Living on the Timeline

Alice: But it's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: Lewis Carroll


Many people are interested in who they were in a past life. A few seem to feel that what is going on in their life now, the problems or the people, come from a different time and place. In reality, this is somewhat correct. The past, present and the future exist all at once when we are focused on this planet Earth, in a timeline.

Accumulated lifetimes of focus and energy in certain areas can be determined by the south node in one’s astrological chart. The south node is the repository of all those lifetimes that you have talents, skills and abilities and are confident in what you can do. The north node in your chart is where you need to go to learn how to gain new skills and abilities and to balance out the past where you become stuck. In my counseling one of the first things I look at in a client’s chart is the south node, what sign it is in, what house it occupies, and if that person is “hanging around there” now. The sign of the north node, which is going to be opposite the south node, and in the house opposite the location of the south node, will tell me where this person needs to focus energy and intention in order to move forward in this lifetime.

In my experience as a hypnotherapist one of the most fun things to do is past life therapeutic sessions. Along with Alchemical hypnosis for this lifetime, the experience of viewing previous lifetimes can explain a lot and help a person to make decisions. In my own history of growth, the many regressions I have had both spontaneously and through focused regression have been so very helpful. Several people who were in my life at the time appeared in these regressions in different form and in different places, but the underlying theme of that lifetime, and my relationship with those people, is what answered a lot of questions for me and helped to heal both the relationships and experiences in the present.

“I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is 'Who in the world am I?' Ah, that's the great puzzle!?

The recent research in Quantum physics and the introduction of a lot of great movies like “What The Bleep” have helped progress the idea of multiple realities which can, of course include past and future lifetimes. I once had a client come to be for a regression in order to make a decision in her life that would impact not only herself but her children and current husband as well. She had experienced meeting a man recently and had felt a deep and immediate connection with him. Both of them realized that they knew each other, but didn’t, and the feelings were intense and deep. Her husband at the time was stationed overseas and she and their children were set to join him in a few months. Now her life seemed confused and she was worried about making the wrong decision, so she thought that maybe if she could find the explanation for this sudden intense relationship that she could then sort out the path that she was coming up on that would determine the next part of her life. When she came for the hypnosis session she shared that both her husband and her new found love were aware that she was going to do a regression to help her make a decision. As she began to relax into the session she was able to go right to the lifetime that she had shared with the new man in her life. As she told me what was going on she was also able to see what the connection was and how it had impacted her in that lifetime. As we began to close the session, I asked her to give him a hug and tell him that she appreciated all that he had done for her, the love he had given her, and that now she was ready to progress in this lifetime. As she did this she related that she began to feel an enormous emotional release, and suddenly knew what direction she needed to take.
The next day she called me to thank me and to say that she had called the new man and told him all about her session. He said that at the time she was having her session he was on the golf course in Hawaii, and at one point had felt someone touch him as if they were there physically, so he knew that he had been a part of the session as well. She had also called her husband and told him about the session and that her decision was that she and the children would be joining him overseas as planned. About a year or so later I had moved out of state and both she and her husband had found my new address. They sent me a beautiful letter thanking me for all my help. They related that they had never been happier and when they returned to the states would love to keep in touch. What a blessing for me to be able to help facilitate a solution to a difficult life decision, one I will never forget.

As most of us know we incarnate here to gather experiences for our own soul growth. Many times however we get stuck in this idea of past, present, future as being one following the other. If I die tomorrow then when I decide to incarnate again it will be in some future time. However the truth is, when you leave this plane and decide to incarnate you can go anywhere on the time line that you wish. If more soul growth for you would occur in the 1800’s then you can choose the time and the place for experience. Since the past, present, and future all occur at the same time it is just a matter of focus of consciousness. Much like the holo-deck in Star Trek one can experience any time frame that one wishes. We can do this in hypnosis, meditation and also in re incarnation.

There was once a sociological experiment with a focus group to see if changing an environment and immersing a group of people in another time frame would affect them physiologically. Health examinations were done and charted. Then the group was taken to a place where everything was from the 50’s. The people dressed in clothes from that time, ate food that was popular then, etc. They were immersed in a created reality from the past. After at time, health examinations were done again and the interesting and astonishing information was that the individuals physical bodies began to go back to the age the people were when they lived in the 50’s. A great example of how we can actually change our bodies by immersing ourselves in a focus of a different time. If this can be done with older people then how about taking younger people forward?
In my practice as a hypnotherapist working with younger children, I would take them forward in time so they could experience what it would look like and feel like, to be much older. The children quickly grasped how they could control what their lives could be like if they focused on a certain path. No amount of lecturing, cajoling or rewarding worked as well as what these children were able to see for themselves what the results of their actions in the present would create for their future.

What a difference might be made in the education of children if we were to look at their birth charts, their south and north node locations, to help them see their path clearly. Perhaps with the Plutonian break down of government, finance, schools and other institutions we may be able to build upon this idea of education in a more complete, holistic way for children. The children who are incarnating within this time frame seem to have a better understanding of how things work in energy and since they will be our future leaders, lets give them the opportunities and tools to help create the new ways of being and living.
Children are very open to remembering who they were in the previous lifetime, but soon forget with the focused programming of family, school and society. Occasionally we have those that do remember and insist on the family knowing who they were. I once had a client who was from another country, one that was involved in a war which ended before he was born. When he began to talk he told his mother that she was not calling him by the right name and then began to give her his name, rank and serial number. When I met him he was a teenager and on his own had done research on the name he remembered. He found a young soldier from the United States who had died in the war in Vietnam. He truly believed that he was this soldier and had incarnated very quickly after his death. There are many stories such as these from around the globe where children remember who they were.

At present there are many researchers, books, and stories to be told around past life regression and hypnosis. If you are at all interested in pursuing this path I think you will find it very satisfying, enlightening, and may be of great help in resolving any issues you can not seem to get beyond in this lifetime.

The greatest change, and the greatest healing, occurs in the present. Working in the now can change the past, present and the future. Enjoy your journey!
