You'd be surprised. Memories don't tell me what to do, hahaha
And for some of us, we do remember some. Whatever rises to the fore is presumed to be the most pertinent, for whatever reason. It's often not pleasant, but like a forgotten childhood memory that rises to the fore, it's to us to do with that as we like.
Like anything else of which we are (usually just) partially aware, we can deal with it wisely and to the best of our ability....or we can shelve it or use it to treat others poorly. And everything in between.
As to whether they are "past" or "alternate" lives, I don't think that really matters. It seems to me more a matter of perspective, or something like it. To the bird's eye view, everything appearing on ground to be occurring in some sort of of "order" can be perceived as "happening" all at once but in different contexts or realities.
Peace & blessings
