Past Life Memory Bank

    Merry Meet Again. As shocking as this may be to some, there are more people on this planet who believe in reincarnation than there are those who do not believe in it. If you are wondering whether you have lived before, or have a strong suspicion that you have, the Past Life Memory Bank is a great place to begin your journey into yourself.
    As always, my heartfelt thanks go to all of you who have so generously shared your memories with the world. The Memory Bank has become a valuable resource for writers, film makers, and other creative people whose works deal with reincarnation. Your memories continue to inspire them. - Eileen Holland

    This is an e-list is for readers and contributors to the Past Life Memory Bank, and for anyone else who enjoys discussing reincarnation. Please be welcome to subscribe, and to seek your answers and connections here. I'd like to encourage readers to make use of this list. It isn't possible for me to correspond with readers, or to provide e-mail links. People sometimes write to me because they think they recognize someone here from a past life, but I cannot help them because I don't keep records of e-mail addresses. So please, use the list to communicate with one another.

If you would like to share or record your past life memories, send them to me. Make the subject PAST LIVES (be sure to do that, or my browser may think that your letter is junk mail and I will not get it.).
   Memories that don't ring true, such as those with historical inaccuracies gross enough for me to catch, will not be posted. Listings that take too long to edit (spelling, grammar, etc.) cannot be posted because of time constraints. I have also heard from too many Gueneveres, Cleopatras, Marie Antoinettes, etc. to post memories from people who think they were historical figures. I know you're sincere, but you can also see my dilemma.
    If you use this e-mail link to write to me about anything else, please note that it often takes me several months to read most of my mail. I am not a psychic or an expert on past life work, and I cannot interpret your dreams. I do not keep people's e-mails, or keep record of their addresses, so I cannot help you to get in touch with someone whose memory intrigues you. Please use the e-list for that.

Are all these memories actual past lives?
    Perhaps. Some of them certainly are, as you can feel the truth in them. The cynic in me tends to doubt the romantic memories, but that could just be me.

  hey, always been interested in past live memories. i'm a classical guitarist that has a masters degree in prac and historical classical guitar.
when i play i can remember intricate sections of music based on color association. that's this life.
    so i have doubts when it comes to images or strong feelings i have of eras gone. but i have alway had some interesting occurances in my life that i'm not sure what they mean. when i saw your site i browsed and found some similarities between my past life stuff and other peoples. are there some periods of time where the impressions are particulary strong, because i can't explain why i have much of the same types of magnatism to certain eras as many do. because there are alot of people around, now and back then, but alot of it overlaps, interms of cultures eras and society type scenarios.are we all reincarnated, or do some of the energys from certain eras, serve to guide us in this time. i.e it would be a hap hazard world if only the people living were incharge of the running of society. therefore it's probibly reasonable to assume that past lessons learnt would serve to help hummanity. this is my only answer to my obsession to the past in terms of chance third party occurance, and also subjective interpretations.
    so in summuray: is it us that are reincarnated, or do more than one channel the energy of those who have gone before us? or sceptically, do we all just get it from the media?

    Hi, I found your website, and I am thankful for providing this service. If you're not busy I would be grateful if you can read my story regarding my slight curiosity concerning my past life. Some background about me might help. I'm 17, female, Japanese. I was born in Tokyo and moved to Bali, Indonesia when I was 4. I've always loved the beautiful natural environments and wildlife here, especially the birds.
    Here's my story. I didn't believe in reincarnations, until about a week ago when something clicked in my head and I remembered that I've always had images of Earth destruction since I was very little. I don't even know when I began seeing those images and having sad feelings about the Earth, but I've always loved our planet and grieved about humans destroying it gradually. These feelings were especially strong when I was around 9 to 13 years old, I cried so much every night seeing and thinking about forests on fire, oil from tanks killing seabirds, poachers shooting tigers, endangered birds being trapped for illegal trade . . . everything. I know that our species is destructive only because we're sophisticated and successful as a species, so I don't blame humans . . . But I've always been sad about it.
     Yes, the other thing that makes me think I had a past life is that I'm a generally sad person. I assumed that I was simply born as a person who is almost constantly feeling blue. I DO have times when I'm content or hyper, but I am always conscious of the mysterious and melancholy feelings somewhere inside. I keep thinking, maybe I am a reincarnation of somebody quiet and insignificant who had something to do with the Earth, and had a tragic life. I know it won't really affect my current life, but I still wish to know what kind of person I really was, and when I had been alive. One thing I'm pretty sure about: I wasn't of any historically significant figure.
Thank you, I appreciate your help! - Sincerely Yours, Yui
