Past life memories and feelings

as with everyone else, i'm not really sure what's out there or waiting for us in the universe. i have beliefs that i'm positive are true for me, but everything else is just questions.

well.. one of my "questions" is the idea of reincarnation. i have a couple memories of what i can only guess was a past life.

when i was little, i used to have vivid and exciting dreams about walking along the beach in Greece. i don't really know a lot about Greece, so i couldn't give you locations or specifics. but i remember always looking at the sky and the clouds, and that we (the people during that time) would see the Gods of our time in the clouds, like images of them and stuff. this is the only Greek memory-thing i have, or otherwise it was a really cool dream. i've always been into Greek mythology, and i guess that could be the result of those dreams or the cause. :p who knows. but i feel strongly about that idea in my dreams, that we "watched" our Gods in the sky.

the more important memories i have involve a house; i'm pretty sure it's pink. i can see it in my mind, small and with rose bushes i think on a side... it's somewhere where it's always cloudy, and out in the country somewhere where there aren't too many neighbors. i don't know. sometimes i catch scents on the wind and it'll take me back to the house. and since i was very, very young i can remember sometimes getting this weird feeling that i'm still not sure what it is, but it's sad and nostalgic and it reminds me of "the house". i always love when winter comes around because the feelings get a lot stronger, and car rides in the rain make me feel like i'm there.

anyway i was just wondering if anyone else had any past-life experiences, or any tips on how i can maybe "remember more" or anything?

Being raised a Christian, I never really truely beleived in reincarnation. I have always known about it htough. But even I have sorta like feelings of being somewhere at sometime. Some of those most vivids feelings are of WWII, actually fighting there in Europe. I have actually served in the military and spent several years in Germany, It was always the strongest there. These feelings come random and with different scenerios. Another is the "feeling" of living on a beach front, All these emotions of how I felt and how I lived somtimes seem all too familiar. The more I look into subjects like metaphysics, the more I can accept some of these "past Life" feelings. I am still a follower of christ. But my studies and open mindedness has allow me to see, feel and know that there is more to my God than what the church teaches you. So in the end reincarnation in some sense is an actual possibility.

I've been waiting for this thread.....

My most vivid recollections are tribal in nature. I'm somewhere cool or cold. In some of them, there is ice, but mostly it is in the plains & hillsides when it's just really cool outside.
In one of these, there was a young boy on a venture with bow & arrow that had killed a deer. Upon his approach to the deer, a bear that had been stalking the wounded deer killed the boy.
There are hunts, and animals, and campsites...stone tools. Grassy plains, never green.
Tribal music, the drums, flames flickering totally enchants me. I feel a great connection to the past whenever I see arrowheads, broken ancient pottery.

There is another, of another world. A world of ice, with crystal buildings soaring into the sky. I'm watching two people on...some sort of vehicle skimming over the surface and there is an immense screeching sound causing intense pain and even the ground to shake.

Another one of being totally aquatic. In the sea or a sea - not sure of my form because it doesn't matter to me there. I just am what I am.

I haven't thought about this in a while, I'll prob be back with more details.

I remember a lot of past lives. My most recent life was as a woman named Emma or Anna (left brain stuff like names are a lot less clear to me).. I was born in the Martha vineyards area of Connecticut and my father was a doctor. I was an only and rather spoiled child, with a mom and dad who doted on me although my dad was frequently unfaithful to my mother. We had one of those lovely victorian beach access houses where you could sit in the back veranda and watch the water lap up on the beach, plus nice clothes and such, so my mother put up with his infidelity without much todo.

I fell in love with a fellow and he wanted to go west... unfortunately his 'west' was nebraska (mine of course was Oregan with its ocean beaches) and I spent the better part of 35 sucky years out on the plains of nebraska with a 2 day wagon ride to town for supplies 2 times a year, and nothing else to look forward to but back breaking labor as we tried to eke a living out of the soil. I remember I brought a little tree with me to plant in our new home, but the poor little thing just couldn't get enough water and died in a couple of years.

I had three sons (probably why I didn't want any kids this life! *lol*) all of whom left when they got old enough. My oldest finished my journey west and ended up in Astoria, where he did quite well with his fishing boat. He soon had a fleet, and spent the summers out at sea.

When my husband died, I got him buried, brushed the dirt off my hands and was on the very next train to Oregon to live with my son. The farm my husband had poured his life into was abandoned. None of my sons wanted it, and I for sure just wanted to get away from that living hell of a life.

The first time I went to Astoria in this life, my first thought was "wow this place has changed!" I felt confused though because I realized I hadn't ever been there before, even checked with my now-ex-hubby to see if he remembered us being there before. Although it didn't really fit at the time, I finally just concluded that I must have gotten it confused with the town my grandma lived in, which was hilly and also has a lot of the old Victorian homes.

Now though I know why. I spent the last years of my life there. Probably the better part of 20 years. I lived into my late 80's, maybe even early 90's. Even now, going by the Flavel Mansion there in Astoria makes me grit my teeth... I almost instinctively say "It should be mine!!" My son was going to build me a big mansion like that, he said. But could be, he was just trying me to stop being so jealous and stop being such a cranky old woman! *lol* I think I made he and his wife lives miserable because I felt like i had lost so much in my life due to living in Nebraska all those years. But my son was dutiful and wouldn't hear of moving me out somewhere.

But when I was dying, all my sons and their wives came... this was in the early 50's so transportation wasn't such an issue. They were all there around my bed when I died. It didn't hurt.. it was more just like drifting away. Kind of a relief actually. I was soo tired of living.

And I do remember a lot of other lives, but they are a bit more fragmented. Most importantly though, I think, is that I have remembered the life in which I arrived here on earth on the back of a dragon. But most definitely NOT as a human. But when I died, I ended up in a human body, and I can see how that happened to a LOT of us, and that most of us are actually not human in origins either.

The first time I remembered a past life was with the help of a past life regression, but since then, I've learned that if there is some kind of anomaly like a strange fear, or intense longing, or a fascination with some time and place in history, it is quite likely that I am reacting to things from other of my past lives, bleeding thru my connection to the racial unconscious. Since that connection is a right brain thing, where the imagination also resides, the NWO bunch have pushed us very hard to believe anything coming out of our right brain must be 'imagination', when in fact about half the time it is information coming to us thru the racial unconscious connection.

hey modified, how's it going? Just thought I'd add a bit about a memory that I somewhat recently had. I was in the shower (oddly enough) and I went into almost a trance and in my staring off into nowhere I saw wheat fields and a really big house with classic white siding and I think a nice veranda. A windmill, a fence, you know...the typical "dream" of a farm that any hardcore country folk would like to live on. While I saw (even for just that brief few seconds) I felt at peace. I felt like the times were perfect, like there were no wars, no worries...wow. It was amazing. It was SO vivid that I honestly like to believe that it might have been a vision from my past life. If so, it was not too long ago, as it would've had to have been in the early/mid 1800's I would think. Maybe late nineteenth century...I'm not sure. In either case though, it was amazing and I felt like it was my home. I got that feeling you get when you pull into your driveway after a week-long vacation. The "even though I loved the vacation, it's great to be home" feeling. Amazing.

Also, I don't know if there's any validity to this theory, but a friend once told me that if you lay down in a quiet room and start recollecting all of the relatively major events in your life (and obviously REALLY put a bunch of time and effort into it) you will eventually wind up remembering birth and then go into your past life. I don't know if this includes your death and the transition to your new life...But I thought it was an interesting idea. Never tried it myself though.

I don't mean to be mean but (I'll offer a skeptical viewpoint) ...

I hope you people realize there is such a thing as "imagination"? I can imagine all manner of fantastic scenery, sensations, and experiences. I used to do it more often when I was on the playground. Sometimes, I have very vivid dreams. Do any of these suggest that I was "reincarnated" and inherited these memories from a past life? If reincarnation exists, then what is the vehicle by which these memories are transmitted? Presumably a non corporal "soul"? I've not seen any convincing evidence to suggest that souls exist - even though it would provide great comfort if they did. If reincarnation does exist, why is there no mention of this by the three monotheistic religions that dominate our world? Are Judaism, Christianity, and Islam wrong? Is Buddhism wrong? They can't both be right...

sorry im
but ALL of those religions are wrong

they have but one purpose, keep the wool over people's eyes so they can not discover the truth of self and reality within

turtles on turtles, layers on layers,
sheperds herding the flocks not to awakening, but to deeper sleep

keep up with the thread stories, they are quite fascinating

Yes, yes...However, a ton of people mention past life regressions and reincarnation. I am not trying to say that what I had was definitely past life memories but I like to believe it might be.

Anything is possible. Anything at all is possible.

No, what you're telling is what men made out of these religions.
To me, they're all right... Well, in their way.
I think religions all have the same root, and are the cultural adaptation of the very one truth, to which are added some deformations often made by other people after the prophet's life (like Jesus, check what he DID tell and what other people told he told...).

not rude at all. i'm definitely open to the fact that this all just might be my imagination running wild; i do have a pretty active and creative one, since i was a kid. you might be absolutely right.

but i do like to explore the possibility that something else is happening, and that's why i came here; to express my concerns/opinions/questions and see what you guys had to say. so, your opinion and thoughts are more than welcome.

i'm not religious, but i think that comment was a little harsh! obviously you have the right to say that and i'm glad you expressed it, but i just don't want to offend anyone who has a faith like that. maybe those religions are real for those people, and we all just have something else.

There isn't any mention of it in any religion unless absolutely necessary. The aliens who bought the use of the india area for their people's spirits after their world was destroyed wanted reincarnation to be a part of the religion the NWO buunch whipped up for them because they thought their people would be more easy to control if they believed they would reincarnate as a bug or some other icky thing if they didn't behave properly.

But most any other religion (ALL of them created by the Jue-sah aka Jews aka ex-high priests of israel aka illuminati aka current 'face' NWO bunch) were designed for the sole purpose of controlling us. So if we think this is our one and only life/chance to make things right to get to heaven.. or at least avoid an eternity of a hell-like spirit subsistence, we are gonna be soo much more biddable, eh? So don't even expect there to be any 'proof' of a soul or reincarnation or any such thing that would interfere with their gig. They've managed to get their grimy little paws on the media pretty much and they fund the research they want done.. and bury the research done by those not in their pay... and usually they run them out of the industry. They are a mean bunch, and have had thousands of years of practice hiding their tracks, so don't expect this to be all that provable either.


But their lapdog creation 'religion' has worked quite well over the millinia.. and when we western civilization types started getting restless with the idiocy and lack of logic as well as the over-worn "have faith" line, they created 'science' to entrap and control what the more educated people believed.

Do keep exploring, modified. Part of the key is to learn to discern between imagination and what is coming thru the connection to the racial unconscious. If something really draws you that doesn't make sense in this life time, like for me it was a huge unreasonable longing to go to the ocean in this life.. I mean I was born less than 100 miles from the pacific, lived on Puget Sound for pity sake, but I still LONGED for the ocean.

Well, once I remembered that just past life,it was very clear that the longing came from all that time I was trapped away from my beloved ocean out there on the plains of Nebraska. The longing faded after that. And if there is something like that, a powerful but unreasonable fear or longing or even a deep curiosity, it is a pretty good indicator that it is part of one of your past lives.

I feel as if I have memory of being born, in this life...Just about lights and sounds....weird I know....but I really feel that I have this as my first memory.

In my Past Life, I was a pornstar and hung like a horse. Then I invented the steam engine. When I was bored I worked on quantum mechanics. I also liked to laugh at paranormal junkies.

Ohh.. didn't you forget that life where you were King Richard the Lion-hearted?? or what about that one where you were Jesus?? I am sure you surely one or both of those fine historical figures.

Now if you said you were an alien, like one of the tall skinny blue people, I'd probably believe you, since you seem to be about as rude and cynical as they tend to be, when they aren't busy trying to fool us they are here to 'help'. )

haha oh. :p well we're all entitled to our own beliefs and curiosities, aren't we? you don't have to be so aggressive... but i guess it is kind of amusing.

anyway, it's kind of odd you'd laugh at a theory as common as reincarnation while being a member on a very paranormal-centric site, amirite? thanks for the comment.

Hey there modified,

I've been a Pastlife Regression Therapist for over 16yrs now and I love my job ... but because it is my 'job' I rarely respond to threads on ATS about this subject because it's like being at work ... however I liked your OP and from what you describe it does sound like PLM's ... as you will know you can tell the subtle but distinct difference between imagination and memory.

I got into this line of work because of my own very detailed 'spontaneous' pastlife memories (I have extremely detailed memories of 4 pastlives now and 'snapshot' memories of another 2) ... I've even written a book about the first and am currently writing another ebook about the information gained from my second set of pastlife memories concerning the origins of mankind on this planet (you can check both out on the following links);


#1 THE CORNISH BURNING - Can be found on my first website - PastlivesParanormal&Pagans.
pastlivesparanormalandpagans.webeden.co.uk...

#2 THE ATLANTEAN ANALYSIS - Can be found on my second website - The Atlantean Analysis Ebook.
theatlanteananalysis.webeden.co.uk... ...

I should probably add that this second ebook is a serialized version and is FREE to read ... just in case anyone thought I was plugging it for profit ... there are more important things than money in life (so say the people like me who never have any )


Over the years I've regressed hundreds of people but I don't use hypnosis because it hightens the risk of subliminal suggestion which can lead to false memory ... so I ended up developing my own technique which has proven to be very successful.

When I first joined ATS I actually started a thread about the subject which proved to be very popular and many people added their own memories and experiences ... it's quite long but worth the read if it's a subject that interests you ... there are lots of interesting accounts on there;

Spontaneous Past-life Memories

Hope this helps ... if you have any specific questions I'd be happy to answer them here or on the other thread ... or on the website.
