Peter Kropotkin (1842–1921) was a Russian anarchist and philosopher who believed that mutual aid—helping and cooperating with others—was the key to human progress. Unlike capitalism, which focuses on competition, Kropotkin argued that people thrive through solidarity and working together.
His famous book, *Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution* (1902), challenged the idea that only the strongest survive. Instead, he showed how cooperation exists in nature and human societies, proving that kindness and teamwork are just as important as strength.
Kropotkin’s ideas inspired labor movements, anarchists, and socialists in the 20th century. Even today, his message matters: in a world of inequality and isolation, building strong communities and sharing knowledge can create a fairer, better future.
By spreading compassion and working together, we can follow Kropotkin’s vision—a world where everyone supports each other, not just the powerful few.
The first to apologize is the bravest. The first to forgive is the strongest. And the first to forget is the happiest.
Let me summarize a bit what has accumulated in my head. I was at a family constellations seminar recently, and the facilitator mentioned regression therapy, which prompted me to write this text.
Regression therapy is when you put a person into a trance, and they recall their past. In psychology, this refers to childhood traumas, while in esotericism, to past lives.
What I’ve understood is that there are two approaches to reincarnation: the first is linear (Judaism, Christianity, Islam), like a ray that has a beginning (Adam and Eve in Christianity) but no end. The end can be predicted end of times after Apocalypse. The other is non-linear (Hinduism and Buddhism), where you can be reborn in different eras, planets, and spaces.
They do not contradict each other; on the contrary, they complement each other.
In the linear approach, the lineage (family history) preserves memory; it has DNA. Like a life that originated with Adam and Eve and flowed through generations to present-day people – the energy of a family — for example, the tribes of Israel in the Old Testament. The lineage (family history) manifests like a water source in the subconscious, and by looking at a person’s associations with this source (e.g., muddy/clear), you can understand their attitude towards their family.
So, here’s the thing… is it possible to recall past incarnations, or is it just fantasy? I think regression therapy can be considered within the framework of the past that a person remembers. For instance, a grandmother was raped, and her granddaughter subconsciously avoids men. Or a girl grew up without a father and, in her adult life, subconsciously takes revenge on all men. Or working through the issue of a grandmother’s brother who was a criminal. Or a grandfather who hanged himself. All of this can be processed and released.
But when I hear stories about how someone was a queen or a witch in a past life (but never, for example, an ordinary housewife), I become skeptical. I also see this as fertile ground for charlatans to profit from a person’s desire for self-affirmation.
