A few years back, on a saturday night, I was in one of Mumbai's pubs just freaking out with a few colleagues of mine. One of my colleagues, a charmer, chatted up with a PYT and the next thing we find is the two dancing their way to glory. "Naseeb hai yaar"... said one of my colleagues, a bit "J" though. "Pichle janam mein kuch ladki patane laayak kaam kiya hoga, jo aaj yu hi chutki mein ladki pata raha hai"..said another. The DJ was mixing all kinds of peppy bollywood tunes and God knows why, he did a mix of the KARZ song... "Ek hasina thi...Ek Deewana tha... "...and lo! we found ourselves discussing on past life...and how people can go to their past lives by being hypnotised... . None of us were experts on the topic and it ended up in some other aaltu faaltu topics (what else can we expect after a group of 5 downs almost the same number of pegs each). But the concept dint leave me.
Almost an year back I read an article on PAST LIFE REGRESSION (PLR) in a prominent Indian magazine. The article contained the past life account of a lady (indian) and then I found myself reading anything and everything related to PAST LIVES. I devoured all of Brian Weiss's books one after the other. Not satisfied I surfed the net. I found a lot of sites on the topic. My curiosity was growing day by day. I determined I needed a past life regression. Who knows I must have been the king of this land! (couldn't imagine anything less!).
Finally the opportunity presented itself before me in June 2008. I convinced one of my closest buddies to join me for a two day PLR camp. My friend was not very much into all these and kept pulling my leg saying what if I was a dog or a donkey in past life ? And the scariest thing of all, what if you get stuck in one of your past lives and cannot come back to the present? (it did sent a mild shiver through my spine though)...I pretended to be not disturbed and said, "If I am stuck in the past as a dog, first thing I would do is give you an extrahard bite and if a donkey a memorable kick on your groin".
Once inside the camp we found ourselves amidst another 25 past life seekers. Good!. And then it began. Theory of past life, Human consciousness, life in different dimensions. I couldnt concentrate, all I wanted was an experience. And then the practical sessions began. There was some kind of a trance music playing in the back ground and the hypnotist was using his hypno methods "you are going deeper and deeper and deeper" ...things like that...I was as wide awake as I could be and never went deeper and deeper :(
Day 2. Again the same experience. However many participants recalled their past lives (or that is what they said). Everyone was some king or queen or leader or rich. No one was a pauper or a criminal or a crook or an animal. I exchanged glances with my friend and we knew we were sailing on the same boat. There were a couple of others also who dint have a PLR.
I got enough curses from my friend to last a lifetime for screwing up his weekend. I was down and empty. On second thoughts... ( I tried convincing my friend also) I guess this is my first life time :).
(if anyone had any real PLR experiences I would really love to hear about it...Thank you)
