Somewhere in Time . . .

My first experience with a vivid past-life recollection came to me when I went to an acupressure (shiatsu) therapist because of chronic back and neck pain. The sessions were conducted in silence, and I used this quiet time to meditate. About an hour into my third session, I had reached a very deep state of relaxation when I was startled by a crystal-clear image of myself from another time.

In this scene, I was taller and thinner, with a small dark pointed beard, and I was wearing a multicolored robe. I realized that I was a priest, an extremely powerful member of the religious hierarchy of the time. The building in which I found myself had a strange design that I had never seen before. It was distinctly geometric—flat on top with a larger, wide bottom and sloping sides. There were seven or eight levels, with plants growing on and over the sides, and wide stairs connecting the levels at certain points. Gradually, I became aware of a word in my mind: ziggurat. I had no idea what this word meant, and decided to put it out of my mind for the time being.

While I flipped back and forth between the outlook and vision of the priest and to an outside, detached, overall perspective, I became intimately aware of this person’s life. I knew that the priest’s earlier idealism and spirituality had given way to material values as he ascended to a position of great power and authority—he even had the ear of the royal family. But instead of using his position to promote spiritual values, brotherhood, and peacefulness in his people, he abused his position to obtain wealth, sex, and even more power.

The priest died a very old man, and never recaptured the virtues and idealism of his youth. He had to leave behind his fortune, power, position, and body, all of which he had been so obsessed with. I felt a terrible sadness, for it seemed to me that this man had wasted his life.

Later that evening, I remembered the word ziggurat. I researched it in the encyclopedia and found out that a ziggurat is a temple of the same geometric shape that I had visualized. These temples originated from the Babylonian-Assyrian era, and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon is an example of such a structure. In this way, I was able to help narrow down the time period of my past life.
