Seraphita, I think it's even possible that our future, way more evolved selves
can, if needed, help our present day selves. I think Now contains past and
future and it's just a matter of sufficient brain development for us to be able
to live that reality. For example, finding old photos of
This is a very weak defense of your beliefs. As a Buddhist you should
already know that the Buddha's rationale for teaching hinged on the fact
that he became enlightened - and the nature of his enlightenment.
According to the Buddha himself, at the moment he became enlightened he

That's a great question, Richard: for whom is one seeking enlightenment? And I
think it changes over time. Hopefully!

There's really no past, present or future in the Field. In a parallel
universe events are occurring simultaneously. So, a person doesn't go
'back into the past' or 'into the future' because the Field is a unity
where history is not divided by concepts of time.

Except that in my experiences of past life info coming, in each case the info
helped me to understand what was going on in a current relationship. That was
useful.

I have had a number of past life recalls, if you can call it that, mainly as
you wrote where I was there again and not imagining it. Mostly it was being a

We have the sworn testimony of the TurquoiseB that reincarnation is
possible because the Turq said he remembered a past life. Also, his
teacher, the Zen Master Rama, related to the Turq all Rama's past lives:
Zen Master, Kyoto, Japan 1531-1575
Head of Zen Order, Kyoto, Japan 1602-1671

Thanks for the fascinating story, empty. My first experience was just words.
Later I realized that the words were the result of a previous life event. All
experiences have come during ordinary life, unbidden but welcome for their
usefulness. Once a long term dear friend and I had a bad
Van and I had lots of experiences about our previous lives together. Usually we
had different ones except one from primitive times he had and shared, then I
saw it too, quite easily. The bad one was when suddenly I saw us in a medieval

It didn't take this thread long to go to shit. This must be the point in
the conversation when it gets personal. Go figure.

Seraphita, my experience of knowledge of previous lives has nothing to do with
my accessing it. It comes of its own accord, usually in the context of a
current day relationship. Each time it has helped me understand the dynamics of
that relationship.
Knowledge of previous lives is one of the
There's a highly sceptical account of past-life regression on Wiki. (I wonder
how some of these Wiki entries aren't challenged by those who beg to differ.)
The conclusion is: scientific consensus is that the memories are the result of
cryptomnesia, narratives created by the subconscious mind
How do you know they weren't challenged, but the challenges were overruled? Do
you ever click the Talk tab at the top of a Wikipedia page to read the

I learned something new also; that's pretty interesting and it is right in
front of our noses. I just read the Talk on the Mata Amritanandamayi Wiki
article. Pretty humorous (just the creepy aspect of my humor showing itself).

He probably had to go to work, but all Hindus and Buddhists believe in

The 'Bodhisattva' is mentioned in the Pali scriptures. The Bodhisattva
vow is the vow taken by Mahayana Buddhists to attain complete
enlightenment for the sake of all sentient beings. Both the Theravada
and the Mahayana unanimously accept the Bodhisattva ideal as the highest.

You are not even making any sense - the Bodhisattva vow is the vow taken
by Mahayana Buddhists to attain complete enlightenment for the sake of
all sentient beings, not to forsake enlightenment until everyone else
is enlightened. How do you get things so mixed up? Go figure.
