kinds of new doors to my mind. I have never forgot this thread no matter where I have went in life. Needless to say, Woody has made an impact on me and I certainly feel our paths were meant to cross.

Finally, I would love to know what is your opinion about the Idea that some souls come from other planets? have you meet anybody with a memory that seems from outside this world?

That interests me very much! I have often wondered about that myself. I'm eager to hear Woody's response. I picture myself being the eager student who hates when class is over.

I imagine that it was an unexpected treat, even if your friend didn't think so! If you get time, and if you are not breaking any professional or personal confidances, I would truly love to hear about what your friend recalled from her inbetween life. I find that aspect of regression particularly fascinating.

Oshdra asked a question that I had been wondering about also (I'm not sure you answered it ) and that was have you ever regressed anyone who remembered a life that was not on Earth, ie, another planet/dimension?

Also, and it's a bit out there, but have any of your clients ever remembered a life where they were not human?

Still working my way through the thread and thoroughly enjoying it.

Thanks!

Ok people, it seems like you all have a healthy curiosity in the 'off-planet' stuff ... and you would like to know my take on such matters!


This is an interesting one indeed ... and one that I have some interest in ... but as you will become aware ... as you work your way through all my posts in this thread ... and my responses in other regression related threads on ATS ... I am a natural sceptic.

I only believe my own paranormal experience when I can find substanciating evidence to back them up because our mind can play tricks on us sometimes in certain situations !

Now obviously 'off-planet' data cannot be authenticated and verified ... however, that does not mean that I dismiss it.

The subject is far too great ... and far too deep to pay it justice here.

It is also a subject that can lose you the respect of people who have not yet learned to stretch their comprehension beyond a certain level.

So, have I ever had any clients who had 'off-planet'recall ?

In a word ...YES !

If you consider the 'between times' as 'off-planet' ... the 'between times' are certainly not Earthly.

But I'm playing with you ... because that's not quite what you mean is it ?


At the risk of being mocked ... I will admit that I have 'images' (not sure whether they are actual memories or not), of being in a place that was not 'here' ... an unimaginable amount of time ago. I say unimaginable ... because 'time' there is not as we would recognize it here.

Just 'being' felt entirely different to what we accept as normal (in the human sense). But they are fleeting glimpses ... there is no solidity or certainty ... it may only be the sense of a dream ... but I have often looked into a clear night sky towards the beautiful twinkling Sirius ... and felt what can only be described as 'homesick' ... without any Earthly explanation.

But as I said before ... the mind can be a great trickster.


>>> As to the other question posed about clients with 'non-human' memories ... I once knew someone who swore she'd been a Golden Retreiver before ... and she was very serious about knowing how it felt to be a very happy dog ... playing ball in a field and wagging her tail.

I know how funny it sounds but she was a very sane person ... and she was adamant about this being a real memory.

Unfortunately I knew her before I became a PLRT and we eventually lost touch when I moved North, so I never actually regressed her myself ... these were her own spontaneous 'snapshot memories'.

Wow. I find all of this so completely fascinating. To know we are so much more. All that exists is SO much more. And I know exactly what you mean about feeling homesick when you look up. I feel the very same way. With no logical explanation.

I starred and flagged this thread long ago, but I would do it a million times over if I could.

I'm truly honored to call you my friend. And my, what a beautiful mind you have. heh

Ah, bless you ... your making me blush.

I'm very honoured to call you 'friend' too ...it seems like a long time ago that you were asking for my help as you were finding your way and discovering the more amazing things that the universe has to offer.

Yes, I remember it like it was yesterday. It's still as deep within in and as fierce even. I count myself fortunate to have met you. And I always will. You among other true friends are what has made this life as magical and enchanting as it is. I know I haven't yet even begun to scratch the surface of all you know.

I'm still eager to seek Truth. And to listen to your wisdom as you share it with not only myself, but other Truth seekers who come here, and not by accident, as some may think.

A lot of Thanks for your reply

A lot of skeptics forget this: lack of probe is not probe of the opposite. Its so good to hear somebody who is willing to consider ideas and follow a real logic system.

Thank-you ... I just wish I could offer you some kind of merit badge for tackling the whole 17pages.

Anymore questions just fire away ... I love this thread ... and the people who have taken part in it ... 99% of them have been intelligent participants.

I don't think you can dismiss these fleeting glimpses as your mind playing tricks on you, and you said yourself that you are often drawn towards gazing up at the beautiful night sky and feeling homesick....I don't believe in coincidences, never have done.

I truly believe that Earth is not our real home, and that souls only reincarnate here in order to learn various lessons so that they can progress to higher levels. Earth is a school of sorts.

Well how about that!

I was not expecting you to say that, but I think we've all heard people say at one time or another that if reincarnation were real they would love to come back as a dog or a cat and have an easy life.

Fascinating stuff Woody, I appreciate your replies.

I literally have chills and goosebumps while reading through this thread.

I have always, always, since childhood, had amazing, full-length dreams of people, places, and events that I have never in my current llifetime experienced. In the past few years there have been cycles of my life when I would revisit certain areas -- like neighborhoods (walking down city streets) or buildings that always look the same inside....

If anyone is interested in the Akashic Record Reading, I had one done here:

www.akashicrecordreading.com...

that was interesting... It did mention that I was "not originally from here", so to speak --- and I would tend to go with the theory that Earth is like a school or class or boot camp of sorts because it is *so* difficult here.


I've read many of the authors listed here and enjoyed Brian Weiss's account of happening upon past-life regression while doing regular hypnosis.

If you subscribe to the theory that we are all here as a training ground, then we can start to see the big-picture vision of our life as being another (and another, and another) opportunity to set things right and make the scales balance.

Thanks for starting out this thread. Bookmarked...

I was pleased to have found this thread, as I have been feeling an increasing urgency to somehow be able to communicate with the other levels of consciousness in my own mind.. ie: subconsciousness and unconsciousness. I do believe that there is an enormous amount of knowledge, perpaps acquired from as far back as the beginnng of humanity... (just a guess).

I believe that the concept of a Universal Consciousness is probably the most plausable I've heard concerning "God", creation, etc... and I think that there might be some difference between my quest to learn how to communicate with my subconscious and unconscious mind... in order to be able to have access to what I can only imagine is locked away in there.. that I can only imagine that while some might be very frightening, I'm sure that it is not all frightening, and that if I could unlock that knowledge into my conscious mind, I believe that I would understand so much more about myself and those I have met.. and humanity itself.. as well as the chnce to be able to know.. to remember my past experiences, so I could consciously learn from them, and make better decisions and make them more confidently.

I do have a personal problem with the concept of using this knowledge (as I see advertised so many places) in order to acquire monetary and / or material gain. But then again, maybe that's just me. But actually, my current problem is that no matter how many books, aritcles, you tubes I watch on the subject, I've yet to see anything that actually gives any sort of instructions that explain HOW one is to go about accessing the deeper levels of consciousness. Only a whole bunch of information regarding how rewarding it is after this has been attained.

If anyone has information regarding HOW an enthustiastic beginner would go about accessing the deeper recesses of the mind I would be ever so appreciative....
TIA

I think eevee, that you already know I was trying to make light of the night sky stuff ... in reality I do take it a lot more seriously ... and I don't believe in coincidence either ! It'sjust that at the moment I'm not absolutely certain of the best approach to take on a public forum.

It's a failing of mine, if I'm honest with you ... that I feel part of my purpose (this time around), is to help people open their minds to the potential of the 'real' world (and by that I do not simply mean the planet we dwell on at this time) ... I use the term metaphorically.

There are many subjects like this one, where you find people shut down instantly because they totally dismiss the possibility ... and that is fine ... it's not my job to convert people to a different way of thinking.

I do however, believe that if such subjects are presented in the correct context ...then these same people do not dismiss so hastily.

I always strive in subjects of this nature to present them in a solid and realistic way as opposed to a new-age ... fluffy way. Because I myself am neither new-age nor fluffy ... I'm a very grounded person ... and I know that these things are as real as anything that you can see, touch, smell, taste or hear.

Hey there mdear, I'm pleased you enjoyed the thread.

I like your theory ... in fact I adhere to something very similar. The book I am writing at the moment (The Atlantean Analysis), is not just another book proclaiming to know where a sunken city/continent lies ... I have a slightly different idea about the whole Atlantis concept (but that's a whole other thread maybe)

But the subtitle of this other book is actually ... 'Laboratory Earth - Experiment Man' ... so you may have some idea from that, of the line I take ... and you might be interested to know that the content came to me via my second traverse into 'spontaneous' pastlife recall.

Woody

For some reason I have always had the recurring memory of being some sort of warrior, in multiple time periods, since I was a child. These memories led me to joining the Army. I have also had frequent lucid dreams, deja vu involving dreams, and incredible experiences with astral projection and communication within my self. I have only been meditating regularly for about a year now and by my own judgment have progressed quickly.

It does sound like the meditation is progressing well ... you obviously have a natural talent for it.

However, it was the 'life theme' that interested me in your post eg; 'Warrior'

I too have noticed a theme in my own past and present life memories. For me it tends to be a magickally, theraputic vent (helping people), for example;

1st set of memories I was a local wise-woman (herbalist/midwife etc)

2nd set of memories I was an Egyptian Temple Priestess (again involved herbs)

3rd set of memories I was a Blackfoot Medicine Woman

Only my 4th set of memories deviate from this pattern when I was an Edwardian Archaeology Enthusiast.

However, the theme that follows ALL my lifetimes (including this one), is that I was never reared to adulthood by my biological parents.

This lifetime I am a witch (herbs) and a therapist.

Interesting that you had noticed a common theme in your own memories.

I wonder if others have noticed this too ?

Woody

Perhaps it has something to do with the true nature of our soul and the job it is meant to perform in this reality? None of what I have experienced stems from any past life regression at all only from what randomly pops up into my head from time to time. I would like to know how I would go about having a past life regression session done to me, only thing is I have a week and a half before I ship to Basic Combat Training.
