Lessons Learned, and Feeling Trapped By Past Lives

It's been a while! I wanted to share my experience, and also ask if this resonates with anyone else on here.

I had a childhood in England, in possibly the late 1890s-1900s. This childhood was nice, as my family was somewhere in the mid-upperclass, and my parents were decent to me, but my teenage years were troubled. When I was around 16-19, I got hit with a vehicle of some sort, and I'm fairly certain that's how I died. So my otherwise good life was cut short. Ever since I was a kid in this current life, I've been fixated on the childhood I had then. I'm constantly striving to make my home feel like the Victorian I had lived in, I still collect dolls, and I love old children's stories.

The other life I have memories from, which is only really in snippets and "vibes", was turbulent, and I'm fairly certain ended early as well. This would have been the reincarnation immediately after the last, and I was a "live fast, die young" kind of girl. I'm pretty sure I overdosed on something in the very early 1930s. I'm very wary of, but also bored by recreational drugs in this life. I think I acted out in that one because of how stuffy my previous experience was.

As for the one that came after that, I was male, possibly a writer, and finally did all the things I was expected to do, but I don't have as many memories there. I have the sense that I kind of just floated through that life, not really taking much in, as I'm doing again in this one.

Anyway, as I'm at an age where I should be figuring out where my life is really going, it feels like my recent pasts are coming back to haunt me. I didn't experience adulthood in those first two, society has changed so much since I would have been a young adult in the third, and I have no clue what I want for myself now. It's like my subconscious has been thinking lately, "What's going on?" "Everything is different, I can't just find a job, get married, and be set!" "Would I even want that?" I've been doing things that feel familiar, like listening to my records, reading, sewing, to try to quell this anxiety, but I worry that doing that is getting me even more "stuck". Part of the problem is that I haven't had much of an identity, in this life or otherwise. I guess this is the kind of thing past life regression therapy is exactly for lol.
 
Hello, larkland,
I think I might have some idea of that “stuck” feeling you describe. It sounds like you may be dealing with some unresolved feelings left over from something that happened in one of your past lives. It may take touching on that event or season in your life then in particular to get a release from that confused feeling. I had been dealing with similar confusion along with negative emotions carried over from my PL a lot recently, but I finally got relief from and clarity about it when I made some discoveries relating to the last years of my PL and what I was going through then, which allowed me to revisit the memory of the feelings I had during that time. That gave me a lot of peace about things because I could finally put those emotions back where they came from and realize that what happened to me then is not actually happening to me now, but I can still reflect on and learn from what happened then, but with much more clarity and peace of mind.
But I understand that it can be hard if you don’t have records of what actually happened in your case. And regardless having such a revelation that allows you to actually get back in touch with the feelings you had about things in the past doesn’t necessarily just come when we’re looking for it. I sure wasn’t expecting it when it happened to me and it took someone pointing out an aspect of my past self’s experience that I hadn’t thought of yet myself.

Of course I can’t say for sure that’s what’s going on in your case. I’m just speaking from my own experience.

Prayers that you find the answers you need!
Regards, Erica

It can be easy to get stuck in the past. This is why these days I look more to my future in this life and next life. Besides I had a very traumatic past in this life being labled as mental at a young age and being bossed around and teased by older sisters growing up. It seems to help me to think ahead than think of the past. But like I said it's easy to get stuck in the past. It still hurts me a lot that I was labled as mental as a kid and have yet to get past the trauma of the mean things my older sisters would do to me. Still thinking about the future gives my mind something else to do than worry. I guess my advice is to think about what you want to do and where you want to be in the future of your current life instead of getting so stuck in past lives. For me now that I have a boyfriend that I've had for a few years I think about soon getting married and having kids. Thinking about things like wedding plans and being a mother someday soon really helps give my mind something to focus on instead of the past.

Hi Erica, the same for me. I was told by friends or family members to let go the past (some of them know about my PL and others just see me doing crazy, past life related things) but the past just wants to stay with me . "Don't think about it, that's all !" they said but they are not experiencing what I am currently living. Feelings arise spontaneously, mostly at night or when triggered. I know I have something to do to heal a past life trauma in my previous life. My other PL don't bother me but the most recent is still with me. I am working on it and fortunately I have help. I cross my fingers waiting for good news from abroad....

oh i totally relate on being really skittish about drugs yet also bored of them in this life. none of my peers understand why despite being the biggest party girl of anyone i know, i'm so OBSESSED with avoiding any and all possible addictions, to the point i banned myself from video games as a child and have stuck by that. and while i was previously confused myself as to why i am like this, i now believe that it's because in my past life i lost my brother, my professional reputation, and my life because of addiction. the one drug i agreed to try in this life was weed, but it BORED me. interesting to find someone who gets this experience.
