Yes, and No.

We obviously do not have full access to our memories of past lives.

Those people who have some memories only have snippets, not full memories. Usually only very strong memories from past lives can 'bleed through' into our current state of being....often of the death drama or major traumatic events.

The memories of a past life are wiped upon reincarnation....but something remains...some residue.

A 'residue' of experience remains and builds life after life. This is most clearly seen with the 'savant' phenomena, where often very young children exhibit profound skills.

And, all knowledge resides in each of us. We can access this if we work with our higher self and allow more integration.

There is an intelligence behind the substance of the dream state, and the OBE state. There is also intelligence behind real life and our shared physical reality. We can connect with that intelligence, or at least work with it at times. Intuition is one manifestation of this. Signs and omens, and psychic abilities, are other manifestations of this intelligence.

All living beings exist in a state of interconnected oneness.

We are separate, but all a part of the one.

There is wisdom in life. If we remembered everything from past lives, we would cease to be human.

In truth, the meaning of life is in the living of life. The value of a journey is in the journey itself and not the destination.
