I Did Start The Fire

Hi Folks!

How are you doing?


You know, I had read a sentence long ago and it has stayed in my mind-

'Change of Occupation is Relaxation'.

I find it true - again!

I am in a different place, doing completely different things and feeling totally relaxed and happy.

It is good to move away from the known areas of comfort, a lot of learning happens,sometimes consciously, sometimes unobtrusively, always beautifully!


Now let us take up Vaishali's question -

In Past Life Regression, can you go as per your will at any time or is it as per the wish of your higher self/ master guide?

You can go into PLR any time you wish.

Mostly!.

The Masters/Guides have no problem at all, they are keen for you to realise that there IS a bigger picture, that every Effect has a Cause which quite often goes back into past lives.

Now there are some people who find they can not go back at all.


The reasons are many-

Some don't really believe in the theory of past lives.

Some are afraid of 'letting go' the control of their mind as they feel scared.

Well, I would too, if someone was taking over my mind!

(It's mine,Thank-You, I'll muddle through life with all the mess but not submit to being hypnotized and god-knows-what!)

However, the method we follow is the Western one, where the mind is made sharper in its awareness, not put to sleep!

So if you, have a health or relationship issue, fear or phobia, or the best reason of all - CURIOSITY! then go right ahead!


Mrig has a question the answer to which is available in earlier posts but let us refresh again-

She asks-

Where do Souls come from?
How are they born in the first place?
What is their Origin?
If they are eternal, why do we have to learn lessons?


Many of us do get unsettled by what's happening/not happening to us or the world.

You know, we, all of us, each one of us, were a part of Creation once.

Then we decided to experience 'Creating' in all its gore and glory and to do that, decided to take the journey.

Once decided, there is a set route to follow (which was also decided by us so as to cover every aspect ).

The first time around, each soul is born out of its own choice.

Then the natural laws of cause and effect take over.

It comes in a group of 150-200 to experience all the emotions/ failings/ victories.

It learns along the way and goes back to its original home.

Leaving it in the first place and going back to it, is totally out of its own choice.

Its like wanting to swim across a turbulent river in spate because it is so exciting and exhilerating.

Or white-water rafting!

Or mountain-climbing!

Each of us wanted this adventure and have chosen to be here at this time in this family/relationship/country etc.

So - I did start my fire !
It was always burning, since the world was turning!


Please do read the posts on The 7 Stages of The Soul and those on Chakras too.

Once in a while, it is good to keep in mind that we are responsible for all that happens to us.

There is no kind/unkind entity sitting on top of us who is punishing or rewarding us.

We may have chosen tough lessons in this life, but when we did, we were Spirit, not limited by the body, had all the intelligence and consciousness at command and had complete faith in our ability in our human form to overcome the chosen obstacles and move up and closer to our Home faster.

So when life seems tough/cruel/horrible/mess/a confusion - step back and think what's it that it is trying to tell you.

There is always a lesson in repeated patterns and the moment you decipher it and resolve it, the nasty situations stop appearing and life becomes smoother.

There was a related question in the mail, let us look at it.

WHAT does the Universe want from me?

It wants what you want.

Many times we have a detailed list of what we don't want - things/people/qualities in us or others -

When it comes to what we DO want, there is fumbling, a bit of confusion.

We want to be good and holy and spiritual and loved and successful and wealthy and pure and to attain Nirvana at the end of this life.

Or before, like The Buddha.

The spiritual and material are not mutually exclusive.

One has to learn to listen to oneself and understand what one wants.
Then focus unwaveringly without allowing any distractions.

Today's Spiritual Market has a lot of attractively packaged stuff.
There will be thousands of books and view-points and contradictions too.

What will help is, the actual practice.


So I am back to my favourite -

Meditate!

Still your mind so that you can listen to its wisdom.

We are wise, all of us, we just have to realise it and respect it in us.

So long for now-

Next time, I will tell you about a really, truly favourite book of mine which I got to read again, quite unexpectedly.

It was - and will always be - as marvellous as ever!

Have a great fortnight!
