I'll take a stab at it Ailish, just don't laugh too much lol.....
"Is it wrong to remember?"
Good question Fiziwig. My simple short answer would be this: That is up to the individual person to determine in there current life........
For me however I see it like this. It is not wrong for me to remember my past lives, but it might not be necessary either. Take my signature for example: LEARN from the past; LIVE in the present; PLAN for the future. Many people who delve into the past (past lives or not) sometimes become obsessed with discovering all they can about it but at the expense of the present or the "now" so to speak.......
I tend to try and act in a balance way in my life and this includes finding about my past lives. I use it as a learning experience for wisdom but I never obsess about it as I don't want to screw up my "now". Things will come to me when I am ready to assimilate them properly, not before, and I certainly don't feel a rush to find about them or else......
All things come to those that wait after all......
There is also another reason I don't rush and try and find out as much about my past lives asap, and that is because of the so called "end times". This is a bit hard to write about as I tend to keep this close to the vest so please forgive if this don't make much sense.......
In my views, we are nearing the "end times" which have been spoken about in many cultures and beliefs (the bible, certain Indian cultures, ect). During the "end times" (boy do I hate that term; as if there was a end to things which there is not; just a change is all) many charlatans and scam artist with come out of the woodwork and try and deter many "from the path" for lack of a better term......
In my view, one must be very careful not to loose one's way as it is easy to do during these days. It is better (in my mind at least) to while still striving for wisdom, one must be grounded in the here and now more than ever and be wary of many distractions. So many years ago, I decided to tone down my own personal journey into metaphysics and reincarnation (including some of my own personal talents) and instead strive to focus on the "now" more, help people when I can, lead by a good example, and not to obsess as much......
Could I remember more about my past lives than I do? Yes. Could I have developed my talents and abilities more than I have (and some think I should by the way)? Absolutely. Why? Because simply put, YOU are more important right now than the ME which is my life and journey. After all, helping others is far more important than helping just one's self. In the process I don't stray from the path which is my life.......
In other words, I strive to walk the path, not strive to see the path or gain as much info from it as I can. I would rather be part of the light than try and find as much about the light as possible. I will remember when it is time, not before, and if I don't? Well that's ok too because in the end, all is eternal in the light and love which is all, and in the end, I have all the time in the world because time is a concept which I am not chained to.........
I hope this makes sense folks. It is extremely hard for me to put these views and feelings into words. I see and feel the ripples of existence so clearly and am content for now to know that I am part of it is all and how I may help others do the same if they wish. Great post again Fiziwig, thanks for posting it

Peace............
