The Value of Knowing About Past Lives

In the mid-1980's I had an intensely vivid dream in which a Luminous Being had given me a book, which I later learned was the Akashic Records. This book contains the history of all the past lives that anyone who has ever lived on Earth has experienced. I did not know at first what to do with the book. Much to my surprise a few years later a client came into my healing room who triggered my using that gift.

Bruce was a Reiki/massage client who had been referred to me by a local chiropractor. He came to me in about 1990-91. While I was working on him, seemingly out of the blue, he asked if I could do past life readings. Immediately as he asked it, I knew I could. Somehow this data had been downloaded to me without my realizing it.

So I did a reading for him, since he asked for it, and did one right on the spot. Closing my eyes, I utilized some symbols that I already knew, but in a new way, and managed to open his Akashic Records seeing a particular life that was relevant for him in the current life situation. It was like a movie playing in my head, as I watched the movie, I narrated for Bruce. His eyes were closed, too. Bruce was in the process of getting a divorce, after a seven year marriage, from a woman who was leaving him. He could not understand why she was going. She had a young son to whom he had become very attached, and his sorrow at losing both of them was deep.

The past life which I saw was in Ancient Egypt, and Bruce was a slave master who fell in love with a slave. This old love had come back in this current lifetime as his wife, Jenny. He had got her pregnant in the past life, and had known that this would spell trouble for both of them. So he arranged safe passage via ship for her to another land, where she could start over. Due to heavy family obligations, he could not join her. In the dark of the night they were rushing down a pier toward a boat, where Jenny would make her escape. As I described this, I noticed that the pier was made of a strange building material. Lashed together underfoot were stalks of what looked very like bamboo. I commented that the pier was made of an odd material when Bruce, whose eyes were also closed, remarked that it looked strange to him too, like bamboo perhaps. Imagine my shock that Bruce also saw bamboo when I had not yet said what the odd material was! It was then, in that first past life reading, I realized without a doubt that I was seeing something real, something I was not just making up. This was enormous for me. I am deeply grateful for that.

I finished the reading, which ended with Jenny and the baby she carried being killed, and Bruce being captured and imprisoned for breaking "slave relations protocols." He was injured in the process, in a manner similar to the injury for which he had come to see me for treatment. Bruce had a concussion from this fall, and also got a wound to the hip and wrist. In this lifetime he had fallen off a roof while installing cable, and had received almost the exact same injuries.

The Guardians of the Akashic Records, who were allowing me to read the Akashic Records, were also explaining things to me at the same time. They explained the point of knowing about Bruce's past life in Egypt. To this day, they still explain things to me as I narrate my readings. Here was the point of the past life between Bruce and Jenny in Egypt. It was important for Bruce to let Jenny and his son go this time, and start over somewhere else, because she had not been able to do that in the past life, and in none of her subsequent lives had she achieved independance. She still had a soul-longing to complete this task of standing on her own two feet, which she had never done in the current lifetime. Independence was a lesson she had not yet learned, due to having always been taken care of by her father or a husband. Bruce was also supposed to stay in contact with the boy, who thought of him as a father, and who had been his unborn son in the past life. Knowing this made it easier for Bruce to let go of Jenny. When Bruce told Jenny about the reading, she found it easier to allow him to stay in touch with her son. She was already inclined to do that, but could not understand why until she heard about the past life, which resonated deeply with her as well. She felt it was true, and that it explained a lot. In many ways, knowing about this past life had a healing effect upon all three of them.

A past life reading is far easier to assimilate than a hypnotic past life regression, which often re-traumatizes the client, because in a regression the client is forced to re-live the experience. If the un-integrated material is related to trauma, as it often is, the client may experience the pain of the trauma all over again. This does not happen with an Akashic Records reading.

Many times past lives are the source of fears, phobias, and problems in our lives, and getting a reading can heal these. Past lives can explain why we have certain feelings for others, shed light on our issues, as well as clarify why we have certain inexplicable gifts and talents. Many of the karmic issues we need to resolve to facilitate our own soul's healing and growth can be illuminated by a past life reading. And is that not the primary purpose of life on Earth?
