Why do we FORGET our SOUL MEMORIES? How can we REMEMBER?

On my last 2 posts I spoke about the spiritual awakening and you might be asking yourself:

Why do we fall asleep in the first place?
why do we forget our soul existence once we are born in here, as humans?

If you would like to understand better about the veil of forgetfulness, this post is for you. As the name says, it is a veil that is placed upon us when we arrive here, on Earth, that makes us forget every single previous experience that we had before we were born as a human. It also stops us from seeing the other levels of reality such as the astral worlds.

If you pay a special attention, you will realize that the veil is much thinner on children (until they’re roughly five years old) and on people that are approaching the end of their lives and are about to cross over to the other side.

There are some researchers that found evidence of past lives on children that can remember their previous experiences, and they give so many accurate details that can be verified. If you want to know more about this, search on Google “children that can remember past lives” and I’m sure you will find a lot of things about this.

Even when they don’t remember anything specific, children are always telling a lot of stories and sometimes there are fragments inside these stories that are memories from a previous life, but we tend to dismiss them as being just imagination!

Kids can see through the veil as well and you can see it happening when they talk alone (or at least it looks like they’re talking alone), when they have imaginary friends or even when they look at someone and start to cry, which usually happens because the person’s energy is very different than type of energy the child is used to.

The same happens with some people when they are getting ready to cross over, they start to have visitors from the other side, people that have died before them and they have full conversations with these people while they’re still here, on this side.

As you can see, it is just a veil, it does not delete the memories from your previous experiences, they are still there, stored into your subconscious mind! And you can still access parts of it using only your conscious mind.

How to Remember your Soul Memories

If you are trying to understand your journey using only your human limited point of view, it’s like trying to understand a whole movie watching only the trailer.

Sometimes it is important to access the soul memories, or at least parts of it, so you can understand better the things that are happening in your life, and there are a few different ways that you can do that!

The first obvious way to gain access to this kind of information is to go for a past life regression therapy session. There are some internationally renowned names that left students all over the world, so if you are willing to do this kind of session, I recommend you to search for a good professional that, preferably, have learned from one of these masters:

Brian Weiss that became famous for his book “Many Lives, MAny Masters”

Michael Newton that develop a hypnosis technique called “Life Between Lives” and published 2 incredible books “Journey of Souls” and “Destiny of Souls”

Dolores Cannon that developed a regression technique called “Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique” and published many books

I had the pleasure of being one of Dolores Cannon’s students and meet her in person while she was still alive. On her technique is possible to contact the subconscious, or the “Higher Self”, to get answers from the soul about the difficulties in this life.

Another way you can access this kind of information is by visiting the Akashic Records through meditation. This place is like a library in the astral world that has the records of every single life that was ever lived, including all of yours!

There are some books about this subject and you can find a lot of information on the internet as well. All you have to do is to research a bit and practice to visit this place when you meditate.

The last way that I’ll mention today about how you can access the subconscious memories about your past lives is by observing your preferences on this lifetime.

Even though you are not consciously aware, these memories are still there, so when you come across something that was familiar to you in a past experience, you will feel it for sure!

This can manifest as a special connection that you feel towards pretty much anything, a period in history, the culture of a country, a language, food, music… Anything that you feel naturally attracted to might indicate a past life.

The same happens about people as well. Do you know when you meet some people and it feels like you know them for a lifetime? While others, you simply dislike them even though they didn’t do anything to you?

Well, it might be related to these memories, you don’t remember consciously but your subconscious does recognize them and it sends you some signals for your to pay attention.

Why We Forget the Soul Memories

You can access some of your soul memories that might help you on your journey, but you will hardly remember everything because there are some good reasons for us to forget.

One of the reasons why we don’t remember everything is because our consciousness could not handle the amount of information about our whole existence at the time and space that we find ourselves now.

This phenomenon is explained by Matías De Stefano that says being capable of remembering his past lives because he used to work in the Akashic Records, and because of this, his consciousness is used to handle a lot of information.

Another reason why we don’t remember everything is found on Dolores Cannon’s material. During her hypnosis sessions, while she accessed her client’s “Higher Self”, she used to ask “Why don’t we remember? Wouldn’t be easier?”, and usually the answer was “but that would be like cheating the exams”.

According to these theories, Earth is a school and you have chosen every exam that you have in your life, so it makes sense because if you could have all the answers for all your questions, probably you wouldn’t master all the lessons that you came here to learn.

And also, if you could remember everything, it would be a huge distraction for the lessons that you are working on this lifetime, it would be like reading a history book when you were going for a math exam!

The last reason that I will mention today for the veil of forgetfulness is found on the reincarnation theories as well. Part of our journey is to balance energies with other souls with whom we had negative experiences before, and that would be almost impossible to do if we could remember everything that happened.

Sometimes is already hard to forgive people that hurt us in this life, imagine if we could remember all the other ones? Terrible things happen on this planet until nowadays, I don’t even like to think about the traumatic experiences that the souls had to go through when they incarnated centuries ago!

You might be asking yourself “but when is the veil removed then?”. Well, it starts to get thinner when you are about to cross over to the other side, so you can see it, but the memories from your past lives, according to the hypnotherapy books, will only come back when you do your life review in the other side!

Now what happens between death and this life review is a subject for another post in the future!
