Can we know about past lives?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"To know about past lives is to dive into the depths of your being, where memories linger, waiting for the right moment of understanding and purpose to emerge."
According to Osho, past lives can be known because nothing experienced is ever lost; memories persist in the deep unconscious and can be accessed through disciplined regression—hypnosis or deep meditation—after first retracing this life back to conception. Yet nature wisely veils them; premature recall can overwhelm and unbalance the mind. Approach only with understanding, guidance, and purpose, not curiosity; Mahavira and Buddha pioneered such remembrance.
Yes—you can remember past lives, but those memories are very deep, so use careful guidance and go slowly or it can be upsetting.
Why this matters practically
- Promotes careful self-inquiry instead of reckless curiosity that can destabilize the mind.
- Suggests a method: fully revisit this life first to heal patterns, then explore deeper layers.
- Stresses seeking skilled guidance and a clear purpose when accessing unconscious memories.
