Introducing The Collective

Reading Time: 3 minutes

In the past 16 years of facilitating past life regressions, I’ve experienced many fascinating cases, far too many to count. However, there are a few sessions that continue to stand out. Two years ago, a woman named Kelly came to do a past life regression. Even though it was very strange and new territory for her, she felt intuitively drawn to experience a past life regression. Recently, she encouraged me to share her story because of the far-reaching impact of that session.

Her journey began during the part of the session when the past life is over and the soul goes into the soul realm. Kelly began speaking in a male voice. This voice imparted wisdom and information about the many changes happening on our planet today. When the session was over, I told Kelly, “You were channeling.”

She replied, “What’s that?” Metaphysics was new to her. In fact, she had only recently been a committed Christian teaching adult bible study in a local church. Curious, she began to study some well known people who channel spiritual beings, such as Lee Carroll, Ester Hicks and Jane Roberts.

Not long after the session, Kelly and her husband Rick travelled to Sedona. While there, on three separate occasions, each psychic told her pretty much the same thing: “Do you know that you are a channel for a collective of star nations?” After the third time she heard that, Kelly, still a bit skeptical, said, “I need some confirmation of that.” The third psychic said that she would soon receive that confirmation on her way home.

Driving to the airport, Kelly was startled to see a UFO in front of their car keeping pace with them. She screamed, “Rick! Do you see that UFO?” He could not. She witnessed several UFO’s the next few days near her home in Wisconsin while no one else could. She was concerned she might be going a bit crazy until two weeks later when Rick also began seeing them. In fact, they would sit outside on their lawn chairs together and watch UFO’s, noticing that no one else could see them.

Even though Kelly continued to receive messages from the discarnate beings wanting to speak through her, she still felt uncomfortable, as anyone would. She wanted to see them and talk with them directly to get further proof before she agreed to channel their messages. They suggested that she come to see me again for a Life-Between-Lives session. That was just over a year ago. At that session, Kelly not only saw them but communicated with them directly, receiving the confirmation she was looking for. During that session, the beings (whom Kelly named The Collective) began talking to me. They told me I would soon speak to various organizations. I thought to myself, “That would be nice since it’s been over two years since I spoke to a group.” Within two weeks, I had invitations to speak to four different organizations.

After that confirmation, I became more interested in the wisdom and advice The Collective wants to share with humanity as we go through the many transformative changes on this planet. One of the messages they share is that we need to raise our vibration by identifying ourselves as the divine beings we are rather than believing any thoughts of “not good enough” from our human experience.

Since Kelly’s last session on July 3, 2017, she has begun channeling messages from The Collective regularly. She and Rick have made several trips to the Twin Cities from their home in Appleton, Wisconsin to channel The Collective’s messages for interested groups, the next one being September 15th at the DoubleTree in Minneapolis. The messages have been mind-expansive, providing a clearer view of a larger reality beyond this physical realm of earth. The Collective can also answer any question you may have regarding earth changes, the spirit realm, personal issues, or anything you can think of. They describe themselves as a collection of beings from the 5th dimension to the twelfth and beyond, some of them arch-angels.

The consciousness expansion that comes once you embark on the spiritual path never ends. Not only do you accumulate more wisdom, but also many experiences that often lie beyond your previous belief system.

Going Within to Get Precisely What You Need

Reading Time: 2 minutes

One of the themes of my work is: “As you go within, you get what you need”…especially to the degree that you are wanting, needing and asking for it. This happens because the wiser soul part of you already has what the ego mind personality is looking for. And one could say that it is “more true” that you are that wise soul self more than you are the ego body/mind system, because one aspect of you lives on, the other doesn’t.

I’m sharing a case study that perfectly exemplifies “going within to get what you need”. I changed the client’s name for confidentiality.

Cynthia, a woman nearing 60, had tears in her eyes as we talked about the passing of her mother just prior to her past life regression. “I just need to know if my mom really loved me,” she cried. Although she may have intellectually understood that her mother probably loved her, there were no words that could reassure her at a deeper level because her subconscious mind didn’t fully believe it because of a hurtful growing up experience of feeling rejected and neglected. Fortunately, past life regression connects a person to their Higher Self, and this part of her knew exactly what she needed in the session.

Cynthia saw a past life of a happily married, wealthy woman with several children. “Home feels good…there’s nothing to want for.” But a few years later, her 9-year old daughter suddenly died. She was too grief-stricken to nurture her other children. “It feels like part of me is gone…the other children need me, but I can’t be there all the way. I never got over the loss of my daughter.” In the soul realm she said, “I couldn’t give my children what they needed…the love was there but couldn’t be expressed.” Then the insight began to sink in that Mary’s mother in this life was carrying so much pain from her own past that she couldn’t express the love for her children that had always been there underneath the many stressors of her life.

A week after the session Cynthia wrote, “It’s the most unusual thing, as a result of my past life regression, I know my mother loves me. It always felt that she didn’t love me because I thought she saw something in me that was not lovable, not worthy of love…I was given a gift from my Higher Self. It’s a gift of knowing I was loved by my mom. I was unable to “know” this deep down. “Knowing” is the only word I can think of to use, yet it doesn’t feel like the same knowing as in everyday terms. I am so grateful. This is a gift more valuable than any gift.”

Past life regression is an effective means to help you understand and know beyond a doubt at a deep, core level the truth of your value and worth. It also allows you to become more acutely aware of the love within a family that is always there beneath the hurts, misunderstandings and lack of communication. This is because the process bypasses the intellectual mind and trumps the subconscious mind’s beliefs of unworthiness which are based in life’s hurtful experiences. The process connects you to a higher vibration soul dimension of yourself that not only is based in love, but can also see through the subconscious mind’s programming and conditioning from the earth life.

The Value of Expressing Emotions

Reading Time: 4 minutes

I’ve seen many clients who learned at a young age to repress their emotions because it didn’t feel safe to express them growing up. The downside to this is that stuffed emotional energy can get trapped in the body/mind system and can have a “pressure-cooker” effect, resulting in depression, anxiety or even aches and pains in the body. Typically, it is these same emotions that get triggered as adults, causing disharmony in relationships. But this is not necessarily a bad thing, because if you begin to think of your emotional triggers as a huge, neon sign with a blinking red finger that points directly to your learned and outdated thoughts, feelings and beliefs from your past that no longer serve you and are ready to be released, it can be the beginning of a cleansing and freeing experience. Your body/mind system then becomes a clear vessel for the brilliance of your soul-self to shine through, and you’ll find life to be a more joyful experience.

I recently came across a passage by Neile Donald Walsch in his Conversations With God book series that discusses the danger of repressing emotions, and the benefits of expressing them. Please enjoy his words:

”Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross maintains that the basis of all our emotions stem from the “five natural emotions”: Grief, anger, envy, fear and love. (At a still deeper level, grief, anger and envy are based out of fear, thus leaving fear and love as the great polarity. Ultimately, all of our feelings, thoughts, choices and actions are sponsored by, and based in, love or fear.)

Unfortunately, we have imprisoned our five natural emotions, repressing them and turning them into very unnatural emotions which, in turn, bring us much unhappiness. The model of behavior for centuries on this planet has been: do not indulge your emotions. If you’re feeling grief, get over it; if you’re feeling angry, stuff it; if you’re feeling envious, be ashamed of it; if you’re feeling fear, rise above it; if you’re feeling love, control it, limit it, wait with it, run from it – do whatever you have to do to stop from expressing it, full out, right here, right now.

It is time to set ourselves free. We have been living too long in a prison of our own devise. It is time to set ourselves, our Holy Selves, free.

Grief is a natural emotion. It’s that part of you which allows you to say goodbye when you don’t want to say goodbye; to express – push out, propel – the sadness within you at the experience of any kind of loss. It could be the loss of a loved one, or the loss of a contact lens.

When you are allowed to express your grief, you get rid of it. Children who are allowed to be sad when they are sad feel very healthy about sadness when they are adults, and therefore usually move through their sadness very quickly.

Children who are told, “There, there, don’t cry,” have a hard time crying as adults. After all, they’ve been told all their life not to do that. So they repress their grief. Grief that is continually repressed becomes chronic depression, a very unnatural emotion. People have killed because of chronic depression. Wars have started, nations have fallen.

Anger is a natural emotion. It is the tool you have which allows you to say, “No, thank you.” It does not have to be abusive, and it never has to be damaging to another. When children are allowed to express their anger, they bring a very healthy attitude about it to their adult years, and therefore usually move through their anger very quickly.

Children who are made to feel that their anger is not okay – that it is wrong to express it, and in fact, that they shouldn’t even experience it – will have a difficult time appropriately dealing with their anger as adults. Anger that is continually repressed becomes rage, a very unnatural emotion. People have killed because of rage. Wars have started, nations have fallen.

Envy is a natural emotion. It is the emotion that makes a five-year-old wish he could reach the doorknob the way his sister can – or ride that bike. Envy is the natural emotion that makes you want to do it again, to try harder, to continue striving until you succeed. It is very healthy to be envious, very natural. When children are allowed to express their envy, they bring a very healthy attitude about it to their adult years, and therefore usually move through their envy very quickly.

Children who are made to feel that envy is not okay – that it is wrong to express it, and in fact, that they shouldn’t even experience it – will have a difficult time appropriately dealing with their envy as adults. Envy that is continually repressed becomes jealousy, a very unnatural emotion. People have killed because of jealousy. Wars have started, nations have fallen.

Fear is a natural emotion. All babies are born with only two fears: the fear of falling, and the fear of loud noises. All other fears are learned responses, brought to the child by its environment, taught to the child by its parents. The purpose of natural fear is to build in a bit of caution. Caution is a tool that helps keep the body alive. It is an outgrowth of love. Love of Self.

Children who are made to feel that fear is not okay – that it is wrong to express it, and in fact, that they shouldn’t even experience it – will have a difficult time appropriately dealing with their fear as adults. Fear that is continually repressed becomes panic, a very unnatural emotion. People have killed because of panic. Wars have started, nations have fallen.

Love is a natural emotion. When it is allowed to be expressed and received by a child, normally and naturally, without limitation or condition, inhibition or embarrassment, it does not require anything more. For the joy of love expressed and received in this way is sufficient unto itself. Yet love which has been conditioned, limited, warped by rules and regulations, rituals and restrictions, controlled, manipulated, and withheld, becomes unnatural.

Children who are made to feel that their natural love is not okay – that it is wrong to express it, and in fact, that they shouldn’t even experience it – will have a difficult time appropriately dealing with love as adults. Love that is continually repressed becomes possessiveness, a very unnatural emotion. People have killed because of possessiveness. Wars have started, nations have fallen.

And so it is that the natural emotions, when repressed, produce unnatural reactions and responses. And most natural emotions are repressed in most people. Yet these are our friends. These are our gifts. These are our divine tools, with which to craft our experience. We are given these tools at birth. They are to help us negotiate life.

We have been living too long in a prison of our own devise. It is time to set ourselves, our Holy Selves, free!”

Uncovering the Source of a Mother’s Fear

Reading Time: 3 minutes

I’m sharing an example of a past life regression session because it demonstrates how this modality can be very healing on multiple levels. Past life regression often has a “trickle down” effect of alleviating all kinds of subtle fears, even ones that you cannot pinpoint and articulate because your Higher Self knows precisely what you need to grow and move forward more than your conscious mind does.

A young mother (I’ll call her Beth) came in for past life regression therapy to deal with anxiety, depression and some anger. When her 1½ year old son cried, especially at night, she would get chest tightening fears about being a bad mother and not doing a good job.

She regressed to a life as a male military officer who gave orders that resulted in the death of many soldiers. As a decorated officer, he visited the families of some men who had died in battle, and felt guilty and responsible for the grief and struggle that he caused in these fatherless homes. Here are Beth’s words from the session: “As I grow old I become mean and grumpy because I ruined so many people’s lives under my orders, and bitter because I had no choice. I don’t talk about it. I think a lot about Jesus and I hope I go to heaven. I didn’t treat my wife well until I started to die.”

The soul stayed around until after the funeral because it was only after death that he was finally able to take in the love that people had for him. Here are some of the reflections from the vantage point of the soul: “People are proud of those medals, but I had to do a lot of bad stuff to get them. I wanted to let them love me in that life, but I thought if they knew what I did, they wouldn’t have loved me. I can take in that love now and it feels so good. I can be at peace….Time to go….If I come back I want to make a happy home.”

In the soul realm, the soul apologized to the souls of the families who were affected by his orders. We can do this because everyone and everything is ultimately interconnected – especially where there are unresolved issues between beings. But as so often happens in that realm, a knowing response came back that apologies are unnecessary since everyone was blindly role-playing on earth, and everything ultimately turns out fine in the end. Human struggles become opportunities for soul growth. We then could easily release the unresolved thought-form energy of guilt, anger and fear from the heart that the military officer died with and thus got carried over into this incarnation, resulting in Beth’s chest-tightening fears when her baby cried. She then got back warm, bright love…the natural replacement. This resulted in a higher vibration, and then insights began to drop in: “I need to be with my son from love, not fear. It’s ok to have feelings and feel frustrated at times, it doesn’t mean I’m a bad mother. I know I’m a good mother. It’s safe to be myself and be the loving, great mother that I am.” We then let her body fully feel that truth at the cellular level which allowed it to sink deeper in her subconscious mind.

Six weeks later, Beth wrote this: “The session was a big help to me. I felt better right away regarding my son and his crying at night. As the weeks went by, I slowly started feeling less anxious on deeper levels. Not sure how to explain it, but it was just a sense that this life is just one life among many. I knew that before, but after the session for some reason it took a lot of the anxiety away from my everyday life.”

Sometimes we can understand things intellectually, but it doesn’t resonate until we really know it at a deeper “body” level. Beth believed intellectually that her present life as a mother was one of many lives, but towards the end of the session, she was able to feel and experience her “eternalness” while steeped in the freedom, peace and clarity of her soul self. The immortality of her true self “upgraded” from a belief to an inner knowing, thus integrating more deeply into the body/subconscious mind. Then she could more easily feel and live from the truth of her soul instead of conditioned fear-based beliefs.

The feelings of deep inner assurance are within all of us. In fact, we can’t escape them because they are an aspect of who and what we are as a soul, but they do get covered up in this human experience. What I’ve noticed over the years is that for some people, the wisdom and insights of the soul can easily sink in deeply after only one session, while others may need another “reinforcement” session or two, depending on their essence. Whether a person experiences a past life regression, a Life-Between-Lives or an Emotional Healing and Awakening session, each one or a combination of them will deepen and strengthen the integration of the soul’s perspective. This in turn can loosen and heal life-long mental and emotional patterns that hold one back in life and thus bolster one’s identity as a multi-dimensional being.

Healing the Sabotaging Beliefs of Unworthiness

Reading Time: 5 minutes

Nearly everyone feels confident at some times or in some areas of their life, while “not good enough” at other times. As the consciousness level of the planet rises, everyone’s “less than” programs are beginning to get triggered and surface because they don’t resonate to the high vibration frequency that is inherent to your true self. Freedom is an aspect of your true self, and freedom calls anything to the surface that is not free. If you follow the thread of almost any of our inner issues, complexes or fears to their root, they all boil down to some type of belief of unworthiness or “not good enough”. Most people are not even aware of these programs, yet they are built into the human experience.

When we incarnate on earth, we voluntarily cut ourselves off from our conscious connection to Source, to who and what we are as eternal light beings, and therefore become unconscious of our inherent value, power, sense of security and well being. In our early years, we are solely reliant on our caregivers for not only a feeling of safety and security, but also a sense of being loved, valued, cherished and “good enough”. But if our caregivers are living with a lot of their own unconscious unworthy programs, and thus dealing with issues from their own baggage, or else they are too busy to be fully present with us, we can feel neglected and rejected, and thus the seeds of unworthiness can sprout. Growing up in an environment in which we don’t feel safe or cherished can reinforce these feelings of “not good enough”. If you don’t get early emotional needs met, shame can develop. It’s as though an unconscious message becomes imprinted: “If I don’t feel secure or valued, I must not be worthy of it, something is wrong with me.” And shame really feels like it has something to do with you, like it’s part of you, like it defines you. It really feels true, but it isn’t.

Similarly, it seems true that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, but it’s not. From a higher perspective, we see that the earth revolves around the sun and rotates, creating the appearance of the sun rising in the east and setting in the west. When it comes to beliefs of unworthiness and shame, we have to apply the wisdom of Albert Einstein: “you can’t solve a problem at the same level of consciousness that created the problem”, so we go to a higher level of consciousness. How? First, know that you can. Why can you? Because of the vast growing pile of evidence that suggests you are an eternal, indestructible soul being using this body for a human experience.

Science has not yet developed the tools to measure our soul or higher dimensions of course, so for evidence we go to the growing multitude of individual cases of near death experiences, out of body experiences, evidence-based mediums, or accurate recall of past lives through past life regression, like the fascinating, solid case of the skeptical Indianapolis police detective, Robert Snow. Or even better, the increasing number of children who remember verifiable past lives, some of whom can be viewed on youtube.com. Personally, when I first discovered the evidence of reincarnation, I took it as evidence that we were eternal beings, outside of time and space. This insight is a life-changing paradigm shift for some, and an invaluable one. If you are this indestructible being, you should be able to tune into this higher part of you, since we’re multi-dimensional. One way we can do this is by quieting the thinking mind and going within through deep meditation.

When I guide clients within to their higher self, they experience a part of themselves that has a built-in sense of security, well-being, wisdom and clarity. From this vantage point, it becomes very clear that shame has as much to do with you as an old shirt that your mother gave you when you were five. You are not born with shame, it fully comes from outside of you, from the subtle messages that you were given from caregivers and the challenging outside circumstances in your life. You are not those messages. You are far more than your programming and conditioning.

From this higher perspective we can more easily wash away the sticky identity of shame and begin instead to identify more with the truth of who and what we really are – the part of you than lives on, that you can never really escape from. The modern teacher of awakening consciousness, Adyashanti, says: “Enlightenment is really a radical shift in identity.” Although it should be pointed out that he took it a step further…since all souls come from the same one energy source, one’s highest identity is Oneness, which, as any sage will say, is really only realized in the fully awakened state in which you know in your heart and whole being that you are the Christ consciousness, or Oneness consciousness, even more than you know that you are your body.

However, for most of humanity, a valuable identity shift that we can make as individuals and as a society is to first see through any false, shame-based mind programs and freely live from our “more relatively true” authentic selves. Often it is helpful to use body-centered healing methods, such as the Present Life Emotional Healing session that I offer, to release past, outdated thoughts, feelings, beliefs and fears that science has now discovered is stored in the body.

When we heal ourselves and begin to live more from our true, authentic, whole and complete nature, many subtle fears and false beliefs fall away: the fear of being judged, the need to be perfect, the guard around our heart that prevents us from fully loving and hurting, the fear of death, the false belief of “not good enough”, the fear of being unlovable, the fear of being wildly successful…and all the other mind programs that you are here as a soul to see through and no longer be unconsciously governed by. This is the most important work you can do…and when you do it, you’ll no longer be triggered by old emotional baggage so it’s easier to connect with loved ones and co-workers.

In short, we become a freer being, no longer governed by our unconscious false beliefs, or feeling a need to numb our misperceived shortcomings with processed food, chemicals or overworking. You become aware of the Truth that you are and always have been a magnificent, eternal free being that is based in love and joy! True healing is an identity shift and perception shift away. This perception shift is not easily done by the thinking mind, but can be done when you connect to your Higher Self by going within. From here, you know at the core of your being that the negative mind programs swimming in your head are not inherent to you, but totally come from people and circumstances outside of you, and thus the grip of these fears and false beliefs loosen so that you more easily experience and live from your true, whole, complete, loving, free Self! As the modern sage, Leonard Jacobson says, “We are all on the holy journey of becoming that which we already are.”

“Early Visitations to Earth by Superior Beings”

Reading Time: 7 minutes

I’m sharing an article by Micheal Newton that was published in Fate Magazine back in March of 2001. For those not familiar with Michael Newton, I would say that his book Journey of Souls has been one of the top influential books in my life. When I read it in 1996, I finally knew what I wanted to do with my life, and it propelled me into the work I do today. So I finished my masters degree, took hypnotherapy training, then past life regression training, and finally met my goal of getting trained in Life-Between-Lives hypnotherapy with Michael Newton in 2004. Most importantly, along the way, I also met and trained with multitudes of other great practitioners from all over the world who shared their own unique hypnotherapy modalities of healing present and past life issues, most of which I draw on today.

I have met numerous people and clients who have shared that Newton’s book Journey of Souls has changed their lives. For some it provides a paradigm shift from most western thinking that finally makes sense to them: that there is more beneath the surface than we are consciously aware of…we are souls having a certain human experience for specific reasons and purposes that our soul is hoping to accomplish. When we begin to see life through this lens, it can take on a whole new meaning.

This article is different than Newton’s books which mostly focus on the spirit life between earth life incarnations. Instead, it documents recollections of off-world visitors about early times on our planet. It also cross validates research into ancient cultures regarding contact with other races who visited here. These cases are offered through the eyes of the visitors themselves. Please enjoy!

 

“Early Visitations to Earth by Superior Beings” by Micheal Newton

In my hypnotherapy practice as a Spiritual regressionist, I take ordinary people back to their life between lives where they remember an existence as spiritual beings. My clients are also able to recall their experiences in many physical bodies in former lives on Earth. Some even report living on other worlds before they began their reincarnations on Earth. My two books, Journey of Souls (1994) and Destiny of Souls (2000) are primarily devoted to case studies of our soul life in the spirit world. While I have referenced selected cases of clients who have been on other worlds, I have not written about the memories a few clients have of visiting Earth long ago in alien bodies from a superior culture.

The reason I have avoided these particular stories is that I consider such accounts by certain hypnosis subjects to be anomalies. Traveling within a spacecraft around our physical universe is not part of the usual past life memories most people have. This is especially true of former visits to Earth. Frankly, only one person out of hundreds in my practice reposts to me that they once visited Earth in an alien spacecraft. This is too small a sample for comparable verification.

Normally, when I lecture about events which have happened to people in former existences, there have to be two factors present: The reports must consistent and they must come from a high volume of clients.. Because these criteria do not exist regarding early alien visitations to Earth by some clients, I have given only one lecture about this subject to the public. This was requested of me at the 9th International UFO Congress in Nevada last year. Even though I believe my information about alien visits to Earth to be incomplete, it was nonetheless well received by this audience of UFO enthusiasts. Thus, I felt the few reports I have from people in deep hypnosis who remembered visiting Earth from another planet early in our history would be of interest to the readers of FATE magazine.

A Sighting

My reluctance to speak out about this subject does not stem from denying the existence of UFOs. As an amateur astronomer, I am especially aware that our universe has over 100 billion galaxies, each of which has billions of stars. If less than one percent of all these suns had intelligent life on planets orbiting around them, these worlds would number in the millions. Indeed, my feelings about the existence of highly intelligent life on other worlds were validated by my own experience on October 16, 1973, during a week of major UFO sightings around the country. On that date, around 10 pm, I stood with a group of people in Thousand Oaks, California, and saw a UFO traveling perhaps 1.500 miles per hour toward us from the east, some 500 feet off the ground. As it approached, I could see a dotted line of orange lights midway up an oval disk. After the UFO soundlessly passed us, it made a right-angle turn straight up without slowing down. There was a greenish glow from the craft before it disappeared out of sight. An airline pilot standing near me remarked, “We don’t make anything like that.”

Part of what I presented to the UFO Congress were quotes from cases involving two types of visitations to Earth:

A Brief Visit
(Over 200,000 years ago)

“My home world was in a star system called Suran, which is not in this [our own] galaxy. We were looking for a place to leave our seed and found Earth very beautiful. Earth was unique in its beauty and potential for evolution. The people here were… so primitive… sub-human… like animals… yet not so. Our mission was to blend our energy with the local inhabitants to raise their awareness. It was not intended that we would star and colonize as a separate race. It was not pleasant to mate with these primitives but we felt it was our duty to raise their consciousness. We were tall and very thin while they were very short with heavy density. I must tell you, as one of the females, I could not bring myself to mate with Earth males but some of my sisters di so as did some of our men. I am ashamed to tell you I would not allow myself to be touched by Earth people even though I was taught to respect all forms of life. I preferred just the teaching. These people of Earth had no meaningful language and built no structures of consequence in the early time. Yet, they were strong and not afraid of us. We were a curiosity to them. We helped them for a while and then left for good. Eventually, I asked my spiritual masters to allow me to finish my incarnations on Earth as a human some 5,000 years ago.”

Full Colonization
(Around 150,000 years ago)

I come from a star system called Pladia [in our galaxy]. It was a planet slightly larger than Earth with a similar atmosphere and topography except our ocean only covered 40 percent of my home world. We could breathe Earth’s air easily and that’s why a group of us stayed. Our planet was overpopulated. After almost a year our starship left and did not return. We did not mate with the primitives here at first but later our colonists got lazy and began losing the technology we had brought. Eventually, we assimilated with the local inhabitants. I mated with a goat herder and it was disgusting for me but necessary because we didn’t want the vestiges of our race to die out after contact with our home world was lost.”

At the UFO conference I also cited a third case of a client who reported witnessing a UFO exploration team when we reviewed his past life in Egypt around 2500 B.C. Here is an excerpt from that case: “I was a high priest and these people came in a huge silver ship. They had prominent foreheads, large eyes and were short in stature. They showed little emotion and were peaceful towards us. It was the time when we began to build pyramids and they helped us because they were great architects. Because their ship frightened us, they soon took it away and we could see their coming and going only as bright lights in the sky. After about a year they left and no one saw them again.”

Of course these reports, and others I have seen over the years, might indicate that the human genetic makeup has a variety of origins as opposed to a single evolutionary precursor. In fact, archaeologists have recently found both moderns and primitive human skulls who existed simultaneously. Even so, the traditional scientific community would deny the early co-existence of any other intelligent race with the natives of Earth.

Descriptions of Other Worlds

Another intriguing aspect of these infrequent reports about Earthly visitations is the information from those clients who are able to remember something about their home world locations. The universe is vast, but I always probe for descriptions which might include relevant constellations in our night sky. On those occasions when a subject speaks of a past life in a highly technological alien culture, they are rarely reported to be in our galaxy. But there are exceptions.

I have records of a few instances where, under post-hypnotic suggestion, clients will point to stars in the Big Dipper (Ursa Major) group. The seven-star group is not just a chance astronomical alignment of unrelated stars. A number of them average 80 light years from our sun. The client in the third case sited above told me: “During the building of the pyramids, my ship came from a star in the handle of the Big Dipper.” Some years after this case, I saw a newspaper article from a Cambridge University Egyptologist who said that the precise north-south alignment of the Great Pyramid at Giza was not based on Polaris, the north start today, but rather on Mizar in the Big Dipper’s handle, which was used “like a plumbline” for measurements around 2500 B.C.

Another client, who reported being a space visitor during this same early Egyptian period, told me she came from a system in the Big Dipper by the name of “Helis,” which was the way I spelled the word during our session. Later, after studying on of my celestial references, I was astonished to find that Mirak in Ursa Major was known to the ancient world as Helice. In other historical volumes, I discovered that the Egyptians of later dynasties as well as the early Europeans called the Big Dipper region “the place of the chariots.”

In my work with souls I have never seen evidence of any form of transmigration from lower forms of animal or plant life into a human form. When souls in human bodies describe incarnations in other physical worlds, these planets all appear to have similar classifications of highly intelligent beings. If the reports I have cited above really do have a basis in truth, apparently it was known by older cultures in our universe that Earth had the potential for a superior form of life.    ☆

A Time of Shifting Paradigms

Reading Time: 2 minutes

It’s pretty obvious these days that we are living in a time of shifting paradigms…in technology, health and spirituality, among others. It goes along with the raising of the consciousness level of this planet. Regarding technology, I recently came across an interesting article about how our lives will dramatically change in 20 years, according to Udo Gollub, CEO of 17 Minute Languages. I won’t go into specifics here, but if you’re interested in that article, here’s the link.

When it comes to health and disease, Anthony William presents another major paradigm shift. He is the author of Medical Medium: Secrets Behind Chronic and Mystery Illness and How to Finally Heal, as well as two more recent books. William says that ever since the age of four, he has had a high level spirit with him explaining the true cause of people’s specific illnesses and diseases, and how they can heal with specific foods, supplements and lifestyle changes. As the number of people that he helped grew into the thousands, people started listening to what he had to say about the history, politics and physiology behind nearly all diseases and ailments.  His message is both complex and simple. It’s simple in that he explains that 98% of all cancers and diseases stem from the combination of a virus and certain toxins in the body ranging from metals, DDT or even repressed emotions. For each illness, he shares specific foods and environmental factors that greatly strengthen the viral and toxic load in the body that causes each particular disease in the body, as well as specific foods and supplements that can greatly reduce it, thus helping to heal a condition.

My personal experience with Anthony William caused me to take him seriously. Five years ago, I was quite sick as I first discovered that my thyroid blood levels were way off the chart. I got relief when the doctor put me on thyroid medications. She said I would need to take them for the rest of my life. However, being holistic minded, I was curious about the conditions that caused my thyroid to not function properly in the first place. Thus began my holistic health journey. My health improved when I went to some alternative holistic health practitioners, but not to the point where I could get off my thyroid meds. A year and a half ago I came across Anthony William’s explanations behind thyroid issues, fatigue and digestive troubles. They made sense to me, so I began following his healing protocol. The results have been that I’ve been off my thyroid meds for a year and I have much more energy than I’ve had for the past 20 years. Meanwhile, my wife has had similar results, finally healing her old chronic conditions that nothing else seemed to fully help. I realize that not everyone will resonate with what he has to say about health and disease in society today, especially since he claims that medical science will only discover and prove this information in about 25-30 years from now. But to give you a chance to see whether or not you resonate with what he has to say, I’m posting one of his articles that was published in Goop, an online health and lifestyle website. You can read his article here.

In any case, as Bob Dylan sings, “These times, they are a-changing!”

You Are Love

Reading Time: 2 minutes
This human experience is all about voluntarily being asleep and trying to live a life from the handicap of seemingly being cut off from Source and from our true authentic selves. When the time is right for you as a soul, you begin the spiritual process of awakening to who and what you truly are. Life then begins to make more sense, and subtle anxieties tend to fall away as you realize that earth life is more of a role play for us to experience ourselves in. I love Thich Nhat Hanh’s quote, “We are here to awaken from the illusion of our separateness.” A few weeks ago, I posted a blog by one of my favorite teachers of awakening, Adyashanti. I’m going to follow along that same line and share some brief words by another one of my favorite awakened sages who now resides in the Twin Cities area, Leonard Jacobson. Please enjoy his words of truth:
“When you are present, you are love, and there’s nothing you can do about it.

You radiate love in the same way that a candle flame radiates light and it has nothing to do with who or what you love. Humanity has become hopelessly lost in love. We lose ourselves in the object of our love and in the process, we lose ourselves. We disconnect from the source of the love, which exists at the very center of our Being. Then we feel a certain kind of emptiness, because we have moved away from the center. We are afraid of the emptiness, and so we relentlessly pursue love outside of ourselves. We want to be loved. We fall in love. We lose ourselves in the object of the love, which takes us further from the center. Eventually, we become so lost in the pursuit of love and all the hope, pain, fear and attachments associated with it, that we can no longer be present. And if we cannot be present, we cannot find our way back to the source of the love, which is at the very center within us.

The truth is that if you love anyone or anything, it simply means that you are love. The one you are loving in the moment might be lovable, but the source of the love is always within you. If another loves you, do not take it too personally. It simply means that the other is love. If I am present and I am love, and you are present and you are love, then why do I need you to love me? Why do you need me to love you? The truth is that we do not need to be loved, for if we are present, we are love. So let us hold hands, and gaze together upon this wondrous world with love.

Love everything. Love the dogs. Love the children. Love the trees. Love your wife or husband. But remember it is because you are love.”

The Awakened Way

Reading Time: 5 minutes

This earth life offers each of us precise opportunities to grow and evolve to our next level. It is happening whether we are awake to it or not. All the while, there is one master soul lesson, and that is to awaken to our truest and highest nature. One can find many people who are awakening these days if you look for them (hint: check out www.batgap.com). It reminds me of a quote by one enlightened woman, Neelam: “First things first…first awaken to who and what you are, then see if your problems still make any sense.”  Awakening is simply realizing and identifying with the part of you that never comes and goes, that’s always here and now, no matter what spiritual dimension you are on or physical life you are in. One of my favorite teachers of awakening, Adyashanti, says that this realization begins first in the head, then drops into the heart, and finally the gut and you fully know it because you are it. I am sharing with you an answer that was posed to Adyashanti about awakening. Please enjoy reading his response:

What is it like to live an awakened life?

“While the world is trying to solve its problems and everyone around you is engaged in the same, you’re not. While everybody around you is trying to figure it out, trying to arrive, trying to “get there,” trying to be worthy, you’re not. While everyone thinks that awakening is a grand, noble, halo-enshrouded thing, for you it’s not. While everybody is running from this life right now, in this moment, to try to get there, you’re not. Where everybody has an argument with somebody else, mostly everybody else, starting with themselves, you don’t. Where everybody is so sure that happiness will come when something is different than it is now, you know that it won’t. When everybody else is looking to achieve the perfect state and hold on to it, you’re not.

When everybody around you has a whole host of ideas and beliefs about a whole variety of things, you don’t. Everyone on the path is getting there; you haven’t gotten anywhere. Everyone is climbing the mountain; you’re selling hiking boots and picks at the foot in the hope that if they climb it and come back down, they may be too exhausted to do it again. When everybody else is looking to the next book, to the next teacher, to the next guru to be told what’s real, to be given the secret key to an awakened life, you’re not. You don’t have a key because there’s not a lock to put it in.

When you’re living what you are in an awakened way, being simply what you’ve always been, you’re actually very simple. You basically sit around wondering what all the fuss is about.

When everyone is sitting around saying, “I hope that happens to me,” you remember when you did that. You remember that you didn’t find a solution to that. You remember that the whole idea that there was a problem created all of that.

When you’re being what you are, when you’re living the awakened life, there’s nobody to forgive, because there’s no resentment held, no matter what.

The truth of your being doesn’t crave happiness; it could actually care less. It doesn’t crave love, not because you are so full of love, but because it just doesn’t crave love. It’s very simple. It doesn’t seek to be known, regarded highly, or understood. When you’re living what you are in an awakened way, there’s no ideal for you anymore. You’ve stepped off the entire cycle of suffering, of becoming; you’re not interested.

It’s a curious life you find yourself in. You find yourself… where you are. Not where I am, where you are. Where you really are. Where we really are. It’s a curious place to be (especially in the beginning) not to be driven by anything—pleasure or displeasure, helping or hurting, loving or hating. The only thing that will move you (and I don’t mean to be too poetic about this) is the same thing that moves a leaf hanging from a tree. It’s simply because the breeze blows that way. So you always know what to do: The breeze blows that way, and that’s the way you go. You don’t ask questions anymore. You don’t evaluate why the breeze is blowing that way because you know that you don’t know why. And you know you can’t know why. There’s never been a leaf anywhere that knows why the wind blows that way on that day at that moment. That breeze changes the orientation of your life, moment to moment to moment, simply because that’s the way life’s moving. And when you’re living in your awakened self you have no argument with the way it’s moving because it is the same as you are.

And you know that the breeze was always there, from the very beginning, and that it wasn’t reserved for special people. If you didn’t notice it at some point in your life, you know it was because you weren’t listening, or because you thought you had to figure something out before you could listen, or because you thought there had to be some conclusion before you could just listen so deeply, so without agenda, so without hope of a better future that you would feel the movement.

Many of you know what I’m speaking of.

Truth never explains why it’s moving that way at that moment. And if you ask, it won’t give any information. It would be like a leaf asking the wind, “Why are you moving that way right now?” The question doesn’t make any sense to the wind.

But your argument with the way the truth would move—whatever that way is—is no longer there for you. You’re no longer arguing with it. You’re no longer trying to figure it out. Mother Mary didn’t figure it out. Buddha didn’t figure it out. Ramana didn’t figure it out. None of them figured it out. They just became That. Simple. Ordinary—in the same way a leaf is ordinary.

When you’re living in your awakened being and living in an awakened way, power on any level is not an issue for you. It’s not interesting. The power to control another human being is not interesting. Intellectual power is not interesting. The power to control yourself is not interesting. The power that people want to give you is not interesting to you—not because it shouldn’t be; it’s just not. What would you want to do with it? You see that there’s nothing you want to do with it.

You realize, in the truth of your being, that you are the totality itself, but you have no interest whatsoever in doing anything with that knowledge, with using that knowledge.

Finally, you realize that you really don’t want to change anybody, not because you shouldn’t want to change them, because you just don’t. You might not want to be around everyone, but still you don’t want to change them.

None of this is an ideal—it’s the end of ideals. None of this is holiness; it’s the end of holiness. It’s the beginning of wholeness. None of this is something to achieve, because it’s not achievable. It’s simply what is in the truth of your being. It’s just what is. You can’t attain what’s naturally so. And nobody anywhere can ever tell you when or why, or to what degree you’ll let go of untruth; you will let go when you let go, usually when nothing else works.

When you’re living in the awakened way, in the awakened being that you are, you’re alone, and you’re finally comfortable with it. You’re alone, but you’re not lonely at all, because the only one who was ever supposed to meet you where you are—the only one who ever could meet you where you are one hundred percent—was you. Nobody else could ever fully meet you where you are—maybe ninety percent, maybe ninety-five. Nobody can meet you fully but you. When you finally do, then you don’t need anybody else to do it for you. Then you’re alone, more alone than you could ever imagine. And strangely—very strangely—you are more connected, more intimate, more at one with everything. More. And you would have never thought that those two could in any way be together: total aloneness and total oneness. You would have never guessed that that’s the way it would end up. But it does, and it always has.

And finally, when you’re just living in the awakened way that you really are, you’ll never form an image again of what it’s like. Even as it’s happening, you won’t form an image because you’ll know they’re all images, dust. The way it was yesterday won’t be the way it is today.”
