Do you have past lives

Answer 1

Yes. We continue our learning each lifetime. There are 144,000 different aspects or ways of thinking that we all must come to an understanding of before we can graduate from this physical existence. Before you entered this body that you are now using as a vehicle for experiencing, which provides a way for you to learn. you, while still existing in subconscious mind, made the decision about what needed to be address next. Between lifetimes, while in subconscious mind or soul, we have access to all the previous information.

Each lifetime, we start over with a new conscious mind so these decisions we made before coming here are not readily available unless we choose parents who are already aware, which is a rarity but the numbers are slowly increasing. Young children remember but usually when they relate what they are seeing they are scolded by uninformed people around them and so they quit remembering. During my teaching days about mind one such informed lady told me that she had allowed her child to remember and talk about the experiences without restriction, only questions asked in a way not to interfere, which continued until the child was close to ten years of age. The child ceased to speak of these things after being chastised by friends. The first past life reading I received, answered a couple of questions I had been trying to figure out all my life up to this point. The reading was a part of my studies about how the mind works. There was a fear of jails which made no sense since I was law abiding and had no obvious reason for the fear. The reading related how I had spent most of the adult portion of a lifetime in prison, most of it being in solitary confinement. Before hearing this reading, I did not care who or if I was before. This information really got my attention because I had mentioned this fear to noone before . The evidence was too clear to ignore. This is one way the past is relevant to now.

Answer 2

Perhaps. Belief in such depends on your religious affiliation and other beliefs. If you believe that souls are eternal and believe people have souls, then it is reasonable to believe you were here before.
