Calling up Past Lives
Pluses and
Minuses
Posted
There can be many benefits in past life regression but there can
also be a downside. H P Blavatsky maintained that one should not delve into
past lives as a stand alone activity.
If you think that past life regression is harmless
entertainment, read on:-
Pluses
It may form part of inner work and spiritual development. Inner
work often leads to awareness of past lives
It can relieve an underlying discontent. A problem in this life
may have its roots in a previous one. Past life therapy is popular at the
moment and if you really feel that you have problems caused by unfinished business
from a past life then it may be worth considering.
It may satisfy curiosity – some people have a burning desire to
know.
It sometimes unleashes concealed trauma that is difficult to
handle.
You can call in your Karmic overdraft. A bad Karmic debt
incurred in a past life may become immediately payable or it may simply be
difficult to live with something you have done in a past life.
A person can be drawn into a fantasy world. The life you are
living now is the important one and should really be the only one you concern
yourself with. No point in living in 1066 even if it is a bit more exciting
than working in an office.
You may create thought forms around yourself which disrupt you
present personality. This is a bit like the imprint of a previous personality
gaining a hold over you.

A Positive Note
With responsible inner work and intention, information
from past lives will usually not reveal itself unless the enquirer is ready for
the knowledge.
