  • Weekly Astrological Forecast for June 10 through June 16, 2024

    June 10 through June 16, 2024

    A fairly calm week awaits us, as with no major astrological events on the calendar, our only job will be to align with the changing influences of the Moon. Starting with a Leo Moon on Monday and Tuesday, we'll be focused on having fun and going with the flow. A little patience may be called for on Tuesday, so we'll have to keep our egos in check, even if we know we are right and others are wrong. Detailed work and informational tasks are the theme on Wednesday and Thursday, as the Moon moves through Virgo and heightens our attention and focus. The remainder of the week will be easy and flowing under an equalizing Libra Moon, calling for us to attend all areas of our lives to ascertain where things may be out of balance and take the time to bring them back into alignment.

  • Through Space and Time, We Hold the Power to Our Own Greatness

    Through Space and Time, We Hold the Power to Our Own Greatness,

    by Peter Smith

    (Article originally published in The Llewellyn Journal.)

    We live in a world of distraction, where our mind is occupied most of the time. In the Western world in particular, we have built a lifestyle that embraces both a shortage of time and a focus on doing…rather than being.

    All this prevents us from remembering our magnificence. We are remarkable beyond our wildest dreams, beyond our greatest expectations, and in ways that defy imagination. It is difficult in this human form to touch our magnificence, though it is possible. We simply need to do two things. First, we surrender "time" as we know it to be, and then we surrender our idea of "space."

    Surrendering Time
    In recent years, the practice of mindfulness has received much attention. Mindfulness techniques offer a way to be present in the moment to alleviate the chatter of the mind, reduce stress, and change the thought patterns that trap us in modern life. So often we hold on to things from the past, or worry about the future, and the wonder of the moment at hand is lost. Mindfulness is a wonderful start, though there is more…

    When we completely surrender to the now, we touch a level of spirituality that echoes the eternal self. You see, our souls are very patient and at that level of our being, time is not seen the same way. We will incarnate countless times into the physical, in order to learn, grow, and evolve our own eternal consciousness and help others do so as well.

    When I originally trained as a Hypnotherapist, I was fascinated by time and I found it to be far less restrictive than what I'd thought. Age regression meant I could take a client back in time to discover the source of their distress held from childhood years. Once healed, they were different in the now. I was fascinated by reincarnation and how we could travel to other times and places to explore, heal, and discover ancient wisdoms using the client as a link to other lifetimes.

    However, it was the discovery of the work of Dr. Michael Newton that showed me the power of "now time." In the Spiritual Realm between incarnations, where we undertake the journeys that have come to be known as our "Life Between Lives," we can observe the lineage of our soul in one sweeping glance. We can understand our lifetime of purpose and the patterns we have brought into this incarnation. In this state we have completely surrendered time and can feel the presence of the eternal self that is the real us. In this moment we are beyond time and we are in the magnificence of our soul.

    So I offer to you, that to pause and remember that… you are a spiritual being having a human experience, feeling that as a "knowing" at the core of your being will center you in love and compassion and link you into your magnificence.

    Surrendering Space
    Once we surrender our grip on linear time and see ourselves simply as a necessary construct of the human form in this physical reality, there is another powerful step to take: the surrender of physical space as we know it.

    For decades, Quantum Physics has been challenging our world view, sharing with us that the way sub-atomic particles behave in the miniscule quantum world is totally different from what we observe in the world at large (pun intended).

    In that smaller realm, particles can be in multiple places (non-locality), change their shape and form from intention (observer effect) and communicate instantaneously over large distances (entanglement). The confusing aspect of all this for us is that we are completely made up of these particles ourselves. We have proven through science, mathematics, and often both that the physical reality in which we live is more like a single dimension of a multi-dimensional holographic multiverse, full of other versions of ourselves who took separate paths to create alternate realities. Time to reach for an aspirin…

    Again, the "knowing" can save us, as it doesn't come from the human intellect or the need to analyze or understand exactly how everything has to work. If something is held in the realm of the metaphysical, then no amount of physical thinking is going to bring peace. If we simply surrender to the knowing, accept that there is more to what is unfolding around us than we can see, then it becomes easier.

    For the past twenty years, I have been researching consciousness in its various forms, from best practice consciousness models of human evolution, to expanded states of awareness, to the latest principles of Quantum Physics. What I offer is simply this: we are so much more than we believe ourselves to be. We are amazing, remarkable, multi-dimensional beings that exist quite naturally outside time and space. Again, the evidence is everywhere.

    There are thousands upon thousands of documented examples of Near Death Experiences (NDEs). These people have crossed the veil, only to return to tell us snippets of the afterlife they observed, though something even more profound can be found in these survivors. They have a different view of life; they know exactly where they are going when the role of this incarnation is completed. They know what it is like to surrender space as we know it and feel a different plane of existence. They remain forever changed and touch the hearts and minds of the people with whom they are close. To those they love, they offer an eyewitness account that there is so much more to come.

    To all these NDEs we add the Life Between Lives clients, another 40,000 cases at last estimate from The Michael Newton Institute, some 800 of which I've had the honor to facilitate personally. Countless past life regression cases from around the world have to be mentioned here as well and there are just too many of those to count.

    Finally, at the Institute for Quantum Consciousness, we have 500 cases on record of clients who have travelled to alternate realities, parallel lives, and experienced their interdimensional consciousness as life forms in other dimensions or on physical planets elsewhere.

    From this growing experiential research across this and other approaches, we are all coming to the same conclusions. Our physical being in this reality is simply an anchor point for our greater consciousness. In a universe made from an infrastructure of pure energy at the subatomic level, our consciousness is non-local (i.e. everywhere) and we simply need to take our awareness to that other place through our intention (observer effect).

    As for the physical body, that is the doorway to all of this. It is made up of certain elements like carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. These elements that can be found in your big toe can also be found throughout the universe, forming star clusters, galaxies, planets, and stars. You are literally walking star dust, held together by an eternal consciousness, here for a sacred, divine purpose to serve humanity in your own unique way.

    So, I'll offer this to you…

    You are a doorway to your magnificence. Pause and reflect…

    Surrender time…and touch your soul, as it is beyond time.

    Surrender space and remember…the multidimensional self that you are and all that offers you. Everything you will ever need is held lovingly within.

    Allow this to bring you peace, in a world with too many shadows and not enough light. Then you will discover that the light that changes everything… is in fact you.

  • Double Vision: Uncovering Past Lives

    Some time ago I met a man I felt a really strong connection to, and it got me thinking about past lives. Suddenly, I feel a very strong need to learn about my past lives and how they may be affecting my current experiences. I bought a book on regression and I asked a friend to help me with the process. She told me she wasn't comfortable with the idea, because she said that exploring past lives can be dangerous if traumatic experiences are recalled. She urged me not to do it, or at least to find someone with lots of experience to guide me through it. I feel like she's making a big deal out of nothing. Do you think it can be dangerous? Also, do you have any advice on how to go about exploring our past lives? Thank you!

    Lillian

    Dreamchaser:

    Some people believe that exploring past lives can be dangerous, and some people think it is perfectly safe. Your friend is obviously one of the ones who feels it is risky.

    I personally feel that if it is done properly, and not as a parlor trick or a form of entertainment, it can be very helpful.

    Your friend is right in one aspect: Sometimes we find out very traumatic or frightening information while exploring previous lives. We were not always happy, well-behaved, or even goodhearted people. We have all had some really horrible lives.

    For example, in one life I was a priestess who threw newborn babies into a volcano as a form of sacrifice. I really felt justified in doing this in that life, but in this life, I find it appalling. You cannot, under any circumstances, expect all your lives to be full of joy, goodness and happiness.

    This man is a catalyst for you to go and find out what you need to know about your past lives. In my own past life journeys, I've found that there are common themes in each lifetime I have lived, including this one.

    The one theme that comes to mind now is that in every lifetime, I lived and died alone. As my regular clients may remember, I am also single in this life and live alone, except for my teenagers, which we all know is LIKE living alone. You will find that a lot of issues, problems, traits, etc., that you have in this life were present in prior lives as well.

    The way that I personally explore past lives is to picture myself walking around in this big field full of wildflowers. I make sure that I am totally present in that field, and then I find the bridge of time.

    It is just a wooden bridge. I always make sure to take the same number of steps over as I take back. I have heard that you can warp time if you do not count and use the same number of steps. I don't know if that is true, but I'd rather not find out the hard way.

    When I get over the bridge, I look down at my feet and see what gender and color I am. I then look around at where I am and who and what is around me. Then I start to walk around and ask questions about who I am and where I am.

    In this way, I slowly start to uncover the past lives I've lived. The hardest part of the whole process is convincing your mind that it is real and that you are NOT making it up.

    If possible, I also view my death in that life so that I can see how it ended and why, for oftentimes, that will prove important in understanding the baggage I carry from that lifetime.

    I wish you safe and enlightening journeys into the past.

    *****

    Astrea:

    Unless you're in the hands of a qualified psychotherapist who is also trained and experienced with hypnotic regression, then yes, trying to discover your past lives through regression can be very dangerous and emotionally traumatic.

    This is one situation where you don't want to place yourself in the hands of a beginner or someone who is an amateur or "new" at what they're doing. Your friend was smart to refuse your request. She didn't want to be responsible for what might happen to you if you received traumatic information.

    Past life "memories" tend to be highly emotionally charged and personal, and even the happy ones can be upsetting. Discovering the "where and when" of yourself in other times is an intense experience, and it may not be a pleasant thing for some people.

    Buying a book on regression probably won't enable you to access those lives either. Most people gradually uncover this information over a period of many years, because otherwise, the human mind can't process it.

    Even the most open and accepting person is probably going to be thrown for a loop by seeing her own death. Also, no matter how well adjusted you are, there are some things that you probably don't WANT to know. For those things, you need someone with you who can guide you through this complex inner maze.

    There are some psychiatrists (more than you might think) who will attempt something like this with you after a period of counseling. Most of the time you will have to work with a therapist for six months to two years before they will attempt any kind of regression with you, and this is different from regression for buried memories - that's a different kind of work altogether.

    If you want to know about your past lives without undergoing extensive therapy first, find someone who can either channel that information for you or read it from your birthday, cards, or whatever tool they use. When I do those reports for people, all I need is their birth date, time and place (that is CRUCIAL!) and my cards.

    I can't explain how it comes to me, but it does. Many readers can do this for you. Shop around until you find one with whom you feel you have a good rapport.

    Some readers can get you started finding out things on your own through different kinds of study, and some will be able to tell you things simply by talking to you. This is safer, less expensive and a good bit more FUN. I also think these past life readings are just as valuable as digging through your own subconscious for past life memories.

    Regression isn't the only way!

    Astrea:

    Many times in life we hear, "You will always have what you NEED, but not necessarily what you WANT." Your spirit must have needed to experience the feeling of leaving your human body, and the suggestion in the next chapter of Sylvia Brown's book was all it took to get you there.

    Even though you hadn't read it yet, your SOUL recognized the title of that chapter as something it had been seeking, and your soul, knowing that you had that reference to read after your experience, got with it and out you went!

    While I don't usually recommend her books, Sylvia Brown has a wide reaching and powerful effect on lots of people. A Gemini like you would be able to relate easily to her writing and put it to good use. Synchronicity - you gotta love it!

    I like your description of "getting caught." That's exactly what it feels like, isn't it? One minute you're free and hovering above the room, and the next minute, ZAP! back down into your corporeal form you go!

    As a little kid, I loved that "feeling of return." With practice, most of the time we can control that event, but sometimes, when our physical ears hear a distracting noise or something else occurs to knock us back into reality, back we go. With practice you will be able to control your return better.

    I find it interesting that you were visiting your mother-in-law and not someone in your own genetic family. Evidently, you and your husband got married for reasons that are even deeper than love. His family's interest in "psychic stuff" will nurture your children in such matters and help them to grow into their own abilities.

    You'll never have to be concerned that when your daughter visits them, she'll be discouraged from exploring her own psychic life and power. My parents encouraged me to develop my psychic senses in a time when it wasn't nice to even discuss such things in public. Heck, it's STILL not considered a great topic at the dinner table in some families!

    Your kids will get to talk about it ALL and ask questions and read and study. This is going to give them such an edge in life! Talk with your husband about how you want to present this to your kiddos, so that you are united in your approach and ready to tell them their experiences are all natural and okay.

    A word or two of warning: Geminis often have difficulty staying grounded in REAL LIFE. Don't get so strung out on your ASTRAL life that you neglect what you're doing here on Earth.

    You are at the beginning of a long journey to learn where your power really lies. Try to be patient with this process and take your time.
