maybe what i thought was past life recall was instead seeing my future life events.
Sometimes my memories feel like the future too, like deja vu but more like a delayed response, sorta like dreams that don’t make sense until years after (though I don’t like remembering how much time has passed since the dream, it makes me sad sometimes)
I too often feel extensive deja-vu from what I consider long forgotten dreams. burntbythesun very accurately described the feelings that I too share regarding the deja-vu.
I am not sure what Lifer described as their issue. My own delusions are mostly flavoured either “memories from past lives” or “conversations with souls of personalities from my past lives”. Are your experiences similar, Lifer? If so, I hope my message helps you combat your problem.
Personally, I managed to reduce and subdue my delusions when I realised that my “memories” are fueled not by unknown unverifiable source, as I thought from the start. Rather, my delusions are produced as a reaction to real life experiences from childhood and young adulthood. Basically, what japanese cartoons I watched, what games played, what books read, encounters with other people in school or college or vacations, and more importantly personal insecurities.
For years I considered my delusions as problems that the unseen force imposes on me unfairly. In reality however it was my own fantasies and vulnerabilities that due to peculiarities of schizophrenia I could not distinguish from reality. Eventually I made an incomplete list of my most persistent are reoccurring delusions. Then, I found an explanation for the true source of this delusion from my real life and not “past lives”. It is a very simple grounding exercise that I recommend you attempt, if, like me, you have “memories” and “prophecies” flung at you.
Yeah, I had a thought last week. It died of loneliness.
