Hey guys, sorry to start so many threads, there is just so much I want to know. Ok so this may be a simple question, but it probably deserves a detailed answer:

If/when we are reincarnated, are we able to remember our past lives once we return from earth?

I think this is a very scary feeling to think we wouldn't be able to remember our past lives. Because if we are reincarnated again and forget this life, then I will forget everyone I loved in this life. For that reason, I can't really believe in reincarnation, or i would have to say i only believe in reincarnation if you get to remember your past lives. Still, I would sway towards non-reincarnation because I can't imagine loving someone else so much and being able to forget them and move to my next life.


Thanks for all the thoughts and inputs!

I haven't read that many sources regarding reincarnation, but they tend to suggest that when you return to the spirit World you retain your memory of what took place before you were born into a current incarnation. Not only do you remember past lives, you also remember beings that you know in the spirit World.

There's a viewpoint that reincarnation doesn't work precisely as people think. Rather, there are spirits we're connected to in the spirit World, and when we return to the spirit World we share our experiences with them (or even as our incarnation takes place).  Later on, when we exist as spirits, we'll benefit from the experiences of future incarnated people, just as current spirit beings benefit from us now.

With this viewpoint in mind, perhaps some spirit beings will reincarnate because they're really attached to the physical, or for some other reason.

I can't say for certain what's true, but I tend to like the viewpoint I just posted more than the common viewpoint of reincarnation.  Hundreds or even thousands of physical incarnations. I shudder to think about it.

Yea, I definitely could agree with recoverer's view of reincarnation because when in the spirit world, I think you can most likely feel other peoples emotions, therefore learning while in the spirit world.

Thanks for the input, anymore is very welcomed

Hi, joejoe2288,

You say, "... If/when we are reincarnated, are we able to remember our past lives once we return from earth?..."

Well, personally I believe that we do but, obviously, cannot prove it. My reasoning is that during past life regressions (of which I`ve expereinced a few now) we are taken back to previous existences in the physical. Now, if our soul/spirit from those existences went to the Afterlife without being able to remember them how would we be able to remember such experiences in our present incarnation? In other words, how would forgotten experiences be able to be brought forward to later incarnations?

Also, spooky2 is correct when he says "... Maybe you know the ones you love now from another life and you chose to meet again in this life, a start as new human persons, but maybe not so new as spirit...", as proved by Dr. Brian L. Weiss in his excellent series of books on past life regressions. In his last one, Mirrors of Time, he includes a past life regression CD so you can try it for yourself. It`s excellent! Have a go, you will be surprised at the results.
In one of my past life regressions my partner was my daughter. There is no doubt our families/friends were families/friends in previous existences, but in different roles - all part of the learning curve.

I had an experience where I remembered what it was like before I incarnated.

I heard my self say "I'll miss you."

I heard a man's voice say back "I know."

I had strong feeling of the concern I had about the difficulties I might go through during this incarnation, and I felt like I would miss the spirit I was talking to.

Yes muslima23, hallucination, just like everything else too. Or can you provide a proof for the truth of any perception we do have?

I don't remember my past lives either,but somehow
its just a knowing inside that I have been here before. Have you ever met someone and could swear you have known them,or you just seem to recocnize them but just can't put a finger on from where? This happens to me often. I don't think we are supposed to remember our past lives because it might ruin the lessons we are to learn in this lifetime. I read a good book called "Journey of Souls" by Michael Newton about ten years ago when my mother passed, it helped with alot of questions I had at that time, maybe it can answer some of yours.
