“Was I Bad in Past Lives?”

Souls can be consistently “bad” or “good” while incarnated, but how they act depends on many factors: What roles they sign up for, what karma they’re helping others work through, if they are learning their lessons and making progress, and many other considerations play a part.

Fortunately, there’s hope for even the biggest troublemakers: We’ve noticed, through past life regression, that those who do the most “good” in this life, may very well have been terrors on Earth in one or more prior lives. Also, we would agree that there are many people on this planet simply doing good not just to balance negative karma, but because it’s gratifying and fulfilling. But it has been said by wise women and men that selflessness doesn’t exist; everything everyone does is ultimately for one’s self, even if it’s for a feeling of satisfaction, to avoid feeling guilty or just to generate positive personal karma, for example.

Don’t worry too much about whether or not you were a kind person in past lives, as everyone has been “good” and “bad” in past lives. The most important thing is that you forgive yourself, acknowledge the necessity to balance any negative energy, and “do the right thing” now, in this life, at all times and in all situations.

Some other ways to avoid negative future consequences include reacting with love rather than fear, sending love and acceptance to your “enemies” in order to forgive them and create more harmony between you, accepting yourself as you are, respecting yourself in all situations, and striving to be the best you can be.

Regression Therapy Dangerous?

Regression hypnosis and hypnosis are safe because just as in meditation, your mind will only allow you to perceive what you’re ready to.

This is sometimes why some people don’t perceive much in regression. Other reasons include select medications, other drugs, and excessive alcohol that cloud the mind and soul, fear of seeing anything negative, not trusting the process, themselves, or the therapist, and not being centered, focused, or relaxed enough for the process.

Hypnosis has gained a reputation of being about mind control or blacking out due in part because of movies and television, but in reality, it’s simply a deep state of relaxation in which you have total control.

Also, it seems that those who are in favor of conflict avoidance, afraid of confrontation or dealing with the cold, hard facts, are often less likely to be in favor of regression therapy.

It could be said that stuffing the memories of traumatic events and not uncovering and dealing with the impressions is dangerous. Repression and unconsciously keeping uncomfortable or painful memories locked in the subconscious memory bank causes energy drain, and ignoring, denying, and not dealing with the unresolved past will cause problems in all areas of life.

Repression is like trying to hold a beach ball under water; eventually the memories from the subconscious mind will surface. It’s better to get in touch with the impressions and emotions sooner rather than later, and in an appropriate environment, so you can move on and open up to your highest potential.

Though facing the memories may be unpleasant at first, welcome the opportunity to remember, and then, most importantly, accept and let go of the situation, and forgive all involved, if applicable. The past doesn’t really matter, but how you react to it and how it affects the present in a karmic sense does, so forgiveness is key. Forgiveness for yourself or others is for your own healing; it doesn’t let anyone off the hook.

Also, you don’t need to tell someone you forgive them for forgiveness to have a positive effect in your life. Expressing forgiveness for that person to yourself is also effective.

Finally, how you face the truth is key. Aside from compassionately confronting any perpetrators involved, if you see yourself as a victim and place all your energy on blaming, you will heal much more slowly.

Once you accept what happened and forgive (both of these won’t be easy, but in time you’ll be able to do it), you’ll accelerate the healing process and be a stronger person too. After all that, think of all the strength you’ll have available to reach your goals and dreams!

Spirituality, Occult & Metaphysics – Gullibility or Awareness?

Some people may be too quick to accept metaphysical theories and methods without much consideration. Unfortunately, blind acceptance doesn’t usually lead to complete comprehension.

Most people who advocate various metaphysical concepts don’t automatically accept new theories. For many, having faith in an idea that can’t be proved or disproved such as reincarnation involves questioning, considering various explanations, applying the idea to their own life and the lives of others, and looking at other possibilities. Only then, after finding no good reason to discount it, will they accept it.

With an unbiased attitude, diligent research, and intuitive awareness, truth is uncovered.

An example is the past life regression therapist who does many regressions, being careful to remain objective, while compiling impressions and details about his clients’ past lives. Many, many cases offer explicit, verifiable details about distant, even ancient cultures such as types of societal standards like common marriage arrangement particulars, and even specific addresses and descriptions of particular houses and places of employment. Do these things prove reincarnation? No. Does it prove reincarnation when the hypnotized client begins speaking in a foreign language, one previously completely unknown (in this life)? Again, no, but it sure lends a lot of corroboration for supportive theories of reincarnation.

Ironically, it’s frequently those who condemn the belief in metaphysical concepts who display gullibility, believing misinformation (such as that of the organized religion they follow) all too readily without bothering to do their own objective research.

More and more people are opening up to alternative spiritual theories. It’s not too surprising that books like “The Da Vinci Code,” by Dan Brown are best-sellers today.

That which is looked upon by one generation as the apex of human knowledge is often considered an absurdity by the next, and that which is regarded as a superstition in one century, may form the basis of science for the following one. –Paracelsus

Past Lives & Reincarnation – You Would be Surprised to Learn About Your Former Lifetimes

We once had a past life regression client who, after We directed him into a past life, became mad at us. “I find it hard to believe I was a prostitute in a past life!” he said.

His reasoning was that since he would never do “such a low-life thing” now, he couldn’t have possibly done it then.

While we’re not endorsing prostitution, his statements may imply a belief that a prostitute is less of a person than someone who isn’t.

In reality, we are all equal, no matter our profession, race, age, bank account balance, sexual orientation, social status, body type, or other factors. Try to accept and have compassion for those who are different than you.

Besides, considering that prostitution may be the oldest profession in our world, and that many of us may have lived hundreds of lifetimes, the idea that we all may have been on either side of such a transaction isn’t so hard to believe.

Other clients have said, after perceiving past life scenes, “I find it hard to believe that someone who is so nice could have been so cruel in a past life.”

We explained that sometimes those who are exceptionally “nice” now may have learned the value of compassion, consideration, and love from lifetimes where they were the opposite.

You would be surprised at who you may have been and what you may have done in past lives. For possible clues, examine the actions of others, professions, countries, and groups of people that hold your interest, especially those that provoke emotion within you.
