I just recently wrote my view on past lives (which is actually not exactly the same as reincarnation) to Michael. It follows here. (Expect some possible controversial angle in my view, but don't worry I am not hung up on it.) ----- About past lives... That is a very touchy issue, I do not adhere to the concept that I, you or anybody has ('owns') personal past lives in the sense that an individual soul has a unique linear past that runs through other unique individuals other than parental ancestry ones. Although you have noticed me talking about my memories of being the apostle John, Jesus, Adam, (also Elija) and various others, I do not accept that they are my personal past lives. I know of some people who claimed having identical past lives as others... That cannot be or... it works differently. The concept of Akashic records is way more plausible, it allows each of us to access memory of any past beings. Which being or beings depends on what a current individual needs to glean from the wisdom and/or life experiences of previous living human beings or other entities. The Akashic records are like a 'holistic life library' that one can borrow a book from. A life that happens to be especially helpful in aiding one's progress in healing, is retrievable and accessible by anyone IF needed. One can therefore say that everyone who ever lived before, is a past life of everyone who currently lives or will live... When we say "We are all one," that must count for the past as well. See what I mean? One can even say that YOU are my parallel life and I am yours. That actually concurs with current scientific findings about about multiple, parallel universes or worlds. (Discussing that here would at this point take too long though.) All kinds of 'past lives' concepts need to be re-thought. They don't work, except in the stories that people tell which most of the times are dramatizations to embellish their attachments. (I know, I did the same until I saw how I was making interpretations that I could in all honesty and humility not uphold.) The concept of past life karma being worked out in a current life (ERA's boomerang effect) contains too much human judgment... Something that can not come from unconditional divine compassion. It all works differently. A lot of myths have been brought into current "new age" understandings or assumptions. We need to demythologize our understanding. The way that people usually talk about past lives is from a standpoint of separation (seemingly lost love) while they are on their way to re-discovering unconditional love in Human-Divine Oneness and Uniqueness. Each of us is at the same time a unique individual representation of God, as we are also - we recognize that when we REDISCOVER unconditional human love - identical to each other, holding each other as ONE and ONLY in God's love. That IS Advaita. In That Love, Wim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 It is of course possible to have a set of statements here moving from the material plane to the causal and ending with the 'all has been done' but as this is connected to 'my task is finished', there is something to be known. So as any sensible person would answer yes to every question a line ranging from the physical worlds laws and onwards the contradictory nature of this set will also tell us something. I have earlier observed some very interesting details on linear/ nonlinear connections between the physical and subtle plane without pursuing them further (a good way to stay sane : ) and your words triggered a mental activity of indexing. I work with the strict logics of programming and this now requires my attention, but if I dive really deep into it I also 'snap out of it', a nice effect of all the hours of concentration. By the way, I got no response from anyone on my suggestion for sort of parking some of these cars and I wonder if these lists are a trick of the mind : ) When googling on one of the arguments here I came upon the exact same discussion years back with some of the same participants.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 OM NAMO BHAGAVATE SRI RAMANAYA Dear Harsha Dear unknown devotees of Ramana Dear members of this wonderful Sangha i learned so much being with you, confronting my oiwn habitual ways of thinking and feeling. Thank you. I joined this Satsangh because i wanted to learn from the experiences of others practicing what i try to do: do live my inner being. MY understanding for all of you and for my self grew but please note even here in this Satsangh even here with this wonderful unknown Harsha i meet - naive like i am so many time how could it be otherwise? - all the poison i meet since being "born" as "a jew" in this "world" during the "Holocaust" Everything a dream - i feel it - but its effects we all experience somehow. Even here this terrible poison of spreading division instead of unity and behind wonderful argument, wonderful they are. But so many times without the warmth of passion of compassion of love. I ask with all due respekt and love from all of us to stop spreading this poison. What has all this to do with RAMANA GD LOVE? Everyone with a little real intuition a little real feeling and much modesty humbleness - in spite of huge amount of socalled knowledge socalled fact - must feel this terrible poison spreading in our beloved group - like everywhere in the world now. Dear Harsha please use your influence one and for all to stop this poison. I am not talking about right or wrong who is to blame or not how old one is how long he is in our group how long he she practices ENOUGH IS ENOUGH Dear you are spreading poison because you are poisoned yourself and i know it because i suffered the same from the other side of the table could you not like i did just listen to the advice of people who care for you? Dear Christiane please in all love be beware of your deep rooted prejudices and habitual feelings and thinking to discover them we all have to open up completely to our own "suffering" which of course is all illusion mindstuff egostuff but neverheless it hurts as long as we have not really found our roots. And believe me this an endless way moment to moment to live and please do not forget konwledge as knowledge is worth nothing like beloved RAMANA said TO ALL i love to be with you but this poison is incredible and its really necessary to stop it in due respect and compassion for all of us i ask for being excused if having unknowlingly and of course unintentionally having hurt somebodies ego in Raman Maharshi michael >"yosyx" <yosyflug > Subject: > Re: to ERA NO GOD Sun, 24 Oct 2004 >04:27:24 -0000 > > >, Sam <S.Pasiencier@p...> wrote: > op >06-10-2004 02:092314 schreef christiane cameron op > >christianecameron@m...: > > > > > To all insulters of Tony, > > > > > > >Tony is a strict advaitin and talking in those terms only.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Yes, one does want to find the truth. In any books of faith or spiritual studies... throught my observation... one does not preach what one does not experience... There is also such a thing called spiritual arrogance.
