Nibbana - does it exist?

[DaoYaoTao]

some contradiction here in your own statements.

@Mat

Even those who are not Stream entrants can see past lives. Non-Buddhists can see past lives as can little children sometimes! Sometimes with hypnotic regression from a past life therapist. So it would come before attaining Nibbana.

@Mat

We are all able to imagine thing- this doesn’t mean those imaginations are real. We are able to remember incidents from this life- but research shows these ‘memories’ aren’t actually accurate- they are fabrications ie ‘new’ creations from the old information, which aren’t even accurate.

@Mat

Now past life memories - the Buddha was asked about this and he told the Bhikkhu that they are fabrications (sankhara)- we experience them now as a new fabrication. The mere fact of being able to bring up information from the past only means that there is a flow of what I would call information or data.
