Knowledge of reincarnation can lead to realization of SELF
Hi Ginger-Mandrake,
you raise an interesting point regarding recollection of past-lives within a past-life. Perhaps I can assist your already significant progress in some way by speaking directly.
I remember one such life (apparently). I say apparently because it was within a culture that had a considerable focus on past-lives. I speak of Atlantis. I have not actually (currently) recalled one of those past past-lives but I “know” that I knew about past-lives then (i.e. within the Atlantean life).
This was the second life I recalled in the here-&-now and it inspired/impelled me to deliberately search for additional past-lives. Of further past-lives I have recalled (in “this life”) – two were seemingly much older than the Atlantis life and contained no spark of “extended spirituality” – crude tribal-warrior-lives. Then the Atlantis life (more of this later) followed by 3 military-leader-type lives each of which was pursued on an essentially uninformed “do-gooder” basis – painfully trying to do “noble” things by force of arms with hints of spiritual insight (all spiritual failures really but each, successively, more informed than the last). I herewith put these lives into a sequence but this was not the order of recall.
So, back to the Atlantis life and the core of your question. The focus of the referenced life is as follows: I am a high-ranking priest-scientist in charge of the Great Pyramid, part of the Atlantean Civilization-Empire. The interior of the pyramid is lined with variously organized ranks of glowing crystals (some huge some very small, many-coloured). The pyramid is part of a global power-grid of some significance. But, I have been ordered (by a Cabal in control of the Atlantean spiritual and administrative system – the Dark Ones?) to shift the focus of the power generation and reflection and direct it towards an attempt to penetrate another dimension the center of which is in outer-space somewhere around the vicinity of the moon. Reluctantly I do so for I realize the act to be exceedingly dangerous although it is held (by some) that a new inter-dimensional power source will thereby be tapped. At first things appear to go well but suddenly a blast of unbelievably black and malign power with a huge cross-section starts to stream into the cap of the pyramid. Instantly I recognize that it will be transmitted all around the Earth through the power-grid and thereby “take control”. To prevent this, I order that the circuit be catastrophically broken by smashing the main focal-crystal & I also realize that the resulting feed-back will transmit a savage surge of “normal power” into the global grid - one that will itself destroy our whole civilization but which might also leave small remnants intact. This is a “better” choice than to allow the Dark Force - the Anti-light, to take over everything. The “feed-back”, initiated at the site (now called Egypt), from the pyramid, destroys the civilization of Atlantis almost entirely. It almost wrecks the planet. I am killed inside the pyramid by the power-surge but I have the weight of so many deaths upon my shoulders that I cannot forgive myself. I go through at least 3 incarnations in military lives before I again “pick-up” science in my current body-form.
This Atlantean life-experience recall so upset me that I was driven to conceptually form it into part of a triad of lives (including my current life) and this became the entire focus of my attention. As I did this, with respect to the group, my ego-self started to break-apart and then shattered entirely as I attempted to answer the question “who or what am I that thus span space & time”? How could I have possibly have lived these disparate lives, separated by time and space? The obvious answer surfaced through the shards of my fractured ego-self. The Reality of my Higher Self burst into view from the shadows previously projected by my ego-self. As this insight proceeded, I suddenly became aware of an almost countless array (infinite in number) of so-called lives that I had passed through since my departure from unity.
The life in the Atlantean civilization is thus of some significance (to me) in that the answer illumined my self-awareness, identity and appreciation of the reality of Unity. That point or state of being/consciousness from which all derives and to which all returns. In an instant I became aware that I, myself as consciousness only, had both created all of these lives as well as the infrastructure which “apparently” cradled them in the instances of their formulation/experience. I do not anticipate losing this realized state of being as I am now consciously beyond all. Birth is a dream, only Being Is.
Deb’s research/insight has it about right (Namaste!)
My research suggests the seat of the soul is the heart center. The spirit is above the crown chakra. It is experienced in the 8th and above. The third eye is the mind
and, of course, Mary caught the drift as well, one of the very few followers of the Christ that actually stuck around to directly absorb the lesson of forgiveness expressed by the great Avatar. The third eye is peculiar in that it has, potentially, one foot in each of the worlds of physicality (the mind) and of Spirit. It can form the bridge of insight encompassing both.:cool
