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.
