Had you asked me twenty years ago about reincarnation, I would have laughed. Such a thing did not exist for me back then, and only in recent years have I finally come to terms with its existence. Sure, I had heard of it, and people like Shirley MacLaine and US Army General Patton who claimed he had been a Roman Legionnaire made a case for it, but I never truly believed.

Even my wife believed in reincarnation, and on her deathbed, I still did not believe because I had no memories of past lives. How is it some people remember but most do not? Is there some secret ceremony or practice which enables these memories? Can anyone recover these memories, and how might they do that?

There are so many questions around this topic, and its reality is of major significance in one’s spiritual beliefs, journey, and reality. If reincarnation is true, then we persist forever and do not just fade to away like so many fear. If it is true, then what laws govern it, and does there have to be a higher power involved? Again, very profound implications from this one spiritual topic.

Ask any Buddhist and they will tell you it is true. They believe we move from one incarnation to another, developing our spiritual self in each, moving closer to nirvana and self-realization in the process. We are processing karma, learning to temper our appetites, our behavior, and most importantly, our thinking. This is the Buddhist way, and millions if not billions around the world follow this line of spiritual philosophy. But are they right?

This blog contains nothing to convince you reincarnation is real because that is yours to discover through your spiritual pursuits. However, for those who believe, we must talk about the pros and cons of remembering past lives and how they can help us along our spiritual path. If we do remember, why? If we know reincarnation is true, then how do we use that information? Is it important or can I achieve what I need in this lifetime without knowing past lifetimes? Let’s talk about it.

How does life start?

The heading above may be a bit misleading because we all know how a baby starts. Most if not all of us have experienced that aspect of life, some more fully than others. What I really mean is how does a particular Soul connect to a newborn life, thus incarnating into our three-dimensional world? According to Paramahansa Yogananda and many other yogis, it happens the moment a baby takes their first breath. And thus, breathing is the essence of life.

Remember that in your meditation practice. All yogis, me included, understand the significance of breathing and life. It is the first breath that begins our lives, and the last breath that ends our lives. I remember watching my wife take her last breath, and I could nearly see her Soul being freed from its mortal coils within that final exhalation.

In fact, breathing is so instrumental in meditation, one could argue that is all we are doing. From the outside, that is all anyone sees, but inside, well that is where the magic takes place, and every breath brings in not only nutrients of life but feeds our energetic system. We breathe, thus we live, and the energy of life flows through us providing nourishment and spiritual information.

Harness that breathing, and you control your energy systems, opening your channels, moving the prana throughout your body to where it is needed. This transforms your body through vibrational frequencies, raising your overall vibrational state in the process. This elevates us to higher planes of reality.

This is all part of the spiritual process that takes us into higher states of consciousness and opens our minds to the infinitude of the Universe. After all, we are nothing more than energy, and according to Einstein, energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only be transformed.

Where are the memories?

Before we discuss memories, you must understand the basic idea of our true self. We are composed of two aspects of what we might identify as ‘us’. The first aspect is called our ego, and it is the ‘us’ created through our lives within this three-dimensional world. The second aspect is often called our higher selves, but most refer to it as our Soul. Since both coexist within our body during any incarnation, it is easy to assume they are one and the same, but that is the illusion we all must suffer.

The ego is about survival in a harsh environment we call earth. It keeps us from making rash decisions which contradict the health and well-being of our lives in this reality. It uses our emotions to control us, and it controls all the memories we have in our current incarnation. This is why so many do not believe in reincarnation because the only memories they access is through their ego.

Our higher self, or spiritual self, carries the memories of all our past lives outside the body in the etheric realms of higher dimensions. Our Soul is not found within the body but is connected to the body from a higher plane of reality where it resides. Our Soul is a tiny part of God’s consciousness, sent into the three-dimensional realm to learn and grow. Its experiences are what God experiences, and through that process, God learns and grows. If you haven’t figured it out yet, life is all about evolution. Everything is changing over time.

In spiritual circles, many talk about the Akashic records, a complete record of everything within the Universe that has ever happened and will ever happen. I agree it is a concept that is hard to wrap your mind around. Another way of thinking about it is the memories of God. Gain access to this repository, and you can learn everything there is to know about the Universe and God. Since you are part of God, your memories are within the Akashic Record.

But how does one tap into these Akashic Records and find what they need? Simple, you go through your higher self, which is part of God, and that higher self is connected to the memories within God that correspond to all the lives you have lived or will live. Sounds easy doesn’t it. Well, it isn’t quite that simple, but the description is pretty spot on.

So how do we connect with our higher self to access these memories? That is where spirituality, shamanism, and religion converge. It is the desire to connect to the Divine that connects us to our higher self, which is part of the Divine. Prayer, meditation, asceticism, and all forms of spiritual practice are an attempt to connect us to the Divine by separating us from our ego. Unfortunately, many don’t realize or teach the Divine is within and not without, so most never connect.

My Kriya Serpent Yoga and all other forms of higher vibrational energy practices can raise our vibrational states to allow us to disconnect from our ego and connect to our higher selves. It is through these practices that we recover memories of our past lives by accessing the Akashic Records of the Universe. For many of us, they often come as powerful downloads which take time to unpack.

So, who am I?

Of course, you are your ego in this lifetime, and you had many other egos in all your previous lifetimes. This is the result of the incarnation’s life circumstances which shape your mind into the person you believe you are in that incarnation. But you are so much more, and once you access that higher self, you can access the Akashic Records to recover past live memories. Then, your definition of ‘you’ expands profoundly.

I have many past life memories which include being a demigod, a shaman, a peasant, a knight, and a great thinker. Are some of them famous? Sure, some are famous figures from history, but most were not. Most were ordinary people living life, evolving their Soul through experiences. But some had purpose, and they carried that purpose forward into future lives. My spiritual purpose spans many lifetimes, including this one, but how would you know if that were true for you?

You cannot know until you recover past life memories. Only then can you peer through them to locate that common thread binding all those lives to your spiritual purpose. We are all being groomed through the span of our existence to serve the greater good, though many choose not to serve.

Buddha talked about his previous lifetimes and how they all culminated in his ascension into the etheric realms of existence. His common thread was a teacher of Universal truths about who we are. I am also a teacher across time, carrying the message of truth and practices that elevate people to higher planes of reality to find their higher self. There are millions of us reincarnating now to bring this message forward, to enlighten humanity on the eve of its ascension.

No one can necessarily say who you are or who you were, but you can find out. Now, suppose you were someone horrible, would you want to know? Suppose you were someone special, would you want to know? This is the deep question around past lives, do we really want or need to know who we were?

Every incarnation has a purpose, a reason to help hone our Soul in its quest to achieve perfection. We start like babes in earlier lives, perhaps incarnating into less complex lifeforms, struggling to survive in a harsh reality. Perhaps we travel through many of these simple lives, each an incremental step forward towards higher forms of life and consciousness, our Soul evolving and growing through each iteration.

There are many who claim to remember past lives as Cleopatra, or other famous figures, but with so many saying they are, who do you believe? This is where we must be careful, for we are not those previous lives, but only the life in the here and now. Our past lives are echoes of our past, and not who we are today. We are an amalgam of all those previous incarnations, each contributing a small piece into the construct of our Soul.

Do past lives matter?

One could easily argue past lives matter, and there are people alive today who are very informed about their past lives. There is even a technique within Sacred Geometry to ensure you remember past lives in your next incarnation (another blog entirely). However, the reverse is true, and we could easily build an argument for why we do not need to know our past lives. Let’s look at the pros and cons of knowing our past lives.

Cons: For starters, we are born without these memories which implies they are not necessary for our lives. If they were, we would surely have them intact as if it all happened yesterday. Clearly, it has been ordained these memories are not important for us to experience, live, and evolve in each lifetime. I am not sure why this is so, but I imagine the reasoning might be something along these lines.

If we start with our memories intact, then what is there to learn as we grow through childhood? Likewise, what would an ordinary life be like when we remember past lives under more auspicious conditions? Do you want to be poor when you vividly remember being wealthy? You can easily see the conundrum, we cannot fully learn, grow, and enjoy life if this life must compete with vivid memories of prior lives. Ouch!

Like I said, we do not carry our memories wholly intact when we are starting a new incarnation because it would make that incarnation potentially unbearable which may lead us to end that incarnation rather early, never learning the lessons we intended to learn.

Pros: If I am embarking on rather intense spiritual journeys during this lifetime, it may benefit me to understand what I have done before, tailoring my spiritual pursuits against my past, pushing me higher and further along my path. How great would it be to quickly achieve nirvana?

If I face harsh challenges in this life, I can recall past life experiences and use that wisdom to navigate the treacherous path before me. Why repeat past mistakes when I have a complete library to peruse containing a multitude of memories of similar experiences. I could easily avoid past mistakes, making my life easier and smoother.

But would we learn if we do not repeat past mistakes? Are the decisions we make today determined by our past lives manifesting within our consciousness when needed? Does our Soul inform our decision making in each lifetime. The answer is yes, and every time you escape a poor decision, it likely due to your Soul giving you a nudge through what we call intuition.

But if they are readily available for recall at any moment, does that affect our learning? Yes, we cannot have a path dictated for us without surprises and poor decisions. No evolution happens when everything is pre-ordained or avoided through past life memories.

Most want to remember past lives, but we do not necessarily understand why this should be important. In Kriya Serpent Yoga, the practice stimulates your Siddhis, or what we call psychic abilities. This often triggers revelations of past life memories. Though not all my past life memories have informed my present incarnation, most have. This is the higher self providing select memories to nudge us in specific directions to fulfill our purpose in this lifetime.

And ultimately, this is the benefit of past life memories, to direct our current incarnation to complete our evolution and purpose for this lifetime. General Patton remembered past life memories informing his purpose in World War II, making him one of the most effective Generals in that war. It gave him confidence, strategic ideas, and the longer vision to understand humanity and conflict.

So, purpose is why we have past life memories?

Yes, purpose is a significant reason for past life memories, but it isn’t the only reason. I remember rebuilding civilization after the Great Flood and making the decision to return again to repeat that same task should the need arise. Guess what, it is arising, so yes, my past life memory informs my purpose in this incarnation.

I also have past life memories of my partner, as does she, and that was critical to bringing us together in this lifetime to complete the work we agreed to complete in this incarnation. These are not simply neat memories of past lives but important memories that thread a needle across many lifetimes, helping this world evolve as my Soul evolves.

If you remember past lives, it most likely informs your present, and you should spend time thinking about how it does. That is the spiritual work to complete, and as a Kriya Serpent Yogi, that is the critical work we must all do to fulfill our purpose in this lifetime. Reincarnation is the never-ending evolution of the Soul, and the memories we pass down to each incarnation is fundamental to the purpose our Soul is attempting to achieve.

A very large purpose requires a large amount of time; more time than a single lifetime affords us. So, we carry this charge forward into the next life, the higher self nudging us throughout, attempting to engage our spiritual journey in this lifetime. Only then do we grow spiritually, accessing the details of that long vision across the span of time.

Referring back to General Patton, his larger purpose was to ensure the evolution of humanity continued without backsliding into the grim dark ages of the past. He was a defender of the new humanity at a time when that was threatened by regimes which would have created a world ruled by an evil iron fist. That would have limited liberty and creativity which is responsible for the continuing evolution of our species.

Just look how the world was changed by World War II, and you can truly appreciate the nobility of his service across the span of time, even if you do not agree with the nature of his service. As the saying goes, if I need to hammer a nail, I do not grab a saw. He was a tool for humanity during a time that tool was desperately needed as am I and most of us working towards the creation of our new world in the new Age of Aquarius.

I have past memories of being a Shaman, teaching people about the nature of our Universe and our Creator, and here I am again, teaching people about the nature of our Universe and our Creator. That is a common thread pulled across eons of time, resurfacing at times when people need it most. It is purpose that drives our evolution and thus our memories we carry forward between lifetimes.

Watch a very entertaining movie called Infinite with Mark Wahlberg. My partner and I felt a very strong connection to that movie because of our past life memories and purpose. In this movie, an elite team of people reincarnate with all their past life memories intact to help humanity evolve and move forward. But that team has split into two factions: Infinites and Nihilists.

The Infinites believe in their mission and work hard to accomplish it while the Nihilists have grown tired of the never-ending string of lives. They have grown bored of the ‘curse’ and wish to end it all by destroying humanity, thus ending their mission and freeing themselves.

It is a typical Hollywood trope but holds an important message about what life might become if we have all our memories through every lifetime. It would be difficult for any of us to predict which faction we would end up in. While Hollywood made it a fun, action-packed drama, it stands as a testament to those of us serving across many lifetimes. This could be you, and your spiritual journey will surface that purpose for you, especially if you practice Kriya Serpent Yoga.

Then, do I have a purpose across time?

You have a plan in each incarnation, and your pursuit of your own evolution coincides with that plan and your ultimate purpose across the span of time. How much you remember will be determined by the evolutionary progress of your Soul. But if you never move onto your spiritual path, you may never remember and fulfill your plan in this lifetime, but maybe that is your plan?

In my world, Kriya Serpent Yoga is the first phase of my purpose in this lifetime. I am to awaken the new humans to help prepare them to transform this world into the one we all want and need, evolving beyond the darkness that still grips our world with hatred and violence. A major transformation of this world will be the result of technology, and perhaps your purpose is in that area of expertise.

Most of the new children being born today are old Souls coming back to change this world. They must connect with their higher self to activate their past life memories to carry on their purpose. You do not need to believe in this, you need only start down your spiritual path, and it will be revealed to you. This is not speculation but a guarantee. You are here for a reason. Do you want to know what that reason is?

Are you ready to pick up where you left off in a previous life? Do you want to help humanity evolve into a world you helped design? If so, then Kriya Serpent Yoga could be for you! It is an expedient means to accelerate your awakening, connecting you to your higher self to discover your purpose and begin the work to complete it within this lifetime. If you feel like something is missing in your life, there is something missing. It is your purpose for being here!

In next month’s blog, I detail Kriya Serpent Yoga in preparation for the release of my book, The Kriya Serpent Yogi, in November. You can pre-order the book today on Amazon and other book retailers. If you have past life memories already, spend time understanding what they are telling you in this lifetime. If you currently don’t know your purpose, then these nuggets of memories may provide a clue to move you forward. Either way, start your spiritual journey today.

Peace Profound
