INTRODUCTION
Sometimes people mention certain ideas that I would prefer not to hear. Especially when it addresses something that is unclear or that seems to go against ideas within my current view of reality. It was Larry (see Larry's Section) who wrote the following interesting line:
The Hindu and Buddhist suggest we reincarnate. If we do then what you're experiencing is you not an ancestor.This page is about reincarnation, soul groups and genetic ancestors and it introduces the concept of a 'one-life-memory-stick' in order to increase my understanding of it all (at least to have a workable (subjective) 'reality perspective').
TUNING INTO OTHER REALITIES
During the last couple of months I have begun to enjoy the idea that it would be possible to 'play with realities' in the sense that you might be able to learn to tune into the reality perspective of other people. The key elements of someone's reality would be based on thoughts and it would be this set of thoughts that would be the main determinant of where one would go after death, namely to a 'band' or place that resonates with your reality most, meeting other people who think within the same parameters.
A useful way to learn how to 'reality tune' is by trying to tune into the reality of others. You needn't enter the Monroe Bands to get a feel of it, since probably all realities that can be found in the monroe bands are represented by people living today on our beautiful planet. In other words: if you are able to 'tune' into the reality perspective of others and you notice that it becomes easier and easier, you might consider yourself a better 'reality tuner', which I think, is a very useful skill, especially when you want to remain relatively free after this physical experience.
'IT IS YOU, NOT AN ANCESTOR'
In Part of Two Groups I write about the probability that we would be part of two groups: one group of ancestors that would be connected to the genetic information that our bodies hold, and one group of ancestors that would be connected through a soul-connection: different souls that support each other like a kind of family, but seen from a different perspective these souls are part of ONE 'higher self', just like body parts make up a complete body.
When I experienced the attractiveness of earning a bit of money through this site (Ripening of Thoughts), I felt like I was tuning into the realities of those 'souls' that would inhabit those astral planes that would resonate with this idea. Probably they are my ancestors, either through a genetic or soulgroup connection, I thought. Perhaps, they are just souls who resonate without any of such connections, I don't know.
Perhaps Larry is suggesting that if you take reincarnation seriously, it would imply that there are no 'past-life-ancestors' with whom I could connect, for all those past-life-experiences would be part of me. In that sense I am the sum of all my past-lives. Of course this means that I am responsible for all that I do, all thoughts that I harbor. However, this perspective doesn't seem to take into consideration the existence of the other two 'groups of ancestors'. In order to gain a better understanding I think the concept of a 'one-life-memory-stick' can be useful.
A 'ONE-LIFE-MEMORY-STICK'
Robert Monroe described in one of his three books (Far Journeys) what would happen before you would decide to incarnate (or reincarnate) in a human body. You would need to agree with a set of rules before you could actually enter 'the game'. One of the rules would be that you agree to 'temporarily delete' all of your prior memories. The biggest reason for this rule would be that you are then able to completely identify with the body you are about to enter. Otherwise you might not take it too seriously, or you may 'spoil the fun' because you already know far too much about the 'relativity' of what happens on Earth.
Therefore most of us are not likely to remember a lot of our past-lives. The memory of those lives, however, is only temporarily deleted, meaning that it is still stored somewhere, and perhaps it makes things easier to imagine having a load of 'one-life-memory-sticks' that you have with you, but that you have agreed to not to use during this present incarnation. Each Memory-stick is filled with all thoughts, feelings, experiences that one had during one life on Earth.
USING THREE KIND OF MEMORY STICKS
If I extend upon this idea, it would imply that not only we would have the potential information that we, as one single reincarnating soul, would have, consisting of all the 'one-life-memory-sticks' of all our previous incarnations throughout time, but we might also have access to the one-life-memory-sticks of those lives that we might resonate with because of our genetic propensities, and we have the potential information from all those other souls with whom we would be connected with through this 'higher self bond'.
The big advantage of this view of reality is that it allows you to potentially 'tune into' or 'read' the memory sticks of all those with whom you are connected. I guess the rule is that you might gain access to all those memory sticks slowly, as long as you are able to open up to it, or perhaps see the relativity of your present reality. Perhaps these memory sticks contain the information that might allow you to become a skilled tuner, because it is likely that these memory sticks contain many thoughts of unlimited reality perspectives that all those people once lived (or perhaps are going to live).
Perhaps the rules of 'shutting off access' to these memory sticks are not as strict when we sleep or dream. Perhaps we are in a slightly different mode when we dream, a mode that could be described as 'less bothered by the strict rules of our physical-day-reality'. It might be this mode that can be developed or trained in order to reap the wisdom that is stored on these 'three kinds of memory sticks'.
A VIVID MEMORY STICK?
One of the questions that comes up is, how alive is a consciousness related to a memory stick? Is there perhaps a possibility to 'activate' a certain 'one-life-memory-stick' making it seem alive, as if it some kind of holographic existence, like the holodeck from Star Trek? Seen from this perspective it is quite understandable that some astral souls prefer not to reincarnate and turn slightly theocratic for reincarnation would imply the 'temporary deletion' of their consciousness to some kind of memory bank, how personal it may be.
CONCLUSION
Although this concept will probably release a load of new questions, I tend to incorporate it my present working hypothesis. In the article 'part of two groups' I mention Monroe's idea that during a new incarnation first a few souls from a soul group form the new consciousness until due to the circumstances and the development of consciousness a new 'personality' forms. After the formation of this new personality with it's unique perspective on reality, the initial souls would 'disconnect' and take up their role as a supporter, no longer as the basic representatives of the consciousness of this new person.
Perhaps this sheds another light on those reincarnation stories that you sometimes hear about little boys in India who talk about their lives in a certain other village in detail, even describing people they have never seen. From the current perspective one might wonder if this information comes from a 'one-life-memory-stick' related to the biological/genetic ancestors, another member of the soul-group or the past-life experiences of the current soul.
