"Walking Minefield": Past Clues in Present - Intermediate
Past Lives in Everyday Life
The past is still present... Most first
discover their past lives through
basic
techniques. For those who have earned the right
to go even further... they will get even better clues. These are the
intermediate methods:
Past Life Alarm Clock
goes off in your life
now to get you to resolve past life karma.
Pouring
is when you are overwhelmed by past
lives to help you better handle karma.
Paging
is when you relive events in your life
now to help you better handle karma.
Craving Reality
is how choosing the most intense
present life burns off past life karma.
If - all of a sudden - you "have to" resolve your past, your Past Life
Alarm Clock has gone off! Those who experience it are never in doubt
that it has happened. The alarm does not go off at random... there are
specific causes triggering it. Here are some of the most common causes:
*
Birthdays:
When a person reaches the same age now as they
were when they experienced problems in a past life, the alarm can go
off. Before that particular birthday, the individual may have had no
interest in past lives. After that birthday, they suddenly finds
themselves driven to seek answers that lead to karma healing.
*
Events:
When a person participates in an event now that
"looks and feels" to the mind like a similar traumatic event in a past
life, the alarm can go off. Typical events that trigger the alarm are:
learning to drive, getting married, giving birth, contracting illness,
losing a loved one, getting fired, etc. These events raise our unsolved
issues from past lives so that we get another chance to heal them in
the present.
*
People:
When a person meets someone else - with whom
they have heavy past life karma - it can trigger unwanted thoughts and
feelings. This sets the tone for the relationships which are to follow
between this set of karmic partners. Each starts out either liking or
hating the person (this "instant feeling" is usually how the pair left
off in the last past life when they were together). Then they take it
from there.
*
Enemies:
If the karmic partners truly hated each other
in past lives, they may feel an instant attraction which is necessary
to get them together (otherwise their hate would keep them apart).
Then the instant attraction quickly goes away as the issues between
them surface. Now present life issues between the people keeps their
relationship going... along the same train tracks of karma as before.
*
Advice:
First, recognize the past life alarm has gone
off. Second, ask yourself if what you are thinking and feeling about
the situation is characteristic of the "real" you. Third, take control
and CHOOSE your actions based on who you are not what karma will have
you do. Fourth, bring more love into the situation this time.
If you feel like you are drowning in past life
awareness but this is the first time it has happened to you, this is
temporary. This is known as "Pouring": the opening of an individual
to detailed knowledge of their past lives. This "Pouring" is part of
their
Life Contract
and was agreed to before birth.
*
Opening the Floodgates:
For those who are really ready to receive past
life awareness, it may feel like they are trapped in a downpour with
each drop of being a different past life. This experience of "Pouring"
is simply overwhelming. When it happened to me, all I could do is eat,
sleep, and work for one solid month. My "Pouring" was so intense that
I forgot to pay my bills that month (I caught up!).
*
Pouring - Physically:
Going through a cycle of "Pouring" is the most
strenuous workout you could get. You end up feeling like you have been
on that walking treadmill all day. As past lives pour out of you,
assuming that you are open to the lessons they have to teach you, your
cellular memory will rapidly transform. This huge strain on your body
will feel like exercise but, instead of energizing you, it is likely to
make you very tired… so be sure to take it easy and sleep more!
*
Pouring - Mentally:
"Pouring" strains your brain right along with
your body. Memories of past existences and issues will compete for
attention with present day concerns. This might cause you to daydream
more than usual. It might cause you to stop and stare for a few minutes
as your brain goes through an intense cycle of processing. This huge
strain on your mind which will also tend to make you physically tired…
so just take it easy, be patient, and sleep more!
*
Pouring - Emotionally:
The hardest part of "Pouring" is the intense
emotional overwhelm. It feels like you have been caught by a wave in
the ocean. You are tumbled around by the currents and dragged along
helplessly until the wave finally releases you. Do not be surprised if
you cry a river while you are caught in the wave. That really is the
best thing you can do while your past lives are "pouring" out of you:
cry and surrender to the wave. So take it easy, be patient, and sleep
more!
*
Closing the Floodgates:
The best part of "Pouring" is that it comes to
an end relatively quickly. Mine lasted for a month but, for most people,
it usually lasts two weeks. When "Pouring" is over, life will return
to normal, only you will feel cleaner and lighter for having had the
experience… and you will realize "it is all good!"
Your life review can come during your
lifetime through a rapid-fire paging of present life memories. All
your memories - from birth to the present will go through your mind -
like pages in a book being turned very quickly. "Paging" often changes
the future course of your life.
*
Experience of Paging:
"Paging" normally happens when you are awake.
More often than not, you can be woken from a sound sleep. Almost always,
it happens when you are alone. While the "Paging" goes on, you can feel
paralyzed in your body as your mind goes wild. In a very compressed time
frame, you will be taken on a journey through past events in your life
now. You will briefly relive key moments in your life (especially the
emotions). You will see both your actions and inactions from a higher
point of view: the same point of view as a
Life Review.
*
Purpose of Paging:
The purpose of "Paging" is to help the person
to consolidate the gains in awareness they have made to date. The goal
is to prepare them for a greater role in the future. Perhaps this is
because the individual will experience rapid career advancement. Or
they will take on greater health or relationship challenges. Or they
may need to facilitate such changes for others. "Paging" helps the
person meet and master whatever life experiences karma has in store
for them.
*
Handling Paging:
"Paging" is a rare experience that very few
receive. Those who do receive it will handle it without difficulty.
The truth is "Paging" sounds worse than it is. "Paging" cannot harm
the person receiving it. The whole point of "Paging" is to prepare
the individual for a life full of greater karmic responsibilities.
So the best way to handle "Paging" is to just let it happen and to
trust in the process.
*
Results of Paging:
After the "Paging" is completed, you should
notice a change. You will start by noticing that problematic events
from the past no longer upset you. You will find that what used to
stress you out no longer does. You will feel more at peace with others
who have caused problems in your life. You will attract greater
challenges in your life and discover you are better able to handle
them.
The drive to transcend oneself (and their past
life karma) manifests as craving the reality (in the present) to make
it happen. This is why people choose to incarnate into unpleasant
realities... why they crave their reality (like bad families) enough
to agree to their
Life Contract.
*
Craving Diamonds:
We all are like pieces of
coal that crave their greater reality of becoming
a diamond. Over time and with the
pressure of life experience driven by karma, we learn to be and do more.
Like that piece of coal, our character is progressively refined,
developed, and perfected until it sparkles like a diamond.
*
Toxic Parents:
There are nothing like toxic parents to install
"bad" programs inside our minds. Their broken records of "you are not
good enough", their treatment of you like "a second class citizen",
their actions backing up their words (neglect, abuse, etc) erode your
self esteem. Those who "crave the reality" of toxic parents are learning
how to be the wellspring of their own love so their self esteem is not
dependent on another's approval (and is only dependent on themselves).
*
Rotten Romances:
There are nothing like rotten relationship
partners to wreck what little bits of self esteem remain after years of
toxic parents and false friends. Those who are "not good enough" are
bound to attract rotten romances. Those who "crave the reality" of
rotten romantic partners are learning how to define their own personal
space and boundaries in a way that empowers them to love, honor, and
cherish themselves at the deepest level in each and every situation.
*
False Friends:
There are nothing like false friends to take
advantage of us and crush out any other bits of self esteem we have
left. Whether they are time, money, or energy vampires, false friends
are always hurtful. Those who "crave the reality" of false friends
are learning how to treat themselves with greater loving kindness.
*
Deadly Diseases:
There is nothing like a body, a mind, or emotions
that are "broken" to get you to appreciate what a well functioning body,
mind, or emotions can do. Those who "crave the reality" of experiencing
deadly diseases are learning how to love, honor, and respect their body,
mind, and emotions even more.
