Past Lives And Reincarnation--You’ll Come Back As The Subject Of Your Intolerance

In our society it’s considered inappropriate to
vocalize your opinion to a stranger on topics such
as politics, religion, sex, money, racial issues,
and abortion, just to name a few.

Everyone has an opinion, and some become very
emotional, even angry if you don’t agree with
theirs. Their strong beliefs are sometimes linked
to their childhood or other miscellaneous defining
moments in their lives.

But let’s not forget about the impact of past
lives. If you want to find the cause of something
in your life, whether it be your fondness for a
certain nation or group of people, or your fear of
flying or snakes, it can almost always be traced
back to past lives.

Side note: As we’ve frequently said, it doesn’t
matter if reincarnation exists or not. What is
important is that exploring one’s past lives can
be very healing, even if it turns out that the
perceptions may be metaphorical, linked to your
subconscious mind.

Do you know someone who spends a lot of their
time campaigning for a cause or political
candidate? They may simply believe strongly in
the purpose and truly want to help others, but
there could be other reasons too. For a person
who is consumed by anger against the opposition,
our findings indicate that a strong past life
link is often likely: whoever is screaming the
loudest (anti-whatever) could easily have been
on the other side in a past life. Perhaps their
actions in a past life as an 1800s shipping
tycoon, for example, were often very dishonest,
racist, unfair, and selfish. Consciously they
don’t remember this, of course, but
subconsciously it triggers a response. Guess
why they’re spending so much energy on the cause
now? Answer: they project their former nefarious
self (or selves) onto others who may or may not
(often times not) be creating the negative karma
that they did in the past. Until they get to know
themselves better (spiritually speaking) and
recognize their projections for what they are,
they’ll continue exclusively seeing the world as
they are or were (instead of how it really is),
spinning around like a dog chasing its tail.

How about a certain internationally famous pop
star who, in the 1980s and 1990s, caused a lot
of controversy through her sexual and (some
would say) anti-religious images and lyrics? Is
it possible that she lived one or more lives as
a powerful religious figure who, by his or her
actions, caused the populations of entire
countries to be more shameful and fearful about
sex? Absolutely. Could this pop star have been
destined to attempt to reverse some of that
through her (legal and mostly harmless)
provocative and sexual public image and behavior
in this life, and be ridiculed repeatedly in the
press as a result? Yes.

Do you know someone who despises the wealthy?
Do they insist that most rich people are greedy,
mean, and had to be ruthless and cheat others to
gain their wealth? Guess who very possibly acted
in such a way in a previous life and created
negative karma for themselves? Even if someone
does obtain wealth unfairly by hurting others,
try not to let it bother you too much. Have
compassion for them and know that they will
ultimately have to pay for it in other ways,
even if it is not until a future life.

It’s important to note that your karmic
circumstances in life are not about reward or
punishment, but learning and growth. For
example, being born rich or poor, straight or
gay, black, white, brown, or red, attractive or
not, fit or not, is not simply because you were
“good” or “bad” in past lives.

However, if you are forced to deal with steep
and stressful challenges in this life related
to your family, sexual orientation, race,
appearance or something else you cannot change,
it’s possible your soul choose them for you to
experience the other side of things. Or,
sometimes it may be that your soul volunteered
to be an example in some way for those around
you, ultimately to help progress human
understanding and compassion, for instance.
You may or may not have been, for example, a
rich, straight, handsome womanizer who used and
abused females in a past life (and may or may
not have already balanced the energy in
successive past lives). Even if you were,
everyone has been “good” and “bad” in past
lives, so go easy on yourself; it’s much more
important to focus on doing the right thing now
in all situations than to feel guilty about how
you were in past lives.

If you would like to overcome or at least be
better able to deal with burdensome personal
issues, past life regression can shed new light
on the situation, help you to detach from it,
and in some cases overcome it. If you just want
to explore past lives out of curiosity, going
back in time can be an eye-opening experience
and help you realize the deeper reasons for why
you are who you are and how you knew the people
in your life.
