There is
something intriguing about taking a past lives test, so
when I shared the interest with a friend she put me in
touch with a hypnotist who specialised in past lives
regression. Now,
instantly suspicious of anyone undertaking such a past
lives test in exchange for my hard earned cash, I was
relieved when I heard that he was retired and didn't
want any cash, he would offer the service for free. Good
start. After exchanging pleasantries, I was invited to
lie down and make myself comfortable. I won't explore the hypnotic technique,
just explain what happened next. Now, those totally suspicious of any past lives
test or regression work, should know that I share your cynicisms, however what
was fascinating about this past lives regression was that even if it was totally
fictional, all totally constructed within my dreamspace, it felt stunningly real
and stunningly realistic, and that, in itself, made the whole experience
worthwhile.
When we first
started, I was invited to revisit my first incarnation on
this planet, and as I did so I became aware that I was a
boy, perhaps 8-11 years old who was mute. Now I have never
been mute, but what was striking about the experience was
that being mute totally altered my cognitions; I couldn't
even think as a talking adult, merely thinking in stubborn
concepts. I don't know
when the past life incarnation took place, but it was
certainly in a pre-industrialised world, and I lived in a
hay barn, above the living quarters of a family who were not
mine. After a
period, I was told by the hypnotist to fast forward to the
moment this incarnation died. I confess that I found this
idea somewhat scary, however did so and found that I 'died'
very young, having slipped in a mountainous passage and
being unable to cry for help, I 'died' of cold and
starvation. Then was brought back to the present.

Now, as stated
above, this experience could have been total fiction, my own
generated reality, but it felt very, very real. I was eager
to try out the past life regression experience again. So I
did, over a total of four sessions, before they ended
unexpectedly. Now, if the
sessions are to be believed, I was never anybody even the
remotest bit famous. I was a mute peasant boy, I worked as a
hand on a naval ship hundreds of years ago, I was a soldier
in the French army, I was the son of a racist landowner who
kept slaves in the American South, and finally I was a
ironmonger, working for a pittance making horse shoes.
It was during this last
incarnation that I decided to end the sessions. The reason was simply, during
this last session, as I surveyed the landscape around my place of work, there
was a small lady figure, draped in a tight black shawl who was staring at me,
staring through me. She wasn't part of the scene, but outside it, in a way that
is almost impossible to explain. I started shaking violently and
it took the hypnotist some time to pull me out of the past lives test. Even
today, some years later, I still shudder when I recall that figure staring at
me. Who, or what it was I may never know, but I will never regret undertaking
the past lives regression. Now find out who you were in your past lives by entering your date of birth to start the past lives test: [Date format 00/00/00]
