The core difference between scientific and magical approaches to psychology is that science sees psychology as a static “black box” with slightly changeable parameters when from magic point of view it’s a constantly developing system of related identities growing from life to life.
We live our lives one by one and in every incarnation we create identities. Once we die it becomes part of our unconsciousness for the next lives. Usually we don’t remember our previous lives and this is crucial to diversifying our experience. But one day everyone reaches the point when using previous experience makes more sense than collecting the new one. Some people just start to remember something, some others must use some techniques to do this. There’re many techniques in this case and they’re all different, from training ability to remember to reincarnating previous identities. We all different so there’s no one best technique for everyone. I’ll describe one that should work for most of people who reached the “point of recalling”.
This is not simple. This is not really hard but not simple.
The main idea of this technique is that we need our experience for further development. Another idea is that there’s some part of us that never dies.
First part is the underlying technique – identification. We see, hear, feel… the outer world from some point inside the head. It’s not “where I am” but it’s “where I watch from”. This point is moveable. The easiest trick is to move it along your body. It usually stops in chakras and changes your perception accordingly (btw it’s a good practice to look at different things from different chakras – sometimes it enables to overcome the stereotypical understanding). Next step is to move this point out of body. Try to move it to some object like table or tree, if you do it right you should feel what it feels that moment – this is identification.
Second part is to find the part of us that never dies. Well, this is a part that develops through all our lives. So it would be good idea to look for something developing. Try to recall all the cases of your life when you learned something. Not these gray annoying days in the school but something that made you feel you really advanced. All these memories have something in common, some special feeling of advancing, of growth – this is what you need, catch this feeling. Now there’s some point where this feeling comes from, you must find it. If you never tried to catch your feeling this way try to use Osho’s technique “Look into your headache” from “The Orange Book”, it should work. The point is something like 8 – 10 inches before your forehead and 2 inches above your eyes.
Now identify yourself with this point. There must be some hardly describable feeling when you do this – this is a new connection built between parts of your… psyche. And now try to recall some of your childish dreams, if you did everything right, it must look more like memories now. If it doesn’t – start from the beginning and don’t forget that not everyone can do it, so if you constantly fail you maybe do not need it or you need some other technique.
Ancient Greeks believed that when we die we drink water from river Letha to forget our lives, and before we come into the world we drink it again to forget our post mortal existence.
But there was another river in realm of Hades – Mnemosine that returned memory. And there was goddess with same name that personalized memory and identity.
So if you succeeded, you can talk now to this part of yours and it will tell you about your past lives and show it. And this in turn will help you to develop the new identity, because identity is what really disables recalling memories from the past lives and if you rebuild it to enable you to recall your memories you just stop dying, because death is forgetting.
