Do Past-Life Traits Carry-Over?

 

Question:     Are some of our talents and character traits brought with us from past lifetimes?

 

Answer:  Artistic or musical talents developed in past lifetimes may remain with us through subsequent incarnations. These talents must be encouraged in the child by his parents or teachers, however, if his abilities are to be recognized and brought forth in a particular lifetime. Environment is a powerful influence. An Ego may incarnate into a civilization where the social mores are totally opposed to the ones which prevailed in his most recent incarnation. Therefore, much of our learning from past lifetimes must be closed to us so that we may cope with new conditions and requirements. Kindliness or a sense of justice learned ma past civilization may continue to manifest in a person’s character, or an individual may continue to be rather cruel regardless of his environment. Most of our more admirable character traits were learned during our incarnations into the Lemurian Civilization. Unknowingly, we continue to hark back to a vague desire to return there and recreate the better way that we knew then. (02-1971)
