Three levels of past life

25 October, 2010

Please understand, it is out of the past that your present is made and future is going to be made. You have three levels of past:

  • The first level past is from the moment of your birth, till the present moment
  • The second level past is the time before you took this body, but after you took the identity which you carry; the many births you took after the first dust of identity gathered on your pure consciousness
  • The third level past is before even you took that identity; that is the cosmic archive

The first level past is the incidents of your current life.

The second level past are the memories and experiences of many births. I can call that as bhoogarbha memory - the memories which you accumulated and the experiences which you had through many bodies.

The third level past is the past even before you assumed this identity - the pure consciousness. That is what is the cosmic archives, where the past of the whole world is available. This is the hiranyagarbha. Understand, whenever I talk about my past life, I talk from that third layer. Actually, if I have to really tell the truth, all the lives which have happened on planet Earth are my past lives! This is the ultimate statement from the third level of past life*.* This is the truth.

From the bhoogarbha level, from the various bodies of the past, I collected the bio-memories which I wanted to create this body. I specially chose a few bio-memories, and that is why I identify with those bio-memories more than others.

So, understand the different levels of past and past life. Then you will be able to understand very clearly, how releasing the past heals your present and takes you to the future.

The Shiva Sutras give you a very beautiful technique. If you just sit and even remember those memories, so many blockages associated with those memories will leave your system through the kurma nadi. Understand, just simple remembrance, actual simple remembrance, will lead to reliving. Reliving will automatically relieve the engrams which you accumulated unnecessarily in this life, the blockages which you created unnecessarily in this life.

Coming to terms with the past will awaken the intuition in you to come to terms with the future.

Meditation technique

Sit comfortably with eyes closed and spine straight. Sit and remember the engrams or past engraved memories*, the samskaras* that you carry in any particular area in your life – whether it is health or wealth or work or relationships. Relive them as vividly as you can. Reliving them with intelligence will digest them naturally, letting the energy and the wisdom stay, while the unnecessary part will just automatically disappear from the system.
