DiscoveringTruth
Padawan Learner
I have been seeking a satisfactory explanation for why we are unable to remember our past lives but have been unable to find one. If the universe is one big school and all there is are lessons, then why don't we remember what we learnt in a previous life? Why don't we have the benefit of drawing from a reserve of past experiences/lessons to take better decisions in our present? To be born without any knowledge of our past seems to defeat the purpose of learning, if one assumes that learning is the primary goal of existence. I may be able to avoid making the same mistakes in this life that I made in a past life if I remembered them.
Practically it would be strange to know that you lived in such and such place/time/family earlier but then if that is the objective truth, that one has had previous lives, why not remember crucial lessons that can help me grow faster? I could perhaps carry over my math education from a previous life into the next and progress faster but instead I have to die and forget and do it all over from scratch - all without a clue. I find it extremely strange that reincarnation imposes this amnesia on 3D beings. I don't know if the 4D beings face the same restriction or not or if this is not natural in existence and has been artificially introduced into human beings or because humans needed to learn the lessons "the hard way" for being service to self oriented.
