Let’s Understand Past Life Many people assume that the problems of a current life have a direct causal relationship from the last life lived. Not necessarily so. Our most immediate past life may have been in the early 20 th century, for instance, but certain issues and challenges we’re facing now may have had their genesis in a life lived in Medieval Europe, for example. One theory – and a fascinating and intriguing one at that - holds that far from being frozen in a linear sequence of time, our past lives are actually occurring simultaneously, and it’s only our belief system that the past is frozen and unalterable that keeps us from realizing that, at an unconscious level, we are communicating with our past (and maybe even future) selves all of the time. In almost every instance, issues and challenges which, had their genesis in a past life, only reared their ugly head in response to a particular triggering event or situation. This is often the case. An issue generated from a past life may not manifest in the current life until the approximate age the initiating event happened in that past life or a situation that, in some way, parallels or is suggestive of the initiating event in the past life.
