Jessie begins by reading accounts of past lives and reincarnation. Some suggest that past lives are experienced in sequence, while others, including Vagrein, imply that all lives are experienced simultaneously. The speaker asks if both views are accurate and requests further insight.
Explanation on the Nature of Time and Reincarnation:
The response indicates that both interpretations are, in a sense, correct. From the perspective of linear time, one perceives past lives as being in the past and future lives as being in the future. However, from a metaphysical or non-physical viewpoint, all experiences, including past lives, occur in the present moment.
When one accesses a memory of a past life or interacts with someone else, they are engaging with another version of themselves in the present moment. The person one argues with, for example, is not separate from oneself but is another incarnation of the same soul, experienced simultaneously. All past lives, memories, and imaginations are occurring now, as there is only the present moment in this broader perception of time.
Conclusion
Both the sequential and simultaneous experiences of lives can be seen as valid, depending on the perspective—whether it is from within the linearity of time or from a more expansive metaphysical viewpoint where all moments exist simultaneously.
