@Ellen, it is nice to know that my story has an impact on you. How interesting that you can still remember dreams that you have at the age of 3 or 4. Whether the monk or not is really a monk is anyone’s guess. But you may be right to point out that he can be representative of a teacher or a guide.

My opinion is that if the message is important to you to decipher, you can always ask for it to be shown clearly to you again. Of course, it requires you to be brave to have the intent. I believe that some of my memories are being held from me because I still suffer from some fears from facing up to all of the dark secrets of the past.

Do what feels right to you. I fear being judged too. It took me so long to share about my experiences on my site. But somehow, the flow of my posts make it seem natural that I should bring them up at this point. I don’t preplan my posts; in a way, I feel as if my guides are gently leading the way with this site.

Love, light and truth,
Evelyn

That was a great story. I did cry. I suppose my spirit recognizes the truth of what you’re saying.

Stories. I won’t go into the train dreams because they were horrid and there is a whole collection of stuff to go with that.

When I was around 3 or 4 I had a dream of walking down a cobbled street with an Asian man. He was bald and had on a robe. When I was older I realized he was a monk. He handed me a stick, like a popsickle stick, and a ball, something like a marble. He told me I had to do something with these two objects. We were walking together and at that point and he told me he could not walk with me again until I had figured out this “problem” to do with the ball and stick. So he walked ahead of me. He didn’t speak, but I knew what he was communicating.

Right away I was fascinated with the ball and could communicate all kinds of things about wholeness, perfection, blah blah blah. No, this wasn’t quite right. I wasn’t getting the whole story. He was not walking with me, but still up ahead. I surveyed the stick. I did get an insight, some flash and said something about the details being as important to the whole as the ball. He started walking with me again. But I really cannot remember the exact insight. And it bothers me.

I wonder if he was my teacher, or if he was me, or what. Whatever it was a koan that keeps my mind busy still.

One more. I was high above these creatures, they looked like primitive humans. They were running along a rocky mountain or plain. Suddenly I snapped into them, or one of them, I can’t quite remember. But I “was” them at that point. Running.

I have been working on tuning my “psychic” abilities. I don’t think it’s special. Anyone can do it.

I find it really helps my writing.

It’s comforting to know that many people feel these things, or think of these things. Of course I do not think it is weird, but I also hesitate in talking about it because of being judged.

Well, that was a long time ago. And I couldn’t see what I wanted to see, only a few little details. But I do support what you’re writing about, and I’m sure you’ll find many more

Meditation is like self hypnosis. Your mind quietens to or below an alpha level and yet you are awake. Yes, I meditate almost everyday.

@Dot, most of my past life memories are not happy ones too. However, in their ugliness, they hold the secret to where our growth areas need to be in for our soul to evolve. We also tend to take on different roles with the same family members, friends or enemies in each lifetime. Thanks for sharing! At least, I know one person (yourself) on the web now that can testify to having accessed the same ability to see past lives.

@Davina, write to me or share it on your blog, ok? I’d be interested to find out if anything happened in this regard.

I have never thought that I was special or anything, in the ability to regress past lives. As you correctly pointed out, all of us have access to the same ability. Whether or not we are able to access it, is largely dependent on whether we choose to believe it or not and how much we want to heal ourselves from our past traumas.

Healing in present life or as far as back to our childhood days in currrent life, can only go so far but healing at a deeper level requires us to eliminate imprints in our subconscious that continue to haunt us today. So the question is which level do you really want to heal yourself – scraping at the surface or addressing issues at the soul? If healing is possible and can be complete just by accessing current life records, I’d be more than happy to recommend not to go into past lives. However, if there is an incompleteness, then you may find it necessary to deal with your problems at soul level and to prevent further karma.

Perhaps, another post on this topic is in order. I did not see the need to previously. It would be nice to always publish articles on miracles, dreams and all. However, such is the duality of existence – we must deal with the shadows before there can be light.

Love, light and truth,

One was a monastery in France and I was a monk who starved to death after all the others had left. Also I was a Native American studying to be a shaman, but I was killed by three other young men before I finished my training. Also, I was a young woman in China around the 1500’s who was being exploited by a cruel older man. I believe that man became my mother in this life.

I think I am very suggestible and of course have lots of imagination which I use comfortably, but these kinds of dreams…have not visited me lately…hm, perhaps I need to relax, or meditate.

I have been so focused on rebuilding inside, very goal oriented. The storm mixed things up so thoroughly…

Do you meditate daily?

The reincarnation literature indicates that most human beings lose their past-life memories as young children, and that if you wish to access them as an adult, you’d typically need to undergo a past-life regression.

I believe you have a gift that allows you access to past lives for your healing and enlightenment. You’re an example to those of us who would like to believe that we too can have this access for the same reasons.

Personally, I have only fleeting (yet highly disturbing) memories of past events minutes before death. I’ve had a strange feeling that I walked in a certain section of the city where I currently live (as a hopeless drunk), and interestingly, not far from where I was born.

We’d do well not to go looking for the darkness in our souls, but if darkness arises, meditating on past-life memories is a potentially healing avenue to follow, as clearing any blocks that come up for healing can only help us clear a path to growth and fulfillment.

I have so much more I could say, but I think this will do for now. Thank you for being so open with us.
