Opportunities in Life and Past Life Regressions
Just Thinking Things Over
Note: Channeled portions of this article are in a bold italics font.
I think there are all sorts of ways you can direct the outcome of your life. There are short-term decisions you can make, there are long-term plans you can make, or you can be open to opportunity.
This is where something happens in your life: you meet somebody, or you hear about an event or an organization that just starts the bells ringing in your heart. Those bells are the opportunities that come your way. It is more difficult to view something bad that happens as an opportunity, but that happens all the time. In my own experience, it just takes time to recognize the difficult thing as being an opportunity. My friend Thayer once told me when I was complaining about somebody in my life, “They might be your best teacher right now.” And, when you think about things that way, somehow, patience not known to you before pokes its little head up for consideration.
Granted, as a kid growing up, it is difficult to have control over your life path. It can be parented right out of you. I have a bit of experience with that, but early on, I learned just to keep my mouth shut and not talk about it. Did that result in emotional challenges? Yes, it did. So what? It’s part of life. I worked through it the best I could without guidance, which was our way, or later, as a functioning adult, I sought therapy for the angst I’d been feeling.
Looking back on it all in retrospect? Yeah, even the tough times were good. I’m happy enough with who I am right now at the age of 68. The grand experiment worked. From my point of view, in any case.
What others might think? I’m sure there are some of them out there who think I’ll be going straight to Hell when I die. It doesn’t bother me, though. I wish them good luck in their own narrow-minded lives. Over the years, I’ve come to believe that our afterlife is probably as creative as our present life is.
Once, I was thinking about the political bad guys so present in our lives. They have caused me many years of angst and grief. One of my guides said to me, “We still have hot spots in Heaven.” It was a comfort to think of that. Also, it was funny.
Hey, do you guys want to say anything?
Seth: Sure. What do you want to talk about?
Well, I was just talking about how the stuff we choose and the stuff that randomly seems to happen all contribute to who we are as people.
Seth: Yes, and then, there are the things that happened to you in previous lifetimes that spill over into current lifetimes.
Yes, I forgot about Thayer and how he said he had this pretty consistent pain high in his chest. He did a past-life regression and realized when he was a Roman soldier, somebody had killed him by thrusting a spear through his chest.
Seth: Yes, exactly that. You can also bring forward characteristics and physical features. For instance, did you know you’ve been fat in several previous lives?
I don’t know if I want to hear about this one.
Seth: Well, be that as it may, there were reasons for it. There might have been times when you suffered starvation and, when given the opportunity, gorged on whatever you could put your hands on.
Of course, with the power of suggestion, such as what happened just now, our feelings are you might buy into the idea hook, line, and sinker, as they say. Or, someday, when you are doing a past life regression, you might see if you can experience it.
You know, this is up there with me seeing the dead bodies all circling above me. The time when I was in the big barn with light coming in through the gaps in the boards on the walls. I could see dust motes in the sunlight, and I was horrified and confused. Everywhere I turned, I kept banging into their feet and legs.
Seth: Yes. Like that.
I have to say to everybody that was in the early days of me doing past life regressions. There was a boatload of energy associated with that one. When you’re new to doing regressions, the big ones sort of smack you in the face first. I did a few more regressions and kept getting the horrific and scary scenes. I asked my Spirit Guide, Seth, what was going on. He asked me to remember that everyone, no matter who they are, does have happier moments in their lives. He said for me to concentrate on seeing nicer and happier times.
Seth, is it possible to get in touch with folks you’ve known in previous lifetimes? What if they’ve incarnated again?
Seth: Yes, certainly, it is possible. In fact, you can have more than one life at a time going on at the same time, but your soul will always be available. So, yes, it is possible. How do you know Ben hasn’t reincarnated?
Well, I don’t. You’ve got a point. I’ll be sure to try it out and see if anything happens. By the way, everybody, I don’t have children in this lifetime, but Ben came to me in Spirit once many years ago. He is a son from another lifetime and got me through a sad spot where I was once again grieving my not having children in this lifetime. I put a link below to a story about Ben I wrote. I also put a link to an article I wrote on how to do a past-life regression.
