In this blog, I want to give a broader overview of the phenomenon of past lives. For me, past lives are an absolute reality. I've had multiple experiences through the years that confirmed the reality of it, but even before that, I was already convinced by the immense amount of evidence there is for it. Sceptical people sometimes ask: how can there be evidence of past lives? Well, there is. People (mostly children, actually) do remember instances of past lives. There are so many accounts collected by open-minded scientists that the debate about the reality of the soul and the existence of past lives should have ended decades ago. One of the most prominent scientists who really helped advance the field was Dr. Ian Stevenson. In his most famous work, "20 cases suggestive of reincarnation," he collects spontaneous recall of information about previous lives by young children. Dr. Stevenson describes the process as follows:

"The case usually starts when a small child of two to four years of age begins talking to their parents or siblings of a life they led in another time and place. The child usually feels a considerable pull back toward the events of the life and he frequently implores his parents to let them return to the community where they claim they formerly lived. If the child makes enough particular statements about the previous life, the parents (usually reluctantly) begin inquiries about their accuracy. Often, indeed usually, such attempts at verification do not occur until several years after the child has begun to speak of the previous life. If some verification results, members of the two families visit each other and ask the child whether they recognize places, objects, and people of their supposed previous existence."

In some instances, there's also confirmation from adults either from spontaneous recall or from recall under hypnosis. I remember a Dutch television series in the early 2000s, where they let people access their past lives with a practitioner, and then went to look for evidence for it, with amazing results. I remember a Dutch woman describing a past life as a woman in the South of France in the city of Pau, centuries earlier. When they visited the city, a lot of what she saw from her past life was confirmed. She could mention names and attributes of the city and local church that were impossible for her to know. 

Other scientists, such as Rupert Sheldrake talk about how each living being and thing in the universe has a "morphogenetic field" around it. This field contains all information about the species, the individual, etc.., It also contains the information about past lives. The field of information is non-physical, and the physical brain is just a receiver of it. 

I have had flashbacks to past lives in meditation and in sessions that I did over the years, some or nice, some are not so nice. But to remember enables us to heal, to release the traumatic charge from our morphogenetic fields. Recently I  was able to personally remember another piece of a past life, during a QHHT session I did in Canada. In one life, I found myself in a dungeon, somewhere in the Middle Ages, chained with my arms to the wall, malnourished and emaciated. I was doing round trips from the torture chamber back to the prison chamber, until my body ran out. They tried to make me renounce what I had said, retract my statements, and make me confess that what the authorities said was true. But I didn't renounce, I didn't repent. The torturers were impersonal and indifferent; they were performing their duties, it was their job. However, I sensed the angry and evil energy of the authorities who were behind the decision to imprison me, they were anything but thrilled that I had challenged their opinion. These are memories that a lot of truth speakers still hold these days. For a lot of us, this is not the first time we speak out. 

But of course, mainstream science will never accept this unless they accepts the existence of the soul and consciousness as an awareness that can exist independently of the brain.

Like the famous scientist Nikola Tesla said: "The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence." The day science does that, it will step out of its limiting box and puzzling or unexplained phenomena will make more sense. Why do some people have an unexplainable fear of water since birth? Maybe they drowned in a past life. Why do they have a fear of heights? Why do they have birthmarks? Etcetera. Once we open the doors of perception, we are seeing the human being not a an isolated physical being, but a multidimensional being not limited by time nor space. We, as our ego-identity-personality in this lifetime, are just one of the many ego-identity-personality roles we played in other lives. What animates us is our true self: our soul.
