Hello Marina
Thank you for explaining this. I have very little knowledge of past life work, although as I mentioned I strongly suspect that the internal entities I deal with today may well have represented the core of the self in previous incarnations. The furthest I have gone back to is moments before my birth, and from then through into delivery.
Your intentional method, in which you enter a dream like state to work on past life material, sounds very like the methods I used for exploring my Self in a series of meditations on the Major Arcana last October. Like your experiences, these sessions were very intense and emotional. Jung would suggest that this work used "active imagination" techniques. I see them more as a form of Shamanism - they can be equally unsettling and dangerous too. On the other hand I experienced perhaps the highest and purest contact with reality that I have known. Some of the sequences too, were full of joy.
In none of these meditations did I experience consciousness in the other gender - that has occured only in significant dreams.
Deep Blessings - David
