You carry memories of other lives on Earth, yes. That doesn't prove that "YOU" have lived them. Quotes because what is you? WHAT are you? You do not know. It is not possible to truly know oneself.

Either way, because of the way time occurs, and the interdimensional arrangement of planes that create the physical world, it remains true that the only real moment is now. And if, through the purified mind that can make other times become NOW, they are also NOW. Sounds like mumbo jumbo, I am sure. But the point is, the Universal Intelligences that represent the ultimate in terms of consciousness and power through the universe function 100% in the NOW. They are also eternal. It only seems paradoxical because our human minds are born out of a paradox.

I actually have thought about how those memories may not be mine It helped me disassociate from some of the negative aspects of those memories, which at first crippled me.

No, it doesn't sound like mumbo jumbo, although I think my criticisms with the whole "here and now" thing stands. I think my problem with it is that I don't view the past present and future as being separate. They are, to me, part and parcel. They go together, and can all be conceptually viewed as being NOW, but are they?

I know I'm getting some (or most) of this wrong.

To be eternal is to be in the NOW, is it not? It is to experience the past present and future all together, in one soup. Not how humans view it, as being linear and segmented

Yes I agree, to be eternal is to be one with time, so that time becomes a non-factor. All nows are ever NOW. This is how the Cosmic Intelligence at the core of man sees things. It is very foreign to the ego incarnate and as such, fusing all the parts of such a being into one melded whole is (obviously?) difficult. But it's starting to happen.

"All nows are ever now." Yeah, this is how I view it. I think some new age people view it this way, but their language paints it in another picture. Like, where past and future literally don't exist, not that our ways of perceiving them are wrong.

If you really think it is happening, then I'm glad to have met you. Very few people have a bright outlook on the human race. I personally feel like we have a good chance of changing to become more life-affirming as a race.

Is it you who described in a post a few weeks back, "good" as "life-affirming" and "evil" as "life-negating"? If so, I have to say, that really resonated with me. It's a verbatim expression of what I perceived already. But since I only use English on the Internet, I had never seen the reality of things expressed in this particular way. It resonates strongly with Objective Reality.

And yes, the stuff I speak of is WAY beyond beliefs, spirituality, new age stuff, etc.

That was me.
