In search of past lives phenomenon I really enjoyed the Vladimir

article:
I believe that the fear of death is a major factor in shaping the mind
and experience of an average human being. A great spiritual teacher Osho
said that every fear draws its roots from the fear of death. Renowned
20th century philosopher Emil Sioran, who was an atheist and openly
disliked anything related to religion or mysticism, said exactly the
same thing. Japanese Bushido, Way of the Warrior, teaches the same from
a little bit different point of view: One can never fully enjoy life
until one fully accepts death. Many of our actions are driven with the
need to avoid or overcome death.
It may sound paradoxical, but our belief that we only have one lifetime
prevents us from being here and now and enjoying life, by focusing our
attention into the future point of time when we will cease to exist, and
by creating a feeling that we are racing against time, in continuous
rush to hurry up and achieve what we want to achieve, as the time is
continuously running out, and there is nothing we can do to slow it
down. And as we grow older, this feeling is intensifying, sometimes
turning into a sort of low tone and ever present feeling of panic.
And the childish church stories about the eternal hell and how we have
to earn our immortality do not really help, if one is willing enough
to lock ones own intelligence into the basement of consciousness, and
to believe into these unintelligent attempts of imagination of
carpenters, fishermen, and sheppards who lived thousands of years ago.
Church stories were invented to feed and enforce the fear of deats in
order to use it to manipulate and control people.
When one believes in these stories, apart from ignoring elementary logic
and the basics of free thinking, one is completely ignoring the human
evolution that happened since these stories were invented. It was
difficult to believe in them back then, and it must require a ridiculous
amount of effort to believe in them today.
However, to many people, the stories of reincarnation may sound as wild
and as unfounded as the stories of the church do sound to me. I admit
that in many cases the reincarnation stories may sound even more
ridiculous. As with everything else in Spiritual Development, the point
is not in believing but in personal experience. Believing will not bring
you any benefits. In most cases, beliefs bring problems. It is worthless
if you personally dont experience it.
Essentially, past lives are the same kind of memory like events you
remember in this life. It does not feel much different. You are the same
I who remembers but identities are different. In this situation, where
you have the same I but often a completely different identity that
indicates very different type of character in the past life or the
opposite gender, thats when you get a valuable insight. You get to
differentiate the I from identities, and you let go off identities to
a degree. You dont hold to them, as strong as before. The is probably
the most important benefit of remembering and discharging the contents
of the past lives.
It is much less painful to process past lives than to process problems
in this life, because of the natural time/space distance and safety.
Between-lives periods are sometimes more interesting than past lives.
Once, I was processing my wife, using Memento, a process that
Z.M.Slavinski has created for the past lives recall. After we finished
one past life, I was supposed to do the stabilization and finish the
session. My wife already had around 5-6 Memento sessions, so she was
experienced, in a way. This time, instead of finishing the session, I
continued to process her to see what was going on in between-lives
period. It was very interesting. She described events during which she
was negotiating a new life with some astral creatures. They were
explaining what kind of life they can offer, and she asked to see the
previews of them. A preview was a whole future life that would flash
within a few seconds. Negotiations were difficult. All of the few lives
on offer were quiet dramatic. She was talked into accepting one of them,
and as soon as that happened she was drawn towards a couple in
intercourse. The content of the incoming life that she has seen during
the negotiations was immediately forgotten. I kept the session going and
we processed and cleared up that past live as well. It took between one
and a half to two hours to complete the session, in which we discharged
two past incarnations and the between-lives period.
Every time just before I would remember a past life, I had to
discharge rather unusual mind content. I used to call it frozen
emptiness. Frozen emptiness used to precede literally every past life.
It was more a complete experience, and less a feeling. It was a sort of
catatonic experience, a sort of vacuum that would take me over
completely, and would have not allowed anything to get in the mind or
out of it. It consisted of neutral suppressed and condensed energy,
without any emotional content. On the first sight one would say that
frozen emptiness contained nothing, but that was not really the case.
It contained condensed energy under pressure, and its purpose was to
create some sort of tampon zone between the past life and myself. Real
emptiness has no pressure. The sole purpose of frozen emptiness was to
suppress a past life, so I could start a new one from the beginning,
without any memories. Its interesting that frozen emptiness never
occurred in any other situations, when I was suppressing something else,
except in the case of past lives.
I remembered and discharged past existences on other planets, in
bodies other than human, including planetary disasters, wars in space,
travelling through the universe etc. And all the time, irrelevant of the
body I was using, and the identity I was having, the same I of today
was continuously present. In a way, this widened my consciousness and my
vision. I was not any longer focused on this planet only. The playground
just got bigger. And the time turned into eternity. It felt as I knew
some cosmic secret. This secret was simple. The player can engage into
the game as fully as possible. But even fully engaged, with a part of
his mind the player now knows that this is just a game. A never ending
one. And the purpose is not in winning or losing, in life or death, but
in the experience of the game itself, in evolution, in the integration
of the whole universe, back into the Being, where it belongs.
Major Benefits
A major benefit of remembering and clearing past lives is an insight or
the ability to recognize the real I in the woods of ego contents. As
you go through one or more past lives experiences, you notice that the
same I of this life is present or was present in past lives as well.
This is very much emphasized by very different identities, genders and
personalities from past lives. Everything is so different, just the I
is exactly the same. This contrast enables you to quite clearly get a
glimpse of the Being.
The other major benefit is in discharging and integrating the charge of
the past lives, effectively removing their influence from your current
life and liberating the being.
It seems that sometimes people look for a sort of ego boost in their
past lives, hoping to discover they were important people from the past.
From the spiritual point of view, it is irrelevant what one was in ones
past lives. From the spiritual point of view, there are no past lives.
The Being is here and now all the time. The being has no past and no
future, just the presence.
From the spiritual point of view, the importance of past lives is
equivalent to the amount of unconscious charge they stored in the ego.
Once that charge is removed, the importance of past lives is removed as
well, as they turn into flat and empty mental images, looking like
forgotten dreams that happened long time ago.
Naturally, the more of the past lives you remove, the more benefits will
occur. It seems to me that clearing the charge of past lives is related
to the phenomenon called crossing the abyss. This phenomenon happens
once you remove the content of ego enough to recognize yourself as a non
material being. Its a short moment in time when you stop existing as an
entity in mater, energy, space and time, and start experiencing yourself
as consciousness.
It seems that for crossing the abyss to happen, you need to remove all
or almost all past incarnations identities, as it is in the nature of
a past life identity to experience itself as a material being, and it
stands on the way of experiencing yourself as pure consciousness.
I will write more about crossing the abyss in my future article titled
A Journey into Oneself.
What is important to mentioned is the following. The two major benefits
that I expected to happen once I recall and integrate the first past
incarnation were to start experiencing myself as an immortal being and
to get rid of fears. These benefits are not related to recalling the
first past life incarnation, but they are related to the phenomenon
called crossing the abyss.
