I find all this very frustrating! I've made a very personal post in the hopes that I could get some help in addressing this seemingly karmic past life/present. To overcome this negativity that inflicts me whenever I attempt to delve into this past, whenever I try to do a past life regression, and etc.
Instead a majority of the responses is clogged with Christian/Gnostic comparisons, completely ignoring the point of the post. These conspiracies do not help whatsoever.
What's else you completely ignore me! I've said that I'm completely obsessed with ancient Egypt, in particular the Amarna period, but somehow from that you gather that I don't know anything about the Amarna period! I've read numerous books and articles in regards to the Amarna period, I shift through the bullshit, that name you mentioned Sigmund Frued is not taken very seriously in the Egyptological community!
Instead I am currently reading, 'The city of Akhenaten and Nefertiti, Amarna and it's people' written by Barry Kemp! A man whose spent his entire livelihood literally living at Akhetaten studying the city and its inhabitants! And I am telling you that Akhenaten did not banish the worship of all Gods! It was only the main Gods he penaltied the worship of, in particular Amun because the Amun priests were gaining so much power and popularity that they were beginning to threaten the position of that of the Pharaoh! In fact his father was the initiater that planted the seed of this worship of the Aten in the first place, keeping in mind Aten was worshipped in Egypt for hundreds of years prior. The worship of other Gods was allowed! In particular Gods associated with the sun, Bes the god of childbirth and sexuality and other similiar Gods.
Akhenaten attempted to shift the main God from Amun to Aten and Akhetaten was just the city cult for the Aten!
Stop dismissing what I say and facts, thank you!
Ophelia3 I will try to help you figure this out. Do you want to take this to pm?
Forgive me Ophelia.
I got ahead of myself.
Thank you very much for your insight.
Ever considered a fast?
This opens the crown chakra, and cleanses the etheric, emotional and physical body.
The memories will start to flood in as soon as the body is cleansed, and you master the mind.
And Again,
Forgive me.
Thank you.![]()
One thing I have learnt the hard way is.....you can listen and learn all you like but in the end you must do it for yourself....nothing will be given to you....you must earn it..The only way forward for you is to have the abiliy to meditate...when I say that I mean mediate for real not just think you are...when you do it in the proper manner I have always said you know it' different you go to a different place ....this is just one thing you must earn it can take a very long time...Once you develop this ability you will have the ability to be in contact with your spiritual self and clarity will begin for you...always remember all of it is hard work...very hard if you want to it in the proper manner always keep in the back of your mind as you struggle and struggle....nothing will be given to me I must earn it
All is forgiven, do not worry.
Fast, as in not eat for a while? How long do you suggest and how does this open one up spiritually?

Amarna period? This ones "ancient Eygpt And sun....please help..." and theres one called "Amarna period" oh well not to woory![]()
The body.....a system of complex yet simple functions and an intelligence of it's own.
Our whole lifes we are accustomed to our survival, always thinking we need food and water else we die.
You've heard of yogis, monks, masters and buddhas around the world, mainly in tibet, Yes?
How many no longer needed food or water because they have mastered the body and mind with practices that cleanse, and raise vibration, but learn to ground so that the soul doesn't leave. Haha. Similar to Yeshua in the bible, the man was vibrating at such a high rate, that he was able to pierce minds and sub conscious memories, even their past lives.
Fasting does this....
It purges all emotional, mental, etheric centers(chakras), and physical body.
When you stop eating, the energy used for digestion is now being used to repair the vessel and get any toxins out.
Like a hose, when you turn the water on but there are knots and blocks, fasting is used to free these knots and blocks. And of course, there are practices like meditation, asanas, bandhas(locks)
And many more.
Try going slow for now, say like a 12 hour fast for one day, slowly going up to 16 for another, then 20 and finally to 24. Train your body.
Mind will get more crystal clear and Obedient.
Uncontrolled Anger will Disappear,
And Gratuitous Love will Appear.
Give meditation and fasting a try.
You got this!
I'm sure the memories will start to flood in no time.
Hi Briski,
I think this thread is very different, as Ophelia is really talking about a specific religious or quasi-religious issue in her life rather than just her experiences in a particular period of history. She basically seems to have an innate "tendency" or perhaps is "drawn" towards something akin to sun worship. I don't understand it too well myself, as I was never a sun worshiper in the old fashioned sense (at least not that I know of), nor do I have much interest in the modern revivals of Khemetism/Neterism. That is one reason why I sought John Tat, as one who I believe understands this "pull" and has his own distinctive understanding of ancient Egypt. However, Ophelia also is experiencing a deep inner conflict about this pull and seems to be pulled in different and conflicting directions in re her current life. I do understand this. In fact, I have had to struggle with the pull of the current lifetime and its needs and requirements versus the conflicting pull of forces and memories from the past, so much so that I have more-or-less sworn off trying to find out much more about the particulars of PLs. (This is not much of a promise as I have also found myself "blocked" in many of my attempts--something she also seems to experience in some degree). Anyhow, I wish her the best and hope she finds her way thought this. My only insight is that THIS is the life we are living now. I believe it has to take precedence, but there can be room for a bit from back then as well. (As long as it doesn't become a destructive rather than a constructive force in your current life). What that will mean in her life is up to her to find out. I'm still trying to figure it out myself.
Cordially,
S&S
PS--At one time in my life I was a bit of a "sun worshiper" in the modern sense, as I loved sun and being in the ocean, especially with a surf board. However, that is "ancient history" for this oldster.
PPS--I think that if Ophelia is experiencing some blocking it is because something in her unconscious--like mine--perceives some problems/dangers inherent in becoming too deeply drawn into and under the "spell" of some of the things that are pulling at her. Why that would be, and whether such problems/dangers are really there is once again up to her to discern.
PPPS--Disclaimer: I am a very definite monotheist and follower of Christ. So, I should let that be known. I realize that in some religions the sun was held to be the supreme symbol of "the one" and ancient Egyptian religion seems to be a bit "slippery" in terms of whether the many are just aspects of the one or not. However, I must admit that I have to overcome a degree of innate antipathy when it comes to polytheistic religions. Once again, just letting that be know in terms of "full disclosure" lest anyone think I come to the topic without (like everyone else) my own unique biases.
Hi S&S Once again you are talking about your blocks and conflicts in much the same manner you have over a long period of time...As you know these happenings are not just what is happening to you its also happening to many others.. As I have said before the only way you can get to a place to resolve some of these problems is to mediate and contact your spiritual self... you have said in the past you cannot do that.. that it is beyond what you can do..Meditating in the proper manner is difficult... its difficult for me to understand how people have such difficulty in doing it in the proper manner.. my experience has told me as long as you really want it... that you are prepared to put in the dedication of years of work if that is what is required ... then you can do it.. You talk about just as others do about the pulls/pushes from the past causing different conflicts...As I sort through these types of things with BB my spiritual self I discover almost all of them have little to do with the past... they are all conflicts within the physical John Tat.. this physical life.. If these conflicts are inner deep conflicts then you may need medical help in dealing with them.. Imagination is a very powerful influence in our lives and can guide us very much onto the wrong track and wrong beliefs .I have to deal with my imagination with all of the strength I can gather
Wishing you all the best
Hi Ophelia,
I'm glad I could help, but wish I could do more. The problem is that I am still struggling with the same issues myself. Different "pulls/pushes" from the past causing different conflicts with the present, but the same kind of blocks, etc. Let me know how your efforts come out--I remain curious about whether there is a way out of my current impasse and/or whether I should even be trying.
Cordially,
S&S
I don't know about the gods matter, but I Liked because I doubt he had anything to do with Moses.Akhenaten's worship of the Aten is wrongly associated with monotheism. In fact he allowed the worship of others Gods, especially those connected with the sun, like Ra. Amun priesthood was Akhenaten's victims.
Akhenaten has no association with Moses either.
Although I doubt that the RC were the only ones.Funnu you shoukd mention that. The Catholics destroyed almost all of the Gnostic writings, however quite recently a Gnostic script has been found in Eygpt.
We can agree to differ then.Myths and fables I think not. http://www.reincarnationforum.com/threads/biblical-past-lives.590/

That particular thought is not modern at all, probably. It kinda rings a bell... from a time long past...How can you not read that thread and think that way? I despise modern thinking sigh.

What I despise of modern thinking is how people argue. How they "debate". No respect for the other side, and instead of trying to explain their personal views with logical points, who shouts loudest claims to be right.
That's how I feel all to often. Trapped in a body and surrounding that feels horribly out of place and time. Yet I still struggle to be more positive, because negativity won't help anybody, including myself.As for me I am just an old soul trapped in the modern world wondering how it is all going to end and where.
