Throughout the centuries, eastern philosophers and holy men (Priests) have been revered through the Eastern world.  Men like Ghandi, Confucious, and Shoulin.  Now, in the modern (Western) world, there word is either taken literally or brushed off as nonsense.  Nostradamus said the world would end in 2012, however, he did not say how.  We, as a race, can decide whether he is correct or not.  We not only have the power to destroy ourselves, but the power to save ourselves as well.

Eastern Philosophy teaches us how to become at peace with each other, as well as, at peace with nature.  Think of the Earth as a living Entity, a Being as youi will.  It is getting angry at how we’re treating it.  Destroying it’s forests, endangering species, experimenting on not only animals, but ourselves as well.  Now, over the past decade, look at all the earthquakes that are coming about, all the hurricanes with massive destruction in their wake (i.e. Katrina), all the volcanoes erupting after centuries of lying dormant.  Yes, we are destroying ourselves, but mostly because we are destroying nature.

If we all practiced Eastern Principle, we might get along better.  No more wars, famine, unnatural deaths.  Herbal medicing, from the East, as well as, from Native Americans have been proven to work better than most modern medicines.  That is because these cultures are closer to nature and feel no need for dominance.  The just want to exist in peace, and let evolution take its course.

Peace is what we’re all after, but somewhere along the timeline, we got off track and began believing that force is the only way to get peace.  We all have to live together and share the same planet, so why can’t we do it in peace.  Buddhists believe in reincarnation, but why would we want to come into the next life if it turns out worst than the one we left behind?

Sometimes, concern children also express the wish to eat alien food, or to wear the cloth that culturally different, this unusual from of behavior is called Philias. Many children with past life memories show talents they had in their previous lives. Girls reborn as boys may wish to dress as girls rather than boys. In such above cases, known as human oddities, parents could not be blamed for their children’s behavior. Doctors are now beginning to believe human oddities are not the result of hormones defect, but the real truth is slowly coming to light. The experience led Dr. Stevenson to think reincarnate may be real, and he imported greater conviction to this theory.

Tlingit Indians of Alaska and Tibetans in most unusual scenario, are believing in reincarnation, to be reborn to a couple, there are  some instances available and confirmed by Dr. Stevenson that reincarnation of this kind is happening.

The prophetic dreams are particularly happening and prolific in Burma and among Alaskan Indians with reincarnation belief.

Searching for identifying marks is common, among cultures that believe reincarnation, especially among Tlingit Indians and the Igbos of Nigeria. This practice and belief is a rampant is many West African tribes.

Sometimes children between the ages two and four experiences a double existence; talking about their past lives, when they attend the age of seven to nine, they forget all these. Such children tend to consider their previous parents as real parents, than their present ones.

Dr. Stevenson observed, children who died an unnatural death, developed phobias. Take an example: if they had drowned in the past life, in the present life they had aqua-phobia -fear of water. Those who remembered having died in road accidents, were sometimes afraid of road travel.

The birthmarks of the previous life may or may not be true but there are many instances popping in and out, here and there about these existences and this matter is still between science and dream.

The birth marks of a previous life is through an academics research into reincarnation using scientific methods throws up startling facts with documentary proof. Dr. Stevenson, who passed away in 2007, published articles in the journal of the American Society for Physical Research, about children who remembered past lives. It is a product of scientific research into reincarnation. He published his famous book Reincarnation and Biology in 1997.

Small Children And Past Lives

Believe it or not, kids don’t make up stuff. For example, highly respected scientists, investigators and researchers studied millions of memories of young children between the age of 3-9, who had vivid memories of previous lives, and spoke about past lives in great detail. 

Hypnosis and regression therapy

Hypnosis has never been a valuable tool to find out about past lives. Hypnosis can reach the unconscious mind, but it’s believed that the information kept there by our brains is not real. It has been discovered that the hypnosis can create false memories. That doesn’t mean, however, that this technique should be discarded. If the past life information given by the person under hypnosis can be verified by doing some research, their stories can be considered more serious if there’s some evidence to back up their claims. 

Deja Vu or Spontaneous Recall

It’s hard to explain to others that you get the feeling that you’ve been somewhere before. There are all sorts of experiences and many people tend to believe they are real–they’ve lived before in other bodies, cultures, and centuries.

Conclusion

Past life recall is one of the most bizarre cases of paranormal phenomena. As yet, we haven’t been able to prove or disprove the evidence. Many scientists are unsure whether the information given by some people was somehow given by the subconscious. Unfortunately, there is the possibility of fraud and it’s very important to be skeptical about claims, but the stories will always be fun to read and hear. 

It was a car accident. Nothing particularly remarkable, but fatal nonetheless. You left behind a wife and two children. It was a painless death. The EMTs tried their best to save you, but to no avail. Your body was so utterly shattered you were better off, trust me.

And that’s when you met me.

“What… what happened?” You asked. “Where am I?”

“You died,” I said, matter-of-factly. No point in mincing words.

“There was a… a truck and it was skidding…”

“Yup,” I said.

“I… I died?”

“Yup. But don’t feel bad about it. Everyone dies,” I said.

You looked around. There was nothingness. Just you and me. “What is this place?” You asked. “Is this the afterlife?”

“More or less,” I said.

“Are you god?” You asked.

“Yup,” I replied. “I’m God.”

“My kids… my wife,” you said.

“What about them?”

“Will they be all right?”

“That’s what I like to see,” I said. “You just died and your main concern is for your family. That’s good stuff right there.”

You looked at me with fascination. To you, I didn’t look like God. I just looked like some man. Or possibly a woman. Some vague authority figure, maybe. More of a grammar school teacher than the almighty.

“Don’t worry,” I said. “They’ll be fine. Your kids will remember you as perfect in every way. They didn’t have time to grow contempt for you. Your wife will cry on the outside, but will be secretly relieved. To be fair, your marriage was falling apart. If it’s any consolation, she’ll feel very guilty for feeling relieved.”

“Oh,” you said. “So what happens now? Do I go to heaven or hell or something?”

“Neither,” I said. “You’ll be reincarnated.”

“Ah,” you said. “So the Hindus were right,”

“All religions are right in their own way,” I said. “Walk with me.”

You followed along as we strode through the void. “Where are we going?”

“Nowhere in particular,” I said. “It’s just nice to walk while we talk.”

“So what’s the point, then?” You asked. “When I get reborn, I’ll just be a blank slate, right? A baby. So all my experiences and everything I did in this life won’t matter.”

“Not so!” I said. “You have within you all the knowledge and experiences of all your past lives. You just don’t remember them right now.”

I stopped walking and took you by the shoulders. “Your soul is more magnificent, beautiful, and gigantic than you can possibly imagine. A human mind can only contain a tiny fraction of what you are. It’s like sticking your finger in a glass of water to see if it’s hot or cold. You put a tiny part of yourself into the vessel, and when you bring it back out, you’ve gained all the experiences it had.

“You’ve been in a human for the last 48 years, so you haven’t stretched out yet and felt the rest of your immense consciousness. If we hung out here for long enough, you’d start remembering everything. But there’s no point to doing that between each life.”

“How many times have I been reincarnated, then?”

“Oh lots. Lots and lots. An in to lots of different lives.” I said. “This time around, you’ll be a Chinese peasant girl in 540 AD.”

“Wait, what?” You stammered. “You’re sending me back in time?”

“Well, I guess technically. Time, as you know it, only exists in your universe. Things are different where I come from.”

“Where you come from?” You said.

“Oh sure,” I explained “I come from somewhere. Somewhere else. And there are others like me. I know you’ll want to know what it’s like there, but honestly you wouldn’t understand.”

“Oh,” you said, a little let down. “But wait. If I get reincarnated to other places in time, I could have interacted with myself at some point.”

“Sure. Happens all the time. And with both lives only aware of their own lifespan you don’t even know it’s happening.”

“So what’s the point of it all?”

“Seriously?” I asked. “Seriously? You’re asking me for the meaning of life? Isn’t that a little stereotypical?”

“Well it’s a reasonable question,” you persisted.

I looked you in the eye. “The meaning of life, the reason I made this whole universe, is for you to mature.”

“You mean mankind? You want us to mature?”

“No, just you. I made this whole universe for you. With each new life you grow and mature and become a larger and greater intellect.”

“Just me? What about everyone else?”

“There is no one else,” I said. “In this universe, there’s just you and me.”

You stared blankly at me. “But all the people on earth…”

“All you. Different incarnations of you.”

“Wait. I’m everyone!?”

“Now you’re getting it,” I said, with a congratulatory slap on the back.

“I’m every human being who ever lived?”

“Or who will ever live, yes.”

“I’m Abraham Lincoln?”

“And you’re John Wilkes Booth, too,” I added.

“I’m Hitler?” You said, appalled.

“And you’re the millions he killed.”

“I’m Jesus?”

“And you’re everyone who followed him.”

You fell silent.

“Every time you victimized someone,” I said, “you were victimizing yourself. Every act of kindness you’ve done, you’ve done to yourself. Every happy and sad moment ever experienced by any human was, or will be, experienced by you.”

You thought for a long time.

“Why?” You asked me. “Why do all this?”

“Because someday, you will become like me. Because that’s what you are. You’re one of my kind. You’re my child.”

“Whoa,” you said, incredulous. “You mean I’m a god?”

“No. Not yet. You’re a fetus. You’re still growing. Once you’ve lived every human life throughout all time, you will have grown enough to be born.”

“So the whole universe,” you said, “it’s just…”

“An egg.” I answered. “Now it’s time for you to move on to your next life.”

And I sent you on your way.

Plato told the story that all humans once had four arms and four legs and one head with two faces. In the story Zeus cut them in half forcing them to try to find their other.

If we are to believe that souls are real, and that humans have them, we must realize a simple thing about human population; It’s growing! In fact the human population has more than doubled in the past 30 years and is somewhere around 7 billion. Consider that only 200 years ago the population was around 1 billion and you see that there are way more souls now, than there were then.

Have you ever heard it said that a person is a “very old soul”? This implies that souls return to earth time and time again to experience life in a new body. This notion is common among those who believe in reincarnation, but indeed if there were only a limited number of souls there would either be a limited number of people, or a lot of soulless people walking around.

To understand more about soul mates we can assume that souls have been around for a long time and as needed “Zeus” divides them up upon their return to earth, condemned to search for their other.

We can see that as populations have exploded more and more soul mate divisions would have been required. When searching for your match in 7 billion it is fairly unlikely to find your perfect soul mate, but it is highly probably to find a very similar soul mate as the result of an earlier split (the equivalent of finding a cousin let’s say).

In the chart we see how soul mates may be formed, soulmates being the result of the splitting of an earlier soul, just as in the philosopher Plato’s tale. If you look the two people as “A” would be perfect soul mates, as would be the people in B, C, and D. Either one of the A people would also be quite compatible with the B people, and to some extent the C and D people, if we carried this into further generations of souls we would see that there would be some quite incompatible souls. This shows us not only why some soulmates are not always the opposite sex, but are sometimes same sex, good friends.

As well it must be said that your “soulmate” is not necessarily your best choice for a partner, you might just be too much alike.

How to Identify a SoulMate

A soulmate will have fairly similar views as yourself, they will be the person who finishes your sentences, and knows what you are thinking.

Is the Universe Trying to Keep People Apart?

Philosophy, the Meaning of Life

If Reincarnation is Real

One of the methods often used is to keep a journal of those thoughts and emotions which come to you, no matter how small that do not fit with the experiences you have had in your current lifetime. Even the smallest things may be a helpful clue to figuring out more about your past lives. For instance, phobias or an attraction to a certain place you may not ever have been. A journal is a good way to spot patterns which may point to a past life.

You can start off your past lives journal by making a list of likes and dislikes, foods, places and cultures you seem particularly attracted to and other such details about yourself. Any talents you seem to possess without having had to practice should be noted; basically, everything which makes you who you are should be here; this will help you to identify patterns later on as you add to the journal.

You should also write down any details from your dreams which seem relevant. As you do this though, remember that your dreams will also contain a lot of things which are drawn from your life in the present.

You could also try past life regression.

This usually involves going to a trained past life regression therapist. These professionals are experienced in hypnotherapy and guiding you through a past life experience as well as helping you to make sense of the experience afterwards. Self hypnosis may also be able to help you have this experience.

Meditation is another technique which is used to learn about past lives.

Many of us find it difficult at first to experience a past life regression through meditation. Since we are aware that our minds can play tricks on us and often skeptical about the idea of regression, it is not uncommon to have to learn to overcome your tendency to disbelieve yourself.

When you meditate, you might feel as if you are daydreaming, but some of the information which comes through as you calm your mind may be important. Be sure to write down everything which comes to you in your journal so you can compare it against the larger picture you are assembling there.

Many people find meditation aids like a mandala or other focal point, incense, music or other accompaniments to be helpful. There are also recordings you can use including water sounds and other soothing audio, as well as guided meditation tapes.

Then there are binaural beats.

These are specially designed recordings which contain frequencies which are tailored to help listeners quickly reach a deep meditative state. These can be very helpful in training your mind for meditation; but whatever method you choose, make sure to meditate in a place which is quiet and where you will not be distracted from the task at hand.

You have to completely relax both body and mind. If everyday worries intrude on your meditation, acknowledge these thoughts and move past them. You may not succeed the first time you meditate, but you will soon get the hang of it and you can start to seek answers to the questions you have.

Using past life regression techniques can also assist you in dealing with problems you have in the present day. Many people find that they have had the same people around them in more than one lifetime; the past may hold clues to managing interpersonal relationships in the present.

Reincarnation in some form or another is a part of many religious traditions. Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and Sikhs all believe in the concept of Karma. To put this concept into the simplest possible terms, it is the principle that the actions you take in your present life determine the circumstances of your next life. Knowing more about your past lives can help you to live a better life in the present.

The most important thing is to come to this experience with an open mind. You have to be able to accept information and be willing to learn from your past in order to improve the way you live now.

Experts say that re-experiencing some of the events of a past life can be a powerful tool for overcoming mental blocks and giving you a better outlook towards your life and the world around you.

When you can deal with the problems of your past, you may be able to make positive changes by knowing where you have gone wrong in past lives and make better decisions in the present as a result. A regression can show you the way towards living a better life with a greater degree of kindness to yourself and others.

You may also discover latent talents which you had not suspected that you possessed. For example, you may learn that you were an accomplished violinist in a past life; and upon giving it a try, you find you have a natural aptitude for the instrument! This is the sort of experience which can really enrich your life.

Past life regression offers a number of benefits to anyone who is willing to listen to what their own personal history has to tell them. As long as you approach it with an open mind, the results can be impressive.

Reincarnation is the accepting in the clearing of souls and reincarnation and birth, based on the ascertainment of annular aeon in nature. Talking about reincarnation and activation that we alive abounding lives, while conceivably not accomplishing airy maturity, ablution and enlightenment. Research shows that today, one division of European nations accept in reincarnation. In America and Canada, the statistics are higher, and the East is the reincarnation of the base of all religious beliefs, whether it be Hinduism, Buddhism or Taoism.

Although it is claimed that the abstraction of reincarnation came from the east (referred to the Upanishads in 8 aeon BC), in the West we additionally accept actual early, in all the cults of attributes and pre-Christian religions. It is argued that its accepting in the West accompanying with the all-embracing advance ezoterizma although he and his alone acknowledgment to the advance of consumerism and materialism total.

Proponents of reincarnation accept that casual through abounding lives (incarnations) is all-important for airy growth, ablution and final deliverance. In some means they are Christian affliction abode on the alluvial plane, and because the bulk of suffering, there is about and hell. In fact, according to this accepting in a way anybody creates his own hell. We canyon through adversity to purify, absolution the apparition and afterpiece to all-powerful perfection. K God can alone be absolutely antiseptic and aware souls.

Not anybody agrees about what is affective into fresh bodies and fresh birth. The better allotment of rinkarnacionista believes that it is the soul, some bodies anticipate it’s personality with the acquaintance gained, and some anticipate it is the animal spirit. I do not anticipate that reincarnation is a contemporary fad or abstruse fiction. This abstraction is as old as animal anticipation and the ancestry of his consciousness.

as a person and also know who they are today and have been in the past.

Ignoring the details of his past life would be easy to keep your personal growth and success.

Extensive research on the regression of life has become a tool to help people with emotional disorders and is considered a

powerful tool in this area.

Regression of life has many benefits and a common clearing and healing of trauma. There are two things we can do. We try to

change it and two is that the front panel.

If you use past life regression, add an option in the mix, and is able to return to the last car, afraid to move forward and

can be seen from the higher self.

A past life regression know that life began in Fixed problem, and carry the capacity to act as an inner guide.

A past life regression can also help you write a contract of former lives. Karma is a marvel of something that always comes

back to us. When it comes to someone who may have something to do with a promise or agreement with the person in a past life.

To be free of this agreement or rewrite is necessary to go back to the original date of the agreement. In most cases this can

be achieved by means of an internal guide. You will then make a decision whether to repair or modify the agreement to help

you with your current situation.

The return to a past life regression past lives has a significant advantage. The verification and country.

People feel the earth, after he came back to past life regression is not uncommon. They become more conscious of themselves

as a person and what they are. This is mainly due to the fact that we now know they have talent, relationships and desires

and passions and qualities also safe.

This knowledge is powerful and help them accept who they are as a person and achieve a more balanced life.

Experts agree that if someone really wants to improve or enhance their own lives, they have to practice past life regression.

This will help you remember who you were in your past life and teach him to be more satisfied this time.

If you believe it or not, even if you think that the events and feelings you are experiencing is a product of his imagination

a catharsis begins to open minds and distribution of barriers for their achievements and goals in this.

Allows to briefly outline the benefits to the regression of life to you, including the ability to cope with the traumatic

events of the past, so that forward movement in the present. By treating the problems of past lives to better cope better

decisions today, thanks to the experience we had in the past.

As I like history repeats itself, if you know your history can be changed. Maybe in a past life that was very dishonest. With

this knowledge and awareness to remember who has suffered the punishment can be fraudulent, can help you change your way and

not be the same in this life.

The main advantage of past life regression is to know who you were, and have a better understanding of who you want to be

today. It will give you a more well rounded, full life.

You know that here in this opportunity, to live a richer and more balanced. To live to their full potential, using all their

talents, skills and expertise. Everything you did not know.

http://www.bestourism.com/items/di/732?title=Karni-Mata-Temple&b=124

In one very ornate and isolated Hindu temple in India, the worst nightmares of many city dwellers in the US are treated as gods by worshipping people, temple floors a living mass of small, brown shapes, as rats by the thousands scamper over the feet of visitors, searching out food and drink.

http://www.bestourism.com/items/di/732?title=Karni-Mata-Temple&b=124

Small north-western town, Deshnoke, is the site of this  famous Karni Mata temple of Rajastan, constructed over a century ago, by Maharaja Ganga Singh in tribute to rat goddess, Karni Mata, with intricate marble panels lining both entrance and floors,with lots of silver and gold decorations.

  http://www.lovethesepics.com/2011/04/holy-rats-karni-mata-rat-temple-32-pics/

The 20,000 plus rats are holy animals to the faithful, known as kabbas, to which people travel great distances to pay homage. Folklore tells that Karni Mata was a 14th century, mystic matriarch, an incarnation of goddess of power and victory, Durga. When a child of a clansmen died, she tried bringing it back to life.

  http://www.lovethesepics.com/2011/04/holy-rats-karni-mata-rat-temple-32-pics/

Yama, god of death, told Karni Mata that the child had already undergone reincarnation, but made a bargain with her, that from that point on, every member of her tribe would be reborn as a rat, until reincarnated into the tribe. Since the Hindu faith has it that death marks the end of one life chapter,  beginning a new one on the path to Karma, known as samsara, so the rats are royally treated.

  http://www.lovethesepics.com/2011/04/holy-rats-karni-mata-rat-temple-32-pics/

In Hinduism, no dividing line exists, between how gods or goddesses might present themselves on earth, there being nothing to prevent their appearing as fish, birds or even as rats. Hindu royalty seeking greater powers employ local cults for patron goddesses to help them achieve their ambitions, and thus the Karni Mata Temple was established.

  http://www.lovethesepics.com/2011/04/holy-rats-karni-mata-rat-temple-32-pics/

The ultimate blessing from the gods, which any westerner would grimace at, is the eating of food or drinking of water previously sampled by a rat, only the sighting of an albino rat being especially holy, as these at the living the manifestations of  the goddess and her family.

  http://www.lovethesepics.com/2011/04/holy-rats-karni-mata-rat-temple-32-pics/

In this unusual temple, the rodent inhabitants are treated with devotion so complete that if someone accidentally killing one is expected to replace it with another made of gold, or silver, as atonement, and placed reverently in the temple.

  http://www.lovethesepics.com/2011/04/holy-rats-karni-mata-rat-temple-32-pics/

Unbelievably to western viewpoints, in the entire 100+ years of this temple’s existence, not a single case of rat-borne disease has ever been recorded in a human contact. The fact that the rodents tend to die young, often adversely affected by the sumptuous diets they enjoy, can come as no surprise, but the complete devotion of the faithful, for this most obnoxious of creatures, almost certainly will. Royally-treated holy rats, who would ever have thought it possible?

All images with permission

Several religions and philosophies believe that the lives that we are living at this moment are not the only ones that we will have, and there is a belief in the idea of a past life and that we have lived other lives and will continue on this cycle.

Some people have images of the lives that they have lived before, and other people believe that they remember whole segments of their previous lives. Many people remember using hypnosis with a past life regression.

Many people believe that the memories of their past lives are stored within us, and that they can tell us a lot about the type of people we are and the needs that we have in our present life.

There are also other philosophies that say that we should not be able to remember these past lives and that if you do, it is a sign of issues that need to be resolved. Take some time and consider how you feel about either of these philosophies.

Have you ever wondered why you may have thoughts that do not belong to you, or do you ever recall events that never happened to you? This may just be your imagination at work, however other occurrences appear so real and that is not easy to ignore.

Past life hypnosis can be a great help in cases like these. With the guidance of an esteemed past life hypnotist, you will go into a deeply suggestible state where you will be able to open up your subconscious and the things that it is trying to relate to you.

Events that were well buried can fast come to life and you will discover that you can recall incidents more clearly and with a larger degree of completion. You may also be able to remember the theme of your previous life, or even specific details, depending on how clearly you recollect the facts. Some people see that they can even recognize people from their past lives, which are in their current lives too.

The question becomes, why would anyone want to undergo past life hypnosis? For some people, past life hypnosis is something that is a matter of curiosity. They want to know if they are simply imagining the things that their brain presents them with or if it simply their imagination.

Past lives also teach a good lesson to some people. They remind them to be more compassionate, or to live life for all its worth, or to show respect for people. There are lessons that are being hinted at, and the more clearly they can be heard, the better!

If you are in a position where you are curious about past lives, or you think there are lessons that you need to recall, then think about how past life hypnosis may help you!
