Introduction

Reading this book requires an open mind, curiosity, and a willingness to embark upon a journey toward spiritual expansion. It is an invitation to the reader to seek out and integrate him/herself with something larger than that which normally exists within the boundaries of everyday life.

Throughout the years, the author has spent a considerable amount of time researching and questioning whether the experiences described in this book are real memories of other lives or simply creative fantasies. To do so, she has traveled the roads of philosophy, religion, spirituality, occult practices, psychology, and human physiology (e.g. brain chemistry, brain death). Although there are several scientific explanations that claim to shed light on the author’s experiences, it is her hope to lend legitimacy to the possibility that memories of others are retrievable in nontraditional ways and that they add vibrancy to our own lives.

At this point, please consider the line of thought that space is a vacuum. Simply enough, a vacuum seeks to be filled. Everything that is space, including the space between and within the very cells of our bodies as well as the space within our spirits or between thoughts, both conscious and subconscious, follows a natural imperative when it acts to complete itself. The author suggests that remembering is one way that humans fill those vacuums. Thus, memories can act to solidify what has been learned along the path of life, reveal where growth is yet needed, and help define what is the essence of the self.

Beginning at age three, the author experienced memories of others’ present, past, and future lives. Because the timeframes overlapped so dramatically in her own life, she acquired a rather unusual belief set for a Western thinker. This includes the supposition that time is nonlinear and folds in upon itself, touching other times at distinct points.

The actual transcription of the author’s memories began at age nine. The first step was that the she enter a deep meditative state, or what some might term a trance. During her earliest experiences she spoke, and a companion recorded or wrote down the message. However, since her mid-twenties, the author most often retrieves memories in the form of automatic writing. Strong visual images often occur at the same time.

After transcription, the author has no conscious memory of what she has written and she experiences a generalized loss of energy. The material is put away for a time, later to be retrieved and rewritten more legibly; only small grammatical corrections are made. When the language written is received with accompanying auditory input, the author attempts to represent it phonetically.

A general timeframe in which the memories reside is usually sensed at the time of transcription. No research that would damage or change the message is done before or after the initial experience. At later points in her life, information that adds to the author’s own has been encountered, but the initial transcription remains unaltered.

The memories that follow are presented in a sequential format and in time-related groupings in order to encourage ease of reading. The life experiences communicated in this manner do not originally manifest themselves in chronological order, nor as a related group of experiences transcribed in one block of time. Instead, certain themes may reappear (e.g. violent or untimely death), or strong feelings (e.g. pain, frustration, joy, love) may assert themselves.

In addition, several poems are included which are not the result of direct transcription but have been inspired by the lives retrieved, as well as some that reflect the author’s own struggles to gain an understanding of this process.

As a child and young adult, relationships to these people developed over time. As a result, there was always a feeling of friendship or kinship with each speaker. As an adult, this feeling remains, but there is the added experience of a release or a rushing sense of pleasure for which there is no explanation, other than that the words have been spoken and a truth, lost in the past, has been brought into the light.

In a sense, the author experiences an epiphany with each connection which, while not religious in a strict sense, embraces a moment
