Reincarnation of the Soul. Why don't we remember past lives? Why people should remember their past

Is it worth remembering the past and should we forget it? There is no single answer to these questions. There are only options for answers. And everyone has their own. Some say no, because in the past there are many lessons for the present and the future, because this is a part of life and it cannot be torn out like pages from a book. And if you vomit, it will become even more interesting what they were hiding, if they are no longer there .. And then you will have to remember.

Someone when answering this question says “yes” because he believes that there is no more return to the old one, that bridges need to be burned, codes, attendances and passwords must be forgotten forever. But is it so easy to forget the past, your past, and not someone else's? If people often cannot forgive others for their past, is it so easy to let go, forgive and forget about their past? Surely, this is not easy and very painful. But someone succeeds. In this state, people often start life with blank slate and that's not always a bad thing.

It is not easy for those who do not know how to deal with their own past. After all, you can decide for yourself what starts on Monday new life but never overpower yourself. And you can still decide to leave the past in your life and not throw it away like garbage in the trash. But in this case, too, the past can become unbearable burden... Maybe that's why it is better not to forget, but to let go of the past, as if extraordinary balloon, leave him alone and think about the present and the future?

But someone will say that it is not so easy to let him go, forget and forget. But it's worth a try. Many have noticed the fact that even if a person is very attached to his past, then sometimes it is worth letting go just so that over time it will return to the present, woven into it like a thread in a pattern or a puzzle in a picture of life. Over the years, you realize that sometimes this is how it happens. After all, what is destined to remain will remain, no matter how sometimes people run away from their past and what locks they close behind.

If a person diligently runs away from himself, that is, from his own past, then sometimes it happens that he and his family begin to notice that his life seems to be divided into “before” and “after”. He doesn't seem to live in the present, all the time, running away, he returns to what was, like a boomerang. In this case, the effort of the will of the "prisoner" can help. He has at least two ways out of this situation: either to plunge headlong into the present, in order to dull memories of the past, or to learn to live peacefully with his past, doing everything possible so that it does not cut off oxygen to the remaining segment of his life.

But if a person in his youth turns into an old man living in the past, then he runs the risk of missing out on a lot of good things in his present. What then, having seen the light and realizing the amount of losses, he can bitterly regret. Therefore, because of memories, you should not turn into old people ahead of time, otherwise there will be no time and opportunities to accumulate experience in the present, which will make sense to share when real old age comes.

Still, it is worth remembering that there is present, past and future. And these are three separate kingdoms in a state called life. And life is one and every day it is getting shorter. Therefore, you need to learn to forgive yourself and others for the mistakes of the past, which will help you live calmly in the present, with a happy look ahead, into the future. But if there is a feeling that something can be corrected, then you should not miss this chance - you need to act!

We have all heard about such a phenomenon as Reincarnation. Someone read about it in books, someone saw films about it, heard from friends, but for the most part, this is often the end of acquaintance and analysis of this concept... But the understanding of this phenomenon and process plays important role for each of us.

Someone may ask why you need to know this and what is the use of it? The benefits are really huge. We seem to have discouraged craving and striving for knowledge, interest in knowing ourselves and the world around us. After all, every person should ask himself the question: Who am I, why do I live, and what will happen next? People should see more deep meaning life, rather than the satisfaction of their physical needs at the level of existence. Human life is not just vegetation as they are trying to instill in us. A person has this natural interest and questions, to which he in the depths of his soul seeks to find answers, but the social environment does everything possible to prevent this from being realized.

So to the question "What will happen next?" responds, including such a phenomenon as reincarnation. More precisely, it reflects the answer in itself, but there are other sources of the answer. In fact, every religion has this answer. The phenomenon of reincarnation of souls is considered in most Indian religions, but I would like to draw attention to where the Hindus got their knowledge about this, and what quality they were. The Hindus themselves know that the knowledge of the Vedas, including about reincarnation, was given to them by white people from the north. Hindus do not shout about it at every step, but try to pass it off as their own. And which country is located north of India and what kind of white people are, I think it is not difficult to guess. It turns out that this knowledge of reincarnation is not alien to us.

What do other religions say about what will happen to a person after death? Take Christianity, for example. The answer to this question in this religion is that after death a person goes either to hell or to heaven, i.e. this is where life in the physical body, according to the concepts of Christianity, ends, and the soul gets to where it deserves. But few people know that the idea of ​​reincarnation was previously also in Christianity and was excluded from its doctrine only in 1082 at the next Ecumenical Council.

For example, here is a passage from the Gospel of John chapter 9 verse 2:

“Once, seeing a blind man on the threshold of the temple, the disciples approached Jesus and asked:“ Teacher! Who sinned, he or his parents, that he was born blind? "

It follows from this that Jesus' disciples knew that the quality of a person's life would affect the future incarnation, and that the reincarnation of souls is a natural process. It turns out that in the past, the idea of ​​reincarnation was adhered to by most of the world, if not the whole. So why did they suddenly exclude this concept in the same Christianity? Has the phenomenon of reincarnation become so untenable that everyone has forgotten about it? Is there really no evidence to support this? There are many. Take, for example, Ian Stevenson's book Testimonies of the Survival of Consciousness Gleaned from Memories of Previous Incarnations. The author, having been dealing with this issue for almost thirty years, has collected a huge amount of facts. It turns out that in the past, the peoples of the world had reasons to believe in reincarnation, as well as at the present time there is a lot of evidence of this "phenomenon". So why is it that the clearly opposite is suggested to us - that a person lives only once, and then, at best, to heaven or hell?

Let's see what they say famous people, engaged in one degree or another in the knowledge of the world, looking for answers to such important questions. Here is what the writer Voltaire has to say on the subject:

“The concept of reincarnation is neither absurd nor useless. There is nothing strange about being born twice, not once. "
And here are the words of Arthur Schopenhauer:

“If you ask me as an Asian to define Europe, I’ll have to answer like this:“ This is a part of the world dominated by the incredible delusion that man is created out of nothing, and his current birth is the first entry into life. ”
The words of these people make us think about understanding reincarnation or denying it. Knowing that reincarnation exists, a person will consciously acquire and accumulate in himself best qualities, strive to gain positive experience, new knowledge and understanding in order to move even further in the next life. And vice versa, rejecting, a person in ignorance can break the wood, for which later he will have to pay in the next incarnation or even drop out of the circle of incarnations, which often happens with suicide and other violations of the laws of nature. As they say, ignorance of the laws does not absolve from responsibility.

And here it is worth asking the question: "Who benefits from this?" Who benefits from people living through their lives as a waste of life, not realizing themselves and their destiny, and often also working out problems for themselves, which will then have to be sorted out? Let's remember that ideology is the most powerful weapon in the dark hands. With each change of power in the states, the ideology changed, the one that was beneficial to one or another ruler was established. The people often only had to accept that what someone had decided for them, they were often imposed by force, and gradually people forgot everything old and believed in the exact opposite as if by magic. So gradually everything important that a person knew and realized, including the idea of ​​reincarnation, was gradually forgotten.

I would also like to draw attention to what reincarnation exists for, on what some of its mechanisms are based. Apparently, the soul, or, to put it another way, the essence, requires a physical body to accumulate experience at a certain stage of development, otherwise the essence would not be incarnated again and again. And here the moment is interesting why a person, being born in a new body, does not remember about his previous incarnations. Someone allegedly closed our memory so that we would not go along the beaten path, but took a new path, since the previous path apparently turned out to be not so correct. It turns out that even nature itself disposes us in this moment to development.

Consider a fragment from Nikolai Levashov's book "Essence and Mind" volume 2:

“It should be noted that in most cases information about previous incarnations is not available to a person during his life. This is due to the fact that the recording of information occurs on the qualitative structures of the entity. And in order to “read” this information, a person in a new incarnation must reach the same level of evolutionary development that he was in previous or previous lives. And only when a person during his life has advanced evolutionarily further than in any of the previous lives, it is possible to open and read all the information accumulated by the entity over the entire history of its existence. "

But how can a person advance further, if he does not know that he needs it, or rather, he was inspired to do so. The illusion that we live once is destructive for the development process. Thus, a fertile soil is created for various manipulations and traps. Especially for young people, when the substitution of the concept of freedom is slipped, exposing it as licentiousness and permissiveness. Such slogans as: "Life must be lived so that later it would be ashamed to remember" - are a consequence of social illness, which arose as a result of a stolen worldview and understanding of the laws of nature. Following the logic: “we live once - we have to do everything”, and without understanding and proper education, a person goes all-out in pursuit of pleasure, entertainment and imaginary happiness. And happiness still does not come and does not come.

All this negatively affects not only the individual, but society as a whole. People were deliberately deprived of the core that would help them resist many temptations. People have been taught to be passive. With the ideology of a single life, the fear of death, the fear of getting problems, the loss of work, money, home prevails over a person, but if a person knows about reincarnation and the laws of karma, then the situation will radically change. It is more terrible not to die, but to step over such concepts as conscience and honor. A person would think once again before committing a crime, because then he will have to work out in the next incarnation. After all, repentance will not correct the situation and there is no one who would atone for all the sins of mankind for us. Imagine what a society could be like if the correct worldview prevailed in it.

Then a person becomes responsible for his own life. Injustice in society is no longer perceived as someone's punishment or test, but as something that a person himself has the right to cope with. At the same time, not putting your vices into a distant box, but starting to work with them, changing yourself and your future, the future of your people and society as a whole. A person becomes responsible for each of his actions and thoughts. At the same time, he deliberately gains positive traits not only for themselves, but also for their future descendants, wishing to leave them good, not problems. But once all this was, we just need to remember and figure it out. In conclusion, I will quote the words of Eduard Asadov:

It's not enough to be born, they still have to become.

Of our entire company after the war, only Venya and I remained. Vadim went missing, Misha died, Boris died during the blockade of Leningrad, Ira died of typhus, Lyud passed away several years ago, Inna left for Moscow. We did not even notice how we were left alone with him.
He came to me on Sunday at twelve o'clock. I just walked by and went in, without a call, for no reason. We usually saw each other on holidays, birthdays. I didn't want to talk, we sat down and played two games of chess.
“Let's go for a walk,” he suggested.
Rare snow fell; the sky is low, gray, hung like damp linen.
-Okay, - I said reluctantly, - I will accompany you.
On the street, we talked to him about China, about our illnesses, I brought him to a stop and suddenly said:
-Let's go to Vadim.
He was not surprised, only he was silent for a long time, then asked:
"Why? Do you think Galina Osipovna will be pleased?"
No, I didn't think so.
-What about us? Is it worth it?
-As you wish.
Although his tram approached, we took another number, drove to the circus and walked along the Fontanka. All the way we discussed the deaths of American astronauts. About a hundred steps before Vadim's front door, I stopped:
-What do we say?
-Let's say that we were going for a long time, but everyone thought it was inconvenient.
- Well, let's not go, - Vienna agreed patiently.
-It's better to say that by chance it was nearby.
So it seemed to me easier, perhaps because it was not true. Doomedly we moved our legs. Cowardice and fear tormented us. How many times over the years have I happened to pass this gray granite house on the Fontanka. I quickened my steps, averted my eyes, as if someone was watching me. Gradually I got used to it. Almost mechanically, just to get rid of, I noted - this is Vadim's house. Everything else was compressed into his name, and feelings were also compressed. Indeed, why did we not go to his mother, his closest friends?
We were met by Nina Ivanovna, Vadim's aunt:
-Galina Osipovna died thirteen years ago ...
It was so long ago that I felt only belated pity. We were really, really late with the visit.
Thirteen years ... I had no idea. It turns out that she died a few years after I stopped visiting. It was not necessary to link these events. Apparently, I then assured myself that it was cruel to force her to take wounds. I could do nothing to help her - why should I come?
Do I need to visit the wives and mothers of our dead comrades — that's the gate ... You always feel guilty. And in what? What remained alive?
It is my fault that I am healthy, that I am laughing. Galina Osipovna, of course, did not understand why they did not come to her, what had happened. And then something happened ... However, nothing happened, everything was very well, that's the point ...
We stood not knowing how to leave. Because it was more difficult than coming here.
“Forgive us, we have to go,” Vienna said hoarsely.
-Well, you boys, I was glad, -Nina Ivanovna tilted her head in ceremony .- Who would have thought ...
Nevsky Prospect deafened with the noise of the Sunday crowd. Fast heels knocked, cars rushed, sounds collided, scattered, alarming, as if they were looking for someone.
- Alarmed, stirred up, - said Venya. “It’s hard for her, and it’s hard for us.” Strange, what attracted us?
-Do you regret?
“No,” he said. “Someday we had to come.

Each state, nation, family has its own history, which is created over time. Why should we remember our past? It is this topic that is raised in the above text by the Russian Soviet writer Daniil Alexandrovich Granin.

Analyzing this problem, D. Granin turns to a life example. The author tells how he and his friend Venka went to support the mother of the missing son Vadim, but they were met by the boy's aunt. At first Granin regretted that he had come, and then the author said: "Someday we had to come."

a person, the memory of the past allows him to live on.

D. Granin's point of view is confirmed by many Russian literary works. An example is the story "French Lessons" by Valentin Grigorievich Rasputin. V.G. Rasputin, many years later, remembers the teacher of French, which played an important role in the life of the future writer. When the author became a writer, he dedicated the story to his French teacher.

Without knowing our past, we cannot build the future. It is important for every person to know the history of his country, his people, folk heroes. If we do not know and pass on our history to a new generation, then we will lose our roots, which collected our history bit by bit.
