Past Life, Present Life, and Future Life

Past life, present life, and future life is a foundational concept in Lifechanyuan's spiritual cosmology, describing the three continuous segments of a LIFE's journey through time. One's thoughts, intentions, and actions in a past life compose the "fate-formation" (命阵) that governs the present life's circumstances; the efforts and inner state of the present life, in turn, inscribe the future life's script. These three segments are woven together through the Dao's cosmic programming and the law of cause and effect.

"Only those who clearly understand their own past and can see their own future are truly living with clarity — they alone can turn tragedy into joy, and step from the realm of necessity into the realm of freedom."
