A couple years ago my beloved friend Laura was holding a past-life-regression class and I decided to bring my son with me. He was 12 at the time. He is an ancient soul who was born a giant-hearted, cautious 86-year-old man. When he turned 11 I felt very strongly that I could teach him of the many things I had learned throughout my spiritual journey. He’d listen to my stories with wide eyes and an open mind. He was born with the gift of sight. I understand most parents would have chalked his visions off as an active imagination, but I knew better. The bumps in the night are real. The gift is in our bones. My immediate family doesn’t have “the gift” so for me it was VERY difficult growing up being able to sense things “on the other side.” When my son started telling me of the things he could see, I did what I wished my parents had done as I was growing up; I taught him how to keep “them” at bay with prayers and angels and boundaries. I think he’s grown accustomed to “it,” but I have to admit, one never really grows accustomed to the many ways Spirit will surprise you and enter your day-to-day life.
On this particular day we were so excited to share this experience of being lightly “put-under” by Laura. She did an exercise with us to go to a past life and the “in-between” space. The “In-between” is the space we go in between lives. We can go anywhere. We can stay in “Heaven” and learn and grow. We can walk among the living on Earth, anything we desire, we can do during this time.
My son’s experiences were so vivid and strong. He was taken to “the in-between.” He was walking around a BEAUTIFUL garden as himself as he is in this life. As he walked around he peered into some flowers and noticed that each flower had a glass-like ball as their centers and when he peered into the flowers, he could see a different life he had lived. One life had him as a lone-Yeti type man. Living off the land in the wilderness, with a long beard and animal skins as clothes. He said he never saw another person and he preferred it that way. I found that very interesting, as like me, he’s perfectly fine being alone for long periods of time. He seems to recharge in silence and solitude. Funny thing- he HATES the outdoors though- bugs, especially flying bugs send him squealing like a little girl indoors. HA HA! Perhaps his death involved angry bees or a swarm of some sort, for those are what send him into a panic in this life. We carry residue of our old lives in our fears and loves and hobbies. If you don’t like the ocean perhaps your ship sunk and that was how you perished in a past life. If you don’t like tightly enclosed spaces, perhaps you were trapped in a cave or a closet and died that way in a past life. I’ve come to find that many people who are born with asthma died in a fire in a past life. Energetic healings are VERY helpful in ACTUALLY healing these conditions we are born with.
The next scene for my son was a life where he was a young Native American Indian. He said he was a hunter, “not a good hunter, or the chief, just a hunter in my tribe.” He was young, he said he felt like in his twenties. He was in his teepee and had a very young baby boy and a wife, name Mary. He loved her so deeply, he said it was overwhelming. “Mom! I loved her so much!” He told me and in his re-telling, he was tearing up and I could feel the giant, deep love he felt for his wife in that life. He said the next thing he knew a bear had torn into their teepee and he watched as it attacked and mauled his wife to death. He shot at the bear, but the bear escaped. The next scene in that life he was taken to was he and his son a little older, walking around in the wilderness. He said he loved his son very much, but that it didn’t compare to his love for his lost wife. The next scene he was taken to he said he was much older and had come across the same bear who had attacked his wife. He remembered pulling his bow and arrow and shooting the bear, but he lost the attack and was killed.
When Laura brought us back from our other-wordly adventure, my son “woke up” with teary eyes. His emotion was so giant and genuine. I saw him take deep breaths and swallow whatever he was feeling. Later, when we were on our way home and in the car, he told me of his experiences. He said, “Mom, I loved Mary so much!” And kept swallowing his sadness of her loss. It was as if even in this life he couldn’t forgive himself for allowing that bear to kill his wife. I started to feel a lump in my throat and tears welling up in my eyes as well. I reached out for his hand and said, “You wait for Mary. Don’t let stupid girls talk you into marrying them, you wait for Mary!” He nodded, grinned a tiny grin, turned his head out the window and said, “But mom, what if she chose not to incarnate in this life?”
“holy effing cow. I have taught him too good.” I thought to myself. I looked forward, thinking of the right answer, but could only reply, “That’s a legitimate concern, Bub. I don’t know. You’re right. She may not have.” — although now as I type this I’ve just realized, he would not have gotten that vision if she wasn’t going to incarnate in this life! That was his soul’s (and hers!) way of giving him a heads up! A peek at her energetic signal so he can recognize it in this life. I AM SO EFFING EXCITED!!! OF COURSE SHE INCARNATED IN THIS LIFE! He’s an ancient soul and he could have had ANY past life come up in this ONE group he came with me to!!!!!
I often think about the karmic-bond that was formed in that life between my son and that bear. Taking two lives is a massive energy that may connect my son to the bear for a very long time…. that is unless if the lesson of “forgiveness” has been learned by my son, in which case it would destroy any negative karmic bonds.
We come to breathe and live and die and experience everything. We come to hurt, to heal, to kill and to love. Human relationships are so complicated and multi-faceted. We don’t just get to love our loved ones once, we come back in every form to experience all the ways a human can love another. We take turns being children, wives, husbands, cousins, siblings- everything. The secret to this living of all of the lives- is to understand that every personality is perfect. Every life path is perfect. Our Maker’s love and affections cannot be lessened or taken away from us and is never ending. Each person in your life (even the two-second interaction with the person at the grocery store) has been perfectly coordinated to help you learn and exercise what you were born to do. If self-worth is your lesson, you may find yourself surrounded with people who treat you like garbage. They came because they love you so much, they agreed to become COMPLETELY UNLIKE themselves so that you could learn to love yourself separate from the actions and opinions of others. You were meant to understand that you are amazing exactly as you are right now, and that God delights over you exactly as you are right now.
