Your past lives can make you more predisposed to get sad more easily than other people who let difficulties roll off them easily. This is because past lives influence our subconscious and personality in three key ways: our functional mind, destiny, and inner motivation (our nature).
All humans have a unique bond between how their minds and body work harmoniously. The physical body is the biological vessel we were born into. Our mind, however, is composed of two distinct parts, the conscious mind (of which we have full awareness) and the subconscious mind, the 90% of our brain that drives our innermost world. One’s subconscious is heavily imprinted with some marks stemming back to previous lifetimes. For example, consider how you might have a visceral reaction toward meeting a stranger. This could be due to having unresolved issues with them in a previous life!
We all have lived in multiple previous incarnations. So, of course, these memories live on, housed in our unconscious. But just because we aren’t consciously aware of them doesn’t mean these memories don’t impact our daily lives. Surprisingly, only 2% of our memories are from this lifetime. Typically, we carry over roughly 49% of memories from each previous lifetime, with our brain being able to house upwards of 1000 incarnations!
Recall if your parents mentioned what personality traits you had as a baby or toddler. These attributes were carryovers from your previous life. For instance, a happy baby often had a careful life in its previous vessel. Even in adulthood, 49% of our core personality is due to over previous lives. Inherited personality is built upon for upwards of 1000 lives and often goes unchecked over time. But most frequently, we exhibit the traits of our previous seven lives. No wonder why it’s so hard to break your bad habits!
Difficulties you encounter in life can trigger a dormant personality component from a previous life. For example, phobias in this life stem from experiences you had in previous lives, often involving your previous demises. New traits we pick up in our current life comprise roughly 2% of our modern persona. Because we carry over so much from previous lives, we can find ourselves in a vicious cycle. Frequently, it is negative emotions that easily glum onto us from a previous life. These emotions will then, in turn, potentially hinder our current life. Therefore, you must pay special attention to your negative attributes and work to mindfully health them.
Heal these hurts by creating space, balance, and peace in your life. Work to center yourself and act with benevolence. The more you take care to do good in this life, the more likely it will ripple into the next one. Likewise, doing good is a balm to a wounded soul. It is said that much of the pain we experience in life is from our negative personality traits and trials from previous lives. Therefore, acting in goodness and love
Be aware of your intentions. Although it can feel good to act out, negative actions can have deep repercussions. Acting negatively can negate all the good work you are doing and create negative karma. This karma will then be carried over unnecessarily into your next life. Likewise, negative energies create a weakness in our spirit that can leave us vulnerable to maladies and manipulation in our life and promote more negativity around us. Work to remedy this today by acting mindfully and loving to yourself and others. This will not only affect your current life and personality but lessen the toxic effects of wounds from previous lives. Acting in a peaceful, loving, and balanced mindset can help cultivate good karma and refresh your soul.
‘Healing past wounds’ through mindful living resonates with many contemporary self-help ideologies. A comparison with modern psychological theories would enhance this article’s depth.
The notion that phobias may stem from previous lifetimes is particularly fascinating. It suggests a deeper psychological framework that could enhance our understanding of human behavior.
The discussion on karma is thought-provoking. I appreciate how it emphasizes personal responsibility across lifetimes, yet I would like to see more on how this concept can be applied in practical terms.
‘Negative actions creating negative karma’ is an interesting proposition. However, it raises questions about free will and the extent to which past experiences dictate our choices today.
“While the link between past lives and present behavior is intriguing, it remains speculative. A multidisciplinary approach might yield richer insights into human psychology.”
This article presents a compelling argument for the continuity of consciousness. However, it would benefit from a more rigorous exploration of empirical evidence supporting these claims.
The interplay between past lives and current personality traits raises intriguing questions about the nature of identity. I wonder how this perspective can influence therapeutic practices.
I find the idea that only a small fraction of our memories originate from this lifetime quite provocative. It challenges conventional views on memory and its role in shaping who we are.
