What are some ways to retain more of our knowledge, experience, memory and skills and have better access to them in our future incarnations?
Are there some practices that we can do to maximize our chances to incarnate as our descendants?
Not to hijack, but something I’ve wondered about along the same topic… there are a ton of concurrent incarnations, right? How can we tap into that collective now?
As far as I know, we sometimes do it while we sleep, and remember those as our drams.
I realized that a few people in my soul tribe were more evolved than I was. Sometimes it feels like my future incarnations. And it is very instructive.
Usually, the goal should be to end the next incarnation :)
Incarnation = dualistic, individualized consciouness and can occur only when there are good/bad karmas/impressions persist.
And that will probably result in a high-vibration incarnation for a few lifetimes till the actual goal of ending endless incarnations in the matrix of Maya/Samsara is successful
Shoot high is my strategy haha
Yeah, Im aware that’s common approach in people practicing spirituality, I just dont feel called to that yet.
I have known of people who can remember their past lives through regressions, consciously, but I have not known of any case where someone who was born with clear memories of their past lives, remember that we are all born as babies with a blank mind. But that does not mean that it is not possible, I do not know the entire history of humanity of course but at least it is somewhat unlikely.
As for psychic abilities and spiritual interest, I think it is something that once you have it you will always have it and you will improve in future incarnations. You just have to stay on the path now, do everything you can to achieve enlightenment, it may take a lifetime or it may take 100 more, I don’t know, who knows? When Buddha achieved enlightenment, how many incarnations would it have taken?
I think Forumuser is referencing the concept that there are milestones along the paths and there’s a principle out there (I don’t remember which tradition it’s part of) that basically sums up to “the further you get on the path NOW, the quicker you’ll resume your path in the next life”.
@Forumuser is that more or less what you’re asking?
kind of, I just don’t want to “quit the game” yet, I want to have fun in it and find easter eggs lol.
And I want to start my builiding my char for New Game+ already
Nothing is lost.
Everything you learn and experience is uploaded real time into your Higher Self.
And “you” in the afterlife will retain all of it.
The question is, would you really want to reincarnate knowing the things that you know now?
And if you would choose to reincarnate, would you wanna do it with the same personality setup and skills as you have now?
Or would you choose to get the most out of the incarnation experience and try playing a completely different charater where you will learn mostly completely new things that you then can bring back to your Higher Self?
Spoiler:
You as your Higher Self incarnates in parallel at the same time into various forms, so in most cases you personally do not have “past” and “future” incarnations, because parallel selves of you are already doing those. But you of course could still do it if you wanted to. The question is do you personally consider further incarnations necessary when most of the important experiences have already been collected by your parallel selves?
I don’t have the answers, but years ago, I don’t even know if I have gotten into yoga yet, I continually asked myself “who am I”, “who am I”, etc., at least for a few minutes, contemplated, prayed, closed my eyes, etc. And some ideas would pop up in my head.
Now, once I asked “who am I”, a name popped up in my head, and I searched the internet and that guy was alive in Romania and died right some time before i came into this world (Idk how much time, I forgot), I found out that he was a writer, and I found out a few other details about him.
Just a random name, first and last names, I don’t remember ever having heard about him, as we was not very famous or anything.
I wrote his name on my Bible lol.
It’s still there somewhere lol.
Am I the reincarnation of that guy?
Maybe, I don’t know.
Edit: he lived near where I live, in the same city (well, I don’t live in the city, but near it).
Still really cool and damn coincidental.
@Forumuser So I asked Sammy my version of this question today during the webinar. The bullet points were almost the same as what @JAAJ said: You’re a collection point, so are your other incarnations, your higher self is the Administrator and Correlation Engine in 1 (it’s the hub, you and the other incarnations are the spokes).
He did say that if you were to get to Oneness and truly sync with your higher self, you’d get that data download from EVERYONE, but even then it’d be an intuitive knowing, not conscious information and skills.
I would imagine, however, that you could utilize fields to significantly cut down on “re-learning” the information at that point.
Eh, sometimes you want a super light play-through. Where you have enough of everything to do anything and you can really focus on the story as opposed to the mechanics.
You certainly don’t want every play-through to be that way. But yes, I’d love the ability to really beef up this incarnation or the next, get some .001% level of traveling done, explore arts and hobbies (find out if I actually have any), etc.
You were Very Active and Extremely Helpful during the webinar (also, others were very helpful, and to not mention many names, I will add just 2: Nice2knowU and JAAJ, i mean besides Sammy and Captain, who were the ones who organized and maintained/presented/talked/wrote/answered the most during the webinar).
Thank You.
I learn stuff from you guys.
Thanks. No clear answer though.
I guess it can’t be 100% known (?) (I mean, while being incarnated).
:o I hardly did anything. I just felt bad because we were all playing the socially awkward role and Sammy was stuck trying to work it out xD So I channelled my oldest mask I’m glad it was helpful though and thank you for the kind words SoulStar33, Captain of the Reactions ;)
Lol
I have no idea whether reincarnation is true-true, but there is a lot of anecdotal evidence for it. I only say this because while I accept reincarnation as a plausible account, my intuitions might be divergent from the standard understanding.
There’s a loose idea out there that we start with a clean slate, but that doesn’t make sense, and I’m not sure there’s any doctrine that actually suggests that. But the reincarnation literature suggests that we do forget some things. Leaning into some skills might be enough to drive them “deeper” into your being, so that they don’t get washed away with the more superficial aspects that might get washed away in the reincarnation process. Try revision fields to set your mind to an earlier time and skill fields to follow might be a good strategy. Or play revision fields while studying. Seems like a good experiment.
Enlightened (or maybe near enlightened) beings can remember their past lives (that’s what the books say, never met one, myself), so that’s another good strategy. Even if you miss the mark, a somewhat earnest attempt at enlightenment seems like it would help. You don’t need crystal clear memories and perfect skill retention. Any head start is of interest to you, if I read you post correctly.
It makes more sense than not that one would reincarnate within a family group. Like attracts like. Tossed plastic six pack rings (and lots of other things) from numerous locations find themselves together in the ocean, so it makes sense that souls do something similar. If reincarnation is true, then I suspects it bootstraps the same sorts of natural processes we find in the physical world. Still, to be safe, try to die nearer to home to improve your odds.
The main game, i.e. the easy and light playthrough is the life on the astral planes and it is the normal state of being. Souls who want easy gaming and playing just stay there.
We, the hardcore players, simply go back to that easy mode when we physically die here.
Physical “death” does not mean instantly going back to your Higher Self or even merge back into the Source, but just returning to the normal easy mode game. You do not become a “bodyless orb of light” or something like that, you continue to play in your astral body, which can sometimes feel almost as physical as the physical one lol.
Please see also my reply here yesterday.
That’s why I made the Eternal Life thread and posted many resources there that people can explore for themselves, including astral travel. Maybe you should simply go there and start studying it, there is 50 years of research waiting for you, including and not limited to you making your own astral projections
I know you have a list of resources for newbies there… have you drilled that down to say a handful of books and an order they should likely be read in (for a more complete and smooth unfolding from basic to advanced concepts)?
If not, and its just “read everything”, that’s fine. I was just curious (and admittedly being a little lazy and not wanting to scroll the entire topic at this particular moment to see if there’s direction beyond the author lists).
