Excerpt from Traveling on the River of Time, Chapter 1

​

WHAT ARE PAST LIVES?

​

What are past lives?  Loosely put, I use the term to describe other earthly experiences one has had in addition to one’s current lifetime.  Those experiences have occurred in varying epochs, countries, cultures, and races, and includes one’s soul experiencing both sexes in other lifetimes.

​

Do you have to believe in past lives or reincarnation to gain benefit from my method? 

No, you don’t.

​

Why is it important to be concerned with past lives? 

 

Because unhealed, unexplored past lives, especially difficult ones, can shape your current life, affecting your relationships, health, finances, as well as mental and emotional states.

Time is not linear. 

 

All lives, including one’s current life, are happening in present time, what Eckhardt Tolle calls the “Now.”  Although I use the term past lives, all thoughts, actions, behaviors, and feelings are occurring in present time.  In fact, according to quantum physicists, string theorists, metaphysicians, and spiritual teachers, time is different than what we have believed and understood. 

​

One’s current life can transform and improve when one works on healing problems and issues from those past lives. 

 

Past life traumas from another lifetime can be experienced and released, which then alters and enhances one’s current lifetime.      

​

Furthermore, your past lives can/will also change when you work on yourself in your current lifetime identity through conscious activities such as meditation, bodywork, prayer, and positive changes in thought and behavior -- especially forgiveness and compassion.   In other words because all lifetimes are operating in the now, lifetimes are fluid and interchangeable, and can be transformed purposefully.

​

I currently remember 97 lifetimes in detail, the memories starting when I was five years old.  When I meet certain people, I can discern which lifetimes I knew them in, what our relationship was like, and what we are still working through together.  Ultimately the goal seems to be forgiveness, peace, and balance.  Having this knowledge and information helps me work through problems in myself and in relationships.

​

Long ago I discovered that I am a “battery” for other lifetimes, which accesses information easily and effortlessly, both for me and for others.

This mysterious juice, the vibrational charge that is connected to me and works through me, helps bring past lives into vivid focus and understanding.  The vibrant energy and ease of the battery is captured in this book to assist you in your exploration.

​

After consulting for decades with other individuals on their past lives, an interesting aspect became clear.  What is known as karma doesn’t get created from what one does or doesn’t do in a certain lifetime, but how one THINKS or FEELS about what he/she did or didn’t do, as well as how one THINKS or FEELS about other people’s actions or lack of action.  This often results in guilt, anger, fear, blame, remorse, shame, and revenge in one’s current lifetime. 

​

At some point in its evolution the soul makes a decision to reverse or balance those erroneous assumptions, as well as to experience challenging issues relating to key individuals.  Many times taking on the issues and deciding to upgrade one’s soul results in tackling difficult lessons in one lifetime, analogous to going to a university to learn advanced curriculums.  Thus the soul waits for an appropriate lifetime in which to work out a particular problem or problematic relationship. 

​

​

​

I’ve been a practicing astrologer for 45 years.  I’ve concluded that the birth chart is a blueprint for the current life indicating challenges, talents, proclivities, obsessions, relationships, along with personality characteristics and defects.  Thus the difficulties you experience are not wrong or bad in your chart.  You have chosen obstacles and complications to achieve further knowledge and progress in the school of life.

 

A soul cannot learn everything in one short lifetime, so the soul chooses a few qualities to play with and learn about each time through hundreds or perhaps thousands of lifetimes.

Therefore, if a person has a problem, the soul has chosen that difficulty to learn and grow spiritually, as well as to heal and balance itself through understanding and compassion for itself and others.

​

Although a soul may choose to lead a disruptive life, it does not mean that particular lifetime is bad or evil.  I don’t believe in evil.  A soul needs to have numerous experiences in order to grow and learn, which includes what we might consider “good” and “bad.” 

​

In my decades of work I notice that nowadays many souls are leading multiple lives in one lifetime – having many significant relationships, moving homes frequently, as well as having various jobs or careers.  What I believe is happening is that time is speeding up on planet Earth and there is a lot to accomplish in a short amount of time.  Our planet is going through challenging times.

​

Souls travel through lifetimes in soul groups or soul families.  Often a soul friend / family member will either assist another soul to weather a stormy lifetime or to create challenging situations to be worked out together.

​

There are hundreds of books published on this topic.   So … why did I write this handbook and what are the benefits of your pursuing the exercises?  

​

I offer a method for you to explore your past lives easily and effortlessly, without trauma, without hypnosis, or hiring any person to guide you.  Essentially you do this work by yourself for free - except for the minimal cost of the handbook.  You can pilot yourself anytime, as often as you like.   Your Higher Self and its wisdom will be in charge.

​

You can think of yourself as a deep sea diver, exploring the vast depths and infinite reaches of your soul’s experiences.

​

You can also assist your friends and relatives on a journey of discovery – or gift them with their own handbooks.

​

One’s experience using this method is what can inform and heal your soul in its journey, to modify or even eliminate your current lifetime problems and expand positive events and attributes.

​

When you heal past life issues, you heal yourself. 

​

When you heal yourself, you heal your past life issues, which is positive reinforcement for your soul’s growth and evolution.  That healing continues and expands in an endless spiral of spiritual improvement.

​

You will find this process simple, restful, and comfortable.  You will be at ease throughout the session without upset or trauma.   You will feel relaxed, peaceful, yet alert.  If you get stuck at any time in the process, you are advised to “make it up.” In other words make up a story. 

 

As the mystic, writer, poet, and artist William Blake said,

       “The imagination is not a state: it is the human existence itself.”

​

Imagination is not fantasy or illusions, but our higher consciousness revealing itself to us.

My procedure will help you to release control of the mental, ego-centered, logical mind, and transport you to the perceptive “Higher Self” who will effortlessly divulge accurate information on your behalf in a contemplative, gentle manner.

​

You do not need to believe in reincarnation or past lives for this method to work.  You can consider that what you learn through this technique are symbols and archetypes which describe and illuminate your current life.
