Thread: Past life regressions

Inspite of some criticisms, I would like to go for it.Has anyone tried it?

Im confused what are you going to try can you clarify a bit on that. If your going to look in on your pastlife i would love to hear how it is your going to go about it i would like to learn a bit on this if possible. It seems to be a interesting topic of disscusion.

Past life regression is done via hypnosis. When we are reborn our memories are sort of erased & new/fresh memories are allocated to us. Hence we don't remember our past lives. But there is 'reminiscence' which is the memory of the soul which can still recall past events.
Why don't we remember our past lives? Blavatsky, Modern Theosophy

Its difficult to conform what you experienced in the hypnosis actually happened or were some manifestations of your fantasies or random thoughts by the subconscious mind. It could be something lke a dream but not an incident. Nevertheless, I wouldn't still mind doing it.

I have done this to a friend of mine on several occasions. She was going through a rough patch with her abilities and came to be for advice and asked if this could be done. To her request I went down this path with her, I made notes (as I always do) with everything she said. Once this was over, we discussed what she saw/felt, which helped her with the issues she was facing.

So in short, yes i've tried it, it can be interesting. Especially since I ask a few things before I go through with things like this.

If you are going to do it, find someone reputable or someone you trust then go from there.

Good luck

Hypnosis is a sketchy thing at best to put oneself through. Even the Amazing Kreskin, arguably one of the most famous stage hypnotists and a legitimately trained hypno-therapist, said that there were no benefits that could be gained from a hypnotic state that could not be similarly gained through a regular waking state with the proper motivation. As a methodology hypnosis leaves much to be desired, particularly when you are talking about subconscious memory.

Personally I've found the idea of past lives to be somewhat odd. To my mind there are two ways reincarnation can work. You either have a choice in the matter or you don't. Now if you have a choice why would you want to come back here and be stupid, sickly, and caged in a fleshy shell again? It contravenes everything that most reasonable people would choose if the other option was an immortal state as perceptive energy. Now it could be argued that one achieves a certain level of enlightenment after death but, I don't see why. We die just a little less ignorant than we were born. Now if you have no choice in the matter, or even worse if it is dictated by accrued karma, and I use the word loosely, why would you want to examine all that sickness, misery, and crap? It's a somewhat hopeless existence eternally tied to this world without the chance to move beyond it. Reincarnation always sounded like prison to me and to that end I do not want to revisit my old cell.

Of course it could be argued that what we experience as "past lives" in such regressions are actually an atavistic information transfer function in our DNA that allowed us to pass on key knowledge before we developed spoken language. Of course that is completely speculative and more or less my own personal theory. More to the point I have heard, but not personally experienced for the aforementioned reasons, that sensory deprivation can facilitate regressions and don't have to be guided by a hypnotist. It is also much less complicated than self hypnosis and works on everyone regardless of mental fortitude.

Well if you mean is there an afterlife only the dead can tell you for sure but, I think it is likely that there is given the anecdotal evidence for it. Whether one can sense it coming I'd say yes to that as well. I mean if you're sick and dieing you know when the end is coming because you can feel your body shutting down. If you're a better than average observer you can even get a split second notification of your own impending demise by truck or whatever accident might befall you. Some families are even supposed to have spirits or faeries that warn them when someone is about to die.

The ones generally responsible for telling you your time is up are the Bean Sidhe and they tend to wail as opposed to whisper.

I wonder why no one really answered your question? Maybe because they dont know.

Anyway,

Try trance/journeying. Some mantras/invocations while on your trance/journey could also be very beneficial, and perhaps supply you with more cosmic energy to enable you and guide you.

That is complete hogwash. More of the same typical disempowering/ self limiting hogwash too popular in the occult current for some damn reason.... oh ya, this age old reason - people are afraid of their own power.
People can go from 0 to 60, and they do, more often than you think. The only reason it might take years for someone to learn to meditate would be their own blocks, which is their stupid problem, not necessarily yours or mine.

recipe for instant meditation - relax, close your eyes, breath slowly, allow the blackness to envelope you, try idoing a mantra in your mind, invoke something, whatever. If that takes you more than 10 minutes to learn your probably a retard

And dont forget the other reason folks - commercialism. Everyone is trying to sell bullshit. Proffessional hypnotist my ass. LAMOOOOO!
