You can believe what you wish. However, I will say a main argument of skeptics against 'past lives' is that more than one person could not have the same past life of a historical figure. I believe that viewpoint can be explained by the concept of "imprinting", introduced by Delores Cannon:
Quote:The chapter entitled imprinting presents a totally new concept for me. Imprinting is withdrawing information about the past life experiences of others and having this information imprinted on ones soul. The imprint would feel as though one had actually experienced the life in question. These fake past life experiences provide the person with a point of reference, something to relate to. The regressed subject states if one were to come to this planet without the aid of imprints, we would be totally lost.
I agree with this description with the exception that I don't agree the past life experience is 'fake'. The past life was real and is indiscernible from a past life that you actually had.
I think it is helpful to try to embrace a past life as much as desired even if it is a historical figure. IMO, I wouldn't find it helpful for someone to invalidate an experience I was working through.
