Our past, present and future - all is stored in the antahkarna, which is the connection with the Divine seen in the form of a tube of light above the head. When people who have had near-death experiences are asked to recount their experience, they generally describe going through a tunnel filled with bright light. While a normal being traverses this tube only when the soul enters and exits a body i.e. Birth & Death; yogis can experience it at will in deep states of dhyan. They can transcend time to co-exist in the past, present and future by accessing the higher states of consciousness. There are four states of the mind - conscious, subconscious, unconscious and super-conscious (known as turaiya stage). A past life experience is the function of this fourth stage.
