What Your Past Lives Teach You
Lessons from past lives repeat in this one
Past lives offer us a tremendous amount of insights. Who we were and what we did shape who we are today in every way possible. Just like what you did in your childhood shapes you now. We don't remember past lifetimes but they are there, beneath our surface, very much playing a role in what we do today.
Why we don't remember past lifetimes
Many of us, have lived hundreds of lives and old souls have likely lived thousands. It would simply be too much to remember all of the information contained within our past lifetimes. Think of how when someone is in their late 80s or 90s they have a harder time remembering things that happened, the brain can only store so much information.
In addition to this, we agree on a soul level before incarnating to forget much of what we have been through. This gives us a clean slate of sorts. But it isn't really that clean.
We are very much influenced by the things we have done before and the people we have known. What I have noticed as a reader, is that we carry over karma from certain past lives, ones that our soul wants to continue focusing on.
