Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:11,104 --> 00:00:13,521
(soft music)
2
00:00:14,833 --> 00:00:15,873
- My spirit guides tell me
3
00:00:15,873 --> 00:00:18,140
that it's difficult to
learn certain things
4
00:00:18,140 --> 00:00:19,490
in the afterlife.
5
00:00:19,490 --> 00:00:21,440
So I agreed to put a part of myself
6
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,417
down on this chaotic
planet to learn and grow.
7
00:00:24,417 --> 00:00:26,140
So wait a minute?
8
00:00:26,140 --> 00:00:27,830
I agreed to this madness?
9
00:00:27,830 --> 00:00:29,630
I agreed to some master plan
10
00:00:29,630 --> 00:00:31,860
and intentionally
subjected myself to misery
11
00:00:31,860 --> 00:00:33,990
for the sole purpose of learning?
12
00:00:33,990 --> 00:00:36,320
The answer I got was simple.
13
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,748
Yes.
14
00:00:38,748 --> 00:00:41,498
(ethereal music)
15
00:00:53,690 --> 00:00:54,930
There I was.
16
00:00:54,930 --> 00:00:57,020
I was born into this cute little meat sack
17
00:00:57,020 --> 00:00:59,853
and stumbled along with
an optimistic stride.
18
00:01:00,950 --> 00:01:02,450
What is this place?
19
00:01:02,450 --> 00:01:03,950
What's it all about?
20
00:01:03,950 --> 00:01:04,890
I had a gut feeling
21
00:01:04,890 --> 00:01:06,884
I was gonna experience plenty of joy here,
22
00:01:06,884 --> 00:01:08,620
but never once considered
23
00:01:08,620 --> 00:01:10,778
hardship and pain.
24
00:01:10,778 --> 00:01:13,528
(ethereal music)
25
00:01:15,692 --> 00:01:18,442
(dramatic music)
26
00:01:27,730 --> 00:01:29,704
In my exploration into spirituality,
27
00:01:29,704 --> 00:01:31,630
I discovered an intriguing concept
28
00:01:31,630 --> 00:01:32,918
that seemed to upset some,
29
00:01:32,918 --> 00:01:34,767
but yet liberate others.
30
00:01:34,767 --> 00:01:36,980
That concept is the pre-birth plan.
31
00:01:36,980 --> 00:01:39,397
(soft music)
32
00:01:42,420 --> 00:01:45,783
James, do we ever break
away from our soul group
33
00:01:45,783 --> 00:01:49,580
and maybe experiment with
a little bit diverse--
34
00:01:49,580 --> 00:01:50,690
- Good question.
- Could groups.
35
00:01:50,690 --> 00:01:52,270
- So when we look at a soul group,
36
00:01:52,270 --> 00:01:54,733
I believe, and of course, I
won't know until I pass over,
37
00:01:54,733 --> 00:01:56,951
but I think we're part
of many soul groups.
38
00:01:56,951 --> 00:01:57,784
- Ah.
39
00:01:57,784 --> 00:01:58,617
- Yeah.
40
00:01:58,617 --> 00:01:59,630
I don't think it's just one soul group.
41
00:01:59,630 --> 00:02:01,570
I think we're part of many soul groups
42
00:02:01,570 --> 00:02:03,120
all at the same time, simultaneously.
43
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,687
And I really think that's closer to it.
44
00:02:05,687 --> 00:02:07,660
So I like a lot about the tree.
45
00:02:07,660 --> 00:02:08,623
The tree?
46
00:02:09,510 --> 00:02:10,700
Analogy for tree,
47
00:02:10,700 --> 00:02:12,070
because you have the trunk
48
00:02:12,070 --> 00:02:14,080
and all those branches and leaves,
49
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:15,520
which make up that one tree.
50
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,080
So we're probably part of a lot
51
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,020
of different soul groups, I think.
52
00:02:19,020 --> 00:02:20,541
- Safe to say that we choose
53
00:02:20,541 --> 00:02:22,730
our parents, our children.
54
00:02:22,730 --> 00:02:23,563
- Absolutely.
55
00:02:23,563 --> 00:02:24,970
We certainly choose those relationships.
56
00:02:24,970 --> 00:02:26,210
Those are very formative.
57
00:02:26,210 --> 00:02:28,740
And some people are fortunate
enough to have parents
58
00:02:28,740 --> 00:02:30,813
that they have beautiful,
loving relationship with,
59
00:02:30,813 --> 00:02:33,103
that they feel loved and
supported throughout their life.
60
00:02:33,103 --> 00:02:35,820
And others are not so fortunate.
61
00:02:35,820 --> 00:02:38,020
They might deal with a
parent that has an addiction,
62
00:02:38,020 --> 00:02:40,375
or that is not able to show them love,
63
00:02:40,375 --> 00:02:42,370
or that are dealing with
their own challenges.
64
00:02:42,370 --> 00:02:43,677
And we really come in
65
00:02:43,677 --> 00:02:45,632
to give them the opportunity to do better,
66
00:02:45,632 --> 00:02:48,630
and also to learn and to
choose to not be a victim
67
00:02:48,630 --> 00:02:49,940
in these situations,
68
00:02:49,940 --> 00:02:51,327
to have our own autonomy and identity.
69
00:02:51,327 --> 00:02:54,709
Those are roles that I believe
parents, siblings, spouses,
70
00:02:54,709 --> 00:02:58,399
those are roles that I always
agree to before we come in.
71
00:02:58,399 --> 00:03:00,180
- You know, I always wonder if
72
00:03:00,180 --> 00:03:02,652
we ever break away from our soul group
73
00:03:02,652 --> 00:03:07,060
and want want to experience
another soul group?
74
00:03:07,060 --> 00:03:09,540
- My understanding of a soul group
75
00:03:09,540 --> 00:03:12,140
is that it's a collection of souls
76
00:03:12,140 --> 00:03:13,985
who are more or less the same vibration,
77
00:03:13,985 --> 00:03:16,515
meaning more or less the
same evolutionary stage.
78
00:03:16,515 --> 00:03:19,080
And you take turns incarnating
79
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,810
with the various members
of your soul group
80
00:03:20,810 --> 00:03:22,603
playing every conceivable
role for each other.
81
00:03:22,603 --> 00:03:25,410
So you and the other
members of your soul group
82
00:03:25,410 --> 00:03:27,140
will be father and son,
83
00:03:27,140 --> 00:03:27,973
mother and daughter,
84
00:03:27,973 --> 00:03:29,131
brother an sister, husband and wife,
85
00:03:29,131 --> 00:03:30,899
best of friends,
86
00:03:30,899 --> 00:03:34,140
maybe even murder and
the one who is murdered.
87
00:03:34,140 --> 00:03:36,160
And there's no judgment at the soul level
88
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:37,130
of any of the roles.
89
00:03:37,130 --> 00:03:38,530
They're all seen as opportunities
90
00:03:38,530 --> 00:03:39,925
for expansion and learning.
91
00:03:39,925 --> 00:03:42,352
Now in regard to learning,
92
00:03:42,352 --> 00:03:44,390
some members of a soul group
93
00:03:44,390 --> 00:03:46,500
invariably learn faster than others.
94
00:03:46,500 --> 00:03:50,090
So they may evolve out of their soul group
95
00:03:50,090 --> 00:03:52,650
and move into a higher
vibrational soul group.
96
00:03:52,650 --> 00:03:54,100
And by the same token,
97
00:03:54,100 --> 00:03:55,400
there may be another soul group
98
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,165
of lower vibration than yours,
99
00:03:57,165 --> 00:03:58,976
but there's some fast learners in there
100
00:03:58,976 --> 00:04:01,720
who then move into your soul group.
101
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:02,880
So for the most part,
102
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,755
you're incarnating with the
same souls again and again,
103
00:04:05,755 --> 00:04:08,520
but some, a few, will move out,
104
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,078
and a few more will move in.
105
00:04:10,078 --> 00:04:12,916
Although, when you put
your life plan together,
106
00:04:12,916 --> 00:04:15,994
if you need a soul to
play a particular role
107
00:04:15,994 --> 00:04:17,880
for something that you're scripting,
108
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,112
and there's no soul in your soul group
109
00:04:21,112 --> 00:04:22,060
that is skilled at that,
110
00:04:22,060 --> 00:04:23,931
or wants to take on the role,
111
00:04:23,931 --> 00:04:26,090
you will go to another soul group
112
00:04:26,090 --> 00:04:28,270
and ask another soul there
113
00:04:28,270 --> 00:04:31,120
would you, you know, agree
to play this role for me.
114
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,719
That happens quite frequently.
115
00:04:32,719 --> 00:04:35,430
(soft music)
116
00:04:35,430 --> 00:04:36,920
- It didn't take me long to realize
117
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,538
that this place is quite
different from the afterlife.
118
00:04:38,538 --> 00:04:41,220
A whole new set of rules
119
00:04:41,220 --> 00:04:43,470
and things I wasn't
exactly comfortable with.
120
00:04:44,550 --> 00:04:45,750
The memory of the afterlife
121
00:04:45,750 --> 00:04:47,233
was starting to disappear.
122
00:04:48,110 --> 00:04:49,498
It was now time to immerse myself
123
00:04:49,498 --> 00:04:51,984
into the human experience.
124
00:04:51,984 --> 00:04:54,734
(ethereal music)
125
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:01,760
What's all involved in
designing our life plan,
126
00:05:02,280 --> 00:05:03,796
like what's all involved?
127
00:05:03,796 --> 00:05:04,629
- Sure.
128
00:05:04,629 --> 00:05:06,440
I believe that there's groups
129
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,020
who's job it is, beings, guides, teachers,
130
00:05:09,020 --> 00:05:10,970
who gather together with the soul,
131
00:05:10,970 --> 00:05:13,410
or soul group, and they
figure out the curriculum
132
00:05:13,410 --> 00:05:14,740
for that soul to learn.
133
00:05:14,740 --> 00:05:17,630
The best opportune time
for them to be born
134
00:05:17,630 --> 00:05:20,034
so that various experiences
will be available
135
00:05:20,034 --> 00:05:21,920
at that particular second,
136
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,070
the first breath is taken.
137
00:05:24,070 --> 00:05:26,520
It doesn't matter caesarian,
or born naturally.
138
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,220
It's when that breath is taken.
139
00:05:28,220 --> 00:05:30,620
And really, things will
happen to that soul
140
00:05:30,620 --> 00:05:32,730
because of that, in that way,
141
00:05:32,730 --> 00:05:33,563
you know, the planets
142
00:05:33,563 --> 00:05:34,710
are a certain position when we're born,
143
00:05:34,710 --> 00:05:37,450
everything goes into
movement in the physical
144
00:05:37,450 --> 00:05:39,000
the moment we take our first breath.
145
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,220
So I think that they look at that,
146
00:05:40,220 --> 00:05:42,610
the opportunities that soul needs
147
00:05:42,610 --> 00:05:44,180
that can afford that soul to grow.
148
00:05:44,180 --> 00:05:45,690
And that is interesting too.
149
00:05:45,690 --> 00:05:47,520
It might be a soul that comes back.
150
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:48,660
Let's say there was a,
151
00:05:48,660 --> 00:05:51,160
they left a body, suicide,
let's say suicide.
152
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:52,250
And they left the body.
153
00:05:52,250 --> 00:05:53,130
They were feeling great,
154
00:05:53,130 --> 00:05:54,980
but they just, they left the body
155
00:05:54,980 --> 00:05:56,270
'cause they didn't wanna be here anymore.
156
00:05:56,270 --> 00:05:58,490
They might find that, let's say it's 30,
157
00:05:58,490 --> 00:05:59,964
they might find they come back
158
00:05:59,964 --> 00:06:01,810
that there's gonna be certain factors
159
00:06:01,810 --> 00:06:03,704
that are the exact same factors they had
160
00:06:03,704 --> 00:06:06,410
in a previous life around 30 years of age
161
00:06:06,410 --> 00:06:08,970
and there might be a soul
memory that comes back.
162
00:06:08,970 --> 00:06:09,803
They feel negative.
163
00:06:09,803 --> 00:06:10,870
They feel fearful.
164
00:06:10,870 --> 00:06:13,050
But they gotta realize
they can't leave the world
165
00:06:13,050 --> 00:06:15,400
because in another lifetime they did.
166
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:16,388
So it might not be conscious,
167
00:06:16,388 --> 00:06:19,820
but they might feel this at
the same time, physical time,
168
00:06:19,820 --> 00:06:22,304
30 years old, something's
stirred inside of them.
169
00:06:22,304 --> 00:06:24,770
And it's an opportunity to grow.
170
00:06:24,770 --> 00:06:27,160
And sometimes souls don't do it.
171
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:28,790
Sometimes some souls
will choose to go back
172
00:06:28,790 --> 00:06:30,960
to that old way and end their life,
173
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,520
or whatever experience is,
174
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:33,740
or sometimes will move on
175
00:06:33,740 --> 00:06:35,450
and learn from it and move on.
176
00:06:35,450 --> 00:06:36,740
So that's just something to look at.
177
00:06:36,740 --> 00:06:37,940
I think very interesting.
178
00:06:37,940 --> 00:06:39,110
- The best that I understand,
179
00:06:39,110 --> 00:06:40,696
a pre-birth plan are plans that we make
180
00:06:40,696 --> 00:06:42,858
before we come into the physical.
181
00:06:42,858 --> 00:06:44,987
We usually make them with
people in our soul group,
182
00:06:44,987 --> 00:06:46,880
those are people that maybe
183
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:48,398
perhaps we've had other lifetimes with.
184
00:06:48,398 --> 00:06:49,700
We come in.
185
00:06:49,700 --> 00:06:53,110
We are surrounded by
guides that will be with us
186
00:06:53,110 --> 00:06:54,240
for all of our life.
187
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:55,820
We go to Akashic records.
188
00:06:55,820 --> 00:06:58,980
We have a lot of help deciding
on what we want to learn
189
00:06:58,980 --> 00:07:00,452
and experience here in the physical.
190
00:07:00,452 --> 00:07:02,998
Sometimes we might come
in as a supporting player.
191
00:07:02,998 --> 00:07:04,990
Say you need to have a lifetime
192
00:07:04,990 --> 00:07:06,399
where you experience addiction, or loss,
193
00:07:06,399 --> 00:07:08,372
or mental illness.
194
00:07:08,372 --> 00:07:11,180
I might agree to come in
and support you through that
195
00:07:11,180 --> 00:07:13,300
and they'll be lessons that
I learn through that as well,
196
00:07:13,300 --> 00:07:14,578
or it could be vice versa.
197
00:07:14,578 --> 00:07:17,008
It really depends on what lessons
198
00:07:17,008 --> 00:07:18,626
the soul decided to learn.
199
00:07:18,626 --> 00:07:20,410
- Why do you think it is hard
200
00:07:20,410 --> 00:07:22,960
for people to grasp the idea
201
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,180
of a pre-birth plan?
202
00:07:24,180 --> 00:07:26,205
What are some of the
challenges you've seen?
203
00:07:26,205 --> 00:07:27,650
- Part of the challenge, I think,
204
00:07:27,650 --> 00:07:29,992
is being in western society.
205
00:07:29,992 --> 00:07:34,380
Because this idea is not
part of Western society.
206
00:07:34,380 --> 00:07:38,590
And in Eastern societies, I
think it's more easily accepted.
207
00:07:38,590 --> 00:07:41,690
A lot of it has to do with
religious conditioning.
208
00:07:41,690 --> 00:07:43,350
You know, the conditioning
you're raised with
209
00:07:43,350 --> 00:07:45,980
by your parents, that's very powerful.
210
00:07:45,980 --> 00:07:48,180
And if it doesn't include
some kind of teaching
211
00:07:48,180 --> 00:07:50,716
about pre-birth existence
or pre-birth planning,
212
00:07:50,716 --> 00:07:54,682
it can be very difficult to
open up to that later in life.
213
00:07:54,682 --> 00:07:56,380
But I think there's something else
214
00:07:56,380 --> 00:07:57,880
even bigger going on here,
215
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,440
and that is there's an
entire category of people
216
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,300
who are resistant to the idea
217
00:08:03,300 --> 00:08:04,797
that we plan our lives before we're born.
218
00:08:04,797 --> 00:08:06,358
And the reason they're resistant
219
00:08:06,358 --> 00:08:10,322
is that it makes them no longer victims.
220
00:08:10,322 --> 00:08:14,278
There are a lot of secondary
benefits to being a victim.
221
00:08:14,278 --> 00:08:15,111
- Secondary benefits.
222
00:08:15,111 --> 00:08:15,944
(laughs)
223
00:08:15,944 --> 00:08:16,777
- Well, there are.
224
00:08:16,777 --> 00:08:18,200
You know, get get sympathy
from other people.
225
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:19,033
- Sure, benefits.
226
00:08:19,033 --> 00:08:20,517
- It's a way to bond with others.
227
00:08:20,517 --> 00:08:21,623
- So celebrity.
228
00:08:21,623 --> 00:08:22,490
You become a celebrity.
229
00:08:22,490 --> 00:08:23,640
- It's a way to bond with others
230
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,060
who also see themselves as victims.
231
00:08:25,060 --> 00:08:27,860
And I'm not judging or putting that down.
232
00:08:27,860 --> 00:08:30,410
It's only natural that
if people would be drawn
233
00:08:30,410 --> 00:08:32,146
to those sorts of benefits.
- Sure.
234
00:08:32,146 --> 00:08:35,699
- But at some point, if
you're really going to heal
235
00:08:35,699 --> 00:08:37,483
and learn and grow,
236
00:08:37,483 --> 00:08:40,341
you have to move beyond
victim consciousness.
237
00:08:40,341 --> 00:08:43,758
So if you buy into the concept
238
00:08:43,758 --> 00:08:46,030
that you are the powerful soul
239
00:08:46,030 --> 00:08:48,982
who planned all the major
experiences in your life,
240
00:08:48,982 --> 00:08:51,600
then you can no longer be a victim.
241
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,559
It makes you responsible for
what's happening in your life.
242
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,140
And in order to really heal,
243
00:08:57,140 --> 00:08:58,485
you have to take responsibility
244
00:08:58,485 --> 00:09:00,740
for what happens in your life.
245
00:09:00,740 --> 00:09:02,683
But there are people who
are not ready to do that,
246
00:09:02,683 --> 00:09:04,670
and they're very resistant to this idea.
247
00:09:04,670 --> 00:09:05,643
- Yeah, accountability is difficult.
248
00:09:05,643 --> 00:09:07,950
So why do you think it's difficult
249
00:09:07,950 --> 00:09:09,448
for some people to grasp the idea
250
00:09:09,448 --> 00:09:11,200
of a pre-birth plan?
251
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,350
- Well, a pre-birth plan
252
00:09:13,350 --> 00:09:15,730
really puts the responsibility on us.
253
00:09:15,730 --> 00:09:18,290
And a lot of people like to think,
254
00:09:18,290 --> 00:09:21,025
or do think, or have
been taught to believe
255
00:09:21,025 --> 00:09:22,625
that that's outside of us,
256
00:09:22,625 --> 00:09:24,189
there's someone else responsible
257
00:09:24,189 --> 00:09:25,617
for the way that our life goes.
258
00:09:25,617 --> 00:09:27,333
And from my experience,
259
00:09:27,333 --> 00:09:28,920
what I've heard from my guides,
260
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,599
we are the ones that make those decisions.
261
00:09:30,599 --> 00:09:32,599
We're completely supported in spirit.
262
00:09:32,599 --> 00:09:35,152
Perhaps we take a little bit too much off,
263
00:09:35,152 --> 00:09:38,487
come in and still have to
have that experience anyway,
264
00:09:38,487 --> 00:09:41,070
but usually we're really guided
265
00:09:41,070 --> 00:09:42,280
as to what we should choose
266
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,047
and what would be best
learning experiences for us.
267
00:09:44,047 --> 00:09:46,504
And when we come here and
have those experiences,
268
00:09:46,504 --> 00:09:48,540
it can be overwhelming.
269
00:09:48,540 --> 00:09:50,911
It can feel as though we're
being punished or victimized
270
00:09:50,911 --> 00:09:53,550
when we're really, we've made this choice,
271
00:09:53,550 --> 00:09:54,980
our decision for ourselves.
272
00:09:54,980 --> 00:09:57,847
- Yeah, well, I think it can
be comforting to be a victim.
273
00:09:57,847 --> 00:09:59,160
- Absolutely.
- Attention.
274
00:09:59,160 --> 00:09:59,993
- Absolutely.
275
00:09:59,993 --> 00:10:01,362
That's a case as well too.
276
00:10:01,362 --> 00:10:04,579
When we do choose to be
responsible for our life, however,
277
00:10:04,579 --> 00:10:06,910
that's a scary thing as well too
278
00:10:06,910 --> 00:10:08,978
because there isn't an
outside force we can blame on.
279
00:10:08,978 --> 00:10:11,003
I had someone say to me just yesterday,
280
00:10:11,003 --> 00:10:13,555
I really feel like God is testing me.
281
00:10:13,555 --> 00:10:15,370
And I said to them,
282
00:10:15,370 --> 00:10:17,480
how about if you were
just testing yourself.
283
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,820
What if you knew that these
experiences were coming,
284
00:10:19,820 --> 00:10:21,715
and you would find the strength
in yourself to overcome it.
285
00:10:21,715 --> 00:10:24,390
And it really just shifted the entire way
286
00:10:24,390 --> 00:10:25,700
that he looked at the situation.
287
00:10:25,700 --> 00:10:27,255
It was a big ah-ha moment for him.
288
00:10:27,255 --> 00:10:29,672
(soft music)
289
00:10:31,210 --> 00:10:32,967
- Can we stray away from our life plan,
290
00:10:32,967 --> 00:10:37,280
or are there guides that
say hey, get back on track?
291
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:38,640
- Well, there could be guides, sure.
292
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,051
I think we have free will.
293
00:10:40,051 --> 00:10:42,023
I think we have free will to,
294
00:10:43,420 --> 00:10:45,415
let's say for instance,
we're walking down a path.
295
00:10:45,415 --> 00:10:47,620
And there's a pond or
a lake in the distance.
296
00:10:47,620 --> 00:10:49,540
We wanna go down there
and hang out at that lake.
297
00:10:49,540 --> 00:10:51,080
You have the right, the
free will to hang out
298
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,813
at that lake as long as you want,
299
00:10:52,813 --> 00:10:56,009
but eventually your higher
self, or your guides,
300
00:10:56,009 --> 00:10:57,940
think more as your higher aspects,
301
00:10:57,940 --> 00:10:59,520
will get you back to that path
302
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:00,740
that you're meant to be on.
303
00:11:00,740 --> 00:11:01,920
So that's really what it is.
304
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,779
And you know more about being on your path
305
00:11:03,779 --> 00:11:05,702
the more in tune you are
with your soul, right.
306
00:11:05,702 --> 00:11:09,160
So and there, people talk about
destiny and free will too,
307
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:10,630
which is, jump in here,
308
00:11:10,630 --> 00:11:12,640
so it might be on your plan
309
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,710
that your destined,
there are destiny points
310
00:11:14,710 --> 00:11:15,850
a soul has to go through.
311
00:11:15,850 --> 00:11:18,210
So it might be destined
that you meet somebody.
312
00:11:18,210 --> 00:11:19,043
You meet somebody.
313
00:11:19,043 --> 00:11:19,876
You have a coffee.
314
00:11:19,876 --> 00:11:20,820
You have a first date.
315
00:11:20,820 --> 00:11:21,700
But you have the free will
316
00:11:21,700 --> 00:11:23,040
what you're gonna do with that person.
317
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,370
You can date them,
318
00:11:24,370 --> 00:11:25,650
and go out on several dates,
319
00:11:25,650 --> 00:11:26,590
become a relationship,
320
00:11:26,590 --> 00:11:28,060
or you can just have that one coffee
321
00:11:28,060 --> 00:11:29,900
and then it's on to something else.
322
00:11:29,900 --> 00:11:31,120
That's your free will.
323
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:32,470
You can choose that.
324
00:11:32,470 --> 00:11:34,057
Choices again are made easier
325
00:11:34,057 --> 00:11:35,750
the more you know yourself,
326
00:11:35,750 --> 00:11:38,051
you know, the more you have
that sense of intuition.
327
00:11:38,051 --> 00:11:41,520
- So I would say that
we choose our challenges
328
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:42,830
prior to birth.
- Absolutely.
329
00:11:42,830 --> 00:11:44,680
Absolutely, they're all chosen.
330
00:11:44,680 --> 00:11:46,320
We do have free will when we're here.
331
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,909
I mean there's obviously
choices and chances
332
00:11:48,909 --> 00:11:50,100
that we can take,
333
00:11:50,100 --> 00:11:52,349
and it might alter an outcome slightly.
334
00:11:52,349 --> 00:11:55,460
But if we are supposed to
transition a certain way,
335
00:11:55,460 --> 00:11:57,770
or we're supposed to
experience a certain disease,
336
00:11:57,770 --> 00:11:59,335
or disorder, or relationship,
337
00:11:59,335 --> 00:12:00,760
those are inevitable.
338
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,580
Even if we take a different path,
339
00:12:02,580 --> 00:12:04,730
we always end up where we are meant to be.
340
00:12:04,730 --> 00:12:07,191
- So how can we gain insight
341
00:12:07,191 --> 00:12:10,640
as to better understand our life plan
342
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:11,915
so we can make sure we're still on track?
343
00:12:11,915 --> 00:12:13,050
- Right.
344
00:12:13,050 --> 00:12:14,902
I think that the people
that ask that question
345
00:12:14,902 --> 00:12:16,167
have nothing to worry about.
346
00:12:16,167 --> 00:12:18,910
It's those of us that don't
ever ask that question,
347
00:12:18,910 --> 00:12:22,270
or don't ever wonder are
we where we need to be.
348
00:12:22,270 --> 00:12:24,291
A couple of ways that
you can really check in.
349
00:12:24,291 --> 00:12:26,670
I think we each have a little intuition.
350
00:12:26,670 --> 00:12:28,320
We each have that little voice in knowing,
351
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:29,667
certainly if something feels wrong
352
00:12:29,667 --> 00:12:31,380
and it's taking a lot of your energy,
353
00:12:31,380 --> 00:12:33,995
or you just don't get
any pleasure from it,
354
00:12:33,995 --> 00:12:35,990
it's time to reevaluate that.
355
00:12:35,990 --> 00:12:39,015
There's also meditation,
yoga, spiritual, prayer.
356
00:12:39,015 --> 00:12:41,170
For everybody, there's
something different.
357
00:12:41,170 --> 00:12:42,590
It just let's you kind of connect.
358
00:12:42,590 --> 00:12:44,960
And also listening to
your heart and your voice,
359
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,950
that really, that's your higher self.
360
00:12:47,950 --> 00:12:49,840
That will never lead you astray.
361
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,530
- Do you think that it's possible
362
00:12:52,530 --> 00:12:56,423
our soul could be working
on two simultaneous lives
363
00:12:56,423 --> 00:12:59,379
somewhere else, or is this even possible?
364
00:12:59,379 --> 00:13:01,510
- Well my understanding is that
365
00:13:01,510 --> 00:13:03,880
that is what the average could is doing.
366
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:05,830
There are a number of
physical incarnations
367
00:13:05,830 --> 00:13:07,450
all happening at the same point in time.
368
00:13:07,450 --> 00:13:09,801
And there are also a number
of non-physical lifetimes
369
00:13:09,801 --> 00:13:14,440
happening at the same time.
370
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,461
So you might think of it this way.
371
00:13:16,461 --> 00:13:20,010
You know, imagine that every lifetime,
372
00:13:20,010 --> 00:13:21,740
both physical and non-physical,
373
00:13:21,740 --> 00:13:23,261
that a soul is currently having,
374
00:13:23,261 --> 00:13:26,693
each one is like a song on a CD.
375
00:13:26,693 --> 00:13:30,940
Now you, because of the
limitations of the five senses,
376
00:13:30,940 --> 00:13:32,151
if you're playing a CD,
377
00:13:32,151 --> 00:13:34,055
you can only listen to one song
378
00:13:34,055 --> 00:13:36,056
at one moment in linear time.
379
00:13:36,056 --> 00:13:38,697
But your soul has no limitation like that.
380
00:13:38,697 --> 00:13:42,670
It's like your soul is listening
to all the songs on the CD
381
00:13:42,670 --> 00:13:44,355
at the same point in time
382
00:13:44,355 --> 00:13:46,910
because it's perceiving
all of those physical
383
00:13:46,910 --> 00:13:49,830
and non-physical lifetimes in each moment.
384
00:13:49,830 --> 00:13:51,467
- Again, the time thing gets in the way.
385
00:13:51,467 --> 00:13:52,300
- The time thing, yeah.
386
00:13:52,300 --> 00:13:54,717
(soft music)
387
00:13:55,560 --> 00:13:56,560
- Is it true that
388
00:13:56,560 --> 00:14:01,560
we choose things like cancer,
alcoholism, abusive parents?
389
00:14:02,958 --> 00:14:05,250
Do we choose these?
390
00:14:05,250 --> 00:14:07,482
- I think it's a little
more complicated than that
391
00:14:07,482 --> 00:14:09,064
because I think there
are many factors involved
392
00:14:09,064 --> 00:14:10,430
in those issues.
393
00:14:10,430 --> 00:14:13,500
So for instance, I think it
has a lot to do with genetics.
394
00:14:13,500 --> 00:14:16,070
I think the heredity that
you come in with that,
395
00:14:16,070 --> 00:14:18,580
that strain, that line of genetics
396
00:14:18,580 --> 00:14:19,990
might be predisposed to cancer,
397
00:14:19,990 --> 00:14:22,158
might be predisposed to alcoholism.
398
00:14:22,158 --> 00:14:24,538
So that might be a possibility
399
00:14:24,538 --> 00:14:26,832
that that soul takes on that condition
400
00:14:26,832 --> 00:14:28,750
and they choose that family line
401
00:14:28,750 --> 00:14:30,470
because maybe they have to learn something
402
00:14:30,470 --> 00:14:33,470
through cancerous
condition, or alcoholism.
403
00:14:33,470 --> 00:14:34,560
So again, it's about learning
404
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,480
so they'll choose a family line
405
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,160
where that might be a possibility.
406
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:39,023
- Oh, okay.
407
00:14:40,137 --> 00:14:40,970
- So it's an interesting
way to look at it.
408
00:14:40,970 --> 00:14:42,878
Now again, once you have that situation,
409
00:14:42,878 --> 00:14:44,698
you can decide what to do about it, right.
410
00:14:44,698 --> 00:14:47,010
This is an interesting thing too.
411
00:14:47,010 --> 00:14:49,458
It came through with AIDS
when AIDS first came around.
412
00:14:49,458 --> 00:14:51,260
I worked a lot with AIDS patients.
413
00:14:51,260 --> 00:14:53,250
I was a volunteer many places.
414
00:14:53,250 --> 00:14:56,270
I came in, it was the first
time it came through to me,
415
00:14:56,270 --> 00:14:57,740
and some kinds of cancers as well,
416
00:14:57,740 --> 00:15:00,678
and that that soul might
have chosen that condition,
417
00:15:00,678 --> 00:15:02,990
that it's AIDS or cancer
or another condition,
418
00:15:02,990 --> 00:15:05,110
to kind of be a martyr,
419
00:15:05,110 --> 00:15:06,260
and that they're trying to relieve
420
00:15:06,260 --> 00:15:07,870
a lot of the negative karma
421
00:15:07,870 --> 00:15:08,793
of this planet.
422
00:15:10,420 --> 00:15:11,253
It might be such an evolved being
423
00:15:11,253 --> 00:15:12,250
that's taken on that condition
424
00:15:12,250 --> 00:15:15,860
in order to take away the
negative energy of the planet.
425
00:15:15,860 --> 00:15:17,732
So that's an interesting insight too,
426
00:15:17,732 --> 00:15:19,260
which is a possibility.
427
00:15:19,260 --> 00:15:21,920
Another thing which is interesting,
428
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,210
I once brought through a lady's brother
429
00:15:24,210 --> 00:15:26,232
who was a quadriplegic in life.
430
00:15:26,232 --> 00:15:28,530
And he came through very clearly
431
00:15:28,530 --> 00:15:30,548
and walking and dancing,
432
00:15:30,548 --> 00:15:32,606
and he said I took on that condition
433
00:15:32,606 --> 00:15:34,990
because I had to teach
other people around me
434
00:15:34,990 --> 00:15:37,080
about unconditional love.
435
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:38,270
And it was a very evolved being
436
00:15:38,270 --> 00:15:39,590
that took on that condition
437
00:15:39,590 --> 00:15:40,887
to teach others about unconditional love.
438
00:15:40,887 --> 00:15:42,540
- Taking one for the team.
439
00:15:42,540 --> 00:15:43,382
- Taking one for the team.
440
00:15:43,382 --> 00:15:44,820
And when you're evolved,
441
00:15:44,820 --> 00:15:46,374
and you look down, you
realize life is very short.
442
00:15:46,374 --> 00:15:47,727
So what's the point?
443
00:15:47,727 --> 00:15:49,490
The condition is yeah, it's nothing
444
00:15:49,490 --> 00:15:51,200
in the scope of time.
445
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:52,253
And it helps a lot of souls.
446
00:15:52,253 --> 00:15:55,708
- Why would we choose
experiences with great challenge?
447
00:15:55,708 --> 00:15:58,380
- We don't really see
them as great challenges
448
00:15:58,380 --> 00:15:59,213
before we come in.
449
00:15:59,213 --> 00:16:01,240
When we're doing our pre-birth planning,
450
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:02,700
we understand that these
451
00:16:02,700 --> 00:16:04,370
are learning and growing experiences.
452
00:16:04,370 --> 00:16:06,980
And again, it's something
that we can read about,
453
00:16:06,980 --> 00:16:08,800
hear about from others in spirit,
454
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,563
but until you've experienced them,
455
00:16:10,563 --> 00:16:12,840
there's theory and then there's practice.
456
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:13,883
We put them into practice here
457
00:16:13,883 --> 00:16:15,480
when we come into the physical.
458
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,800
So they only seem to be
challenges and difficulties
459
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:19,633
when we're here.
460
00:16:19,633 --> 00:16:22,092
And some people do agree
to have these experiences.
461
00:16:22,092 --> 00:16:24,658
Let's say not everyone that has cancer
462
00:16:24,658 --> 00:16:25,931
chooses to have cancer.
463
00:16:25,931 --> 00:16:28,850
But some people would come
in to have that experience.
464
00:16:28,850 --> 00:16:31,421
Perhaps they want to help
others study the disease,
465
00:16:31,421 --> 00:16:33,720
or perhaps you're my caregiver,
466
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,430
and you need the challenge
467
00:16:35,430 --> 00:16:37,201
of learning how to care for others.
468
00:16:37,201 --> 00:16:38,670
I would make that agreement
469
00:16:38,670 --> 00:16:40,734
so that you could have an
experience as well too.
470
00:16:40,734 --> 00:16:43,151
(soft music)
471
00:16:44,470 --> 00:16:46,436
- My understanding is that the personality
472
00:16:46,436 --> 00:16:49,441
has what you could call an eternal core.
473
00:16:49,441 --> 00:16:52,334
We talked earlier about soul archetypes.
474
00:16:52,334 --> 00:16:55,350
So your eternal core would be determined
475
00:16:55,350 --> 00:16:57,549
in large part by your soul archetype.
476
00:16:57,549 --> 00:17:00,880
Your core would have certain
intrinsic qualities to it.
477
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:01,713
- Right.
478
00:17:01,713 --> 00:17:02,990
- And then wrapped around that,
479
00:17:02,990 --> 00:17:05,640
each incarnation are different qualities
480
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:06,890
that are are part of the personality
481
00:17:06,890 --> 00:17:08,477
just for that incarnation.
482
00:17:08,477 --> 00:17:11,116
So your eternal core, your
eternal characteristics
483
00:17:11,116 --> 00:17:12,697
carry on across lifetimes.
484
00:17:12,697 --> 00:17:14,869
But then within each lifetime,
485
00:17:14,869 --> 00:17:18,123
each personality has certain
unique aspects to it.
486
00:17:18,123 --> 00:17:20,041
- Do you think that when we're,
487
00:17:20,041 --> 00:17:22,204
let's take into consideration
488
00:17:22,204 --> 00:17:23,831
a pre-birth plan,
489
00:17:23,831 --> 00:17:27,460
and we decide to be an abusive person.
490
00:17:27,460 --> 00:17:28,338
- Okay.
491
00:17:28,338 --> 00:17:30,190
- That to me sounds like
492
00:17:30,190 --> 00:17:32,499
something that's here on this planet.
493
00:17:32,499 --> 00:17:33,332
- Right.
- Do you think
494
00:17:33,332 --> 00:17:35,840
that we put on that
personality like a jacket?
495
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:37,181
Like I'm gonna be a jerk.
496
00:17:37,181 --> 00:17:40,380
- It would be something that
I would've agreed to come in.
497
00:17:40,380 --> 00:17:42,640
And usually those are souls
498
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,171
that have not come here to
the physical very, very often.
499
00:17:46,171 --> 00:17:49,434
They are souls that tend to
reside on the other side.
500
00:17:49,434 --> 00:17:53,143
They just don't seem to
have much life experience.
501
00:17:53,143 --> 00:17:55,220
They come in with those lower positions,
502
00:17:55,220 --> 00:17:56,221
that lower energy,
503
00:17:56,221 --> 00:17:59,760
and they would wear and assume the coat,
504
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,400
or the cloak of an abuser,
505
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:02,320
someone that's cruel,
506
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,530
or someone that's very self-destructive
507
00:18:04,530 --> 00:18:06,070
or destructive to others.
508
00:18:06,070 --> 00:18:07,580
And that is not their true self.
509
00:18:07,580 --> 00:18:08,770
That is not their higher self.
510
00:18:08,770 --> 00:18:11,589
Their higher self is
that piece of divinity.
511
00:18:11,589 --> 00:18:13,407
The duality is that their soul
512
00:18:13,407 --> 00:18:17,340
is this perfect, loving state of being,
513
00:18:17,340 --> 00:18:18,440
and here in the physical,
514
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,150
they've agreed to come in to experience
515
00:18:20,150 --> 00:18:21,860
what it is like to be an abuser.
516
00:18:21,860 --> 00:18:23,113
- So I think that plays
517
00:18:23,113 --> 00:18:25,239
directly with judgment then.
518
00:18:25,239 --> 00:18:27,347
If we see a person that's mean,
519
00:18:27,347 --> 00:18:30,120
or sarcastic, or rude,
520
00:18:30,120 --> 00:18:31,119
or something like that,
521
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,040
we automatically pass a judgment
522
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,270
that this person's rotten.
523
00:18:35,270 --> 00:18:36,119
- Some people do, but--
524
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,130
- But I mean if we know
525
00:18:38,130 --> 00:18:40,910
that it's just a, just a learning tool.
526
00:18:40,910 --> 00:18:43,260
- Absolutely, it takes away our need
527
00:18:43,260 --> 00:18:45,110
to judge that situation, or that person.
528
00:18:45,110 --> 00:18:47,380
They came in to have this experience
529
00:18:47,380 --> 00:18:50,485
of being a jerk, or being
sarcastic, or being cruel.
530
00:18:50,485 --> 00:18:52,030
They needed to learn that.
531
00:18:52,030 --> 00:18:54,520
And they might not even be
doing it for themselves.
532
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,040
They might be doing it for the people
533
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:57,020
that are in their life
534
00:18:57,020 --> 00:18:58,373
for their learning experience.
535
00:18:58,373 --> 00:19:00,005
- So they can overcome.
536
00:19:00,005 --> 00:19:01,910
- Right.
- And stand up.
537
00:19:01,910 --> 00:19:02,743
- Absolutely.
538
00:19:02,743 --> 00:19:04,610
And their soul can grow from that.
539
00:19:04,610 --> 00:19:06,533
And they can learn what
they need to learn.
540
00:19:06,533 --> 00:19:08,950
(soft music)
541
00:19:11,053 --> 00:19:11,886
- And that's just it, you know,
542
00:19:11,886 --> 00:19:13,705
coming back to the idea of judgment,
543
00:19:13,705 --> 00:19:17,019
we have all sorts of
judgments as a society
544
00:19:17,019 --> 00:19:20,233
about people who fall into
certain categories of experience.
545
00:19:20,233 --> 00:19:21,815
Homelessness,
546
00:19:21,815 --> 00:19:23,530
drug addicts,
547
00:19:23,530 --> 00:19:25,040
alcoholics,
548
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,119
again, people with certain
illnesses like AIDS,
549
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,660
we think of those people as losers.
550
00:19:29,660 --> 00:19:31,470
We say they need to
get their act together.
551
00:19:31,470 --> 00:19:33,443
They need to pull themselves
you by their bootstraps.
552
00:19:33,443 --> 00:19:35,583
And yet, what is actually happening there
553
00:19:35,583 --> 00:19:39,430
is that these are very,
very courageous souls
554
00:19:39,430 --> 00:19:41,100
who are taking on a huge challenge
555
00:19:41,100 --> 00:19:42,623
that most of us wouldn't dare to take on.
556
00:19:42,623 --> 00:19:44,350
They're doing it in part
557
00:19:44,350 --> 00:19:45,880
in service to the rest of us
558
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:47,240
so we can learn non-judgment,
559
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:48,453
unconditional love, compassion,
560
00:19:48,453 --> 00:19:51,500
and yet we have all these
terrible judgments of them
561
00:19:51,500 --> 00:19:52,991
because we don't understand
what is actually happening.
562
00:19:52,991 --> 00:19:54,745
- The service to others through suffering.
563
00:19:54,745 --> 00:19:56,309
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
564
00:19:56,309 --> 00:19:58,726
(soft music)
565
00:20:00,030 --> 00:20:01,450
I'll have to admit the idea
566
00:20:01,450 --> 00:20:02,681
that we choose suffering
567
00:20:02,681 --> 00:20:05,062
to learn and to teach others
568
00:20:05,062 --> 00:20:07,603
was difficult for me to grasp at first.
569
00:20:08,616 --> 00:20:10,090
But once I understood the idea,
570
00:20:10,090 --> 00:20:11,984
I noticed that I started to
lose my grip on judging others.
571
00:20:11,984 --> 00:20:14,401
(soft music)
572
00:20:18,930 --> 00:20:22,770
So what is it about
particularly challenges
573
00:20:22,770 --> 00:20:24,324
that is so important?
574
00:20:24,324 --> 00:20:28,794
- I think challenges expand a person,
575
00:20:28,794 --> 00:20:31,056
depending on how you respond to them,
576
00:20:31,056 --> 00:20:34,084
can lead to great expansion, great wisdom.
577
00:20:34,084 --> 00:20:36,750
As I said earlier,
578
00:20:36,750 --> 00:20:38,400
it breaks people's hearts open,
579
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,890
which sounds painful and
certainly is painful.
580
00:20:41,890 --> 00:20:42,723
- Yeah, very, yeah.
581
00:20:42,723 --> 00:20:45,880
- But that's where the
unconditional love is.
582
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,510
And once your heart is fully open,
583
00:20:47,510 --> 00:20:48,814
you're a conduit for divine love.
584
00:20:48,814 --> 00:20:50,950
You're channeling diving love
585
00:20:50,950 --> 00:20:52,534
into the physical realm.
586
00:20:52,534 --> 00:20:54,310
That's, I think, ultimately
587
00:20:54,310 --> 00:20:55,816
what the soul is aiming for.
588
00:20:55,816 --> 00:20:57,058
But to get there,
589
00:20:57,058 --> 00:20:59,875
you have to open up to divine love,
590
00:20:59,875 --> 00:21:02,104
and many souls will not do that
591
00:21:02,104 --> 00:21:05,250
until some kind of great
challenge breaks them open.
592
00:21:05,250 --> 00:21:07,780
And then they're put on a spiritual path.
593
00:21:07,780 --> 00:21:08,960
Then they want to know
594
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:09,930
why am I suffering.
595
00:21:09,930 --> 00:21:10,763
What does it mean?
596
00:21:10,763 --> 00:21:12,740
Is it meaningless, arbitrary and random?
597
00:21:12,740 --> 00:21:14,873
Or is there some deeper
purpose served by this?
598
00:21:14,873 --> 00:21:16,487
Once you're on that path,
599
00:21:16,487 --> 00:21:20,780
your intention to find
answers to those questions
600
00:21:20,780 --> 00:21:21,858
draws the answers to you.
601
00:21:21,858 --> 00:21:23,860
It creates an energetic vortex
602
00:21:23,860 --> 00:21:25,660
that pulls the answers to you.
603
00:21:25,660 --> 00:21:28,283
But people don't embark upon
that kind of path usually
604
00:21:28,283 --> 00:21:30,817
unless there's something
pushing them to do it,
605
00:21:30,817 --> 00:21:33,580
and often the thing giving them the push
606
00:21:33,580 --> 00:21:34,607
is something painful.
607
00:21:34,607 --> 00:21:36,701
- Suffering is really, unfortunately,
608
00:21:36,701 --> 00:21:38,809
one of the biggest ways that we learn.
609
00:21:38,809 --> 00:21:41,780
It's one of the really
big ways that we grow.
610
00:21:41,780 --> 00:21:43,415
If you've ever experienced
a tremendous loss,
611
00:21:43,415 --> 00:21:45,450
you go through the grieving process.
612
00:21:45,450 --> 00:21:46,580
And usually at the end of it,
613
00:21:46,580 --> 00:21:48,887
there's a transformative
process that happens to you.
614
00:21:48,887 --> 00:21:51,185
Some relationships end,
people change jobs.
615
00:21:51,185 --> 00:21:55,161
They realize their mortality
is glowing in their face.
616
00:21:55,161 --> 00:21:58,480
And we tend to make big
decisions at that time.
617
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,093
Hey, I'm not happy with the
direction of my life is going,
618
00:22:00,093 --> 00:22:01,980
or I'm very happy with this,
619
00:22:01,980 --> 00:22:04,100
and I want to do something to help others,
620
00:22:04,100 --> 00:22:05,633
or I want to do something else for myself.
621
00:22:05,633 --> 00:22:08,410
It seems to take those really moments
622
00:22:08,410 --> 00:22:10,341
when we're on our knees
and very much suffering
623
00:22:10,341 --> 00:22:12,560
for transformation to occur.
624
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:13,600
It shouldn't.
625
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:14,970
It shouldn't take those moments,
626
00:22:14,970 --> 00:22:16,810
but it does seem to occur that way.
627
00:22:16,810 --> 00:22:18,127
And when we're in spirit,
628
00:22:18,127 --> 00:22:20,130
we can't experience the suffering.
629
00:22:20,130 --> 00:22:21,850
It is a place of love and bliss.
630
00:22:21,850 --> 00:22:22,980
We can hear about it,
631
00:22:22,980 --> 00:22:26,460
but only here in this form of the physical
632
00:22:26,460 --> 00:22:27,707
can we know what that feels like.
633
00:22:27,707 --> 00:22:29,551
And we go back, when we go back
634
00:22:29,551 --> 00:22:33,052
into spirit, we share our
experience with those around us.
635
00:22:33,052 --> 00:22:34,501
- So it's hard to learn,
636
00:22:34,501 --> 00:22:38,001
suffering is a place that
we only can experience here.
637
00:22:38,001 --> 00:22:38,834
- Absolutely.
638
00:22:38,834 --> 00:22:41,111
- Of course, in the afterworld,
639
00:22:41,111 --> 00:22:41,944
there is not suffering.
640
00:22:41,944 --> 00:22:43,061
- There is no suffering there.
641
00:22:43,061 --> 00:22:44,044
- So how would you,
642
00:22:44,044 --> 00:22:47,427
how would you really be
able to put the boots on
643
00:22:47,427 --> 00:22:48,360
and be that person?
644
00:22:48,360 --> 00:22:50,390
- There's learning something in theory,
645
00:22:50,390 --> 00:22:51,851
and there's putting the clinical hours
646
00:22:51,851 --> 00:22:53,880
into actually doing the event.
647
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:54,770
I can know.
648
00:22:54,770 --> 00:22:57,427
I can know everything about
how to do a heart transplant.
649
00:22:57,427 --> 00:22:59,020
I've learned that.
650
00:22:59,020 --> 00:23:00,320
I've watched it be done.
651
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,020
But until I actually am
down there with my tools
652
00:23:03,020 --> 00:23:04,810
and having this chest open,
653
00:23:04,810 --> 00:23:06,507
I can have no idea what
that experience is like.
654
00:23:06,507 --> 00:23:09,150
That's what it is like in spirit.
655
00:23:09,150 --> 00:23:10,120
We can hear about it.
656
00:23:10,120 --> 00:23:10,953
We can learn it.
657
00:23:10,953 --> 00:23:11,786
We can see it.
658
00:23:11,786 --> 00:23:13,375
But we can't experience
it, only coming here--
659
00:23:13,375 --> 00:23:15,420
- Immersion.
- That experience.
660
00:23:15,420 --> 00:23:16,620
That's immersion.
661
00:23:16,620 --> 00:23:18,265
- Isn't there any way
around the suffering?
662
00:23:18,265 --> 00:23:20,873
- I think there is.
663
00:23:21,833 --> 00:23:22,930
I think you can learn just as much,
664
00:23:22,930 --> 00:23:24,220
and Buddha said this, I believe.
665
00:23:24,220 --> 00:23:25,600
He said you can learn just as much
666
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,545
from joyful experiences as painful ones.
667
00:23:27,545 --> 00:23:29,701
But having said that,
668
00:23:29,701 --> 00:23:33,130
painful experiences provide
a lot of opportunity
669
00:23:33,130 --> 00:23:35,074
and a lot of motivation for learning.
670
00:23:35,074 --> 00:23:37,180
And for many people,
671
00:23:37,180 --> 00:23:39,748
it accelerates the learning process.
672
00:23:39,748 --> 00:23:40,581
- [Craig] Of course it does.
673
00:23:40,581 --> 00:23:41,414
- Yeah.
674
00:23:41,414 --> 00:23:43,717
(soft music)
675
00:23:43,717 --> 00:23:45,295
- [Craig] I would like to
introduce you to Rebecca.
676
00:23:45,295 --> 00:23:48,459
Rebecca was an energetic
and physically fit woman.
677
00:23:48,459 --> 00:23:51,705
She was surprisingly
successful at an early age.
678
00:23:51,705 --> 00:23:54,117
She had beautiful homes and several cars,
679
00:23:54,117 --> 00:23:56,940
and was moving into
more financial success.
680
00:23:56,940 --> 00:23:59,747
But then at age 24, an event happened
681
00:23:59,747 --> 00:24:01,547
that changed her life forever.
682
00:24:01,547 --> 00:24:04,013
In a very short time, Rebecca was blind
683
00:24:04,013 --> 00:24:05,935
and a quadriplegic.
684
00:24:05,935 --> 00:24:08,007
This did not happen due to an accident,
685
00:24:08,007 --> 00:24:10,290
but rather something
went wrong in her body
686
00:24:10,290 --> 00:24:11,933
where her cells began to kill themselves.
687
00:24:11,933 --> 00:24:15,360
Time was running out and
they could not figure out
688
00:24:15,360 --> 00:24:17,290
what was happening to her.
689
00:24:17,290 --> 00:24:19,120
She was getting worse.
690
00:24:19,120 --> 00:24:20,945
The rate of the disease was killing here
691
00:24:20,945 --> 00:24:24,570
and she was given a week to live.
692
00:24:24,570 --> 00:24:27,190
They successfully managed
to stabilize the disease,
693
00:24:27,190 --> 00:24:29,513
and she was eventually able to go home.
694
00:24:29,513 --> 00:24:31,213
Although Rebecca was home,
695
00:24:31,213 --> 00:24:34,001
she now couldn't see or move.
696
00:24:34,001 --> 00:24:35,923
She just laid in darkness,
697
00:24:35,923 --> 00:24:37,673
bedridden.
698
00:24:37,673 --> 00:24:41,073
Was this just a random
event that happened to her,
699
00:24:41,073 --> 00:24:43,485
or take into consideration the idea
700
00:24:43,485 --> 00:24:45,780
of a pre-birth plan?
701
00:24:45,780 --> 00:24:48,690
Did Rebecca choose to
have this happen to her?
702
00:24:48,690 --> 00:24:52,429
And if so, why would she
choose something like this?
703
00:24:52,429 --> 00:24:55,149
(soft music)
704
00:24:55,149 --> 00:24:57,145
- It was two days after my 25th birthday,
705
00:24:57,145 --> 00:25:00,359
I went to go to the bathroom,
706
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:04,570
and I couldn't get myself back up.
707
00:25:04,570 --> 00:25:06,160
And I had to call for help.
708
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:07,635
And it was the last time
709
00:25:07,635 --> 00:25:11,440
that my legs actually worked normal.
710
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,773
When I went to see that doctor
about a couple days later,
711
00:25:13,773 --> 00:25:15,985
I was in a wheelchair to see him.
712
00:25:15,985 --> 00:25:18,410
And he'd see me for about five minutes
713
00:25:18,410 --> 00:25:19,380
he looked at me and said
714
00:25:19,380 --> 00:25:20,695
I think I know what's happening with you.
715
00:25:20,695 --> 00:25:22,395
I don't want you to go home.
716
00:25:22,395 --> 00:25:24,520
I want you to go straight
to the Cleveland Clinic.
717
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,400
They're gonna have a bed waiting for you.
718
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:27,840
I think what's happening is your body
719
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:28,973
is trying to kill itself.
720
00:25:28,973 --> 00:25:30,390
I think your immune system
721
00:25:30,390 --> 00:25:31,920
is trying to eat away,
722
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,360
and I think because of the vision loss,
723
00:25:34,360 --> 00:25:35,823
it's made it's way to your brain.
724
00:25:35,823 --> 00:25:37,269
And he was exactly correct.
725
00:25:37,269 --> 00:25:39,610
And so I went right from there,
726
00:25:39,610 --> 00:25:41,610
me and my mom to the Cleveland Clinic
727
00:25:41,610 --> 00:25:43,337
and I was there for 2 1/2 months.
728
00:25:43,337 --> 00:25:45,473
I got in there on a Tuesday.
729
00:25:49,970 --> 00:25:51,730
They did a grand round with me,
730
00:25:51,730 --> 00:25:54,150
which means they flew doctors
in from around the world,
731
00:25:54,150 --> 00:25:56,386
about 12 to 14 doctors
came in the following day
732
00:25:56,386 --> 00:25:58,310
to just try to save my life
733
00:25:58,310 --> 00:26:00,398
because they said my immune system was
734
00:26:00,398 --> 00:26:02,330
fighting against my body
735
00:26:02,330 --> 00:26:04,750
to try and kill me.
736
00:26:04,750 --> 00:26:06,720
And so they gave me til Friday to live
737
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,250
if they could not stop it from happening
738
00:26:09,250 --> 00:26:11,060
because it had entered my brainstem
739
00:26:11,060 --> 00:26:12,890
and had gone into my brain,
740
00:26:12,890 --> 00:26:15,540
which is why I was losing my vision.
741
00:26:15,540 --> 00:26:17,600
- Now did you and your mother have
742
00:26:18,890 --> 00:26:23,890
discussions about being
told that this is the end?
743
00:26:24,289 --> 00:26:25,427
Like what--
- Well.
744
00:26:25,427 --> 00:26:28,337
- [Craig] What was that
conversations with your mom?
745
00:26:28,337 --> 00:26:30,570
- You know, I look back and I think
746
00:26:32,630 --> 00:26:34,234
you know, sometimes it's
harder to watch people
747
00:26:34,234 --> 00:26:37,840
be sick and you know, go
through those situations
748
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,210
than actually be in those spaces.
749
00:26:39,210 --> 00:26:40,043
- Be, yeah.
- 'Cause my mom said
750
00:26:40,043 --> 00:26:41,370
I wish I could trade places with you.
751
00:26:41,370 --> 00:26:42,680
I'd trade places with you in a heartbeat.
752
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,410
And I said well I wouldn't want that
753
00:26:44,410 --> 00:26:46,700
because then I'd be looking at you,
754
00:26:46,700 --> 00:26:49,259
you know, sick and trying to figure out
755
00:26:49,259 --> 00:26:50,295
if you were gonna live or die.
756
00:26:50,295 --> 00:26:52,460
So when they brought us
the last will and testament
757
00:26:52,460 --> 00:26:53,577
to go over,
758
00:26:53,577 --> 00:26:56,061
it was just so funny, you know, being 25.
759
00:26:56,061 --> 00:26:56,894
- 25.
760
00:26:58,100 --> 00:27:00,821
- Like what am I gonna
leave in my will, you know.
761
00:27:00,821 --> 00:27:01,654
- [Craig] A car.
762
00:27:01,654 --> 00:27:02,830
- I worked really hard, you know,
763
00:27:02,830 --> 00:27:03,930
and I had some things.
764
00:27:03,930 --> 00:27:06,540
And she's like what do you
want me to do with your body?
765
00:27:06,540 --> 00:27:07,720
- Oh wow.
766
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,300
- And my best answer was like well,
767
00:27:09,300 --> 00:27:11,633
if we could find a way
where you could just
768
00:27:11,633 --> 00:27:14,761
put me outside and like
769
00:27:14,761 --> 00:27:16,260
the old ways, you know,
770
00:27:16,260 --> 00:27:17,770
just put me, leave my body there.
771
00:27:17,770 --> 00:27:19,260
Even put me to the fire,
772
00:27:19,260 --> 00:27:22,260
and maybe play some Pink
Floyd "Comfortably Numb".
773
00:27:22,260 --> 00:27:23,298
That was all my mom.
774
00:27:23,298 --> 00:27:25,570
My mom's like you know what,
775
00:27:25,570 --> 00:27:26,670
we're not gonna do this right now.
776
00:27:26,670 --> 00:27:28,670
And Thursday, I just ended
up having this dream.
777
00:27:28,670 --> 00:27:31,285
You know, I had a dream
about this big bear.
778
00:27:31,285 --> 00:27:34,428
And I was walking with this bear,
779
00:27:34,428 --> 00:27:35,420
and I was just petting this bear.
780
00:27:35,420 --> 00:27:37,324
And we were walking down this
path that had already been,
781
00:27:37,324 --> 00:27:41,650
it had already been created
for me to walk down.
782
00:27:41,650 --> 00:27:42,790
And I told this bear,
783
00:27:42,790 --> 00:27:43,623
I said you know,
784
00:27:43,623 --> 00:27:44,530
they say I'm gonna die.
785
00:27:44,530 --> 00:27:46,290
And this bear says you're not gonna die.
786
00:27:46,290 --> 00:27:47,560
And I said are you sure?
787
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,081
- Now did it feel like a dream?
788
00:27:49,081 --> 00:27:50,087
Or this feel sort of real?
789
00:27:50,087 --> 00:27:51,414
- It felt like a dream,
but it felt so real,
790
00:27:51,414 --> 00:27:54,612
especially when I could
see myself in the dream.
791
00:27:54,612 --> 00:27:58,150
It just felt so real.
792
00:27:58,150 --> 00:27:59,490
Even me walking with this bear
793
00:27:59,490 --> 00:28:00,620
and me touching this bear,
794
00:28:00,620 --> 00:28:02,382
I could almost like feel
the sensation of the, yeah--
795
00:28:02,382 --> 00:28:03,320
- Thick.
796
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:04,300
- [Rebecca] It was amazing.
797
00:28:04,300 --> 00:28:05,270
- The air, the breeze, the sun--
798
00:28:05,270 --> 00:28:06,560
- Everything, all of it, the sun.
799
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,610
It was just, it was so real.
800
00:28:08,610 --> 00:28:11,000
And he said I said you're not gonna die.
801
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,785
- Do you think you were having
an out of body experience?
802
00:28:12,785 --> 00:28:13,941
- I think I was.
803
00:28:13,941 --> 00:28:15,330
And I couldn't believe it.
804
00:28:15,330 --> 00:28:17,400
It was my confirmation of saying
805
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:18,713
I'm not gonna die.
806
00:28:19,599 --> 00:28:21,660
And they came in about an hour later
807
00:28:21,660 --> 00:28:22,530
and checked my vitals,
808
00:28:22,530 --> 00:28:24,343
and all my vitals had shifted around.
809
00:28:24,343 --> 00:28:27,860
And so whatever it was in that moment,
810
00:28:27,860 --> 00:28:29,495
it just kinda gave me--
811
00:28:29,495 --> 00:28:30,780
- A little boost.
- That fire, yeah,
812
00:28:30,780 --> 00:28:33,569
of belief again and saying okay.
813
00:28:33,569 --> 00:28:35,520
You're telling me I'm not going anywhere.
814
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:36,864
I'm just gonna trust in that.
815
00:28:36,864 --> 00:28:39,610
And it was amazing.
816
00:28:39,610 --> 00:28:40,738
- You were in the corporate world.
817
00:28:40,738 --> 00:28:42,200
Okay.
818
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,655
And then this experience, this
profound experience happens.
819
00:28:45,655 --> 00:28:48,760
Three years later, you're--
820
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,360
- Well, I wouldn't say three years later
821
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:51,193
I was back to normal.
822
00:28:51,193 --> 00:28:52,820
I was still laying in a bed.
823
00:28:52,820 --> 00:28:54,903
My movement would start, you know,
824
00:28:56,054 --> 00:28:56,887
I would be sat up every day.
825
00:28:56,887 --> 00:28:59,483
And I'd still have to be cared for.
826
00:29:02,024 --> 00:29:05,710
But my, my movement was still limited.
827
00:29:05,710 --> 00:29:09,050
- So it forced you to really look within.
828
00:29:09,050 --> 00:29:10,130
- Yeah.
829
00:29:10,130 --> 00:29:11,610
I mean I could not really get myself
830
00:29:11,610 --> 00:29:13,170
into my wheelchair by myself.
831
00:29:13,170 --> 00:29:14,520
I still needed assistance.
832
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:15,910
I couldn't get out of my bed.
833
00:29:15,910 --> 00:29:19,020
And so one day a friend
of mine came and said
834
00:29:19,020 --> 00:29:21,182
hey, I gave your information
to a friend of mine.
835
00:29:21,182 --> 00:29:25,240
And he said he wants to work with you,
836
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,120
that you're gonna be his next student.
837
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:28,747
And I said really.
838
00:29:28,747 --> 00:29:30,652
And he said yeah, he's amazing.
839
00:29:30,652 --> 00:29:32,760
I'm not gonna tell you anything about him.
840
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:33,930
- He said you're gonna be--
841
00:29:33,930 --> 00:29:35,394
- I'm gonna be his next student.
842
00:29:35,394 --> 00:29:37,315
And I didn't really know what that meant.
843
00:29:37,315 --> 00:29:39,999
And my friend said he's amazing.
844
00:29:39,999 --> 00:29:42,250
He doesn't just go and work with anybody.
845
00:29:42,250 --> 00:29:45,390
He waits until he gets a
sign to work with people.
846
00:29:45,390 --> 00:29:46,223
- Okay.
847
00:29:46,223 --> 00:29:48,100
- He came over two days later.
848
00:29:48,100 --> 00:29:49,960
And at this time, I
did not have my vision.
849
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:51,986
I had friends over, and family was there.
850
00:29:51,986 --> 00:29:55,050
And this man comes in my house,
851
00:29:55,050 --> 00:29:57,118
and I could feel his
energy walk into my home.
852
00:29:57,118 --> 00:29:58,700
I could feel him.
853
00:29:58,700 --> 00:30:01,030
And I knew as soon as
he entered into my room
854
00:30:01,030 --> 00:30:04,734
that something was taking place already,
855
00:30:04,734 --> 00:30:06,656
and that something was
about to take place.
856
00:30:06,656 --> 00:30:09,138
And he sat down in front of me,
857
00:30:09,138 --> 00:30:13,350
and he put his hands over my eyes.
858
00:30:13,350 --> 00:30:14,720
And he said don't open your eyes.
859
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,230
You're gonna see white flashes of light.
860
00:30:16,230 --> 00:30:18,420
Don't open them until I tell you to.
861
00:30:18,420 --> 00:30:20,510
And within about four or five minutes,
862
00:30:20,510 --> 00:30:22,520
he was done.
863
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:23,353
He finished.
864
00:30:23,353 --> 00:30:25,374
I could feel the heat and that
energy coming off his hands.
865
00:30:25,374 --> 00:30:27,560
I could see those white flashes of light
866
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,826
that were so bright in my eyes.
867
00:30:29,826 --> 00:30:31,934
And he took his hands away from me
868
00:30:31,934 --> 00:30:34,314
and he told me to open up my eyes.
869
00:30:34,314 --> 00:30:38,160
And ever since that time when he did that,
870
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,620
to this day, I've had
better than 20/20 vision.
871
00:30:40,620 --> 00:30:41,850
My eyes have been amazing,
872
00:30:41,850 --> 00:30:43,373
and I got my sight back.
873
00:30:43,373 --> 00:30:47,134
And this man bowed in front of me,
874
00:30:47,134 --> 00:30:50,190
and he said I'm going to be your teacher
875
00:30:50,190 --> 00:30:52,640
until spirit says otherwise,
876
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:53,710
if you'll have me.
877
00:30:53,710 --> 00:30:56,210
I would just stare at
certain parts of my body
878
00:30:56,210 --> 00:30:57,700
and just connect with them,
879
00:30:57,700 --> 00:31:00,960
my hands, I'd be like
just almost asking them
880
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:02,290
to please move, you know,
881
00:31:02,290 --> 00:31:03,910
my thumbs, please move, move.
882
00:31:03,910 --> 00:31:05,112
Let me just see some movement.
883
00:31:05,112 --> 00:31:05,945
- So you would sit there--
- My feet,
884
00:31:05,945 --> 00:31:07,870
and just concentrate.
- Will that thumb
885
00:31:07,870 --> 00:31:09,246
to start to--
886
00:31:09,246 --> 00:31:10,079
- Yes.
887
00:31:10,079 --> 00:31:11,020
And one day my thumb moved.
888
00:31:11,020 --> 00:31:11,853
- [Craig] You connected?
889
00:31:11,853 --> 00:31:12,686
- Yep.
890
00:31:12,686 --> 00:31:13,860
- Sometimes you just need to be able
891
00:31:13,860 --> 00:31:18,540
to have enough guts to
begin placing the pieces in
892
00:31:18,540 --> 00:31:21,313
together and seeing the bigger picture.
893
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:23,440
Then it's powerful.
894
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:24,716
Then it's empowering.
895
00:31:24,716 --> 00:31:27,334
And you move from the
frustration and anger
896
00:31:27,334 --> 00:31:31,142
to possibly empathy,
understanding yourself,
897
00:31:31,142 --> 00:31:32,877
empathy of life experiences
898
00:31:32,877 --> 00:31:35,816
and what it can do to you or for you,
899
00:31:35,816 --> 00:31:38,720
and the ability, the awareness
900
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,834
to see other people with that empathy,
901
00:31:40,834 --> 00:31:42,720
to have compassion
902
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:46,080
and to be able to, as
she said, listen to them.
903
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:46,913
- He'd be listening,
904
00:31:46,913 --> 00:31:50,260
it's just so amazing the
things that we do not hear
905
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,060
when our eyes are open
906
00:31:53,060 --> 00:31:54,490
and our ears are open
907
00:31:54,490 --> 00:31:57,075
and our hearts are open, we hear.
908
00:31:57,075 --> 00:32:00,110
But to really listen to
what's going on around you
909
00:32:00,110 --> 00:32:03,028
when your eyes are closed
and everything's in shadow,
910
00:32:03,028 --> 00:32:06,720
and you're just laying there listening.
911
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:11,590
It's definitely different
than when your eyes are open
912
00:32:11,590 --> 00:32:13,842
and all senses are peaked.
913
00:32:13,842 --> 00:32:16,270
- So it sounds like at this point in time,
914
00:32:16,270 --> 00:32:19,597
this man that came to you was a healer.
915
00:32:19,597 --> 00:32:21,020
- Amazing.
916
00:32:21,020 --> 00:32:22,550
He did things that were amazing
917
00:32:22,550 --> 00:32:24,607
that not only my eyes and heart witnessed,
918
00:32:24,607 --> 00:32:27,240
there were many that
witnessed what he did.
919
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:28,600
- So there were other people in the room?
920
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:29,620
- It was amazing.
921
00:32:29,620 --> 00:32:30,540
It was amazing.
922
00:32:30,540 --> 00:32:32,803
And I mean it was very emotional.
923
00:32:32,803 --> 00:32:35,670
And my eyes were restored ever since.
924
00:32:35,670 --> 00:32:37,408
And he would then come over
925
00:32:37,408 --> 00:32:40,190
and he said I don't want
you to give me anything.
926
00:32:40,190 --> 00:32:41,023
I don't want any money.
927
00:32:41,023 --> 00:32:41,856
I don't want nothing.
928
00:32:41,856 --> 00:32:42,689
I just want you to do
929
00:32:42,689 --> 00:32:44,500
everything that I'm
going to guide you to do.
930
00:32:44,500 --> 00:32:47,600
And when someone does
something like that for you,
931
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,190
and brings your vision,
I'm just like I'm in.
932
00:32:49,190 --> 00:32:51,837
You tell me whatever, I'm gonna do,
933
00:32:51,837 --> 00:32:54,140
and he said as long as
it feels good to you.
934
00:32:54,140 --> 00:32:55,630
- Sure.
- And I want you to do it,
935
00:32:55,630 --> 00:32:57,490
but if you just go through the steps
936
00:32:57,490 --> 00:32:58,656
no matter how hard,
937
00:32:58,656 --> 00:33:00,720
you know you and I are gonna handle this
938
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:01,880
and tackle it together.
939
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,158
And you're going to heal, Rebecca,
940
00:33:04,158 --> 00:33:06,840
out of necessity because these are things
941
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:08,233
that you are going to go on to do.
942
00:33:08,233 --> 00:33:10,980
And at that time, coming
from a corporate world--
943
00:33:10,980 --> 00:33:11,862
- Go on to do?
944
00:33:11,862 --> 00:33:13,272
- Healing work.
945
00:33:13,272 --> 00:33:14,620
- Okay.
946
00:33:14,620 --> 00:33:16,000
So he was getting you back to--
947
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,080
- To center.
- To healthy?
948
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:18,913
- Yeah.
949
00:33:18,913 --> 00:33:20,950
- And then he was going to
950
00:33:20,950 --> 00:33:23,637
also start teaching you
on how to do what he does.
951
00:33:23,637 --> 00:33:25,570
- Well he said that I would find my ways,
952
00:33:25,570 --> 00:33:26,960
but he taught me so many things
953
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,460
that were just so advanced
954
00:33:29,460 --> 00:33:31,770
for someone who knew
nothing of his teachings.
955
00:33:31,770 --> 00:33:33,780
I mean he was a master
of so many different arts
956
00:33:33,780 --> 00:33:35,351
and their culture of the asian world
957
00:33:35,351 --> 00:33:39,710
that I couldn't even
grasp some of the things
958
00:33:39,710 --> 00:33:41,613
that he would be speaking
and telling me about.
959
00:33:41,613 --> 00:33:43,519
I was grasping it at some level.
960
00:33:43,519 --> 00:33:46,850
And the protocol, but the openness also.
961
00:33:46,850 --> 00:33:49,239
It was just so very powerful
962
00:33:49,239 --> 00:33:51,295
that for me to thy to think that
963
00:33:51,295 --> 00:33:54,180
after his teachings of so many years
964
00:33:54,180 --> 00:33:55,940
to become a master of all these arts,
965
00:33:55,940 --> 00:33:57,051
that I was gonna grasp this
966
00:33:57,051 --> 00:34:00,010
within a few hours or a few days
967
00:34:00,010 --> 00:34:01,835
because something of how
he explained it to me.
968
00:34:01,835 --> 00:34:05,095
I mean I respect the service and the work
969
00:34:05,095 --> 00:34:06,256
a little bit more than that,
970
00:34:06,256 --> 00:34:08,440
the ancient arts of their teachings--
971
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:09,620
- Did he ever tell you why
972
00:34:09,620 --> 00:34:10,890
you were summoned?
973
00:34:10,890 --> 00:34:12,938
How did it come?
974
00:34:12,938 --> 00:34:16,280
Did you guys ever have a
conversation about well why me?
975
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:17,920
Why, out of the blue,
976
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:18,979
you just picked me.
977
00:34:18,979 --> 00:34:21,000
- You know, we did.
978
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:22,860
I had conversations a lot about that
979
00:34:22,860 --> 00:34:27,860
because you know, I couldn't
find myself in a poor me space.
980
00:34:28,220 --> 00:34:29,945
I've always been a very
positive person, thank goodness.
981
00:34:29,945 --> 00:34:30,778
- Yeah.
982
00:34:31,743 --> 00:34:33,587
- But we did talk about that.
983
00:34:33,587 --> 00:34:35,870
And he said you know, there's people that
984
00:34:35,870 --> 00:34:37,390
are chosen for certain things,
985
00:34:37,390 --> 00:34:40,249
you know, that the weave
and the web of life
986
00:34:40,249 --> 00:34:41,985
is a huge network.
987
00:34:41,985 --> 00:34:45,738
And we're all a part of it in our way.
988
00:34:45,738 --> 00:34:49,140
And you know, I remember him saying to me
989
00:34:49,140 --> 00:34:51,335
there are billions of people in the world.
990
00:34:51,335 --> 00:34:53,840
And we all have our little fingerprint,
991
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,835
which means we all have our
imprint, you know, to offer
992
00:34:56,835 --> 00:35:00,350
our service and our medicine here.
993
00:35:00,350 --> 00:35:03,450
And you're gonna go on
and do it in your way.
994
00:35:03,450 --> 00:35:05,170
We can learn the same medicine
995
00:35:05,170 --> 00:35:07,157
and you would offer it
differently than I would.
996
00:35:07,157 --> 00:35:09,574
(soft music)
997
00:35:11,576 --> 00:35:13,312
- When I talk in my books about
learning through opposites,
998
00:35:13,312 --> 00:35:15,760
I'm referring to the soul.
999
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,952
The soul learns best through
the experience of opposites.
1000
00:35:18,952 --> 00:35:21,340
A very common life plan, for example,
1001
00:35:21,340 --> 00:35:24,699
a soul wants to deepen in compassion
1002
00:35:24,699 --> 00:35:26,489
in the upcoming incarnation.
1003
00:35:26,489 --> 00:35:30,550
That soul will often plan
to incarnate into a family
1004
00:35:30,550 --> 00:35:31,700
which they're going to be treated
1005
00:35:31,700 --> 00:35:33,619
with a profound lack of compassion.
1006
00:35:33,619 --> 00:35:36,690
The reason for that is that
the absence of compassion
1007
00:35:36,690 --> 00:35:38,145
in the external environment
1008
00:35:38,145 --> 00:35:41,120
is intended to provide
both the opportunity
1009
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:42,600
and the motivation
1010
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,667
to go within and
cultivate self compassion,
1011
00:35:44,667 --> 00:35:47,040
and then invariably the life plan
1012
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:48,660
calls sometime down the road
1013
00:35:48,660 --> 00:35:50,140
for them to take the self compassion
1014
00:35:50,140 --> 00:35:53,480
and turn it outward in service to others.
1015
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,294
- We don't know how to be happy
1016
00:35:56,294 --> 00:35:59,010
if we don't experience sad.
1017
00:35:59,010 --> 00:35:59,843
- [Isabella] Right.
1018
00:35:59,843 --> 00:36:00,676
- Or--
1019
00:36:00,676 --> 00:36:03,920
- We would really, I would
never really know what joy is
1020
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,590
unless I've experienced
heartbreak and devastation.
1021
00:36:07,590 --> 00:36:08,423
- Right.
1022
00:36:08,423 --> 00:36:09,990
- I could never really
appreciate those moments of joy.
1023
00:36:09,990 --> 00:36:12,945
And we never really reflect
on those moments of joy
1024
00:36:12,945 --> 00:36:15,211
as when we're in those
moments of suffering.
1025
00:36:15,211 --> 00:36:18,170
We look back on all of the
wonderful, beautiful memories
1026
00:36:18,170 --> 00:36:20,493
of people, places and things
that we've experienced
1027
00:36:20,493 --> 00:36:23,068
when we're either in deep suffering,
1028
00:36:23,068 --> 00:36:25,330
and then we can appreciate
the joyful moments.
1029
00:36:25,330 --> 00:36:27,200
And then when they began to show up again,
1030
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,230
we have an appreciation
for them once again.
1031
00:36:29,230 --> 00:36:32,335
And they are much more
meaningful at that point.
1032
00:36:32,335 --> 00:36:34,104
- The concept of duality,
1033
00:36:34,104 --> 00:36:36,241
it's not exactly contrast, but--
1034
00:36:36,241 --> 00:36:41,241
- It's contrast in the form
of polar opposites very often.
1035
00:36:42,210 --> 00:36:43,880
So you have up/down, left/right,
1036
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:45,219
good/bad, black and white.
1037
00:36:45,219 --> 00:36:48,710
It comes back to the
analogy of the white room.
1038
00:36:48,710 --> 00:36:49,957
- Yes.
- We talked about it earlier.
1039
00:36:49,957 --> 00:36:51,056
- Yes it does.
1040
00:36:51,056 --> 00:36:53,010
- You know, if you are a
white being in a white room
1041
00:36:53,010 --> 00:36:54,467
and that's all you ever experience,
1042
00:36:54,467 --> 00:36:57,010
you can't really understand
1043
00:36:57,010 --> 00:36:59,600
what it means to be the
white being in a white room.
1044
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,490
But if you come into
this room with duality
1045
00:37:01,490 --> 00:37:02,981
where there's something other than white,
1046
00:37:02,981 --> 00:37:04,514
then you really learn
1047
00:37:04,514 --> 00:37:06,713
what it means to be the white
being in the white room.
1048
00:37:06,713 --> 00:37:11,260
- So I think that if I experience sorrow,
1049
00:37:11,260 --> 00:37:13,100
it's not necessarily bad.
1050
00:37:13,100 --> 00:37:16,000
It's not necessarily, or pity on myself,
1051
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,710
or you know, 'cause I know when
we get into the life review,
1052
00:37:18,710 --> 00:37:19,543
they're like well why did you
1053
00:37:19,543 --> 00:37:20,746
spend so much time pitying yourself?
1054
00:37:20,746 --> 00:37:25,746
Well I think it teaches
us the duality of joy.
1055
00:37:25,751 --> 00:37:27,980
- Everything we experience here
1056
00:37:27,980 --> 00:37:29,910
is a developmental stage.
1057
00:37:29,910 --> 00:37:31,400
It's a step in learning.
1058
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,060
And this is why the quote
unquote higher beings
1059
00:37:34,060 --> 00:37:35,018
on the other side
1060
00:37:35,018 --> 00:37:36,400
have no judgment.
1061
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,647
They never say that something
is good or something is bad.
1062
00:37:38,647 --> 00:37:41,160
It's just viewed as another step
1063
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:42,642
in the evolutionary process.
1064
00:37:42,642 --> 00:37:45,059
(soft music)
1065
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:49,770
- When you're faced a challenge,
1066
00:37:49,770 --> 00:37:50,960
like an addiction,
1067
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:52,870
and you just, you hit this point.
1068
00:37:52,870 --> 00:37:55,020
- I think that is what's happening there.
1069
00:37:55,020 --> 00:37:57,739
I think that's the most
intense and extreme version
1070
00:37:57,739 --> 00:37:59,909
of having one's heart broken open.
1071
00:37:59,909 --> 00:38:02,340
The way you phrased the question,
1072
00:38:02,340 --> 00:38:04,440
it makes me think of the gentleman
1073
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:05,861
in my first book, "Your Soul's Plan",
1074
00:38:05,861 --> 00:38:09,614
who is the subject of the
chapter on alcoholism.
1075
00:38:09,614 --> 00:38:13,410
And he talks about an
extended period of his life
1076
00:38:13,410 --> 00:38:16,370
in which he was abusing alcohol.
1077
00:38:16,370 --> 00:38:18,140
And then one day, literally,
1078
00:38:18,140 --> 00:38:19,660
fell to his knees
1079
00:38:19,660 --> 00:38:21,005
while he was alone in his own home
1080
00:38:21,005 --> 00:38:22,660
and called out to God
1081
00:38:22,660 --> 00:38:24,670
and said I just can't take it anymore.
1082
00:38:24,670 --> 00:38:25,503
Help me.
1083
00:38:25,503 --> 00:38:27,966
And from that moment, his life changed.
1084
00:38:27,966 --> 00:38:31,250
But he hit rock bottom in that moment.
1085
00:38:31,250 --> 00:38:34,510
And that's what it took for him to open up
1086
00:38:34,510 --> 00:38:36,070
to the divine.
1087
00:38:36,070 --> 00:38:37,390
- I think addiction, there's two things
1088
00:38:37,390 --> 00:38:40,450
that I've been shown why
addiction might be a problem.
1089
00:38:40,450 --> 00:38:41,690
Usually, and the biggest one is
1090
00:38:41,690 --> 00:38:43,350
that it's something that we've agreed to
1091
00:38:43,350 --> 00:38:44,732
to come in and experience that.
1092
00:38:44,732 --> 00:38:46,420
It might be for ourselves.
1093
00:38:46,420 --> 00:38:48,300
It might certainly be for
someone in our family.
1094
00:38:48,300 --> 00:38:49,629
It might be to further research.
1095
00:38:49,629 --> 00:38:51,509
The other thing that occasionally,
1096
00:38:51,509 --> 00:38:53,493
very occasionally, does happen
1097
00:38:53,493 --> 00:38:57,280
is that we've chosen way too much
1098
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:58,990
in our pre-birth life, really.
1099
00:38:58,990 --> 00:39:00,454
And we don't always--
1100
00:39:00,454 --> 00:39:01,370
- You took a big course load.
1101
00:39:01,370 --> 00:39:02,203
- We did.
1102
00:39:02,203 --> 00:39:03,860
And we don't always have to,
1103
00:39:03,860 --> 00:39:05,600
again, this is where
free will comes in again.
1104
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:07,360
We didn't listen over there.
1105
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,330
Perhaps we were advised,
hey, maybe not have
1106
00:39:09,330 --> 00:39:10,886
six or seven things that
you wanted to learn.
1107
00:39:10,886 --> 00:39:12,250
Maybe have two or three.
1108
00:39:12,250 --> 00:39:13,317
We didn't listen.
1109
00:39:13,317 --> 00:39:16,090
So we would come in and
find that alcohol, drugs,
1110
00:39:16,090 --> 00:39:19,250
some of these things might
help us cope and deal
1111
00:39:19,250 --> 00:39:20,752
with those.
1112
00:39:20,752 --> 00:39:21,591
- A lot of ambition.
1113
00:39:21,591 --> 00:39:25,180
- I think when we talk about life plans
1114
00:39:25,180 --> 00:39:27,171
and planning certain
experiences before birth,
1115
00:39:27,171 --> 00:39:29,820
we have to define what we mean by plan.
1116
00:39:29,820 --> 00:39:33,230
It does not mean that
there's only a plan A.
1117
00:39:33,230 --> 00:39:34,140
There is.
1118
00:39:34,140 --> 00:39:36,810
But there's also a plan B, C, D, E, F
1119
00:39:36,810 --> 00:39:38,090
and on and on and on.
1120
00:39:38,090 --> 00:39:40,360
So many quote unquote backup plans
1121
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,090
that it's really beyond
human comprehension.
1122
00:39:43,090 --> 00:39:45,010
Your soul knows that you have free will.
1123
00:39:45,010 --> 00:39:46,329
Your soul wants you to have free will
1124
00:39:46,329 --> 00:39:48,840
because it's your free will of choices
1125
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:50,330
that really bring about
1126
00:39:50,330 --> 00:39:51,830
the growth and learning.
1127
00:39:51,830 --> 00:39:54,294
So the pre-birth plan is like a framework,
1128
00:39:54,294 --> 00:39:57,600
and within it there are
many, many sub plans
1129
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:58,890
or backup plans.
1130
00:39:58,890 --> 00:40:00,860
You can't go outside the framework.
1131
00:40:00,860 --> 00:40:01,965
You can't do something
1132
00:40:01,965 --> 00:40:05,180
that is not within the
scope of possibility
1133
00:40:05,180 --> 00:40:06,480
for that lifetime,
1134
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:07,650
but within that lifetime,
1135
00:40:07,650 --> 00:40:09,976
you can stay on plan A, the
highest vibrational plan,
1136
00:40:09,976 --> 00:40:13,415
or go to B, C, D, E, and F, and so on.
1137
00:40:13,415 --> 00:40:16,110
Very few people are
going to stay on plan A
1138
00:40:16,110 --> 00:40:17,131
for their whole lifetime.
1139
00:40:17,131 --> 00:40:19,120
And that's not a bad thing
1140
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:20,545
because if you make mistakes,
1141
00:40:20,545 --> 00:40:22,822
that's how you grow.
1142
00:40:22,822 --> 00:40:25,769
And your growth is your
service to to world.
1143
00:40:25,769 --> 00:40:27,505
That's how you raise your vibration.
1144
00:40:27,505 --> 00:40:30,713
So you have some sense
before you were born,
1145
00:40:30,713 --> 00:40:32,155
and your guides do as well,
1146
00:40:32,155 --> 00:40:37,155
that this particular path
is highly probable for you.
1147
00:40:37,180 --> 00:40:38,500
Whether or not it actualizes
1148
00:40:38,500 --> 00:40:39,996
depends again on your free will decisions.
1149
00:40:39,996 --> 00:40:42,940
But given everything we
know about who you are
1150
00:40:42,940 --> 00:40:44,572
and what your intentions
are for this lifetime,
1151
00:40:44,572 --> 00:40:47,159
we think this is the path
that is most probable.
1152
00:40:47,159 --> 00:40:50,536
So you're being shown a future scenario
1153
00:40:50,536 --> 00:40:52,508
of high likelihood.
1154
00:40:52,508 --> 00:40:54,770
But it isn't guaranteed to happen.
1155
00:40:54,770 --> 00:40:56,860
Again, that depends on
your free will decisions.
1156
00:40:56,860 --> 00:40:59,160
Now there are some things that
are planned as certainties.
1157
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,304
For example, let's say
that you plan to have
1158
00:41:02,304 --> 00:41:04,410
a particular physical handicap
1159
00:41:04,410 --> 00:41:05,820
that can't be treated by medical science
1160
00:41:05,820 --> 00:41:08,790
in whatever period you're incarnating in.
1161
00:41:08,790 --> 00:41:10,364
And you would know that
before coming in a body.
1162
00:41:10,364 --> 00:41:12,625
Then short of a miracle,
1163
00:41:12,625 --> 00:41:13,972
what we call a miracle,
1164
00:41:13,972 --> 00:41:16,175
you're going to have
that physical handicap
1165
00:41:16,175 --> 00:41:17,787
for that lifetime.
1166
00:41:17,787 --> 00:41:20,330
Or your choice of
parents, once you're born,
1167
00:41:20,330 --> 00:41:22,217
you can't undo that choice.
1168
00:41:22,217 --> 00:41:25,260
So those kinds of things
are planned in certainty.
1169
00:41:25,260 --> 00:41:27,460
But that's a small
minority of the planning.
1170
00:41:27,460 --> 00:41:30,330
Most of the planning is
possibility, probability,
1171
00:41:30,330 --> 00:41:31,565
and high probability.
1172
00:41:31,565 --> 00:41:33,982
(soft music)
1173
00:41:46,462 --> 00:41:48,090
- Are the people that are
involved in our lives,
1174
00:41:48,090 --> 00:41:49,710
are they all there?
1175
00:41:49,710 --> 00:41:51,360
Our mother, father, children,
1176
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,290
grandparents, are they
all there at the meeting?
1177
00:41:54,290 --> 00:41:55,123
- Absolutely.
1178
00:41:55,123 --> 00:41:55,975
- 'Cause I'm trying,
1179
00:41:55,975 --> 00:41:57,810
I'm trying to get an idea
of when does it take place.
1180
00:41:57,810 --> 00:41:58,961
It must take place
1181
00:41:58,961 --> 00:42:01,130
prior to my parents being born.
1182
00:42:01,130 --> 00:42:02,400
- Absolutely, it does.
1183
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,620
Like I said, there seems
to be a very large gap
1184
00:42:05,620 --> 00:42:08,140
between rebirth when someone would come in
1185
00:42:08,140 --> 00:42:10,250
and when someone would transition.
1186
00:42:10,250 --> 00:42:11,083
There seems to be a time where
1187
00:42:11,083 --> 00:42:14,330
we're all, the soul group
would all have a time
1188
00:42:14,330 --> 00:42:15,560
to communicate together.
1189
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:17,390
We would innately remember--
- Sure.
1190
00:42:17,390 --> 00:42:19,000
- As soon as we're on the other side
1191
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:20,723
what we were supposed to do here, perhaps.
1192
00:42:20,723 --> 00:42:21,933
And because we're so benevolent,
1193
00:42:21,933 --> 00:42:24,920
because we're so altruistic over there,
1194
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,267
sure I'll come in and help
you deal with your alcoholism.
1195
00:42:27,267 --> 00:42:29,280
Of course I'll deal with abuse
1196
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:30,909
if it helps you, we just,
1197
00:42:30,909 --> 00:42:33,852
we make these agreements
because we do understand there
1198
00:42:33,852 --> 00:42:37,030
how temporary this physical
form is, this life,
1199
00:42:37,030 --> 00:42:39,783
and that we do get to go right back home.
1200
00:42:40,734 --> 00:42:43,410
So every significant
relationship that we're in,
1201
00:42:43,410 --> 00:42:46,220
we absolutely have an
agreement with them to come in.
1202
00:42:46,220 --> 00:42:47,504
I would have agreed to my children.
1203
00:42:47,504 --> 00:42:48,963
You would've agreed to your parents.
1204
00:42:48,963 --> 00:42:51,302
We all make these agreements to come in,
1205
00:42:51,302 --> 00:42:52,770
learn from each other,
1206
00:42:52,770 --> 00:42:53,935
have these experiences together,
1207
00:42:53,935 --> 00:42:55,740
and then go right back home.
1208
00:42:55,740 --> 00:42:57,424
- So I would think that the life plan,
1209
00:42:57,424 --> 00:43:02,030
you know, would take a
great deal of planning
1210
00:43:02,030 --> 00:43:04,280
and a lot of discussion.
1211
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:05,608
Do you agree with that?
1212
00:43:05,608 --> 00:43:06,441
- I absolutely agree.
1213
00:43:06,441 --> 00:43:07,350
From what I've been shown,
1214
00:43:07,350 --> 00:43:09,654
it takes a significant amount of time.
1215
00:43:09,654 --> 00:43:12,428
I think that if we do
decide to reincarnate,
1216
00:43:12,428 --> 00:43:14,683
from what I understand,
1217
00:43:14,683 --> 00:43:16,880
it's usually about 50 to 75 years
1218
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:17,713
before we come back.
1219
00:43:17,713 --> 00:43:19,210
Some people take a little bit longer.
1220
00:43:19,210 --> 00:43:21,200
Some people come back
a little bit quicker.
1221
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,774
But we are guided and directed
during that entire time
1222
00:43:23,774 --> 00:43:25,580
of what we should be doing
1223
00:43:25,580 --> 00:43:27,770
when our soul decides
to learn what we need,
1224
00:43:27,770 --> 00:43:29,890
maybe perhaps to balance out in our life.
1225
00:43:29,890 --> 00:43:31,221
Let's say we were
1226
00:43:31,221 --> 00:43:34,820
someone that was very cruel
to others our last lifetime.
1227
00:43:34,820 --> 00:43:36,285
We might come in this lifetime
1228
00:43:36,285 --> 00:43:40,520
and just agree to have
someone be cruel to us.
1229
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:41,990
There always seems to be a balance,
1230
00:43:41,990 --> 00:43:43,675
a yin and a yang of every experience.
1231
00:43:43,675 --> 00:43:45,920
- Does that have something
to do with karma?
1232
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:47,410
- I believe that it does a little bit,
1233
00:43:47,410 --> 00:43:49,700
but that karma relays a little bit
1234
00:43:49,700 --> 00:43:51,103
of a punishment for something.
1235
00:43:51,103 --> 00:43:52,590
- The connotations of karma.
1236
00:43:52,590 --> 00:43:53,596
- The connotation of a punishment,
1237
00:43:53,596 --> 00:43:56,100
and that's not what spirit is like at all.
1238
00:43:56,100 --> 00:43:57,370
It's a loving experience.
1239
00:43:57,370 --> 00:43:58,460
There is no judgment.
1240
00:43:58,460 --> 00:43:59,923
Humans have judgment.
1241
00:43:59,923 --> 00:44:02,329
When we're in spirit,
judgment simply doesn't exist.
1242
00:44:02,329 --> 00:44:05,970
So our soul has an understanding
when we're in spirit
1243
00:44:05,970 --> 00:44:07,717
of what we could have done better,
1244
00:44:07,717 --> 00:44:10,681
how our actions and behaviors
affected those around us.
1245
00:44:10,681 --> 00:44:13,533
And of course we'd want
to make that right.
1246
00:44:13,533 --> 00:44:15,952
- I think there is a tremendous
amount of discussion,
1247
00:44:15,952 --> 00:44:19,810
but I think it all happens in
what would just be considered
1248
00:44:19,810 --> 00:44:21,390
a moment of linear time.
1249
00:44:21,390 --> 00:44:23,697
Again, that time difference
between the physical
1250
00:44:23,697 --> 00:44:25,300
and the non-physical.
1251
00:44:25,300 --> 00:44:27,556
But taking that out of the
picture for the moment,
1252
00:44:27,556 --> 00:44:29,690
what happens as I understand it,
1253
00:44:29,690 --> 00:44:32,610
is that the life plan
is created by the soul
1254
00:44:32,610 --> 00:44:34,533
in conjunction with the spirit guides,
1255
00:44:34,533 --> 00:44:38,360
other enlightened beings
who are coming in to help,
1256
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:40,120
and also God.
1257
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:42,205
And once the life plan is put into place,
1258
00:44:42,205 --> 00:44:46,293
then the guides share the life
plan with the personality,
1259
00:44:46,293 --> 00:44:49,410
again, a portion of the soul's energy
1260
00:44:49,410 --> 00:44:50,340
in the physical body,
1261
00:44:50,340 --> 00:44:51,612
but before it's become physical.
1262
00:44:51,612 --> 00:44:56,590
And the personality almost
always agrees to the life plan
1263
00:44:56,590 --> 00:44:59,840
because it's apparent that
it's based on great wisdom
1264
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:01,069
and complete unconditional love.
1265
00:45:01,069 --> 00:45:03,194
Now in a very small percentage of cases,
1266
00:45:03,194 --> 00:45:06,802
the personality starts
to feel human emotions
1267
00:45:06,802 --> 00:45:08,803
before coming into body.
1268
00:45:08,803 --> 00:45:11,570
And specifically, maybe some fear
1269
00:45:11,570 --> 00:45:13,949
around some of the challenges
that have been planned.
1270
00:45:13,949 --> 00:45:16,011
So if the personality expresses doubts
1271
00:45:16,011 --> 00:45:19,263
that perhaps the life plan
is going to be too difficult,
1272
00:45:19,263 --> 00:45:22,972
then the personality is
reassured by the guides
1273
00:45:22,972 --> 00:45:25,295
we think this is for the best.
1274
00:45:25,295 --> 00:45:26,890
The highest good of all beings,
1275
00:45:26,890 --> 00:45:28,330
we feel that you can do it.
1276
00:45:28,330 --> 00:45:29,730
We encourage you to do this.
1277
00:45:29,730 --> 00:45:32,190
And at that point, most of those
1278
00:45:32,190 --> 00:45:33,760
who've expressed fear or doubt
1279
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:35,865
agree to go ahead with the life plan.
1280
00:45:35,865 --> 00:45:38,843
There's a very small percentage
1281
00:45:38,843 --> 00:45:40,623
who continue to say well,
1282
00:45:40,623 --> 00:45:43,030
I don't know, this might be too much.
1283
00:45:43,030 --> 00:45:43,863
I'm concerned.
1284
00:45:43,863 --> 00:45:44,954
I'm worried, and I feel afraid.
1285
00:45:44,954 --> 00:45:47,277
And if they continue to feel that way,
1286
00:45:47,277 --> 00:45:49,215
then the life plan is amended
1287
00:45:49,215 --> 00:45:51,350
so that they're comfortable with it.
1288
00:45:51,350 --> 00:45:53,640
So no one is forced to do anything
1289
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:54,874
that they don't agree to.
1290
00:45:54,874 --> 00:45:57,010
If you don't agree to the life plan,
1291
00:45:57,010 --> 00:45:57,986
then it gets changed
1292
00:45:57,986 --> 00:46:00,090
such that it is agreeable to you.
1293
00:46:00,090 --> 00:46:02,826
- In order for me to
be here on this planet,
1294
00:46:02,826 --> 00:46:04,980
I would have to be
aware of my grandparents
1295
00:46:04,980 --> 00:46:06,546
sort of meeting.
1296
00:46:06,546 --> 00:46:08,390
I would have to have some insight on some
1297
00:46:08,390 --> 00:46:11,132
linear time at some point?
1298
00:46:11,132 --> 00:46:13,924
I guess I'm trying to understand
this time thing again.
1299
00:46:13,924 --> 00:46:18,924
- Yeah, I think it's very
hard to wrap a physical,
1300
00:46:19,271 --> 00:46:24,170
third dimensional brain
around the concept of no time.
1301
00:46:24,170 --> 00:46:25,003
- Right.
1302
00:46:25,003 --> 00:46:26,660
- Because, you know,
everything that the brain
1303
00:46:26,660 --> 00:46:28,771
is pulling in is coming in
through the five senses,
1304
00:46:28,771 --> 00:46:31,859
which are set up to perceive linear time.
1305
00:46:31,859 --> 00:46:35,160
So I go back again to that analogy
1306
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:38,360
of the soul listening to a CD,
1307
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:41,020
where a song is like a lifetime.
1308
00:46:41,020 --> 00:46:44,210
And the soul is able to
hear all the songs on the CD
1309
00:46:44,210 --> 00:46:46,140
at the same point in time.
1310
00:46:46,140 --> 00:46:48,850
But we can't do that because
of the limitations of the brain
1311
00:46:48,850 --> 00:46:50,230
and the five senses.
1312
00:46:50,230 --> 00:46:52,130
So I've come to the conclusion
1313
00:46:52,130 --> 00:46:53,943
that I'm not fully going to understand
1314
00:46:53,943 --> 00:46:56,730
this discrepancy in the concept of time
1315
00:46:56,730 --> 00:46:58,593
until I get back to to other side.
1316
00:46:58,593 --> 00:47:01,800
And then I'll understand it
much better when I'm there.
1317
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:03,120
Then I'll reincarnate,
1318
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:04,343
and once again, I'll be confused by it.
1319
00:47:04,343 --> 00:47:06,827
I think that's just the
nature of the experience.
1320
00:47:06,827 --> 00:47:09,244
(soft music)
1321
00:47:11,250 --> 00:47:13,333
- If there's a blueprint or a plan
1322
00:47:13,333 --> 00:47:15,330
and then there's this free will,
1323
00:47:15,330 --> 00:47:17,130
so there must be like this basic idea
1324
00:47:17,130 --> 00:47:18,247
of what we're supposed to be doing--
1325
00:47:18,247 --> 00:47:19,546
- What--
- And then
1326
00:47:19,546 --> 00:47:20,760
there's this opportunity.
1327
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:22,248
- You're gan be my friend,
1328
00:47:22,248 --> 00:47:23,081
or that you're gonna be my mother,
1329
00:47:23,081 --> 00:47:24,030
or that I'm gonna be someone's parent.
1330
00:47:24,030 --> 00:47:26,741
Those cannot be changed.
1331
00:47:26,741 --> 00:47:30,138
I mean even terminations or miscarriages,
1332
00:47:30,138 --> 00:47:31,500
those were planned.
1333
00:47:31,500 --> 00:47:33,000
I mean literally,
1334
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:34,270
there is free will.
1335
00:47:34,270 --> 00:47:35,750
But with those significant,
1336
00:47:35,750 --> 00:47:36,930
who I'm going to come in with,
1337
00:47:36,930 --> 00:47:38,407
who I'm going to grow with,
1338
00:47:38,407 --> 00:47:41,980
no, there is not, there
does not seem to be
1339
00:47:41,980 --> 00:47:44,770
a lot of free will with
that whatsoever at all.
1340
00:47:44,770 --> 00:47:46,070
Even with adoptions,
1341
00:47:46,070 --> 00:47:48,120
my mother would give birth to me,
1342
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:49,950
and she knew that she wouldn't be able
1343
00:47:49,950 --> 00:47:51,650
to have me or keep me.
1344
00:47:51,650 --> 00:47:52,483
She would put me up,
1345
00:47:52,483 --> 00:47:53,760
the person that would adopt me
1346
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:55,696
would even be included
in that pre-birth plan.
1347
00:47:55,696 --> 00:47:58,813
So those relationships, I feel,
1348
00:47:58,813 --> 00:48:02,967
are definitely, absolutely
written into the pre-birth plan.
1349
00:48:02,967 --> 00:48:06,650
The events that we do
in life, our purpose,
1350
00:48:06,650 --> 00:48:07,820
we can stray off of that.
1351
00:48:07,820 --> 00:48:09,120
There is free will in that.
1352
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:11,730
And again, it's not
dictated down to the second.
1353
00:48:11,730 --> 00:48:12,930
If I wanna turn left,
1354
00:48:12,930 --> 00:48:14,404
and I'm being told to turn right,
1355
00:48:14,404 --> 00:48:16,390
nothing significant is going to happen.
1356
00:48:16,390 --> 00:48:18,003
- I think that part of the free will,
1357
00:48:18,003 --> 00:48:19,819
that aspect will allow us to,
1358
00:48:19,819 --> 00:48:22,670
to really make the choice on our own,
1359
00:48:22,670 --> 00:48:23,503
to really learn.
1360
00:48:23,503 --> 00:48:24,576
- And where we mess up here,
1361
00:48:24,576 --> 00:48:27,220
where we feel that,
again, because it's not,
1362
00:48:27,220 --> 00:48:28,404
messing up is a strong word.
1363
00:48:28,404 --> 00:48:30,910
If I could've done better,
1364
00:48:30,910 --> 00:48:33,430
or felt that treated someone unkindly,
1365
00:48:33,430 --> 00:48:35,340
I get the chance and the opportunity
1366
00:48:35,340 --> 00:48:37,190
to come back and make that right.
1367
00:48:37,190 --> 00:48:42,168
So absolutely there is a
free will caveat to this
1368
00:48:42,168 --> 00:48:45,200
because when I've made the agreement
1369
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:46,140
to come and do something,
1370
00:48:46,140 --> 00:48:47,307
I've made the agreement
with the understanding
1371
00:48:47,307 --> 00:48:49,470
I'm going to be kind, and lovely,
1372
00:48:49,470 --> 00:48:50,914
and wonderful, and charming,
1373
00:48:50,914 --> 00:48:53,400
and patient all day every day.
1374
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:54,694
And of course, I'll support you.
1375
00:48:54,694 --> 00:48:56,470
That doesn't happen in real life.
1376
00:48:56,470 --> 00:48:57,350
When we get down here,
1377
00:48:57,350 --> 00:48:59,735
we have other extraneous
circumstances happening.
1378
00:48:59,735 --> 00:49:01,280
I have a bad day at work.
1379
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:02,113
- Sure.
1380
00:49:02,113 --> 00:49:02,946
- I get fired from my job.
1381
00:49:02,946 --> 00:49:04,830
I burned down, you know, little--
1382
00:49:04,830 --> 00:49:06,223
- Fly off the handle.
1383
00:49:06,223 --> 00:49:07,056
- Exactly.
1384
00:49:07,056 --> 00:49:08,610
So if those things pile up,
1385
00:49:08,610 --> 00:49:10,150
perhaps I come back, oh wow,
1386
00:49:10,150 --> 00:49:11,933
I really could've been more
patient with my children.
1387
00:49:11,933 --> 00:49:14,590
I'd like to come back and try that again.
1388
00:49:14,590 --> 00:49:15,423
They of course would support me
1389
00:49:15,423 --> 00:49:17,435
because they would have
an understanding again,
1390
00:49:17,435 --> 00:49:18,810
this is temporary.
1391
00:49:18,810 --> 00:49:19,643
We go back.
1392
00:49:19,643 --> 00:49:22,099
This is, this is a never ending cycle.
1393
00:49:22,099 --> 00:49:23,840
- I would think the flow chart
1394
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:25,820
would kind of keep guiding us back to
1395
00:49:25,820 --> 00:49:30,820
experiences that would
facilitate that type of learning.
1396
00:49:30,890 --> 00:49:31,780
- It does.
1397
00:49:31,780 --> 00:49:34,049
But those sorts of experiences,
1398
00:49:34,049 --> 00:49:36,410
which ones you call to yourself,
1399
00:49:36,410 --> 00:49:39,055
which ones actualize, depend
upon your free will choices.
1400
00:49:39,055 --> 00:49:41,878
So let me give you a hypothetical story
1401
00:49:41,878 --> 00:49:45,557
to illustrate the
intersection between free will
1402
00:49:45,557 --> 00:49:47,690
and pre-birth planning.
1403
00:49:47,690 --> 00:49:49,450
Let's say that there's a soul,
1404
00:49:49,450 --> 00:49:51,733
and I'll arbitrarily call this soul Sally.
1405
00:49:51,733 --> 00:49:55,240
Sally has had a number
of past lives in which
1406
00:49:55,240 --> 00:49:57,593
she planned to learn and do certain things
1407
00:49:57,593 --> 00:49:59,460
in those incarnations.
1408
00:49:59,460 --> 00:50:00,583
But then when she got here,
1409
00:50:00,583 --> 00:50:03,980
she had a tendency to defer
to the wishes of others.
1410
00:50:03,980 --> 00:50:05,252
Not an uncommon thing to do.
1411
00:50:05,252 --> 00:50:08,210
In other words, she let
other people tell her
1412
00:50:08,210 --> 00:50:09,497
how to live those lives.
1413
00:50:09,497 --> 00:50:13,213
When Sally has a life review
at the end of those lifetimes,
1414
00:50:13,213 --> 00:50:15,910
she sees that she has this tendency
1415
00:50:15,910 --> 00:50:17,619
to defer to the wishes of others,
1416
00:50:17,619 --> 00:50:19,946
and so she plans in the next incarnation
1417
00:50:19,946 --> 00:50:22,116
to bring it back into body energetically,
1418
00:50:22,116 --> 00:50:24,670
not for the purpose of expressing it,
1419
00:50:24,670 --> 00:50:26,390
but rather for the purpose of healing it.
1420
00:50:26,390 --> 00:50:27,816
- So we get another assignment.
1421
00:50:27,816 --> 00:50:28,649
- [Robert] Another assignment.
1422
00:50:28,649 --> 00:50:29,482
- [Craig] Another assignment.
1423
00:50:29,482 --> 00:50:31,766
- Now let's say there's another
soul in Sally's soul group.
1424
00:50:31,766 --> 00:50:33,301
I'll just call him George.
1425
00:50:33,301 --> 00:50:35,860
George just had a number of past lives
1426
00:50:35,860 --> 00:50:37,760
in which he had the opposite tendency.
1427
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:39,800
He had a tendency to dominate others
1428
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:41,208
and use power inappropriately.
1429
00:50:41,208 --> 00:50:43,953
When he has his life review, he sees this,
1430
00:50:43,953 --> 00:50:47,780
and he resolves to carry
that tendency back into body,
1431
00:50:47,780 --> 00:50:49,700
again not to express it,
1432
00:50:49,700 --> 00:50:50,923
but rather to heal it.
1433
00:50:50,923 --> 00:50:53,130
Now because they're in
the same soul group,
1434
00:50:53,130 --> 00:50:55,546
Sally knows about George's pre-birth plan.
1435
00:50:55,546 --> 00:50:58,850
So she goes to him before
either one is incarnated,
1436
00:50:58,850 --> 00:51:00,520
and she says something like
1437
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:02,491
hey George, I'm bringing back into body
1438
00:51:02,491 --> 00:51:05,350
the tendency to defer
to the wishes of others
1439
00:51:05,350 --> 00:51:06,736
for the purpose of healing it.
1440
00:51:06,736 --> 00:51:09,110
I see that you're taking back into body
1441
00:51:09,110 --> 00:51:10,800
the tendency to dominate others,
1442
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:12,440
also for the purpose of healing it.
1443
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:14,395
Why don't you and I make a pre-birth plan
1444
00:51:14,395 --> 00:51:16,842
that we'll marry, say at the age of 30.
1445
00:51:16,842 --> 00:51:18,850
And although we know this is likely
1446
00:51:18,850 --> 00:51:20,004
to be a turbulent marriage,
1447
00:51:20,004 --> 00:51:23,090
our hope is that I'll learn
to stand up for myself,
1448
00:51:23,090 --> 00:51:24,997
and you'll learn to respect
the wishes of others.
1449
00:51:24,997 --> 00:51:27,804
And George says this is a
great idea, let's do it.
1450
00:51:27,804 --> 00:51:29,292
So that's their plan.
1451
00:51:29,292 --> 00:51:32,150
Now let's say that when Sally is in body,
1452
00:51:32,150 --> 00:51:33,860
and 25 years old,
1453
00:51:33,860 --> 00:51:35,420
she gets a job with an employer
1454
00:51:35,420 --> 00:51:37,796
who treats her with a
profound lack of kindness.
1455
00:51:37,796 --> 00:51:40,760
And let's say she marshals
her internal resources
1456
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:41,780
and she takes a stand.
1457
00:51:41,780 --> 00:51:42,665
She says stop.
1458
00:51:42,665 --> 00:51:44,463
If you want me to continue working here,
1459
00:51:44,463 --> 00:51:47,067
you must treat me with
respect and kindness.
1460
00:51:47,067 --> 00:51:49,970
In the moment she takes a stand like that,
1461
00:51:49,970 --> 00:51:52,180
there's a tremendous
increase in her vibration.
1462
00:51:52,180 --> 00:51:55,205
If she can sustain the
heightened vibration
1463
00:51:55,205 --> 00:51:58,739
until she's 30, now one
of two things will happen.
1464
00:51:58,739 --> 00:52:00,397
Either she and George never meet,
1465
00:52:00,397 --> 00:52:02,443
because by virtue of
the Law of Attraction,
1466
00:52:02,443 --> 00:52:04,340
her vibration is here.
1467
00:52:04,340 --> 00:52:05,260
His is here.
1468
00:52:05,260 --> 00:52:06,518
They go right by each other.
1469
00:52:06,518 --> 00:52:08,023
Or if they do meet,
1470
00:52:08,023 --> 00:52:09,780
nothing comes of it.
1471
00:52:09,780 --> 00:52:11,930
Again, their vibrations are so dissimilar,
1472
00:52:11,930 --> 00:52:12,840
there's no attraction.
1473
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:14,748
They have one date and then that's it.
1474
00:52:14,748 --> 00:52:16,996
So in this hypothetical,
1475
00:52:16,996 --> 00:52:19,250
Sally has used her free will
1476
00:52:19,250 --> 00:52:21,510
to learn the plan lesson,
1477
00:52:21,510 --> 00:52:24,650
which in turn obviates the
need for the plan challenge,
1478
00:52:24,650 --> 00:52:25,880
the difficult marriage.
1479
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:27,177
So it simply never happens.
1480
00:52:27,177 --> 00:52:30,090
Now you might say well what about George.
1481
00:52:30,090 --> 00:52:31,347
Doesn't he still have to learn his lesson.
1482
00:52:31,347 --> 00:52:32,820
Yes, he does.
1483
00:52:32,820 --> 00:52:35,820
And he will magnetize to
himself other experiences
1484
00:52:35,820 --> 00:52:37,766
that will give him the
opportunity to do that.
1485
00:52:37,766 --> 00:52:40,709
So you see, there's this
intersection between free will
1486
00:52:40,709 --> 00:52:42,521
and pre-birth planning.
1487
00:52:42,521 --> 00:52:44,660
- So sometimes we choose these people,
1488
00:52:44,660 --> 00:52:46,413
but we never actually
have contact with them?
1489
00:52:46,413 --> 00:52:49,010
- Well it depends on
your free will decisions
1490
00:52:49,010 --> 00:52:50,088
and their free will decisions.
1491
00:52:50,088 --> 00:52:51,810
And that's why you have, again,
1492
00:52:51,810 --> 00:52:54,060
the quote unquote back up plans.
1493
00:52:54,060 --> 00:52:56,875
So for example, in the
death of a loved one chapter
1494
00:52:56,875 --> 00:52:58,641
in "Your Soul's Plan",
1495
00:52:58,641 --> 00:53:01,970
a person who is the
focus of that story there
1496
00:53:01,970 --> 00:53:05,090
is a woman who lost her only child
1497
00:53:05,090 --> 00:53:07,306
to a seemingly accidental drug overdose.
1498
00:53:07,306 --> 00:53:10,096
And then also lost her fiance
1499
00:53:10,096 --> 00:53:13,390
in a diving accident only 24 hours
1500
00:53:13,390 --> 00:53:15,130
after they got engaged.
1501
00:53:15,130 --> 00:53:16,880
And in working with the mediums,
1502
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:18,530
we talked with her son
1503
00:53:18,530 --> 00:53:19,783
and we talked with the finance.
1504
00:53:19,783 --> 00:53:23,162
And I remember when we were
talking to her former fiance,
1505
00:53:23,162 --> 00:53:26,130
we said what would have happened
1506
00:53:26,130 --> 00:53:28,171
if for some reason the diving accident
1507
00:53:28,171 --> 00:53:30,090
never took place.
1508
00:53:30,090 --> 00:53:31,734
And he said well, I had other backup plans
1509
00:53:31,734 --> 00:53:34,214
that would've led to my death
1510
00:53:34,214 --> 00:53:36,446
at more or less the same
point in linear time.
1511
00:53:36,446 --> 00:53:39,050
One of the other options
was a motorcycle accident.
1512
00:53:39,050 --> 00:53:40,695
And I don't recall specifically
1513
00:53:40,695 --> 00:53:41,890
what the others were,
1514
00:53:41,890 --> 00:53:43,910
but there were these backups in place
1515
00:53:43,910 --> 00:53:45,482
so that what was planned would happen
1516
00:53:45,482 --> 00:53:47,780
at more or less this point in linear time.
1517
00:53:47,780 --> 00:53:50,110
- Does any of your clients ever recall
1518
00:53:50,110 --> 00:53:51,395
their pre-birth plan discussions?
1519
00:53:51,395 --> 00:53:54,920
- Actually, quite a
few have recalled that.
1520
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:57,165
And here's where it
gets really interesting.
1521
00:53:57,165 --> 00:53:59,892
I deal with a lot of parents
that've lost children.
1522
00:53:59,892 --> 00:54:02,710
I would say about half of those have had
1523
00:54:02,710 --> 00:54:05,530
a closeness or a
connection with their child
1524
00:54:05,530 --> 00:54:06,670
that is in spirit
1525
00:54:06,670 --> 00:54:08,490
that was very different
from their other children.
1526
00:54:08,490 --> 00:54:09,920
I know that for myself as well too.
1527
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:10,753
- Really?
1528
00:54:10,753 --> 00:54:11,740
- I felt slightly different
1529
00:54:11,740 --> 00:54:13,733
with my daughter that's in spirit.
1530
00:54:13,733 --> 00:54:15,130
I felt very protective of her.
1531
00:54:15,130 --> 00:54:17,518
I felt there was a fragility to her.
1532
00:54:17,518 --> 00:54:20,340
And it's really not very uncommon
1533
00:54:20,340 --> 00:54:22,880
for a parent to just have a feeling
1534
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:23,982
that they can't explain,
1535
00:54:23,982 --> 00:54:26,550
and oftentimes they're very uncomfortable
1536
00:54:26,550 --> 00:54:27,383
talking about that.
1537
00:54:27,383 --> 00:54:28,570
They don't want to acknowledge that.
1538
00:54:28,570 --> 00:54:29,608
They don't want to talk about that
1539
00:54:29,608 --> 00:54:31,282
until the child is in spirit.
1540
00:54:31,282 --> 00:54:34,420
They just knew, or this
child had an older soul,
1541
00:54:34,420 --> 00:54:36,620
or seemed a little bit
wiser and different.
1542
00:54:36,620 --> 00:54:37,870
They just felt something
1543
00:54:37,870 --> 00:54:40,740
they wouldn't have that
soul with them forever.
1544
00:54:40,740 --> 00:54:42,540
They simply had a (mumbles).
1545
00:54:42,540 --> 00:54:45,463
So yeah, I think it
absolutely does slip through.
1546
00:54:47,150 --> 00:54:49,160
When we, we sometimes have a feeling
1547
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:51,316
that the relationship
won't last that long,
1548
00:54:51,316 --> 00:54:54,050
or we'll know that we might
not get to see a parent
1549
00:54:54,050 --> 00:54:55,160
or a grandparent again.
1550
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:57,161
There is a memory that does slip in.
1551
00:54:57,161 --> 00:55:00,220
(soft music)
1552
00:55:00,220 --> 00:55:01,410
- The ability to feel
1553
00:55:01,410 --> 00:55:02,540
what another is going through
1554
00:55:02,540 --> 00:55:03,962
can be difficult to understand
1555
00:55:03,962 --> 00:55:07,560
if I myself have not gone through
what they've gone through.
1556
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:09,977
(soft music)
1557
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:15,050
We have all these things
1558
00:55:15,050 --> 00:55:17,571
like unconditional love, but empathy?
1559
00:55:17,571 --> 00:55:20,907
Why is empathy such a big focus for us?
1560
00:55:20,907 --> 00:55:23,430
- I think there are a couple of reasons.
1561
00:55:23,430 --> 00:55:27,170
One is that the soul
by nature is expansive,
1562
00:55:27,170 --> 00:55:30,050
meaning it wants to experience everything
1563
00:55:30,050 --> 00:55:32,187
and it wants to understand everything.
1564
00:55:32,187 --> 00:55:35,891
Well when you have true
empathy for another being,
1565
00:55:35,891 --> 00:55:39,920
you understand why they
feel the way they feel.
1566
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:42,730
It's a form of enhanced understanding,
1567
00:55:42,730 --> 00:55:45,700
and that really is something
that the soul is seeking
1568
00:55:45,700 --> 00:55:47,410
through the evolutionary process.
1569
00:55:47,410 --> 00:55:49,568
I think the other thing
happening with empathy
1570
00:55:49,568 --> 00:55:52,730
is that when you truly empathize
1571
00:55:52,730 --> 00:55:54,810
with somebody else,
1572
00:55:54,810 --> 00:55:57,640
you can be of tremendous service to them.
1573
00:55:57,640 --> 00:55:59,440
Again, because you understand
1574
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:01,335
what's happening with them and why.
1575
00:56:01,335 --> 00:56:04,240
Service to others, as I mentioned,
1576
00:56:04,240 --> 00:56:05,810
is something that I have seen in literally
1577
00:56:05,810 --> 00:56:08,210
every pre-birth plan I've ever looked at.
1578
00:56:08,210 --> 00:56:09,850
If you really wanna be a powerful
1579
00:56:09,850 --> 00:56:11,814
and effective service to others,
1580
00:56:11,814 --> 00:56:14,763
if you can truly empathize with them,
1581
00:56:15,949 --> 00:56:18,620
that greatly enhances your
ability to be of service.
1582
00:56:18,620 --> 00:56:20,850
- And I think that that's the big purpose
1583
00:56:20,850 --> 00:56:21,890
for the life review.
1584
00:56:21,890 --> 00:56:22,880
- Exactly, yeah.
1585
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:25,090
- Because you get the drivers seat
1586
00:56:25,090 --> 00:56:27,140
to see what that person felt,
1587
00:56:27,140 --> 00:56:29,388
and all the ripple effects
1588
00:56:29,388 --> 00:56:30,752
of the things that you caused,
1589
00:56:30,752 --> 00:56:33,542
you get to experience what they felt.
1590
00:56:33,542 --> 00:56:37,320
So the life review is very empathetic.
1591
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:38,153
- That's exactly right.
1592
00:56:38,153 --> 00:56:40,970
Yeah, in the life review,
as I understand it,
1593
00:56:40,970 --> 00:56:43,366
you are shown the important scenes
1594
00:56:43,366 --> 00:56:45,180
from your previous incarnation.
1595
00:56:45,180 --> 00:56:47,641
But when you view these scenes,
1596
00:56:47,641 --> 00:56:49,863
you see not just what happened,
1597
00:56:49,863 --> 00:56:53,460
but you immerse yourself in
the others who are there,
1598
00:56:53,460 --> 00:56:54,774
and you feel what they felt
1599
00:56:54,774 --> 00:56:57,146
when you did whatever it was you did.
1600
00:56:57,146 --> 00:56:59,052
And that's all about empathy.
1601
00:56:59,052 --> 00:57:01,423
- So maybe a soul that wants
to learn about compassion,
1602
00:57:01,423 --> 00:57:04,508
maybe incarnate into let's
say a dysfunctional--
1603
00:57:04,508 --> 00:57:06,200
- Could be a dysfunctional family,
1604
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:07,703
or someone that has a disability,
1605
00:57:07,703 --> 00:57:09,703
a physical or mental disability.
1606
00:57:10,730 --> 00:57:11,810
And they would really depend and rely
1607
00:57:11,810 --> 00:57:14,126
on having others that are
compassionate around them.
1608
00:57:14,126 --> 00:57:17,160
Or perhaps they might be
a caretaker of someone
1609
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:19,381
that has a physical,
mental, or emotional issue
1610
00:57:19,381 --> 00:57:21,900
and see how others treat you know,
1611
00:57:21,900 --> 00:57:22,850
the person that they're in
1612
00:57:22,850 --> 00:57:25,160
the relationship with without compassion.
1613
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:28,400
So it really forces us in these difficult
1614
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:30,463
or dysfunctional relationships
1615
00:57:30,463 --> 00:57:33,520
to have compassion be our forefront.
1616
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:35,197
- So it sounds like,
1617
00:57:35,197 --> 00:57:37,745
forgive me if I'm saying it wrong,
1618
00:57:37,745 --> 00:57:40,026
you appreciate what happened to you.
1619
00:57:40,026 --> 00:57:41,630
- I so appreciate it.
1620
00:57:41,630 --> 00:57:43,970
I so appreciate what happened to me.
1621
00:57:43,970 --> 00:57:46,540
And I so appreciate that my body is still
1622
00:57:47,610 --> 00:57:48,513
walking,
1623
00:57:50,070 --> 00:57:51,830
walking with it,
1624
00:57:51,830 --> 00:57:53,400
walking this story,
1625
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:54,534
'cause it doesn't stop me.
1626
00:57:54,534 --> 00:57:56,030
You know, people's stories,
1627
00:57:56,030 --> 00:57:58,180
when it stops them from
doing something in life,
1628
00:57:58,180 --> 00:58:01,730
then we have a little bit of
we have to get back to center.
1629
00:58:01,730 --> 00:58:03,340
We have to find that balance again,
1630
00:58:03,340 --> 00:58:04,173
that inner strength,
1631
00:58:04,173 --> 00:58:05,460
that inner knowing.
1632
00:58:05,460 --> 00:58:07,153
But I carry my story
1633
00:58:07,153 --> 00:58:10,973
very powerfully, I feel, with confidence.
1634
00:58:11,878 --> 00:58:12,820
- You even changed your name.
1635
00:58:12,820 --> 00:58:14,230
- That name was given to me actually.
1636
00:58:14,230 --> 00:58:15,063
I probably would not,
1637
00:58:15,063 --> 00:58:16,860
I might, my ego part
1638
00:58:16,860 --> 00:58:18,760
probably would not have given
me the name of CuteHands,
1639
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:20,777
I can tell you that probably in truth
1640
00:58:20,777 --> 00:58:23,100
because my hands at that time
1641
00:58:23,100 --> 00:58:24,163
were not so cute.
1642
00:58:25,891 --> 00:58:27,130
You know, they were really,
1643
00:58:27,130 --> 00:58:29,190
they were really deformed looking.
1644
00:58:29,190 --> 00:58:30,750
And so a little six year old,
1645
00:58:30,750 --> 00:58:33,340
a little six year old at
a pow-wow, Edge Water Park
1646
00:58:33,340 --> 00:58:34,336
in Cleveland, Ohio
1647
00:58:34,336 --> 00:58:37,170
wanted me to put this necklace on her.
1648
00:58:37,170 --> 00:58:38,070
She came up to my tent
1649
00:58:38,070 --> 00:58:39,330
because I was selling things there
1650
00:58:39,330 --> 00:58:40,742
for my foundation I had started.
1651
00:58:40,742 --> 00:58:44,044
And she wanted me to put
this necklace on her,
1652
00:58:44,044 --> 00:58:46,500
and I knew a name was coming to me.
1653
00:58:46,500 --> 00:58:48,100
I could actually feel it in my spirit.
1654
00:58:48,100 --> 00:58:49,610
Now mind you, I'm still in a wheelchair
1655
00:58:49,610 --> 00:58:51,840
and I kept feeling oh maybe
it'll be something like
1656
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:54,300
you know, Rebecca Running Bear.
1657
00:58:54,300 --> 00:58:55,605
I'm like no, you're in a wheelchair.
1658
00:58:55,605 --> 00:58:57,234
How's it gonna be a Running Bear?
1659
00:58:57,234 --> 00:58:58,705
- Soaring Eagle.
1660
00:58:58,705 --> 00:59:00,051
- Yeah, Soaring Eagle.
- You can't fly.
1661
00:59:00,051 --> 00:59:01,466
- Right.
1662
00:59:01,466 --> 00:59:02,299
(laughs)
1663
00:59:02,299 --> 00:59:03,697
And it was so before and so authentic
1664
00:59:03,697 --> 00:59:06,004
and that's how I knew,
1665
00:59:06,004 --> 00:59:10,669
again, that whole feeling came
over my body again, that rush
1666
00:59:10,669 --> 00:59:12,450
because it was truth.
1667
00:59:12,450 --> 00:59:14,100
And she came up to my tent,
1668
00:59:14,100 --> 00:59:15,360
asked me to put this necklace on her,
1669
00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:16,916
and I couldn't work those little clasps.
1670
00:59:16,916 --> 00:59:18,702
I don't think anybody
could work those clasps
1671
00:59:18,702 --> 00:59:19,925
for those necklaces.
1672
00:59:19,925 --> 00:59:20,970
- Yeah.
1673
00:59:20,970 --> 00:59:22,806
- And I said you know, I
can't put this on you sweetie.
1674
00:59:22,806 --> 00:59:25,770
I said my hands aren't well right now.
1675
00:59:25,770 --> 00:59:27,535
And she was a little Russian girl.
1676
00:59:27,535 --> 00:59:29,722
And she said let me see your hands.
1677
00:59:29,722 --> 00:59:32,168
And she takes my hands and she says,
1678
00:59:32,168 --> 00:59:34,260
but you do all these beautiful work.
1679
00:59:34,260 --> 00:59:35,680
And I said yes I do.
1680
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:38,440
And she goes, well I don't
think your hands are sick.
1681
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:40,200
And I would call you Rebecca CuteHands.
1682
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:42,617
(soft music)
1683
00:59:46,260 --> 00:59:48,030
- So are we seeing in a deja vu,
1684
00:59:48,030 --> 00:59:51,740
are we seeing a glimpse of our, our plan?
1685
00:59:51,740 --> 00:59:54,270
- I think that can be what it is.
1686
00:59:54,270 --> 00:59:57,250
The traditional understanding of deja vu
1687
00:59:57,250 --> 01:00:00,570
is you go to a place that
you've never been to before
1688
01:00:00,570 --> 01:00:01,781
in your current lifetime,
1689
01:00:01,781 --> 01:00:04,860
and somehow it feels very familiar.
1690
01:00:04,860 --> 01:00:06,250
And then people will say
1691
01:00:06,250 --> 01:00:07,950
oh, I must have been there in a past life.
1692
01:00:07,950 --> 01:00:10,400
And I think that can be the case,
1693
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:11,510
and often is the case.
1694
01:00:11,510 --> 01:00:13,300
That's why it feels familiar.
1695
01:00:13,300 --> 01:00:15,460
But it can also be what
you're referring to.
1696
01:00:15,460 --> 01:00:17,854
It could be in your
pre-birth planning session,
1697
01:00:17,854 --> 01:00:21,023
you were shown a scene of something
1698
01:00:21,023 --> 01:00:22,500
that was likely to happen,
1699
01:00:22,500 --> 01:00:24,521
or some place that you
were very likely to go to
1700
01:00:24,521 --> 01:00:27,559
and so when it feels familiar to you,
1701
01:00:27,559 --> 01:00:30,720
it's because you saw it in a
pre-birth planning session.
1702
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:31,694
- Do you think that
1703
01:00:31,694 --> 01:00:33,890
deja vu is a little bit of a glimpse
1704
01:00:33,890 --> 01:00:34,860
of the pre-birth planning?
1705
01:00:34,860 --> 01:00:35,740
- I absolutely do.
1706
01:00:35,740 --> 01:00:38,210
I think when we have
those deja vu moments,
1707
01:00:38,210 --> 01:00:39,770
when something feels very familiar,
1708
01:00:39,770 --> 01:00:42,480
we're just, the veil is
thinning perhaps a little bit
1709
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:44,030
and we're just getting to see a glimpse
1710
01:00:44,030 --> 01:00:45,709
of oh, I knew about this.
1711
01:00:45,709 --> 01:00:47,740
This is something that
feels very familiar.
1712
01:00:47,740 --> 01:00:48,600
I've agreed to this.
1713
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:51,265
So it absolutely can be on
something on a micro level
1714
01:00:51,265 --> 01:00:53,550
or macro level as well too.
1715
01:00:53,550 --> 01:00:55,603
- I guess that it's pretty safe
1716
01:00:55,603 --> 01:00:58,304
for me to ask you the question,
1717
01:00:58,304 --> 01:01:00,148
you believe there are no victims.
1718
01:01:00,148 --> 01:01:00,981
- I do believe that.
1719
01:01:00,981 --> 01:01:03,100
There are two reasons I say that.
1720
01:01:03,100 --> 01:01:05,170
One is that a lot of the experiences
1721
01:01:05,170 --> 01:01:07,630
that we as a society look at
1722
01:01:07,630 --> 01:01:11,368
as victimizing are planned
before they're born.
1723
01:01:11,368 --> 01:01:13,308
That doesn't mean that every bad thing
1724
01:01:13,308 --> 01:01:15,540
that happens is planned.
1725
01:01:15,540 --> 01:01:16,830
I don't believe that.
1726
01:01:16,830 --> 01:01:19,970
But even when something
quote unquote bad happens
1727
01:01:19,970 --> 01:01:21,380
that was not planned,
1728
01:01:21,380 --> 01:01:24,428
the only way it can occur
is if your vibration,
1729
01:01:24,428 --> 01:01:28,480
your frequency allows it to
come into your experience.
1730
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:31,330
So certainly people are not consciously
1731
01:01:31,330 --> 01:01:33,890
seeking out painful experiences,
1732
01:01:33,890 --> 01:01:35,311
at least not most of the time.
1733
01:01:35,311 --> 01:01:38,101
But their frequency,
their vibration allows it
1734
01:01:38,101 --> 01:01:40,610
to come into their experience,
1735
01:01:40,610 --> 01:01:41,634
allows it to manifest.
1736
01:01:41,634 --> 01:01:44,720
Now saying that is not the same thing
1737
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:46,781
as blaming people and
saying you're at fault
1738
01:01:46,781 --> 01:01:48,490
for your own suffering.
1739
01:01:48,490 --> 01:01:50,470
You're at fault for the
quote unquote bad things
1740
01:01:50,470 --> 01:01:51,571
that happen in your life.
1741
01:01:51,571 --> 01:01:53,555
There's no fault in the picture
1742
01:01:53,555 --> 01:01:55,660
as far as I'm concerned.
1743
01:01:55,660 --> 01:01:57,140
It's just a description
1744
01:01:58,107 --> 01:01:59,925
of how the physical universe operates.
1745
01:01:59,925 --> 01:02:02,500
Everything is based on energy, frequency,
1746
01:02:02,500 --> 01:02:04,079
vibration, Law of Attraction,
1747
01:02:04,079 --> 01:02:06,617
and again it can't come to your experience
1748
01:02:06,617 --> 01:02:09,140
unless your frequency allows it to.
1749
01:02:09,140 --> 01:02:11,180
- So I would think it's pretty safe to say
1750
01:02:11,180 --> 01:02:12,754
that you believe there's no victims.
1751
01:02:12,754 --> 01:02:15,230
- I do not believe in victimhood,
1752
01:02:15,230 --> 01:02:17,470
even might what appear to be a victim,
1753
01:02:17,470 --> 01:02:18,660
let's say a victim of a crime,
1754
01:02:18,660 --> 01:02:19,775
a victim of abuse.
1755
01:02:19,775 --> 01:02:22,743
I believe that we choose that experience.
1756
01:02:23,792 --> 01:02:24,660
I believe that we come in,
1757
01:02:24,660 --> 01:02:26,153
and I absolutely do not believe
1758
01:02:26,153 --> 01:02:28,490
that there is anything that's victim.
1759
01:02:28,490 --> 01:02:33,190
- So let's just say somebody gets killed
1760
01:02:33,190 --> 01:02:35,540
by a gun, or somebody like that.
1761
01:02:35,540 --> 01:02:37,867
Do you think that
1762
01:02:37,867 --> 01:02:40,850
it wasn't exactly in the plan?
1763
01:02:40,850 --> 01:02:44,140
- I think it absolutely was
the plan for that to happen.
1764
01:02:44,140 --> 01:02:45,270
I think there was an agreement.
1765
01:02:45,270 --> 01:02:47,229
Listen, I do not condone murder.
1766
01:02:47,229 --> 01:02:48,100
- No.
1767
01:02:48,100 --> 01:02:49,490
- I don't condone any of these things,
1768
01:02:49,490 --> 01:02:50,807
but I will say this,
1769
01:02:50,807 --> 01:02:52,440
I've made the agreement
1770
01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:55,053
to come in and give you the
opportunity to do better,
1771
01:02:55,053 --> 01:02:56,558
to not make that decision.
1772
01:02:56,558 --> 01:02:58,730
Let's say you go ahead and complete it.
1773
01:02:58,730 --> 01:03:00,690
That was in the pre-birth plan as well.
1774
01:03:00,690 --> 01:03:01,760
That was an agreement.
1775
01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:04,410
And I have an understanding of
what your life would be like
1776
01:03:04,410 --> 01:03:06,459
after that event, which you might suffer.
1777
01:03:06,459 --> 01:03:08,670
And that's it.
1778
01:03:08,670 --> 01:03:12,153
I mean if we stop seeing
ourselves as victims,
1779
01:03:12,153 --> 01:03:15,410
we can allow forgiveness
and compassion to come in.
1780
01:03:15,410 --> 01:03:18,380
And forgiveness does not mean
it's okay what you've done.
1781
01:03:18,380 --> 01:03:20,180
I'm not saying the
jails should be emptied.
1782
01:03:20,180 --> 01:03:22,310
I'm not a bleeding heart in that manner.
1783
01:03:22,310 --> 01:03:25,218
I think there needs to be
punishment if there is a crime.
1784
01:03:25,218 --> 01:03:27,653
But as far as me being a victim,
1785
01:03:27,653 --> 01:03:28,880
I'm just giving you,
1786
01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:31,340
I'm here in this place to
give you the opportunity
1787
01:03:31,340 --> 01:03:32,660
to choose differently.
1788
01:03:32,660 --> 01:03:34,180
If you don't make that decision,
1789
01:03:34,180 --> 01:03:35,680
that's okay as well too.
1790
01:03:35,680 --> 01:03:37,940
I know what you're life would be like
1791
01:03:37,940 --> 01:03:40,956
after making, doing
that, making that choice.
1792
01:03:40,956 --> 01:03:43,373
(soft music)
1793
01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:46,340
- Why would we enter this earth
1794
01:03:46,340 --> 01:03:48,650
with this self-induced amnesia?
1795
01:03:48,650 --> 01:03:50,350
What's the purpose of the amnesia?
1796
01:03:50,350 --> 01:03:52,831
I mean I know it sounds like
a pretty obvious question.
1797
01:03:52,831 --> 01:03:56,240
- I think there are a couple
of reasons for the amnesia.
1798
01:03:56,240 --> 01:03:57,210
One is that
1799
01:03:58,290 --> 01:04:01,037
it's sort of like the difference
between open book test
1800
01:04:01,037 --> 01:04:03,330
and a closed book test in school.
1801
01:04:03,330 --> 01:04:05,810
If you know that the test
is going to be open book,
1802
01:04:05,810 --> 01:04:07,240
you may not study as hard
1803
01:04:07,240 --> 01:04:08,420
because you figure you'll look up
1804
01:04:08,420 --> 01:04:09,820
the answers during the test,
1805
01:04:09,820 --> 01:04:11,043
and so you don't learn as much.
1806
01:04:11,043 --> 01:04:14,340
By having this self-induced amnesia,
1807
01:04:14,340 --> 01:04:15,880
not remembering the pre-birth plan,
1808
01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:19,522
it effectively turns life
into a closed book test.
1809
01:04:19,522 --> 01:04:21,910
So you just end up learning more.
1810
01:04:21,910 --> 01:04:23,550
I think also,
1811
01:04:23,550 --> 01:04:26,250
a lot of the growth and
learning on the earth plane
1812
01:04:26,250 --> 01:04:28,296
comes through the experience
of intense emotions,
1813
01:04:28,296 --> 01:04:32,061
and how you work with them,
or don't work with them.
1814
01:04:32,061 --> 01:04:35,191
And by remembering the pre-birth plan,
1815
01:04:35,191 --> 01:04:36,870
if you had full memory of it
1816
01:04:36,870 --> 01:04:38,403
and full memory of life on the other side,
1817
01:04:38,403 --> 01:04:40,880
you would be acutely aware of the fact
1818
01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:42,250
that life on earth is nothing more
1819
01:04:42,250 --> 01:04:43,910
than a play on a stage.
1820
01:04:43,910 --> 01:04:45,350
And if you had that awareness,
1821
01:04:45,350 --> 01:04:48,477
that would de-intensify
the emotions you felt
1822
01:04:48,477 --> 01:04:50,020
and so you wouldn't learn as much.
1823
01:04:50,020 --> 01:04:50,853
- Yeah.
1824
01:04:50,853 --> 01:04:53,900
It's a brave idea
1825
01:04:53,900 --> 01:04:54,990
to get into this life
1826
01:04:54,990 --> 01:04:58,202
with a big life suffering scenario.
1827
01:04:58,202 --> 01:04:59,460
- Well, I don't know if you know this,
1828
01:04:59,460 --> 01:05:01,270
but my first book, "Your Soul's Plan",
1829
01:05:01,270 --> 01:05:03,110
before it was picked up by a publisher
1830
01:05:03,110 --> 01:05:04,940
and titled "Your Soul's Plan",
1831
01:05:04,940 --> 01:05:06,810
it was called "Courageous Souls".
1832
01:05:06,810 --> 01:05:08,290
And the reason I chose that title
1833
01:05:08,290 --> 01:05:09,590
is what you just said,
1834
01:05:09,590 --> 01:05:11,330
because it takes tremendous courage
1835
01:05:11,330 --> 01:05:12,384
to plan a life on earth,
1836
01:05:12,384 --> 01:05:15,066
come into body and then execute that plan.
1837
01:05:15,066 --> 01:05:18,270
- When they experience
a traumatic experience,
1838
01:05:18,270 --> 01:05:19,200
or something like that,
1839
01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:22,800
it's really very trivial
you said, and kind of quick?
1840
01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:25,091
- There's an understanding
1841
01:05:25,091 --> 01:05:27,780
before we come in, when
we're doing our pre-birth,
1842
01:05:27,780 --> 01:05:29,930
yes, let's say I'll go
through a broken leg.
1843
01:05:29,930 --> 01:05:31,450
Let's say I'll go through a car accident.
1844
01:05:31,450 --> 01:05:33,180
Let's say I'll go through
the loss of a child,
1845
01:05:33,180 --> 01:05:34,140
or a loss of a parent,
1846
01:05:34,140 --> 01:05:35,220
or the loss of a spouse.
1847
01:05:35,220 --> 01:05:38,345
And my understanding,
because I've done this
1848
01:05:38,345 --> 01:05:39,660
several times before,
1849
01:05:39,660 --> 01:05:41,530
I'll have these experiences.
1850
01:05:41,530 --> 01:05:42,363
I'll learn.
1851
01:05:42,363 --> 01:05:43,410
I'll feel the pain.
1852
01:05:43,410 --> 01:05:44,243
I'll grow from this.
1853
01:05:44,243 --> 01:05:45,661
This is the lessons that I'll take away,
1854
01:05:45,661 --> 01:05:48,298
and then I come into the
physical and I experience these,
1855
01:05:48,298 --> 01:05:51,430
I don't wanna go difficulties,
1856
01:05:51,430 --> 01:05:52,630
but these lessons--
- Sure, sure.
1857
01:05:52,630 --> 01:05:54,320
- That I'll learn from all of this.
1858
01:05:54,320 --> 01:05:57,316
And I remember somewhere deep inside of me
1859
01:05:57,316 --> 01:06:00,520
that yes, I believe that
my loved one is okay.
1860
01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:01,990
I believe that my leg is going to heal.
1861
01:06:01,990 --> 01:06:03,918
I know I'm going to
survive this car accident.
1862
01:06:03,918 --> 01:06:07,330
That's what our soul takes
away from these experiences.
1863
01:06:07,330 --> 01:06:09,600
Now, where that can go a little bit wonky,
1864
01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:11,482
and here's where free
will does come into play.
1865
01:06:11,482 --> 01:06:13,403
I can take these same experiences
1866
01:06:13,403 --> 01:06:16,980
and I can decide all right,
I'm not gonna have that memory
1867
01:06:16,980 --> 01:06:18,054
that my loved one is okay.
1868
01:06:18,054 --> 01:06:20,500
I am going to deal with pain in my leg
1869
01:06:20,500 --> 01:06:21,410
for the rest of my life.
1870
01:06:21,410 --> 01:06:22,660
My life is going to be difficult.
1871
01:06:22,660 --> 01:06:24,192
And we can spiral into victim mode.
1872
01:06:24,192 --> 01:06:26,230
We aren't a victim,
1873
01:06:26,230 --> 01:06:27,910
but we don't listen to our soul.
1874
01:06:27,910 --> 01:06:29,240
We don't listen to our higher self
1875
01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:30,301
that this was a learning experience.
1876
01:06:30,301 --> 01:06:32,760
We choose to see life as being painful,
1877
01:06:32,760 --> 01:06:34,005
or us being punished.
1878
01:06:34,005 --> 01:06:36,543
- I think that the guides
1879
01:06:36,543 --> 01:06:39,340
have an expanded perspective,
1880
01:06:39,340 --> 01:06:40,830
the aerial view, so to speak,
1881
01:06:40,830 --> 01:06:43,690
compared to the viewpoint
that we have while we're here.
1882
01:06:43,690 --> 01:06:46,220
You know, when you're
immersed in suffering,
1883
01:06:46,220 --> 01:06:48,109
especially if it goes on
for any length of time,
1884
01:06:48,109 --> 01:06:51,590
it can be extraordinarily painful.
1885
01:06:51,590 --> 01:06:54,150
And it seems as though
it's never going to end.
1886
01:06:54,150 --> 01:06:56,335
So it's only natural
people would focus on it,
1887
01:06:56,335 --> 01:07:00,086
and what they can do
to alleviate the pain.
1888
01:07:00,086 --> 01:07:03,948
But the guides understand
that this is very temporary.
1889
01:07:03,948 --> 01:07:06,240
Again, no one is permanently harmed
1890
01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:07,453
by anything that happens here.
1891
01:07:07,453 --> 01:07:09,854
And yet the growth, the
wisdom, the learning
1892
01:07:09,854 --> 01:07:12,642
become part of this soul for all eternity.
1893
01:07:12,642 --> 01:07:15,558
So they have that
expanded aerial viewpoint,
1894
01:07:15,558 --> 01:07:16,782
and that allows them
1895
01:07:16,782 --> 01:07:20,740
not to focus on it, or not to see it as
1896
01:07:20,740 --> 01:07:22,770
a cataclysmic thing.
1897
01:07:22,770 --> 01:07:23,603
- Right.
1898
01:07:23,603 --> 01:07:24,770
- The way it might to us.
1899
01:07:24,770 --> 01:07:26,200
- I'm trying to wrap my head around
1900
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:28,117
this misconception of karma.
1901
01:07:28,117 --> 01:07:31,270
And it still seems like it's important
1902
01:07:31,270 --> 01:07:32,580
the balancing of karma.
1903
01:07:32,580 --> 01:07:34,110
So let's just say I was a,
1904
01:07:34,110 --> 01:07:35,247
I'm a rude person.
1905
01:07:35,247 --> 01:07:36,130
- [Isablla] Right.
1906
01:07:36,130 --> 01:07:39,171
- And I might have had
another previous incarnation,
1907
01:07:39,171 --> 01:07:42,490
I might have been treated very rudely.
1908
01:07:42,490 --> 01:07:43,844
So I can understand--
1909
01:07:43,844 --> 01:07:44,872
- [Isabella] Correct.
1910
01:07:44,872 --> 01:07:45,705
- The dynamics.
1911
01:07:45,705 --> 01:07:46,559
- Both sides of the coin.
1912
01:07:46,559 --> 01:07:48,203
You want to experience being the person
1913
01:07:48,203 --> 01:07:51,290
that does the act, and a
person that receives act.
1914
01:07:51,290 --> 01:07:53,887
We seem to need to have
both of those experiences.
1915
01:07:53,887 --> 01:07:56,590
I believe from what I've been shown
1916
01:07:56,590 --> 01:07:58,060
and taught from my guides
1917
01:07:58,060 --> 01:08:01,470
is that we want to experience
a duality of everything.
1918
01:08:01,470 --> 01:08:03,930
We want to have all of the knowledge
1919
01:08:05,109 --> 01:08:05,942
that those ascended masters have.
1920
01:08:05,942 --> 01:08:07,450
We want to have all this experience.
1921
01:08:07,450 --> 01:08:08,820
Someone like Jesus, or Buddha,
1922
01:08:08,820 --> 01:08:11,202
they came in with complete
compassion and understanding
1923
01:08:11,202 --> 01:08:12,750
that we're all perfect.
1924
01:08:12,750 --> 01:08:14,256
There really is nothing
that we can do wrong.
1925
01:08:14,256 --> 01:08:17,063
They had had, I believe,
all of these experiences
1926
01:08:17,063 --> 01:08:19,340
and could see each and every one of us
1927
01:08:19,340 --> 01:08:20,597
through the lens of love and compassion.
1928
01:08:20,597 --> 01:08:25,044
The karma is the negative
connotation with karma
1929
01:08:25,044 --> 01:08:26,435
is there's judgment.
1930
01:08:26,435 --> 01:08:28,222
We don't have judgment.
1931
01:08:28,222 --> 01:08:30,700
There is no judgment on the other side.
1932
01:08:30,700 --> 01:08:31,630
It doesn't exist.
1933
01:08:31,630 --> 01:08:35,250
We do however view how we
made everyone around us feel.
1934
01:08:35,250 --> 01:08:37,197
And if I've offended, or
hurt, or been rude to you,
1935
01:08:37,197 --> 01:08:40,540
I would certainly want
to go back and fix that.
1936
01:08:40,540 --> 01:08:43,705
- If when you see your
rudeness in the life review,
1937
01:08:43,705 --> 01:08:45,939
you feel incomplete with the experience,
1938
01:08:45,939 --> 01:08:48,947
then that feeling of
incompletion is the karma.
1939
01:08:48,947 --> 01:08:49,800
- Ah, okay.
1940
01:08:49,800 --> 01:08:51,240
- But if you feel complete,
1941
01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:52,544
if you feel no need to do that,
1942
01:08:52,544 --> 01:08:54,920
then as I understand it,
1943
01:08:54,920 --> 01:08:56,183
there is no karma there.
1944
01:08:57,211 --> 01:08:58,640
- I would say that you firmly believe
1945
01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:00,354
that karma is not a form of punishment.
1946
01:09:00,354 --> 01:09:01,456
- Definitely, yeah.
1947
01:09:01,456 --> 01:09:05,192
- And it's been portrayed as karma
1948
01:09:05,192 --> 01:09:07,176
as well, you better be,
1949
01:09:07,176 --> 01:09:09,320
you're gonna get punished for that.
1950
01:09:09,320 --> 01:09:12,140
And I think that's part
of our religious paradigms
1951
01:09:12,140 --> 01:09:13,331
that we've believed in.
1952
01:09:13,331 --> 01:09:16,710
- It does look like a punishment
1953
01:09:16,710 --> 01:09:19,540
from the purely human perspective.
1954
01:09:19,540 --> 01:09:21,800
It's natural that people
would feel that way,
1955
01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:23,603
and I don't think there's
necessarily anything
1956
01:09:23,603 --> 01:09:25,483
wrong with feeling that way.
1957
01:09:25,483 --> 01:09:29,232
But more enlightened
or expanded perspective
1958
01:09:29,232 --> 01:09:31,757
would be that you felt incomplete
1959
01:09:31,757 --> 01:09:33,092
with a past experience,
1960
01:09:33,092 --> 01:09:35,770
and you wanted something to balance it
1961
01:09:35,770 --> 01:09:37,494
so that you would be
complete with the experience.
1962
01:09:37,494 --> 01:09:39,152
- What would be the learning process
1963
01:09:39,152 --> 01:09:42,161
of being someone that's kind of naive,
1964
01:09:42,161 --> 01:09:45,260
and someone that's uber intelligent?
1965
01:09:45,260 --> 01:09:47,450
- Well I can certainly
speak for the first one.
1966
01:09:47,450 --> 01:09:50,340
For myself, I think that
I, being very naive,
1967
01:09:50,340 --> 01:09:52,860
or not having an educational background
1968
01:09:52,860 --> 01:09:54,996
that is extensive,
1969
01:09:54,996 --> 01:09:57,910
for myself, that gives me
a lot of time and energy
1970
01:09:57,910 --> 01:09:59,600
to focus on emotions and feelings,
1971
01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:01,140
and really having that empathy
1972
01:10:01,140 --> 01:10:02,440
and connection with others.
1973
01:10:02,440 --> 01:10:03,940
For those that are really smart,
1974
01:10:03,940 --> 01:10:05,290
perhaps they are more left brained,
1975
01:10:05,290 --> 01:10:06,545
and they think very academically.
1976
01:10:06,545 --> 01:10:08,607
And they can bring in huge changes
1977
01:10:08,607 --> 01:10:10,070
and make great advances,
1978
01:10:10,070 --> 01:10:11,480
and that would be the reason
1979
01:10:11,480 --> 01:10:13,320
that they would choose
those specific traits.
1980
01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:15,039
- It could be any number of purposes.
1981
01:10:15,039 --> 01:10:17,430
A lot of the purpose
1982
01:10:17,430 --> 01:10:19,430
for something like that,
1983
01:10:19,430 --> 01:10:21,177
and the other things
that we're talking about
1984
01:10:21,177 --> 01:10:23,190
has to do with cultivating qualities
1985
01:10:23,190 --> 01:10:25,610
that I call divine virtues.
1986
01:10:25,610 --> 01:10:27,716
Qualities that are important to the soul.
1987
01:10:27,716 --> 01:10:30,660
As you grow in those qualities,
1988
01:10:30,660 --> 01:10:34,162
your growth is your service to the world.
1989
01:10:34,162 --> 01:10:36,810
Service can be overt in the sense
1990
01:10:36,810 --> 01:10:38,890
that you take a volunteer
position somewhere,
1991
01:10:38,890 --> 01:10:39,840
but for most people,
1992
01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:42,392
your form of service is
raising your vibration,
1993
01:10:42,392 --> 01:10:46,017
which means growing in certain
qualities or divine virtue.
1994
01:10:46,017 --> 01:10:49,240
So which virtues could somebody grow in
1995
01:10:49,240 --> 01:10:52,883
as a result of having
low or high intelligence?
1996
01:10:52,883 --> 01:10:54,201
Empathy.
1997
01:10:54,201 --> 01:10:58,091
Low intelligence could be
an incredible opportunity
1998
01:10:58,091 --> 01:11:00,604
to cultivate patience.
1999
01:11:00,604 --> 01:11:03,590
Either one could be a great opportunity
2000
01:11:03,590 --> 01:11:05,006
to cultivate self-love.
2001
01:11:05,006 --> 01:11:06,800
There are just a few,
2002
01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:08,300
and there's probably many more.
2003
01:11:08,300 --> 01:11:11,036
- What about someone
who was extremely poor,
2004
01:11:11,036 --> 01:11:12,958
or someone that's extremely wealthy?
2005
01:11:12,958 --> 01:11:14,537
I'm trying to figure
out what would be the,
2006
01:11:14,537 --> 01:11:16,160
what would be the learning
would be from those?
2007
01:11:16,160 --> 01:11:18,848
- Well, certainly someone who
might struggle financially,
2008
01:11:18,848 --> 01:11:20,380
or have these difficulties,
2009
01:11:20,380 --> 01:11:23,230
or feel as if they have
those difficulties,
2010
01:11:23,230 --> 01:11:25,590
they might need to learn
to rely on family more,
2011
01:11:25,590 --> 01:11:27,560
or themselves, or their relationships
2012
01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:28,710
might be something that they need
2013
01:11:28,710 --> 01:11:30,020
to focus on more than money,
2014
01:11:30,020 --> 01:11:32,380
whereas someone who had a
tremendous amount of wealth
2015
01:11:32,380 --> 01:11:34,630
in their life, they might
be dealing with greed,
2016
01:11:34,630 --> 01:11:37,360
or they might be dealing
with a sense of lacking--
2017
01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:38,280
- Or charity.
2018
01:11:38,280 --> 01:11:39,113
- Or charity.
2019
01:11:39,113 --> 01:11:41,631
And they might not have
as many relationships.
2020
01:11:41,631 --> 01:11:44,376
So that might be an area they
struggle a little bit with.
2021
01:11:44,376 --> 01:11:45,209
- Right.
2022
01:11:46,141 --> 01:11:47,170
Or even valid relationships.
2023
01:11:47,170 --> 01:11:49,400
- Valid relationships,
and certainly wondering
2024
01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:51,179
are you with me because of me,
2025
01:11:51,179 --> 01:11:54,403
or with me because of
what I can give to you.
2026
01:11:54,403 --> 01:11:57,280
There is a big dichotomy in both of these,
2027
01:11:57,280 --> 01:11:59,504
but they each bring very
large gifts to our life.
2028
01:11:59,504 --> 01:12:02,100
- Well in my second
book, "Your Soul's Gift",
2029
01:12:02,100 --> 01:12:04,010
there is an entire chapter
2030
01:12:04,010 --> 01:12:06,617
about someone who plans
to experience poverty.
2031
01:12:06,617 --> 01:12:10,850
And he plans to be born
into a family in Nicaragua,
2032
01:12:10,850 --> 01:12:14,500
which will not have any
financial resources.
2033
01:12:14,500 --> 01:12:16,540
His motivation, primary motivation,
2034
01:12:16,540 --> 01:12:18,112
was actually quite simple.
2035
01:12:18,112 --> 01:12:20,240
The members of his soul group,
2036
01:12:20,240 --> 01:12:22,050
who he wanted to reincarnate with,
2037
01:12:22,050 --> 01:12:24,540
had already planned this
lifetime in Nicaragua
2038
01:12:24,540 --> 01:12:25,870
for purposes of their own.
2039
01:12:25,870 --> 01:12:27,640
The plan was already in place.
2040
01:12:27,640 --> 01:12:29,913
So if he wanted to be
with them, which he did,
2041
01:12:29,913 --> 01:12:32,200
then he had to go along with this
2042
01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:34,010
and accept the impoverishment
2043
01:12:34,010 --> 01:12:35,460
that was going to be a part of it.
2044
01:12:35,460 --> 01:12:38,006
It was really nothing much
more complicated than that.
2045
01:12:38,006 --> 01:12:40,300
But having said that,
2046
01:12:40,300 --> 01:12:41,410
you could learn a lot,
2047
01:12:41,410 --> 01:12:43,910
again, you could cultivate
many of the virtues
2048
01:12:43,910 --> 01:12:47,222
as a result of poverty or extreme wealth.
2049
01:12:47,222 --> 01:12:49,332
Again, empathy,
2050
01:12:49,332 --> 01:12:53,040
compassion for those
who are less fortunate--
2051
01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:53,873
- Oh yeah, compassion.
2052
01:12:53,873 --> 01:12:55,654
- Compassion for those
who are more fortunate.
2053
01:12:55,654 --> 01:12:58,071
(soft music)
2054
01:13:08,879 --> 01:13:09,887
- And physical disabilities.
2055
01:13:09,887 --> 01:13:11,330
- Physical disabilities
2056
01:13:11,330 --> 01:13:14,990
often are about the people who are helping
2057
01:13:14,990 --> 01:13:16,149
the person who's disabled.
2058
01:13:16,149 --> 01:13:18,500
So the disabled person is there
2059
01:13:18,500 --> 01:13:19,605
in a role of service
2060
01:13:19,605 --> 01:13:21,880
giving others the
opportunity to be patient,
2061
01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:25,230
empathetic, compassion, compassionate,
2062
01:13:25,230 --> 01:13:26,910
unconditionally loving, so forth.
2063
01:13:26,910 --> 01:13:28,424
- Right, the caregiver of patient.
2064
01:13:28,424 --> 01:13:32,560
So addictions, like drugs, alcohol,
2065
01:13:32,560 --> 01:13:34,420
I think I had heard you say
2066
01:13:34,420 --> 01:13:36,527
it's one of the more braver ones.
2067
01:13:36,527 --> 01:13:37,740
- I think it is
2068
01:13:37,740 --> 01:13:40,360
because it often involved
tremendous suffering.
2069
01:13:40,360 --> 01:13:42,007
The story in my first book,
2070
01:13:42,007 --> 01:13:43,334
"Your Soul's Plan", about drug addiction
2071
01:13:43,334 --> 01:13:45,598
is about a soul who plans
2072
01:13:45,598 --> 01:13:48,530
prior to birth to have a heroine addiction
2073
01:13:48,530 --> 01:13:51,630
mainly because he had
a number of past lives
2074
01:13:51,630 --> 01:13:53,980
in which he was able to create
2075
01:13:55,333 --> 01:13:57,500
what you could call magical
experiences for himself.
2076
01:13:57,500 --> 01:14:00,727
And the experience of
having the heroine addiction
2077
01:14:00,727 --> 01:14:03,380
recreated a magical feeling,
2078
01:14:03,380 --> 01:14:05,332
or a magical quality for him.
2079
01:14:05,332 --> 01:14:06,911
He wanted to have that experience.
2080
01:14:06,911 --> 01:14:09,279
But he knew it was going to
be tremendously difficult,
2081
01:14:09,279 --> 01:14:11,062
that he would need a lot of support,
2082
01:14:11,062 --> 01:14:13,570
and so the first person he goes to
2083
01:14:13,570 --> 01:14:14,860
in the pre-birth planning session
2084
01:14:14,860 --> 01:14:17,263
is the soul who eventually
became his mother.
2085
01:14:17,263 --> 01:14:18,790
And he says to her, basically
2086
01:14:18,790 --> 01:14:21,800
would you be a soul who shepherds me
2087
01:14:21,800 --> 01:14:23,110
and loves me unconditionally
2088
01:14:23,110 --> 01:14:24,924
through this very difficult experience?
2089
01:14:24,924 --> 01:14:28,593
What we find out is that his future mother
2090
01:14:28,593 --> 01:14:31,560
was actually done with
incarnating on earth.
2091
01:14:31,560 --> 01:14:34,033
She had done, finished
everything she came here to do,
2092
01:14:34,033 --> 01:14:35,430
was ready to go on to something else.
2093
01:14:35,430 --> 01:14:36,839
- She took one for the team.
2094
01:14:36,839 --> 01:14:38,230
- You could put it that way.
2095
01:14:38,230 --> 01:14:39,725
She loved him so much,
2096
01:14:39,725 --> 01:14:41,953
they'd been together many times before.
2097
01:14:43,098 --> 01:14:43,931
She said yes, I'll come back
2098
01:14:43,931 --> 01:14:44,764
even though I don't have to,
2099
01:14:44,764 --> 01:14:45,597
and I'll be your mother,
2100
01:14:45,597 --> 01:14:47,060
and I'll shepherd you through this.
2101
01:14:47,060 --> 01:14:49,310
- Pre-birth planned exit points.
2102
01:14:49,310 --> 01:14:53,359
Do you think that if we pass
that exit point, another--
2103
01:14:53,359 --> 01:14:55,290
- One would be immediate.
2104
01:14:55,290 --> 01:14:57,697
It would be absolutely immediate.
2105
01:14:57,697 --> 01:15:00,043
I've spoken to many people in spirit
2106
01:15:00,043 --> 01:15:03,450
that that time, when they transition fully
2107
01:15:03,450 --> 01:15:05,760
is absolutely the time that
they were supposed to go.
2108
01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:07,337
The manner, the time,
2109
01:15:07,337 --> 01:15:09,780
I speak with a lot of people
2110
01:15:09,780 --> 01:15:11,190
that have died of addiction,
2111
01:15:11,190 --> 01:15:12,483
or transition from addiction.
2112
01:15:12,483 --> 01:15:15,990
And they talk about oh, I
could come back into my body
2113
01:15:15,990 --> 01:15:16,900
last time this happened.
2114
01:15:16,900 --> 01:15:18,420
They've had several overdoses,
2115
01:15:18,420 --> 01:15:20,040
and were able to get back in.
2116
01:15:20,040 --> 01:15:21,850
They said this time I couldn't.
2117
01:15:21,850 --> 01:15:23,510
This time was my exit.
2118
01:15:23,510 --> 01:15:26,420
So I do think there are a few exits
2119
01:15:27,583 --> 01:15:28,447
that are written in,
2120
01:15:28,447 --> 01:15:29,280
but when it does occur,
2121
01:15:29,280 --> 01:15:30,446
it's absolutely because
it was supposed to.
2122
01:15:30,446 --> 01:15:31,279
- Well do you think it's possible
2123
01:15:31,279 --> 01:15:34,230
that we could skip the exit point,
2124
01:15:34,230 --> 01:15:36,410
and then actually a couple weeks later,
2125
01:15:36,410 --> 01:15:37,900
some other situation?
2126
01:15:37,900 --> 01:15:38,810
- Yes, yes.
2127
01:15:38,810 --> 01:15:40,560
But that just means that the exit point
2128
01:15:40,560 --> 01:15:41,980
that was presented to us
2129
01:15:41,980 --> 01:15:43,610
was one that we did not choose.
2130
01:15:43,610 --> 01:15:45,112
I have been shown from my guides,
2131
01:15:45,112 --> 01:15:47,107
there's usually four to five exit point
2132
01:15:47,107 --> 01:15:49,320
soul that one might have in their life.
2133
01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:51,010
If things do get too overwhelming,
2134
01:15:51,010 --> 01:15:54,100
if I am too sick and don't
feel like I can make it,
2135
01:15:54,100 --> 01:15:57,281
if I am grieving and it's too painful,
2136
01:15:57,281 --> 01:15:59,760
or perhaps my soul remembers
2137
01:15:59,760 --> 01:16:02,700
that this was an opportunity to happen,
2138
01:16:02,700 --> 01:16:06,300
perhaps I was a crime,
there was a crime committed,
2139
01:16:06,300 --> 01:16:07,843
a car accident, something,
2140
01:16:07,843 --> 01:16:08,930
I made those agreements
2141
01:16:08,930 --> 01:16:11,300
that there are a few exit
points throughout my life
2142
01:16:11,300 --> 01:16:12,520
that I could possibly take.
2143
01:16:12,520 --> 01:16:13,880
- Okay, so a criminal.
2144
01:16:13,880 --> 01:16:16,841
- I think a criminal
is a great opportunity
2145
01:16:16,841 --> 01:16:18,717
for learning through opposites,
2146
01:16:18,717 --> 01:16:21,510
or a high contrast life plan.
2147
01:16:21,510 --> 01:16:22,920
You would have the opportunity
2148
01:16:22,920 --> 01:16:25,969
from going from service to self,
2149
01:16:25,969 --> 01:16:28,830
potentially to service to others
2150
01:16:28,830 --> 01:16:30,869
depending upon your free will choices.
2151
01:16:30,869 --> 01:16:33,590
So as the criminal,
you start off in a mode
2152
01:16:34,560 --> 01:16:35,393
where it's completely service to self,
2153
01:16:35,393 --> 01:16:36,730
completely self interest.
2154
01:16:36,730 --> 01:16:39,161
And then through whatever
pain and suffering
2155
01:16:39,161 --> 01:16:42,029
that experience engenders
for the criminal,
2156
01:16:42,029 --> 01:16:44,510
hopefully it opens them up,
2157
01:16:44,510 --> 01:16:45,853
breaks their heart open so to speak,
2158
01:16:45,853 --> 01:16:47,980
and then they see, oh yes,
2159
01:16:47,980 --> 01:16:50,137
there's much more to life
than just what I want,
2160
01:16:50,137 --> 01:16:51,467
just what I need.
2161
01:16:51,467 --> 01:16:53,340
How can I use this service,
2162
01:16:53,340 --> 01:16:55,233
this experience to be
of service to others?
2163
01:16:55,233 --> 01:16:57,060
- They might plan to be a criminal
2164
01:16:57,060 --> 01:16:58,517
because someone was a criminal to them,
2165
01:16:58,517 --> 01:17:00,982
or they might want to
experience the judicial system,
2166
01:17:00,982 --> 01:17:03,350
or they might find that you know,
2167
01:17:03,350 --> 01:17:04,410
here's my criminal act.
2168
01:17:04,410 --> 01:17:06,455
There are people in
prison or the jail system
2169
01:17:06,455 --> 01:17:08,320
that I get my soul can help,
2170
01:17:08,320 --> 01:17:10,360
that I could not have had
this experience any other way.
2171
01:17:10,360 --> 01:17:11,894
If I've done something wrong
2172
01:17:11,894 --> 01:17:14,221
in one physical incarnation,
2173
01:17:14,221 --> 01:17:15,790
chances are very good
2174
01:17:15,790 --> 01:17:17,390
that I'm gonna wanna come back
2175
01:17:17,390 --> 01:17:19,334
and have that balance of that experience.
2176
01:17:19,334 --> 01:17:23,521
- Why would we purposely
plan trauma for ourselves?
2177
01:17:23,521 --> 01:17:25,030
- Oh that's a great question.
2178
01:17:25,030 --> 01:17:27,054
I think most of us plan
trauma for ourselves
2179
01:17:27,054 --> 01:17:30,403
to have that experience and
know what it feels like,
2180
01:17:31,254 --> 01:17:32,168
so we can have that
compassion and understanding
2181
01:17:32,168 --> 01:17:33,350
not only for ourself,
2182
01:17:33,350 --> 01:17:34,670
but for the perpetrator.
2183
01:17:34,670 --> 01:17:36,616
That's the ultimate goal is
to have an understanding.
2184
01:17:36,616 --> 01:17:40,150
I've had many clients that
have had trauma in their life
2185
01:17:40,150 --> 01:17:42,420
and I work with them
until we get to a point
2186
01:17:42,420 --> 01:17:43,671
where we can have compassion
2187
01:17:43,671 --> 01:17:45,010
for that offender.
2188
01:17:45,010 --> 01:17:46,380
It doesn't mean that we,
2189
01:17:46,380 --> 01:17:48,243
it doesn't mean that
we excuse the act ever.
2190
01:17:48,243 --> 01:17:51,198
But we see the pain and
the trauma in their life,
2191
01:17:51,198 --> 01:17:53,020
and we really get to a point
2192
01:17:53,020 --> 01:17:54,250
where we're going to end that.
2193
01:17:54,250 --> 01:17:55,320
That's the goal.
2194
01:17:55,320 --> 01:17:56,400
I'll experience this,
2195
01:17:56,400 --> 01:17:58,849
but I won't have it carry on
to any future generations.
2196
01:17:58,849 --> 01:18:00,520
I won't continue that victimhood.
2197
01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:02,980
You'll remember a number of years ago,
2198
01:18:02,980 --> 01:18:06,070
there was a huge tsunami
that hit south east Asia.
2199
01:18:06,070 --> 01:18:06,903
- Right.
2200
01:18:06,903 --> 01:18:08,488
- There were about 100,000
people who died in that.
2201
01:18:08,488 --> 01:18:10,334
So I've asked about that.
2202
01:18:10,334 --> 01:18:13,500
And what I was told in
the channeling sessions
2203
01:18:13,500 --> 01:18:16,503
was that those 100,000 or so souls
2204
01:18:16,503 --> 01:18:18,460
wanted before they were born
2205
01:18:18,460 --> 01:18:21,220
for the earth to be at
a particular vibration
2206
01:18:21,220 --> 01:18:22,906
by a certain point in linear time.
2207
01:18:22,906 --> 01:18:25,620
And they all agreed that
if it looks like the earth
2208
01:18:25,620 --> 01:18:26,750
is not going to get there
2209
01:18:26,750 --> 01:18:28,035
by that point in linear time,
2210
01:18:28,035 --> 01:18:30,450
they we agree to give our lives
2211
01:18:30,450 --> 01:18:32,410
in this large scale natural disaster
2212
01:18:32,410 --> 01:18:34,528
because we know the result of that
2213
01:18:34,528 --> 01:18:37,700
will be a worldwide outpouring
of love and compassion
2214
01:18:37,700 --> 01:18:39,768
that will elevate the
frequency of the whole planet.
2215
01:18:39,768 --> 01:18:41,457
Well that's exactly what happened.
2216
01:18:41,457 --> 01:18:43,710
You had all the governments of the world
2217
01:18:44,792 --> 01:18:45,702
temporarily put aside their differences
2218
01:18:45,702 --> 01:18:48,078
to funnel aid into southeast Asia.
2219
01:18:48,078 --> 01:18:50,410
That outpouring of love and compassion
2220
01:18:50,410 --> 01:18:52,339
raised the vibration of the whole planet.
2221
01:18:52,339 --> 01:18:54,898
So they accomplished exactly
what they wanted to do.
2222
01:18:54,898 --> 01:18:56,990
- Do you think that we would
2223
01:18:56,990 --> 01:18:58,353
purposely plan a life with cancer?
2224
01:18:58,353 --> 01:19:00,602
- I do think that some people
2225
01:19:00,602 --> 01:19:03,070
would choose to have a life with cancer.
2226
01:19:03,070 --> 01:19:04,430
I do think that there are many reasons
2227
01:19:04,430 --> 01:19:05,514
why we get cancer.
2228
01:19:05,514 --> 01:19:08,070
Not dealing with our
emotions while we're here,
2229
01:19:08,070 --> 01:19:08,980
suffering with grief,
2230
01:19:08,980 --> 01:19:10,766
not wanting to be here, finding fear.
2231
01:19:10,766 --> 01:19:14,010
Fear seems to be really a
large attachment to cancer.
2232
01:19:14,010 --> 01:19:15,497
Not being happy with our life.
2233
01:19:15,497 --> 01:19:16,840
But if we have it,
2234
01:19:16,840 --> 01:19:19,466
it's because it's been a
plan for us to come in.
2235
01:19:19,466 --> 01:19:21,590
If I would've had cancer 50 years ago,
2236
01:19:21,590 --> 01:19:23,757
even 40 years ago, my life expectancy,
2237
01:19:23,757 --> 01:19:25,000
and what you could do for me
2238
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:25,960
would be very, very different.
2239
01:19:25,960 --> 01:19:28,185
Now, perhaps the reason
why I chose to have cancer
2240
01:19:28,185 --> 01:19:30,990
was to allow medicine to advance,
2241
01:19:30,990 --> 01:19:32,910
to allow my family to come closer,
2242
01:19:32,910 --> 01:19:35,600
to have an experience of bonding with me,
2243
01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:37,750
perhaps to have a health care worker
2244
01:19:37,750 --> 01:19:38,710
learn something of me.
2245
01:19:38,710 --> 01:19:41,390
It's really, everything is altruistic
2246
01:19:41,390 --> 01:19:42,930
and to help others.
2247
01:19:42,930 --> 01:19:45,519
- So you know, the average pre-birth plan
2248
01:19:45,519 --> 01:19:48,850
is one in which you bring in body
2249
01:19:48,850 --> 01:19:50,840
a certain level of consciousness.
2250
01:19:50,840 --> 01:19:52,444
And for a number of years,
2251
01:19:52,444 --> 01:19:54,900
you make incremental
gains in consciousness.
2252
01:19:54,900 --> 01:19:56,939
So if we're drawing a graph of
your level of consciousness,
2253
01:19:56,939 --> 01:19:59,729
it's going up at a small slope.
2254
01:19:59,729 --> 01:20:01,358
And then, very often,
2255
01:20:01,358 --> 01:20:04,873
the plan calls for a spike in
the level of consciousness.
2256
01:20:04,873 --> 01:20:07,899
The point at which the level
of consciousness spikes
2257
01:20:07,899 --> 01:20:10,674
is a pre-planned inflection point.
2258
01:20:10,674 --> 01:20:12,900
It's most likely a life challenge
2259
01:20:12,900 --> 01:20:14,423
the person planned before they were born
2260
01:20:14,423 --> 01:20:17,070
in the hope that their
level of consciousness
2261
01:20:17,070 --> 01:20:18,300
would spike like that.
2262
01:20:18,300 --> 01:20:19,858
It could be almost anything,
2263
01:20:19,858 --> 01:20:22,696
but given humanity's
current state of evolution,
2264
01:20:22,696 --> 01:20:25,040
certain experiences are chosen
2265
01:20:25,040 --> 01:20:26,550
much more frequently than others
2266
01:20:26,550 --> 01:20:27,610
as inflection points.
2267
01:20:27,610 --> 01:20:29,840
One of the most commonly chosen
2268
01:20:29,840 --> 01:20:31,186
is the death of a loved one.
2269
01:20:31,186 --> 01:20:33,140
If it's not the death of a loved one,
2270
01:20:33,140 --> 01:20:34,540
very often, it's an illness.
2271
01:20:34,540 --> 01:20:36,394
And if it's an illness,
very often it's cancer.
2272
01:20:36,394 --> 01:20:38,670
And then if it's not an illness,
2273
01:20:38,670 --> 01:20:40,150
very often it's an accident,
2274
01:20:40,150 --> 01:20:42,004
which I put in quotes because
it isn't really an accident.
2275
01:20:42,004 --> 01:20:46,347
Those three things are chosen
much more often than others
2276
01:20:46,347 --> 01:20:48,607
as the pre-planned inflection points.
2277
01:20:48,607 --> 01:20:52,514
- What about this, this current,
2278
01:20:52,514 --> 01:20:55,986
you know, United States
obsession with materialism?
2279
01:20:55,986 --> 01:20:56,819
- Right.
2280
01:20:56,819 --> 01:20:58,900
- I'm still trying to wrap my
head around a purpose behind
2281
01:20:58,900 --> 01:21:02,290
such an obsession with materialism.
2282
01:21:02,290 --> 01:21:03,663
- There does seem to be a lot of greed,
2283
01:21:03,663 --> 01:21:06,510
that that is now coming back into fashion.
2284
01:21:06,510 --> 01:21:10,720
I think it's just a feeling of
not being worthy of the self,
2285
01:21:10,720 --> 01:21:13,360
not understanding that you
are good enough as you are,
2286
01:21:13,360 --> 01:21:16,400
and really, that stems
from fear as well too.
2287
01:21:16,400 --> 01:21:18,257
Lack and fear are the same thing.
2288
01:21:18,257 --> 01:21:20,880
Exactly how many pairs
of shoes do we need?
2289
01:21:20,880 --> 01:21:22,428
Don't ask me really
that question because I,
2290
01:21:22,428 --> 01:21:25,440
but when we have a tremendous amount,
2291
01:21:25,440 --> 01:21:26,784
it does become gluttony.
2292
01:21:26,784 --> 01:21:30,660
And at that point, we might
need to experience that,
2293
01:21:30,660 --> 01:21:33,010
but we also might need
to experience having that
2294
01:21:33,010 --> 01:21:35,600
coming to the realization
that we don't need this much
2295
01:21:35,600 --> 01:21:36,820
and then giving it away.
2296
01:21:36,820 --> 01:21:38,320
That seems to be a reason why someone
2297
01:21:38,320 --> 01:21:39,523
might deal with greed as well too.
2298
01:21:39,523 --> 01:21:41,197
- Sometimes I wonder if materialism,
2299
01:21:41,197 --> 01:21:44,392
you know, acquiring as many personal items
2300
01:21:44,392 --> 01:21:47,009
stems back to 50 years ago when--
2301
01:21:47,009 --> 01:21:48,070
- There was none.
2302
01:21:48,070 --> 01:21:49,071
Like the Depression.
2303
01:21:49,071 --> 01:21:52,120
I think that is in such our cellular DNA,
2304
01:21:52,120 --> 01:21:54,060
it's passed, it's stories passed down,
2305
01:21:54,060 --> 01:21:55,536
maybe a grandparent, a great grandparent--
2306
01:21:55,536 --> 01:21:56,369
- Sure.
2307
01:21:56,369 --> 01:21:57,300
- Coming in--
- Lack of food.
2308
01:21:57,300 --> 01:21:58,370
- [Isabella] Lack, lack--
2309
01:21:58,370 --> 01:21:59,203
- Lack of car.
2310
01:21:59,203 --> 01:22:00,840
You gotta walk to your job.
2311
01:22:00,840 --> 01:22:03,570
- It's really needing to be so prepared,
2312
01:22:03,570 --> 01:22:05,793
I think because we take on so much.
2313
01:22:07,210 --> 01:22:09,208
Souls are taking on more
now than ever before--
2314
01:22:09,208 --> 01:22:10,153
- Really?
2315
01:22:10,153 --> 01:22:10,986
- In a time of creation,
2316
01:22:10,986 --> 01:22:11,900
ever, ever, ever before.
2317
01:22:11,900 --> 01:22:13,730
So really, the greed
is not that surprising.
2318
01:22:13,730 --> 01:22:15,625
We just feel that we
need to buffet ourself
2319
01:22:15,625 --> 01:22:17,903
with these physical items
2320
01:22:17,903 --> 01:22:19,880
because other things in our life
2321
01:22:19,880 --> 01:22:20,930
can be so very difficult.
2322
01:22:20,930 --> 01:22:23,144
And if I have a
comfortable, beautiful home,
2323
01:22:23,144 --> 01:22:25,190
maybe I don't need a quarter of that,
2324
01:22:25,190 --> 01:22:26,023
but I have that.
2325
01:22:26,023 --> 01:22:28,025
If I have many cars, or many items,
2326
01:22:28,025 --> 01:22:30,500
it seems to protect me a little bit.
2327
01:22:30,500 --> 01:22:32,274
It seems to just kind of balance it.
2328
01:22:32,274 --> 01:22:33,107
- It's a little more comforting.
2329
01:22:33,107 --> 01:22:34,160
- It is comforting
2330
01:22:34,160 --> 01:22:36,030
when we've taken on so much,
2331
01:22:36,030 --> 01:22:37,860
or taken on so much in this lifetime.
2332
01:22:37,860 --> 01:22:40,110
And again, look back into all of creation.
2333
01:22:40,110 --> 01:22:43,370
When have we ever seen
such amounts of people
2334
01:22:43,370 --> 01:22:45,261
that are dealing with so many issues?
2335
01:22:45,261 --> 01:22:49,957
- I think the focus on materialism
comes from the amnesia.
2336
01:22:49,957 --> 01:22:52,150
So material things
2337
01:22:52,150 --> 01:22:55,276
are only going to be
disproportionately important
2338
01:22:55,276 --> 01:22:57,420
if you're in a state of amnesia.
2339
01:22:57,420 --> 01:22:59,860
If you don't remember your true nature
2340
01:22:59,860 --> 01:23:01,179
as an eternal being,
2341
01:23:01,179 --> 01:23:02,714
and infinite being,
2342
01:23:02,714 --> 01:23:04,374
a being of unconditional love.
2343
01:23:04,374 --> 01:23:07,846
If all of your self identity
2344
01:23:07,846 --> 01:23:11,177
is determined by your body, your thoughts,
2345
01:23:11,177 --> 01:23:13,905
your feelings, and the things you have,
2346
01:23:13,905 --> 01:23:18,630
then the things you have
become tremendously important.
2347
01:23:18,630 --> 01:23:20,740
So I think it's a natural result
2348
01:23:20,740 --> 01:23:24,360
of the amnesia that most people
bring into body with them.
2349
01:23:24,360 --> 01:23:26,875
- What paths would we
all choose, you know?
2350
01:23:26,875 --> 01:23:28,750
I think about that often,
2351
01:23:28,750 --> 01:23:30,254
like would you choose the easiest path?
2352
01:23:30,254 --> 01:23:31,760
Would you choose the path
2353
01:23:31,760 --> 01:23:33,740
that was already laid out before you?
2354
01:23:33,740 --> 01:23:34,810
Would you use the path
2355
01:23:34,810 --> 01:23:36,306
that you see no obstructions in your way?
2356
01:23:36,306 --> 01:23:37,230
- Sure.
2357
01:23:37,230 --> 01:23:38,630
- Or would you make it an adventure
2358
01:23:38,630 --> 01:23:39,890
to where you would have to learn,
2359
01:23:39,890 --> 01:23:41,280
and grow, and evolve
2360
01:23:41,280 --> 01:23:43,325
to where like this one isn't as worn.
2361
01:23:43,325 --> 01:23:45,433
We don't know what lies there.
2362
01:23:45,433 --> 01:23:49,062
And I want to say fortunately
and unfortunately sometimes,
2363
01:23:49,062 --> 01:23:51,740
my spirit would choose the path
2364
01:23:51,740 --> 01:23:52,984
that not everybody walked down.
2365
01:23:52,984 --> 01:23:55,340
And call me silly, call me stupid,
2366
01:23:55,340 --> 01:23:57,677
but it just would, it felt like
2367
01:23:57,677 --> 01:24:00,763
I would receive more teaching
2368
01:24:00,763 --> 01:24:04,950
by going down the path
that wasn't all ready--
2369
01:24:04,950 --> 01:24:05,880
- Comfortable.
- Traveled on.
2370
01:24:05,880 --> 01:24:08,297
(soft music)
2371
01:24:16,560 --> 01:24:17,433
- Okay, so,
2372
01:24:18,710 --> 01:24:20,900
a person that's been violated.
2373
01:24:20,900 --> 01:24:22,750
- There are actually two chapters
2374
01:24:22,750 --> 01:24:24,270
in "You Soul's Gift" on this subject.
2375
01:24:24,270 --> 01:24:25,710
One is about incest.
2376
01:24:25,710 --> 01:24:27,080
The other is about rape.
2377
01:24:27,080 --> 01:24:27,980
- Yeah.
2378
01:24:27,980 --> 01:24:30,909
- There are all kinds of
things that a soul could learn.
2379
01:24:30,909 --> 01:24:34,215
The main thing there being
forgiveness, of course.
2380
01:24:34,215 --> 01:24:37,250
It's a phenomenal opportunity
2381
01:24:37,250 --> 01:24:38,793
to cultivate forgiveness.
2382
01:24:39,840 --> 01:24:40,930
And every time a person forgives,
2383
01:24:40,930 --> 01:24:43,260
no matter how big or small it might be,
2384
01:24:43,260 --> 01:24:46,429
that elevates the frequency
of that person's soul.
2385
01:24:46,429 --> 01:24:49,405
So it's an experience
that many, many people
2386
01:24:49,405 --> 01:24:52,212
plan to have, or have the opportunity for
2387
01:24:52,212 --> 01:24:54,100
when they come into body.
2388
01:24:54,100 --> 01:24:57,138
An interesting side note,
2389
01:24:57,138 --> 01:25:00,982
in the story about rape
in "Your Soul's Gift",
2390
01:25:00,982 --> 01:25:04,065
the woman who experiences the rape,
2391
01:25:04,065 --> 01:25:05,430
her name is Beverly.
2392
01:25:05,430 --> 01:25:08,174
She's abducted by the
rapist from a parking lot.
2393
01:25:08,174 --> 01:25:11,122
And he takes her back to his home.
2394
01:25:11,122 --> 01:25:13,552
That's where the rape takes place.
2395
01:25:13,552 --> 01:25:16,500
And then they're in bed together.
2396
01:25:16,500 --> 01:25:17,990
He falls asleep
2397
01:25:17,990 --> 01:25:19,148
and while he's sleeping,
2398
01:25:19,148 --> 01:25:22,300
she starts to tiptoe out of the bed
2399
01:25:22,300 --> 01:25:23,750
and make her escape.
2400
01:25:23,750 --> 01:25:25,360
Well as she's getting to the door,
2401
01:25:25,360 --> 01:25:28,010
and just about to be free,
2402
01:25:28,010 --> 01:25:30,230
she turns back around, walks back to him,
2403
01:25:30,230 --> 01:25:33,095
gives I'm a kiss on the
cheek while he's sleeping
2404
01:25:33,095 --> 01:25:35,000
and then she leaves.
2405
01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:37,170
And we talked about this at length
2406
01:25:37,170 --> 01:25:40,050
in the research for that chapter.
2407
01:25:40,050 --> 01:25:41,558
And the conclusion we came to
2408
01:25:41,558 --> 01:25:45,210
is that the rapist is a soul
2409
01:25:45,210 --> 01:25:47,077
that she's had many past lives with.
2410
01:25:47,077 --> 01:25:49,061
They're probably in the same soul group.
2411
01:25:49,061 --> 01:25:52,790
And there's a lot of, actually
a lot of love between them
2412
01:25:52,790 --> 01:25:55,170
from the past lives in
which they've been together.
2413
01:25:55,170 --> 01:25:57,810
So this was a role that she scripted
2414
01:25:57,810 --> 01:25:59,880
that he was playing in service to her,
2415
01:25:59,880 --> 01:26:02,310
as hard as that may be to
wrap one's mind around.
2416
01:26:02,310 --> 01:26:03,847
- So in a metaphor, she was thanking him.
2417
01:26:03,847 --> 01:26:04,900
- She was thanking him.
2418
01:26:04,900 --> 01:26:06,580
- Did you straight out ask her
2419
01:26:06,580 --> 01:26:07,860
why did she turn around and give the kiss?
2420
01:26:07,860 --> 01:26:09,140
Or was this?
2421
01:26:09,140 --> 01:26:10,680
- No, I did ask her.
2422
01:26:10,680 --> 01:26:13,737
And I don't recall exactly
how she phrased the answer.
2423
01:26:13,737 --> 01:26:17,840
But my sense was that initially
2424
01:26:17,840 --> 01:26:19,130
when we started talking about it,
2425
01:26:19,130 --> 01:26:21,549
she was sort of fuzzy as
to why she had done this.
2426
01:26:21,549 --> 01:26:24,028
And then as we processed it together,
2427
01:26:24,028 --> 01:26:25,960
it made sense to her
2428
01:26:25,960 --> 01:26:28,210
that this was probably a
member of her soul group.
2429
01:26:28,210 --> 01:26:29,850
And there was already a
lot of love between them
2430
01:26:29,850 --> 01:26:31,240
from past lives.
2431
01:26:31,240 --> 01:26:33,142
- I have had clients before
2432
01:26:33,142 --> 01:26:35,755
that have lost children to violence.
2433
01:26:35,755 --> 01:26:37,920
And when the child came through,
2434
01:26:37,920 --> 01:26:39,910
they informed me very, very clearly
2435
01:26:39,910 --> 01:26:41,558
that they had agreed to this act.
2436
01:26:41,558 --> 01:26:43,636
They had come in to have that experience,
2437
01:26:43,636 --> 01:26:46,490
said that that person
could choose to do better,
2438
01:26:46,490 --> 01:26:47,390
or would've chosen.
2439
01:26:47,390 --> 01:26:49,093
No judgment that the
person didn't do better.
2440
01:26:49,093 --> 01:26:51,310
And that they had agreed to that.
2441
01:26:51,310 --> 01:26:52,983
And it was really an understanding,
2442
01:26:52,983 --> 01:26:54,550
they'll get it next time.
2443
01:26:54,550 --> 01:26:55,970
They were actually cheering on,
2444
01:26:55,970 --> 01:26:57,130
I don't know if you wanna,
2445
01:26:57,130 --> 01:26:58,170
but like that's true.
2446
01:26:58,170 --> 01:26:59,390
They were really cheering on
2447
01:26:59,390 --> 01:27:00,870
and had nothing but compassion
2448
01:27:00,870 --> 01:27:02,040
for their violator.
2449
01:27:02,040 --> 01:27:03,725
If we come in and have that experience,
2450
01:27:03,725 --> 01:27:06,720
I believer so truly that we've done that
2451
01:27:06,720 --> 01:27:08,670
completely for the other person's benefit,
2452
01:27:08,670 --> 01:27:10,030
for their growth, for their soul--
2453
01:27:10,030 --> 01:27:11,058
- So it sounds like we
know this perpetrator?
2454
01:27:11,058 --> 01:27:12,920
- We absolutely do know.
2455
01:27:12,920 --> 01:27:13,960
Even if we don't--
2456
01:27:13,960 --> 01:27:14,869
- Maybe not in this life, yeah.
2457
01:27:14,869 --> 01:27:17,456
- We've made the agreement pre-birth
2458
01:27:17,456 --> 01:27:19,017
to have that experience.
2459
01:27:19,017 --> 01:27:22,896
The opportunity for
that experience exists.
2460
01:27:22,896 --> 01:27:23,729
- Wow.
2461
01:27:23,729 --> 01:27:25,160
- Our hope is that it
doesn't come to fruition,
2462
01:27:25,160 --> 01:27:26,802
but if it does, we've agreed to that.
2463
01:27:26,802 --> 01:27:28,250
- That's gonna be difficult
2464
01:27:28,250 --> 01:27:29,468
for people to wrap their head around.
2465
01:27:29,468 --> 01:27:30,301
- I think so.
2466
01:27:30,301 --> 01:27:31,134
- [Craig] Yeah.
2467
01:27:31,134 --> 01:27:31,967
- But it's--
- It's true.
2468
01:27:31,967 --> 01:27:32,865
- It is true.
2469
01:27:32,865 --> 01:27:35,282
(soft music)
2470
01:27:36,300 --> 01:27:38,670
- What's your advice on
someone that's going through
2471
01:27:38,670 --> 01:27:41,750
a particular amount of
suffering right now?
2472
01:27:41,750 --> 01:27:44,750
- My advice would be to ask
yourself the valid question.
2473
01:27:44,750 --> 01:27:48,611
Ask yourself if I planned this
experience before I was born,
2474
01:27:48,611 --> 01:27:50,831
why might I have done that.
2475
01:27:50,831 --> 01:27:52,650
'Cause when you ask that question,
2476
01:27:52,650 --> 01:27:54,241
when you phrase it in that particular way,
2477
01:27:54,241 --> 01:27:56,130
it doesn't require you
2478
01:27:56,130 --> 01:27:58,520
to actually believe in pre-birth planning,
2479
01:27:58,520 --> 01:28:00,220
and yet it takes you right away
2480
01:28:00,220 --> 01:28:03,810
into an exploration of deeper
meaning and deeper purpose.
2481
01:28:03,810 --> 01:28:05,930
And once you understand the deeper meaning
2482
01:28:05,930 --> 01:28:07,020
or deeper purpose,
2483
01:28:07,020 --> 01:28:08,500
even if you don't
believe you've planned it
2484
01:28:08,500 --> 01:28:09,663
before you were born,
2485
01:28:09,663 --> 01:28:12,949
that in and of itself alleviates
a lot of the suffering.
2486
01:28:12,949 --> 01:28:14,853
A lot of suffering comes from
2487
01:28:14,853 --> 01:28:17,193
not just an unpleasant experience,
2488
01:28:17,193 --> 01:28:20,390
but the fact that people
don't see any deeper meaning
2489
01:28:20,390 --> 01:28:22,017
or purpose to the experience.
- Right.
2490
01:28:22,017 --> 01:28:24,710
- Once you get to the
deeper meaning and purpose,
2491
01:28:24,710 --> 01:28:26,307
a lot of the suffering is alleviated.
2492
01:28:26,307 --> 01:28:28,160
And then you can learn those lessons
2493
01:28:28,160 --> 01:28:29,701
in a much more conscious manner.
2494
01:28:29,701 --> 01:28:32,479
- Well, I think if someone in particular
2495
01:28:32,479 --> 01:28:35,037
is going through a lot of suffering,
2496
01:28:35,037 --> 01:28:36,909
I think we're coming back to trust again.
2497
01:28:36,909 --> 01:28:39,377
If you can trust your soul,
2498
01:28:39,377 --> 01:28:41,400
knows what it's doing.
2499
01:28:41,400 --> 01:28:43,020
There's gotta be a reason for it.
2500
01:28:43,020 --> 01:28:44,520
- And it's more than
just trust of the soul.
2501
01:28:44,520 --> 01:28:45,930
It's trust of the universe,
2502
01:28:45,930 --> 01:28:48,644
which would include your guides, angels--
2503
01:28:48,644 --> 01:28:50,087
- All the parties involved, yeah.
2504
01:28:50,087 --> 01:28:51,330
- Divinity.
2505
01:28:51,330 --> 01:28:53,683
Trust that the universe is a loving place.
2506
01:28:53,683 --> 01:28:56,770
Trust that you are loved by the universe.
2507
01:28:56,770 --> 01:28:58,767
Trust that you are adored by the universe.
2508
01:28:58,767 --> 01:29:02,100
Trust that there is purpose in
everything that's happening.
2509
01:29:02,100 --> 01:29:04,070
- Your soul has chosen to go through this.
2510
01:29:04,070 --> 01:29:05,500
It will absolutely end.
2511
01:29:05,500 --> 01:29:07,630
There are lessons that
you can learn from this.
2512
01:29:07,630 --> 01:29:09,800
This was for your soul's growth.
2513
01:29:09,800 --> 01:29:11,300
This was for the help and growth
2514
01:29:11,300 --> 01:29:12,970
of those souls around you that you love,
2515
01:29:12,970 --> 01:29:14,820
perhaps those that you
don't even know yet.
2516
01:29:14,820 --> 01:29:15,840
You will come out of it.
2517
01:29:15,840 --> 01:29:16,673
You will learn.
2518
01:29:16,673 --> 01:29:19,475
And you absolutely will be
stronger because of this.
2519
01:29:19,475 --> 01:29:22,120
There is nothing that's too overwhelming
2520
01:29:22,120 --> 01:29:23,250
that we can't make it through.
2521
01:29:23,250 --> 01:29:24,750
- And I actually admire them
2522
01:29:24,750 --> 01:29:26,075
because they're so brave.
2523
01:29:26,075 --> 01:29:28,350
- It does take a lot of bravery
2524
01:29:28,350 --> 01:29:29,590
to continue to be here,
2525
01:29:29,590 --> 01:29:31,310
to continue to get up every morning
2526
01:29:31,310 --> 01:29:32,270
when we don't feel like it,
2527
01:29:32,270 --> 01:29:34,480
when we are grieving,
hurting or are in pain.
2528
01:29:34,480 --> 01:29:36,942
It's very difficult to
go and just keep going.
2529
01:29:36,942 --> 01:29:39,455
I ask that you continue to do that.
2530
01:29:39,455 --> 01:29:40,927
It does get better.
2531
01:29:40,927 --> 01:29:43,732
(soft music)
2532
01:29:43,732 --> 01:29:45,150
- [Craig] The value of the pre-birth plan
2533
01:29:45,150 --> 01:29:46,340
became important to me
2534
01:29:46,340 --> 01:29:49,759
when I began to consider my life review.
2535
01:29:49,759 --> 01:29:52,710
- My understanding of what is
happening in the life review
2536
01:29:52,710 --> 01:29:56,534
is that you are doing it
with your guides right there,
2537
01:29:56,534 --> 01:29:59,210
and they are providing you
2538
01:29:59,210 --> 01:30:01,349
with unconditional love and support,
2539
01:30:01,349 --> 01:30:05,540
which you will need when you
see some of the decisions
2540
01:30:05,540 --> 01:30:07,057
that you now wish you had not made,
2541
01:30:07,057 --> 01:30:10,253
particularly those in which
you've hurt other beings.
2542
01:30:11,640 --> 01:30:14,330
And the viewing of the life review,
2543
01:30:14,330 --> 01:30:15,210
as I understand it,
2544
01:30:15,210 --> 01:30:19,460
is not generally in a
chronological order from childhood
2545
01:30:19,460 --> 01:30:22,700
up until senior adult.
2546
01:30:22,700 --> 01:30:25,430
It's done in terms of theme and vibration.
2547
01:30:25,430 --> 01:30:26,435
In other words,
2548
01:30:26,435 --> 01:30:29,333
let's say that you were
working on compassion.
2549
01:30:29,333 --> 01:30:32,900
So you would be shown a number of scenes
2550
01:30:32,900 --> 01:30:34,710
in which you were highly compassionate
2551
01:30:34,710 --> 01:30:37,719
on down to totally lacking in compassion.
2552
01:30:37,719 --> 01:30:39,732
That would be the lowest
vibrational scene.
2553
01:30:39,732 --> 01:30:42,522
And you're shown them
in order of vibration.
2554
01:30:42,522 --> 01:30:44,790
So you might start with
the lowest vibration
2555
01:30:44,790 --> 01:30:46,700
where there was no compassion
and work your way up,
2556
01:30:46,700 --> 01:30:48,102
or do it the other way.
2557
01:30:48,102 --> 01:30:49,980
But you're seeing these scenes
2558
01:30:49,980 --> 01:30:52,194
that are along the theme of compassion
2559
01:30:52,194 --> 01:30:56,500
to show you how you grew or
did not grow in compassion
2560
01:30:56,500 --> 01:30:57,450
when you were there.
2561
01:30:57,450 --> 01:30:58,890
And then you can make a decision,
2562
01:30:58,890 --> 01:31:00,378
in my next incarnation,
2563
01:31:00,378 --> 01:31:03,470
I would like to continue
working on compassion
2564
01:31:03,470 --> 01:31:05,755
because I didn't cultivate
it as much as I'd hoped,
2565
01:31:05,755 --> 01:31:09,368
or I did a great job in that lifetime.
2566
01:31:09,368 --> 01:31:12,811
I really came to a place
of tremendous compassion.
2567
01:31:12,811 --> 01:31:14,790
I feel complete with that lesson.
2568
01:31:14,790 --> 01:31:16,400
I wanna go on to something else now.
2569
01:31:16,400 --> 01:31:18,932
- We will experience not
only our own life review,
2570
01:31:18,932 --> 01:31:20,830
but we will experience the way
2571
01:31:20,830 --> 01:31:23,115
that we have made everyone feel.
2572
01:31:23,115 --> 01:31:26,510
We have to experience their
emotions through our eyes.
2573
01:31:26,510 --> 01:31:28,280
If I've done something good to you,
2574
01:31:28,280 --> 01:31:29,489
I get to experience that in spirit.
2575
01:31:29,489 --> 01:31:31,730
If I've hurt you, I get to experience
2576
01:31:31,730 --> 01:31:32,957
not only how that's affected you,
2577
01:31:32,957 --> 01:31:35,790
but how it's affected
the down trickle of that,
2578
01:31:35,790 --> 01:31:36,623
like how it's affected the way
2579
01:31:36,623 --> 01:31:38,153
that you might treat your
partner, your friends.
2580
01:31:38,153 --> 01:31:40,833
I maybe created fear in your life.
2581
01:31:40,833 --> 01:31:42,756
I have to experience that,
2582
01:31:42,756 --> 01:31:45,807
and that can be very uncomfortable.
2583
01:31:45,807 --> 01:31:48,260
So I will usually come back in
2584
01:31:48,260 --> 01:31:50,615
and agree to have that
experience done to me.
2585
01:31:50,615 --> 01:31:52,301
- It's really difficult for people
2586
01:31:52,301 --> 01:31:54,140
to wrap their head around it.
2587
01:31:54,140 --> 01:31:56,010
And I think there's timing.
2588
01:31:56,010 --> 01:31:57,130
- It took this time
2589
01:31:57,130 --> 01:31:59,590
for there to be enough
receptive spiritual people
2590
01:31:59,590 --> 01:32:01,172
to be open to hearing this message.
2591
01:32:01,172 --> 01:32:04,255
And in 83, I was reading in 83.
2592
01:32:04,255 --> 01:32:05,700
I was talking to people.
2593
01:32:05,700 --> 01:32:07,300
And I didn't have anybody
2594
01:32:07,300 --> 01:32:08,990
that I could talk to a
pre-birth plan about.
2595
01:32:08,990 --> 01:32:10,510
Nobody was, nobody could even,
2596
01:32:10,510 --> 01:32:11,587
is my loved one okay.
2597
01:32:11,587 --> 01:32:12,844
That's as far as they could get.
2598
01:32:12,844 --> 01:32:14,097
- That makes sense.
2599
01:32:14,097 --> 01:32:15,041
- As far as they could expand.
2600
01:32:15,041 --> 01:32:15,874
- [Craig] I'm glad you said that.
2601
01:32:15,874 --> 01:32:16,707
- They couldn't do anything else.
2602
01:32:16,707 --> 01:32:18,143
So it's no wonder that in 83 it stopped.
2603
01:32:18,143 --> 01:32:20,268
It wasn't the time.
2604
01:32:20,268 --> 01:32:23,320
(soft music)
2605
01:32:23,320 --> 01:32:24,820
- [Craig] I can understand how the idea
2606
01:32:24,820 --> 01:32:26,951
of a pre-birth plan could
rattle some cages out there.
2607
01:32:26,951 --> 01:32:29,353
But from my own experience,
2608
01:32:29,353 --> 01:32:32,064
out of all the virtues
that I've been working on,
2609
01:32:32,064 --> 01:32:34,090
the pre-birth plan
2610
01:32:34,090 --> 01:32:36,250
actually helps me in mastering them.
2611
01:32:37,117 --> 01:32:39,534
(soft music)
2612
01:32:49,875 --> 01:32:52,625
(dramatic music)
