Past lives




If I cannot remember then what is the point of past lives?

It is natures kindness that we cannot remember past lives
.
Life would be a real pain if we carried such a tremendous load of memories
.
A wise man deliberately forgets many things in this life let alone many many lives
.
Look at it this way you get a monthly bank statement listing many individual transactions
.
It is the total that is important, the bottom line

We are the sum totals of all our past lives

A honey bee offers another way of looking at it

The bee visits many different flowers and plants, imagine that each visit represents a past life

Now what is important?

That the flower was a rose or tulip, a snapdragon perhaps or that it grew in this field or that field?

Only one thing is really important, how much nectar was gathered to be stored as honey for future use
.
So let us turn to the 'lost knowledge' argument people raise
.
Knowledge on its own is of no use to us
.
Acquiring knowledge and experience if used properly may though strengthen the mind
.
And we can see this in our own lives it is not the knowledge per se but how we learn to use it that is most important
.
Now imagine a man dies and enters his next life without that knowledge but strengthened by the way he learned to use it
.
In this new life that skill and wisdom are what he brings with him
.
So the loss of the knowledge is in fact his gain for the mere accumulation of knowledge if his memory never ceased would soon overwhelm him and be worse than useless
.
So the best evidence shows that in each life we can only learn a few important lessons
.
And it is these lessons that are added to our higher self
.
So that in your next life you are wiser and better able to move on in your consciousness evolution
.
But if you advance to a certain level then yes you will be able to know specific things about past lives,although those who have reached this level say that they do not often find this to be of help to them
.
Certain young children before the age of five or thereabouts have often good memories of past lives and this then disapears as the stimulae of this life and its demands fades the memories
.
Many people around the globe find that they are comfortable and able to do things that they have never done or seen before, usually because they had done this in past lives and retained an affinity or ability for it
.
Living in this life now is quite enough of a challenge for most without adding the burden of previous life knowledge

Just understand that you are the sum total of all those lives

Good and bad, male and female

Your work here is to add to that total through your personal efforts

Only you can do this

Nothing can be bought all must be earnt

We are the sum total of all our past lives
