Rules of the House about "Problems" Along the Spiritual Path
"I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these
brothers of mine, you did for me." (Matthew 25:40)
Your body is the temple of your spirit and as such is holy ground. Given
that your body is holy, no one has the right to violate it. Violations include
harming it in any way. Active harm includes such "crimes against the
body" as beatings, stabbings, strangulation, poisoning, violent
interrogation, and other acts carrying criminal penalties. It also includes
"invasive procedures" and/or "cutting edge cures" which claim to cure the
body by harming it (different from the temporary inconvenience,
permanent gain involved in healing). Passive harm includes acts
resulting in depriving a body of sleep, food, drink, love, air, protection from
nature, etc. You should completely resist anyone who harms your body
actively or passively.
Your mind is the guardian of your spirit and as such is holy ground. Given
that your mind is holy, no one has the right to violate it. Violations include
harming it in any way. Active harm includes feeding it mind altering
drugs, forcibly reprogramming it, exposing it to unwanted subliminals,
using domination type interrogation techniques, and other acts carrying
criminal penalties. Passive harm includes subtle manipulation used to
detach someone from core beliefs, thoughts, and attitudes, constantly
subjecting them to barrages of negative statements, convincing them that
they are worthless or anything less than a Divine Spark of God. You should
completely resist anyone who harms your mind actively or passively.
Your emotions are sent from your Higher Self to propel you along your
life's path and as such are sacred. Emotions should always be honored but
not always acted upon. Emotions act like pain in your body and suspicion
in your mind as a signal for you to take action that is in your own best
interests. When another suggests, asks, insists, or forces you to act
against your emotions, they are invading your sacred space. You have an
inalienable right to your emotions and to feel the way that you do. Often if
you just listen to your heart and what it feels, you will be led to the right
path. You should completely resist anyone who tries to get you to deny,
repress, minimize, convert, project, or dissociate from your
emotions.
Your spirit is the most sacred and holy part of you. Bodies can be killed.
Minds can be shattered. Emotions can lead to the path of tangled karma.
Yet in your Soul, you are always free, always safe, always loved. It is your
Divine Core Essence: it is eternal and indestructible. As you unfold into
greater awareness of your Soul, you will explore many paths of religion,
philosophy, and spirituality. Each of these paths will enrich your total life
experience and so you should be left to explore them in peace at your own
pace. You should not allow anyone to convince or convert you to their way
of thinking, believing, and being. What you think, believe, and have
chosen is perfect for you right now… honor that and keep your
Soul sacred.
5> YOUR BASIC RIGHT: YOUR LIFE
Once you are born into this Earth plane, you have a right to be here for as
long as your body-mind can sustain your life. This is true provided that you
do not deprive another of their rights while you are here. An integral part
of the dynamic of abuse and torture is a belief on the part of a torturer
that you do not have the your God given right to the life. This belief comes
from the mistaken idea that the tortured are somehow inferior to the
torturer. And so because the tortured are "children of a lesser God" they
do not deserve to enjoy the same right to life as their "superiors".
Take the case of the Nazi Holocaust. The beliefs which "justified" the
wholesale slaughter of Jews, gypsies, and others not "racially pure" were
these. That they were from a "lesser race" or were "not quite human" or
were "much less evolved" than their persecutors. The Nazi propaganda
machine was quite effective in convincing a nation that they were
participating in a "noble cause to rid the world of the plague of Zionists"
transforming normal, ordinary people into "Hitler's willing executioners".
The truth is that God is the only one who gives life… and those He
gives it to have a Divine Right to preserve it at all costs.
Those who live in "unfree" areas of the world can attest that freedom is an
essential component of happiness. In "free" societies, an individual's
liberty is only restricted by their inability to interfere with the rights of
others. In "unfree" societies, the individual spends a majority of their time
laboring against restrictions that are imposed by the society, religion, or
culture they have incarnated into.
Take the case of the American South. Not long ago, African Americans
were killed for exercising their right to vote or died because they could not
be admitted into the "right" hospitals or were beaten for sitting in the
"wrong" part of a bus or drinking from the "wrong" water fountain. More
insidious were the daily restrictions on individual freedom that came from
constant barrages of insults, criticism, and abuse. It is those small wounds
that fester in the mind and wear down body and spirit a little more each
day. The freedom to live your life as you chose is one of the most
precious gifts you can receive: cherish and defend it no matter
what.
What lies at the end of the trail of karma is happiness. For karma leads one
to their true freedom of living in a continual state of joy, love, and
awareness (the primary attributes of God). Historically speaking, the
"pursuit of happiness" is a new goal. For most of human history, existence
on Earth has been a grim and desperate struggle for survival… and in
many areas on Earth, this - unfortunately - is still true.
When he wrote the "Declaration of Independence", some laughed at
Thomas Jefferson for including the "pursuit of happiness" along with the
"more important goals" of securing life and liberty. And yet, today, the
pursuit of happiness has created more wealth and commerce than those
only devoted to the preservation of life and liberty. It has also opened up
the mass consciousness to greater levels of receiving and giving love. In
turn, this has helped many rapidly accelerate their karmic learning. There
is as much challenge in joy as in sorrow. Allow your life to flow in bliss
and abundance by letting go of those interfering with your joy!
All Souls are created equally and are equally loved by God. God does not
value Mother Theresa more and Adolf Hitler less. Both are Divine creations
and as such are equal in God's eyes. It is a truly loving God who creates a
universe vast enough to give everyone infinite chances to spin through
cycles of karma and reincarnation experiencing life from every viewpoint
until they become love, joy, and awareness.
It is only the torturer who sees inequality. For it is their belief in inequality
which allows them to view others of God's creation as undeserving of the
same rights they enjoy. Take the case of American slavery. Slaves were
considered property of their masters who were free to abuse them to
death. This freedom came from human laws which empowered masters to
abuse slaves. Karma works to reverse the fortunes of master and slave
until those participating in the dynamic of slavery are brought to value the
sacredness of all life equally. Anyone who tells you that you are "not
equal" to another of God's creatures should be resisted.
After your death the Gods (Lords of Karma) will say: "you played your part
well or badly". Then all they will say is "do better next time". For they
know that God does not create junk… only masterpieces. In God's eyes,
the bank president and the minister are as equally worthy of His Love as
are the terrorist and the crack whore. You are worthy because God made
you so, if you do not feel worthy, it is because others have made you feel
that way. Anyone who tries to convince you that you are "not
worthy" in yourself or of anything you desire should be resisted.
It is a maxim of psychology that every belief that you have comes from
somewhere in your experience. And, at one time, every thought, belief,
attitude, and behavior you have made perfect sense to you… even if they
do not make perfect sense to you now. Only in the context of past lives
can the truth of this maxim be seen.
For example, those compelled to hoard money in their life today invariably
had a traumatic death in the trail of their past lives caused by lack of
money. Or those who just cannot take off the weight are usually carrying
traumatic memories from past lives where they starved to death. Or those
who just cannot put on weight many times had past lives where it was
considered holy to starve the body into being ultra thin. No matter what
trouble those beliefs are causing in your life now, you are clinging to them
unconsciously because they have somehow served you in the past. Only
you can decide what beliefs do not serve you - otherwise those
seeking to detach you from your beliefs are your torturers.
The Earth is a big schoolhouse where we come to learn and grow in love,
joy, and awareness. When our learning does not go the way we expect, we
count it as a mistake. Yet, "making mistakes" is value judgment that we
place on the process of unfolding into Soul awareness. As we "correct
mistakes", we learn ways of thinking, doing, and being that are more in
harmony with how the universe works.
Experience becomes our greatest, truest, and best teacher about the laws
of life. For experience "shows" us how things work in ways that books
cannot tell us, that others cannot explain to us, and that we cannot "figure
out" in the silence of our minds. That is why Native Americans say "do not
judge another person until you have walked a mile in their moccasins".
That is why it is impossible for you to "tell" your children anything and why
you have to stand back and let them discover life through experiences for
themselves. That is what God does for all of us: allowing another to
have their own experience is the greatest gift of all.

Four Levels of Torture... Defend your rights!

"To put the world in order, we must put the nation in order. To put the nation in
order, we must put the family in order. To put the family in order, we must
nurture our personal life. To cultivate our personal life, we must first set our
hearts and minds right… Plant a thought, reap an act. Plant an act, reap a
habit. Plant a habit, reap a character. Plant a character, reap a destiny."
(Confucius)
Being true to yourself is remembering one thing: you exist because God
loves you… and with that love all things are possible. Before you read
another word, raise of a shield of pure and unconditional love all around
you: body, mind, emotions, and spirit. That's better… Filling yourself with
love is the first step is driving out the poison of hate that constantly
assaults us all.
For society tells us the infinite things that are wrong with us: we are too
fat, too dumb, too emotional, too old, too whatever and that is why we
have to get this, do that, or change who we are. This is not to mention
family, friends, coworkers, and others in our life who are telling us what to
do all the time. Of course, there is one enemy who is particularly relentless
towards us: ourselves.
We are our own worst enemy when we think, act, and treat ourselves as
anything other than Divine Beings. When we think "I have should have
done that" or "I could have done this" or "I would have done better if I do
not do that" or "If only I had" we are criticizing ourselves. This constant
internal criticism does "not make us do better", it only makes us more
fearful that "I am going to screw it up next time."
The next time you say "I should have", "I could have", "I would have"...
STOP beating yourself up! Say to yourself (aloud if you can) "CANCEL!"
Then tell yourself, "I did the best I knew how, I learned from it, next time I
will… [do better, learn from it, act differently, etc] and this will get me
what I desire to manifest in my life!" Defend your right to be yourself from
all the people who are telling you "you are wrong", including yourself. End
self criticism now before it kills you!!
The primary means for showing love to yourself is nurturing the body that
God gave you. Like it or not, your body is your vehicle for navigating your
way through life. For optimum performance and vitality, you should give it
regular maintenance. This means doing things like: constantly sustaining it
with vital life force by breathing properly, by drinking plenty of water, by
feeding it good food, by getting enough rest and exercise, by clothing and
sheltering it properly, and by nurturing it with loving touch. It means
taking active steps to protect it from harm. It also means acknowledging it
when it has "gone the extra mile" so that you could do whatever it was
you wanted to do. Treat your body like a beloved pet by patting it, saying
"I love you", and giving it special treats… you will be amazed by the
results!!
You have made mistakes… we all have. Louise Hay said it best: "Self
hatred is really only hating your own thoughts. Don't hate yourself for
having the thoughts. Gently change your thoughts. Acknowledge that you
created them to fulfill a need. Now you are finding new, positive ways to
fulfill those needs. So lovingly release the old negative patterns." If you are
not cultivating your mind to manifest your joyful desires then it will create
your life based on your worries. Choose love over fear and your life will
improve. This means doing basic things like: living life holistically,
managing stress, and using nature's way (aromas, oils, and herbals) to
help your mind retain/regain the composure needed to make good
decisions.
The word "emotion" means "energy in motion" as sent from your Higher
Self to propel you along your path in life. Emotions are also sent by your
ego ("lower self") to keep you safe and protected. Life often becomes a
conflict between these two conflicting sources of emotion: the
positive/loving (Higher Self) that prompts you to go for your future dreams
and the negative/fearful (ego) which begs you to stay with your current
reality. Stop living on the choppy seas of your emotions and sail your boat
into calm waters. You do not have to be a slave to your lusts, a captive to
your anger, a pawn of your greed, a victim of your vanity, or a prisoner of
your attachments. Just listen to emotions and then decide what to do
about them.
No one is perfect, not me and not you. No matter what you want to change
about yourself, it is of vital importance that you value yourself - just as you
are right now. Self acceptance is not getting back what you thought that
you had yesterday or achieving what you think you are wishing for
tomorrow, it means loving the self right now today. We are all a "work in
progress": changing every day and evolving into becoming who we already
are. As Louise Hay advises us: "Be gentle with yourself. Be kind to yourself.
Be patient with yourself as you learn the new ways of thinking. Treat
yourself as you would someone you really loved." Amen!
Although it may be hard to believe, the truth is that everyone does the
best they can with what they have. For everyone, including you, is just
living out what they have learned in this or previous lives. Compassion
comes when you realize that those who hate and hurt others are just
lashing out against times when they were hated and hurt themselves. For
it is then that you can see that "it is the pain talking" and not the person.
Given that you can understand that there are no truly bad people - only
people who say and do bad things - you can be compassionate towards
every person in every situation. Pouring the oil of compassion, tolerance, &
understanding on the troubled waters of daily life is the very essence of
unconditional self love.
Everyone is a spark of the Divine and brings a unique note to the universal
song we are all singing (notice that the word uni-verse means "one song").
This means that everyone has something valuable to contribute: in the
words of Thomas Carlyle: "everyone is my superior in that I may learn from
them". Unfortunately, the world is all too ready to teach us that others
should be discounted because they differ from us in some way (gender,
race, nationality, religion, etc) when we are all the same and equal as
Soul. That is why the word "Namaste" is such a powerful greeting because
it conveys respect in a very pure way. For when we respect ourselves and
others, we are acting from one of the deepest places of unconditional love.
In Louise Hay's words, "Let the past go. You did the best you could at the
time with the understanding, awareness and knowledge that you had. Now
you are growing and changing and you will live differently." Forgiveness
does not mean condoning what happened or just forgetting about it or not
learning from it. All of those are valuable lessons that you spent emotion
learning. What forgiveness means is releasing the anger and other
emotions that keep you stuck in unforgiveness of yourself or others.
Holding onto these toxic feelings will have no effect on the other person
and will not alter what you did or did not do. Holding onto unforgiveness is
deadly poison to your body, mind, and spirit: love yourself enough to let it
go.
Happiness is to be found in only one place: inside your own heart right at
this moment. So many people lose so much by waiting until I "get
healthier, find my dream partner, get a new job, get a new house, or lose
the weight, and so on". And when they get those things then they wait for
better ones until they learn the hard lesson that "happiness deferred is
happiness denied". So get happy: start now by doing more of the things
that make you happy on a daily basis. Look for joy everywhere. Laugh or
do a good deed just for fun! Love yourself enough daily to "smile, 'cause
when your smilin', the whole world smiles with you!"

Rules #43: Learning to Love Others: "For Love & Love Alone"
"To others we are not ourselves but a performer in their lives cast for a part we
do not even know that we are playing." Elizabeth Bibesco (Haven)
It is more difficult to SHOW that we love others. All it takes to show that we
love others is to "love one another; as I (God) have loved you." (Bible: John
13:34) Treating others with such loving kindness is easier said than done.
"For one human being to love another… that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the
ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation." (Rainer
Maria Rilke)
Everyone exists because God loves them and with that love all things are
possible. Everyone is perfect in God's eyes and is loved more than they
will ever know. We are our own worst enemy when we think, act, and treat
others as anything other than Divine Beings. When we think "I hate them"
or "They do not deserve to live" or "Too bad they are (fill in the blank)…
otherwise we could be friends" or "If only they were more like me" or "If
only they believed like me", we are saying the God made a mistake when
"they" were created.
Constant criticism of others does nothing to change them and it hurts us.
Being unloving to others is like taking poison and expecting them to die…
when it is you who will be harmed by the barrage of your unloving
thoughts towards them. To stem the tide of negativity towards others, you
need to start one thought at a time.
As you go throughout the day, for every person you see (yourself or
others) say silently to yourself "I love you as Soul". Soul Love is impersonal
and unromantic. You can love someone's Soul even if you actually hate
everything about them because their Soul is the "love" part of them. It is
the perfect part that God sees, that God knows, that God loves. That is
how you can connect with their worthiness and act as if they are worthy…
and really mean it (for more click here)!
2> LOVING OTHERS IS RESPECTING THEIR BODIES
"We too often love things and use people when we should be using things and loving people."
(Rueul Howe)
The primary means for showing love to others is respecting the body that
God gave them. To respect the bodies of others requires that you do it no
harm. Most would agree that doing obvious things like helping others to
breathe, eat, drink, sleep, get exercise, receive proper clothes and shelter
- especially where they have difficulty in doing this for themselves - shows
other people's bodies respect.
If you love the other person, contribute to their health by nurturing their
bodies with loving touch. Leo Buscaglia (the "Love Guru") has rightly said
that four hugs a day are the minimum for good health, 8 a day are really
needed, and 12 a day lead to personal empowerment (for more on loving
touch, click here).
To show love to another, work to encourage them to love their own bodies.
So often we join others in the present day trend of "woundology" (Caroline
Myss) where we trade stories about how ugly, bad, or imperfect our bodies
are.
Let's stop the insanity: love is the only way to respect bodies whether it is
yours or others. Think for a moment how hard it is for you is exist in a
world without love… this is often how your bodies live all the time. They go
on quite unappreciated: who can work well under those conditions? No
one!
3> LOVING OTHERS IS RESPECTING THEIR MINDS
We show the greatest respect to others when we refuse to keep their pain
alive… when we speak of ways that they can solve their problems and
move past their pain. Or when we show them the path to their own
empowerment or how to achieve their dreams… anything but nursing their
pain.
4> LOVING OTHERS IS RESPECTING THEIR EMOTIONS
"Love is the only satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence." (Erich Fromm)
Religious beliefs are the most sacred part of any individual. In many
different past lifetimes, I have been a Jewish rabbi, a Roman Catholic
priest, a Russian and Greek Orthodox priest, a Protestant minister, a
Buddhist monk, a Hindu cleric, a follower of Confucius, Lao Tse, Islam,
Sihkism, Shinto, and numberless other religious, spiritual, and
philosophical paths. I have translated religious texts (for the best of these,
click here) into many languages over the course of several lives.
I have great respect for all beliefs for all religious paths can lead one to a
greater love for God. I show this respect by not trying to convert others to
my point of view. For I know that each path contains it's own beauty and
offers it's own special gift to it's followers (for more on this, click here). I
have found that showing this respect is one of the greatest gifts of love
that I can give others.
6> LOVING OTHERS IS ACCEPTING THEM AS THEY ARE
"We love the things we love in spite of what they are." (Louis Untermeyer)
No one is perfect, not me, not you, not anyone else. No matter what you
dislike about others, it is of vital importance that you value others - just as
they are right now. For by doing so, that is how we create peace within our
own hearts. The fact is that we all are - from the saints to the sinners - a
"work in progress": changing every day and evolving into becoming who
we already are.
As Philo the philosopher advises, "be kind, for everyone you meet is
fighting a hard battle." When you can accept others just as they are right
now, this is the ultimate way of respecting the hard battle that they are
fighting. If you can think of them as Soul, as a being struggling as you are,
you will find that it is not so very hard to achieve this level of acceptance.
7> LOVING OTHERS IS SHOWING THEM KINDNESS
"All disease is related to a lack of love… all healing to giving & receiving unconditional love."
(Bernie Siegel)
Love is the most powerful force in the universe. It is the universal solvent
which cuts through all hate, all fears, all obstacles, all difficulties. Where
difficult, problematic relationships exist, it is due to the absence of love
energy between us and others. By always holding thoughts of loving
kindness toward others in your heart, you rebuild the love energy bridges
between you and other(s).
This dissolves away the problems between you and others like magic -
without you trying to change them (which would be a form of psychic
attack and bad karma). Giving unconditional love to others is the greatest
gift that you could ever give them.
8> LOVING OTHERS IS SHOWING THEM COMPASSION
"Love is the strongest force the world possesses, and yet it is the humblest imaginable."
(Mohandas Gandhi)
Although it may be hard to believe, the truth is that everyone does the
best they can with what they have. For everyone is just living out what
they have learned in this or previous lives. Compassion comes when you
realize that those who hate and hurt others are just lashing out against
times when they were hated and hurt themselves. For it is then that you
can see that "it is the pain talking" and not the person.
Given that you understand there are no truly bad people - only hurting
people who say and do bad things - you can be compassionate towards
every person in every situation. Pouring the oil of compassion, tolerance,
and understanding on the troubled waters of daily life is the very essence
of loving others.
9> LOVING OTHERS IS SHOWING THEM RESPECT
"Love is the extremely difficult realization that something other than oneself is real." (Iris
Murdoch)
Everyone is a spark of the Divine and brings a unique note to the universal
song we are all singing (notice that the word uni-verse means "one song").
This means that everyone has something unique and valuable to
contribute. Even though you may not understand their contribution or
believe it is valuable, know that it is.
Unfortunately, the world is all too ready to teach us that others should be
discounted because they differ from us in some way (gender, race,
nationality, religion, etc) when we are all the same and equal as Soul. That
is why the word "Namaste" is such a powerful greeting because it conveys
respect in a very pure way. For when we respect ourselves and others, we
are acting from one of the deepest places of unconditional love.
10> LOVING OTHERS IS ACTING TO FREE THEM
"Love is like water in the hand. Leave the fingers open and it stays, clutch it and it darts away."
(Dorothy Parker)
One of the highest forms of unconditional life is to prepare your loved ones
to live without you. For only when those you love are completely self
reliant are they totally free, safe, and protected for the rest of their lives
(for more on what it means to be self reliant, click here). Even if that
freedom means that they walk away from you forever, you have given
them gifts that will help them wherever they go.
If you truly love them, then you should want them to be free. Free to make
their own choices, even if it means making mistakes. Free to find their own
love, even if it means feeling heartbreak. Free to live their own life on their
own terms, even if that life will bring them pain, especially if you can see it
and they cannot. For love with freedom is the only way that it can be truly
unconditional.
11> LOVING OTHERS IS SHOWING THEM FORGIVENESS
"Love means never having to say that you are sorry." (Erich Segal)
What keeps us firmly stuck to our negative baggage is the fact that we
cannot forgive others for somehow failing us. Sincere, heartfelt forgiveness
is the solvent that unsticks our fingers from this baggage, allowing us to
drop it. Dropping it is the best thing that we can do for ourselves and
others. Forgiveness does not mean condoning what happened or just
forgetting about it or not learning from it. All of those are valuable lessons
that we spent emotion learning.
"For one human being to love another… that is perhaps the most difficult of all
our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other
work is but preparation."
(Rainer Maria Rilke)
For at the beginning, in the end, and all throughout our personal trek the
reason behind everything we have learned, endured, suffered, and
triumphed becomes clear. No matter where we are, no matter what we are
doing, being, or becoming, we are growing in our ability to love so that we
can become an ever better CoWorker with God as we serve in the
unfolding majesty of His/Her Creation.
"Believe in no other God than the one who insists on justice and equality for all." (George
Sand)
All religion, philosophy, and spirituality can be summed up this way: "Only
love is real. All we have is this moment now. Choose love at every
moment." That is easy to teach but hard to live. Therefore most of these
systems go for the opposite: something easy to live (to attract and retain
followers) and something hard to teach (to keep the "shamans" - the ones
who know the system - employed).
Since daily life is often enough of a challenge, the relative ease of the
man-made systems helps it's followers to get what they need and to learn
what they can from life. Eventually, after many incarnations, if there is one
thing that karma ingrains in us, it is the necessity of acting at all times for
the highest good of all concerned.
For the greatest good is the centerpoint of all existence and the place
where love flourishes the best. What is the greatest good is always a
judgment call: one that only lifetimes of experience can help us to make
with the highest accuracy and the greatest consistency. For it is by our
choices that we are judged. And it is our choices that determine how we
best can serve as a CoWorker with God.
2> SELF MOTIVATION: ALWAYS LENDING A HELPING HAND
"'Let me help'… we'll recommend those three words even over 'I love you'." (Classic Star
Trek)
"I love you" is perhaps the most overused and misused phrase in any
language. It is so easy to say those words and often so hard to mean
them. That is because meaning them generally requires us to take action
to give those words meaning. The actions that we choose to take as well
as those we avoid taking are usually the truest measures of our love. It is
our actions that reveal our hearts: when we say "let me help" and we do it,
that shows our love far more than any telling can do.
When we stand by loved ones "in sickness and in health, for richer and for
poorer", we show them more than words can say that our love is real…
and when we fail to, we show everyone that it is not. If we act to prevent
or end situations that put our loved ones in the way of harm, we again
show others the quality of our love. It is all too easy to turn a blind eye or a
deaf ear and say "that's not my problem".
Being a CoWorker means "lending a hand" wherever you are because you
will not pass that way again. It means that because God has put you where
you are, you have agreed to do your best to help however you can. It
means deciding to lend a hand… not having to be told to do so.
3> SELF INTEGRITY: HONESTY & TRUTH ABOVE ALL
"This above all: be true, be true, be true." (Nathaniel Hawthorne)
So the only one we can ever deceive by departing from truth is ourselves
until the weight of karma shows us the futility of doing so. When we begin
to connect with truth, we find that it exists at many different levels. As we
unfold into this greater awareness of truth, our perception of it changes as
our consciousness expands. Truth remains the same: we are just able to
see it better as the scales of illusion fall away. The more we connect with
truth, the better we become as coworkers.
4> SELF DISCRETION: BALANCING SPEECH & SILENCE
"Language is the blood of the soul into which thoughts run and out of which they grow."
(Oliver Wendell Holmes)
Words are the vital connection between actions and truth for "as we
believe, so shall we do". Nothing manifests into the universe without
thoughts. And thoughts cannot be communicated into action without the
words expressing the ideas.
"I am endued with such qualities that if I were turned out of the realm in my petticoat, I were
able to live any place in Christendom." (Queen Elizabeth I)
Courage is the fuel that gives us strength to make our journey through the
universe as we explore the worlds of karma and reincarnation. If you feel
you are lacking in courage, know that coming to Earth to have a spiritual
experience was in and of itself a great act of bravery. Aristotle said that
"courage is the first among human qualities because it guarantees the
others". Courage is the golden thread that draws us ever higher into the
inner realms and helps us be better CoWorkers with God.
6> SELF BALANCE: SERVING AS HUMBLE INSTRUMENTS
"We are all but humble instruments in the service of God." (Thomas Jackson)
All Souls are created equally and are equally loved by God. God does not
value Mother Theresa more and Adolf Hitler less. Both are Divine creations
and are equal in God's eyes. It is only humans who make value judgments
about the merit of individual lives labeling them saint or sinner, great or
small, good or evil. The spinning wheel of karma works to reverse fortunes
until we are brought to the place of loving service as humble instruments
working with God to cocreate the universe.
7> SELF IMPROVEMENT: BECOMING STATE OF THE ART
"The great lesson that nature seems to teach us at all ages is self-dependence, self-protection,
self-support." (Elizabeth Cady Stanton)
The most terrible truth that anyone will learn is… they agreed to
experience all that has, is, and will happen to them. The universe operates
under this simple rule: "all that happens is by prior agreement". These
agreements are made with one simple purpose: to teach the individual to
become whole and complete within themselves as they unfold along with
the constantly changing universe. For the more complete we become
within ourselves, the better we become as CoWorkers with God.
9> SELFLESS COMPASSION: ALL ARE CONNECTED
"I have seen the face of the enemy and I find that we are they." (Anonymous)
All roads lead back to God... but all roads are not the same nor do
individuals travel along the roads in the same way. Whether we realize it or
not, all of us are seekers after truth and each will come to truth in the way
that is best for them.
One of the greatest acts of love we can do for another is to show them
how to be complete within themselves. As the old adage goes: "catch a
fish for a person and you feed them for a day… teach them to fish and you
feed them for a lifetime."
"I shall do good, I shall do His work; I shall be an angel of peace, a preacher of truth in my
own place… if I do but keep His commandments and serve Him in my calling." (John Henry
Newman)
The fastest way to step into the flow of love is by the work that we do for,
by it's very nature, our work is what engages the majority of our time.
Having the discipline to give loving service first, last, and always is what
prepares us "the work for which all other work is but preparation":
CoWorkership with God.

You heal for two reasons. One, you believe you deserve to heal and that
belief manifests as your desire to be healed. Two, your desire to be healed
manifests as action on your part to get healed. So many people delay,
deny, and diffuse their healing because, at bottom, they do not want to
live. The desire for healing is truly the desire for living. You will only heal if
you really want to live.
No one outside of you can take responsibility for your problems. This
means that no one outside of you can really heal you. The truth is that
healers are merely facilitators and vehicles for your healing. Healers can
advise you, counsel you, and prescribe treatments for you but they cannot
heal you. Only you can heal the spiritual cause ("as above") of your body-
mind problem ("so below").
When you go to see a healer, you go for a few hours a week at most
(unless you are seriously ill). So do the math: the rest of the time your
healing is totally up to you. It's your job to take the medicine the healer
has prescribed. It's your job to do the things the healer has told you to do.
It's your job to assess if the healer is helping you or if you should find
another one. So if you are not getting the results you want from your
healing, the first place to look for answers is in the mirror.
Looking back one hundred years ago, we are amazed that anyone could
believe that you could heal the body without healing the mind. Looking
forward one hundred years from now, people will be amazed that anyone
could believe that you could heal the body and the mind without
addressing the spiritual issues arising from the manner in which you
conduct your life. Your body, mind, and spirit are intimately connected and
act as one. Your body-mind-spirit connect you to your lessons, your path,
and to the oneness of the universal collective consciousness.
6> YOU WILL NOT HEAL IF YOU DO NOT LEARN YOUR LESSONS
The Earth is a big schoolhouse. You are here to learn lessons (if you have
not already consulted Rules #1 for Being Human, please do so). There are
many ways for you to learn your lessons. You can learn through pleasure
or pain. The God Self within you, your Higher Self, is the one who sent you
the problem to be healed to advance your learning. So the best way to
heal your problems is to accept that you have lessons to learn and to do
your best to master them.
Your life is always up to you: do not ever allow anyone to convince you
otherwise. Too many people too often allow those in the healing
professions to define their lives by accepting the life or death sentences
the healers decree. Only God is perfect: any human healer can be wrong
(even me).
Case in point: if I had believed my doctors I would have died by 21, yet
somehow I have lived to be 42+. I lived because I accepted that I had
caused my problems and the answers to them lay within me. I was born
deeply wounded because I had wounded others… but it was my wounds
that led to my gifts. I healed because I forgave myself. I forgave myself
because God loved and forgave me.
Benjamin Franklin said "God does the work (of healing) and the physician
takes the fee". And it's true. Your body-mind was designed to be a self-
maintaining system, automatically correcting for the problems inevitable
to your existence on Earth. In fact, the truth is that you are always sick
because your body-mind is in a continual state of fighting off threats from
your environment.
The energy field that surrounds, penetrates, and binds your body-mind-
spirit is in a perpetual state of activity. It is constantly in motion,
continuously taking in and sending out vibrating energy waves. It
processes signals of energy created by your actions, your thoughts, and
your emotions as well as by your environment and lifestyle choices (food,
sleep, exercise, etc).
10> GREATEST HEALING TOOLS YOU HAVE ARE LOVE AND JOY
One of the best physicians there is has the sign saying "Laughter is the
Best Medicine" prominently displayed in his office. That's just goes to
prove that the best things in life are still free - even in a doctor's office!
When people come to me for healing, I always know that those who can
laugh about their ills and have a sense of humor about their problems will
do the best. No matter what treatment you are on, it can always be
improved by "a smile a day to keep the doctor away".
Most view healing as a process of just "repairing" problems. Yet when all
the repairs are completed, continuing the healing process takes you to the
next level of your growth and enhancement. The universe is a
continuously unfolding and expanding creation and there is always more
to explore and to grow. Healing is the means to get you there: it becomes
a journey and not just a destination.
If you are not convinced that these rules are for real, see how they relate
to the Top 10 Causes of Death... take a few minutes to save your life.
If you want to clear, heal, and balance your karma, there are additional
rules you will need to consult... the Rules of Past Life Healing.

Rules# 7: Rules for Illness - What You Need to Know If You are Ill
The first thing anyone asks once they have contracted a serious illness is
"Why me?" The question gets asked without the person expecting the
answer. Yet there is an answer and it is "you agreed to it in advance for
your own growth". This is directly contrary to the strongly held societal
belief that illness is something that "happens to us", that somehow it is
outside ourselves.
The truth is that your illness has everything to do with you. Your illness has
been directed at you by spirit. Usually you agreed to it before you
incarnated here. Or more often you contracted it while you were "down
here" because you strayed from your path. Your illness is meant to propel
you on a journey of self-discovery. If you cannot accept this, then your
illness will be harder than it has to be.
If you have ever noticed that most people seem to be in a perpetual state
of complaining about their lives, it is because they have "forgotten" why
they are here. People are here on Earth to learn lessons and, in general,
have chosen to accept experiences that are harder than they can handle -
hence the complaints.
This usually manifests as a profound state of dis-ease with their life. This
feeling of dis-ease, if deep and long standing, manifests as illness.
Thoroughly joyful, ecstatic people are usually in great health. If they do
have serious illness, it is because they have chosen it at the level of spirit
to advance their learning (and they know it!).
When we are babies, most of us are bathed in love. Babies are totally
focused on getting and giving love every moment of every day. Often, they
get touched, hugged, and kissed more as babies than they will for the rest
of their lives. In return, babies are absolutely not afraid to give love or to
get it.
Even when we are receiving and giving our minimum daily requirement of
love, we still can be starved for another vital nutrient. This is the inherent
need in each one of us to find purpose and meaning in our lives.
At some point as we grow older, we must ask ourselves: "Am I leading the
life I want to lead?" and "Am I the person that I want to be?" If the answers
to these two questions are "No", this never fails to induce a profound state
of dis-ease in our lives. Either we take the action that is needed to turn
those "No-s" into "Yes-es" or illness will manifest in our bodies-minds.
It is amazing how readily when can accept that this is true for other people
and not for ourselves. It makes sense to us that women we know, who
cannot accept their femininity, contract breast and/or ovarian cancer or
that men who, struggle with their masculinity, contract prostate cancer. Or
that those who have been inflexible all their lives manifest the rigidity in
their bodies as arthritis. Or that those who have difficulty speaking up for
themselves end up with throat cancer.
Yet, we all have a blind spot when it comes to ourselves that keeps us from
seeing how our conduct is helping or harming our overall health. The truth
is "the fault lies not in our stars, but in ourselves..."
Unless you are on the brink of death, before you seek a cure by chopping
(major surgery), burning (laser/radiation), or poisoning (hard "drugs")
your body or mind, first give peace a chance. You owe it to yourself to seek
cures that work with your body and mind instead of against them.
If you are looking for a miracle cure, here it is: "Choose to love at every
moment: forgive everyone, everything." This magic cure will speed you
through whatever lessons you have to learn. When you have learned your
lessons, the clouds of illness hanging over you will magically part - with
one important exception. That is where death has been deemed as the
ONLY way for you to learn. Yet we are all creators here so anything is
possible. See the "Rules #1 for Being Human"...
9> MORE SERIOUS THE ILLNESS=GREATER NEED FOR CHANGE
In the spirit worlds, those on the Earth plane with serious illnesses are
called butterflies. This is because illness has put them into a cocoon of
survival. To keep on living, the "butterfly" must struggle and force it's way
out of the cocoon by learning the lessons that life has to teach. The more
serious the illness, the greater the need to change ways of life that no
longer serve the individual.
Illness used to be the greatest excuse in my arsenal for not living. As long
as I ignored it, illness clung to me. Once I "listened" to it, my illness fell
away. So no excuses: just choose to live!!! For more, see the "Rules for
Recovery"!
The saying the "ignorance of the law is no excuse" is never more true than
when it comes to illness. Illnesses run like trains on a predefined track with
predetermined timetables. While you choose to ignore the illness, it keeps
going, chugging on schedule down the track. Ignoring it never stops the
illness train. What stops it is a conscious desire on your part to switch to a
safer length of track.
You are the only one who lives inside your skin: 7 days a week, 24 hours a
day. When it comes to diagnosing and treating your condition, the
difference between you and your doctor/healer is that they have read
more books than you have and they have more practical experience with
healing dis-eases than you have.
If you are not covinced that these rules are for real, see how they relate to
the Top 10 Causes of Death... take a few minutes to save your life.

information
If you could solve the problem on your own, you would have. When you
cannot, you need to get help. In the language of 12 Steps, "we came to
believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to a joyous
and peaceful way of thinking and living ". We promise ourselves "we will
not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it". We choose to know
"faith instead of despair".
Knowing that you need help is no good unless you are open to receiving it.
Openness to receiving help always involves courage to make an
extraordinary leap of faith. For to heal, we must put ourselves in the hands
of others. In the language of 12 Steps, "we made a decision to turn our will
and our lives over to the care of this power of our own understanding". So
we promise ourselves "we will fully comprehend the word serenity". We
choose to know "courage instead of fear".
Your illness and your problems are intensely personal and meant to propel
you on a journey of learning (see the "Rules #7: Illness"). You cannot heal
the problem unless you are willing to discover it's inner cause. You cannot
discover the inner cause unless you are willing to look within. In the
language of 12 Steps, "we made a searching and fearless moral inventory
of ourselves". We promise ourselves "we will know peace". We choose to
know "peace of mind instead of confusion".
Changing for the better is simple but often hard to do. It is simply this:
"Choose to love at every moment: forgive everyone, everything". For
negative emotions - like fear, hate, anger - lie at the bottom of illnesses
and love is the cure. In the language of 12 Steps, "we were entirely ready
to have all these defects or character removed". We promise ourselves
"the feelings of uselessness and self-pity will disappear ". We choose to
know "self-confidence instead of helplessness ".
Change can happen in an instant. To make sure that the change lasts, we
need the help of God and all other people in our lives to keep our feet
planted on the path of change. For know that if we do not stick to the
necessary changes we have agreed to make in our lives, our problems will
return to us. They return until we have learned our lessons or our bodies-
minds have no choice but to die. If we die, it so that we can get another
chance to learn to love. In the language of 12 Steps, "we humbly asked
God to remove our shortcomings". We promise ourselves "we will lose
interest in selfish things and gain interest in others". We choose to know
"the respect of others instead of their pity and contempt".
8> PUT THE PAST BEHIND YOU AND MAKE A NEW START
You life can only begin anew once you have agreed to put the past behind
you. You cannot change the past, you can only become willing to make
amends for it. Others may or may not forgive you. Whether they do or not,
realize that you are making amends primarily for your peace of mind and
to ingrain in you the habit of always projecting love. In the language of 12
Steps, "we made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing
to make amends to them all". We promise ourselves "self-seeking will slip
away". We choose to know "a clean conscience instead of a sense of guilt"
because today is the first day of the rest of our life.
Our bodies and minds were not meant to hold negative emotions - they
were meant to receive and give love unconditionally. We cannot heal our
bodies-minds as long as we continue to drink in the poison that sustained
negative emotions and bad treatment of ourselves and others produce in
us. In the language of 12 Steps, "we made direct amends to such people
(including ourselves) wherever possible, except when to do so would injure
them or others". We promise ourselves "our whole attitude and outlook on
life will change". We choose to know "friendships instead of loneliness"
because we know that we are loving and loveable.
11> GOD WILL ALWAYS HELP YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
If you are not covinced that these rules are for real, see how they relate to
the Top 10 Causes of Death... take a few minutes to save your life.
So let's take the guesswork out of it... Let's see what happens when we do
not honor ourselves, when we let our chakras and auras go to "hell in a
handbasket", when we fail to heed the call of Soul and live as we know we
"should".
The energy field (otherwise known as the aura) that surrounds, penetrates,
and binds the body-mind-spirit is in a perpetual state of activity. It is
constantly in motion, continuously taking in and sending out vibrating
energy waves through openings in the aura (otherwise known as chakras).
The human energy field processes signals of energy created by one's
actions, thoughts, and emotions as well as by one's environment and
lifestyle choices (exercise, food, sleep, etc). When someone thinks and
chooses in a manner that is consistent with love and with their agreed
upon path in life, they experience abundant energy and vibrant health.
It is the ability to love that keeps the energy chakras open and flowing. So
when one thinks and chooses from fear, power, lack, negativity, or
selfishness, the flow of energy is blocked. Dis-ease then occurs in the
body-mind due to imbalances and blockages in the energy field resulting
from how little one has honored the needs of body-mind-spirit and
respected their path.
These blockages deprive the area of the body-mind being fed by the
chakra by restricting the flow of energy to below what is necessary for
good health. Since there is more than one chakra, energy will continue to
reach the total body-mind despite the blockages. However, the areas
around the blocked chakra slowly get diseased. Such blockages do not
occur evenly or randomly across the body. They occur in the chakra
associated with "the area of life" where the individual is not acting in a
manner that is consistent with love and/or their path in life.
Just because someone incarnates into a male or female body, it does not
make them a man or a woman. To become a man or a woman means
embracing their body's gender with a glad heart while being grateful for
the lessons it will bring. Yet, in past lives, most of us usually develop a
preference for one gender over the other.
Remember when you were young and had lofty dreams of "what you were
going to be when you grew up"? If you are like most people, somewhere
along the way, you look up and realize that not only have you failed to
achieve your dreams but that your life is a nightmare. Who grows up
wanting to be a "corporate kiss ass", a "back stabber", a "spineless yes
person", a "hanger on for retirement"?
The dynamic of the universe is this… we are all individual sparks of God,
all connected, just all separate at the same time. This creates a natural
tension between our need to honor our own needs versus honoring the
needs of others. Almost all of us come into this life with a strong tendency
from past lives either to usually put others ahead of ourselves or usually
put ourselves ahead of others.
When we always sacrifice ourselves for others, we eat away at our own
self esteem by caring too much about other's opinions and expectations.
This eating away at ourselves often manifests quite literally in our
physiology as stomach cancer and gastric or peptic ulcers. On the other
hand, when we put our needs ahead of others, we may put undue
attention on ourselves that can take life threatening turns as in the case of
eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia.
Usually, this is caused by our inability to love ourselves. Since we all are
constantly picking up so much "negative programming" from our families,
our friends, our schools, and our society, that it is no wonder we fail to
love ourselves. For if we are not as successful as Bill Gates or as gorgeous
as a Barbie doll or having emerged from past lives as strong as Hercules,
we inevitably feel "less". It is long held feelings of internal dis-ease in our
minds that manifest as disease in our hearts.
Speaking up for ourselves is the most effective way of letting others know
of our wants and our needs. It saves time and energy and takes the
guesswork out of others interpreting our grunts and groans. It was the
reason that language evolved.
Speaking up for ourselves is not just telling others mundane things like
"pass the ketchup". It involves "carving out and defending" a sacred space
for ourselves. As in telling others when they have hurt us, especially as to
why and how they have treated us when it is unacceptable and has
violated our sacred space.
Shutting the eyes and closing the ears to the call of spirit often leads to
"real" problems with our eyes and ears. The truth is most vision and
hearing problems are the result of the person's desire to avoid looking at
or listening to the truth about some aspect of their life. Dealing only with
the symptoms (getting eyeglasses or hearing aids) "masks" the problem
without solving it.
The real tragedy is that such "eye/ear care solutions" fits in perfectly with
the mass conscious belief that sight and hearing problems are the natural
result of aging. Whereas what is usually true that as we age we become
"set in our ways", and it is actually this inflexibility that is responsible for
our vision and hearing "impairment".
Sight and hearing loss are only permanent for those who have "shut their
eyes" and have "closed their ears" to the call of spirit and to the possibility
that 10,000 others - who say eyes and ears can never be healed - are
wrong.
Likewise shutting out the call of spirit can result in blinding, migraine
headaches as the war rages on between mind (which responds more to
our "lower ego") and body (which responds more to our "Higher Self"). The
Crown Chakra is always the focal point of such a war because it is the
point when divination "ends" (one's connection to the collective
consciousness) and "individuation" begins (one's own unique individuality,
the note one's brings to the universal song).
This war can rage throughout the entire nervous system effecting all the
nerves and the spine. In extreme cases, it can manifest as Multiple
Sclerosis and Parkinson's Disease. These diseases are usually found in
spiritually advanced individuals who are so attached to their ego that they
believe and act as if it were possible for them to control everything. (FYI,
that is a job reserved for God!)
The only way to break down such "hard heads and willful hearts" is to
show them, in a way they cannot ignore, that they are more than this.
That they are more than their mind, their body, their heart… they are
Souls and CoWorkers with God.
It is most often our "skin and bones" that show the "years and mileage"
that we have undergone in our physical existence. Take Skin Cancer which
often strikes those in "trapped" in life situations that have been "eating
away at them" for years: it is the simply outer manifestation of the inner
pain. Or Bone Diseases which often strike those with unhealed past lives
gnawing away at them deep inside.
They "ramp it up" by reckless spending (which leads to death more often
than is reported), risky sex (which leads to disease or to "Mr. Goodbar"), or
extreme sports (let's be honest: the news is littered with stories of those
who "tragically" died young). Either way self destructive emotions are the
true cause of death.
Some in the psychology field believe that "all behavior comes from
somewhere" and that "on the inside all behavior makes sense." Often the
"somewhere" is past lives. Take Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: OCD in
this life is usually directly traceable back to a past life where the
disempowering trait or behavior was created. The trait was created in the
past to empower the person to either live through a life threatening
situation or to prevent them from re-experiencing a traumatic death in
future. Problems crop up when this "cellular learning" inherited from past
lives are no appropriate in the context of the present life.
Less extreme forms of mental problems can also have their origins in past
lives. Take those who suffer from Alzheimer's Disease. They often choose
to incarnate into situations where they are bound to repeat old patterns to
see if they can transcend their inflexibility. After living a lifetime, it is often
crystal clear as to whether the individual has or has not transcended their
"unwanted" patterns.
Contracting Alzheimer's Disease is the usual penalty when they have not…
a similar more drastic but less common penalty is Depersonalization
Disorder (disconnection from one's mental processes). Other "blasts from
the past" into mental states are phobias (which 9 times out of 10
originated in past lives) and paranoia (past life conditioning to always
expect the worst case scenario).
The Etheric Body is the final frontier between the worlds of reincarnation
and karma and the pure realms of Soul. During sleep, people are in the
closest contact with these Soul realms. So when those of us on the Earth
are "going out of control" from the universal perspective, what is a Soul to
do? If it is inconsistent for our life path for us to contract an illness, Soul
tries to reach us through our dreams.
By nature, dreams are fragile, foggy things that are usually confusing and
are quickly forgotten. To get our attention through dreams, they need to
be dramatic and repetitive. If we ignore them, they can become recurring
nightmares and/or sleep disorders. Sleep deprivation over a long enough
period of time usually forces us to pay attention. Unfortunately, it can lead
to hallucinations. If we experience these hallucinations, and it is
determined that our mind is not breaking down, it is likely that "inner
beings" (angelic or demonic) are trying to contact us directly.
The Get-Out-of-Hell-for-FREE-Card
If you have recognized your disease above - and how you have
participated in it's creation - you have taken the first step toward freeing
yourself from your own personal hell. There is only one way to get out of
hell for good and that is to accept that you are totally responsible for all
that has happened to you. When you have learned all that your illness has
to teach you then you can become free from it.
As long as you think that it has happened to you "by accident", that it is
"random", or it is a "cruel joke played on you by the God and/ or the
universe", you will never get out of hell. If you hold such beliefs but have
failed to get out of hell on your own, why not try accepting responsibility
for your problems?
For each cause, the spiritual reason for it is given. If you have one or more
of these conditions, I urge you to look inside and see if - maybe - this
applies to you.
The heart "is the first thing in us to have life, and which has dominion over
all the body." So it "should be the first and the last to love and worship
God, both when we begin and end our actions, be they spiritual or bodily,
and generally in all the affairs of life." The heart was designed to receive
and give love unconditionally.
2> CANCER…
Failing to Take Action to Solve Long Standing Life Conflicts
It is "no accident" that since stroke "victims" do not honor their bodies or
minds as the temples of spirit they are, the temples collapse around them.
Unfortunately, it is only when the temple of the body and mind are
permanently damaged by stroke that they learn this lesson - in this life if
they are lucky, in the next if they are not.
Just as cancer is the inability to deal with long standing problems, fatal
bouts of pneumonia and influenza usually result from an individual's
inability to handle multiple fears and challenges overwhelming them in a
shorter, more compressed timeframe. Usually the person is drowned in the
flood of emotions (fear, anxiety, panic) that engulf them. The "internal
floods" manifest as severe lung congestion which cuts off their connection
to breath and ultimately their connection to life.
If diabetics had their own theme song, it might be this one from Henry
Purcell: "a person of sorrow and acquainted with grief…" Many diabetics
will tell you that the restrictions they endure with this disease are cause
enough for their sadness. And yet it is the sadness from many lifetimes
that has usually caused them to contract this disorder. The bodies of
diabetics cannot handle sugar because they cannot connect with life's
sweetness. Aside from love, it is joy and happiness that are the most
necessary "spiritual" nutrients that are required to sustain life. So the best
advice for diabetics is to "stop worrying and get happy".
In the course of many lifetimes, we have been and will be all things - from
a mass murderer to a saint (and yes, it is possible for the same individual
to have had incarnations as each… one is personally known to me!). It is
no accident that AIDS and HIV originated in the gay community as the
primary lessons of those in "alternative lifestyles" is self discovery and self
acceptance. Those who become "tired" of constantly fighting off the
rejection and criticism from others manifest this weariness in their bodies.
At the same time, their bodies become unable to fight off threats from the
environment and become "self" rejecting. The inevitable result of this self
rejection can be nothing but fatal, nothing but death.
Cirrhosis of the liver is the ultimate disease of choice. For those who get it
have chosen consistently to "drown their sorrows in a bottle" rather than
facing them. For those in life situations or places in the world where
hopelessness, misery, and despair are the daily diet getting drunk may
seem a sensible alternative. And death that lies waiting at the bottom of
the glass may seem to be the only true hope.
There is a common misconception that the body is a machine and that the
organs handle only physical functions. The truth is the organs also process
an individual's emotions and can get easily overloaded when the individual
is emotionally "out of control". This is especially true of the often besieged
kidney whose job it is to remove waste from the body. The most toxic
emotional waste products are anger and hate which are lost opportunities
to move a person toward forgiveness and tolerance. If these toxic
emotions are "indulged" in excessively and consistently, they will deluge
the kidney and cause it to fail.
10> LUNG DISEASE…
Failing to Fully Take in Life due to Feelings of Unworthiness
Credits: adapted from information from the United States National Center for Health
Statistics, Louise Hay's Book "You Can Heal Your Life", and channeled information
Every attitude and belief you have comes from somewhere sometime.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in this lifetime is usually directly
traceable back to a past life where the disempowering trait or behavior
was created. The spiritual purpose of OCD is force the individual to seek
the answer to why they are now being "plagued" with thoughts and
behaviors that they have no control over.
When the life lesson associated with OCD has been fully learned and
"absorbed" into the individual's body-mind, the "disempowering" trait or
behavior will fall away. Often all that is needed is for the individual to
confront the past life(s) where the OCD originated. Going back to the past
becomes the means of freeing those "afflicted with OCD" from being
condemned to repeat those lessons in the future.
#2: SUICIDAL THOUGHTS - ATTEMPTS
For many, the weight of the difficult spiritual path they have undertaken in
life becomes too much to bear. This may manifest as dark periods where
suicide seems the only solution to ending their pain. So if you are thinking
of committing suicide or if you have already attempted it, you owe it to
yourself to find out why.
Take it from one who knows: suicide is NEVER the answer. Suicide only
makes the problem infinitely worse. That is because all suicides are forced
to return to a physical plane of existence in a body that is severely
compromised in some manner. For example, most "Down's Syndrome"
people are returning suicides.
#3: FIBROMYALGIA-CHRONIC FATIGUE
Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue are diseases of "soul weariness" where
the body in this life is so weighted down by past life resonances that it
cannot function properly until it has had an abnormally long period of rest.
These resonances manifest as toxins in your body that are stored in your
cellular memory.
The best thing to do for fibromyalgia is NEVER to give into the despair that
is an inevitable consequence of prolonged pain and confinement to bed.
Other "must dos" for this disease include drinking as much water as you
can every day (to flush out the toxins), getting on a daily program of
laughing and smiling, and doing some exercise - even if it is only moving
your eyes in a regular pattern for an hour daily. For chronic fatigue, the
best thing is to walk, increasing the time a little each day.
#4: MULTIPLE PERSONALITIES - SCHIZOPHRENIA
Multiple personality disorders (MPD) and/or schizophrenia (SCH) can be
caused by the emergence of past life personalities that arise to help the
present day person solve problem(s). The trouble comes when these past
life personalities are not properly reintegrated back into the present day
person's memory.
What normally happens is, that when an individual is in crisis, they access
the "unused" part of their brain (where their past life personalities are
stored) to help them overcome it. When the crisis is averted, the pathway
to that part of their brain is automatically shut off. In cases of MPD or SCH,
the crises are either so severe or so chronic that this shut down
mechanism cannot function properly.
The mind then has difficulty distinguishing between the current and all
prior personalities. In a sense, the prior personalities come back to life and
fight for the attention of the current body-mind. In SCH, there is usually a
very dominant prior personality which drives out all others except
themselves and the current day personality. In MPD, a host of prior
personalities jockey for position at the forefront of the person's awareness
and end up "taking turns".
#5: EXTREME EATING DISORDERS-WEIGHT PROBLEMS
In the most recent generations, the Holocaust and other tragedies have
driven many to reincarnate with serious imbalances in their weight.
Those are seriously overweight-obese are usually suffering from a past life
resonance which causes the body to become determined never to starve
again. "Enough" weight is put on the individual by the body to keep it safe.
Those who are seriously underweight-anorexic are usually suffering from a
past life resonance which causes the body to believe that it still must be
caught up in the struggle for survival. Individuals become compelled to
drop weight and give a variety of other explanations for it (as in they need
to "look good", to "be perfect", to "control their out of control lives", etc).
The reality is that there is usually a past life personality (often one from a
life of abuse or religious "self-abnegation") "starving for attention" and for
the healing that only knowledge of the past brings.
#6: MULTIPLE BIRTH DEFECTS-NATAL CONDITIONS
Multiple medical problems at birth (three or more) are usually the result of
an individual being on the spiritual "debt consolidation karmic payment
plan".
Since birth conditions can never be ignored and usually last for the entire
lifetime, they become the perfect vehicles for the working off of serious
and complex karmic conditions arising from past lives. It is as if all the
individual's problems have been rolled into one big, gigantic ball and chain
that the individual will be dragging around for "the rest of their life".
#7: UNEXPLAINED CHRONIC PAIN AND/OR ILLNESSES
If doctor(s) have told you "I cannot find anything wrong with you" but you
are certain something is wrong, then both of you may be right. Past life
problems can be remarkably resistant to present day treatments. If the
problem truly does originate in the past, the solution will defy resolution
using conventional present day therapies. However, if the source of the
chronic pain or illness does lie in the past, then past life treatment can
most likely produce fast and dramatic healing results.
#8: UNEXPLAINED CHRONIC PHOBIAS-INAPPROPRIATE FEARS
A fear or a phobia can be classified as "inappropriate" when the situation
triggering the fear or the phobia in fact poses no imminent threat, no
forseeable danger, or no actual risk of harm to the individual. Like chronic
pain, chronic phobias arising from past life trauma can be very resistant to
present day treatments. If the fear is buried in the past, then it is the most
quickly healed by going back to the past. Often confronting the fear or
phobia is enough just to send it away.
#9: RECURRING NIGHTMARES ABOUT TRAUMATIC DEATHS
Often all the people we see or hear or know about in our dreams are just
other manifestations of our personality. If the people we see in our dreams
seem to be historical (dressed in clothes from the past, etc), they are more
than likely who we were in a past life. If these people are being harmed or
killed, it is usually your body's way of working off fears associated with
these traumas from past lives.
Working off karma in the dream state - believe me - in the end is often
much more pleasant than healing it while you are "awake" and it manifests
as "reality". Know that if you wake up terrified by a nightmare, it is
infinitely less frightening than experiencing real trauma played out as
harm to your physical body.
#10: SEVERE CHRONIC LUNG CONGESTION
Many people on the brink of contacting the greater totality of themselves
experience a release of cellular toxins over an extended period of time
that comes in the form of nasal or lung congestion. This is a necessary
cleansing which provides the opening for past life healing. It is your body's
way of crying and releasing all the grief that has accumulated within you
over the years.

Rules #14: A Prison Without Walls - Your Body, Free Will, & Karma
Annie Besant explained it best: You get the karmic body "you have
prepared for yourself" directly from "agents of the Lords of Karma." This
"inner double" karmic body is "built according to the elements you yourself
have provided." These elements include your character strengths and
weaknesses, your skills and abilities, your desires and dreams "after which
is shaped your physical body."
In "very truth, you are self created, responsible for all that you are." Your
inner bodies "condition the exercise of your faculties." They shape your
beliefs and thoughts which governs your choices and creates your reality.
Often most people cannot even notice that their lives are running along
the "train tracks" of karma laid out by their inner bodies. They never try to
test the limits of their "self made prisons" to see if they can be something
more. They merely accept that their life "is the way it is" and that "some
things will never change".
It is this type of limiting thinking that keeps most safely inside the box of
karma that their body-mind has become. They use their free will only to
the extent that they are "thinking inside the box". Thus their karma and
their free will coexist: never interfering or contradicting one another.
The genetic coding of any individual physical body is formed by it's past
life predispositions and is stored as cellular memory (see Rules #15: On
Cellular Memory). It gives the individual the potential to contract any
number of physical ailments and to undergo any number of different life
experiences.
Each individual carries into this life the potential for manifesting
recurrence of past life condition(s). This potential results from conflicts
created and left unresolved in past lifetimes. When an individual
encounters similar situations in the environment of this lifetime, they get
the opportunity to complete that issue.
They complete an issue when they address the deep seated causes of the
problem. If the person is successful in solving the problem, their
environment transforms to move themalong to the next set of problems. If
not, their life is "switched" back to a similar situation, so they can try again
to resolve it.
So the life of most people on Earth today can be summed up by the above
formula. The heredity (which they chose before they came), their
environment (which they inherit but are driven to change), and their free
will (the actions they "choose" based on their emotions) create their life.
If you look at the mass of humanity, you will find that most people usually
do not transcend the circumstances of their birth and their upbringing.
Heredity and environment become the blinders that keep them plodding
faithfully along their track of karma. If these life conditions are "bad
enough", they also become the motivation for an individual to exercise
their free will and work toward overcoming "the crummy 'karma' cards
they have been dealt".
For every action there is a reaction, for every cause, an effect: this is the
basic principle of karma. Free will is involved in the selection of the action
taken. Karma is involved in creating the circumstances that make selecting
an action necessary.
Evolution and spiritual growth in joy, love, and awareness are the end
results of the karmic process. When you recognize that your physical body
is merely one of the garments your Soul wears to gain experience, you can
understand how to transcend your circumstances. In essence, you can
begin to exert your free will to break out of the box of karma... and expand
the prison without walls.
Every problem contains the solution within it. Although there is a "point of
no return", all physical, mental, or emotional conditions experienced within
this lifetime can be healed. They can only be transcended once the
spiritual causes which created them are resolved (see Rules #2: Your
Body, Mind, Spirit Works, Rules #4: Healing, Rules#7: Illness, and Rules#9:
Recovery). The spiritual causes are those you "inherited" from past lives -
the major karmic issues you are resolving.
Your karma functions like a fence: it sets up the boundaries within which
you use your free will to work on the "problems" caused by heredity and
environment.
To climb over the "fence" of karma, you need to transcend both your
heredity and environment. Doing so, necessarily involves working on your
emotions. It is your emotions that drive you to take action to resolve the
causes and effects of your heredity and environment. Emotions can only
be "settled" when the causes and effects from your heredity and
environment are "settled".
Karma works to develop your ability to handle free will responsibly. Karma
perates impersonally, giving you the opportunity at every moment to
become open to greater levels of love and compassion. The goal is to give
you needed experiences so you evolve into greater levels of awareness
and responsibility.
All you do at every moment is your choice. Once you accept total
responsibility for who you are, for what you have done or will do, and for
all your choices, life straightens out. You become what you are and you
see yourself as Soul. Once you do, you are able to become a fully realized
co-worker with God.
For evidence of how the "train tracks of karma" are readily visible in the
universe, see "Astrology, Karma, and the Arts of Divination".
As it says in the Talmud, "we do not see things as they are, we see them
as we are". That is because we are always looking through the world
through the eyes of our constantly changing cellular memory.
Body work that acts on your cellular memory (like Past Life Healing,
Remote Releasement, and Geometric Repatterning) are powerful tools for
transformation.
In essence, such body work makes your prison more comfortable and
spacious to live in. They open doors into other ways of seeing, being, and
becoming that your original cellular memory had closed. Here is how
cellular memory works:
One, that distinctions between your body, mind, and spirit are "artificial"
ones that exist only to make it easier for you to comprehend your
existence here on Earth in linear time. You are a whole, holistic being: not
a sum of your parts.
Two, that each point within your hologram "contains all of the information
of the whole". The complete "blueprint" for your existence is contained
and infinitely accessible in each and every one of your cells.
2> CELLS ARE LIGHT & SOUND & ONLY APPEAR DIFFERENT
For as modern science is learning, all cells are essentially the same. "Turn
off" the markers that cause the cells to differentiate and they revert to
their original state… where they are capable of becoming anything.
Modern science teaches us that your cells contain DNA which is the
"blueprint" for the complete design of your physical body. They also hold
the "blueprint" for your mental, emotional, and spiritual state. Your cells
"remember" all of who you have been in past lives and all you have been
in this life right up to the present day (hence the term "cellular memory").
So as you develop, change, and grow in any aspect of your life, your cells
constantly update this "personal data".
Those who regularly receive and give love energy enjoy vibrant health.
While those who do not take such "love baths" age "prematurely" and tend
to suffer from a wide variety of health problems. Literally, it is love that
gives your cells life.
Your energy chakras constantly nourish your cells with universal energy.
Your cells in turn sustain your bodies at all levels. This in turn reinforces
your chakras. When your chakras become blocked, your cells do not
receive the proper nourishment. If your cells are not feed with love or
universal energy for long enough, they become a "breeding ground" for
dis-ease, dis-order, and illness.
Cells are constantly growing and dying. They are the ultimate reflection of
how the universe works. The universe is constantly changing, constantly
transforming chaos into order, darkness into light... and it requires the
same of all who inhabit it.
So either you make the choice to live and to grow or your hologram makes
the choice for you to die. The truth is illness is almost always a reflection
of a person's decision to stay "stuck" (whether actively by making "wrong"
choices or passively by "doing nothing"). Read "Rules #7 for Illness", you
will see how true this is.
Before you go thinking that you can dip into your cellular holograms at
will, bear this in mind. Your cells also come with built in protections against
transformation.
If you have not earned the right to transmute your beingness, your cells
will not allow you or your healer to access the hologram. There are 2
reasons.
One, it is for your own safety: if you are not ready to handle the
transformation responsibly, it will do you and others more harm than good
if you change too rapidly or if you inadvertantly go into the "wrong
direction".
Two, it is for your own safety: if changes are made too quickly or
incorrectly, it could cause serious damage to your hologram. Instead of
being better off at any level, you could be worse off at all levels (this is the
"wisdom of the body").
"Inherited patterns of being" come from past lives. These patterns are
meant to be "modified by experience" in this lifetime. Most of the time
resonances are good: they are the sources of strengths, skills, abilities,
and talents. However, those resonances which keep you from being all you
can be today - physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually - need to be
healed.
11> CELLS "THROW OFF" PATTERNS NO LONGER SERVING YOU
Cells are built to "dump" resonances that no longer serve you. Your cells
do this the same way that the body rids itself of any unwanted waste:
excretion, sweating, coughing, throwing up phlegm, etc. When you
change, expect this "throwing off".
Like nature, cells abhor a vacuum. Once old patterns of being are
discarded, they must immediately be replaced by new - hopefully positive
and empowering ways of seeing, being, knowing, and becoming. Your cells
always seek to throw off negative patterns and to integrate positive
patterns of being into your awareness.
Credits: inspired by "Take Off Your Glasses and See!" by Dr. Jacob Liberman and
channeled information
If you have had any or all of these feelings come up regularly in your life,
then it is likely that the "weight you feel inside" are "past life resonances".
* If your body is the "prison" (Rules #14: Your Body: A Prison Without Walls)
which compels to you work off your karma.
* If your cells are the "tiny bricks" (Rules #15: It's in Your Cellular Memory)
that creates this prison of karma around you.
* Then your Past Life Resonances are the mortar keeping the "bricks of your
cellular memory" firmly in place, until you rearrange them.
So What Are Past Life Resonances... and Why Should You Care About
Them?
Past life resonances are simply "inherited patterns of being modified by experience". These
patterns of being are the sum total of all the learning that you have inherited from past lives.
This is how keep all that you have learned in past lives without being overwhelmed by all the
details of your previous incarnations.
These "patterns of being" are meant to be "modified by experience" as you live each lifetime.
Most resonances are good: they are the sources of your strengths, skills, and talents. However,
those resonances which keep you from being all you can be today - physically, mentally,
emotionally, spiritually - need to be healed.
So Why Do Resonances Cause Problems... and Why Must You Heal Them?
"Problems" from the past - like most problems - just get worse until they
are resolved. Even worse, if these problems come from the past they are
remarkably resistant to present day treatments. This is because our past
live resonances operate much like icebergs. Six-sevenths of the mass of an
iceberg is below the sea surface and so it is always more massive and
immovable than it appears.
It is the same way with past life resonances, they are buried deep inside
your unconscious mind. So deep that it can take years of patient effort to
heal them. And until they are healed, they will be like the stone in your
shoe. Yes, you will move forward. However, your journey will be slowed,
made needlessly uncomfortable, and eventually stopped until you finally
decide to "solve" the "resonance problem".
So What Are the Sources of Past Life Resonances… and Do You Have
Them?
Beside each Past Life Resonance below is the internal dialog that goes with
it. If you have heard any of these "lines of dialog" either playing in your
head or running through your speaking, then you ARE being effected by
such resonances. You will continue to be effected by them until you heal
the problems in your past lives or in past events from your present life that
caused them to become part of your being.
Here are the Most Common Forms of Past Life Resonances:
#1: ATTACHMENT: "I have to DO…", "I have to BE…", "I have to HAVE…"
The hardest thing you will ever have to accept about your life in the
universe is that you have chosen to be here. Almost always, the choice
was made because there is something that you "HAVE TO" do, be, or have.
Often, those "somethings" are dictated to you by the Lords of Karma after
they have passed "sentence" on your "performance" in your last previous
life. Just as often, those "somethings" are things we are attached to such
as "I have to live one last lifetime of love with my mate", or "I have to be
more forgiving to others", or "I have to have the experience of being
wealthy."
"Have tos" most often spring from regret, guilt, and shame that HAVE TO
be overcome. As long as you are attached to a HAVE TO, past life
resonances will ensure that you will be back life after life until you do not
"have to" anymore.
#2: VANITY: "Let me tell you…", "I am SO fantastic…", "I am SO horrible…"
Each of us has within us the capability to be a "Mother Theresa" type Saint
and an "Adolf Hitler" type of mass murderer. The truth is that each has a
place in God's universe and each has a role to play. At one time, we have
or will have all played all the roles. We come to learn that we are neither
"so fantastic" or "so horrible" but that we are all servants of God. Past life
resonances of both the "fantastic narcissist" and the "horrible masochist"
will cry out for healing until they are resolved.
#3: INTOLERANCE: "We are the BEST…", "THEY are the WORST"
Of all past life resonances, those involving rigid, fanatical intolerance -
"good-or-evil" beliefs, "we-or-they" attitudes, "black-or-white" thinking -
are among the hardest to heal. What it takes are lifetimes of experiencing
things from all viewpoints to come to the ultimate truth of existence that
"we have looked into the face of the enemy and find that we are
they…"
So if you cannot stand some group - race, sex, religion, sect, creed, nation
- your intolerance will keep you spinning on the wheel of reincarnation
until you can. For example, Romans come back as barbarians, Arabs come
back as Israelis, Chinese come back as Japanese, whites come back as
blacks, men come back as women, and so on until as Soul we can tolerate
and embrace all ways of being.
#4: UNFORGIVENESS: "I will NEVER forgive…", "I will ALWAYS remember…"
Unforgiveness is the companion of intolerance: for those we cannot
tolerate, we can never forgive because our past life resonances ensure
that at a cellular level we always remember. Since our bodies were
designed to carry our learnings forward from life to life, "never" and
"always" can be quite a long time karmically speaking.
And yet since our bodies were made to give and receive unconditional
love, carrying negative emotions like intolerance and unforgiveness will
cause us pain. The pain will "always" persist until we learn to "never" be
intolerant or unforgiving!
#5: HATE: "I HATE you FOREVER…", "I hope you SUFFER and DIE…"
If left unhealed for too long, intolerance and unforgiveness manifest as the
most extreme form of past life resonance: hate. Hate is THE most difficult
resonance of all to heal. For hate is like fire: it can fuel itself indefinitely on
everything it finds around it. Since we are infinite beings, vowing to hate
forever is a command to the universe that - literally - can be carried out for
millenia.
What eventually stops hate is the heavy price it carries as we make our
long journey as Soul. For hate is as surely a poison to the body at all levels
- physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually - as love is a tonic.
Hating is like taking poison and expecting someone else to die because
what you wish for others is what you will attract to yourself. It is you who
will "suffer and die": is that what you want?
Since some past lives involve learning "all about me" and other involve
learning "all about others", it is very easy to become unbalanced about
pride. Honoring the self while honoring others is always is a delicate
balance. Yet, past life resonances are particularly good at working to "burn
up" those who focus only on the "me" while it will "burn out" those who
focus only on the "others".
#7: GLUTTONY: "I GOTTA get me some of that...", "I can NEVER get
enough..."
There are many things to love on this Earth: food, sex, money, power,
nature, challenge, adventure, discovery. And the list goes on and on
seemingly forever. That which you love down here - that which you cannot
get enough of... are past life resonances that pull on you until you satisfy
them.
Morbid obesity will cure that love of food. Aids and other sexually
transmitted diseases will douse the eternal flame of sexual desire. Become
corrupted by power and you will be brought lower than low. Lose respect
for the Earth and natural disasters will teach you otherwise. Gluttony kills.
#8: ENVY: "Why do THEY have... and NOT me?", "Why are THEY like... and
NOT me?"
Envy is always caused by misplaced attention. You envy in others what
you use to have in a past life or what you have yet to create in a future
life. Since all time is now, resonances manifesting as envy in the present
life are created when you catch glimpses of your past or future self in
another's life experience. Envy is the failure to realize that, along our
journey of Soul in the universe, we have been and will be all things. Like
hate, envy is a poison that sickens us until it is purged. It gets purged
when we connect with the totality of ourselves and know that all is within
us now.
#9: ANGER: "THEY make me SO angry that I...", "I get SO angry because it is
so..."
Anger is the fuel that powers all the "negative emotions" that we have,
especially hate and envy. It often seems to us that anger comes from
outside ourselves ("they make me angry") but the truth is that anger
ALWAYS comes from inside.
In the beginning, anger is a signal from our emotional body that something
is wrong, that somehow our sacred space has been violated. What we
decide to do about this signal is our choice. If we get angry at something
or someone else, we have chosen this as the response to the anger signal.
Yet there are many choices we could make in response to the situation and
anger is only one tool available to us. Instead of "getting so angry", maybe
it is better to "get so clear" about what really needs to be done to fix the
problem for good.
Many times the source of our anger does not truly lie in the present,
particularly if the anger is a very inappropriate response to the current
situation. Often this kind of present anger is really anger from past lives
that needs to be acknowledged and so that the related resonances can be
healed.
#10: GREED: "For ME to get, I must TAKE from you...", "There is NEVER
enough..."
Greed is the fuel that powers gluttony. Although we live in an abundant
universe, it has taken us quite a long time to create societies on the Earth
that realize the promise of abundance. So the fear of "lack" ("there will
never be enough") is deeply ingrained in our collective consciousness and
it invariably manifests as greed ("so I have to take all for me while I can
because I will lack someday"). The companion of greed is "cheapness"
("since I cannot make more, I must spend less").
For example, most people get jobs, not out of a genuine desire to help
others, but because they do not wish to live out of doors becoming subject
to the elements and predators there. Most people only marry to satisfy
desires for love, companionship, support, and sex etc. Karma, created by
the individual's past life resonances, drives them to take the necessary
action in their life that overcomes their natural sloth.
#12: LUST: "I WANT this…", "I WANT that…", "GIMME, GIMME, GIMME!"
Lust is the fuel that powers attachment and completes the circle of
"negative" human desires. As long as you "want" something, you are being
driven by past life resonances to experience something else that you have
not already explored in past lives. All your wants become satisfied when
you have finally experienced and are complete with all the Earth has to
offer.
Until then it is the "gimmes" (as in "give me this, give me that") which
makes to world go around spinning Souls - each on their own path -
through the cycle of human experience. For only by experiencing
something can we become free of it. And, in being free, are we ready to
fulfill our destiny as CoWorkers with God.
Notice the parallels to the problems that are purged during the Dark Night
of Soul. For one of it's purposes is to purge the last of our Past Life
Resonances from us.
Credits: from channeled information.
In regression, the ego function of the human unconscious mind will shut
down, block, or distort the past life information that the individual is receiving
if it is threatening to derail their life path.
Yet advance on the spiritual path and break a karmic law and you will be
amazed by how quickly and strongly karma comes back upon you. The
goal of past life healing - as with all experiences in life - is to help you
unfold in Soul awareness so that you can live the path of Dharma in
CoWorkership with God.
#3: PAST LIFE HEALING IS A PROCESS OF EVOLUTION
Enforcing the evolution of each individual into Soul awareness is what the
rules of Healing, Illness, and Recovery are all about. Those rules work to
ensure that you stay on your path so that you meet your life contract. Past
Life Healing works to expand and enrich your path so that you can
accelerate in Soul awareness if you choose to do so (see "Hallmarks of the
Spiritually Advanced").
Accelerating is much like peeling back the layers of an onion. The outer
layers of past life problems are tougher and take longer to strip away while
the inner layers are more compact and intense but easier to remove once
they are reached. The purpose of working through the layers is to slowly
realize the totality of your beingness so that you are not overwhelmed by
the information.
That is why we agree to "forget" our past lives before we come here... so
we can concentrate on unwinding intractable bits of our karma. Once our
karma is "straightened out" we can begin the process of fully reconnecting
with all who we have been. By leveraging our past and integrating it with
the present, we thereby empower our future by evolving into total
awareness of ourselves as infinite Soul beings (which is the "Kingdom of
God within us", our Higher Self).
#4: HEALING THE PRESENT IS WHY WE MUST HEAL THE PAST
Past life healing comes down to this... The point of all power is in the
present moment because this NOW moment is the only one you
ever experience.
If you cannot be at peace with a particular Now moment in the past - whether from a past life
or from a past event in the present life - you need to heal that moment. For what is unhealed
from the past can keep you from being all you want to be now - physically, emotionally,
mentally, or spiritually. And what is unhealed from the past will continue to negatively
influence your present until it is resolved.
#5: THE ONLY WAY PAST YOUR PAIN IS THROUGH IT
The simple truth is the only way past your pain and problems is going
through them. For "what is forgotten, 'unknown' and unhealed is always
more frightening than what is remembered, 'known', and healed." It is this
fear that attaches the painful past to you like a magnet. Pushing
through the fear, the problems, and the pain is what resolves
them... avoiding them only increases their "magnetic" pull until
they become so unbearable that they must be faced.
Amazingly when the light of truth dispels the darkness of the unknown the
problem is never as bad was feared. Time and time again when the fear is
confronted, the person finds that they are in the place where they can
handle the knowledge and resolve the issue. And when the pain is truly
faced, it is then truly gone.
#6: THE POINT OF THE PAIN IS TO FORCE YOU TO REMEMBER
When we experience pain, we invariably ask the question of "WHY?" "Why
am I having this pain?" "What is the point of it?" "When will it ever stop?"
"You are having the pain because you are forgetting, ignoring, or
misunderstanding something very important that you need to remember about
yourself."
"The point of your pain is to get you to the place where you are ready to listen
and accept this very important thing."
"The pain will end when you finally do listen and accept this very important
truth about yourself."
People can become invested in their pain for many reasons. Some like to
be super heroes: "look at me, look at how well I overcome my
adversity... when the going gets tough, the tough get going..." Others like
to be martyrs: "poor little me, if only I did not have the cross of my pain
to bear, what wouldn't I do..." A few are in it strictly for the narcissism: "I
have real problems, my pain is the only thing that matters, focus on me,
serve me, put up with me..."
The truth is there are better things to be invested in than pain. Yet if you
want to keep your pain, it will be happy to come back to you and stay with
you for as long as you need and want it to. Healers can help you lay down
your pain but only you can let it go for good (see the Rules of Recovery for
what it takes to get better).
#8: THE PAST LIFE HEALING OF PHYSICAL PROBLEMS
The healing of physical problems is the most popular use of past life
healing because it gives people the most immediate and obvious results.
Often they have a specific problem - most often chronic pain - that
conventional medical treatments or other alternative healing cannot
address. [Example]
The results are immediate in that the problem will cease altogether anywhere
between the time the person makes a firm intention to keep their appointment
to a month after the session is completed.
The results are dramatic in that presenting symptoms decrease in a way that is
noticeable to the client. These range from restoring full function to previously
impaired parts of the body to the reduction in the severity of the original
problem.
The good news is that physical problems do not have to be a life sentence for those willing to
look deep inside themselves to heal their pain.
#9: THE PAST LIFE HEALING OF EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS
Past life healing of emotional problems is particularly effective precisely
because they force someone to look deep inside themselves for answers.
To understand this, look at the word emotion. It comes from the phrase
"Energy in Motion". Everyone's emotions originate inside themselves as
energy seeking expression. This energy is sent by our Higher Selves for our
learning and unfoldment as Soul and drives us to take action and make choices.
Our choices then either "work off" or "make more" karma for ourselves.
[Example]
Past life healing gives us a unique opportunity to examine the karmic patterns which underlie
these emotions. For once we see the emotional patterns that drive us we are free to transcend
them and make different, more empowering choices.
#10: THE PAST LIFE HEALING OF MENTAL PROBLEMS
Closely linked to our emotional patterns are our mental ones: otherwise
known as attitudes, beliefs, thoughts, and behaviors. Since these were
formed through trial and error during the totality of all our experiences in
many incarnations, they are often the most "treatable" by past life healing.
[Example]
As we grow spiritually, we are like the mountain climber who sets out to
scale the largest mountain he can see. The climber believes that once he
has summited, he will have attained the greatest possible height. And yet
when the climber gets to that summit, he sees that there is another whole
range of mountains stretching on in the distance that are even higher and
steeper than the one he has just conquered.
And so it is with the spiritual life, there is always more. There is more
because God has created an infinite universe. And because there is more,
it means that certain past lives must be healed at deeper levels... and so
the journey continues.
#12: ON THE JOURNEY & DESTINATION OF PAST LIFE HEALING
If the process of past life healing could be summed up in a single phrase, it
would be this one. "Those who do not learn from the lessons of the past
are condemned to repeat them." (Santayana) Our failure to learn the laws
of life in the Universe, to grow in Soul awareness, to expand in our ability
to Love is what propels us along the journey through the worlds of karma
and reincarnation.
Yet our experience - slowly but surely - does teach us the laws of life. As
time goes by, we grow in awareness and we learn to love. We do this by
"settling our accounts in true coin": by experiencing the "good" and the
"bad" that we have done to others by allowing it to be done to ourselves.
[Example]
Past life healing has the power to show us that everything that happens to
us now is the effect of a cause that we ourselves set in motion in the past.
For only when we can accept total responsibility for all that happens to us
now do we become free of the past. This freedom is the final destination of
all our past life healing for it allows us to live fully in the only moment we
ever have: NOW!
