REINCARNATION and STARSEEDS ! IMPRINTING OTHERS' PAST LIVES ONTO YOUR OWN SOUL ! During September 1998, I read the book "Keepers of the Garden", by Dolores Cannon. The author has a lot of experience doing HYPNOTIC PAST LIFE REGRESSIONS and writing books about the results. This particular book is entirely based on the hypnotic past life regressions of a guy called Phil, who turned out to be a "STARSEED", (a Soul who has reincarnated into this world now from ANOTHER solar system). [ There are now about 110 MILLION Starseeds in this world, about two per cent of the world's population. Most of them do NOT yet consciously know who they really are.] Chapter 8 of the book is about "IMPRINTING". According to this chapter, a Soul can withdraw a complete record of a past life of another person from the Akashic records, and permanently IMPRINT this information onto his own Soul, and it will then be his experience, as if he lived the life himself. "The imprints are chosen before the incarnation. There is a method which is far too complex to understand. But you can say that there is a computer, a master computer which has access to all the lives, every one previous. And so the information is fed in of what is to be expected of this life and the appropriate imprints are then selected and overlaid. There is a hierarchy of spirits whose job it is to do this. A council which oversees this. They assist the soul. This computer or council is given all the information regarding the mission and the past experiences of the vehicles with which to draw from. And so there is the choosing between that previous lifetime which has been deposited into the records and a match between that which pertains and the experience which is about to begin. All memory, all thoughts, all senses, everything that a real existing life would have is there intact. It is a hologram, a three- dimensional summation of that lifetime. All experiences, remembrances, emotions are imprinted into that soul and become a part of that soul. This information is then carried after the incarnation is over and is a gift from having lived in this realm of existence and so then becomes part of the permanent record of the soul." (Quoted from page 74.) "The free will of the soul is here, in that the imprint is made by the free will of the soul and not someone else's free will. All relative information is given into this computer and those appropriate incarnations are then given for imprinting. The imprints are available from this source but the individual makes the final decision. The soul has the power to reject if he finds an imprint which is not acceptable to him, for whatever reason. If he simply decides to use his authority to say, 'I do not wish to have that one,' then so be it." (Quoted from page 75.) This is especially useful or even IMPERATIVE for Starseeds, to help them adjust to this world which is so extremely DYSFUNCTIONAL compared to most of the rest of the civilized physical Universe. I do NOT recall ever hearing or reading about "IMPRINTING" anywhere before. However, it does explain some apparent paradoxes that sometimes appear in hypnotic past life regressions. For example, some past lives have each been claimed by more than one person. Also, sometimes a person under hypnotic past life regression will claim to be two or more people whose lives overlapped in terms of time frame. Every person should consider the possibility that sometime in the future, after s/he dies, every detail of his or her present life might be IMPRINTED onto another Soul seeking to REincarnate ! I think that Chapter 8 of "Keepers of the Garden" by Dolores Cannon should be REQUIRED READING for EVERYone ! Robert E. McElwaine Eckankar Initiate P.S.: PASS IT ON !
