Most people
are unaware of their past lives. This is usually because the band of the
Superconscious Mind, where the Akashic Records are combined, is buried
in their unconscious mind. In other people, this band is open, but they
have never contemplated this band of their mind. When we contrast the
experience of most people with that of a skilled past-life reader, we
find the following differences:
Akashic
Records Veiled by Unconscious Mind (Nescience) |
Access
to Awakened Band Superconscious Mind (Omniscience) |
Karmic
occlusion |
Akashic
Ether (Mirrored in consciousness) |
Subliminal
thoughts |
Clear
record of thoughts and beliefs of each life |
Vague
images and fantasies |
Clear
record of feelings and motivating needs of each life |
Cravings
and obsessions |
Clear
record of habits and lifestyle of each life |
Etheric
nadi blockages |
Clear
record of health and vitality of each life |
Muscular
tension or psychosomatic symptoms |
Clear
record of the physical body and its actions in each life |
Ignorance
and forgetting of past lives |
Full
vivid remembrance of the details of each life |
In Patanjalis
Yoga Sutras, one of the powers that the yogi gains through practice
of meditation is omniscience. Omniscience is the ability to visualize
the past lives, the present state of spiritual development, and the future
lives outpictured in the Mind of God for any individual upon whom the
yogi meditates. A yogi who has developed this faculty is able to do readings
for others.
The faculty
of omniscience does not appear fully formed but develops in discrete stages
over time. For example, the ability to read past lives, a subset of the
full faculty of omniscience, appears in a usual progression of deepening
remembrances:
- Uncovering
of an issue from a past life
- Visualizing
a life segment of a single life
- Getting
a form embodying the character of a past life personality
- Remembrance
of clear, specific details from a single life.
- Partial
track (3-7 lives) with full remembrance
- Full track
remembrance of all lives in this cycle of time
- Ability
to read the past lives of others
Those of you
who would like to learn more about your past lives may wish to do our
How to Read Your Own Past Lives workshop. In this workshop, you
will learn several techniques used by psychic readers and practitioners
of past-life regression to access the Akashic Record Subplane of the Abstract
Mind Plane.
It is at this
level of the Superconscious Mind where these records of past incarnations
of this cycle of time are stored. This level is normally not accessed
through our ability to remember our lived experiences, which are typically
cut off between one and five years after our birth.
Meditators
who expand their spiritual development to enter yet deeper octaves of
the Great Continuum of Consciousness not only can remember lives from
the current cycle of time, but from even more ancient cycles:
Level
of Spiritual Development |
Number
of Cycles of Time |
Top
of 1st Cosmic Initiation |
12 |
Entry
to 4th Cosmic Initiation |
96 |
Top
of Cosmic Sphere |

Trimurthi
Loka, near top of the Supracosmic Sphere |
Up
to an entire Brahmic Age, that encompasses 1008 Cycles of Time |
Top
of Banwhar Gupha, the 4th Grand Division of Creation
in the Second Transcendental Path |
Multiple
Great Ages, each comprising 1008 Brahmic Agesback to the very
beginning of time when the spirit was sent forth from the Divine |
However, you
need not seek out these spiritual powers like omniscience. These will
unfold naturally in the course of your spiritual evolution. If it is meant
for you to become a past-life reader, then the wherewithal to do so will
come to you without fail.
