REMEMBERING PAST LIFE IDENTITIES

February 27, 2024 LRS

During the past 10,000 years on Earth the average life span of a human being was between 25 to 40 years of age. That’s assuming that you survived child birth. Infant mortality rates were about 30 percent! To survive to adulthood (14 – 18 years) you had to avoid dying from one hundreds of infectious diseases, starvation, freezing, accidental injuries, wars and plagues. Just as in modern life, 99% of the population are “normal” people, i.e. uneducated peasants, soldiers, workers, homemakers, etc.. Far fewer than 1% were famous persons like kings, pharaohs, Genghis Khan, Shakespeare, Napoleon, or Alexander The Great (who died at the age of 32). So, if you have trouble remembering your IDENTITIES (amnesia) as a human being during the past 10,000 years or more don’t worry about it. Chances are you lived a short, tedious, miserable, painful, illiterate existence and died in anonymity – not very pleasant lives to remember!

THE OTHER SIDE

“The Oriental teacher never fails to wonder at the many evidences of the result of mere theory and dogmatic teaching on the part of the majority of the teachers and preachers of the Western world. These so‑called teachers are like the “blind leading the blind,” for they have no means of verifying their statements, and merely pass on what they have blindly received from others, who, in turn, have received their own instruction in the same way. In the Orient, on the contrary, one meets with so many persons of developed higher psychic and spiritual sense, to whom the phenomena of “the other side” is as familiar as is the phenomena of “this side,” that the “other side” seems as real and actual as does the ordinary environment of earth‑life.”

But, from the same reasons, the developed Oriental occultist finds himself confronted with a most perplexing, not to say discouraging task when he attempts to convey his knowledge on this subject to Western students. The Western mind instinctively refuses to accept truth in the manner of the mind of the Oriental student. Not having realized by actual experience certain fundamental psychic and spiritual facts, which serve as a basis for the detailed teaching, the Western mind naturally demands “actual proof” of these basic facts before being willing to proceed further. Inasmuch as these facts must first be experienced to be known, no amount of argument ever serves to bring that conviction of truth which should serve as the fundamental basis for the detailed teaching. Consequently by the Western student, the general basic statements of the teacher are accepted either purely on faith, or else regarded as mere guesses or speculation on the part of the teacher. And, as there are thousands of such guesses and speculative theories advanced in the Western world, the student may well be excused from refusing to accept any of them as truth, for, as he often argues, “one guess is as good as another.”

# 485 BE YOUNG FOREVER.

As a disembodied spirit you probably don’t show your age as much as you did when you were in a body. If you are an immortal spiritual being you are infinitely aged and will continue to be infinitely ageless.

There have been quite a few spiritual sages from the ancient east, like Buddha in India or Lao Tze in China, for example, who have contemplated the nature of the spirit. If the rumors are true, they were able to transcend the continual cycle of life, death and rebirth.

Apparently the process of birth, death and rebirth predisposes one to suffer from reoccurring amnesia so that one tends to forget the life just lived.

Part of this has to do with the loss of the body and possessions through which you established your identity while on Earth. When you lost your body and possessions you also felt as though you lost your “self” or your “identity”.

Conversely, if one does not identify oneself as their possessions or as their body, one is less likely to forget their actual, spiritual identity. Therefore, if you decide to go back to Earth to inhabit another body, for whatever reason, don’t forget that you are who you are – the same immortal spiritual being you’ve been for billions and billions of years.

# 749 AVOID OLD AGE.

One of the most unlovely disadvantages of owning and occupying a body made of meat is decay. Use of the euphemistic term “aging” does not diminish to reality that old bodies experience one or more of the following: chronic pain, general deterioration of function, loss of energy, loss of hair, accumulation of fat, loss of muscle strength, loss of eyesight, loss of teeth, loss of sexual desire, function (which is the main reason for getting the goddamned thing in the first place!) and loss of mental acuity which leads to emotional and spiritual anxiety.

Loss of friends and family who are expiring all around you leads to loneliness and grief. The final agony of death relieves the ordeal, but only if one does not fall for the temptation to return to Earth, yet again, and get another new body and start the whole process again.

Seriously, what kind of “all-knowing, all-seeing, all-telling, all powerful creator god” would think up anything as defective, temporary and fragile as a body made of meat? Why not biodegradable plastic bodies? Or stainless steel bodies? Or lightweight titanium bodies?

If you happen to meet “the god” while you’re dead please tell it/him/her/them this: “For Christ’s sake, if you’re going to create bodies, get it right next time! OK?!”

DEATH: SHE’S NOT ALL BAD

# 549 — PRETEND YOU’VE NEVER LIVED BEFORE.
Here is a really fun exercise. Try NOT to remember lives you’ve spent in bodies during your nearly infinite past. Go ahead. Try hard. See what happens.

# 550 — STOP PAYING TAXES.
This is an easy and inexpensive pastime.
# 551 — FEEL REALLY BIG.
This game can keep you amused endlessly. Size is relative to the largeness or smallness of other objects or spaces, by comparison. Some beings think “big” means 5’11”, 210 pounds. Or, a size 14 dress.
Now that you don’t have a body, those numbers shouldn’t really matter much. You can change your mind and just BE BIG.
For starters, try feeling as big as a Volkswagen. Then, a city bus. Next, be as big as a two story house. Be as big as a an apartment building. Work your way up gradually. Don’t try to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Who do you think you are, some kind of a god or something?
Well, maybe you are a god. There really isn’t anything about you, as a disembodied spirit, that is different than the ancient gods except size, strength, ability, and desire to invade the lives of men and make them miserable. Decide for yourself.

#552 — FIGURE OUT HOW LONG TO STAY DEAD.
Now that you’ve gotten used to the idea of being dead, and have gained some confidence in your ability to “conquer death” you may decide you would like to go to Earth and get another body again.
First, you should decide how long to stay dead before jumping right back into the same mess you were in before.
The reasons for planning your arrival on Earth are multitudinous and obvious. For example, you already know that warfare is almost continuous. Try to choose a time and a location on Earth where you are least likely to be killed or forced to kill others in battle. (good luck)
If this should occur you will be dead again in another 18 years, or less, anyway so it is very important to plan your birth ahead of the “blessed event”.
If you’re able to get a female body your odds of avoiding war may be better. However, women are almost universally oppressed, abused and enslaved by men, so don’t jump into this lightly either.
Of course there are always taxes, diseases, accidents, politicians and a host of other potential calamities to avoid.
Plan carefully and choose the time and place of your arrival cautiously. And, pick a place where you already know the language. Somewhere that has running water and electricity may be a good idea too.”

LIFE AFTER DEATH

“If you attended your own funeral you are probably suffering from the loss of having a body. More important, you may be thinking that you don’t really have any identity or personality without having a body. How will anyone recognize you without your body? Fortunately, bodies are a nickel a million. Five babies are born every second. So, should you succumb to the ungodly urge to get a new baby body in order to feel a sense of personal identity, you will need to practice being cute. The only reason people have babies – and keep them – is because they think babies are cute. The same principle applies to all living creatures. So, brush up on looking cute, making cute sounds, doing cute mannerisms, cute smiles, cute laughs, etc.. You’ll need to have your cute skills in top form when and if you get a new body.”
