Are "past lives" actually from the past?
Time doesn't 'really exist'...
All events happen Simultaneously, rather than, Sequentially
Think of how the dynamics alter, when you can send energy/thought currents- "Right Now" to you, in the future and the past.
Also alternate time lines, which swing side to side, rather than the linear forward and backward- are also affected = Right Now.
Some one can be alive currently, in the dark ages, and simultaneously, also be alive 1,00 years into the future
In deep meditation, there can exist a "communion"- where these experiences are being shared
I believe lucid dreaming, also, is such a communion of multiple fractured "selves"
Premonitions, deja vu, etc can also be symptomatic of this
"Astral travel", remote viewing, etc is transferring consciousness of the primary Focal point of view, from one fractal self/vehicle to another
