Déjà vu is a memory of the present
(c) Henri Bergson, philosopher
Many of you are probably curious about what déjà vu is. According to statistics, 97% of people have experienced this state. I won’t be wrong if I say that you’ve likely encountered it too.
And the more you engage in spiritual practices, the brighter and deeper déjà vu becomes.
It seems like just a state lasting a few seconds, occurring in the most ordinary situations and then vanishing without a trace. It causes no harm and, seemingly, brings no noticeable benefit.
Why does it stir our minds so much?
Is déjà vu a brain glitch or a secret message from the soul?

What is déjà vu and how does it feel
Translated from French, “déjà vu” means “already seen.” A very accurate name—this mental phenomenon manifests just like that.
In a new situation, you get a strong feeling that “all this has already happened to you.” Every sound, every element of the surrounding environment feels physically familiar.
And you even “remember” what will happen in a few seconds. And when “it” happens, you feel that everything is going as it should.
And, as a rule, you even manage to have the thought “I’ve already seen this” or “I’m having déjà vu.”
Write in the comments whether you experience déjà vu and what signs usually accompany it
Déjà vu can be accompanied by a shift in perception. For example, heightened sharpness of colors or sounds. Or, on the contrary, a certain “fuzziness” of reality.
Sometimes it boosts your confidence and psychological stability, sometimes it causes brief confusion.
But one thing is certain—it doesn’t leave you indifferent. People who have experienced déjà vu usually remember these moments well and treat them as something unusual.
Books, articles, and scientific studies are dedicated to answering the question “what is déjà vu.”
At the same time, physiologically, it rarely lasts more than 10 seconds.
Can you imagine how deep and meaningful a phenomenon must be to stir humanity so much?

Déjà vu — a memory error?
Modern scientific research allows us to track what happens in the human brain during déjà vu.
When this occurs, the brain zones responsible for both the perception of sensory signals of the present (“this is happening now”) and long-term memory (“this is familiar to me”) are activated simultaneously.
Medical researchers have tracked a “dysfunctional electrical impulse” in the area of the middle temporal lobe and hippocampus (the zones responsible for memory and recognition). It is this impulse that gives a “false signal” about an exact recollection of what is happening.
Since the memory zone is hyperactive at this time and its signal even slightly precedes perception, a feeling of “recognizing the future” a few seconds ahead is created.
Overall, the conclusions boil down to the following: déjà vu is an inexplicable, but fairly harmless, memory error.
But still, why does it occur? Scientists have no answer.
However, there is interesting data from an experiment on reproducing déjà vu in laboratory conditions.
Participants were shown certain sounds and images, and then, under hypnosis, were made to forget about them.
When these same signals were shown to them again, the aforementioned brain zones were activated in the people, and they experienced a feeling of “déjà vu”.
So, is déjà vu not a new memory, but a forgotten and reactivated one?
But when did this happen to us, and why did we forget?
Déjà vu – a dream or the work of the subconscious?
Some psychologists put forward the version that déjà vu is a manifestation of the subconscious at work. For example, it has calculated the supposed development of some ordinary life situation. That is, you have, in a way, “lived through it.”
Then déjà vu simply kicks in when this situation arises, and is merely a small flash of intuition.
However, this does not explain such a complete sensory immersion in the detailed process of “recollection.” Although, as we will see later, the assumption is not without meaning.
There is also the opinion that the phenomenon of déjà vu is connected with memories from dreams. This was promoted, for example, by such a “heavyweight” as Sigmund Freud.
According to his version, déjà vu arises as a memory reaction to something seen in a dream. The dream, in turn, was based on a real foundation of pieces of your early real past.
Indirect confirmation of this may be the fact that some witnesses of déjà vu describe their sensations as “a simultaneous experience of the present moment and a memory of a dream in which they lived through this moment.”

Dream interpretation according to dream books is outdated. Modern spiritual sources provide fresh information about our dreams and their meaning. There are six main types of dreams…
Déjà vu – an imprint of past lives?
I can’t ignore another curious version either.
Some specialists link déjà vu and past lives, as well as ancestral (genetic) memory.
Freud’s contemporary Carl Jung described suddenly arriving memories of “his parallel life as an 18th-century doctor.” He would suddenly “remember” places and phenomena, for example, shoes in a book illustration.
Tina Turner in Egypt and Madonna in the imperial palace of China recognized landscapes and objects “from their past.”
Whether these testimonies are pure déjà vu, or whether they simply point to the existence of past lives, we cannot say for certain. However, this is another piece of the puzzle.
Hypnotherapist and regression therapist Dolores Cannon believes that the soul makes a certain plan for its future life before incarnation. And moments of déjà vu serve as a kind of reminder of the path you have chosen.

Déjà vu – your spiritual beacon on the path!
Let’s sum it up. Where have our reflections brought us?
Déjà vu is a phenomenon of perception. It occurs like an electrical impulse in the brain – a reaction to a new situation that seems familiar down to the smallest detail.
Déjà vu has some relation to the subconscious, dreams, and past lives, but we can’t quite “grasp” it precisely.
Déjà vu is a vivid experience unlike any other. It resembles magic, something unusual happening to you in the most seemingly ordinary circumstances.
The last and most important piece is added by spiritual sources.
A word from Kryon:
“Place your ‘now’ experience mentally into a huge spherical space, where everything you have done and all the potentials of the future are glued to the inner surface of the sphere.
Now place yourself in the center of the sphere and look around. At this point there is no predestination, but there are many paths of possibility.
But, since you are looking at everything (esoterically), you ‘feel’ it, and you actually develop a kind of multidimensional foresight of what might happen depending on the road you choose.
Even if you are sitting and reading these words in normal reality, a part of you always abides in that sphere, although you are not aware of it.
Therefore, when some potentials finally do manifest, a part of you says: ‘I have already been in this situation! Wow! Déjà vu!’
In reality, you are simply recognizing the potentials you yourself built for yourself and previously felt, which are now manifesting in your linear reality.”
Lee Carroll (Kryon). To Act or to Wait
So, the puzzle has come together.
Déjà vu is a manifestation of your own multidimensional spiritual plan.
It simultaneously reminds you,
- that you are more than you appear to be;
- that time does not exist, and the future, past, and present are fused into one;
- that your soul has chosen the best potentials for development for itself,
- that you are on the right path.
And each person receives such confirmation. It’s another matter how to use this information.
But now you and I know!
