Is Past Life Regression Real?
Not all experiences recalled in a Past Life Regression (PLR) have actually been lived out in a former lifetime. Whether or not hypnotic past life regressions consistently uncover past life experiences is likely to remain open for debate. Past life recollections are not necessarily complete or accurate; so the mind often remembers the most emotionally laden events, and fill in the rest with confabulations. This is typical of us in our present-life memories as well. Your memory and your imagination come from the same source. However, that which comes out of the subconscious mind in dreams, imagining or fantasy symbolizes some aspect of a person’s life, so what is retrieved as past-life memories can also be metaphors for present-life events and circumstances. Yet, whether the memories are real or imagined, it’s of no significance if the recalled experience solves the problem or offers insight; which is usually the case.
