Venus swims into lovely Pisces today, amplifying the soulful beauty in our lives. For the next three weeks it will turn our focus to the wonders in our lives, raising our gratitude levels and awareness of the gifts we have, as well as the gifts we want to manifest on a spiritual level. An Aries Moon will have us on the run Monday and Tuesday, and even though clarity and direction may elude us, we'll be moving forward all the same. Clarity returns under Wednesday and Thursday's Taurus Moon, which will provide for a time of grounding as we work through the challenges in our day to day lives. Once the Moon moves into Gemini on Friday, we'll experience two days of fun, social interaction and entertaining activities to take us into the weekend. If someone you haven't thought of or heard from in a long time crosses your mind, now is the time to reach out and connect or do a little internet sleuthing to see if you can find them. Feel free to be a homebody under Sunday's Cancer Moon. Even if you don't get much done, the goal is to hang out and soak up the energy of your favorite and most comfortable place to be!

The Evolving Soul and Your Past Life Purpose: Connecting the Dots of Past Lives, by Dr. Linda Backman

(Article originally published in The Llewellyn Journal.)

The title of the first chapter of my new book, The Evolving Soul, is "Tripping Over Your Soul Self," which provides a clear description of the over-riding purpose of the book. Each and every one of us chooses to incarnate with intended "Soul-Sole" commitment—that is to continue and, perhaps speed-up, your evolution as a soul. You are, no more and no less, a soul living another life aiming to grow and expand.

You might consider this explanation too simple. The truth is that soul evolution in each life is often painstaking and complex.

In order to progress as a soul, it is essential that you "trip over" who you are at the core. My new book, The Evolving Soul: Spiritual Healing Through Past Life Exploration, provides explanation and guidance about how you can discover why you agreed to incarnate today in order to climb your "soul ladder" with meaning.

I am a psychologist and regression therapist, and as such I've filled The Evolving Soul with client regression accounts. Each client example provides food for thought surrounding your raison d'etre in life today.

There is a rationale and deliberate order in our universe. By this, I mean that there is a just structure and coordination. The Evolving Soul will expand your understanding of the configuration of moving from one lifetime to the next. To skim the surface of the organization of our soul world, here are some key elements:

• Advanced souls, called Master Guides, manage and coordinate all souls.
• Each soul has a team of guides and teachers who support them
• As a soul we have a specific, eternal archetype that informs each of our lives.
• We create a pre-birth blueprint with our guides before incarnation.
• We incarnate repetitively within a small, as well as a larger, conglomerate soul group.
• In life we always have free will.
• We are required to incarnate in order to evolve.
• Each lifetime is linked to the next for advancement.

I would suppose your next question is, "How can I learn more about my past lives, my past life relationships, and my plan for this life?"

You might also ask, "How can I communicate with my guides to receive direction and to know that I am actually following my intentions for my life today?"

The answer to all of these questions is basic. You must learn to use your intuition, as well as trust that you can easily "trip over" the answers in your everyday life.

Let's begin with INTUITION—capitalized because it is a skill within each of us that we can learn to enhance.

Tips to Enhance Your Intuitive Senses
Your intuitive abilities come in six modes. Though all of us have these intuitive skills, we're stronger in some than in others:

1. Clair-voyance: Vision as if your mind were a movie screen
2. Clair-audience: Hearing as if you're being spoken to
3. Clair-cognition: Thoughts that just occur to you
4. Clair-sentience: Emotions that arise for no apparent reason
5. Clair-kinesthesia: Sensing a physical symptom
6. Clair-alience: Smelling something that is not present

Practice and trust are the essential element to using intuition. Experiment with a friend. Tune intuitively to how your best friend's day is going, then call them to determine if you are correct. Don't forget to rely on your thoughts that you may think arise from your own "mind creation," but are actually intuitive in nature. Always remember that no one's intuition is accurate one hundred percent of the time.

Soul Regression
In my regression therapy practice, I guide clients via hypnosis. Through the use of an altered state of consciousness, clients utilize their intuition to discover significant past lives, guides, and their soul (or higher self) awareness of life purpose. In addition, during soul regression, your spiritual guides and teachers will shed light on your current state of soul progress.

I invite you to experience Kenneth's regression details. Take time now to read and feel your way through Kenneth's soul regression. Notice that this client is handed many details about how his past life is tied to life today. Plus, Kenneth's guide is quite forthcoming with specifics about his pre-birth blueprint.

This soul regression account begins just after Kenneth has died in his past life as a Native American chief named "Blackhawk."

"This is a very emotional reunion. I am in the center of a circle with my guides and soul family all around me. In the circle I am Blackhawk. I wear a breastplate that has a stone on the back. The stone is touching my skin. This stone is a reminder to me to bring the principles and rationale for Blackhawk's life into my life and my goals today.

[Kenneth's primary Guide speaks.] Blackhawk and you are to support and guide others to be clear in their own life path. You are fully one at this time with Blackhawk; you are he, and he is you. When you hesitate with your life purpose you are to come to me, your primary Guide, to be invigorated. Be sure to speak fully and clearly. Do not be afraid. Also, do not forget to laugh. This is highly important to keep you moving forward, but remembering to be "light" at times.

Each soul extends far beyond human comprehension. You are always more than you think you are. The part of your soul that inhabits your body is complete and full. Yet, this part is only a drop of all that you are.

Your heart will allow you to enter your greater consciousness. Do not forget about your heart. You cannot fulfill your soul agreement without your heart."

Kenneth, using his intuitive capability, had discovered his life as Blackhawk prior to his soul regression. The "spotlight" provided by his guide and the essential merger of Blackhawk's and Kenneth's life purpose were new and stark for Kenneth. Following this session Kenneth had his "marching orders," and was eager to move forward.

Deepening Your Soul Awareness
Let's talk about how you can use intuition or soul regression (or combine both) to reveal your significant past lives, connecting the dots of your soul journey. It is crucial that you pay close attention, at all times, to your thoughts, feelings, and life circumstances, because you'll be able to "trip over" and figure out your life purpose.

Please take your time as you move through each of the following suggestions to unearth your lives, soul relationships, and why you are embodied today:

• • Think about the people who are, or have been, part of your life. Be sure to not only consider those people with whom you've had a great relationship. Always consider those "prickly" relationships that you wished would end. At the soul level we make agreements to have a particular type of relationship, even if uncomfortable, in order to release karma and clean up past life issues.When my first child was born the doctor said, "You have a healthy boy." Then I said, "My Dad will be so happy;" I had no idea why I made this statement. Many years, later I discovered that the soul of my Dad was my mother in a life during World War II. In the past life I was the older sister and had a very young brother (the soul of my current life, first child), and my brother was taken away.

• • Your past lives are revealed in your present life through desires, fears, compulsions, and physical symptoms:
    • What period of history fascinates you?
    • What area of the world would you like to visit?
    • What type of work interests you, even if you're not trained or you think the pay would be insufficient?
    • Do you have a long-standing pain in a part of your body that is unexplained?
    • Are you afraid to have a child but don't know why?

• • Examine the key events in your life to discover who you are as a soul:
    • Did you have a serious illness before age 10? Could this be a means to heal how you died in past life? Could this be learning for your parents to deepen their commitment to parenting?
    • As a child did you dislike going to church every week? Could this be related to a past life where you were harmed for your beliefs?
    • Did you grow up being fascinated by studying military history? Could this indicate that your soul archetype is about strategy and implementing a plan as a type of warrior?
    • Do you have an innate skill as a musician, artist, or negotiator? Did you carry over these skills from one or more past lives?
    • Did a teacher in high school or college suggest that you study medicine, engineering, or Asian Studies? Are you being guided to follow experiences and knowledge in past lives?

• Your passions disclose your life purpose or the intentions you set in motion in your pre-birth agreement:
  • Do you love to understand particular subjects deeply, never being tired of learning even more?
  • Is caring for animals your deepest urge?
  • Is caring for children, your own or those of others, what you love the most?
  • Is resolving conflict in your family, your personal life, or where you work, what causes your greatest satisfaction?
  • Is simply being a committed friend to others the highlight of your day?

Many of my clients think their life purpose has to be a magnanimous and highly obvious activity or job, such as writing books, being a university professor, heading a company, or something similar. Nothing could be farther from the truth. What is most meaningful for you in life IS tied to your life intentions. For some of us, our work is our passion. For others of us our work is the way we pay our bills, and our soul desires fulfill us without serving as employment.

Particular agreements contained within your pre-birth blueprint may be primarily for your soul evolution, or primarily for the evolution of others, or could be balanced for all parties. For instance, if you wonder why you were born into a family where abuse happened, you may have agreed to be the victim of abuse with the intent for your parent/s to advance in learning how not to be.

Remember there is only one reason you are incarnate today, and that is to evolve as a soul. As you evolve, you affect the greater and needed evolution of Humanity. When you use intuition to decide how to move forward in life today you are allowing your spiritual guides to direct your life journey.

I invite you to read The Evolving Soul, as well as my first book, Bringing Your Soul to Light. Both books include numerous soul regression accounts, and you'll learn more about soul archetypes, soul ascension, spiritual guides, ET lives, split incarnations, and much more.

Honor yourself at the core level of your soul. Know that you are here with purpose.

For most of my life, I have had visions of a pale blonde man clothed in flowing black material. His eyes are grey, and when I see him, he either frightens or fights off evil entities surrounding me. The only problem is that he frightens me too! There is something that seems evil about him as well. I always thought he was some type of image from my mind until I felt wind when he moved and I heard him tell me his name, which is Adalric. What do you make of this? Do you think he is real or the mental personification of some spiritual force? I feel crazy even telling you about it!

Rachel

Dreamchaser:

I am so excited to be answering this question. I "heard" in my gut that your "vision man" is actually a spirit guide. I also heard that I could do some research and find out who he actually was in LIFE. This is very rare and very exciting. His giving you his name is so helpful.

He is Adalric, Duke of Alsace, who was born in Sweden around 634. He died on February 20 in either the year 689 or 690 - most say 690, but there are also reports of 689. His given name was Eticho. He married a real-life princess named Berswinde. He had two children, one of whom he named Adalbert. The other child was named Eticho II. That child later became the patron saint we now call St. Odile, Patron Saint of Alsace.

Adalric obtained the Duchy of Alsace in 662. He was the Head of the Alsatian House of the Ethiconides. If you want to find out more about his earthly life or duties, you can ask him. Just get a pencil and paper, ask the question out loud and write down what you hear in the form of your own thoughts.

I think he is absolutely real. Our spirit guides are as real as we are. Some people can see them, some people can hear them, some people do not even know they are around, and everything in between. For example, my son can see his guides, I can sense and hear my guides, and my daughter has no idea that anything is around her.

I think the reason you feel "fear" at times is because he was obviously a man who had a lot of power. He had it in his last human life and he continues to have it in the spirit world. He is powerful, used to being listened to, and is quite forceful.

He chases everything away from you that you consider "evil." He, however, is not evil by nature, or he could not be your spirit guide. "God"/ the Universe/ Spirit /whatever term you like to use does not put EVIL on the payroll.

If we see a big, burly man coming down the street at us at night, odds are we are going to cross to the other side. The same concept applies here. You fear what you "see," and thus you never get to really know him better. You need to figure out exactly what it is about him that frightens you and then ask him about it. He will help you understand.

What determines if something that is a "mental personification of some spiritual force" (to use your words) is "real?" Anything that is speaking with you is "real" on some level.

I wish you fascinating interactions with All That Is.

Kiddo, you are NOT crazy, and you are being protected by one of the Big Shot Angelic Spirits. I looked up "Adalric" in my old time Dictionary of Angels, and this is what it says about him:

"ADALRIC: Seraphic Assistant to the Archangel Gabriel, Adalric chooses one human being to protect during that person's lifetime in each human generation. While he usually chooses a woman and her family, he has been known to also occasionally extend his protection to single gay men. He is particularly fond of women in the medical field, and has spent many human lifetimes protecting female doctors and nurses.

He dresses in black to confound Evil, which comes to him in disguised Angelic Form. His robes contain hundreds of pockets in which he carries soothing balms. The first modern recorded sighting by a human being was during the Crimean War, where he accompanied the famous Florence Nightingale as she began what we know as today's nursing profession.

A powerful force against all evil, he is particularly interested in being effective against plague and disease. Adalric has been credited with stamping out many of the world's plagues, and has a rich oral tradition beginning in the Middle Ages at the end of what we now know as the Bubonic Plague. Communication with him is often carried on through one of his Messenger Angels, particularly Tuam."

I'm so excited for you! This is an IMPORTANT personage in the Angelic Hierarchy! He's only once removed from Gabriel, who is one of the "big four" Archangels of the Universe!

If you wish to speak with him directly, ask him to come to you in a dream. Gather some white flowers, Narcissus or Mums (something with a strong and pungent smell), and place them in a white vase in your bedroom to draw him to you. By the flowers, leave a note with the questions you want him to answer in your dream. It may take him a few days to get back to you, but don't be afraid! He's here to help you find your bliss in life. As the flowers fade, you'll begin to see more and more of him every day.

If you are not in the medical field at this time, it would be a good idea to ponder such a career. He wouldn't have chosen to be with you for your lifetime if you didn't have a particular healing gift. You're a VERY LUCKY girl to have him interested in you and your family. He's here to help you, not to frighten you. Work with him - you'll be so blessed!

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.
