Increasing Awareness

[AndreaFrances]

A few years ago I became aware of a possible past life.There were signs in certain skills I had,which were definitely not learned in this life.I wanted to know as much as I could about another life experience that seemed to still be attached to me.The idea of countless lives had not occurred to me yet,and I was focused on remembering just one life in particular.Compare that to now,where I am remembering many lives across centuries.I almost feel like I didnt find this..it found me.What needs to be remembered is coming to my attention, because I have simply opened the door and the process is not blocked anymore.Some days I remember quite a few things and other days nothing..but the memories just kind of flow when they are triggered.Has anyone else found this to be true?Do you feel like a path in your mind was unblocked?Is your awareness and memory increasing?

Yes. This often happens. There is often a 'flood' once the door is opened. It usually settles down in a while.


It's also because thoughts that you may have had before, and dismissed as 'daydreaming' or similar you are more inclined to pay attention to.


I have often just had a stray thought pop into my head and been pretty sure it's not present life related. Later I will investigate it further and this can often lead to more memories.

I agree...everything changes when you simply consider that all your thoughts may not be from this reality alone.I often randomly think back to the civil war era and feel an attachment.I used to dismiss that as my mind wandering..but now I know the difference.

I agree with Tanguerra, once you allow the thoughts/memories in... once you recognize them, you've opened a door. For me, the deeper I go into the silent world of meditation, the more I understand these flits of thought. I think that when we're children, as Carol says--under 6, we have the ability to grasp the memories. Our psyche has yet to try to control things perhaps... or maybe ego. As we age we allow social conditioning to bury the memories. Cultural and religious norms build fences around our true nature. But we dreamers can peek through the cracks, some can scale the fence. Others sit back and call the fence names.


Blessings to you.
