Start with, the notion that time doesn't really exist. Time is basically part of the illusion generated by the ego for its own purposes (separation, division of cause ansd effect, ability to "observe" rather than see, etc). In short, "Time exists so all of this stuff doesn't happen at once." when in reality it does.
That means that, in the grand scheme, we are all of our incarnations at once.
Also means that we, as a "central identity" balance the effect of our various experiences, from all our lives, as a whole.
One of the more important effects of this, once you think about it, is the fact that it all comes back to the here and now. The "you" who is healed in any given life, is the same you in "this" one.
Anyway... a short 2 cents worth, to feed the mix.

Hi Fred, I love your description of us old-timers - it fits well. The fact that time is non existent is about as hard to believe as the concept of the earth being spherical. Our senses scream to us that such is not the case - but when you take the concept on board, it explains a lot of things that just don't make sense. I personally think that the idea of multiples of ourselves existing concurrently can explain de-ja vu, and dreaming. Not only do we exist in multiple parallel universes, bit also in many dimensions. I'm
dying to find out how it actually works.
