Foot Spas, Blackbirds And Reincarnation

poliphilo1. Ailz acquired a foot spa off Freecycle the other day. We went and picked it up and the man who handed it over at the door called me, "my man" twice in the course of thirty seconds. In the far off and long ago "my man" was how rich men in wind-up motor cars addressed simple, smock-wearing country folk when they had to stop and ask them for directions. It was patronising to the point of insult. Coming from a scruffy-looking bloke in a council house it presumably has other connotations- but I can't say I liked it much.
I just topped the spa up with nearly-boiling water from the kettle. Ailz seems to be enjoying herself. There are bubbles.
2.The blackbirds who nest in our ivy have successfully raised one brood this summer and are now raising another. This makes me happy. One cannot have too many blackbirds.
3. Michael Newton- author of Journey of Souls- says we enter into a covenant not to remember past incarnations when our souls return to earth. We have lessons to learn- and it's better we start with a clean slate. Our responses will be fresher if events surprise us- and the task will seem more urgent if we don't realise we have lives to burn. Yes- fair enough- but to know what I was is to know who I am- and I'm finding it really frustrating to be kept in the dark.

Date: 2008-06-07 01:27 pm (UTC)Reincarnation: I have a few strong Past Life memories. Ultimately, they mostly serve to reinforce my belief in reincarnation and this, in turn, serves to comfort me in times of stress or loss. Some people in my life I know have been with me for lifetime after lifetime. There are conflicts that I seem to not be able to resolve, yet, that is ok. That means that we will come back again to work on them. That is strangely comforting to me, because there are people in my life that I would rather fight with than do without. I also really enjoy the physicality of being alive. I hate to think that I would Ascend and leave all of this behind. Therefor, on some level, I RESIST learning my lessons, because I enjoy the ride.
I had a anxiety attack some years back that we thought was a heart attack. When faced with the possibility of dying, I was strangely calm. My belief in reincarnation is very firm, it seems.

Date: 2008-06-07 02:10 pm (UTC)Have you come across Michael Newton's Journey of Souls?- It's a fascinating book and very much confirms all that I felt that I knew.
I've had occasional hints of past lives. The most vivid came in a dream where I was part of the crew of a medieval trading ship. It was an exceptional dream- very much more intensely felt and seen than is usually the case.
