Originally from the discussion thread, "Do you believe some animal are humans incarnated?" :
Quote:Interestingly, I have had several instances in which people reported being reincarnated out of temporal sequence, so the report might be literally valid after all. That's why I thought it worth sharing. For example, a person might report one life in the 1800's, the next in the 1200's, then next in 1700's or 1900's whatever. This is also uncommon.
One other thought, though, is that when I run a session, after going through a death sequence, and the person is reporting experiences in the astral, I often tell people to hold their place in the astral, so I can send them to use various resources in that state. It is possible that the regression backwards to become a rabbit was of this type, a sidetrip occurring by displacement of the viewpoint to a prior event long past, while she remained otherwise on the main forward path, perhaps in some kind of psychic limbo, which is kinda what Kardec was suggesting. Thus this might have been either an actual digression to being a rabbit, or a return to a prior incarnation not otherwise recalled. dave
Thanks Dave, for bringing up this topic for discussion, and for your sharing regarding this phenomenon. Our observation and perspective of this is in agreement with your own, and we merely wish to briefly add to this.
Certainly a most fascinating topic, and one that beautifully demonstrates the temporally transcendant nature of the human soul. This is not 'time travel' per se, or at least not in the way some might misunderstand (the concepts of time and travel across it).
First, let us begin with a simplified example of reincarnation seemingly non-linear in the temporal sense. During past life regression, a soul first recalls a past life during 500 BC, then the next incarnation (recalled in sequence) takes place in 1000 AD, and then the next incarnation (recalled in sequence) after that takes place during the time of Christ.
And yet, clearly, the sequence is not random, but meaningful. This is the part which some find disturbing, because it appears to imply time travel across the normal temporal sequence of the physical universe, which is physically illogical and impossible (within a single space-time continuum reality, without crossing over to alternate universes, which incidentally and naturally, are infinite in number).
Now, in order to explain the phenomon on several different levels (or aspects), we shall use a number of simplified analogies.
A person applies for a University course. Due to his unique subject combination (ie.
stories of the soul), and the available timetable schedules of the University (ie.
dense physical opportunities), he may experience the following :
Semester 1
Calculus I
Genetics II
Quantum Physics I
Semester 2
Calculus III
Genetics I
Quantum Physics IV
Semester 3
Calculus IV
Genetics III
Quantum Physics II
Semester 4
Calculus II
Genetics IV
Quantum Physics III
Of course, such 'jumping across' modules are not always possible, as many modules have modular prerequisites, though not necessarily all, nor always compulsory. And yet, there is meaningful sequence, recognized subconsiously by the student throughout, and also upon graduation (ie.
by the higher self who experiences across all incarnations), to the labelling of the modules as I, II, III and IV (ie.
progression of learning experiences of a mult-faceted story)
Another analogy (for the more computer technology inclined), would be the way data is stored on a harddisk. A certain file (ie.
stories of the soul), would be chopped up into many pieces and stored across the harddisk. When the Operating System (OS) (ie.
higher self) accesses these bits and pieces of data, it will assemble them not in chronological [ie.
temporal) order in which these were stored (ie.
experienced) on the harddisk (ie.
dense physical), but rather assembled and used in the order of meaninful sequence as per the underlying intention of the OS (ie.
higher self) which chose to spread it out across the harddisk in the first place.
Thus, during regression, as well as from the perspective of the higher self (who exists and operates not only within time, but across it), the person would recall the sequence of past lives in the most didactically / pedagogically / spiritually meaningful sequence, with regards to specific issues or 'stories of the soul', rather than in the (much less meaningful) temporal sequence.
The next aspect we wish to emphasize as being important to understand, is the nature of the soul and its relationship with the nature of time. The soul certainly does travel across time, but *not* in the physical sense, ie. not 'against' the natural temporal sequence of the physical space-time continuum, as conceptualized by hollywood movies such as "Back to the Future", or the more recent "Star Trek Enterprise" TV series, etc.
(Such time travel technologies *do* indeed exist, and are studied and developed extensively by certain extraterrestrial civlizations who specialize in this complex science, but this entails crossing space-time continuums into what are known as 'alternate universes', and is quite a separate topic from the temporally transcendent nature of the soul we are speaking of here).
The hypnotherapist, especially those who correctly utilize Past Life Therapy (PLT), Life-Between-Life (LBL) regressions, Spirit Releasement Therapy (PLT) for the maximum benefit of their subjects, will better understand how the consciousness of the soul, travels across time. This is itself, demonstrated by regression. We do not refer to simply passive recall of events, but indeed, an active learning, healing and progression during these regressions.
For instance, regressing out of body to a past life in which a traumatic incident occurred, the consciousness of the past, experiencing the full blast of the trauma, and not having the post-experience wisdom of the present day consciousness, might be severely agonized and fragmented. Going back (extraphysically) to the past, the present day consciousness might share its wisdom (and support and love), in terms of the fuller picture, why the experience occurred, what it really meant, the higher perspective, with the consciousness of the past, it's own past life self. The healing which takes place, including reintegration of energies, verily occurs across time.
In other words, the soul does not travel against time in the physical, to be precise, the soul travels across time *within* itself (its multi-dimensional and trans-temporal self).
Because the past life You, the present life You, the future You; they are *all* YOU (the one same YOU). And thusly, not only can You travel across time, you certainly DO! (ie. by virture of your simultaneous existence across time!).
Now, you don't need hypnosis to travel across time, you can (and already often) do this, travelling across time in your consciousness, as you recall the past, imagine and connect with the future, etc. However, for the majority of intraphysical humans, due to lack of public eduation on the multi-dimensional and multi-temporal nature of reality and of the human soul, most people do not utilize this to their benefit, nor (utilize this understanding) anywhere near their own potential for karmic learning and spiritual evolution, across all their issues.
Hence, for the reader who has now firmly decided to maximize his/her evolution and existential potential (including completion of current incarnation's existential program)
Note, in addition, that due to the trans-temporal capacities and flexibilities of the soul, you need not worry that, "
What if my current lifetime is meant to 'suffer' the consequences of a 'future' lifetime not yet lived, thanks a bunch, higher self!", which is of course nonsense (and for many reasons). That is to say, the greater overall picture, the greater trans-temporal and multi-incarnational jigsaw of the higher self or Soul's mosaic picture, is subject to flexible input from each and all of it's incarnations across time; to be precise, the consciousness can experience, and benefit from, across any of the incarnations across time, and alter the greater Soul mosaic picture, at any time, because the Soul exists simultaneously across time. It transcends time.
That is to say, and here is the great important lesson, that
so long as you maximize your current present existence and incarnation to the best of your efforts and capacity, you have (in a very *real* way) the capacity and power to alter your Soul's piture, (and hence) compulsorily including (the consciential significances of, and lessons from) your past lives and (the natural consequent details of, nature and destiny of) your future lives. All of this, right now, in the present. And this you have the power to do, always.This communication above, is of incredible importance, as it has the power to turn around or transform all manner of tragic energies from past lives (eg. such as the traumatic pain of cruelly forced separation from a loved one in a past life, etc), into no less than profound enlightenments in the present, that not only dramatically shifts the energies of the past from the darkness into the light, but as well powerfully alter the karma for this issue and the future consequences in relation to the relationship or issue.
At this point in the discussion, in which we now come to a close, there are several highly relevant related subject areas for the interested reader to peruse, if he/she/you have not already done so.
