' Confusion '

Hi Folks!

How are you and how's life?

I'm late by a week !
Do forgive.

I had a great Vipassana course, serving for 10 days.
When one serves a course, (after sitting a minimum of 3 courses), one imbibes the benefits of the technique four times more powerfully than when one is sitting.

You all can start with sitting a course as soon as possible!

In today's post, I want to touch upon something which many of us indulge in quite frequently and get kind of addicted to, just like Guilt.

 Confusion.
Helplessness and bewilderment and befuddlement.

Many people come for a Past Life Regression session claiming they ' just don't know what to do '.

A young man said he was very uncomfortable with people around because they always judge and already have an attitude of superiority even in the first meeting.
He said he avoided most people, preferred to be a loner, whatever the cost and consequences.

He was unhappy but took it as a consequence and mentally, wore it like a badge of honour for not compromising on his ' principles '.

We went into his past lives.

He was a dog which stayed behind, did not really belong to the pack. He fell ill, wanted someone to come to him but no one knew him .
There was no one to look after or be with him and he died alone.

In another, he was a baby elephant who had strayed from the herd and roamed the forests alone.
He was a loner and deliberately stayed away from others.

In yet another, he was an observant, quiet child, fearful of joining the group of boys, ' confused ' about how to approach.
So he did not.
As he grew, he only sat and watched the elders around, thinking that everyone is trying to prove a point.

I next asked him to go to a Polarity past life and he saw himself as a brutal, crude King of ancient India.
There was no friendship and no family.
Others were mere instruments to reach his goal and he did not even consider them as humans, leave alone as equals.
At death, he was indignant that life had not gone his way and angry that he could not control what was happening.

In another similar past life, he was an egotistical, shrewd priest whose knowledge of life and death made him more cunning and manipulative.
He was detached in death because life was a game and he was not involved.

I took him to a point where he could oversee all the past lives and understand what they were all about.

He reluctantly came to the conclusion that in his weaker lifetimes, he had refused to be a part of a pack or a group saying he did not know how to, where as in reality, he had not wanted to.

But in those lifetimes when he was powerful, whether a king or priest, he had brooked no disobedience, spared no thought for another, weak or strong.
After those deaths, there had been no awareness, just a narrow, self-centered outlook.

His two broken marriages, unspoken dependency on parental emotional support which he said he did not need - there was no gratitude, no thought about another in any lifetime including this.

He had sought to find a solution to his fear of people.
At the end of the session , there was no readiness no accept one's own responsibility.

He claimed to feel confusion as to why people behaved the way they did and said he preferred to withdraw as he did not understand what to do.

I called the pack of dogs and asked them why they had not let him be a part, let him die sick and alone.

They said, he did not follow the rules, did not behave like a dog.
He wanted to retain his independence and belong when he felt like it.

Which was not acceptable.
He had been a taker all along, and found it difficult to give or share, now.

The confusion that he claimed to, was about his own unwillingness to belong.


Let me give you another example.

A smart, qualified young lady came with anger issues about her father.
' I know I am born to achieve great things in life. Why doesn't my father help me out? He is an embarrassment many times, and I wish he would not make do all the unethical things he does '.

Priceless, isn't it?!

I took her to a series of  ' the most important past lives connected with your current purpose of life , of wanting to achieve great things '.

Usually, people come up with life times when they have been skilled healers or engineers or warriors, or excelled in man management which would give the right direction in the current life time.

In the few that I took her through, she had been a cowherd, a farm hand etc, had not married, not really taken care of parents or of one's own old age, and died without missing much.

After death, she could not tell why she had chosen those lives and said, ' there were no lessons to learn '.

She reluctantly agreed that she had sown no spectacular seeds of hard work or achievements in her past for them to automatically sprout now, to give her the desired name and fame.

This was more than a little unsettling for her.

I asked her to call her father of this lifetime and speak to him.

Dad was surprised when she asked him to ' just listen to my suggestions, my instructions'. He said he would, in future, but why had she not mentioned before?'

Our girl said -' Maybe I should have, but I thought it would be a waste. '

I asked her to explain about her purpose and that she needed his financial assistance.
But she did not, and the father went off.

When I asked her why, she said that she wanted him to offer on his own, that he should understand her and support her without her asking him.

She had similar demands from her husband, that he should listen to what she said, but when I asked her to listen to what he had to say about her anger issues, she refused to agree, saying  she had a different point of view than his.

She had come because, she said she was ' confused ' as to why no one understood her and supported her.

After the session, when I joined all the dots, she was mighty upset.

This was not what she had come for!

Are you, dear readers, claiming to be ' confused ' about life and the problems it throws at you?

Get out of the clever ' Poor - Me ' syndrome, the laziness and lethargy and whether it is money or respect, wanting everything on a platter as a right.

Each has to be earned.

You know perfectly well what needs to be done, so gather your courage and start doing it.
