Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Look To Your Past Lives To Learn Your Future

By Derek Hughes


If we look closely at world religions, we see that many speak about life being a cycle. We go around and around, treading similar ground. There is comfort in the knowledge that not only will we be here again but that we have been here in the past. It just makes sense, which might explain why most people on the planet believe in reincarnation. Maybe you believe in past lives or maybe you have doubts. Either way, it is worth looking into and there are some easy tools you can use.

Do you keep a journal? If not, try writing down the things that happen to you every day. If you already keep one, then take a close look at it. What does it tell you about your life? Look for times when you felt the pull of strong emotion. Strong emotional experiences resonate through our lives both past and present and can be clues to what has a deeper meaning in our lives. Like a puzzle, the pieces can fit together and a clear picture might begin to emerge.

If you want answers, like most of us do, you will be surprised to learn that a simple thing like a list of your likes and dislikes can help reveal the dues you carry. You can put anything important to you on the list, like feelings about your parents, your car, the town you live in, the neighbors cat. Think about yourself, your own personal talents and quirks. Do you laugh loudly? Are you an excellent dancer? Were you popular or unpopular? Do you even care about popularity? All these details can give us clues as to what dues we carry.

There are also your dreams. They have long been held to be significant as harbingers of the future, but they are also offer an excellent view of the past. It is all in how you look at them. Write them down in as much detail as you can remember. They contain powerful symbols. The meanings of these symbols can be pulled out over time so long as we write them all down.

We can help our dreams speak more clearly through the power of positive suggestion. By reminding ourselves, just before we go to sleep, that tonight we are going to explore our past lives in our dreams, we cue the subconscious to get busy. Then, while we dream, the fruits of that unconscious labor appear before our wondering eyes, ripe for the plucking. As in all things, practice makes perfect. Keep reminding yourself and then writing down your dreams and soon you will hold the key that will unlock the door to your past, present and future.

Another way to find keys to the past is through meditation. If you have time, take a few hours each week and sit quietly with yourself. Breathe deeply and relax. Focus on your inner self and let your mind wander free. Just sit and observe. Remember what you see and record it in your journal.

You can meditate during the day, while you are going about your chores. Maybe you are stuck in a traffic jam, or on the subway, or waiting for an appointment. Take a moment and remind yourself that you are trying to learn more about your own past and the many lives you have led. Your subconscious is very open to suggestion. Just keep reminding it (and yourself) that it is time to pay attention to the details. And then write those details down.

If you are able to visit a past-life regression therapist, then that is an excellent path. They can help you get down deep within your past lives and bring up details you might have missed. They can also help you interpret your regression. Bring along your journals and any questions you might have. Therapists are trained to help you. Look for one certified by the International Association for Regression and Research Therapies or the International Association of Past Life Therapists. Or visit these groups directly and find a therapist in your area.

There is no reason not to try it. The experience can be helpful whether or not you believe in reincarnation. You may find out some things you did not know about yourself.
