About Me
- Boston Carter
- I am a Medical Intuitive and human theorist. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Applied Behavioral Science and am currently working on a Ph.D. in depth psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. I study patterns of thought, personality and behavior in the hope of helping all of us to increase our levels of consciousness and understanding of spiritual energy interactions.
Nope... not that I know of anyway. I seem to get most of my eternal messaging via direct knowing and then through dreams. So the dream part opens possibilities there, but I have never considered any dreams as past life stuff. Maybe I should think about it!
ReplyDeleteYes, I have considerable and varied pastlife memories. How do I "know" they are memories? The same way I "know" my memory of breakfast is a memory. And, to some extent, since memories are subject to error, there can be errors, mistaking imaginings for memories. But generally they do feel different, to me.
ReplyDeleteSome of the memories came spontaneously, and some were "triggered" by people helping me in my spiritual growth.
The more interesting question is "What good are they? Do they benefit at all?" For me, the main benefit is that I can see how present-life issues fit a larger pattern, and that really does make the issue with its illusions easier to let go of. With 5 examples of a pattern instead of one, it's easier to see the illusion involved, and let it go.
Also, while some people seem to seek pride from past-life identities, for me they have generated nothing but a profound humility....
Having past-life memories also helps us break our identity with this embodiment and this mind, which helps us realize Who we Are. It also helps us have compassion for "perpetrators," as we remember we have been on both sides, actually on ALL sides of the victim-perpetrator-rescuer triangle, so it helps us transcend those perspectives into Compassion and a clearer realization of what human life is all about, why things happen.
Namaste, Rev. Alia
I don't have any past-life memories per se, though I do have thoughts about how the first time I heard a harpsichord, I felt as if I'd "come home." Not sure if that qualifies, though.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to share something about my oldest baby (21-years old now!). When he was about three years old, he began telling stories about dreams he was having that were waking him up. The first one that caught my attention was when he related a story about being held captive by some "men in robes." He went on to describe in amazing detail men in flowing robes, particularly one who wore a fez and carried what sounded to me like an M1 rifle or one a little older.
Regardless, this has always stuck with me because he was only a little monkey when he was telling us these things and the detail was incredible. He also has a dream in which he is in a trench and is shot in the chest by another man. He describes how he was hiding and the other guy sort of stumbled upon him. This other guy looked scared and, almost as a reaction, shot him. He says the feeling of the bullet entering his chest is what wakes him up.
Now, the weirdest thing of all is that I was in Sedona, AZ a few years ago and saw an intuitive person there. She began telling me how my son has a very clear sense of right and wrong (true, true) because he was held as a slave in North Africa and treated very, very harshly. So, I'm inclined to believe that there is something to this past life thing, though I'm still a little hazy on the topic.
Rev. Penny has told me that I've had a few past lives, most of which were centered on me being some kind of solitary scout guy whom other people relied upon. If that weren't so metaphorically true in my present incarnation, I would probably not accept it because I have absolutely no recollection of any past life.
Interesting stuff that I'd like to learn more about...
I don't have any past life memories, but I do have past life "familiars," as in when someone says X, I can feel it resonating for myself and it seems "familiar."
