5: Why don’t we normally remember our past lives? Why do we age?

The nature of this universe is change. That is the reason why time exists. There is also a state that is ‘outside of time’ where everything exists simultaneously but we don’t normally perceive it because we don’t normally need it to refine our existence. So, we will focus on what we do perceive which is the passing of time. Like all things that we perceive, the flow of time is dependent on the observer. Mechanical clocks use gravity as their basis so they will not move at the same rate when in a different gravitational field from which they were calibrated. Furthermore, gravity is considered a curvature in time/space so you can see that ‘time’ really is flexible.

Karma is like the universe’s way of giving us a nudge in the right direction. That would imply, a change in direction. The main reason that we grow old and die is because we mold ourselves into someone that is full of set answers/reactions, someone that can’t learn or evolve. Like someone who is a racist, thinking that every one of “those” types of people is like “this”. That’s why even though I’m saying that I have some answers, I always remind that these are answers that I believe for now, and are subject to change/revision. Anyway, since the nature of the universe is change, when we stop changing on the inside, the outside changes through deterioration. I’m not saying that it’s bad to get old either, since there is no ‘perfect’ state there will always be a need for a change of lives to fully change a perspective. Of course there are those that don’t die of old age. It just means that they DID learn what they needed while they were here.

We don’t remember our past lives normally, because we are given what we need to evolve, in our present lifetime!

    I think the nature of universe is creation which can be interpreted as change.
    Time is a unit invented by us to measure something which neither has a beginning nor an end. So in reality I don't really think it exists, but yes, it exists for us, as we are far too conditioned to think in terms of time.
    I think karma and our present lives are tools to evolve ourselves.

58: What is your take on people who appear to be making money selling a path to enlightenment?(other than a book)

I believe that anyone who has attained enlightenment understands that it can’t be bought, sold, or given away, for that matter. Also, attaining enlightenment does not guarantee someone’s character because people can change. This is a very complex question so I think I’ll use myself as an example: I believe that I’m blessed to have had my experience of enlightenment, out of appreciation I sacrifice some of my time to share what I have found out. The amount of time that I have to spend sharing/helping/answering questions is limited because I need an income in order to support myself. It turns out that I like this kind of work much more than I like my ‘regular’ job. If I were to make money by answering questions, I would be able to dedicate my life to it, thereby having more time to express positive influence. Personally, I rather make my work available to everyone for free via my blog, because how can I sell something that was given to me? I will make the first book available in April, a...

38: Did Jesus really "save" us giving his life on the cross?

First of all, I want to point out that Jesus gave us his life before he was sacrificed on the cross. People like myself that believe in reincarnation, don’t necessarily consider death to be a sacrifice. People that lead their life to teach others, as opposed to seeking isolated personal happiness, are living a sacrifice. Jesus was one of the greatest teachers known to this earth and he gave his life in order to teach us all how to live. In that way, you could say that he saved many of us by giving us guidelines on how to save our soul. Again, most people that believe in reincarnation don’t believe in eternal damnation. I do believe in a state of energy re-newel that recycles conscious energy thereby converting a negative outcome into energy to realize another equation. Meaning that, if a life energy is in conflict with the nature of the universe and can’t be fixed, it will be ‘destroyed’ (recycled). Teaching how to move with the flow of nature, which he taught, saves you from this re...

30: How can I find out about my previous incarnation?

There are three main ways to find out about your previous incarnations that I am aware of. You could A., take yourself to nirvana/enlightenment and ‘see them’ (I did not do this). You could B., meditate and start remembering every detail of your day, the previous, and all days prior until you regress before this lifetime. Next, you could will your mind to continue regression through your most recent past life, and prior. The most popular way would be C., through hypnosis. There are many practitioners of hypnosis that specialize in past life regression. Usually, past life regression hypnosis is used to help people deal with phobias that are manifestations of events from past lives. For instance, a phobia of water may come from the person drowning in a previous incarnation. By working out the feelings behind the drowning death, the person may be able to overcome the phobia in their present life. I agree with many people, that we should live in the present, not the future or the past, bu...
