I have not done SSRS's eternity process although I have talked with teachers who have done it. Although simple in procedure, apparently it can be a pretty intense three-hour process. The general idea of looking at our affinity with a particular person from the past may show us something about our own psychological composition. However it pales in comparison with past-life recall. But if we also move past recall and move deeper into actually reliving a past-lifetime then we may find ourselves unprepared for what we experience. The good news is that there are methods to station awareness outside of a particular past-life personality so the current-life person can observe past-life events in a more dispassionate way. The bad news is that most people don't know how to do this. Back in the 80's, I trained in a past-life regression method with a group of people lead by a reader-conductor team with years of experience in this method. The past-life regression training occurred at the end of four years of work with many other techniques for developing subtler forms of perception. It was also done in the context of a larger group ranging in size from 30-50 people. After completing the reader-conductor training and doing reading for other people for a while, I suddenly started wondering about the karma of the group, particularly the gang of five people I had worked so closely with for six years. Since two of the five were the original teachers, I went to them and suggested that we do a reading on ourselves as a collective group. They suggested that rather than depend upon someone else we use the tools we had trained in and independently research for any past life connections using only our own minds. So we did. Later, we enhanced our past-life perceptual training skills by combining them with various form of pranayama. This intensified the experience of these past-life imprints to a degree that was unimaginable before actually amplifying the technique. This may also have been a very foolish mistake. By combining a deep level recollection technique with pranayama, I personally found myself launched into a full three-dimensional immersion in that past lifetime, at once enveloping and unrelenting. The results were at first intriguing, then exhilarating. However, as we dug deeper into the various past-life details the other members found these past-life immersions to be quite troubling. This past lifetime wasn't the kind of vision they liked seeing, it was just too dark and overwhelming. Finally, I began pushing everyone to plunge into the past and resolve the karma of that time. Another big mistake! Yah, we went back to that lifetime. We plunged into the imprint pool with intense pranayama and then went down the immersion drain. And surprise we all went into horrific final experiences of being violently killed and for some of us, tortured as part of it. Since all of this was in full 3-D absorption it was more intense than any movie and more terrible than any imagination. The results were predictable of course. Most of the others freaked-out and stopped meeting together. I ended up walking around like a ghost for eight months. In a way it was funny. The others thought they were real yogi types last lifetimes. Not so. For my part, the details showed me that I had an Asura for a guru last lifetime. It also proved to me that from an Asura you could only receive an Asura's result total destruction. - So much for past lives. ps: Things aren't always what they seem, Even skim milk parades as cream.
