Past lives - join the conversation

Updated: Mar 2, 2020



“The most exhilarating moment of my journey was the day I arrived at Piraeus Port in Athens, Greece. As the ferry, carrying several hundred passengers approached the harbour I could see in the distance the famous Parthenon temple, perched atop the Acropolis hill. Although I had seen occasional pictures and drawings of the temple, I had no geographical factual knowledge about Athens at all. In the hours that followed it felt as if time stood still, I recall turning to the group I was travelling with on the ferry and informing them that I knew how to reach the Parthenon and how the staircase that led up the hill was located on its left side and in which direction it would wind from the road below. To the amazement of my young friends and myself I not only knew the way up the Acropolis but I also intuitively knew my way around the old city district called the Plaka area, which is the ancient village clustered around the northern and eastern slopes of the Acropolis. I felt as though I had come home.”

“As a little girl, I was never interested in fictional story books like other girls my age, depicting pretty cartoon pictures of magical far-away lands where fairies or princesses fall in love with handsome princes or heroes and lived happily ever after. Instead I was drawn to violent images of classic Greek male soldiers doing battle in encyclopaedias and history books. These images became so vivid to me that I often felt as if I was seeing from the inside of a grey metal helmet and could feel the bristles of a bright and dusty plume above it, as it swayed about awkwardly on my head, often obscuring my vision and at the same time wearing it gave me an enormous sense of purpose and courage.


This wasn’t the only sensation. I also had a bizarre inherent knowledge of protective metal greaves attached to my shins. These would knock hard against the bottom of my knees when I would run at high speed. To accompany these foreign and regular physical impressions was an emotional temperament that was not my own, but felt entangled with me somehow. Relentless, angry, violent, determined, committed but also silent and detached. I can taste the flavour of that personality still. He was male, he was an adult, he had dark olive skin, he was huge, a giant of a man. I knew his eyes, they were spaced wide apart and were often dilated and deep emerald green. Odd feelings for a nine year old girl!”

“During the Past Life Regression research I did with my colleague Sonja during the course of 2013, we regressed numerous people with varying amounts of experience, in both Past Life Regression therapy and Interlife therapy. Some of the participants had never regressed before and others were very accustomed to hypnosis and had experienced this process many times before.


Our initial intention was to simply validate that past lives actually occurred historically and in order to do this, we cross referenced the factual information we received from one participant to another, by contacting a person they recalled having had a past life with, during a regression. We then compared the facts of both regressions. For example. My client, Helen who has regressed many times recalled a lifetime with her closest friend Irene, where they were twin sisters who lived in England in the 1800’s. Once Helen had done her regression, we asked permission to contact her friend Irene who had never done a Past Life Regression before and asked Irene if she would be willing to participate in an experiment with us. Helen agreed to have no contact with Irene at all until she had done the regression. The only prompt we gave Irene in her first regression, was to go back to a lifetime in England in the 1800’s where she knew the woman she now knows as Helen. Both participants gave us similar information. They both described their relationship to each other, that they were sisters, that they wore matching clothing, the grand home they lived in and most profoundly, Helen gave us their full names: Mary and Sophia, whereas Irene, being new to the process of regression gave us just the initials of the girls’ names; M and S.”

“Initially both my colleague and I believed that our research had revealed some ground breaking new evidence that past lives could indeed be verified by comparing one individuals’ regressions to another. To ensure there was no possible breech in confidentiality, I participated myself in the experiment and my colleague regressed me too for comparison research. I recalled a lifetime with a fellow coach, Cliff, where we had been personal guards to a royal family. In Cliff’s regression he recalled the same lifetime and very similar information without having had any contact or discussion with me between our two regressions.


Of profound learning to me ultimately however, was that the seasoned participants in our research, who wanted specific resolutions to ailments and had set clear intentions for their regressions, without fail always recalled multiple relevant lifetimes in one session, all immediately highlighting the dynamics, karma or aspects in symbolic representation of their current situation, in order for the person to gain clarity about the questions they were asking for therapeutic reasons.

For me, this begs the question whether these lifetimes actually happened or whether the person, in a state of deep hypnosis, is connecting to the All-Knowing-Infinite Mind, (The Divine) that then transmits an appropriate lifetime to the individual. This may mean that they themselves did not necessarily experience that lifetime, but rather another individual expression of The Divine may have lived that life historically. The reason The Infinite/Divine Mind portrays that specific lifetime to the participant is to show them a mirrored experience to their current affliction or condition.


I am of the opinion that we may not necessarily all have actually lived the lives shown to us by The Divine during Past Life Regressions, but because we are one collective mind and consciousness, we ultimately have access to all the information that exists in universal history. My personal justification for this opinion comes from my years of experience as a professional Medium, where I am able to pass factual evidence from people who have died to their loved ones still living. What I believe occurs is that my body is not necessarily connecting to the astral body of a late human being but rather receiving a transmission from The Infinite Mind in me, connecting back to itself. It is from this space that I am able to access the factual evidence for the grieving family member. I am not the person themselves who has died, but I become an articulation of this part of The Infinite, during a reading, Crossing Over or Mediumship session.


Regardless of my new found opinion that my individual identity or soul may not have personally lived the incarnations I experienced during the Past Life Regressions, it does not detract or diminish in any way the great value and benefit that one attains from simply witnessing and honouring the incarnation of the individual who may have lived that lifetime historically.


Through this process one is able to get a completely objective view of one’s position by witnessing the equitable perspective of The Infinite Mind, via what appears to be a story or a lifetime that possibly occurred in history, matching the dynamics or difficulties reflecting one’s current life or situation.”


The above passages are excerpts from my Masters thesis in Metaphysics and my thirty years of study in Reincarnation and the benefits of Past Life Regression and Interlife therapy.
