Understanding the Astral Plane and Past Lives
Can spirits see their past lives? This fascinating question delves into the realms of spirituality and science, as we explore the concept of the astral plane and past lives from a holistic perspective. The astral plane, or Bhuvarlokam, is a realm where spirits and souls exist, traveling through different planes of consciousness. This article aims to explore the realities of past lives, the role of the astral plane, and the insights gained through soul regression.
The Astral Plane and Its Inhabitants
The astral plane is a multidimensional realm where souls and spirits reside. Interestingly, half of the individuals observed on the lowest seventh subplane can be found among the living, connected back to their physical bodies by a thread of silver that keeps them anchored in the physical realm. These individuals are in a deep sleep or coma and can recall aspects of their current lives but not their past lives. This is because the silver thread acts as a psychic connection, limiting their awareness beyond their current existence.
The other half, composed of deceased individuals, have escaped their physical bodies and now possess astral mental and causal bodies. They can only remember events from their most recent life. The commonality among all incarnations of the soul is the Kaarana Sareera or Causal Body, a soul that undergoes metempsychosis, or the cycle of birth and rebirth, as described by Quabalists in the Cycle of Gilgulim. Only those who have attained Aathmic Consciousness can fully recall all their past lives.
Rare Instances of Recalling Immediate Past Lives
However, there are rare cases where children recall their immediate past lives. These situations typically occur when a previous life was cut short due to an accident or violence, and the soul is reborn with a new physical body but retains its old subtle bodies. This retained knowledge allows for glimpses of the immediate past life, leading to remarkable recollections of that existence. Such instances, often studied through psychical research and soul regression, provide compelling evidence for the existence of past lives.
Highest Evolution and Past Lives
Higher evolved spirits have greater access to deeper past lives. Young spirits can see their past lives as well, though the extent of their memories may vary as they develop. However, once they have evolved to a certain point, they will be able to recall more extensive and complete past life experiences. Importantly, whatever a spirit learns throughout its journey remains with it forever, imprinted in the soul's memory.
Confirming the Existence of Past Lives
Research confirms that all of our memories return to us upon our passage to the afterlife. This realm, often referred to as the astral plane, is a place where souls go to integrate and process their memories, thus solidifying their past life experiences. Moreover, past lives play a crucial role in the reincarnation cycle. Through guided regression or deep hypnosis, individuals can review past lives and identify emotional or situational lessons not fully addressed in previous incarnations.
The process of regression can reveal detailed and consistent information about one's past, which is now supported by thousands of individuals worldwide from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds. These accounts provide strong evidence for the existence of past lives. You may find my book, Exploring the Eternal Soul, a valuable resource to delve deeper into the fascinating topic of reincarnation and soul memories.
By understanding the complexities of the astral plane and past lives, we can better appreciate the intricate journey of the soul. Exploring these concepts through scientific and spiritual lenses offers profound insights into the human experience and the vastness of our potential.
