Today we are going to talk about a scientific myth known by a lot of people, and most of them show their attention or try to figure out the truth behind Past Life Regression or the ability to return to the past in order to know who you were in past lives, it becomes something very popular worldwide. So many people think that this kind of myths is useful for many psychological issues, phobias and so on ... for example if you died somewhere in a war, you will have some kind of phobia from high sounds and explosions. It's just a myth, nothing in relation with it is real.
'' Many lives, many masters '' and '' Miracles happen '', two interesting books written by Brian Weiss where he illustrates and explains very well this myth and maybe help some people who believe in past life regression to achieve what they want live some memories that never existed, the inner mind helps a lot to live these memories and the brain may be excited to play this game and solve the puzzle that allows you to see everything as real.
There is something more dangerous called : ' Repressed Memory Therapy ' it's just like when your laptop is damaged and you try to recover the data in your hard drive, this kind of treatment is abandoned because they found that the human's mind can create a virtual memory that never existed, and here is the problem, people became able to live other memories and events created by their subconscious ( unreal memories ) and it may cause problems, imagine one day you remember that you killed someone but you've never done this and many examples can explain the gravity of the problem. Our memory works like this many times, when you try to remember a story it tries to the gaps in this story with everything in order to complete it, after this you think that you remembered everything but 50% isn't real ! just like rumors it's exactly the same thing.
You may ask why people believe in things like this, maybe laziness is the first reason, we don't object to positive thinking and good thoughts but our interest is in the application of this positive thinking and we believe in it, not just the fact that you think positive will change your life but doing something that affects you positively is more interesting, to learn something in one day or one month, to set some goals and achieve them, to go to the end of the year with a totally different mind, to be what you wanted when you were a child that is more interesting than just thinking positively, waiting for the results of positive thinking without learning something or changing something is a waste of time, everything you learn won't be wasted for nothing and you will sens the difference when you become 60 or 70 years old.
Picasso was in a cafe and a piece of paper was on the table so he started to draw anything that could entertain him so a woman was behind him seeing what he was drawing and she didn't know who is he, few minutes later Picasso tore the paper and threw it out, the woman didn't take it but she asked Picasso if she could buy it from him ! so he said : Sure ! 20k dollars, the woman was chocked : It took 2 minutes to draw it and you demand 20k ! , Picasso responded : No, it took 60 years to draw it. Here is the point, don't waste your time waiting that the universe rewards you because your thoughts were positive, make an effort an then you can think positive if you want, the universe won't pay you for your positive mind. '' Why people believe weird things '' is a great book that explains how the human's mind loves paranormal things and tries to fill empty places with them.
Thank you :)
