WHAT HAPPENS TO THE OBJECTIVE PAST WHEN WE DIE?
When breathing ceases, all the mental and physical growth and development that resulted from living life cease to exist. The cloak of the objective past has lost its connection to the body.
Death releases this energy. But it continues to exist as an attachment to the world from which it arose. Like a vapor, each person’s past maintains a physical existence, circulating as a force, bound to the atmosphere of the earth. This is measurable and discoverable. We just do not yet know how to access it.
Absent its bodily attachment, this objective record of a life is freed. Where does it go?
MEMORY is an earth-bound force. This characteristic makes it possible for earth-bound people to be in contact with these events during their lives. The energy of past lives, containing all the events and knowledge therein, hovers forever in the atmosphere. It may be concentrated or scattered and diffused in the earth’s ether shell. It does not escape into space. It is accessible to those sensitive to it. Someday we will create a machine that will be able to “read” these forces and translate them into a recognizable form that all may appreciate.
That we are forever attached to our planet is illustrated by the rapid body deterioration that occurs when we distance ourselves from terrestrial intimacy. Astronauts have not gone very far or very long from earth. Yet they quickly begin losing muscle and bone mass. Everything that arises from the earth must maintain the connection to its origins. This includes memory, which, like the atmosphere itself, naturally stays attached to the planet. The atmospheric attachment to the planet is explained by physics. Being originally of the earth, the objective past events of all that occurred on earth maintain a connection to the physical planet.
The body returns to the dust or is destroyed. The soul [if there is one] returns to its origins in the spiritual realm. Our earth-bound pasts are held by functional gravitational pull to their original space and time.
Once freed from the human body, our experiences persist in the atmosphere. Every past moment remains forever bound within the physical environment surrounding the earth’s crust.
The roots of peoples’ pasts are buried in their material and mental lives. Each past persists as an extant remnant, originally transitioned from each present. It hovers in the atmosphere near the body of its origin. As time goes by and the connection weakens, this record, persisting in its time but no longer held by its body, diffuses away. When the bodily roots dissolve and are withdrawn, this entity floats away like smoke held in a jar when the lid is removed.
The power to resist detachment from the past upon death varies, depending on the strength of the initial bond. People with strong personalities and with great willpower hold on to the memory force greater after death. But even they lose their attachment over time.
A person’s freed memory force remains, even as it loses its consolidation. It persists like a mist in the earth’s atmospheric shell.
Rulers, celebrities, and well-known individuals become part of the objective memories of their contemporaries. The memory of a VIP can be strongly retained in the memory force of others. When these others pass away, the freed force of their lives compounds that of the famous person.
This intensifies and solidifies the vaporous circulating memory force. If a thousand people were strongly affected by a person’s actions, then this population adds to the memory of that well-known individual. The more who knew or were in contact with someone when she or he was alive, the greater the memory force that endures. When the public forms an emotional bond with a celebrity or leader, the power of that person’s memory after death is enhanced. The stronger this memory, the more coherent it becomes, the more readily it can be accessed. That is why most “recalled lives” are of people of fame and notoriety.
THESE PAST LIFE FORCES CAN BE ACCESSED
These perpetually airborne past life energies are accessible, especially by individuals whose willpower, mindfulness, and ego are suppressed or rendered inactive. The fully undistracted mind is positioned to perceive the memory force of another. Without an operant sense of self, the objective memories of the deceased can be incorporated into the minds of some people.
These people feel the power of the freed memory force within themselves. When this power is enhanced by large numbers of additional memories from the era when they all walked the earth together, it can be strong and vivid. The augmented memory material magnifies the ability of the will-suppressed mind to tap into this hovering force.
Willpower is turned off when the subject is asleep, under hypnosis, in a fugue state, unconscious from some trauma, in deep meditation, and other similar mental states. In these moments, the mind is open to perceiving former lives that are circulating nearby in the atmosphere.
A strong ego – centered and satisfied with the present self – would naturally react against owning a past life. A powerful sense of self, fortified by a strong personality, rejects the concept that another identity lies within it. An individual with great willpower and personal contentment feels complete within. Another identity – including a different past person – would demean and erode the completeness. But even a strong willed individual may be able to perceive and interpret a past life as their own. Reincarnation can be an attractive desire by anyone.
Most people who perceive past lives do so in a state of ego suppression. They are asleep, hypnotized, rendered unconscious, or otherwise had their ego deadened. In that condition, they are most susceptible to viewing the energy of a past life. They are also most receptive to believing that what they are seeing is their own previous lifetimes.
The greater the deceased person’s fame and impact in the world, the increased likelihood of that memory being detected by someone in a will-suppressed state. The overwhelming majority of reported experiences of tapping into (“recalling”) past lives occur while the subject is unconscious to some degree. People who were outstanding, remarkable, and striking in their own time leave memory forces more readily accessible.
When this happens, the contemporary subject taps into the knowledge, characteristics, and experiences of the departed. He or she can know secrets, skills, languages, and news-of-the-day. Recovering from the fugue may leave no vestige of the past life. Because it is not the receiver’s own past life. It is the freed memory energy, enhanced by the energy of others. They are not viewing their own experiences, but those of another, who is long gone. The recaller does not become that individual.
But the one person tapping the memory of another feels the intimacy of that person from a different time. The sensation is so potent it makes one identify with the experience of that memory.
Not everybody in a hypnotic condition taps into the past life force of another. Some have greater innate tendencies to accomplish this connection than most others. In their dream-like condition, the witnessing of someone else’s past is real and definitive. Therefore, it is not surprising that the person interprets the witnessing of seemingly real events as a life they themselves lived.
To summarize the process of reincarnation:
Every person has a past that persists in its own time. The objective reality of this past is an actual force that is attached to the physical body. This is an unalterable memory. After death, the memory energy is released into the atmosphere, where it continues to exist forever. It is not the person. It is the objective memory of all that happened to that person. It gets diluted by all the other released memories hovering around. Some are stronger and more easily perceived. Having one’s will suppressed facilitates tapping into these objective memories. These people gain an impression that they are recalling their own pasts and, therefore, are reincarnated. But they are merely attaching their minds to that force.
