An Overview
Another very touchy topic, some
religions certainly do believe in previous lives while others, such as the
Christian religions do not. It has been said that up until the first council of
Nicea in 324AD the teaching of past lives was present in the Christian
doctrine, though after the council it was struck out and no longer accepted.
Past Lives certainly makes a lot of sense and certainly can explain a lot of
things about ourselves and humanity at large.
Past lives explain much about our
present tendencies, likes, dislikes, strengths, weaknesses and happenings in
our present life. Past lives explain our current bouts of fortune and
misfortune. There is a reason behind everything that happens to us and we have
what we have due to merits. That is, we have what we deserve or have worked
for. Implying then that the causes of what we have and are, lie in our past and
if we can’t find these causes in this life, they are hidden in one or more of
our previous lives.
The Gnostic view holds that human
beings have one life, and that same flow of life over time, takes on several
different human personalities or human existences.
Our past life memories are hidden
in our subconscious and what really matters is to unearth them, to verify for
ourselves that human beings have past lives and by studying our past lives,
come to know and understand why we are the way we are.
The Gnostic study of past lives focus
on the importance of past lives, the teachings related to past lives and most
important of all; techniques and practices to remember our past lives.
