What if we are unable to recall past life through what we call our
normal state of consciousness, but through "altered" or deeper states
of consciousness we could recall past lives. The past life memories
maybe very subtle in the sub-councious and be overwhelmed with
present memories, thoughts, emotions. This might explain past life
regression experiences. It's like trying to tune into a whisper in
the presence of thousands of loud noises. Meditation is very good at
calming the noise of random thoughts and control emotions and could
help recall past lives. I don't think that we can conclude that our
"normal" state of consciousness is all there is to consciousness.
There is much evidence that there is much more to consciousness than
most of us have even imagined.
The state of consciousness that I experienced during my NDE was at a
completely different level than I normally experience now . It's like
we are dumbed down in the body and consciousness seems restricted.
Perhaps we can learn to over come the restrictions of consciousness
and develop PSI abilities, including past like recall, just like
learning any other skill. I think that we are continuing to evolve
and higher consciousness would be a logical progression.
