When people are dealing with the same incidents and issues again, or, when they get confronted with the same fear or even become the victim of something, the origin can lie in a past life, and in the current life, it is to work it out. I know this will be a sensitive topic, but I dare to touch it for today’s post. You will soon see why!

About twenty years ago, I took a first look at past lives. The first “memory” I revised must have been in medieval times (or at least so it appeared to me). I was a child of eight or nine years and found myself sitting alone in the middle of a meadow. I walked to the nearby village. The streets were empty, and I noticed a sound coming from the church. I entered the church, but no one took notice of me. I sat on a bench and watched the scenery. The whole village must have been in the church. When I looked at the altar, I saw a casket. Now, it was clear why no one looked at me. It was my funeral.
We went a bit further back in time. I was still alive and accompanied my father to work. He was a stonecutter and worked at a little chapel beside a canyon. I played and ran around when suddenly, I saw the canyon right below me. I realized that I was falling – the cause of my death. 
So, my conclusion was, that this was the reason for my fear of heights. In the same session, I went into another story, and there, I fell down the stairs, which confirmed my theory.

So, the conclusion, in general, would be that one or several bad experiences regarding the same issue haunt us for the rest of our time. And we need to overcome what happened to us to free ourselves? NO! We are not the poor victims who even have to dig themselves out of the mud others threw them in. A few years ago, a schoolmate from elementary school and I met for a coffee. I had no idea how spiritual he was. But he opened my eyes to this topic. 

The reason that I am afraid of heights is not that I accidentally fell or was pushed. The origin is that I had pushed someone else before. I pondered for a moment and then smiled. It made complete sense to me, and I like this explanation much more. It is the same as when we say: “What we sow, we reap” or “What I send out, I will get back to me”. I don’t know why I had not considered it the same rule. That way, I direct my experiences and take the consequences. If I believed in the victim’s story, I would have no say over my life and would be pushed back and forth at will by a higher power – although, I have free will. The victim would even be punished for what others did to them. That does not make sense at all. I like believing I was the perpetrator, and now I have to experience the other side. That’s fair, and I can deal better with this issue. That’s how we learn and evolve. That can be applied to anything we have to deal with in our lives, like losses, diseases, and being mistreated. And here we get to why I said it is a sensitive topic. Most people back off and refuse to look at this theory. They don’t want to know anything about them causing their mess themselves and that they were the bad guy. Of course, the same works with the good things we receive in life. We might have done something pretty well in the past that good things come our way today. Someone saves your life because you once saved their life. 

You know, I am no expert regarding past life therapy, and I don’t claim that everything can be explained that way. Definitely not! There can be agreements between two incarnating souls about what they do to each other to share experiences (maybe that is even standing in a context) or other reasons. I don’t even think we are coming down here for doing bad things to each other. Every experience makes us develop, and I believe that other souls make themselves available to be the bad guys, fully aware that they add bad karma – what wonderful souls those are. That is one of the reasons I believe in the good in everyone. Only the worst people activate good ones and make our collective awareness reach a higher level. 

So, only because it makes complete sense to me doesn’t need to make sense to you. But since I learned to visit past lives myself, I saw quite some nasty stuff I did, and it makes me even more want to be a good person now. I am not afraid of looking at past lives. It is over – it is history. But it can give hints of how to make something better and solve bad karma or prevent me from creating more of it. Maybe I am even completely wrong. But this theory does at least support better behavior and gives the idea that there is justice that always finds the originator – sooner or later. 

Not what I experience, but what I do creates my future.

It is a huge topic, and there is so much more about it. So many thoughts are racing through my mind now. I would love to discuss what you think about this and what experiences you have had.
