Memories Of Before Birth

[sparklekaz]

We often talk about past life memory. What I would like to know, is of the time before birth when we resided in the spirit world/heaven. Dr Brian Weiss talks about this subject in many of his books, the time between lives. I would love to know what your thoughts are about this. Do you have any memories of this time? What do you believe happens to the spirit/soul in this transitional or resting phase before rebirth?

Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:
The Soul that rises with us, our life's star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting,
And cometh from afar:
Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come
From God, who is our home... William Wordsworth

I don't remember anything about me past. I am learning there is a reason for this but I do not want to know. At least not right now. I also am learning if or when I am able to embrace the present then the past will also be available. You can't have one without the other.

I think maybe part of the human duality might be to identify with fact or fantasy, mundane or arcane; persons more obsessed with the practical physical aspects of existance probably do not have happy memories being in "limbo". For some I imagine it would be exactly the opposite.

I was tempted to ask this question at me last "sensitivity training" session but was too scared to do so. How does an intelligent "loner" get all that help in the afterlife he/she could never realise when they were alive ? Can things really be that much different? As above so below. In my experience you dream at night what you experienced during the day. No more no less.

Hi kaz and gruntal,

Maybe this will be a bit off topic but hope it's still a bit close?

I just watched Hereafter ( directed by Clint Eastwood) a few week ago. For our friends who haven’t watched it, I do recommend it. Here’s its summary. (I got it from here and there and rewrite it.)
There people are connected by the afterlife: Marie (de France), a French journalist, has a near-death experience that shakes her reality; George (Damon) is an American genuine psychic who has a special connection to the afterlife; a London schoolboy, just loses his twin brother and desperately needs answers.

What I love about this movie is its sincerity. It shows how some lone doctor (s) tried to tell/share the world about the afterlife even it might ruin their career. And how the real psychic/spiritual person has to become a very loner. People are not ready to accept the truth. And maybe they never will. On the other hand, I have a feeling that those who don’t believe in the afterlife, somehow they do unconsciously believe it. They still need their second chance, to be reborn. Who doesn’t? The irony is why they cannot accept that they believe in it?
To be honest, I really don’t know about afterlife or the past life. However, I cannot say I don’t believe in it. I can only say, “I honestly don’t know.” But I have no trouble to embrace about the afterlife. I read long time ago about human memory field. I’m kind of like it. The past life and after life are human memory fields. It’s out there as real as radio wave or electromagnetic field. Who can tune in these waves will know so much about the afterlife. Though it may be only scientific theory but a good one.

Hi Karen,

I really was intrigued by your thread “Memories of before Birth” and I am sorry for late response and I kept getting distracted with other stuff, but I really wanted to reply as soon as I had a chance. I have had some experiences of glimpses of my guide’s lives. I did do a past life meditation a while back (approx. a year or so ago) and did pick up on something...I saw myself on a plantation in America in the late 1800’s. My name was Sarah and I could see my house which had big white columns outside it, and although it was not the ‘White House’ I felt I did have strong connections to ‘The White House’.

I could see a rocking chair and I knew that rocking chair meant something to me, but I was unable to remember. I had a date also pop into my head August 12th 87, I felt that was a very important date to remember for some reason (so I wrote it down along with my name). I saw myself in a beautiful creamy satin dress with matching flat shoes. I could see I had long feet, so I imagined I was tall in stature. I saw my hair was parted in the middle and I had ringlets either side of the parting and like a bun at the back, I was unable to see my face though.

I felt happy and content and like I was a woman of means or came from a wealthy family. All this took but just a few moments to recall and the images were gone as quick as I could see them, but I felt they were more than images, they felt like memories of someone I used to be, if that makes sense. Anyway I did do some research on what I could remember and here is what I found: www.firstladies.org/biographies/firstladies.aspx?biography=12

I never heard of this woman before but there are so many similarities between us its uncanny. I used to love politics (Irish Politics, not U.S) but no longer follow it now. My husband is James, and at age 18 I was told I would never have children, but thankfully we were blessed with a boy, plus many more similarities without going into all the details. Now of course it could just be a coincidence but I don’t believe in coincidence and anyway while reading about this woman her life, it really resonated with me, like as I was reading I was also seeing, remembering what it was like, like flashbacks. Was I this woman in a past life? Who knows for sure, but what I do know is I was able to connect with her energy and remember some of her memories.

Obviously, the date 87 was her age at her death, but at a guess, I think August 12th was when she got sick, but she actually died on the 14th of August. I am still searching for information on her beloved rocking chair, but I have found nothing as yet, but I may take up the search again seeing I am sharing all this now. Make of this what you will my friends, I am still searching for answers and I am not claiming that I was this lady in a past life, but I am also not dismissing it either

I have had a recent ‘past life recall’ but I have not a lot of info on it or none that I am able to link with, I only have my name Cassandra or Kassandra and I am tall and in a palace or temple someplace with columns. I am tall and slender with a long tight green dress...at a guess I would say Greek style or Egyptian style. I have no shoes on but like a gold band wrapped around my right leg, like a snake, but it wasn’t a snake. I am not a slave but I feel i may be a servant or someone to royalty, but I am in fear of my life. When all of a sudden a man pushes a spear straight into the middle of my chest...and I can see myself laid on the floor with the spear sticking out of my chest as I float up above my body...going higher and higher. Funny thing is I actually have a ‘Birthmark’ right in the middle of my chest and the shape would correspond with a spear shape. I have no other info on this, except for sadness for this poor young girl, who was about 25-30years old at a guess.

Anyway I just wanted to share what I have experienced.

Love and Light

HI Friends,

If anyone is interested in the subject of life between lives and what it holds for us as evolving souls. I highly recommend you look into the books by Dr. Michael Newton -- Journey of Soul's and Destiny of Soul's. Dr. Newton's compilation of recorded reports of 100's of people's experiences via deep trance hypnosis over a 40 year cyle..... which is even deeper then the Brian Weiss past life regressions books and process to me. It is very insightful and for myself, who had had a death and return experience at 13 and life between life has been one of my spiritual interests and studies over 50 years, gave me a new perspective on the process and what happens ( in what form do we exist, what do we experience, who do we meet etc etc) and added depth and some clarity from what I understood about the process from esoteric studies.


peace

There is truth by degrees in everything: the western idea of purgatory, and the eastern Kama Loca equivalent as two examples. No, we don't need to be purified in order to enter heaven. Heaven - Pure Spirit - is our birthright. What happens upon death is we undergo a self-evaluation whereby we review our just-completed life. It's during this evaluation process that we decide which souls and which karmic threads we wish to work with in our next lifetime.

Time of course doesn't exist in the realm of Pure Spirit. From a human perspective, this self-evaluation process could take 200 years between incarnations, or it might be 2 years. To the soul, that part of it is irrelevant. The soul will reincarnate when the appropriate karmic alignments are all in order.

I remember my Soul in like a coffen made like concreat, but open on top, someonr said wake up, so I did, this person pu its hand on my sholder while he talked, he said I was going to go to arenna like thing to determin what Planet I was to live on, then very quick I was a cristal type being that could generate beems of energy beams like lazers out my eyes and hand together. The battle begain the other being sent a big lazer beam at me, I reflected it using my energy and his back to him, thinking I got him, but he used my energy and his and shoot it back to me I just stood there and got killed like, alls I seen is bright yellow ornge colar like and this person again said you lost putting his hand on my sholder said your going to live on this small planet they call earth, being happy to do so I remember like flying down through layers of light picking things up around me adding things around my Soul till I was born as a crying new born baby , this memery stayed with me all through my life . Oh ya in that battle that person that put his hand on my sholder said I forgot to reflect, then when I got on a spiritual path I learned about the other bodys our Soul has ethoric, mental, casual astral and physical that theses were the bodys I was picking up before I was born, now this seemed like I was coming from the Soul Plane, not the Astral Plane were one goes and reincarnates again, but I realy don't know. But Its the Soul that has these memorys that will flash back to the human mind for some reasonl just like our dreams when were asleep , I know this sounds crazyl but its what I rember
