Past Lives or Reincarnation
I have spoken on this subject before and I recently found some other information which may be of interest to some people.
It has been said that Past lives or reincarnation has been a part of many different Religions or spiritual organisations. These movements are from all walks of life. They include the following.
Hindu traditions.
Buddhism.
Some African tribes include this in their beliefs.
North/ Native American (Indians).
Paganism.
New Age movements.
Past lives is also linked to Norse mythology.
Each culture or belief has its own views and thoughts on the subject for some it been around for thousand of years. In India alone they have strong links that traces past lives back to 800 BCE. By the Upanishads. Again in Tibetan Buddhism. It has been said that once the soul of the passing Lama has passed it will reincarnate into an infant within 9 months.
Not to be left out are the Greeks some ancient Philosophers also believed in past lives too. Some Gnostic groups believe in past lives but this can be sometimes viewed as a negative concept. Again we all need a balance so as with ying and yang. It does not affect the central belief even if its facets are many. This includes some groups burying treasure with them to take forth into the new world or even more simple future lives. Now this may be linked to some of the pharaoh’s tombs and the wealth and family possessions buried with them.
Past lives or the belief of reincarnation is global it reaches both the Northern and Southern Hempshere. In America The Church of Scientology and it followers accept the belief of Past Lives. A strong support of this powerful subject and was a leader in his own right the American “Edgar Cayce.”
Not all religions recognise or acknowledge past lives in their teachings. Islam and most of the present day Christian beliefs reject the concept of them.
This post is not to pass judgement on any one particular belief. I am playing the devils advocate. I am not siding with any of the religious groups I have my own views and I don’t sit and judge anyone for their own beliefs I believe everyone view of any religion has its own merit I do however say that all religions founded on love will be judged by the parties concerned at the time.
I believe the God presence is founded and based on this and it has many facets. For each of us its different but I am sure in principle everyone wants the same thing. Well I hope so.
To continue if you acknowledge a Future life you would probably accept that you had a past. Like in any persons history we talk of the past being what went before the present which is the here and now the future.
So to incarnate the past has to be a part of the present and the future.
This then leads to different views and thoughts again to reincarnation. To have a future you must have had a past.
One of the theories is that you travel through the spiritual plane from one life to another.
I will try however in the next few posts on this subject to bring to your attention some of the other thoughts. Its an interesting subject and I will be putting on the site a mediation that you might want to look at.
Thank you

Continuing Information on Past Lives/ Reincarnation
2010-02-07
Most people question every thing even as children we are why is the sky blue and the grass green and why does even looking at chocolate make me put on weight.
If we take every thing at face value we would all end up walking around like sheep. Now I am not insulting the animal in fact I learnt some information about sheep that states they can remember faces of another sheep for up to 3 years. So when they loose there lambs they not only can call for them but can recognise them even years later if given the chance.
With all my blogs I attempt to make you think yes I use humour but I know that we remember things that stick out and I want to encourage you all to be aware of so many different articles, lesson, and information so you in turn will tell other. Again this goes back to the time before people could read or write. Recipes from family past down from generation to generation stories and traditions that all cultures try to maintain that do get forgotten. Even the bible which was first spoke about over 2000 years ago was told as stories from person to person.
I am not trying to convert anyone to disrespect anyone’s belief or culture what I am trying to do is let each of you make your own mind up and if in your heart you believe what your doing is true you make your own peace in time with your own council and god presence.
Now I want to continue with these weeks thoughts on past lives. Most of you will have felt or remember painful experiences in their lives and many of you will know my views that if you don’t at least acknowledge it can in the long run end up ruling you life and even for some ruining them. This is not talk about forgiveness here that for some may not be an option that may take more than one life time to work though it possible but just because you cant forgive does not make you a bad person. It’s more about the word
ACKNOWLEGE.
This also could be the reason why so many of us need some assistance from some of the healing associations today such as - such psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, counselors, etc.
These groups of professionals were put in place to try and help people deal with stress, worries, fears and pain for some there is no physical signs. Maybe some of you have had those experiences yourself. Often these physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual problems originate in the person’s past lives.
In this remark I mean the pain behind the pain the ache the fear the lack of sleep depression etc. There is no apparent reason for why this started at this particular time place moment in time. There are many people who are trained to help with situations like this a very well known and respected lady being Sylvia Browne.
She has written many wonderful books on the subject she has worked tirelessly for many years to help people from all over the world to understand and heal.
Anyone who is starting out looking for information on this subject would benefit from reading her work she has also done many other consultations and media to promote well being and understanding for so many individuals. I have never met the lady I can only say that I respect and admire the work she has done and she gave me the inspiration to want to help others too thank you.
Example: How past lives affect us
De ja- ve how many of you have had the feeling or intuition that they have been somewhere before that they know exactly where a place is a street and name. Others of you go to a place where you feel vulnerable insecure almost frighten but to be honest it’s a bright sunny day and everyone else does seem to notice anything out of the ordinary the only attention is you and you immediately feel stressed.
Fear of water fear of flying fear of falling. Deep in our subconscious are memories of past lives and situation we have not dealt with boxes we have shut up and closed down only to be set off by a trigger.
One of my clients was a fisherman he had always been a fisherman and his father before him. He hated the smell of fish and did not like the taste of salt water. He could not understand why he had such violent dreams of drowning he kept dreaming of the past.
He said these dreams were frequent as teenager but then stopped only to start again when his son said he wanted to go on an all night fishing trip. Now he could not understand why he was freaking out. He had knowledge of the trade he was in business and his family had links to the trade.
When looking back and trying to help him sort out his fears. It was clear that at sometime in the 16th Century he had been on board a ship where he had been asked to fix the mask the wind and rain was very fierce and the Lad at the time was scared stiff of heights and as he slipped his foot caught in the rope.
He was dragged over board several times he was thrown of the ship being dragged into the sea he ended up caught on a bit of the broken mask he died with water in his lungs and the smell fish which he smelt as he laid dieing from his wounds.
The fear and worries for his own son bringing back the memories of his own teenage years and pressure he felt of having to become or be a part of a business he had no interest in again he did not to upset his family and instead of facing on his worries and concerns just bottled them up.
With continued time spent on healing aspects of his past he was enable to move on and still works with the fishing company but behind scenes and no longer has dealings with the fish or water that he so desperately feared. His son also learnt that he too did not have to follow the family footsteps in to the business and went on to become an architect.
