Past life regression, Is there such a thing as future life progression where a person sees who he will be..?

Question

In the future?

Answer 1

Maybe not in the sense you're thinking of.  The hindu religion explains their belief, so perhaps in that way you could see what you'll become?

Answer 2

I believe you could produce future life regressions using the same method used in producing past life regressions.  I believe the future lives would be as valid as the past lives.  That is to say, they would both be complete nonsense.

Past life regressions are nothing more than the fruits of suggestive hypnotic conversations.  By asking questions in a certain way I could guide you to tell me all sorts of things about your past lives (which you never had).

Answer 3

Yes, there is such a thing as future life progression (link below). This is accomplished the same way that past life regression is done via hypnosis.

Unlike the all knowing psuedoskeptics on YA all I have to work with is science and it's methods so I can't say for sure that past lives or future lives exist or do not exist.

I can say the future lives would be very difficult to test as that evidence (for instance historical documentation) does not yet exist to be able to verify if a person (you or not) even really existed (or ever will exist).

Past life regression is certainly open to criticism (as is hypnosis is general as a source of information)

However, hypnosis in general has been shown to have great effect with behavioral changes. Past life regressions (that are actually a very Freudian idea of finding a reason to blame something on) have been useful in treating people with phobias (again like Freud it does not matter if this is the real reason just that the person accepts it as the reason and believes that dealing with this will overcome the problem).

Answer 4

I think only catepillars are the only one's who can see they will become butterflies.

Answer 5

I think we were friends in another life, and I'm pretty sure you owed me some money.

Answer 6

Firstly, this idea is not universal, the way some myths appear in every spiritualistic belief all over the globe. It is imported from Hinduism and later, Buddhism, it is a convenient idea sometimes but it does not have any other proof other than faith and adhering to a specific dogmatic set of axioms (truths accepted as such without need to be demonstrated).

At some point, I came across a few rather sophisticated different calculating systems which pointed out, all, indeed, the same result: I was a shoemaker in China in the early 17th century.

Needless to say I wasn't flattered - most of those who claim they remember their previous lives say they were Cleopatra, Napoleon and other characters on this theme; someone important, I mean.

The Christo-Islamo-Judaic traditions, the majoritarian ones, say the spirit has one single chance; after death, we all await the Divine Judgment. No reincarnation. The Egyptians believed something similar and so did most of the other nations in the old days.

A not so recent conclusion of the modern hypnotists agree that, under hypnosis, a person becomes highly cooperative and, if asked, they'll make up any amazing story, in a great variety of details.

But there is no such thing as reincarnation - and a future one is just as improbable as a past life.

Answer 7

Very interesting answer Mirko. :-)

I do believe in past life regression, but as yet have seen or heard of nothing to suggest that future life regression is possible.

EDIT: "Well, Past Life Regression is a crock" Must be nice to be as all seeing and all kowing as you eh? Whatever happened to tolerance for other people's beliefs regardless of whether or not you agree with them? >:-/

Answer 8

yes absolutely, I have actually seen this done.

Of course, like past life regression, its all just imagined scenerios and manufactured memories.

Answer 9

Well, Past Life Regression is a crock (see link below). There's no reason to believe that we live multiple lives, other than because it's fun to think so. Based on this, I'd say "future life progression" is pretty absurd.
