Past life rememberance

  Modified on 3-10-2010
 Some remember hundreds of their past lives. It's all thanks to this excellent technique which is going to be shared now. Thanks be to Oneiros.

 Close your eyes and relax. Now i don't know how you work with your mind and what kind of "interface" do you use but the standard one that I've found most people using is that of a room from which they start any sort of mind exploration, so for this post I'll assume the room interface and use that to explain this technique. You can feel free to use any other sort of "interface" that works for you.

 Go to your "room" in your mind, here you might see many things, from furniture to companions and doors or...whatever really, it's lots of fun to explore but it doesn't really have any bearing on this technique.

 Now focus on the purpose of the working, on wanting to find and access your past lives. All your past lives are stored in your soul. However trying to access them directly would be like trying to read assembler code, so we use mental interfaces. Focus on wanting to go to the place where all your past lives are stored. Now will the door to that place to appear somewhere in your room. Open the door and go there.

 Another aside - What I'm about to describe is a completely arbitrary mental interface and you can feel free to change it however you want with whatever works for you. The reason I'm using this one in this explanation is because it seems to work for a lot of people, in other words it seems more or less generally accepted.

 When you walk though the door you will see a long hallway. Now I don't know why, but for most people the hallway will look medieval, vaulted ceiling, torches on the walls and so on. I don't know if the appearance matters, i don't think it does, but I can't be sure. This hallway will have doors on either one or both sides. Behind each door is one past life. Doors may differ greatly and usually will hint something about the nature of this past life. Some doors may glow or seem to attract you or draw you to them, this is usually a sign you should awaken this incarnation before others. Also it has sometimes happened, though very rarely, that an incarnation will be outside, in the hallway, and it's door may be open already, there are various interpretations of this but I simply take it as an even more urgent need to awaken/connect with that incarnation.

 Once you choose a door, approach it and open it. Behind it there will usually be a room or a set of rooms. In here you will find your past life standing or sitting or such, it will usually look the way it did at the prime of it's life or else however it "remembers itself". If the room is decorated in anyway this is usually an indication about the nature of this incarnation. Sometimes there will be some items or even pets/servants present, usually if this incarnation had a very strong bond with that being/item. Approach the incarnation and talk to it, get to know it.

 Another little aside here, some people get hung up on the fact that most of these past lives wont speak english or whatever your primary language is, however that really doesn't matter because this is all happening in your mind so telepathic communication is not a problem.

 When you're done talking and looking around, it's time to actually "awaken" the past life. What this typically does is give you it's memories, it's skills, any of it's still surviving possessions(usually on astral and other higher planes) also any and all titles and such(though those are really meaningless in present day most of the time, but some people seem to care very much about the titles part). In effect, you completely acquire this past life and all of it's benefits. Oh yes I should also mention that any and all magical abilities are acquired as well. Though of course, you must take into account the different environment. Something that in their time/place worked on physical might not work physically here and now, but it all usually works fairly well on astral.

 Now on to the actual method, it sounds really simple but as you will discover when you first do this it is very profound, the feeling is unmistakable so if you succeed you will know instantly. Stand directly in front or behind your past incarnation and then walk into them, become one with them, make them become one with you, as you inhale feel yourself drawing him/her into you, as you exhale feel yourself spreading all throughout him/her. Do this for as long as it feels right. Usually it's instantaneous and one or two inhale/exhale cycles do the trick, but that's just me and seeing as this is a very personal form of magic your experience may differ greatly.

 The feeling of this, as I said, is very unique and unmistakable, it may differ from person to person so I won't even try to put it into words. I will however list some of the possible side-effects. Headache, lightheadedness, vertigo, maybe even nausea, tingling, lightness, heaviness, feeling very hot or cold, sweating or shivering. All of these are perfectly normal and will pass, it may take from 5 minutes to 48 or even 72 hours. Do not be alarmed. It is after all to be expected, you are absorbing a lifetime of information, memories, skills and such. And not only that but also your energy systems, higher bodies, will in most cases be developing too. That's another benefit I forgot to mention, if the past life was a mage or in some other way powerful, if their subtle body was better developed than yours, the awakening will trigger your body to develop and grow to at least partially match theirs. Physical changes are not unheard of though they are very rare.

 It's worth mentioning that you may not feel any of those unpleasant side-effects, you will still get that feeling I spoke of and so you will know that it succeeded. Also as this is happening you may get flashes or even full on visions of moments from this life.

 It may take up to a few days for all the memories to settle in your mind. If you are feeling any side-effects, wait AT LEAST until all of them completely stop before awakening any more incarnations. You may feel like sleeping a lot, this is normal and even encouraged, your mind needs to deal with all of this and it's easier without you getting underfoot.

 Once awakened this past life will be at your disposal, you can talk to it, you can ask it to teach you anything it knows, you already know this of course but it can be useful to have them walk you through it, you can ask any questions or anything you want. You can even have them do magic through you, either to demonstrate and teach you or simply because you are lazy. However be warned about this, you should not attempt it if you are in any way unstable, it is "partial possession" and may go further than you want it to if you are not strong enough to remain in control.

 Last thing i feel obliged to mention is this. You may notice, in some cases, your personality slightly changing, being slightly influenced by the personality of this past life. This is normal, though it is imperative that you have control over it. If you notice it happening, and you approve of it, alright, but if you don't approve of it, it is imperative that you are able to stop it. This leads me to the main point of this warning. If you are unprepared, if you are not strong enough, if you are in any way unbalanced or unstable this method CAN CAUSE INSANITY. Your past lives are not malicious, they are YOU, they will not work against you, they will not directly try to control you or harm you, but once you awaken them they will be present, if you can not control their presence, if you hear their thoughts/voices when you don't want to hear them, if they are in any way out of your control, this is cause for alarm, you are in trouble, fix it quickly or seek help from other mages. Psychiatrists and conventional methods wont help, hypnosis might but the only thing that can certainly help you at this point is magic.

 Also worth mentioning is that some of your past lives might be insane, I'm not saying this will happen but it's obviously a possibility, these are completely unpredictable and I strongly urge you to not awaken them unless you are VERY sure of your own strength.

 Once their gotten. You can also call upon them for advice in certain workings that they have had more experience with (for example, you may have some past lives which were amazing healers, so if you need to heal yourself or another, you can sort of "call them up" to the surface for advice or even to do the healing).

 Another thing you can do is externalize these past lives. Create astral bodies or vessels for them to use temporarily, and externalize them to do things like weather workings or anything suitable. They can be externalized, as far as I know, nearly indefinitely.
