Fresh Green Chi and a Past Life Memory Poll
Saturday July 21, 2007
Past life memories, I've had a few. How important are they? Are they real or are such memories merely tricks of our imaginations? Clearly these are the types of questions that evolve into more questions. And what about parallel lives? See.... another question. My new poll is really about me wanting to know more about the memories you've had than the possible lifetimes you've lived. How did these memories come to you? What was your recall like? Please answer the poll (check all boxes that apply). Also, please feel free to post your comments about reincarnation and past lives.

Though I have no specific memories, I’ve always been obsessed with the relationships between masters and slaves, and other relationships governed by power dynamics. I have an odd proclivity for names and honorifics. I think I was probably someone’s slave in the Victorian era. I either had a romantic relationship with this person (I’m almost sure it was a woman) or had a strong, platonic relationship with her. I think things ended badly though because thinking about these memories causes me a lot of pain, as if things were never resolved. A psychic told me this is a thought form, not a past life, but it’s so potent that I think it is more than mere imagining. It’s hard to disentangle what is possibly part of a memory and what is mere fantasy, since I do have an active fantasy life. I hope to one day find whoever I was enslaved to and come to some sort of understanding.
In my early 20s I began to have a very strange sensation about once per year. The sensation began along with a very odd smell. The sensation would then take me into a trance for several seconds where I closed my eyes, and felt that I was being pushed, head first, slliding down a long soft snug tube of some sort.
After several experiences with exactly the same feelings, odor, and sensation I believe it is the memory of my birth.
It was very dark, the smell was like nothing I have ever smelled in life and it was a pleasant feeling, very soft and supportive and tight around my body.
I would like to know if others have experienced this exact sensation.
I don’t remember it but my mother sure does. It freaked her out. I was 3 years old and we (mom dad and myself) were riding in the car and suddenly I said, “Why do you guys call me Janice?” mom told me that is what they decided to name me when I was born. I said, “My name is Lilly and
I live in a house with the stairs on the outside. I have a different mommy and daddy.” mom asked which parents I liked better and after some thought, I said, “Well, you guys are alright.”
I have also always had a strange feeling any time the Titanic is mentioned. I went to the museum of the Atlantic in Halifax and really tried to see if anything would touch me or if I would remember anything but the only thing was a little pair of red patten shoes that were found in the wreckage. They would fit about a two or three year old. I’m not sure if that touched me because of the nature of what happend to the Titanic….. would sure love to have a past life reading done to see if these things are real.
I had a strange experience with a past life being revealed. I was reading a book my sister loaned me written by a Rabbi (I am not Jewish…this life;)) about his experiences when teaching about the Jewish faith to those unfamiliar. He found he had a large number of people come up to him after each session saying they felt they were Jewish in a past life and ghey gave some phenomenal reasons why…and things they couldn’t have known, they knew. Well I got halfway through the 2nd page of this book and suddenly broke down crying. I cried and cried for so long and so hard, I couldn’t stop. Must have been well over an hour this went on. I tried to calm myself and it would start up again. I said this is ridiculous! So I called my therapist/shaman/Reiki Master who is also is a psychologist, and set up an appt. She took me through a past life regression and it all poured out…was right there on the surface. It was so moving, she was even crying! She is Jewish and did her thesis on the psychological affects of survivors of the Holocaust. During this, a part of it hit me so strong as it was part of a dream I once had that was terribly disturbing to me so I wrote it down. When I saw this, I yelled out, “Oh my God, Oh my God!”
After a time, more stuff surfaced for me and I found I needed to see her again to work out some things. Well, unexpectedly they related to the rest of what happened to me in that past life and how I died. It was horrible, to say the least. But she walked me through it very safely and carefully and brought me back. In that lifetime, I was a young girl whose father was a gentile and mother was a Jew and they were trying to hide the fact that I was half-Jewish…during Hitler’s reign. Not sure where it was, Germany or Poland…one of those two. I didn’t view it like a movie…I as IN it, I WAS her! I’ve had at least one other dream relating to this lifetime. Before this, I wasn’t sure I believed in past lives but after this, NO ONE could tell me there is no reincarnation! NO ONE! This explained so many issues in my life this lifetime as well.

Hi! I’m Karissa. I’ve become interesed in past lives rather recently. My Memorie is still a little fuzzy but people were scared of my family for some reason (I think it was because of my father but i dont know why?). We were different than them i think that is what scared them but i was to young to know why or how we were different. My name was Timatia Mettierayandia I think. My mother had a necklace that was for me when I grew up and was responsible enough. She died when I was 6 she was killed by the people that were scared of us. My sister and I were killed not long after. Her name was Mensia. If this sounds Familar please e-mail me at Mettierayandia@gmail.com
i knoww about my 3 past life only lasy moments i died i am from india ones i died when iwas in punjab before a few minits for my merrige my sis’s huband gave me poision i died at same time and i dont have any felling for any one but trying to tell every body that it’s not sucide but no one can listen me another time my best friend killed me in a pound as before i came out from my body and i can see it but i dont have any feelig for her also after a few min i went towards sky and it was also when my brother just came after fixing my merrige and at thired time i got merried but i did’nt seen my husbband when i came with him to his house in a forest some people kidnapped me and when my husband helpd me and coming to our house they shoot me on soulder of my husband as before i have seen my body and wnet to sky
in this life beofore 4 years i meet with my husband he has changed but his eyes and voice are same but distences are there and i cant tell him abt all this
this has always scared me but since i was about 8 years old i started seeing images both in my dreams & when i was awake images of a battlefield. over the past few months i’ve seen people standing next to me but i can’t see their faces(their faces were all blured out), & since i started seeing these people in my dreams i hear the name Anoki. i didn’t worry about it i just thought it was b/c i read to meny books but about two weeks back i meet a person & as i shook her hand i passed out & had the dream but this was different in this one that girl was standing over me with a sword & in the dream she thrust the sword through my heart. there was more but it all went blury until i woke up.
Nothing so glamorous as most but I have a reoccurring dream, flashbacks from time to time and odd tendencies in taste which could be classed as vintage I suppose which I have had since early childhood. Things from the 50’s and 60’s seem very firmiluar and I am drawn to them including music and TV shows, I can actually relate.
I’m also inclined to believe this is solely a figment of my imagination but I can’t imagine why, I have gone to the extent of seeking professional help from real medical doctors not psychics or past life regressors, I come up with a clean bill of mental health every time.
The dreams and flash backs are of someone’s death somewhere from what I can tell in South East Asia, my guess is Vietnam or Korea. I see someone that isn’t me in an American military uniform, I get the feeling he is a doctor or maybe a chaplain but not “regular army”. He is a passenger in the front of a military JEEP and there is an explosion, perhaps mortar fire and the JEEP is turned upside down at which point I begin to see through this mans eyes. The man is pined under the JEEP he sees the sky, the clouds and a rather lovely tree, then everything starts to dim and fade to black. That’s it!
I have been experiencing this since I was about 1 or 2 years old, the first time I recall a flash back was when I was standing in a crib trying to escape as children do.
I have never been in the military although everyone else in my family was. When I was 18 these visions were so strong and I needed some answers. Long story short, I became a Buddhist monk for 12 years, I found answers to life, the nature of the universe and I learned to put things into prospective but alas the “visions” persist sometimes very strong.
I’m am very attached to South East Asia so attached in fact I have lived, worked and been educated in Asia most of my adult life. Don’t get me wrong this isn’t an attraction thing as in I am interested in Asian culture and just want to hang out here, my life here is normal, it flows smoothly, I have an excellent job and life is good and what one might consider normal.
I moved to Thailand and have been living here for the past 5 years and have no intention of ever leaving, I am the most comfortable I have ever been in my life and somehow it feels like I belong here, I fit right in and when I see Thai people they look normal, when I see Caucasian tourists I become uneasy (I am a white guy originally from Pennsylvania by the way).
I’m not big on metaphysical stuff, and I don’t believe in “ghosts” or “god’s”, I don’t believe anything unreal exists and as a Ch’an (Zen) Buddhist I am also inclined to think that this is it, you are born, you die and that’s, that. I am comfortable with my beliefs and I am comfortable with the idea of death being permanent (although nothing is permanent).
Anyway, I would really like to know what others think about this.
