Reincarnation: ones past actions determines ones future

I do not believe ones memory of past lives is very accurate! Hypnotism is not that reliable because people will be creative in order to please the hypnotist! The main thing is that the beginning of this life will let you know the situation that your past lives led you into! One will draw people and conditions into your life similar to the ones you had at the end of your last life! People have a certain level of toxicity or abuse that they are willing to accept! It takes hard spiritual work to move to a heathier less toxic/abusive spiritual state so that one will attract higher quality people, a healthier lifestyle and a heathier environment to exist in!

We draw our future to us based on how well we have learned from the past and the character we have developed as a result of our past efforts to improve ourselves. The past is meant to be learned from and then left behind! We need our energy very much in the present and geared toward making the future a better one! If we have worked really hard in the past to improve our spiritual well being it will become part of our character and reap dividends in the future! How well we have done in our past relationships with others will contribute to how well we are able to treat others in the future. The ability to figure out or sense what people are heathy for you is a very important skill to have!!!

Aliens from outer space will not come here and bail us out!!!!

I strongly believe most of us have had past lives elsewhere in the universe! That a lot of us have past incarnations on planets at similar levels of development as the Earth! But, some have come from incarnations on planets more advanced than the Earth! That an awful lot of us are still connected spiritually to spirits we met in past lives who are now living elsewhere in this universe. That is is so important that we focus on getting our act together on this planet and not believe we are going to be “saved” by some aliens arriving here via spaceship from elsewhere in this universe. That we the inhabitants of this Earth are the ones responsible for the state our planet we exist on is in and the future state it will be in!

Why does God let bad things happen?

We are responsible for the spiritual climate that exists(not God) here on this Earth. If we do not handle sex very well on this planet, rape and other forms of sexual abuse will occur, along with all kind of other harmful consequences resulting from acting irresponsibly in this area. We live in a violent world, since we are not willing to make the strong effort required to try to understand and get along with others who see this world from a different perspective from us. Anger often is misdirected leading to all kinds of harmful/destructive results in this world. Anger can be directed in a constructive way toward improving the spiritual conditions that exist on this planet, but so often it comes out in irrational and destructive way that can lead to people victimizing others.

 

It is so easy to get in serious trouble in this world with so many people not being that much in control of their behavior and not good at directing themselves emotionally/spiritually in a positive way. We can train ourselves to become stronger and more aware spiritually(get a stronger spiritual connection with reality and God)through:

1. Working to improve ones spiritual beliefs so they help us to better handle the challenging physical reality we exist in.

2. Keeping up on all the serious issues and problems that exist in this world and trying to do ones part to contribute what one can to make this world a better place.

3. Focus on using and improving ones spiritual radar/intuition so as to be able to better sense when one safety is in danger from other people or from circumstances. One can not sense danger if one is not well informed as to all of the likely danger one could face in a given situation or circumstance.

4. Improving ones diet and getting enough quality physical exercise so that one will be really healthy, since being healthy will help one handle a lot more of the challenges of life more effectively and also help one to handle the spiritual/emotional stress that comes from taking on the really strong spiritual challenges life presents us with.

5. Use effective meditative techniques including meditative movement exercises that when done intensely enough put one in very difficult spiritual/emotional states, so that one can learn to better handle such states and the emotions that come with them. One can train oneself to handle all emotions in a positive/constructive way.  I have a wordpress post on meditative/mind body exercises.

The reality that God(the universal spirit) maintains for us is set up to serve us very well, provided we do the required work to become effective at dealing with its challenges. These challenges can bring out the most in us spiritually and test how well our spiritual beliefs really work. We can become a lot more capable spiritually on this planet and can improve the spiritual climate that exists here. This Earth is our spiritual responsibility. God will help, provided we do our very vital part.

The Element Earth in Astrology and Fear

In spiritual groups I find people often have a problem with the element EARTH in astrology. The spiritual is most connected with the element WATER which is the opposite of EARTH. The element Earth does tend to be linked with the emotion of FEAR. People do well to fear negative/harmful consequences. Fear is hard to handle well, and one has to strong spiritually in order to handle it effectively. The spiritually weak will tend to have a lot of reasons to be fearful.

I do tend to be very much dominated by an inborn spiritual focus which make it hard for me to keep really grounded so I can be really effective in this physical world. If I just relax and go with the flow, which is a tendency among people with a spiritual emphasis, I tend to mess up when it comes to dealing with the physical(due to my disabilities-poor finer motor skills, limited visual and long term memory). Right now most of my limited visual memory is being used to deal with the internet and my astrology system. This make it even harder for me to handle the other physical things, that I must deal with in order to survive. But, my spiritual focus is what is the main thing that has helped me survive as long as I have on this Earth. It is amazing I have survived this long based on my insecure position in this world.

Fear does help me to take care of my responsibilities related to where I live. Fear that the foundation of the house will have problems makes me water around the house periodically during the drought. This is what people in Texas have to do because of the type of soil we have. Fear that the grass will die motivates me to water the lawn. Fear that my body and mind will not perform as well and my skin will break out, makes me stay on my strict calorie restricted diet. When I post on the internet I try to work things really carefully out of fear I will be misunderstood or will scare people away from me. This fear can be quite automatic at times with me finding it very tricky to communicate certain things because I know how people will tend to react. Fear of the consequences of not being strong enough spiritually keeps me training really hard with my meditative exercises.

Prevention does require a certain amount of fear of harmful/unhealthy consequences. I do tend to feel quite relaxed and secure a lot of the time and do not focus or sense fear a lot of the time. I just can access fear when I need it. I feel like I am balanced emotionally, and do not demonize some emotions as being only negative and glorify other emotions as being only positive as some people do.
