If you are a newcomer to this blog it will be very helpful to read my Introduction to these tips, and then my post "How to Use These tips."
Let me explain… In this writing I am about to delve into the idea of past lives and the concept that we are all eternal beings. Some of you may say “Well so what? What’s the big deal. I already knew that.” Others of you are about ready to close this blog, and walk away completely from the idea of listening to me ever, about anything. And that’s ok if you do that. But I make one small request before you go…Please read this writing to the end first.
I am going to go for the gusto, and address the Christian religion and the Bible here. Because I know the Christian religion and the interpretation of the Bible, is one of the big arguments that there are no past lives
Perhaps you have been brought up in a Christian church. And perhaps that church was very adamant… There is no such thing as reincarnation. There is one life, and only one life. And perhaps there are some references in the bible, the holiest of holy books, that seem to validate this idea of one and only one life.
I’m sure there are, and I am sure you could quote them, knowing the bible as well as many of you do. I am equally sure that some other bible aficionado could find some quotes that indicate the opposite, that we are all eternal beings with many lives. (The bible is chock full of opposites, as I recall from reading it cover to cover a few times in my younger years.)
Some of the bible I ardently loved. (Turn the other cheek. Love thy neighbor. Judge not that ye be not judged.) And some of the bible I just could not buy. I could not believe that a God of love would have a man very nearly chop off his own son’s head to prove a devotion to God. “What!?” I incredulously queried at the age of 11.
I also wasn’t buying the idea that a God of love would actively kill all of the Egyptian first sons. (Aren’t we ALL children of God and what monster would kill innocent babies?) I was not believing also that he would then leave his allegedly chosen people to wander starving in the desert for 40 years, as some warped form of punishment. “Say Whaaattt?” I once again exclaimed. Some say it was not 40 years, in a more accursate interpretation of the original text. But still, what loving father would cause his children starve and die, even for less than 40 years?
So now I’m going to say it.. The ultimate sacrilege to many of you. I know that, and I apologize in advance for any offense. But this MUST be said so that we can all move forward....
What's up with the Bible? (or at least with our interpretation of it.) Because some of what we as a society take from The Bible is clearly divine. And some of it is clearly not.
So I surmise that at the very least, 1600 years later (the new Testament was written approx 400 years after the fact) we are not understanding the Bible as it was meant to be understood.
And here’s what I think probably happened... We human beings got our hands on the bible, and WE mucked it up. We messed with the meaning of what that great book was supposed to say. We added, subtracted, & paraphrased. We did this accidentally out of our confused, fearful , pain-filled minds. And we did this on purpose sometimes, so that those of us in power could remain in absolute power.
The idea that we human beings warped the bible makes all kinds of sense. Because we human beings have been endowed with 100% free will. And we have some pretty warped beliefs and ways of thinking. Inside of that, we are often downright mean and nasty. (I am speaking about the darker, human part of each of us, not the lighter, Divine part.) So of course some of us would take advantage of our own free will to mess up such a beautiful thing as the Bible.
Now I know many of you are saying “You cannot question the bible. The bible is touched by God. It is divinely inspired, and therefore perfect in every way.” But consider this... Wouldn’t that line be a great one to feed to the people you wanted to dominate? Here's an example of what could be the thinking of such power-mongers...
“To be sure that people stay controlled, let’s also take away their right to question this Holy Book called the Bible; a book we have mercilessly corrupted for our darker, human purpose.”
If this was the case, the whole plot worked beautifully well for at least 2017 years, and counting. Not a bad result, one might say...
So back to the concept that we are eternal beings who have had many lives and existences. I don;t say that you should believe this. Many of us do believe it these days because we remember these past lives. We write books about them and some of us know every detail of several past lives. So that if you choose to believe there is one and only one life, you may now becoming the minority.
And yet I would never tell someone to change his or her spiritual or religious beliefs. I know these beliefs are sacred to many of us. And trust me, I spent a lot of years trying not to believe my seeming memories of past lives. But at some point there was so much evidence I was crazy to keep NOT believing it.
So what has to be said, has to be said. There are many of us who work in Personal Empowerment who see how these past lives affect us in the here and now. And it certainly looks like the stories, and false beliefs, and fears, and insecurities we took on a hundred or a thousand or ago live on and still color our lives today.
Here's why it looks that way to us...
Because when one of us here on earth identifies a past-life trigger or false belief, and fully removes it from the root or starting point, life alters appreciably for that person. I have done this for myself, and also caused it for others. For instance I used to have a gaping issue of money scarcity in my life. I had come so far in so many ways from where I started. But nothing I did would change the money issue; not affirmations, or transformational courses, or hypnosis, or Neuro-Linguistic Programming.
Then I saw a past life connection, an incident where I was 'trafficked" sexually as a female slave, and I had decided that taking money was dirty. (We have all had some pretty horrific experiences in our past lives, mixed in with the better ones.) In an instant I "got it". It was 100% true that energetically money had always felt dirty to me . So in some ways, I didn't really want money. I then let go of the idea that taking money was dirty, and voila, money began to flow.
In my humble opinion, there is no greater proof of past lives than that kind of an occurrence.
So Step # 10 to “Rise Above and Soar” is to release your ancient stuck past-life false beliefs and triggers. I can assist you with this, or direct you to other powerful resources. (Referring people to resources is something I often do, because in some ways we are all related and what's best for you is best for me.)
So jump on the bandwagon to believe that you are an eternal being with past lives, and release what keeps you stuck. Or disbelieve the idea, and possibly stay stuck ongoingly in some ways in your life. The choice is yours, brothers and sisters. But choose wisely. For as the 300 year-old knight in the movie Indian Jones once said...
“...the true Grail (or the belief that we are Eternal) will bring you life, the false Grail (or the belief that we are not) will take it from you (metaphorically speaking, of course.)”
As always, all of this is contributed to you from a place of humility. Yes I am a Transformational Personal Growth & Life Coach. However, when all is said and done, the biggest trainer we each have is that Higher & Divinely Connected Self within us.
Namaste and many blessings,
