Ah, but that is different my friend.
Every 10 years in this life. This life is constrained by our unavoidable encounter with death. We recapitulate to get at the intent hidden behind the memories of our past experiences. We try to get back to remembering ourselves as straight fields of energy...un-contorted by a lifetime of abuse brought on by the conforming aspects of the internal dialogue.
So what would be the use of having access to memories that reached past birth/death?
The constraints of death are put in place at birth. Death exists because we intend it from birth.
Reaching beyond it to access memories of past lives may be completely unnecessary.
Quoting: Jonny Blaze I appreciate your style and enjoy the exchange here ... You make a lot of great points. So, if we retained our memories before our incarnation, we would know for certain the following:
1. Life continues after death and there is much, much less to fear about death itself.
2. That life is eternal so we might as well get on with the work of learning useful stuff
3. We'd be far, far less vulnerable to predatory leadership
4. We'd, over incarnations, gain a much, much clearer picture of history
It would probably give us a radically improve leadership paradigm on the macro level.
More and more of the BS in our culture would be culled out and I can see a dramatic reduction of violence ... at least at the global war level.
