Past life deaths?

Anyone know how they died in a past life? What about learning more about past life deaths?
I was talking to a very insightful friend of mine who creeps me out sometimes because he gets things so dead on or knows so much.
We were talking about how I should go out and see the world... and of course, he told me "you need a car." Which is what everyone tells me.
To which I responded that the whole idea of driving giant chunks of metal full of flammable liquids at high speeds scares the crap out of me.
He thought a moment, looked at me and said, "Well that's because you died in a fire in a past life."
That sent chills down my spine for some reason.
I asked for more details. He told me that in a past life someone tricked me as some form of revenge and lured me into some trap involving oil, fire, hot metal, and me burning to death... Which is perhaps why i have trouble trusting people now.
what chilled me to the bone was it felt so dead on, it felt so true. Like, when he said that, it was as if that horrible memory came back to me. It did make sense; I'm very afraid of fire, hot oil, hot metal, explosions, etc.
of course, i try to take it with a grain of salt, but it got me thinking.
What about you guys?

 

well that info should be a relief to you then, what are the chances you're going to die the same way twice?!

on another note, I think everyone has trouble trusting to some degree...its human nature.

 

i wish i knew.

 

Shot in 1918 during WWI, forced to regenerate in 1984 due to accidentally blowing up 20% of the universe while in the process of saving it. Nasty business, regeneration...

 

most any fear or blockage we carry with us now that cannot be explained stems from past life experience....there are lots of good regression exercises you can use, but it is recommended you have someone there to guide you through it and back, for we can sometimes get too caught up in the feelings and memories of the past and have a hard time coming out of it alone

 

Thanks. More than anything I just want to learn about what my past life was like- who was I, what did I do, etc.

 

ask and you shall be shown - just need to pay attention to the subtle signs after you ask

also, think about what cultures and eras you're attracted to the most - the more you research and study about them, little bits of info will begin to trickle in and give you more pieces of the puzzle to put together....it may take a little longer, but i feel it's more gentle on the psyche than a full blown regression

 

hmmm. Very interested in Asian, especially Japanese culture and Geisha. Oh! And I remember reading that Geisha always feared fire as well because it could easily destroy paper homes and kimono. Perhaps that's it? Sappho and greek/roman culture fascinate me as well. I also am beginning to find interest in the 1700s, the fashion of that time, etc. as well as The Renaissance.

 

sounds like you may have gotten around alot! ....you can also see a bit of a timeline developing as you describe it as well....

now you can either immerse yourself in studies of the oldest culture/region you mentioned, or the most recent of those - i've always been an advocate of starting at the "source", the oldest, and working my way up to the present, but i know each person/psyche is different - again, asking to be shown which lifetime/aspect you need to be examining right now can help with that....just remain open to whatever is revealed to you

 

This is becoming very interesting. I think it would be so cool to learn about who I was in past lives. Anyone have any links, advice, or information on this?

 

A hypnotherapist can help from what I hear. Some are legit and some are not, similar to psychics.

Chances are, your friend just knows how to freak you out. And he knows you're gullible and you will believe what he says. There's a lot of people our age afraid to drive. There are people who refuse to do it. They ride bikes, they hop trains. It's okay to be aware of your mortality. Just so long as it doesn't ruin your life in the process.

 

Some years back I visited a wonderful hypnotherapist/psychic named Verna Yater. (Sadly she passed on just last year). Through guided trance I was able to learn quite a lot about my past lives, as well as the reasons for some of my fears. I saw vivid, complex visions and reenactments in my head during the regression, and was able to coherently describe every detail while still under hypnosis. I have an hour's worth of material recorded on cassette tapes.
In one lifetime I saw myself being burnt alive during the witch hunts. This explains both my lifelong fear of fire, as well as my lifelong fascination with witchcraft. (I considered myself a hardcore Wiccan for many years).
In another life I drowned in a tsunami. Some other interesting details in this part of my past life regression point to it being one of the ancient Greek tsunamis. Another psychic (Sandy Smith) randomly told me that I had indeed lived a life in ancient Greece. For many years I've had identical, recurring nightmares about drowning in a huge tidal wave, but without any idea what could have caused me to have these dreams. Ever since the regression, I have not had a single dream about drowning.
One extremely frightening and deep memory I have is of dying in the holocaust as a young girl. In part of the past life regression session I saw myself hiding in a closet. I wasn't completely able to wrap my mind around why I was hiding until earlier this year when I had a very intense episode in the middle of the night that I can only describe as a "flashback". It's possible that the rain that night triggered the flashback, but whatever the case, for over two hours I felt every feeling and emotion I went through during my death in that life. I saw the shabby wood beams of the bunkers over my head, I felt hunger in my stomach, and I heard German voices speaking to me angrily. It sounds absolutely insane, but I am convinced this was all part of a very strong self-induced regression. Since I was a child I've had a very strong interest in the holocaust, to the point of obsession. I never quite understood exactly why such a horrible time in history would interest me at the age of nine, until that night.
I have memories of many other lives, but the previous ones are the only ones in which I remember my death.

 

as i've been able to tap into my dream state more i think i have started to be able to learn something from my dreams. i think in my past life i got shot in the back while being held hostage. i had a super scary/realistic dream that i got shot in the back and i could just feel it and wasn't surprised at it's pain. i woke up scared shit less from that.

 

I believe in past life's in a way but I don't think everyone reincarnates. I mostly have no idea but I stay very open minded to the thought of reincarnation. I do have a friend who's mom does past life readings. She has done them many times for other people before me but does it free of charge. It's just a fun experience for the most part. But she told me that I'm a very old soul. She sees me having many past lives, more so than most people she has given a reading to.

I know a couple of the more memorable lives she told me about was that I was a Jewish boy living during WWII and died of starvation. She said I died young, at about 9 yrs old and I was left alone to starve. I know now that I have a fear of being alone (I know that's a common fear) and I also have a fear of running out of food. If I'm hungry it worries me and I can't allow myself to feel hungry. I obsess over it. I am skinny though but consider myself a glutton. Another thing is throughout my life (this life) I get mistaken as Jewish. There aren't many jewish people in my area but people think I look jewish. lol. I disagree but I have pics in my profile, you can decide for yourself. But my nationality consists of French, English, Polish and a little native american.

The other more memorable past life sounded very fascinating. Probably around the late 1800's, I was a Geisha living in Japan. I would put on stage performances for wealthy men and I think a geisha is like a classy hooker. lol. She also told me that I was an artist on the side. I painted pictures with my sister. she said my mother today was my sister back then and we painted pictures on canvas. She also said that there was a man I was with but he was much older and had a lot of money. I guess I was a gold digger too which I'm not like that in this life. But she was unsure how I died in that life. That one seemed interesting cause I've occasionally had dreams that I was living somewhere in asia. In a few dreams I spoke a different language that sounded japanese. It sounded so perfect in my dream but when I woke up I had no idea what I was saying. I don't necessarily believe that I was those things in a past life and I'm not really skeptical either. But it was fun to get her input. Some things were very interesting.

 

that's the weird thing about my past lives. i haven't the slightest idea how i died in any of them. my birth in some of them either. i just 'remember' (if that's the word for it, and it might not be) living as a functioning adult in/on worlds very much different from this one. i can remember and tell all sorts of things about them, but also, oddly enough, not specifically what i, or the people around me, looked like on them.

i'm real sure though, each was entirely different from each other, as much as from this one. and that's really very distinct from this one. as different as mammals and dragons from each other. each world just entirely different.

 

i have a few memories of different past-lives, but only one where i know how i died... it was my last reincarnation i think, because it was the 1950's (this lifetime i was born in 1962)...

a friend and i had been to a dance and we'd had a great time... we were walking home together when a car pulled over and offered us a lift... because of our high-spirits we accepted, but as soon as the car took a road into woods, we both knew that we had made a bad mistake... there were three men in the car... they took us to woods and we never came out alive.... i don't actually remember my death, but i know i died... my memory won't let me remember any further than the realisation that we had made an awful mistake as we drove into the dark woods.... won't be doing that again!!!
