I firmly believe karma is not punishment but an opportunity to learn our lessons. If the lessons have not been learnt in a previous lifetime, we come back to work on them. The lessons are about love, compassion, non-violence, patience, understanding and non-prejudice. ~ Dr. Brian Weiss

YAY! 
He's right...never was about punishment at ALL! Ever.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.

Karma has become a reward/punishment mentality and frankly it's not much use Spiritually. What makes sense of it all is kamma-vipaka so if you want the 'real deal' that's worth a look at.
Since there's been so much wisdom about there being no time that has been posted on these here forums, if there is no time are there past lives? |

"Past lives" is meant in sequential terms, not in physical temporal terms. A "past life" could've been any "time" in physical temporal terms: future, past, alternate present.

Whatever you experience now is the result of your current level of development. When you grow, you're doing better; if you don't grow, you make mistakes and you experience their consequences. If you hit your finger with the hammer while nailing a board is because you're clumsy now, not because you're cheating on your wife (unrelated clumsy nailing).
Your past-lives mistakes don't hurt you in this life, as you didn't just have a nightmare because you did something bad in an earlier dream.
Karma (as whatever you experience now) isn't an opportunity, but a gauge of your current development.
I heard a tennis commentator claiming that one learns more from defeats than from victories. That's why he is a bad commentator and not a tennis champion, because he rationalized nonsense.

on the other hand it is much much easier to get a defeat than a victory, so, statistically speaking he was right because at least at the start even a pro gets beaten much more often than he has victories... and if he didn't learn from those defeats he would never go on to victory. |

A sequence of past lives is still time, only relative to the 'Soul' experiencing it. It's still a linear progression. Only when the 'Soul' experiences all their past lives in the same moment is there no time. In your perception, if 'this 'life' is different to 'that life' then you still have a perception of time relative to you rather than relative to to the temporal.
Our perception of time IS a sequence. |

They are two different sequences, in different frameworks. The physical time is like the time you experience in a video-game, or in a training program, compared to the time you are outside it.
It was incorrectly called "simultaneous" because, for example in school there is activity simultaneously in all the grades 1,2,3, ... But in each grade, in time, people who attend it keep changing.
People heard that misnomer and run away with it without comprehending.

The concept of past life therapy is very much related to traditional psychotherapy. The recall of emotionally important and often forgotten memories has a healing effect on present day symptoms. Past life therapy merely expands the arena beyond childhood and infancy into previous lives. ~ Dr. Brian Weiss
