Ancient Egypt

Meet yourself

Why stop? I have figured out more. At the place where the lake is is where you meet yourself. If I remember correctly you actually see and 'talk to' yourself and confront yourself. It's like looking into a mirror, but there is no mirror. Didn't loose anyone did I? I bet you already knew this too.

I would like to hear more about your experiences regarding the "mirror" and water. I think there are several aspects to these experiences. One is holographic and the other - are symbols which lead us to higher states of consciousness. I have to run to class right now. I get the feeling you too -are swamped. ;)
I don't remember water being in the GP -or the apex.......just the underground temples and of course the Nile. But water plays a very important role for higher states of consciousness.I hope to hear more from you - and others.
 
Awwwwwh Shucks

I come back and find this fantastic thread with all the little things that spark my memories of Egypt and was all excited thinking I'd get out my notes and copy and paste some of the things from my own memories, dreams and meditations that match what is already written...but then I remembered they're all lost....booooohooooo

My hard drive was wiped and died on Thursday night, then my back up hard drive just packed up when I installed a new hard drive to replace the one that wiped itself and went wrong originally....so seven years of files were lost!!! (I'm going to send the dead hard drive to a data recovery company after Christmas in the hope they will be able to access the information by taking the whole thing apart, otherwise I've lost far too much to think about)

I will say though, that I remember the lake also (this is often where my dreams and meditations start – I meet with a few individuals, roll off into a memory, then back to the pool - as I call it - again). Water is VERY prominent in a lot of my memories…and I also experience the reflective nature that you spoke about Jason - I agree with what Deborah said here about it often being due to many possible elements - including the symbolic connection to consciousness. It's a good way to view your face though, I'll give it that.

I’ll be back with more soon ;)
 
I do not know about the lake and the stars but the ceremony of opening the mouth sounds interesting. There are two ways of appreciating that all time is now and one is said to be in-body and the other, out-of–body ie after death.

Now it is the in-body experience that is interesting because the comprehension that time is non-existent comes with self realization. The True Self of All being beyond time and the ego-consciousness being the aspect of being that alone experiences time. In infinite consciousness it is the act of thought alone that separates consciousness into the soul – the ego-consciousness. The ego is a thought that reflects on itself as the do-er , it sees doing as the manifestation of physicality and by so concentrating manifests the dream of “reality”.

If the ceremony consisted of “breaking open the mouth” to parallel the breaking of the illusion regarding physicality then it means that the practices involved are a sort of degraded understanding as otherwise it would be clearly comprehended that any breaking that might be involved is simply a realignment of the mind. This being so because the mind itself manifests the “reality” that it surrounds itself with in order to implement its karmic obligations.
 
Interesting perspective.

HI Robin,

I know the Nag Hammadi Library was found in Nag Hammadi Egypt and were buried by Pachomian monks about 1600 years ago. But I find the syncretism between Ancient Egyptian belief's and that of the Gnostic (early Judeo-Christian) to be fascinating. The inward body awareness feels right to me - you said -

This being so because the mind itself manifests the “reality” that it surrounds itself with in order to implement its karmic obligations.

But I think its more than "karmic obligations" - instead - I do believe that it is about "remembering." It's a rather complex notion, that I experienced back in Egypt and a few times in this life time. I do believe though -it will require a new thread. I will start the thread this evening -- as I know we are on different time zones and I have to finish Christmas shopping today! ;).

Jason -you asked me once in a PM -about remembering..........I think you will be interested in what I have found. ;)
 
The Staff

I don't know know what happened to this post. I wrote about the staff, but it never posted. So here I go again. What I think I know about a staff. Not sure if staff is the right word. It is about 2-3 feet long and very simple in design. The diameter of the shaft is about 2 inches. One the top and bottome it's about 3. I believe that the top and bottom can extend. I think it's a working tool. I also think it can control time and energy. It amplifies your internal energies. I don't know much about constallations, but doesn't Orion have a staff?

Dear Deborah,
your is the best explanation I have seen about the opening of the mouth ceremony. Certainly I do not disagree that karma and remembering are any different particularly where karma/memory determines the reality that exists.
 
Opening of the mouth

This one is way over my head. The only thing that I have that may be anything is this: The other day a word popped into my head, "Jo-ha". Not sure what it means, if its a name or a thing but I found this on the net.
http://stripe.colorado.edu/~keister/gagaku.html
Form: Jo-ha-kyu (first appears in gagaku, applied to later Japanese music)
Applied at all levels: structure of musical phrase, composition, concert
Jo - introduction (slow or free rhythm)
Ha - breaking apart; exposition (establishment of rhythm)
Kyu - rushing to a finish (acceleration to a climax, return to Jo).

The indroduction and breaking apart is what caught my eye.

I had a dream about that once! I posted it on this site... it was a few months ago! Now all I can remember is swimming through a channel-type thing that lead to some white stairs that lead to a room made of white marble or alabaster or some smooth white stone. I remember thinking during my dream "I wonder if this will have to do with my past life" and then I woke up.

I just had to say that. Sorry.

HI Elle,

The link Kelly posted has a lot of information in it including what I would have posted here for you. Just remember - meditation = sitting or laying quietly and listening to the self.

A few side notes - Focus on your third eye region and your heart chakra -and bring the two together. This is where time and space -- no longer exist. Also be aware of the silent spaces in-between your thoughts.
 
Thank you all so much. I've tried meditating before, but I've always been so bad... I think I'm too scatterbrained to relax! Sometimes, when I was younger and I was trying to have an OBE, My hand would sort of move on its own... It's hard to describe... like it felt tingly like pins and needles. Once it happened in my sleep and I woke up from it. But other than that, I've tried different methods that I've read in books, even one on past lives, but I just can't seem to concentrate. Would you reccomend seeing a regretionist or hypnotist to sort of prove myself I can do it and learn what works?

Thanks,
elle
 
If you know something will work then it will, likewise if you know something won't work then it will fail. You can control things in your everyday life by useing this technique. You must believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that something will happen and it will, if you can go beyond that and know it will work that is even better. You can use this technique with anything and it WILL work. There is only one rule: You must never use this power to do harm to anyone, the law of retrabution will turn negative energy around.

A technique that works really well for me is to picture writing it on a chalk board, then move the chalk board out of sight (this is sending the message out to other people around you who can help with your wish), after I finish doing this I let my thoughts leave the topic and eventually it will come to me.:) Lots of luck and love!!!!:)

Hi Elle

I do totally understand what you're saying, but as I said in my post in the thread I linked to
Meditation also takes a lot of faith in my personal opinion, faith in yourself, faith in what you are seeing, faith in what you are feeling, and so on. I always used to go into meditation with the attitude of I couldn't do it and wouldn't be able to do it, (all negative thought energy) and so that was exactly what I done. I set myself up for my own failure, because I had no faith in my actions to succeed. The power of thought is extremely important!!!! Everyone innately knows how to meditate, but it is something within and it is – as I’ve already said - very individual.
Click to expand...
It seems so easy to say and so much harder to put into actual practice, but honestly...have faith and the more you set yourself time aside to meditate without worrying about what you'll get, whether it's working and so on and so on, you will eventually FEEL the differences within and it will all fall into place.

It is sometimes said that it takes regular "practice" - but it is more a case of regular intent...if I went and meditated right now, I personally believe I wouldn't be as "successful" as say a few months ago when I was setting aside more time for self and meditation/solitude...like anything new, it takes a while to get our footing and re-wire our brain to do exactly what we INTEND to do - but it will happen :)

As to the pins and needles down you arm during meditation - it's in your left arm right??? I would say that is generally the energy (your chi I suppose) in your body changing vibrations...so you're doing SOMETHING right there even if you believe at the time you aren't ;)
 
Thank you guys for all the help. When I have some free time to try your guy's ideas, I definatly will.

The tingling was actually in my right arm, every time. Once when my whole right arm got the feeling, then my left arm was the next part to tingle. It's strange... like my hand just starts lifting off the matress and then my whole arm... really, really slowly. But if I can focus, I encourage it, but it's so slow... another way to describe it is like... I'm out of synch with my body. It seems like it sort of an OBE on a small scale, like out-of-hand-expirience. It feels like my body and my spirit aren't quite lining up, if that makes sense. But the changing in vibrations makes sense too.

Sorry about distracting you guys from the original topic too. But I really appreciate your help!

Egypt

I've got something past life related that happened in the Valley of the Kings near the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut, but I don't know exactly what. It's definitely an approach/withdraw thing, so I suspect there was either a lot of unhappiness and happiness in that lifetime or a very violent death.

I lead sacred travel tours to Egypt. Most of the people that come know or suspect that they have past life connections there, so I know lots of people with Egyptian experiences.

Hi Pestilpen.

that is very interesting.
I speak fluent German, which is no surprise as 13 years over there did have great cultural advantages.

Do you think the past has a bearing on our future ? Try it this way: If someone was to have been in a country and thus spoke the language, incarnations later, they may want to visit or live in the same country. The reason, possibly, in a subconcious way, would be that they felt happy or even safe.

A place or distant land or even a particular job would draw them. I could understand that a subconsious thought has the power to start a chain reaction to find the result.

In my situation, there are no more Knights riding mighty beasts through the forests, however, I did join the Army. There is an inner sense to help others and stand the ground for the weak. Is this a reflection of personal incarnations or simply the strength and support from fantastic parents ??

Mark.
 
About ancient Egypt

Hiya everybody,

I'm new to this forum, but I have been reading your posts for a while now. I have a huge interest in past lives and loads of questions and insights, but I'm currently working on my master's thesis, so I have to limit my time on the Internet. But this is a great forum and I find myself lurking here too often..

I was just reading a thread about experiences from ancient Egypt and I thought I'd ask something about it. I have never been especially interested in ancient Egypt even though I obviously admire the culture and achievements. I never thought I must have a past life there, but I don't consider it an impossibility either. One psychic suggested that I was once there and a some kind of a ruler's servent in a temple. According to a karmic horoscope written on grounds of Edgar Cayce's visions I was an astrologer/a sage (or something like that) or an influential priest in ancient Persia or Egypt.

According to A. T. Mann's reincarnation astrology I lived in 1971 BC and the pendlum I sometimes use suggested it was in Egypt. I realize none of these suggestions are reliable, and I usually trust my intuition more. But one evening I was doing meditation or these practices to remember past lives, I had a vision of me as a small, black boy. I was dressed in orange clothes, my feet were bare and I was very happy. I was outside and it was really hot and dry. I don't know if it was a desert, but at least it was very arid and I didn't see any trees. Further away I saw two older men dressed in white robes. They were black too.

This was all I got, and now I wonder if this was related to these claims about a life in Egypt. It probably was in Africa since we were black, and it probably was more in the North Africa since it was so arid. But does anyone know if it was possible for black people to be priests, astrologers or even servants in the temples of ancient Egypt? If someone has memories of a past life there or knowledge of history, I would be very interested.

I'm sorry this post is this long. I _never_ manage to say or write anything shortly even if I try..

Have a nice week everybody!

HI Karoliina and welcome to the forum.

Egypt is in Northern Africa....and it was not always a dry -desert thousands of years ago. I have seen several images of Black men in the temples of Ancient Egypt in the wall paintings. It's been a while since I looked - but I will see what I can find for you. Or you may want to do a search of wall paintings in Egyptian tombs. Art tells us a LOT about the history of a culture. Thank God the ancients valued it. :)
 
Thank you so much Deborah!

I browsed through the website and will continue later. I also found through it a nice Ancient Egypt Bulletin Board (http://egyptologist.org/cgi-bin/discus/discus.cgi if someone else is interested) and put a question about skin colours in ancient Egypt there. I actually think we were once told on a African Culture lecture that ancient Egyptians were probably darker skinned than we think. I'll let you know if I find something on that.

I do know where Egypt is, but I'm not sure if the vision I got of myself as a little boy could be situated there, because I think I looked quite "Sub-Saharan African" at least in modern terms. But the scenery to me was more North African - again, how it looks today. This is why I would like to know what the people in ancient Egypt looked like. But it could be the glimpse was from some other life, because there are (and must have been) arid areas in Southern Africa as well.

Oh, I almost forgot: I found a picture of a vizier (they were kings' closest members of staff) that looked to me quite Southern African and a piece of information about their typical clothing, which was white robes..

No I have to go, but thanks again Deborah!

Karoliina
 
Yes, there seems to be a debate about the skin colour of the ancient Egyptians, but it's quite certain there were a lot of black people there, I mean more than today. And even today Arabs are majority only in the north and big cities there, if I understood correctly.

So it's possible my vision was situated in Egypt, now I just have to hope to get some more visions or dreams to be able to dig deeper. Plus I think I'll try and look for the possible meaning of orange clothes on children in ancient Egypt. I'll also continue to read your posts here on this forum and will participate when I can.

Karoliina
 
I've been browsing through the Egyptian art sites (thanks again, Deborah) and so far it really seems that the kind of white robed men I saw in my vision were viziers. At least I can't find pictures of any other people wearing those, being black and bald. Of course I was only a child then, but I had this feeling that someday I would be like them. I haven't found anything about children and orange clothing.

I've been thinking about the fact that I have been more drawn to the Sub-Saharan than North Africa. But maybe if the climate and scenary in Egypt then was like Sub-Saharan Africa now (I'm thinking East or Southern Africa)..

One thing that could connect me to Ancient Egypt is the love of cats :D .

Alexandria

Hi there.
I remember day to day things about life there including the library and the work I did. I remember a few people, most of them I liked and a few I didn't. It was a very different world there as you can imagine. I'm not sure what kind of details I should add because there are so many that I can't decide what is important to write about. I didn't live near the library, I had an apartment of sorts that I walked from that had a great view of the water. Many details in this life suprise me that are oddly close to that place, and the landscape in the town I grew up in in this life resembles Alexandria to a degree. That is why for the first year or three I thought I was still in Alexandria. I don't think There will ever be a place like that again. Sorry for the delay in posting - I just found this forum today.
 
mine

Ive had actually many memories of Alexandria because I believe I lived there in my previous life.Since being a child of 8 years old I was always interested in Cleopatra and Egyptain history. I studied and I almost felt I was her....then I let go of the studies and went about my own way....until a day or two ago I became more interested. Now these past few weeks I felt like I have had no sleep and I wake up in the night.....could it be my previous life?

I feel so alone trying to deal with this problem of mine, until I've found people who are like me in this matter...I am a young adult and I have no one to share this with, I usually can talk to my mother about personal matters, but not this, this morning I woke up an hour early before I usually wake up @ 5 and I had a horrible headache and then all through my classes today this problem has been bothering me. I have no one to tell my inner secrets, not even my best friend for 15 years. She and I are so tight, but now I feel so cold and lonely. Ever since I let go of my studies about Cleopatra a couple of years ago, Ive really let go of my inner self until I watched a movie that triggered my inner spirit three days ago. These couple of days when I wake up I have headaches and I am getting sick, and all the way around things I feel different, like a different person....if anybody has any ideas please post something....I really need support....


Thanx for you Warmth and Intrest
 
Location

I don't remember seeing any maps of alexandria from when I was there, but I remember some land marks, like a large square building next to it and the very wide street in front. I also remember walking down a hill to get to it and that it was close to the water. If it was close to the water, it is probably under the sea now. I saw a map a few yars ago with the library and museum on it and it pretty much matched what I remember - so there are your clues. I should just write it all out instead of making posts about each detail because I tend to froget some details uintil something reminds me of them.. kind of how my memory functions about current life things too. (I forget details of past lives the same way I forget to pick up milk at the store).
 
I have a strong connection to Egypt since I first started learning about it in Middle School, and find myself knowing information about ancient life that I never even read. I do have a couple of flashbacks about the Alexandria. First off, I was a boy in my early to mid-teens maybe, and I was always walking near water on my way to the library. I used to spend entire days there, just reading, I think I was becoming a scholar, or I was just an ancient geek. I remember pouring over Latin, Greek, Egyptian, and several other languages; those are the only ones I can recognize though. I was also good friends with a young woman, a few years younger than me, we always practiced languages together. I remember that she left for a while, and things weren't as fun anymore, and when she finally returned, she had changed, and she never came to the library. After that, the only thing I remember is, it only a flash, but still, the library burning. I was awaken from my sleep that night, to screaming and looking out the balcony (I believe I was a noble) I could see it burning, and I was horrified.

Well, that's about it, sadly, I haven't had time to research the events around the library’s destruction, I've been far to busy with Japan and Europe. So if anyone recognizes these events, I'd love to hear about it!
 
I dug up this old thread, because I watched a TV documentary about Ancient Nubia today, and it described their priests to look exactly like the ones I saw in my vision. So it's very possible what I saw was situated in Nubia (now Sudan), not Egypt.

The research about Ancient Nubia is still very much in phase, but it was greater than many think; almost like Egypt. And like Kitty said, the Nubians actually ruled Egypt for something like 100 years.

It was just so weird to see these men on TV that were like straight from my vision!

It was nice to read this thread, as it's started with my first post on this forum :o !

My Egyptian Memory

When I was about 15-17 years old I was meditating when suddenly I felt I was having a waking dream (self-hypnosis?) and saw myself in Egypt, evening time, thousands of years in the past, near a temple or pyramid. I was inside, in a tunnel-like chamber that had smooth, yellowish, squared-off stone walls. Pitch torches were attached to the walls in sconces. I was dressed, I guess, as a servant, and the feeling was one of extreme fright! I remember a fire on the floor/ground as well, seeing pictograms of some sort, being male (?), and just feeling soooo afraid! I spontaneously came out of this vision and still feel tense whenever I think of the experience.
 
Hi Karoliina,

This site about Egypt and Nubia might help. It explains the location etc. It also has other links on the site which talk about daily life and customs.

I saw a special on the history channel the other day about Sudan and the Black Pharaoh's. Look up the Pharaoh Tirhakah around 650BC - in Lower Egypt. Black Kingdom's of the Nile
