"The chains of habit are too weak to be felt until
they are too strong to be broken." (Samuel Johnson)
"An unwanted thought is like an unwanted guest, pay no attention to the
guest, don't feed the guest, don't talk to the guest, and rest assured,

The PAST is Still PRESENT
in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Our violent past left many imprints on us, some so severe as to haunt
our lives now and to impair our effective functioning in society. Here are the
most common causes of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder driven by
past life resonances:
***
Hoarding Type of OCD Thought Patterns
OCD Pattern:
Rampant hoarding of ALL objects including trash.
Rampant Hoarders:
Individuals who keep everything they have ever
received or every penny they have ever made. In past lives, even trash, which
served as insulation, could be the difference between life and death.
OCD Pattern:
Rampant guarding of objects considered valuable.
Object Mania:
Whether it was State Papers, expensive jewelry, or
other pricey/sensitive objects, failure to store valuable objects properly
could merit a brutal beating or even a death sentence past lives.
OCD Pattern:
Rampant guarding of objects through excessive intervention.
Always Guarding:
Endlessly checking drawers, door, locks, and appliances
to make sure they are shut, locked, or turned off. Successfully guarding
against fire and theft meant job security in past lives.
***
Cleanliness Type of OCD Thought Patterns
OCD Pattern:
Constantly washing hands, feet, or other body parts.
Excessive Washing:
In times of plague, leprosy, typhoid, etc,
constant washing was a popular home remedy to ward them off. The more one
washed, the safer one was supposed to be from infectious illness.
OCD Pattern:
Always on guard against the presence of germs.
Germ Freaks:
Since Louis Pasteur's discovery of germs, many with
past life fears of disease developed fears of bodily germs, waste, or fluids
which drive it. This triggers subconscious past deaths from dirt/disease.
OCD Pattern:
Constantly arranging/re-arranging items in certain ways.
Cleaning Standards:
Those who have to clean what is already clean
usually were beaten to death by masters for failing to "clean up"
according to their ridiculous rules (of balance, exactness, order, symmetry, etc).
***
Eccentric Type of OCD Thought Patterns
OCD Pattern:
Unnecessary repeated motions which create excessive time delays.
Repeated Actions:
Those who must open and close doors, get up and
sit down, or touch objects a specific number of times have ritual OCD. In past
lives, these were all rituals mandated by monarchs on pain of death.
OCD Pattern:
Constantly thinking about certain sounds, images, or words.
Rote Memory:
In past lives, teachers believed that the only way
everyone could learn was through constant repitition. Those who were
"slow" were pressured into putting non-stop attention on memorization.
OCD Pattern:
Constantly counting certain numbers over and over again.
Spreadsheet Void:
In past lives, without technology to perform
complex calculations, individuals had to perform multiple counts of the
same items to make sure they got it right... or suffer a beating or
a death sentence.
***
Risk Averse Type of OCD Thought Patterns
OCD Pattern:
Fear of thinking evil or sinful thoughts or acting contrary to religion.
Scrupulosity:
For many, in past lives, used
religion as a life raft. They believed that if they avoided sin like
the plague, then nothing bad could ever happen to them. So they
scrutinize their every action.
OCD Pattern:
Fear of doing work incorrectly and of making mistakes.
Workaholic:
"Work makes free" was a motto in past lives.
There is a constant nagging worry that tasks were done poorly, even when they
know the individual knows for a fact that is not true.
OCD Pattern:
Fear of harming a family, friend, or acquaintance inadvertantly.
Karmic Poison:
Those whose jobs forced them into killing
or maiming others in past lives fear doing so in the present. They often
fear their own physical strength and always mistrust results of their own actions.
***
Risk Taking Type of OCD Thought Patterns
