KNOW ABOUT YOUR PAST LIFE?
❤💫❤
DOES KARMA PRESUPPOSE PAST LIVES ? DO I HAVE TO BELIEVE IN REBIRTH TO UNDERSTAND KARMA?
❤❤❤
ANS : NO, IT IS NOT NECESSARY. NEVER MIND IF SOMEBODY ELSE IS TALKING ABOUT PAST LIFETIMES. WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT YOUR KARMA, JUST LOOK AT THOSE AREAS OF BONDAGE THAT ARE A REALITY FOR YOU. START FROM WHERE YOUR EXPERIENCE BEGINS. YOU CAN START ONLY FROM WHERE YOU ARE. EFFORTS TO START WITH SOMETHING THAT IS NOT IN YOUR EXPERIENCE WILL LEAD TO HALLUCINATORY STATES.
FROM THE MOMENT OF YOUR BIRTH TO THE PRESENT MOMENT, EXAMINE THE VERY WAY YOU THINK AND FEEL. AT LEAST SINCE YOUR BIRTH, YOU CAN SEE YOUR PAST ACTIONS HAVE BEEN RULING YOU IN SO MANY WAYS. AND THE VERY WAY YOU THINK, FEEL, UNDERSTAND, AND EXPRESS YOURSELF NOW WILL AFFECT YOUR FUTURE.
LET US NOT TALK ABOUT THOSE THINGS THAT ARE NOT IN YOUR REALM OF EXPERIENCE. OTHERWISE, YOU ENTIRE LIFE COULD PASS IN SELF-DECEPTION. THESE DECEPTIONS COULD MAKE YOU A POPULAR CONVERSATIONALIST AT A DINNER PARTY. THEY MAY CARRY YOU ACROSS ONE EVENING, BUT THEY WON'T CARRY YOU ACROSS LIFE AND DEATH!
IF I TELL YOU ABOUT YOUR PAST LIVES, I AM MERELY GIVING YOU A STORY, A BELIEF, NOT AN EXPERIENCE A BELIEF SYSTEM WILL NOT OFFER YOU GROWTH, IT OFFERS YOU ONLY SOLACE OR ENTERTAINMENT. IF I TELL YOU THAT GOD WILL LOOK AFTER YOU, IT WILL OFFER YOU ONLY SOLACE. SOLACE IS LIKE A TRANQUILIZER, IT MEANS YOU ARE ONLY GETTING DEEPER INTO ENTANGLEMENT. IT WILL NOT LIBERATE YOU.
RIGHR NOW, YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO HANDLE THE MEMORY OF THIS VERY LIFETIME. YOU STILL SUFFER WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU TEN YEARS AGO! WHEN YOU ARE IN THIS CONDITION, IF YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU TEN LIFETIMES AGO, IT WILL DRIVE YOU NUTS! SO THERE IS NO POINT SPECULATING ABOUT EARLIER LIFETIMES. AT THE SAME TIME, DON'T DISMISS THE IDEA EITHER. YOU CAN SIMPLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU DON'T KNOW.
ON THE LEVEL OF INFORMATION, IT WILL NOT HELP YOU TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR PAST LIVES. BUT ON A DEEPER ENERGY LEVEL, UNDERGOING PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE CAN HELP. WHAT LOOKING INTO THE PAST CAN DO IS TO HELP YOU ARRIVE AT A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT MAKES UP THE PERSON YOU CALL "MYSELF".
THERE ARE LAYERS AND LAYERS OF MEMORY IN THE UNCONSCIOUS. KARMA SAMYAMA, AND ADVANCED SPIRITUAL PROGRAM WE DO AT ISHA, IS A MEDITATION THAT BRINGS LAYERS OF THE UNCONSIOUS MIND TO THE SURFACE TO DISSOLVE THEM. ANYTHING THAT IS KARMIC DISSOLVES ONLY WHEN THE DISCERNING MIND IS IN FUNCTION. IF YOU JUST LEAVE IT UNEAMINED, IT HARDENS INTO A TENDENCY. THESE TENDENCIES ARE WORKING UPON YOU ALL THE TIME.
I KNOW TODAY THERE IS A BIG PSYCHOLOGICAL CIRCUS GOING ON IN THE FORM OF PAST-LIFE REGRESSIONS. MUCH OF THIS IS PURE HALLUCINATION. YOU NEED TO UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS MIND IS AN INCREDIBLE INSTRUMENT. IT CAN DECEIVE YOU IN MANY SUBTLE WAYS. SUPPOSE YOU REALIZED YOUR NEIGHBOR'S DOG WAS YOUR HUSBAND IN YOUR PREVIOUS LIFE, HOW WOULD IT HELP YOU? WHETHER YOU NOW GO AND KISS HIM OR THROW STONES AT HIM DOESN'T MATTER. BOTH ARE DANGEROUS! (IF YOU THROW STONES AT HIM, YOU WILL GET INTO TROUBLE WITH THE NEIGHBOR. IF YOU KISS HIM, YOU WILL GET INTO TROUBLE WITH THE NEIGHBOR. IF YOU KISS HIM, YOU WILL GET IN TROUBLE WITH THE DOG!)
BUT ON A DIFFERENT PLANE, IF YOU WILL GET BRING THIS MEMORY INTO YOUR EXPERIENCE, THEN IT BECOMES A WAY OF LIBERATING YOURSELF. IN SAMYAMA, NO SUGGESTIONS ARE GIVEN TO YOU, NO GUIDANCE IS GIVEN TO YOU. BUT THE PROCESS ALLOWS LAYERS AND LAYERS OF THE PAST TO SURFACE AND WORTH THEMSELVES OUT BY MOVING YOU TO A CERTAIN LEVEL OF INTENSE AWARENESS. YOU ARE NOW FREE OF SEVERAL IMPULSES AND TENDENCIES.
