my past life

... if i had one. anyone know wat is was?

 

I was a Buddist monk living in a cave in my last life. We studied under a venerable master. A female friend did a past life regression and found out she was a Russian male soldier in WW2. She saw herself get shot and die by some railroad tracks.

 

I have some intuition which is getting out from my feelings and experiences in this life. In different words -flashbacks. But I don´t explore who I was.

Like somebody said, it´s not possible who you was before, but who you are now. Disability of seeing your past lives is not fortune. It must have some important reason, my guess.

 

Sometimes the spirits leave this question as a exercise for the student, lostification.

Ask yourself this: Do you find comfort in being lost? Can you conceive a reality in which you know and understand the answers?

If so, let you mind dwell on this reality, and the answers will come.

 

You can find them for yourself. Google "Past Life Regression". It may take time, effort, and entheogens, but it can be done sober too.

I was a Confederate solider, then became a spy against them. I was a doctor.Sailor on a whale fishing boat, and fought with the captian eventually killing him.A teacher of english, and math, and later went blind, and had to learn to read brail. A run-away slave who refused to be a slave. A man imprisoned for a crime I did not commit.

 

When I first started hanging in this forum, an angel here told me I should consider past lives. I didn't know how to do that, but I left my mind open and waited. Soon after, one evening while dozing on the commuter train on my way home from work, I had a dream/vision - a man in his 60's, straight, white hair gathered in a topknot, with a facial expression exuding spiritual authority and earthly power, and a goodly portion of prissiness and control...I asked my spirit guide, "Who?" She answered, "You."

If you keep asking, you will receive, and understanding will eventually bloom.

 

so where do i get one of these spirit guides

 

You probably already have a spirit guide. I think you just need to become aware of the fact. Meditation. Prayer. Listen closely.

 

You DO Have a spirit guide. Maybe up to seven. A spirit guide is with you from the beginning to the end, will ALWAYS guide you as best they can, will ALWAYS only love and care for you, and will NEVER leave you. Sometimes they might not answer, but that may be because you are not in the right state of mind, or because their advice would be fruitless to you, or it is a test etc etc.

I'm a believer that reality is a subjective experience of oneself...that your,mine and their lives are all the same...I will be you, you will be me and we all end up the same. Or maybe thats my justification for gently caressing myself so much

 

I agree, separation is an illusion. Underneath the illusion I am you, you are me; same life, different experience in form.
One life, many forms.

 

since when did this happen :O

 

lostification .... like i said 'underneath the illusion' or to put it another way 'behind the mask of who we think we are', there is but one conciousness, one awareness, one spirit, one life.

 

Something close in description (all experiences of I )you will find in autobiographic writings of Borges.
Though, if you read carefully, he didn't mean it literally.


P.S. In school you are taught a subject, then tested by a method whereby you have four ready answers , all you have to do is chose the right one.
Isn't it neat?

Eventually whole world in your perception is divided into "four".
Everything is classified, categorized.
All you need to know in matters most complex is just an algorythm , and you feel like a God.

What a false, debilitating way to learn how to perceive!
In nature, the range of rays is so much broader, the lines never precisely cut.

Confined in a nutshell, you imagine it to be the whole universe...

 

somebody on this forum told me that i walked with jesus, and was one of the buddha's disciples. I also know that my most recent past life was that of a fairy...

 

I sometimes have that i pick up a familiar athmosphere, or feeling, that i never experienced myself, really weird. I do believe that when we are born life energy from 'the source' is beamed down into us, and when we die we go back to the source, together with our memories, knowledge, experiences. So i guess its possible to experience something in life that comes familiar.

 

I understand that 'the source' is actually who we are, and even when we identify with our individual form and personality, our personal history and story, our name, gender, job, nationality ect ... that 'the source' is still there experiencing it all, watching it all and witnessing it all from within us. So we don't need to die for our experience to be 'uploaded', if you like, to the source; the source is experiencing and witnessing it all directly as we live 'our lives'. That 'dying' is simply letting go of an individual identity for a mutch broader identity as 'everything'; that we don't 'become spirit' when we die, or literally 'return to the source' when we die, because we already are spirit, already are the source. So dying is letting go of a transient identity and form which was bought about by a belief, a thought, that we were separate. So in this sense dying is simply remembering who you really are. YOU havn't died at all,... an identity has died, fear and it's resulting separation has died, a thought form has dissolved because the incessant mind chatter that was keeping it alive ...stopped; the identifying with form stopped. Form hasn't gone anywhere, our bodies are real enough but our mind are not holding us captive in identifying with it anymore. The world of form doesn't dissappear but becomes less dense and solid ... becomes transparent.
You've remembered the source or spirit or awareness as your true identity and as such you have witnessed ALL experience of all 'lives'. All lives are yours and all past lives are yours.

Someone once told me "Your life is not your own.", they may as well have also said 'Your past lives are not your own'.


...get my drift? :ack2:

 

awesome, could be very true. i do wonder if the source 'could get corrupted' by hate and destructive behaviour and thougts. Take for example the hippy movement, perhaps the reason why it had spread so easy, and all the talk about a 'universal feeling' was because of good input to the source.

 

What you call "corruption" is the fundamental characteristic of the nature.
Everything in nature is "corrupted" and it is the way of existence, as far as I can observe (just watch few of the animal planet and discovery channel programs, to get very quick educational boost).

I know that I fare worse, for the most part , because I am not as corrupted and not as "bad" as I would have to be in order to finish on the other side of the fence.
I consider it to be some major failure of my organism , one which can bring very dire consequences, and i find no other way to describe it than my biological failure.

Now at least I have an intelectual courage to acknowledge it and will not make myself believe the opposite just to make myself feel good.

What I don't like in these latest Buddist teachings (like one shared by liquidlight, and nothing personal liquidlight) is that they, in effect, have this "feel good" element embedded in their teachings, element which does not objectively correspond to observed reality.
It only partially reflects reality but then turns around and puts into it what is not actually observed out there.
I understand that it is a religion, not a science, and if it makes someone happy then so be it.
Just not something I would ever follow.
