There are numerous systems, regimens or methods devoted to personal development and awareness. There are also numerous methods to alleviate stress, trauma and depression, and there are numerous methods claiming to provide peace, contentment, enlightenment and spiritual awareness. The list of practices with their various goals and purposes is almost endless and many of their adherents are grouped together as “New Agers.”
Very popular among “New Agers” is the expression, “ Be in the now!” Ironically, there is no other place to be, but in the now. What this state obviously means is to be detached from past traumas, so your attention is on what is going on around you now, not what has gone on in the past. I am not denying that “being in the now” is an admirable state, but it is not the import of this article.
A very common thread running through many of the above systems is regression, in other words looking for earlier incidents, going back in time to explain, alleviate and hopefully eliminate many of the above conditions, so that you can truly live “in the now.” Regression implies that you go back as early as you can, or you take something recent and chase it down to an earlier significant occasion, optimally the source.
Even conventional psychology counseling has the person go back to earlier incidents and talk about them, in the very common belief that it is childhood incidents where these unwanted conditions originate. I am not disputing that either, for until recently I was a great advocate of such thinking, but not the talking about it.
Another school of thought puts the source point of many of our problems in past lives and regresses clients into these areas. I have subjective reality on this form of regression, as well as the other forms, which stay in this lifetime. In no way do I contest the reality of past lives.
What I do contest, although I have taken a while to get around to it, is the need to practice regression of any kind. One of the two major realizations of the 7th March this year has obviated the need to practice regression in any form.
No matter where you are situated, if your attention goes onto a painful experience from the past and unpleasant sensations are rekindled, you feel them right then, in the so called “now.” The fundamental principle underlying all this is that Time is only an appearance. There is no such commodity as time. You cannot leave it behind somewhere because there is nothing to leave behind. For a spiritual Being, there is no time, there is only NOW! Time is a totally abstract commodity associated with the physical universe. This is demonstrated with an exercise in the book, “How to Turn Upsets into Energy.”
Referring back to unpleasant sensations being re-kindled, no matter how you extrapolate this, no matter how long ago it occurred, no matter how recent it was, no matter what the occurrence, no matter what the sensations, you are re-experiencing the unpleasant sensations right there and then. No matter where you go, be it to another city or even another country, those unpleasant sensations are similarly rekindled. You carry them with you where ever you go and re-experience them wherever you are and in that particular time frame.
An example of regression is a client recalling some unpleasant experience of say a month ago, having a counselor seek an earlier time he experienced the same thing, with the object of eventually locating the first time it happened. It is believed that the first time it happened is the key to getting on top of this particular unpleasantness. Assuming the client was regressed through say five incidents, in each one he was experiencing the same unpleasantness right there “in the now.” The same situation will apply if a client on complaining about some current unpleasantness is immediately regressed to the first time in this lifetime that it happened. In both incidents the sensation is being experienced “ in the now.” This is also the case of a person being regressed into a past life in pursuit of the source of some unwanted feeling etc which they are experiencing right now in this lifetime.
What the counselor does when arriving at this earliest experience or how he gets the client there, is immaterial as afar as my ideas are concerned. The point I am making is that in every incident during the regression technique, the same feelings are experienced “in the now” irrespective of their source. With the methods Mace Method all that is needed is that the client is experiencing it right there in session, for the techniques developed eliminate it right there and then. If you go back to the fact that there is no time for a spiritual being, everything is experienced NOW! Therefore, if you have the technique to do so, as does Mace Method, you may as well address the situation with what ever is presented first, be it yesterday, a year ago or 20 years ago.
What this means is that it not only obviates any necessity to delve into past lives, it greatly reduces the time to complete a handling.
The only use I now see for past lives is to regress a client into a couple of them, in order to give them subjective reality on their having lived before.
Mace Method has now made regression techniques obsolete.
