THE MOST PLEASANT PHARAOH (Part 2)

In the past life regression session, I saw myself as a Pharaoh. Is this real? What can we learn from this experience?

Let’s go back to Part 1 here.

In Part 2, we will explore the important lessons derived from that past life as a Pharaoh.

LIFE LESSONS

I feel like that life lacked experiences, it was meaningless. Even though there were things that felt like I had reached the peak, like being in a high position, I didn’t find any meaning in it. What if I were born into a common family? If I were the child of a fruit seller in the market, I would have more work to do in a day than sitting in the hallway nibbling on fruit. Instead of having to study while my mother feeds me fruit, I would be able to observe, maybe meet some neighbors, rather than watching my sister go off somewhere. I think it would be more fun, even though it would be harder. I would still have the chance to meet that teacher because they would also be going to buy fruit.

This reflection seems to point out that the true value of life lies not in power or wealth but in the simple, lived experiences that allow us to connect with others and learn in ways that feel more authentic and fulfilling.

The lesson of life is… experiencing the meaninglessness… and that’s all. To show me that wealth and power don’t equate to happiness. My subconscious wanted me to see that life, in that position, was not what I imagined. I once thought that if I were rich, life would be so much easier, so I wanted to experience that life. But after the experience, I realized it was no different. If I keep leaving my life to chance, whether I’m rich or poor, it will still be meaningless. I thought external conditions and circumstances would determine my happiness. Like thinking that having my sister around would make me happy. But in reality, I was already happy in that moment when I was gazing at the pyramid. However, I wanted more. I became greedy and didn’t trust that moment of happiness. I didn’t trust myself, and that’s why I saw the meaninglessness. In fact, happiness is very simple. It doesn’t require external conditions. The more we look outside, the further we drift from the true happiness that lies within. Oh, I lived an entire life just to see the meaninglessness… (sighs…) I regret that life… The day my sister got married, instead of feeling jealous, if I had prayed for her happiness, maybe things would have been better for both of us. Even for my father, his real goal wasn’t to become a Pharaoh—he already had power—but he lacked confidence. He felt that if he gave power to his son, it would make him more powerful… sigh… In the end, he lost it. Even my mother got caught up in that action. When everything could have been happy from the beginning… (feeling regretful)… I feel sorry for those involved in that life. Not all of them, but just for me and my father (sniffles… feeling sorrowful). I feel like I’m the same now. I’m still looking for things outside. But this time, I’m looking for help or joy from the outside with the intention of guiding myself inward, not like before, searching unconsciously.

There were always better choices in that life. Like, I really respected the legacies of the previous pharaohs. After expanding the land, I could have focused on creating channels to bring water into the city for agriculture, which would have allowed for more land to grow crops. If I could have done that, everything would have been even better, but I was devastated after the conquest. I chose a meaningless death.

In that life, the happiest person was the little boy who ran the fruit stand, the one I had thought about when I imagined being in his shoes. My mother was also very happy until she tragically died in a fire.

Maybe that’s why now I really value working people. (A separate conversation).

I passed away in 148 BCE.

The teacher, my mother, and my father, I have met them again in the present. I don’t know my mother. My father is my father. The teacher didn’t appear in human form.

After leaving my life as a Pharaoh, I met the teacher in the spiritual realm, and that teacher guided me on further journeys, including to Earth.

THE VOID

This is the first time I’ve encountered a Pharaoh, so I intentionally gathered as much information as I could about their daily life, appearance, personality, achievements, and other aspects of life in that era, hoping to find some clues about them in history. Fortunately, the subject has an excellent command of language and described everything in great detail. However, it’s also funny that, even though the information came through so clearly, the subject still doubted what they saw. So, eventually, your teacher guided you into an experience where, although you were aware of your physical body lying on the bed, you also felt yourself as molecules—separating and expanding, vibrating, contracting and expanding again. If you’ve ever read the Dragon Ball comics about instant transmission, you could roughly understand how this “time travel” works: it’s like the particles that make up your body change from a dense, slow, sticky state to a fast, expanded, less connected state, then back to a dense, slow, sticky state. But for you, this experience felt like being suspended in mid-air, which made you feel tense and uncomfortable, as if your body was here, but your mind was elsewhere. This experience taught you that you had to learn to embrace the Void.

Finally, you realized the Void. In the Void, love or hate doesn’t matter because both still involve something, compared to nothing. When you’re on Earth and see it as beautiful, you love Earth. When you’re on a barren planet, dry and rocky, it feels boring. But in the Void, you’d love even the barren planet because, though it’s not like Earth, it still is something. You realize it doesn’t have the green of Earth, but the stone with veins here might be extremely valuable back on Earth because of its rarity. The reason you were forced to study the Void is that you kept expecting that the hypnosis experience had to be something profound, so you didn’t accept the simplicity and the meaninglessness of the life of the Pharaoh you just witnessed (because you thought it was too pointless). In fact, that life was also about learning the Void, like when you were a Pharaoh, simply gazing at the Pyramid and feeling happy. But after experiencing that life, you felt uncomfortable about it without realizing that just being able to witness that life was already something, compared to nothing.

You realize that because you are nothing, you can be everything. You can become any meaning you choose. But you quickly find yourself feeling lacking because you keep condensing yourself. Yet when you are a spark of light (this is when you leave the Pharaoh’s life and return to the spiritual realm), you can expand endlessly, and then dissolve, blending into everything.

In this moment, even though part of your consciousness is still curious about your relationships with your parents, your partner, and past lives, you fully realize they no longer matter. Because, in the end, all the pain, the love, or lack of love is still a something—it’s an experience compared to nothing—nothing at all. Your teacher also dissolves, merging into everything, but you know the teacher is always there, watching over you.

THE PRESENT MOMENT

Returning to the feeling of tension and discomfort you had—it was because you weren’t fully grounded in any one perspective. Your consciousness still had doubts. It’s like we rarely ever stay 100% in the present moment; our physical body may be here, but our minds often wander far away. I guided you to experience being 100% present in one perspective. You then went back to your childhood, lying on the grass, in the middle of an eucalyptus forest, the grass high enough to reach your head when you lay down, the breeze cool, and the leaves rustling. You could smell the eucalyptus in the wind. The feeling was just like the moment the Pharaoh stood on a sand dune looking at the Pyramid, feeling happy to be part of the whole. In this moment, there was no “self” anymore, no “who I am,” just pure presence.

I will end this story in this very present moment. At the end of this session, I have shared so many things from my perspective. Now, I’ve forgotten all of it. I won’t draw any conclusions. Whether you realize anything from this story or not, that remains your experience.
