Can you elaborate?

As far as information, I would support the ideas of some scientists where a lot of what we have as evidence is information that was supplied by someone who couldn't possibly know it, or get it, using our standard model of sensory input. Knowing things that can be proven, or are veridical, as is the case for support of some NDE or reincarnation memories, psychic data, telepathy, RV data, etc. This evidence is accurate information, arriving in a manner that can only be guessed at. When a person is accurate in RV, there are some reports that this information arrives in one lump and has to be digested to make any sense. I can corroborate the immersive experience of information from my own subjective experiences, where I suddenly have information or knowledge that has no source, or that would make sense from the standards of physics, yet is accurate and correct, and verified by others. This becomes veridical evidence of information entering my consciousness like a memory. Many of these have been full immersive experiences, many have been complete information that is similar to recalling a memory. I feel that I'm there, experiencing something, with all my senses, as if it is currently reality. I remember them, and check them, and report them. The difference between a hard drive and this experienced information is seriously a wide margin. It become the ultimate in virtual information, with the experience itself as a total immersion witnessing and experiencing event, or a block of memory that just appears and inserts itself.

Even Prof. Bengston is now calling the healing energy stored in cotton balls, information. So, whether we accept the terminology or not, we have things happening that don't fit our current view of physics.

And, likely most importantly to me, not everything we experience has to be correct or true information. We all get a lot of garbage, and our delusions, and our fantasies presented to us in many different formats, from dreams to visions to whatever. That doesn't make them real or true. Our mind has issues figuring out what is, or isn't, actual information of value.

We even have veridical evidence that some OOBE's and RV experiences are forward and backwards in time, with no feelings or thoughts from the observer that this is the case when they experience it. That information proves true, and was gathered in an altered state.

So, when we stick to the facts and evidence, we have a pretty solid picture of how information is obviously stored and retrieved, whether that is a time jump, a time and space jump, reading data from someone else's memory, or some kind of energy system that records everything we do, is something to ponder.

I personally like the idea of the Akashic records, and it has some support from some pretty skilled and gifted people.

I had a discussion not long ago with a medium. I had asked why we don't know more about the entire process of death, life on the other side, and reincarnation, if we have so many mediums communicating with actual human beings that have passed over. I got a lot of nonsense answers, of course.

One of them then gave me this explanation where we are taking part in our own future, planning your own life out, and coordinating this with your incarnations to learn and grow. So, according to this view, life is all already planned out, the future is done, and your puppet here on Earth is just carrying out the play they have put together, for whatever reason they think will make you learn and grow. They then are picking to be murdered, or abused, or to live a life of pain and suffering. Like that would ever be a learning and growing experience? What a bunch of sadists and masochists.

That Medium even stated that it seems crazy to her, but that this is what they were sharing. So, my response is that mental illness carries over to the other side and is running rampant there.

They also then block just about everyone's memories and access to things that would be helpful to carry forward, which makes zero sense to me, and to many other people who reject these reincarnation views.

You end up coming back to Earth over and over, with no clue why you are here, or why you are being abused, or why you are the abuser. Kept in the dark and fed BS, just like some mushroom. That is obviously a total farce system of manipulation and abuse. Anyone on the other side agreeing that some innocent child should be tortured and recycled to achieve some learning or growing experience needs a sound beating with a rubber hose. It reflects the sickness of human beings at a deep and dark level.

With the sheer number of people on the planet, the time we have been here, and the number of incarnations, we should be much farther down the road of experience, learning, or growing into better creatures. But we are not. We are constantly cycling through these division and hate cults of war and death. So this part also makes zero sense to anyone looking in. The current hate and division, the popularity cults and deep issues of most of the planet show that nobody is learning anything of value.

I can go on and on about what is wrong with the current theories and ideas about how reincarnation is supposed to work, or the actual purpose of this horrible idea of deleting memories and sending people back over and over. That is more of a prison planet idea than something to do with spiritual development.

The simple solution is that there is no plan, and no real rhyme or reason to it. We would then just be an energy blob that attaches to a baby like a parasite, and then loses that body at death, and possibly starts over again, with no real goal or purpose except to live in a physical body again. We could be losing all of our memories because the new mind is blank and we align with it, or because we can't actually keep them in our energy body condition. Who knows? We could just be parasites with warped ego's, which actually better fits the facts of humans being a cancer to the planet and all other life on this planet.

What we end up with is some hell planet where we are puppets for some version of our 'higher' self that is not achieving the goals they claim to be focused on.

Not my idea of what life should be, and if it is, I will be fighting them on the other side, likely sooner than most of the readers here.

From my understanding of the literature surrounding remote-viewing, it is extremely unreliable ~ the viewer can be influenced or distracted by many things, and so see things that aren't actually going to happen or happening. I don't quite know whether this fits in the psychic side of things.

I find "information" rather vague and abstract ~ information is just bits of knowledge, perhaps data points, in experience, so information can perhaps be seen as just a form of qualia. Physics has come quite late to the table on this, so I wonder if they're just reinventing the wheel somewhat.

Which is why we need another means of verification... in my experience, time and stability is what renders the real from the unreal. The entities I commune with ~ I feared for years that they would be not real, but they remained stable in character, personality and appearance through my dim astral(?) senses. When I had energy and focus, their appearances and forms were very sharp, and I could almost feel them, as if I could physically touch them. But that turned out to be tiring ~ I would later feel like a burned-out husk mentally.

Do you have links to examples of OOBE's and RV's of interest that can outline this? I have trouble believing that anyone can see a set-in-stone future ~ seeing the past accurately is seemingly just as tricky, where it does not involve remembrances on one's past life memories.

What are the facts and evidence, though? You say this, but don't provide evidence on what the facts and evidence are supposed to be, which I would be interested in.

I have never encountered any of these time jump, time/space jump, reading data from someone else's memory or experiencing some kind of apparently vague and nebulous energy memory storage system.

I have experienced memories and emotions of the entities I commune with, but I wouldn't class that as "data". It's more a wave, than anything discrete.

Never having experienced it myself, or anything like it, I do not trust the idea very much. I don't know who these skilled and gifted people are that you refer to. Could you tell us about them?

I like being able to verify and cross-check information ~ even if just for intuition and inspiration purposes, to see what rings true, and whether I am reminded of anything in my own experiences to draw upon.

Unfortunately, you will get that ~ mediums do not all have the same capabilities or focuses. They have different sets of specialties and means of connecting with the deceased. Each medium appears to have a different accuracy depending on circumstance ~ perhaps even their state of mind, whether they are tired, etc. Mediumship appears to not be an on and off button.

https://psi-encyclopedia.spr.ac.uk/artic.../#Accuracy

Quote:Results
Taken together, the research performed over the last two decades examining the accuracy of mediums’ statements collected under controlled experimental conditions has effectively demonstrated anomalous information reception (AIR) by mediums. That is, this collection of evidence demonstrates that certain mediums are able to report accurate and specific information about the deceased with minimal prior knowledge about the deceased or their associated sitters, with no feedback during or after the readings, and without using fraud or deception. However, these data cannot determine the source of the information:
Quote:Two hypotheses have been proposed as explanations for the presumably psi-based source of accurate information reported by mediums: the term survival psi41 is used to describe the theoretical phenomenon in which mediums communicate telepathically with the deceased and the term somatic psi42 is used for the competing theory that mediums use telepathy with the living, clairvoyance (including of a psychic reservoir), and/or precognition but not communication with the deceased to acquire information. Because the types of information theoretically accessible using psi and the times at which they could be accessed are limitless, accuracy data cannot distinguish between these two theories. As a result of this ‘survival psi versus somatic psi’ impasse, qualitative phenomenological methodologies have been used to collect data regarding mediums’ experiences and examine which explanation they better support.43

That seems like a rather unfair interpretation. You really need to read between the lines of what mediums present, as I notice that there is a tendency for them to possibly interpret information through their own unconscious beliefs.

Life may be planned out by our soul ~ but that doesn't mean things go as planned. I think that our soul plans only the major beats, and then lets our incarnate self figure the rest out, so we can find our way with meaningful choice. But even then, life can go off track and those major beats can be missed if our incarnate self doesn't have the experience or wisdom to get there.

Who is "they"? How do you know that "they" are being malicious?

Besides, memories are not being "blocked". We do not know why anything recalls past-life memories.

https://psi-encyclopedia.spr.ac.uk/artic...-research/

Quote:Reports of children with claimed memories of a past life appeared sporadically in the first half of the twentieth century and earlier, including small series of cases.1 More systematic research began after Ian Stevenson, an American professor who was then Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Virginia, published a review of those cases in 1960.2 The following year, he travelled to India and Sri Lanka (then called Ceylon) to see if current cases could be found. He discovered that indeed they could be and studied about 25 of them.3 He became intrigued by the cases and over time devoted more and more time to them, eventually stepping down as Chairman to focus on the research full-time. He published his first collection of case reports, Twenty Cases Suggestive of Reincarnation,4 in 1966. His long descriptions of the cases detailed his efforts to determine precisely what the child had said about a previous life, how well the statements corresponded to the life of a deceased individual, and whether the child could have obtained the information through ordinary means. Stevenson followed this with a series of books featuring cases from different areas.5

Over 2,500 cases have now been studied.6 Along with Stevenson, others have contributed to the research, both in concert with Stevenson and independently. Notable researchers of the first generation after Stevenson include anthropologist Antonia Mills, psychologists Erlendur Haraldsson, [/url]Jürgen Keil, and Satwant Pasricha, and psychiatrist [url=https://psi-encyclopedia.spr.ac.uk/articles/jim-b-tucker/]Jim B Tucker. In recent years, younger researchers such as Ohkado Masayuki and James Matlock have made important contributions also. Increasingly, the research has turned attention to the past-life memories of adults as well as children, but this article focuses on research with children.

The Division of Perceptual Studies at the University of Virginia7 maintains a database of cases in which each case is coded on two hundred variables, permitting statistical pattern analyses of the collection.8 In addtion to case studies, there have been psychological assessments of the children in contrast to their peers without past-life memories, primarily by Haraldsson;9 follow-ups of adults who talked about their memories in childhood;10 and studies of how the children’s parents reacted to their memory claims.11

Case investigators continue to follow Stevenson’s pioneering methodology, which centres on interviewing adult witnesses on both the present- and past-life sides of a case, but Donna Thomas and colleagues are developing methods that can be used interview older children about what they remember.12

As for why we have amnesia...

Quote:Prevalence and Patterns of Past-Life Memory

No survey has yet measured the prevalence of claims of past-life memories globally. Clues are provided by surveys carried out in 1974, which reported incidences of 2% in Iceland and 8-9% in Charlottesville, Virginia; in a further survey in Iceland in 2007, the figure was 10%.4

Reincarnation researcher Ohkado Masayuki conducted an internet survey asking thousands of Japanese mothers whether their children remembered being born, being in the womb, the intermission between the present and past lives, and past lives themselves. Among mothers who knew of the existence of past-life memories, 4% reported that their children had spoken of them between ages three and twelve.5 In America, the Division of Perceptual Studies at the University of Virginia, in a 2014 pilot survey, found that up to 6% of American households with children aged three to ten currently had a child talking about a past life, roughly matching Ohkado’s result.

It should be noted that these are claims of remembering past lives, not verified cases. Strong, confirmed cases such as those published by Stevenson and others must be much rarer.
Stevenson found that young children who remember past lives typically stop talking about them between five and eight, with some outliers.6 Some children retain some aspect of their memories into adulthood; Erlendur Haraldsson found this was the case with 38% of 42 Sri Lankan children;7 he and Majd Abu-Izzeddin subsequently found this also among the majority of 28 Lebanese subjects (86%).8

In other cases, people recall past lives for the first time in adulthood, or regain memories forgotten in childhood.

The page then examines the hypotheses that could best fit the data:

That sounds like a utterly awful mindset to have. It is not healthy whatsoever.

My experience is the opposite ~ there is a plan, but we spend lifetimes slowly working towards some goal that doesn't make sense while we're in the journey. Many of the entities I commune with I all had some connection to in a past life, which explains certain things. Said entities also found it rather curious, as they didn't expect it either. But then, they are astrally incarnate entities, not disincarnate souls, so they wouldn't have had access to their soul knowledge.

Have you based this in evidence and experience, or just fearful belief?

You want a lot of data and links to things that are common knowledge to most people who have spent any time studying these subjects, and you want them on a sliver platter while being spoon fed. Then you turn around and dismiss the facts because they don't fit what you want them to fit.
