I had my first past life regression in the 1980’s. The past life I re-visited helped to explain my then relationships.

Here is a brief on the past life regression:

At age 10, I was living in W. Virginia and my name was John or Johnathan. I lived with my mother, father, younger sister and Papa (my father’s father).

I realized that I didn’t like my mother in this lifetime; she berated my father and grandfather. Papa taught me about the uses of berries, roots and leaves to help people.

At sixteen, Papa died and I was crushed. My mother had said to me something along the lines of that it was best that he died, so now maybe I would finally do some real work around here.

At 25, I am married – I have a beautiful wife and daughter, and another child on the way.

The regression next jumped to me lying on the ground, I was wearing a uniform and feared that I would never see my family again. I had been shot.

I was fascinated by this regression – but had no full names, dates or location in W. Virginia – so I set aside the notes on the regression and forgot about them….

…Until 1990, when I made a trip to W. Virginia to help a friend’s friend with some animals on their property (information on the animal aspect is found in “Undefined Reality” – the animal communication chapter).

While there, I and a friend went for a walk on the vast property which was nestled in the mountains.

We came across an old house –my house! My heart was racing! I stood outside and had my friend go into the front door. I yelled to her the location of the stairway, directions to the kitchen and other rooms in the house.

She confirmed them and exited the house. I remained where I was and directed her to the left side of the house to where a well should be. It took a bit of searching through the overgrowth, but she located the now covered up well.

I couldn’t believe I was standing in front of the house from my first past life regression! But I didn’t see the barn. I closed my eyes to remember the past scene. I turned around and began walking away from the front of the house, and shortly found a pile of lumber on the ground. I had found the barn.

We went back to the hosts’ house, grabbed my camera and took some pictures.

When we excitedly told our host what we found, our host explained that the barn was flattened just a short while ago; it had become unstable.

For me, it was an adventure of a lifetime.

I never revisited that past life again – though my curiosity has many questions; but I realized that I had learned what I needed to learn about the past life and correlation with the same people in this lifetime and a better understanding of those relationships.

For those wishing to explore past lives, I highly recommend that you find a certified, licensed hypnotherapist to be your guide on that journey.

The past life you revisit more than likely has issues which you have brought forward into this life, and you will need someone qualified to safely assist you in the healing aspects of that journey.

‘Do Dead People Walk Their Dogs? : Questions You’d Ask a Medium If You Had the Chance’, by Concetta Bertoldi. © 2009, Harper. ISBN 978-0-06-170608-0.

What a delightful book!

Concetta, a medium, brings her earthly clients messages from those who have crossed over.

In this book, she answer’s questions that she has been asked as well as sharing some brief stories others had shared with her.

Some questions she addresses are: “Do our pets reincarnate, like humans do?” – “What is the most difficult thing about being psychic?” – “Why do we have certain people in our lives?” – and much more!

Concetta answers these questions candidly; sometimes using examples to help explain the point; and her sense of humor occasionally pops out.

I really enjoyed reading about her perceptions and experiences; she touched on a variety of topics.

My favorite passage from this book:

“Sometimes in order to be your best self, you do need to separate from a person or situation…” (p. 69)

I recommend this book for all.

When I was asked to write an article about enlightenment, I thought -”gush, how can I do that ?” So much is said about it already – many people have written about it. Is there anything new I can write ? Maybe by sharing part of my EarthWalk I can give an idea of what Enlightenment might be….

My consequently walking a spiritual path started in 1998 when both my parents died in a very short period of time. My mother was diagnosed with an extremely aggressive type of cancer, which progressed very quickly. It was a gift for me that we still had enough time to heal our lifelong issues with each other, and that we were able to experience a special kind of closeness that often only dying makes possible. It rids us of all conventional behaviours and attitudes and thoughts, we come to the very essence of our being. During this process, my father- as an alcohol addict -, could not cope with the situation. He went in and out psychiatry, but always started drinking again. So after my mother passed it took not long until he died one night in the street, because he lost his key and couldn’t enter his house again. It was cold and he already was ill, so they found him dead on the next morning. Death is one of the greatest teachers and brought me into a deep commitment to find out more about life and spirituality.

First I met Roshi Joan Halifax at a Buddhist Women Congress in Cologne / Germany. As she held workshops about death and dying, I went to see her. Listening to her talks and participating in a workshop, made me wanting to continue studying with her. For several years I practiced Zen and had the blessings of deep and profound buddhist teachings. Enlightenment in buddhist practice is a topic that seems very central to the teachings. Enlightenment is like the fuel that runs the practice-but what is this “Enlightenment” we are striving for ? There are many different approaches already in Zen practice, even more when we take all buddhist traditions in account. On my way, to be honest, I lost interest in this question. I felt being here NOW is a task already big enough.

While in retreat with Joan Halifax, I came in touch with women who practiced shamanism and were students of a Native American teacher. After an invite to a Sweat Lodge I felt a deep longing of going deeper into it. But it took me a while to find my own teacher. 2003 I started a traditional apprenticeship with Maria Yraceburu, a Quero Apache HolyOne of the Tlish Diyan (Snake Clan).

In a traditional apprenticeship there are several circles and spirals in personal growth and spiritual re-connection that we have to go through. First we have to free ourselves from the Ego, this part we usually mis-identify with the I or Me, the part that has a lot of “Likes and Dislikes” and very personal intention in all it does and decides. We go through all our issues and, like an onion, get rid of one layer after the other as long as it takes to be freed from at least the biggest Ego parts and have kind of a sense of connection to our True Self, to our authenticity and to the spiritual source that we might call God/ess – Spirit – Emptiness or whatever. This is followed by a period of time in which we need to learn how to go with the flow, integrate our knowledge into daily life and get more insights about our purpose here on Earth.

Enlightenment in the Tlish Diyan Tradition is called Ah – Kine and means Actualization. People who come to that actualization are called the same, as there is no longer a gap between Enlightenment and the Enlightened person. Ah- Kine means to be aware of our Oneness and Diversity in a profound way. Not in the meaning of a short and spontaneous moment (like e.g. Sartori in Rinzai Zen) but in the moment to moment living our evolutionary role. Of course I know there are moments of Enlightenment ever now and then, spontaneous experiences of Being One. But where does it lead to… ? In our times of Narcism and Egoism as valued attitudes and ways of living, in our times where “being One” is often misunderstood as “I am okay, you are okay” – no matter how I behave-, and the fact that we are all already enlightened on our deepest mindground leads to the thought of “we do not have to work any more on it” – we need more to the concept of Enlightenment. I had dozens of opportunities to observe so called Enlightened Masters or students having these Sartori moments, and I was puzzled by the way they lived…about the amount of sexual, financial abuse and addictional behaviour to be found.. Explanations as “don’t expect teachers to be perfect” wouldn’t work for me. I felt that if somebody is enlightened this should go hand in hand with a authentic, ethical behaviour towards all sentient beings. Meanwhile I understand that Enlightenment might happen in a moment, but if it it not intristically connected to a profound spiritual and personal growth in this person it means nothing but an EgoTrip. It does not serve the community, not the world and not the Universe. Enlightenment unfolds, and only if we join into with ALL efforts to grow personally, become more authentic, live ethically it becomes Enlightenment that serves humanity and All That Is.

Only Enlightenment that is more then just a nice moment of personal feeling and insight can be called Actualization – Ah- Kine….

My motivation when I write falls into one of three categories.

My opinions or ideas. I get these ideas from all the research from many different people and their views. I narrow it down to what “FEELS” right to me and that adds to who I am.
There are times when I am sleeping comfortably in my Temper Pedic bed, and suddenly awakened at 3:30 AM by aching bones through out my legs, hips, back and feet. I finally get up, and I sit down at my desk to take something for it, and just as suddenly as the pain came, it is gone. At this point I have learned to say ok, what is it? This is usually some of my better writing.
I am pissed off over something or feeling butt hurt over something and I just need to whine a little, and hopefully, someone will offer an opinion that can help me to grow, which brings me to the point of this article.

One thing that I am accepting on faith alone is that we are all one. The bible says to love one another as I love you. We are energy, all the same energy. Our future is all about unconditional love and there will be no more “I”, instead, it will be “we”.

This is a bit of a hurdle for me because I purposely live in the middle of no where and can go weeks with out seeing people, and when my husband and grandson announced they were leaving on a job for ten days to two weeks, I was excited. I also have trust issues with people and hold animals in a much higher regard than humans.

To anyone that is scared, confused, shy, lacking self confidence, or thinking that what they have to say is irreverent, this is for you. I offer this tip in love and sincerity because it helped me.

Start by commenting. Everyone has something to say. We have to realize that in a very short time, life as we know it is about to change. NO ONE knows for sure what it is going to be, but there are people that have made it their life passion to find out. We have enough factual evidence to know that something is going to occur. Even the scientists are saying the “consciousness” word.

It is no accident that we are all here at this time. Together we are going to experience a transformation that has never happened before. This is a new frontier. How do you know that you might be holding a piece to the puzzle that could help all of us?  When you look back on your life, I bet you the things that you remember and hold dear to your heart, and will never forget are the very simple and subtle things. I also bet that they are the acts that were done in unconditional love. That’s it. The rest are isms.

One of my concerns is that I am not “helping in my community”. I thought about joining a group that is sponsored by Dannion Brinkley called the Twilight Brigade. They help dying people cross over. {I also don’t like dead people … but am doing much better} The training facility is in Phoenix, but the trainer told me that if I could gather fifteen people here, he would come here and train us. I don’t even know fifteen people here!

Since I started blogging, I have helped people. I have helped myself because true feelings come out when you write. And when you read it back, sometimes, it even makes sense. The other day, one lady contacted Jan, the host of this blog and asked about me. She told Jan that she enjoyed an article that I wrote. That made my whole day. Can you imagine the power of love we could experience if we all could touch each other’s heart, one by one?

Jan is a powerful beautiful lady and I am blessed to call her my friend. She is always so careful to respect one’s freewill. I on the other hand, am out spoken most of the time. We have the same message, just different techniques in our deliverance.

I promise you have something to say.  I promise there is someone that will really appreciate what you say.  Can’t you take five minutes out of your busy day to make some one else’s day?

Peace always

Last week, a dear friend of mine had her two quads stolen; they were recovered, but she had to spend a lot of time with the local sheriff’s dept. and the local state police dept. to release the quads.

This week, while cat-sitting for a friend, one of the cats disappeared; possibly slipping out the door when it had been opened. My friend, along with the cat’s owner, have been frantically searching for this missing cat.

The same time she was searching for the missing cat, I received a phone call from our security company telling me that the house alarm went off; they also informed me that the sheriff’s dept. was en-route to my house. I was totally focused on the welfare of my cat…was she okay? Did she get out?

By the time I was on the main road home, I was literally behind the sheriff cars.

After the deputies ‘cleared’ the house, my husband and I went in to find the cat, and discussed what had happened. I hadn’t locked the front door before I left, and a micro-burst of wind (not sure why they call them micro-bursts – sounds like a semi hitting the house) had popped the door open.

My husband and I also frantically searched inside and out for our cat – and I was frustrated because I couldn’t sense her at all (when cat’s hide, they hide).

I calmed myself and realized that I felt she was in the house. I made one final pass through the house. Lo and behold, there she sat in the middle of the floor in our bedroom.

I shortly received the call from my friend about her trying to find the lost cat there.

During our conversation, she asked me what the deal was with she and I, and Cops and cats; what was the message in this? The synchronicity was too blatant; I didn’t have an answer for her…until I began to drift off to sleep that night.

The answer popped in loud and clear…she and I were each spending too much time working in the non-physical. In other words, we weren’t present here and now; we needed to pay more attention to our physical lives and surroundings.

Some people are seeing/experiencing ‘Cops & Cats’ in another form…their past.

It’s also time to release the past – the past hurts, aches, sorrows, etc. that we feel we received, as well as what we gave. It’s time to forgive others – and forgive ourselves; clean out the baggage we have hauled with us through out the years.

Release the old to make room for the new and to enjoy the ‘now’.

Where are the ‘Cops & Cats’ in your life right now? What do you need to do to release the past and be in the now?

Things are happening so fast. In the past, experiences of the paranormal would happen occasionally, but now, it seems like every person that I am in contact with, whether it be a close friend or the local cashier, something “booga booga” happens. Wow, what an awesome time to be alive!

For many years, I have known that you create your own reality by the very words that come out of your mouth.  There are no victims, every reality begins with a thought. If you change the way you  look at life, your life will surely change. Today, we don’t even have to believe, our creations are manifesting almost instantly. I love it!

I was reading an article about the fifth dimension. The information was channeled from one of the sacred sites that is located around the Mt Shasta area, in Northern California. I thought the article was really good. It was basically a plea for our civilization to wake up and get ready. Jesus is coming!

In the article, they also say that for those who ask for guidance through wisdom, if you go there in prayer, you won’t be denied. These teachings are done while you sleep, and the teachers are from the inner earth. They live in the fifth dimension. It would probably help you tremendously if you read the article before you continue.

I wanted to experience the teachings that were being channeled, so I decided to try to connect with this enlightened being.

As I went to bed, I prayed or meditated {same thing} that I be taught in my sleep. After a few minutes into this, I fell asleep. I didn’t dream, but I knew that something was going on. The feeling was very intense, DENSE, I was very dizzy, and I was so cold, which is never the case for me at night. I would start to wake up just long enough to see that it was real. I knew that I had to stay very still or I could get hurt or possibly even die, and it seemed like I had no choice to but to go with it, because I was there, I made that choice long ago. My experiences were done telepathically, on a level that can not be properly translated into three dimensional language. It was like a feeling of knowing. When I awoke the next morning, my body felt like I had been beaten up. I went to lift my dog onto the bed, and I couldn’t pick her up. When I went to get into the shower, I had two bruises on my stomach that weren’t there the night before.

The overall feeling that I felt about the experience was forth dimensional, walking between worlds, I vaguely remember thinking that you don’t want to be there, but I have no idea why I thought that.

The next day,  when I went to bed I prayed that I be taught in my sleep. This time, I had a tour of the fifth dimension. I say this because as I woke up, “A peek into the fifth dimension” was my over all thought. Like the previous night, it was on a telepathic level. It was a feeling of pure love, beauty, and oneness, through out the entire experience. I woke up in a state of appreciation for living, and I felt homesick. It was an awesome ride.

What I am coming to realize is this;  We are Gods chosen people. Each and every one of us is going to experience the Dawning of the Age of Aquarius. We are going to be transformed, it has already started. And it hurts. We have the ability to do great things, that even the angels envy.

However, to much that is given, much is required. Pretty much all three dimensional behavior will not be able to survive. Its time to wake up. Its time to get ready, and it is so worth it.

Each one of us is going to be tested and tested by the very thing that we are the weakest in. For me, it’s my kids. I am true to my school when it comes to my family. I have also been a pretty heavy smoker for some thirty five years. I have tried to quit in the past and made it about four days. I really think that during one of the nights that I wrote above, something happened to me. I realized that I have an addictive personality, and I am sure that doesn’t fit into the Golden Age. My desire to get this next few years right is my priority, so much so, that my desire to smoke left. I haven’t smoked in almost a month and I don’t miss it.

Bottom line is that one of two things is going to happen to each and every one of us within the next two years.

We raise our vibration to meet the New Age. Time is so short now, that regardless of what you have to let go of, loose, or what ever you want to call it, there is sufficient help to get you through it. I used to tell my daughter and her friends that I didn’t understand how anyone could not graduate from high school, when all you have to do is show up. Look at the big picture. Make a conscious effort to seek truth and love. Do this with every thought and word, every moment of every day. You will find that what you thought you knew nothing about six months ago, you now are. That is raising your vibration, and you can not fake it.

Or, remain the same. Stay a slave to your ego and in a parallel universe, there is another 3D world waiting just for you with all the BS and injustice and negativity that we have now, if you haven’t had enough. People that don’t or can’t take 2012 seriously won’t make it…. this time around.

There are so many people, and spiritual teachers, guides, your own intuition, etc that are happy to help.  I am finding the whole process very fascinating. It’s better than watching a good sci-fi movie, except you are living it. How cool is that?

See you on the next one.

Peace

Liz
