# Past Lives, or Father's Side Ancestors >[!info] >The [[4D Souls|Souls]] of your past incarnations in [[3D - Space|3D]] that live in the [[4D - Time|4th Dimension]]. >Each of their entire lives are like the days that make up the life of your [[5D Guides|5D Guide]]. There are two ways [[Ari Nazem|Ari]] has found it possible to interact with them: --- The first is encountering them as separate entities that give counsel, information, and support while in the [[Self]] is identified with the Soul and in 4th Dimension. ![CDN media](https://i.redd.it/mbp1vxdah0k71.jpg) - a still from Avatar: The Last Airbender of the character Aang's Self identified with his Soul in the 4th Dimension looking back at the souls of his previous 3D incarnations. --- The second is when the Self is identified even higher, with the [[5D Guides|5D Guide]], and from that altitude is able to come down into the 4D Soul of the Ancestor itself and relive their 3D memories, in full identification. In this state, the memory is experienced like a 3D experience we have in our day to day life. Not hazy or surreal like a dream, but rather a full sensory experience like we are normally accustomed to. The format of the experience is the only thing that is similar, however. The embeddings of their thoughts — that is, their concept associations — are entirely unique, resulting in profound insight when returning to the Self's usual 3D body of identification, as the differences in knowledge become instantly apparent, resulting in learning. ---
