Part 1. Practical course on past life recall training

The spiritual self-development group presents:

The practice of conscious development of your higher self. A practical course of exercises.

The course is created based on the author's methodology.

What you extract from each difficult life, you will gain for eternal times.

Michael Newton

To live in the world without becoming aware of the meaning of the world is like wandering about in a great library without touching the books.

Manly Palmer Hall

The reason for the existence of all sentient beings is to enhance awareness.

Carlos Castaneda. The Fire from Within

A man is dying. At the moment when his physical suffering reaches its limit, he hears the doctor pronounce him dead. He hears some kind of ringing and, at the same time, he senses himself moving very rapidly through a long, dark tunnel. Suddenly, he finds himself outside of his own physical body.

Raymond Moody. Life after Life

Chapter 1. Preparation. Stopping the inner monologue. Three techniques

1. What is the inner monologue

Normally, a person mentally talks to themselves, even in complete solitude. Many people don't notice this constant «chatterbox» in their head and believe that they hear their own thoughts, that it's their inner voice. There are those who say they don't hear their inner monologue, but when, with an effort of will, they pay attention to it, they can easily hear it.

So, some voice that we are accustomed to considering «our own» constantly comments on what is happening around us, our memories, or dreams. When attempting to stop it with willpower, it becomes uncomfortable for a person, as the habit of talking to oneself has firmly rooted itself in our consciousness. We constantly hear within ourselves: «I need to go and make lunch; tomorrow at work, I'll first do this, then that; my nose is itching; how nice it is outside; finally, spring has arrived…» and so on.

The internal monologue becomes especially strong when a person feels hurt, anger, worry, or other intense emotions. Sometimes we repeat the same thing several times, especially if we are preparing for an important meeting or lacking self-confidence. If we ask psychologists, they will say that it is normal: verbalizing our thoughts is a habit, a common trait of consciousness. However, the more we observe our internal dialogue from an outside perspective, the more we notice that the chatter in our head becomes a wall that separates us from reality. It's as if we retreat inside ourselves and fail to notice anything around us.

In old age, the internal monologue turns into constant muttering «to oneself» and often a person talks to themselves out loud, even when alone.

In Carlos Castaneda's books, the wise Indian Don Juan explains to Carlos that the internal monologue is our first enemy on the path to freedom because it does not belong to our consciousness but is the voice of the embedded mind of a mental «parasite». This topic deserves a separate book. However, within the scope of this training course, we need to understand one thing: in order to delve into the process of recalling past lives and clearly see the is of other worlds, we must first learn to stop the internal monologue, even if only for a short period of time.

2. Why is it necessary to stop the internal monologue?

This needs to be done for two reasons.

Firstly, it is needed in order to maintain a goal you have set for yourselves. For example, if you want to see your first life on Earth, being in a state of inner silence will help you achieve that. However, if the internal monologue interferences and you start discussing sensations in your body, your extraneous thoughts and so on, the entire picture will disintegrate.

So, stopping the internal monologue is necessary for concentration during the process of recalling. Secondly, the absence of chatter in the mind helps to remember past life events with maximum clarity and to ask pre-planned questions while browsing that life. In other words, it's about gaining control over the flow of memories and your awareness.

There is another benefit to mastering this simple technique: it provides a respite from your thoughts. Sometimes it is helpful to simply sit in silence, disconnect from problems or unnecessary emotions. Inner silence is like a flow of revitalizing energy that helps you to rest, feel new strength within yourself, or gain clarity about your emotions.

Over time, when stopping the internal monologue becomes a familiar practice for you, you can use this technique not only as a starting point for remembering past lives but as a standalone meditation. Twenty minutes without the internal monologue can fill a person with strength and joy – it has been verified repeatedly!

3. Conditions necessary for this practice

Preparation for stopping the inner monologue: necessary conditions

1. Privacy

In order for you to be able to stop the inner «chatterbox», you need privacy, at least for a short time. If there is no such possibility in your house, for example, loud sounds interfere, then you can use meditative music and turn off the «sounds of the world» using headphones. In extreme cases, if you are still being disturbed, for example: the phone rings, your relatives are talking or a noisy animal lives in your house, – you can go for a walk, preferably in a garden or a square and walk there in silence, using the third technique of stopping the inner monologue. In fact, if you firmly and persistently explain to your family that you need half an hour of silence, they will understand you and give you time for your exercises.

2. Twilight

Another optional but desirable condition is the presence of evening light or twilight. In a bright sunny day or under bright artificial light, it can be somewhat more challenging to disconnect from the world around us compared to the twilight, when objects appear blurred in the semi-darkness and our perception of the world naturally shifts, moving away from the familiar picture of reality. Take advantage of these benefits when mastering the techniques of stopping the internal monologue.

4. Three techniques of inner silence

The first technique is the most challenging yet the most effective. Let's call it «Strong-willed effort». In solitude, find a comfortable position that works best for you. This can be lying on your back or sitting with crossed legs. The posture should be as comfortable as possible so that you can sit for 15-30 minutes without needing to change it. If you are sitting, make sure your back has support and is straight.

An exercise to stop the inner monologue

Close your eyes and relax your body. If it doesn't work right away, just mentally observe your body, your hands, feet and the sensations in them. Then release all the sensations. Now concentrate on your thoughts and observe them flow (or inner monologue). You need to imagine yourself as if you are splitting into two consciousnesses. One consciousness continues to think and chatter as usual, commenting on everything that is happening. Especially in this moment, for example, such thoughts may come to mind: «I won't be able to sit in this position for long,» «What if the phone rings now, I'll have to answer it,» «What if I can't do it,» «This is a silly idea, it's better to go for dinner…» and so on.

The other part of your consciousness silently observes the monologue. When you realize that the monologue can flow on its own, without your participation, try to stop it with an act of will. All these exercises are actually easier than they seem, you just need to have the intention to do it.

So, you have managed to stop the flow of thoughts for a short period of time.

At first, it may only be for a few seconds, but even that is an achievement. Don't give up, continue to stop the internal stream of commentary, giving a clear command for your thoughts to quiet down. Gradually, with each attempt, increase the time without inner conversations. Your consciousness will like this simple exercise because it brings energy and a sense of strength and freedom on its own.

This technique can be practiced not only while sitting in a room but also while lying in a warm bath or taking a twilight walk in a park or garden, as long as there is no one else nearby. The best results are achieved in a forest, garden, or by the seaside, where there are no people or loud music. If this technique has helped you and you have learnt to turn off the internal monologue, you can proceed to the process of remembering past life.

The second technique is called «Counting»

If the first technique is difficult for you to perform or you are unable to turn off the inner monologue, try the second technique based on number counting. In time with your breathing, start counting to yourself from 1 to 20. If at least one extraneous thought comes in the process of counting (and at first it is quite possible), start counting again and so on until the result is achieved. Then you may increase the score to 50 or more. As a result, you will achieve a state of inner silence that does not require any effort to maintain it. The same method is used to enter a lucid dreaming, a state between sleep and reality, which can be called a trance.

The third technique. The Gait of Silence

There is one more technique for stopping an inner monologue. It is suitable for those who do not have silence and privacy at home. Let's call it «Dynamic Practice».

It is necessary to find a corner of nature near your home where there are no large crowds of people. As a rule, for small towns these are: parks, gardens, arboretums, fields on the outskirts of the city. And if there are a lot of people walking in the parks in the middle of the day, then in the late afternoon, at dusk, you can always find a quiet corner. For residents of large cities, this can be a problem, because there are a lot of visitors in public parks. Then there is only one option – to go out of town, to the river or to the mountains. Set a goal to find such a place and it will definitely be found.

When you find your special place (a «power spot»), walk slowly, with your eyes half closed. After some time, when you find a comfortable walking rhythm, cross your eyes to the bridge of your nose and continue walking. You can also touch the roof of your mouth with the tip of your tongue. Through all these unusual actions, the inner dialogue in your head may naturally come to a halt. In addition to this method, you can apply the first technique, effort of will, while walking. After a couple of such exercises in nature, you will notice that the duration of stopping the internal monologue increases. After the walk, you will feel cheerful and refreshed, as if the world has infused you with new energy.

Summary: by practicing one of these techniques, or by applying them all at once, sooner or later you will be able to learn how to stop the inner monologue. Someone needs only a couple of days to get a tangible result, someone will have a result in a week, and there are those who will have to practice during a month. If you have an unbending intent, sooner or later you will stop the voice in your head that is used to commenting on everything, because this is just a habit, and through these simple exercises, we are creating a new habit of inner silence to successfully focus on our set tasks.

Now your consciousness is ready to move further along the path of self-knowledge and look into the mystery of your past birth.

Chapter 2. The practice of past life memories

1. Keeping a diary

To record what you will see when viewing past lives, you need a diary.

After a few months, it will be useful to go back to your records and re-read them. What was unclear at first will later form a whole picture in your head. Therefore, it is necessary to record events, names and dates, but it is even better to describe in detail everything that you have seen and remembered.

Returning later to your diary entries, you will be able to get answers about the purpose of your life, your destination, how to make the right choice and which way to go to achieve happiness and wealth in all its senses.

How to keep a diary?

All our actions, beginning with stopping the inner monologue and ending with recording the memories of past lives viewed, must be treated with impeccability. Any business can be done by half or haphazardly and then there will be no result. You can make an effort and perform your actions perfectly, that is, use one hundred percent of the available force. But there is another approach to solving any problem – to act not by fifty or one hundred percent, but by a thousand percent, that is, to constantly surpass oneself. This is called the impeccable action. Then the result is guaranteed.

So, we will also approach the keeping a diary with impeccability. If you are busy at work or involved in personal problems, then there is always a desire to do everything in a hurry and not pay attention to details. But in this case the magic is lost, and you again do everything in your life the way you did before: according to a habit.

However, what you have at the moment is the result of your actions in the past.

If you still haven't remembered your past lives, it means that you have not acted impeccably, thus not having the right result of your actions. Now you need to explore a new approach. It will be possible to use it not only for meditation or memories of a past life, but also in any business, starting with relationships with people, ending with a career in society. It is necessary to see more opportunities than you have seen before, this is what gives impeccable attention. In fact, there are always various opportunities around us, the main thing is not to pass them by being inattentive.

How to find your diary for entries

To find your diary, browse through the stores and take in your hands a few copybooks or notepads. Whether they are expensive or cheap doesn't matter; what's important is that the copybook should appeal to you and evoke pleasant feelings. When you feel that it's the right copybook (notepad) for you, and you enjoy holding it in your hands, go ahead and confidently make the purchase.

When memories should be recorded

It is necessary to write down memories immediately after the session, because after fifteen to thirty minutes some of the memories are lost. What is the reason for this? This happens because your consciousness, plunging into a past life, metaphorically speaking, works at a different speed, perceiving pictures of the world much faster. This is also the case with a dream: you wake up, remember your dream in details, but after an hour or two only general impression remains of it. This means that you are short of the speed of perception. Therefore, it is better to write down everything in hot pursuit.

How to keep a diary

Keeping a diary is a simple matter: write down the date and then describe what you have seen during the session. Write nicely and legibly to be able to easily re-read what you have written. Your diary should not resemble lectures recorded by a negligent student saving notebook sheets. When your diary is over, buy another notebook and keep writing. Sometimes the liaisons between events becomes visible only after six months or even more.

We are often asked if it is possible to share memories of past lives with family and loved ones? If there is a person in your inner circle who is able to take your stories seriously and without criticism, it is quite possible to tell what you think is necessary.

In fact, practice shows that if such understanding people are around, sooner or later they will join you in searches of the main questions and answers of their life, and will begin to apply techniques of recalling past lives.

To walk along the spiritual path in a couple with your beloved one is the greatest happiness, besides, it may turn out that in this life you live together for a reason. Then telling each other about your past lives will help you to better understand the long-ago events and their effect on this life and on the attitude towards your beloved ones. Sometimes the effect of such memories is similar to the situation when a blind person starts to see light. Even not very joyful events of past lives will lead you to an understanding of the problems of the current life.

And, as you know, understanding the problem is already fifty percent of its solution!

Warning

Don't talk about your unique experience with people who are skeptical about the possibility of past lives. Distrust and mockeries, with which people shower everything unknown and incomprehensible, can lead to unnecessary conflicts. Remember the tragic story of Copernicus! History clearly shows that there have always been people telling the truth ahead of their time, which only descendants could appreciate. But society did not always welcomed the great prophets.

Someday, society will be ready to embrace the ideas and practices of past life experiences and will seriously consider the therapeutic potential of this practice on human consciousness from a medical and scientific standpoint. But until those fortunate times arrive, try to avoid unnecessary conflict with those who do not believe in reincarnation.

2. Blocks in consciousness and ways to eliminate them

Possible blocks and their elimination

There is one more point that needs to be clarified before getting started to the technique of recalling past lives. These are the main questions that beginners ask themselves.

Will I be able to do it?

Will I be able to recall anything at all?

Are these exercises dangerous?

Should a person delve into their own subconscious?

Do these practices violate divine or universal laws?

Will there be any punishment for attempting to uncover those layers of knowledge that are not supposed to be touched?

How dangerous is immersion into trance, what if I get stuck there forever?

Such concerns and questions can arise quite frequently. Fear is bred by thought patterns instilled in us by society from childhood. Often, people don't trust themselves, their own thoughts, feelings, or the impulses of their souls. All of this creates unnecessary blocks in consciousness that only slow down the process of recalling past lives. If you don't have such questions and you are confident in yourself or have already engaged in practices of remembrance and meditation, you can confidently skip the text below and proceed directly to mastering the unique techniques provided in this course.

If you still have doubts, then read the lines below, which are dedicated to myths about past lives and their debunking in the form of frequently asked questions and answers.

Attention! If you are a deeply religious person and the very idea of interfering in the «Divine Providence» offends you, we strongly recommend that you refuse to take this course.

3. Myths about past lives

Let's analyze myths and fictions about past lives in the form of questions and answers. We collected and wrote down these questions while dealing with recollection of past lives in the spiritual self-development group.

Question: I won't be able to remember my past lives, because I am a common person, I am not a medium and I do not have special talents. It will take me many years of practice to recall.

Answer: Each person keeps memories of past lives in the depths of their subconscious, it is only necessary to find a way to them. You don't need to be someone special, you just need to have an unbending intent. Everything is actually much simpler than it seems. Pictures of past life usually appear already at the first session of recalling, if you follow the instructions of this course exactly.

Question: Interference in the subconscious of a person is dangerous, since it is not given to us from birth. If we learn something forbidden, we will violate the will of God or the universe.

Answer: Not everything is given to us from birth, we learn a lot by repeating the actions of our parents. If our parents remembered past lives, they would have taught us this, as they taught us to walk, talk, read, etc. In society, little attention is paid to such issues, and therefore the very idea of previous lives seems fantastic.

But now the time has come – this is called spiritual progress. If the universe were against it, no one would never ever remember past lives, but there are tens of thousands who remembered, this number includes the authors of this course.

Question: Trance and deep meditation are a dangerous game with our subconscious, we may go crazy and not return to reality.

Answer: By immersing themselves in a light trance, people remember where they are, who they are and what they are doing at the moment. They can easily return to reality if the session needs to be abruptly terminated. During our course, any sharp deviations that threaten mental health are completely excluded, because you control the whole process yourself.

People in everyday life often deal with more than one reality at one and the same time. Have you ever, for example, written an essay or prepared a term paper while listening to loud music or watching a series on TV? Doing that, you perceive three realities at the same time.

The first reality: you are trailing the content of your work that you're thinking about. For example, you are immersed in the history of France, envisioning the kings of the 17th century. The second: your thoughts about yourself. Perhaps in that moment, you're thinking about how great it would be to quickly finish your work and go out with friends. And finally, the third reality: it's the movie playing on the TV, which you hear in the background and can even follow the events happening on the screen. This is a simple example where a person's consciousness perceives three different worlds without experiencing any imbalance.

Remember: every night you transfer your perception into a dream reality, which is characterized by a shift of perception much deeper than trance, but at the same time you easily return to your real life every morning. There exist protective mechanisms in the human body that do not allow you to move deeply into other realities and stay there forever. Our consciousness, like a ball on an elastic band (Yoyo ball), always returns to its original state. Nevertheless, the authors of this book do not advise people with mental disabilities or those who are in a prolonged depression to study this course.

Question: If I see my past deaths, I will experience incredible suffering.

Answer: This is a very persistent block in consciousness, but it easily dissipates in practice. We all died and were reborn many times on Earth, and some people on other planets. Our spirit remembers that we are eternal beings, and therefore the fear of death dissipates. Reviewing past lives can cause a slight sadness, as it happens at the end of a melodrama movie, but it should not seriously affect your feelings. At the end of the course, we give some techniques to weaken the effect of negative factors which may arise when recalling past lives.

If you have read all these detailed answers but still hesitate, start your amazing journey into the past with reviewing your childhood first. Having mastered the techniques of memories, you will be able at first to slip through the time tape into the past of your current life and remember its main moments and important events. Then, after making sure that nothing dangerous is happening to you, feel free to move on to recalling past lives.

 4. Shamanic Practice «The Cave»

Northern shamans enter into a trance in order to communicate with spirit helpers in the Middle World, which is the world of humans on Earth. In their practice and meditations, they pursue different objectives not related to past lives. However, this same practice can be effectively used for recalling past lives or reviewing events from your childhood.

Where to start

To begin a session, you will need solitude, meditative music, and initial skills in turning off the internal monologue. In the first session, there is no need to set grand objectives or pre-compose a list of many questions (more on that will be discussed in the next chapter). It will be enough to focus on mastering the technique and achieving results. If you don't succeed the first time, don't be discouraged. Remember, you didn’t learn to read and walk at once, it occurred only after you made significant efforts. The same principle applies here: the more you practice, the better the results will be. However, typically, most individuals at once enter into the recollection of their past lives.

So, plan viewing a certain past life. This may be the previous life before the current one, the first on Earth, or the most significant one. Give a task to your subconscious. Get ready to see pictures from another life and remember as much as possible from what you will see.

Practice

Suppose you have chosen the previous life before the current one, and are ready to plunge into a light trance. Now take a comfortable position, sitting or lying (your back should have support). If it's noisy around, put on headphones with meditative music, but do not turn it on too loudly. You may use a recording of a shamanic tambourine.

You should sit or lie in a comfortable position. Shamans use the «non–doing» during practice; that is, they put on some unusual clothes to show the spirit that they are in an altered state of consciousness. For the first session, you can also put, for example, a bandana on your head. Any unusual action helps the attention to concentrate, which generally facilitates the practice. But you can dispense with it. It's also good to use crystals that you can hold in your hand while traveling into the past.

Entering the shaman's cave

Close your eyes and listen to the music or the silence around you. Stop the inner monologue. At this moment, you should neither think about everyday things nor mentally comment on anything that is happening. Now imagine a cave in the mountain. It may be a real cave that you've seen before, or one made-up by yourself; this does not matter. The cave is a secret entrance to your subconscious. If you see only one cave, then you have managed to open one entrance so far, but it may turn out that there will be several caves in front of you, each of which leads to a past life. This implies that your subconscious mind offers you a choice.

Look around: What do you see? What does the place where your cave is located look like? Look up at the sky, and then look down. What is around? Is it day or night outside? It may be a forest, a desert, or even a city around you. Afterwards, you will always use this entry point. You should be cozy and comfortable In this place, and you also should understand that it is absolutely safe here, only you are in this space. No outsider may appear here without your consent. Shamans in their practices call for helpers, spirits of trees or animals with whom they got acquainted before, but this is not necessary to view past lives. Your higher Self, your spirit, is quite capable of independently penetrating into the secrets of previous births.

Now pay attention to the cave itself and consider it in more detail: it is narrow or wide, what its edges look like, and if there are any other caves nearby. If there are several of them, choose the one you like the most and enter this cave. If it is narrow, maybe you will have to crawl inside on your knees instead of walking; this does not matter. Move forward, examining the cave itself at the same time. Inside, it can be a narrow manhole or a very wide one equipped with stairs. Farther, there may be anything at all: an elevator, a modern room, a long corridor, even a metro station. In any case, it will be an i of space, a road along which you will enter another world.

While passing through the cave, announce mentally your goal once again: «I intend to see my last past life.» Now look for an exit from the cave leading to another world. Usually it looks like a light-color tunnel or an opening to the outside. Pass through it.

You got into the memory of your past life

Take your time, look around: you will see a certain landscape. It could be anything: a forest, a city, mountains with a lake, a street in a metropolis, a ship at sea, and so on. If you see a city or a forest in the distance, head towards it. You can walk there, or you can fly since you are a light spirit. If it's a forest, follow the path, your subconscious will tell you where to go. Once in a place, you will see the figure of a person, it will stand out among others, if there are several of them. You may not see a face right away, but some details will come into view, such as hair, clothing, or a vehicle (car, ship or horse). Try to remember as many details as possible.

If something distracts you during the session or an unnecessary stream of thoughts appears, try by an effort of will to return to the place where you have met your last incarnation.

The first acquaintance

The first thing to do is to ask the question, «What is your name and who are you?» Often, you will only hear the name without a surname or you may not even understand in which language your past incarnation is speaking. This is a normal process, and you can obtain more specific information in subsequent sessions. If you don't receive an answer, try to consider the person's face, and transforming into a weightless spirit penetrate the head of this character.

Now ask the same question while being inside your avatar. Here, the answer may not come in words but as immediate knowledge. Once you learn the name, inquire about the person's occupation, the city they live in, and the time period they exist in. The answers may not come right away, but you will be able to look at the surroundings through the eyes of your past incarnation and identify the location. For example, the appearance of the buildings can indicate that it is a city in Europe from a past century.

Reviewing significant moments of a past life

Now that you have become acquainted, you can ask to be shown the most significant moments of your life. Mental is will begin unfolding before you. Do not be frightened or exit the session. Remember firmly who you are now and no matter what your memory reveals, all of that has long passed. Significant moments may include birth, death, the passing of loved ones, encounters with beloved ones, entering an educational institution, the birth of children, emotional events at work, and so on.

Returning

For the first time, it is enough to review a few of such moments. If you feel tired or have the desire to return, leave the area and make your way back to the entrance of the cave. The return journey may take significantly less time than the appearance, and this is normal.

You will find that you are not walking along a path but flying through the air or suddenly find yourself near the entrance of the cave. Now, make your way back, enter the cave, and move towards the exit leading back to your world. When you successfully exit the cave and see the exact spot where your journey began, conclude the session, open your eyes, and turn off the music.

You may be overwhelmed by the emotions of what you have seen, or you might be shocked by the realization that it is all true and that you can easily see your past life. Grab a pen and write down in detail everything you have seen and felt. It's important to write down even the smallest details. Keep your diary nearby, so you can record everything you have seen in hot pursuit.

After the session

After the session, you may experience doubts about the experiences and pictures of your past lives. Thoughts may arise that all this is fiction, fantasy. However, believe that in a trance state, even a light one, with the internal monologue turned off, a person can hardly be subject to pleasant fantasies. There is a high probability that you may see a life that is not joyful and certainly not what you expected in your rosy fantasies.

This happens because we all come to learn and evolve on this planet. Earth is our training ground, and it is through struggles and battles that we refine the strength of our spirits, so there are no completely easy and happy lives. Perhaps you will see death in a past life, which will be solid evidence that this is not mere fantasy.

Further sessions will be very beneficial: you will be able to see defining moments of your past life that have partially shaped your current personality, its issues, and diseases. For example, you will understand why your left leg often aches inexplicably (you have seen that in a past life you fell off a horse and injured your leg, which left a psychological trauma on your soul). Or you will understand why you have conflicts with your relatives (for instance, your brother in a past life was connected to you, and you treated him too harshly).

Although we have a different body in this life, we carry a certain emotional imprint of problems and pains from our past life. Read examples of such stories in the second part of the book «Conversations with Quetzalcoatl». You can recognize certain people who appear alongside you from life to life and are your kindred spirits, members of the same spiritual family.

5. Utilizing the practice of «Shamanic Cave» to view the childhood and youth of your current life.

Before diving into the past life, you can practice on remembering childhood and make a journey to the beginning of your life. The method is the same. You halt the inner monologue, imagine a cave and ask your subconscious to show yourself at the institute, then at school; at the age of fifteen, twelve, ten, and so on, until the very moment of birth and being in the womb. Many people, using similar practices or hypnosis, remembered what their maternity hospital looked like, felt how it was to be in the womb.

Sometimes some problems of your life that appeared in childhood (especially as a result of mental trauma) can be detected and solved with the help of this practice. You can talk to your «inner child», that is, with yourself as a child, and understand how insignificant the fears and resentments of that age were. If you have such psychological problems, then go through the «cave» to your childhood; look with adult eyes and forgive those who have offended you; embrace your inner child, fill him with light and love and say: «I forgive and let you go.» After this session, you will find it significantly easier to go through life.

It is these techniques that psychologists and regression therapists use, only they bring a lot of personal nuances into these sessions and lead you according to a predetermined scheme. You are able to solve all your problems by yourself, the main thing is to see them. After having made a trip through the ribbon of time to your childhood, describe it in a diary and observe yourself: you will notice how your feelings and some reactions will change. This leads usually to the softening of pain and sorrow, reviewing relationships with your loved ones and refilling with new strength.

Summary of the «Shamanic Cave» practice (use for re-entry)

Sit comfortably, halt your internal monologue.

Imagine a cliff with a cave, look around paying attention to the details around you.

Choose a cave and enter it.

Traverse through the cave and find the exit that leads to a past life. Explore the surroundings, move towards the goal that emerges before you (a city, some place in the forest, a seaside, etc.).

Look for a person whom you will instantly recognize.

Have a conversation with this person, ask for their name, the name of the city, and their occupation.

Ask the person to show you the most significant moments in the life (birth, wedding, death, etc.).

Thank your subconscious for the work it has done and return back through the cave.

After concluding the session, immediately write down everything you remember (the appearance of the place, the person's clothing, record any dialogues with them, and especially note down any names or h2s you heard). You can then search the internet to see if there is any information about this person or the time period they belong to.

6. List of questions to ask during the session

The process of remembering past lives can be very captivating and emotional. More accurately, this evokes profound feelings rather than surface-level emotions. It can bring about joy (for instance, realizing that your chosen one is a soul mate) or sadness. It can also create a sense of lightness and liberation from heavy emotions that earlier have hindered you to live and develop.

In addition, the process should also be informative, that is, answer the questions you have asked. Sometimes, at the moment of viewing a past life, you may forget what exactly you wanted to know, so we recommend that you think about a number of questions in advance. You may ask these questions to your past incarnations (you may consider the whole process as a conversation with your subconscious), or to people who were somehow connected with you in the past (here, the practice called «Pyramid of Light» will be used; see below).

To help you in the process of recalling past lives (on the base of the experience of different people recalling their lives), we have prepared in this course some questions that should be asked while reviewing your past lives. They are formulated according to their significance. You may also add your questions to the list, based on the history of your past life.

A general question that should be asked first. (This is not even a question, but an insistent appeal to the memory of your subconscious).

«I ask to show me the most significant moments of my past life.»

Prepare yourself, it may be the death of your previous body, birth, studying at school or university, meeting a loved one, and so on. Unfortunately, tragic events are often the most remembered, so the initial impression of a past life may be somewhat sorrowful. However, be open to see both pleasant and less pleasant moments. You can read examples of past life memories in the second part of the book «Conversations with Quetzalcoatl».

The second question.

A very important informational question to ask secondly is, «What is your name, what is your surname?» Experience shows that the name is often easily remembered, even from the first or second session. However, when it comes to surnames, there may be blocks in your subconscious that prevent recall, especially if the person was well-known in history. Sometimes, the surname of the individual can be deduced from their name and the timeframe if they left a mark in history.

The third question.

Based on the second question, we proceed directly to the third: «Time and place.» We ask to be shown the city or location where the person lived. Often, the name of the place naturally emerges or can be deduced from the clothing of the people you see. Additionally, the architectural style of the buildings can provide a rough indication of the time period, century, and birth years.

Next question: we ask to be shown the house where the avatar lived.

You can thoroughly explore the house, examine the rooms, furniture, belongings, and also observe the surrounding area or street.

During one session, it is worthwhile to ask a question about your relatives in a past life. For example: «Who were my parents, spouse, children, brothers and sisters.» It may turn out that you will recognize some of them in your current life. For example, your son in your past life may now be your nephew.

This means that you are looking for your real family, consisting of kindred spirits who have been incarnating together for a long time. Such kindred souls support you, help you to solve the tasks assigned for this incarnation. All this in general helps you to understand the role of those people who are now in your proximity, to stop being offended by them, not demanding what they are not capable of to do, to pay more attention to them. You should also forgive those who act unfairly towards you. It is likely that you yourself, even before you were born, asked these people to treat yourself in a certain way in order to solve the problems of your life. All these examples will be discussed in more detail in the second part of the book: «Conversations with Quetzalcoatl».

There is another question that should be asked.

The matter is about your professional skills in a past life, about experience received in a certain sphere. The question sounds like this: «What was my profession?»

By observing different people, you may notice that some people are born already having certain skills. Someone easily masters music or painting, someone immediately directs their interest to science, and some have a distinct inclination, for example, to driving a car or controlling aircraft (ship, motorcycle, etc.). There is a clear feeling that a person is already familiar with a certain activity and knows a lot in this area. You may find the answer in your past incarnations.

Perhaps you have already been a doctor, a warrior, an artist, a poet, a banker, a teacher, a dressmaker, a cook, a skilled rider, a hunter or an inventor. In this life, you continue to hone your skills and abilities.

Hybrid souls

Going a bit ahead, during the session of remembrance, you can ask your subconscious to show you your first life on planet Earth. Additionally, you can ask a very important question: «Did I have any incarnations before life on planet Earth?»

If you see, even hazily and vaguely, is of aliens, it means that you are a hybrid soul. In such a way, Michael Newton called those whose souls and bodies were originally created elsewhere and not on Earth (see his book «Destiny of Souls»).

Hybrid souls are those who were born in other worlds before. This means that your life is special, that you are somewhat different from those who were born on this planet for the first time. And of course, this promises a very interesting journey not only to the past on Earth, but also to completely different worlds where you had been born before you came here. What is the difference between hybrid souls and earthly ones, you may also read in the second part of this book, «Conversations with Quetzalcoatl».

There is another important question that should be asked to your past incarnations in order to better understand the tasks of your current life. The question sounds like this: «What was my destination? What should I learn in this incarnation, what lessons should I get?»

Ask this question to all of your past avatars. If you came to learn something, overcome your fears, or work on certain character traits as far back as in your past life, it is highly likely that the trace of this spiritual work on yourself is retained in this life as well. To understand yourself, you need to first know the tasks of your past incarnation, as they may fully transfer into this life if they were not resolved earlier. Try to write down the received answers as accurately as possible in your diary.

There is also an opportunity to find out the causes of diseases in this life by means of examining past lives, especially if these pains have no obvious causes. So, ask your past incarnations: «Why do I have pain in… (state your issue)?» Understanding and forgiving yourself, as well as letting go of unnecessary karma, can be the first step towards healing.

If my actions in a past life may have negatively impacted the lives of others, can I compensate for it in this life? It is true that some people exhibit aggression and violence towards others. Unfortunately, it is inherent in human nature, as our minds often compete with those around us and sometimes push to extremes. This raises the question: if a person applied unjustified violence and caused harm to others in a past life, how does it affect their present life? The experience of viewing a past life shows that this greatly affects the present life.

When the soul is in the space between lives, in the spiritual realm, it plans its next life in order to learn the necessary lessons. Often, these lessons involve understanding the suffering of others, which means that the person themselves experiences the same violence and aggression that they previously inflicted on others.

It is not a law of retribution, punishment, or the anger of the gods. It is a necessary correction of the soul, planned by the individual themselves. Therefore, it is beneficial to perform acts of kindness and make it easier to fulfill the tasks planned before birth. In any case, your good deeds will only bring relief.

If you continue to persist and, like in a past life, use violence and aggression towards others, then it is likely that you will dig a hole for yourself, fall into it, and experience all the «delights» of karma in this very life. Lessons are given for us to learn, not to run away from them. In school, you could escape from a boring lesson and then catch up with other students by reading the textbook. But in spiritual life, you cannot escape from lessons.

Summary. 10 questions to your past lives

1. I ask to be shown the most significant moments of my past life.

2. What is my name, my surname?

3. The time and place of my previous birth.

4. What my house looked like?

5. Who were my parents, my spouse, my children, my brothers and sisters?

6. Who I was by profession?

7. Have I had any incarnations before living on the planet Earth?

8. What was my purpose? What I learned in that incarnation, what lessons I got?

9. Why does something hurt me, what is the cause of my illness or weakness?

10. How to compensate in this life for the evil that I did to people in a past life?

In addition to these questions, you will ask many other questions when you begin to explore the details of past incarnations, and this is good and beneficial. Develop your inner vision, examine the details of the surroundings or landscapes, remember dates and names. All of this, along with understanding the soul's purpose, life goals and tasks, will further become a spiritual map of your soul. And as it is known, the value of maps lies in leading to treasures! Even if you don't find a literal treasure (although it is possible in shamanic practices!), you will understand who you are, who you were, and where you are heading. This will provide you with support in life, strength, and tranquility.

And the most important thing: knowing the path and its ultimate goal, it is always easy to find opportunities to achieve it. The main problem of people in modern society is that they do not know what the purpose of their life is, where they should go and how to make the right choice. They do not live a full life, but only survive, not dreaming of more.

Viewing past lives provides many with an understanding of the right guidelines and fills their life with meaning. And a person who has a purpose and unbending intent can overcome much, even what may seem initially beyond their capabilities.

7. The practice of «Journey to the Upper World»

If during the course exercises you have encountered unusual landscapes (not existing in this world), encountered non-human beings (even mythical ones), or had dreams of fantastical cities or other planets, it may indicate that you have a hybrid soul.

Hybrid souls had been incarnated in other worlds before being born on planet Earth. What these worlds look like and how similar they are to our planet are beyond the scope of this course. (You may find information about these worlds in the second part of the book, «Conversations with Quetzalcoatl»).

Even if you don't have any signs of a hybrid soul, you should still try another shamanic practice called «Journey to the Upper World».

What is the shamanic Upper World

In the shamanic tradition, the Upper World is the sky, cosmos, stars, and the highest spiritual realm. In many religious and mystical systems, there is a belief that the heavens serve as the dwelling place for higher spiritual beings. These beings are described as airy, transparent, pure, radiant, and angelic, and they help us, looking with sympathy at the Middle World, the world of humans. For a long time, these accounts were often perceived as fairy tales, comforting fantasies, or invented worlds. However, there are people who firmly believe that someone is «watching over» them from the heavens. It may be an individual guide, a deceased (disincarnate) relative, or a higher being.

In Michael Newton's book «Destiny of Souls» such entities are called spirit guides. They are souls of ordinary people, but more spiritually developed than their charges, somewhat like spiritual teachers. The question arises: if so many people believe in this, could it be true? A big advantage of this course is that you can independently seek answers to these questions through the practice of «Journey to the Upper World».

Beforehand, you traveled only on Earth, going to different times and searching for your past incarnations there. Now you are faced with the task of finding your spiritual helpers in space among the stars, and if you are a hybrid soul, recognizing your past incarnations on other planets. The task may seem difficult, but in practice it is much easier to master than even the practice of the «Cave», because you have already accumulated the needed experience

Warning

When starting a spiritual journey to the Upper World (or to the fifth dimension, whichever you prefer), be ready to give up some of your template ideas, especially about paradise, God, angels and aliens from other worlds. In practice, everything turns out to be somewhat different. If nevertheless, on a spiritual journey, you have seen something similar to pictures from movies or from the Bible, then you should ask your subconscious whether this is a convenient imagination game instead.

Trance is easily distinguished from a dream or imagination by some signs:

– You see far from what you wanted or what you like.

– In trance, you perceive new information, which means you see unexpected or even unbelievable is.

– In trance, events unfold on their own, and you rarely have control over them, whereas simple fantasy is easily controlled by your will.

– You experience the seen events more deeply, at the level of emotions.

– You will hear constructive criticism of your actions and behavior.

In other words, it is rare for a situation to arise where a person, instead of engaging in a spiritual journey session, indulges in their own dreams. For example, if you have always believed that you are a distant ancestor of great magicians from Atlantis and, closing your eyes, imagined that you were indeed an Atlantean, it may just be your fantasy. It should be emphasized once again that past lives and journeys to the Upper World are not similar to your ideas about them. However, it is not impossible that you were a magician from Atlantis. Anything is possible in this life.

In the Upper World, you will encounter higher beings, those who can freely travel through space and fly among the stars. However, this does not mean that your souls are worse in any way, or that the beings you meet surpass you and are gods. Yes, they may be more spiritually advanced, but it is not a reason for humiliation. Nobody will criticize you for being, for example, in third grade while your brother is in tenth grade. It is the same here: more advanced beings on the path of spiritual development will be willing to come into contact with you and share knowledge or show you your lives on other planets, but no one will reproach you for your current path.

And the last parting words before the start of practice

In the vast and infinite cosmos, there is no concept of a god, at least not as we perceive it on Earth. There are beings who are practically eternal and all-powerful compared to humans, but even they are mortal and have come into this world to learn. So, show respect when encountering someone great, but do not worship or idolize them.

In the books of Michael Newton and other authors who explore past lives, there is no one who has encountered a fearsome god in the spiritual realm. The main question that everyone preparing for a journey to the Upper World asks is: Does God exist after all? What gives rise to life is described by numerous people in trance as a source of incredible power and light, which Michael Newton refers to as «the Source». In reality, this force has not been fully studied or described, so whether you will approach it in your spiritual quest or not is entirely your choice. Initially, it is necessary to address your personal issues and bring your life into order before seeking the brightest light in the Universe.

All of this was said to make you aware that your perceptions of the world is somewhat different from the world itself. The templates by which we act and think restrict our power and prevent us from seeing the right path clearly. When embarking on a journey to the Upper Shamanic World, be prepared to discard the template-like notions of yourself and life as a whole. New worlds, governed by different laws, await you in your spiritual journey.

The practice of «Journey to the Upper World»

Preparation for the practice is as follows: allocate some time for a walk in nature. This is necessary to choose a helper tree. Walk through a park (garden, alley, forest) and observe the trees. If you are drawn to a particular tree, touch it and mentally ask if it will be your helper. For the practice of journeying to the Upper World, such a helper is necessary, although later you will learn about the technique of the «Pyramid of Light», where you can directly enter the fifth dimension by constructing your own pyramid there.

When you find a tree and receive a mental confirmation of its willingness, try to remember the i of the entire tree, not just individual branches and leaves.

Now let's proceed to the practice itself

In solitude, turn off your internal dialogue and imagine a green meadow where your tree is growing. Whether it is day or night, your consciousness will prompt you. Observe the tree as a whole and in detail, then approach the tree and embrace it. Merge with its trunk and mentally become one with the tree. Your tree begins to grow and expand in size.

There it is, towering above the other trees and houses, surpassing the mountains, reaching into the clouds… Don't stop, continue growing! You need to enlarge the tree until its branches are among the stars in space. At the same time, its roots remain firmly grounded in the Earth, and you can always return back thanks to these roots.

Now detach yourself from the tree and feel yourself in the vastness of space. Here, there are no clouds or atmosphere, but beautiful large stars surround you. Observe the constellations, the Milky Way, and the nebulae. The cosmos is infinite and magnificent, it should not scare you with its airless expanse and coldness because you are in your energetic body, not in the physical one. You feel very well, and you can freely fly among the stars
