Past Lives Post 1 of 4: Why Remember - (2867)

Benefits

This post is about the benefits of remembering our past lives.

Below in point form are some of the benefits of working to remember our past lives, which also are the reasons why we want to remember our previous lives.


See Who We Really Are

We can who we really are. We get the chance to see ourselves as an essence, which is the one that has traveled from life to life. This person that we are and the person that we were can not travel into the next life.

It also shows us that we are not home and here - the planet Earth is not home. Home is where we stop travelling. We have been and are right now still travelling - transmigrating.

Seeing this point, that we are an essence, we see that we are part of a very big scheme of things.

Loose Fear

If we really accept past lives we will trust that we will have another life and that we will see those whom we love again. This life is not so bad is it? So the next will not be as bad either.

We have died so many times before and we are ok now. So our coming death will be ok too and soon will be a joyful child looking upon the world with renewed wonder and awe.

Inflated or Humiliated

Over our many lives we were so many different people. Some wealthy and successful and some miserable and poor.

The Buddha is said to have said the following: ‘Who toiled a slave may come anew a prince, for gentle worthiness and merit won. Who ruled a king may wander Earth in rags, for things done and undone.’

Sorry out of time...Will complete over the weekend - my weekend assignment.

Karma Explained

The karma that we have can only really be explained by taking into account our past. Karma works in time and space. Karma was accrued in time and in space and so will be paid in time and space.

Knowing what we did in our past lives gives us knowledge, and knowledge gives us meaning. Knowledge makes sense of the karma that we have right now.

The meaning that we gleam from our past lives gives us the love and strength to pay our karmic debts. Meaning very much so diminishes our suffering.

    I have past life memory of at least 5 or 6 different lives. Seeing some past mistakes has made me careful to choose opposite action and avoid repeat outcomes. Some say whats the point of remembering when you have to live this one. By experience the past life awareness is very helpful in paying karma without reinventing it.

Attention with Mind, Attention with Essence - (5197)

These two attentions are different. Attention with the mind tires the brain. and reduces the flow of life into steps, where it is inevitable that the narration of the mind begins to take over. With the awareness of steps comes a certain tediousness and the feeling of the flow of life leaving us behind. With the attention of mind very little of what's behind events comes to us... Attention with the essence brings the power of presence, in other words brings a certain depth and continuity of flow  Attention with the essence doesn't tire or strain and opens doorways into perceiving what is behind events and the thoughts and feelings that appear within us. It allows us also to flow with the flow of life, which is a pleasant feeling. Conclusion, make the essence bring attention to outer and inner life. End (5197).

The Sacred Substance Askokin - (962)

Introduction In simple terms, the sacred Askokin substance is the result of the mercury and the sulphur. It is the transmuted energy that crystallises to form the internal bodies (astral, mental and causal). In other words, it is the transmutation of our sexual energies. The Abrustdonis’ and ‘Helkdonis that Gurdjieff mentions in the excerpt below, taken from “Belzeebub’s Tales to His Grandson” are none other than the elements of mercury and the sulphur so spoken about in Alchemy. Excerpt on the Sacred Substance Askokin “I first learned that the destiny of beings arising on this planet of yours is chiefly to elaborate—by means of the process of their existence—the vibrations required by Nature for the maintenance of those former parts of the planet now called Moon and Anulios, when, do you remember, I became worthy personally to converse for the second time with His Conformity the then still Angel, but now Archan...

Wisdom from the Movie “Kingdom of Heaven” - (2168)

Introduction There are some movies that leave you with some pieces of advice that at point or another in your life or in the lives of others prove useful. This movie: “Kingdom of Heaven” was terrible to watch (too many battle scenes and people dying) but offered some very useful messages. In this post, I have presented a few, that have come in handy at point or another. Just to give you a bit of context, the movie is about the crusades, where the French and English were trying to defend the “Holy City” – Jerusalem from Islamic occupation. The topic of religion and God is a constant theme in the movie. It is very violent though, matching it frankly, quite awful to watch. Your Soul is in Your Keeping Alone An interesting dialogue between the French appointed king of Jerusalem and French Knight, the protagonist of the movie. Note, the king wears that metal mask because he has leprosy. King Baldwin I...
