What if we knew about directly about our past lives

[Premi5]

If we knew about directly about our past lives how different would life be?

Would we be more understanding of all the difficult times we face and the lessons we must learn?

Or would it be too dangerous for our psyche to know about all the relationships we have had with those close in our lives in the past?

It would be too much for our brains to optimally process and function. We barely deal with one lifetime's worth of events and trauma. Having access to a library full of experiences, emotions, and memories spanning centuries would result in most people ending up in the loony bin. Only immensely grounded and enlightened individuals can handle it. The C:/ Format function performed by God at the beginning of each our lifetimes is a good thing. Clean slate, fresh start.

If we knew our past lives we wouldn't want to live this one. So many Paaps we would remember.

 Watch this video by Basics of Sikhi. Bhai Jagraj Singh ji answers this question nicely.

Knowing what sins you have committed can be helpful in understanding your path and the obstacles in front of you. But I imagine it’d be overwhelming to the point of paralysing thought. 

Even so, I wish we’d know what kind of lives we have lived to understand the journey of the human soul better. It might help focus ourselves on Guru ji’s path.

I think I was a monkey in the mountains in India, near some dharam asthan where I heard kirtan a lot and saw people on yatra traveling    maybe a monkey near anandpur sahib? Lol

Also I shared with the other monkeys and was friendly with people who passed by.

As a human in my past life in the early 20th century. My life was full of passion, love, selfishness, stubbornness, vices and tragedy. I died early and then was beaten the crap out of my the jamdoots and dharamraj ripped my life file up and said get out.    The monkey janam came some point after that, not directly though. 

This is really creative lol
