This was the first topic concerned to paranormal to call my attention. It was reincarnation that 'put' me in the middle of this mysterious world, full of new things to discover, new and unusual situations to live. Some people don't believe on it, some religious don't accept it at all. As I said during all this essay, I respect all kind of thoughts. I just.. I just do have my own.
I have read many times that the most common thing that happens to people in what concern to this, is the 'deja vu', the sensation of remembering a place you have never visited before. When you arrive on it, all things seem familiar to you. It is a strange feeling, it is as if all that images were there on your mind, at a place you have never been conscious about. Just like a cellar full of things of a house you just bought from other person.
At Orient, where people are immersed in a culture that accepts the reincarnation as a natural fact, many of them can remember their past lives. This does not happen in flashes, but in a whole, specially when they are young, teenagers or children. It was when I was a child, 13 years old, that I started having my own flash memories of past. Would it be because it is a little easier to believe on these things when we are children? Possibly. When we were not kind of programmed to only believe on rational things and close the doors of our soul to what cannot be explained (at least yet) so easy by reason, at least the way we know it. When we are children, our hearts are pure and we are just starting to learn that there are things to fear. The society didn't marked us with its values. This is what happens frequently at this side of the world and some of us do not keep on carrying through life the rememberings. However, some do, and it was what happened to me. The majority of reports about past lives are strong and related to tormented lives or traumatic or very special facts. Don't people remember their 'normal' lives? Sure they do, but think about yourself right now, isn't that true that is much more easier to remember of the things that were more important to you? Your son's birth, your first day going to school or the first time you fall in love? Not only good things, but the bad things also. It is the same with your past life. Some people bring to this life problems they had in the past and have no idea of it. For example, having fear of water without knowing why because you almost drowned on past. I've heard a lot about alternative therapies that help people based on this, they make people remember past in a very relaxed way and to loose the traumas. There are lots of interesting works being done all around and I am sure you also heard about it. But even if it was something traumatic, remembering past lives is something amusing.
The past lives memory are
rememberings, but when you invoke them you are invoking also a whole thing,
people that lived with you at the time, that feelings and so on. You are
living again that time, it is like transportating yourself to that period
of time. It is never like simply remembering what you were yesterday, it
is much more strong. I'm thinking again about the question past-present-future.
When you remember these things you live it all again. You travel to that
time. Wouldn't past, present and future be only different dimensions? I
don't know. As I said, this is a question very difficult to answer. But
if you asked me my opinion, I would say that I believe it is, because of
everything I have seen, read and specially felt. It is very similar to
an Astral Trip and there is something undeniable about it, it IS like travelling
through dimensions, you feel it exactly like this.
I remember three of my past
lives. Two are more clear to me yet than a third one. Maybe this one wasn't
nothing that interesting :) One of them was really traumatic
and it is about this one that I remember more, many details. Something
interesting about it, it is that I remember many good things also.
Once me and a friend of mine made a kind of Astral Trip telepathically connected. Don't say you never
heard something like that is possible, we haven't heard it also. At the
middle of it I couldn't control myself and started remembering things of
this past life of mine. It was incredible because my friend could feel
it too. She said everything that was happening before I told her.
She 'lived' there a little with me. It was not scaring at all, not for
me not even for her. Although it didn't last too much, it was unforgettable.
Well, it is not my intention talk about my own experiences here, just as
I said before, it is to speak a little about travelling through dimensions
and maybe get in touch with people that have similar feelings to mine and
that are out there, wanting to talk about it, just like me. BUT if
you want to tell me about yours, or hear about my own, or change ideas,
I will be happy to hear from you. Welcome to the the world of mixed feelings,
mixed thoughts, mixed minds! Welcome to the world of mixed... dimensions...
