Re: do any of you actually believe in Karma & Reincarnation?

Truly this is a fascinating topic. One that has interested me for quite some time and whose interest has grown in my over the past year. All of your stories have been amazing, shocking, enlightening. Perhaps we are entering a time of great awakening after all. I have many questions, but also some comments.

If someone believes that reincarnation occurs yet does not have some type of memory or psychic evidence, are they behaving slightly gullibly? I do not think so. Deeper than memory is raw impression. Indeed, before any memories came back to me, I had an intuitive feeling about reincarnation.

What about the other part of the topic?  Reincarnation?  As in, past lives?  Does anybody else out there have past life memories or flashes or indications?

I once had a flashback while using the HemiSync program. I believe it was a track specifically designed to remember past lives, either that or it was an intention I set before beginning, I can't remember which. If only for a brief instance, I saw an older man, white hair, standing on a smallish white boat (sailboat?) in the middle of the ocean. He was smiling and I had the distinct impress that he was me, some otherwhen. I've also had impressions of being "different" in soul from most others – in short, I feel older than them, but the oddest part is that I feel simultaneously younger at the same time. As if I already know how to rise above petty trivialities to preserve my feeling of newness in this life.

Does anyone else feel this way?

As I lay there on the table, she placed her hands on my head in different points, barely touching, but yet causing electrical impulses to run thru my head. She said she saw that someone very close to me had shot me in the left temple during the Civil War era. She asked me if I knew who it was. My mind reached out and although I couldn't see the 'scene' I had a feeling of who it was. I said, 'I think it was my son.' She told me that I was correct. Although, in that lifetime, he was not my son; I think he was a jealous lover. So my (current) offspring at one time was my beau. I have a feeling that I cheated on him or something, that caused him to not be able to trust me. I didn't see what happened, but the answers came to me while in this 'trance'.

Incredible, SeekingtheTruth! Your story provides a reference point for the relationship between my brother and mother, as they have a similar love/hate relationship, and always have. Situations like this are quite fascinating. I wonder how karma balances out in a role reversal as this. Will you have your son do a regression in the future? You ought to.

Might explain the incident from when I was traveling cross country moving to Florida, and crossed over from Lousiana into Mississippi....and promptly freaked out when I saw the "Welcome to Mississippi" sign.  Had a mild anxiety attack and grabbed my cell phone and called my friend Mike back in California, freaking out about the Klan and the racism and how they lynch people, etc. etc. blah blah blah, culminating with "OH MY GOD WHY AM I HERE?? WHY AM I HERE??!?!  I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M HERE!!!!!   AHHHHH!"  I just couldn't BELIEVE I was stepping foot in this backwards racist state.

This story in particular stuck out in my mind. An amazing story! If that isn't evidence then I don't know what is! Lyra has provided a good example of what a memory holdover looks like, here.

If people can't even remember their early childhoods and barely remember their dreams and can't even remember so much of the things that have happened to them as adults, if people are going through this life half asleep at the wheel in a dream state, forgetting "who they are" on a soul level as they go about their days placing importance and attention on ridiculous stuff that doesn't even matter in the big scheme of things, then how in the frickity frack would they remember the last go around?

Excellent point! This very idea has crossed my mind before, but you've articulated it well. I'm particularly concerned about the people who have trouble remembering their childhood, a bedrock of experience that ripples on for the rest of their lives. Before someone probes their past live(s), shouldn't they come to terms with their current life first? And resolve any holdovers of their childhood? This strikes me as a conducive helpful step in remembering.

How many posters here feel like (or remember, or have had visions that suggest) they've had off-planet past lives?

Does Kantec count?

For those of you who aren't familiar, the current asteroid belt is most likely the remains of an ancient planet known as Kantec, or simply the 5th planet. This is discussed in the Cassiopaean transcripts, and even before that in the first Orfeo Angelucci book. (I'm currently reading it and thoroughly enjoying it.) From what I've read, many of earth's people could be descended from Kantekkians. If this is true, I would find it natural that people have spent past lives on Kantec.

Beautiful, Moose. Something I needed to hear more than you know. Tapestry! What a great word.

I unfolded it and realized.....it was a map showing all the pioneer trails out west, and the Oregon trail.  Different routes were noted in different colors, and there were these historical bit and blurbs of insight on the sides of the map.  It was dated July 2000 I believe. So from about 6 months earlier, a relatively recent issue.  But there were no National Geographics in the apartment.  I certainly didn't have any and either did my brother.  The apartment was very tiny, it would have been hard to miss.

I later asked my brother - more like demanded in an alarmed "!!!!" way - where this came from.  He looked at me frowning and puzzled, slightly annoyed at being bothered and had no idea.  He kept insisting he had no idea where it came from, and meanwhile I was just  at the amazing "coincidence" of it all.  REALLY weird.

Thank your for sharing this story! At times, such inexplicable events have happened to me, but none so obvious as this. What do you think was the meaning of your experience? Could your guides have been trying to help you uncover your past, or something else?


More Questions

What about Karma? Is Karma as simple as punishment? I've wondered about the correlation between book of Revelation's Book of Life and the Akashic Records. Could that be a recording place for Karma?

How does one know if a certain event or circumstances (good or bad) is the effect of Karma or someone else's decision?
And perhaps my most wondered question (and perhaps the elephant in the room):

How does one transmute negative karma, anyway?

Hey LE.  I tried a short stab at those questions in post #34 of this thread and have recently attempted to expand on these interrelated topics in my own writing (off of NR) for the sake of clarification.  I will let you know (if you like) when my site and this specific article are online.  Until then I will say that yes, the akashic records (or Book of Life) is the "place" where karma is stored.  It seems to be the resource by which the soul can extract the catalytic karma that it needs to develop into a greater state of spiritual being, to hone its essence and dissolve the illusory personality.  Karma is based on the entity's development or maturity of free will and awareness, the present state of which is reflected in the akasha and back into one's incarnation.

I can't see karma as punishment because it is a natural law of Creation.  I don't know about you, but my Creator isn't one to judge, though this is something which does come naturally to its finite Creations.  It is catalyst for our development.  Can you imagine how stagnant life would be without it?

How does one transmute negative karma, anyway?

IMO it is by consciously intending to do so.  It sounds overly simplistic but I've found that making and holding the intent itself has enabled my higher self to rearrange things in my life so that the karma is processed more efficiently.  Acknowledging the existence of this seemingly perpetual catalyst is by itself a major breakthrough in terms of the higher self's ability to help the lower self align with its incarnation-specific goals of lesson learning.  If one makes a conscious choice to transmute said karma  then one will also notice an increase in related synchronicity and life-themes.

As cheesy as it sounds...in the end it all comes down to love.  Karma of the material realms for which we choose to incarnate is a creation of a consciousness that has been raised in separation from it's true source.  When we learn to truly love the Creation AS the Creator (and vice versa) then the negative karma will have a greater chance to be refined and transmuted in the crucible of our hearts.  The thing is that this process seems to have a mental origin, as all things do, and so paying close attention to the mind and it's interpretations, while being open to the rhythms of the heart, will allow one's paradigm to shift ever so slightly, eventually reaching a point where one looks back and can't even believe how it used to exist in that previous state.

Another thing to consider is the path travelled upward by the lower density catalyst.  If the first 3 chakras are imbalanced then the 4th (heart=love) will not have a fair chance of utilizing the energy and making the sweeping changes required in the transmutation of karma.

Hope this has been some help, and if not....I'll try harder next time! wink

Definitely. For myself, I wasn't ready to find out what happened in the life before this one until I'd cleared through the muck of things that had happened in this life.  It wasn't planned that way, it's not like I set out on some self-help plan, but in writing various things over the past year or so it inadvertently did some muck clearing, and a year later I realized....huh....suddenly finding out what happened the last go-around doesn't seem so daunting anymore.  Now it feels like I can deal with it. So yeah, the order of it all wasn't planned, but it's exactly what you're saying here.

First of all, personally, I wouldn't call karma a punishment at all.  I think it's the result of your actions, nothing more, nothing less.  In the grossest sense, if you jump off of a building, it is your "karma" to fall.  One translation of the Sanskrit word is, I believe, "action."  It is what you do. 

If you mug a person, then probably you have generated feelings of hate and resentment in your space, and matching energies will be drawn to you.  To me, karma is an extension of the law of attraction.  Nobody doles it out, like a god or a karma committee, it is simply the way the universe works.  "Accruing" karma, to me, is the process of the universal mind noticing the changes in your energy from day to day, second to second.  ...That's how I see it.

As far as transmuting negative karma.  Again, this is how I see it: forgiveness is what resolves karma.
