Hello again to you, my brother in spirit Karabo,
It was my pleasure and privilege to give you your previous reading in May of this year, and I am very impressed with you both as a person and a valued member and friend in return. What you may view as your shyness comes across to me as a simple honesty, and you having a nice way about you which immediately makes me and probably many of the other members on Mystic Boards take a definite and instant liking to you.
I for one am very glad that you chose this spiritual online community as your second family home way from home or what feels to you to be a safe place to be able to share your spiritual beliefs and questions with like minded people from all over the planet, in preference to the many other "spiritual/psychic" sites, which unfortunately lack the same friendly, family feeling which is so strong here or charge like a wounded bull for services which will always remain free on MB.
Now finally onwards to helping to answer your question about your soul's history, up until this moment in time. I do not myself give past life readings on this board, but I believe that I can help you using another method which is why I responded in preference to another reader who does these types of readings. I hope that you will not feel disappointed if I do not give you a past life reading, and if you are next month I will step out of the way, and give Cascade of Light (Cassie) an opportunity to do one for you in my place.

| I've for the longest time been interested to know what we are exactly, where we're from, going to as human souls. Only recently have I opened myself to other structures of spirituality that's not in religion so hadn't before been open to ideas of reincarnation, psychic abilities, things like that...but now that i'm more open to those concepts I find myself asking how they relate to me specifically...like i have nothing within my immediate consciousness that says I've lived here before, I would love to find out who i might have been before and things like that. |
For most of my nearly 59 years I have also been deeply interested in these same subjects, and when I was about 16 years old I conducted my own personal, comparative investigation of most of the major world religions including Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism and I compared each religion's core beliefs with all the others.
I concluded that each of the religions had certain central core beliefs in common with the others, and that most of the conflict between them in the world past, present and most likely the future has been, is now and will likely continue to be a result of petty, minor disagreements about non core beliefs which to be honest with you are relatively unimportant to the bigger picture.
One of the most strongly held beliefs which is shared by many of these religions, but has been more buried or suppressed in Christianity is the concept of reincarnation - the idea that our souls develop and learn over a period of hundreds, thousands or indeed millions of years by taking on or clothing themselves with a series of different physical bodies which our souls put on at birth to be able to function and move around in a physical world, and on this physical plane of existence.
Then at the moment of your physical death or transition, the soul or spirit is thought to permanently separate itself from it's now no longer needed physical vehicle, which returns to the Earth from which it was created. The soul then progresses to higher spiritual planes where it is thought at some stage it reincarnates in another human body and in a different time period or culture (and possibly this time as a member of the opposite sex).
Rather than reincarnation being a system of rewards and punishments for us doing something right or wrong, or good or bad in a past life, it is a series of carefully graded lessons, each of which has been specifically designed for the optimum or maximum education, growth and development of that unique soul, and of no other soul.
And this is precisely why I choose not to give readings in this special area, although I do respect the right of other readers to make their own minds up about whether this should be done through the internet, in contrast to doing it person to person where the proper emotional and possibly also medical support can be provided if and when necessary by a qualified and trained fully professional person such as a doctor, psychologist, psychiatrist who also is qualified to use past life hypnotic regression methods.
It is my opinion that the only safe way for you to personally in private investigate who you could have possibly been in a past life is to do a meditation where your mantra or the question which you are repeatedly asking yourself while in a lightly relaxed state of mind is....
WHO AM I?
Please do not assume that what appears to be such a simple straight forward question does not have the power or ability to free up your knowledge about your past life identities, as the positive feedback I have received from people I have taught this method to in the past shows clearly that you would be terribly wrong to assume such a thing.
I always recommend that the person does a maximum of 20 minutes of this meditation technique, preferably at the same time each day when he can get a quiet, uninterrupted time for himself away from ringing telephones, barking dogs, other family members and all the other many distractions and noises we have to put with these days, in the house where we live.
Lightly close (do not force closed) your eyelids in a partially darkened room, and behind your nearly closed eyelids turn your eyeballs slightly upwards, as if you were looking at a point half way between your two eyebrows (the claimed location of your brow psychic energy centre/chakra/third eye). Now for the 20 minutes or less, do some slow deep breathing exercises, and focus on your question/mantra.
It will be most effective if you do it slowly and do not repeat the mantra until other distracting thoughts get in the way. Becoming tense and repeating it robot like hundreds of times over and over like a parrot is the best way to stop it working for you. Passively observe any other thoughts which might interfere, then repeat your mantra without losing your relaxed state of mind in the process (easier said than done).
Although it is possible that you will soon start getting some positive results during your private meditation sessions, most of it will only come when you are fast asleep and dreaming. Genuine past life dreams are quite different in how they feel and look, when compared to those which are not past life related, but there are sadly no general, blanket rules which can be applied in every person's situation, which could accurately and reliably test if it was most likely to be a genuine past life experience which you were dreaming about that night.
All that I can tell you is that when you finally do have one of these past life dreams, you will be in no doubt that you have been given a privileged but often frustratingly brief glimpse into your soul's evolution and its history.
There are however certain situations where doing these investigations would be either unwise or potentially dangerous. I am not saying that any of these necessarily apply to you, but it would be irresponsible and criminally negligent of me not to warn you about these when giving you this meditation method, then leave it up to you to decide whether or not to listen to my advice in your best interests.
If you are seriously depressed or currently suffer from a serious medically diagnosed personality disorder, emotional or mental illness, under no conditions should you ever attempt this technique. If your ego boundaries (a feeling of being a separate person from everyone else) are already weak, this could make it one hundred times weaker than it already is. Either avoid doing it at all, or only do it under the guidance and supervision and with the full knowledge and permission of your treating physician or doctor of the mind.
The same warning but much more so is given if you are either presently using illegal, recreational or medically prescribed legal prescription drugs (especially antidepressants, anti psychotics, emotional modifiers etc). Use extreme caution if this is true. Once again only a professionally qualified and adequately trained doctor can advise you as to whether this would be safe in the immediate future. Later it might well be OK, but just not right now. If you suffer from a chronic illness, again exercise sensible precautions to protect what remains of your health at all times.
So in summary I feel that there is no safe and effective reading I can give you over the internet, to help you learn exactly who you might have been in one or more of your past lives.
Think about your reasons for wanting to find out who you were in a past life, as this could unintentionally open you up to more problems than it will ever solve,
if your reasons are not seen as valid and respectful to your soul.
Once you have made this major commitment of energy and time to learning about your soul path, and have regularly put aside time each day to work with this meditation, and have started recording your dreams and waking visions in your psychic journal, it will be next to impossible to stop, reverse or fix any damage which you have unknowingly done.
If on the other hand your reasons were the right ones, you will neither need nor want to stop, reverse or repair the positive progress which you have already made.
If you do go ahead and follow my advice and do the meditation and keep a psychic journal, please post any further questions about your investigations only on the main psychic forum, of which this board is only a sub forum.
At the same time as you do this send me a short PM to let me know that you have posted it there, as I do not have enough time to monitor other boards, plus give readings to everyone who requests them.
Do not post your questions either on this or any of the other reading forums, and do not send them to me through a private message.
Just PM your alert about having posted the questions on the main psychic forum, and I will try to get around to answering them as soon as it is humanly possible, but with my readings on this and other websites always being given a higher priority over or ahead of them.
Hoping that this has not disappointed you too much in you not getting a past life reading where the reader does all of the work or you. I am one of those people who believes that just as many other things in life these days are not currently treated with the sense of importance, respect and sacredness which they deserve, our natural curiosity about our soul's unique path through eternity is also often misused and abused by people who are not qualified or of sound moral values, with the intention to manipulate or gain control over that person to further their own cause or make a lot of money out of their suffering.
There are also many genuine and qualified people working in this field both online and off-line who are helping people to the best of their abilities to investigate their past lives when the most likely reasons for their fears and other puzzling symptoms have not already been explained by what happened earlier in this life time , and it is for people like this that I continue to have the greatest admiration and respect for the wonderful healing and teaching mission which they are on.
Respectfully yours,
EoT
