^ Thank you Charmaine for your wise words!!

I really love how Newton says that all souls on earth are super adventurous and tough because it is one of the hardest planets :-) I think he's right. It's not easy, but it can be so so amazing!

I like that phrase, "Embrace the warrior within yourself and don't give up."!

Hi Charmaine! How are you? Thanks for the picture and the message.. It's true, we only take on ourselves that which we can handle.

One of these days i will learn how to post nice pictures and stuff.. i was once a bit of a technofob, and am not very versed in the internet.

Hello Sibyl, the warrior princess.. you are quite right, i am a country person! Only I live in the big city. But in a quiet neighborhood, with many trees. I wouldn't have it otherway.

If you want to be physically immortal, or are interested in the subject, read 'Linda Goodman's Star Signs'. She explains how to achieve physical immortality in a very friendly manner. This is a book that can change one's life. It did so to me. It taught me a lot about spiritual laws taking place in this world. But i am not going to be physically immortal myself, not in this life and not in any other life. I had an incident with spiritual teachers who tried to teach me, and they will never come back. And i am not to accomplish that mission, NEVER. This is why i fear now of getting old. you see, until a couple of years ago, that was not an issue with me at all. I never feared it and never meditated on it. Only now i developed fears of losing my youth and my looks too. I am quite ashamed of my fears really. But what really embaresses me is the way i treat this body of mine lately. I have a problem letting go of the nice doll i have received...Vain, vain, vain. And i think that my fears are part of the reason why i don't fit to be physically immortal, which means keeping the body you have young and healthy for an undetermined time... time being an illusion and all.Don't tell anyone i'm vain . I don't know if it is truly vanity. It just opened doors for me, like you said, and i am really afraid of rejection, as i had my own experiences... I am really not proud at my problem. And this is self exopsure. Just since you were curious about it...

We are all immortal. Otherwise, physical immortality wouldn't have been possible. But i still need to reincarnate. I don't like to come here a clean slate. My memory is very precious to me. In my next life i may very well not be aware that physical immortality is a possibility, or i will know it is not possible for me. It is like winning the lottery: either luck is on your side or it isn't. I have always known that luck and money will come to me in a different way, so i didn't bother. When i will be evolved and more mature i will not have a second chance with those gurus, but will simply have a usual death and then stop reincarnating. Then i will continue to evolve in the spirit world, doing whatever i am assigned to do.

I started thinking about reincarnation not because i didn't feel connected to my body, but because i pondered the issue of success and failure. I thought: a human being can try and achieve his or her goal, but may not succeed, then die. Is that reasonable? The story cannot end like that. there must be a continuation to life. Then i realised the soul reincarnates.

I don't know how one's soul can be this or that sign, which is not the sun sign one has. Do you refer to the draconic map? I have no knowledge of that. What do you mean when you say you merged with a human?

My sun sign is cancer, But there is something of the libra in me, as i tend to see the other side of everything. Maybe this is because my sun is in the seventh house, which is ruled by libra?

Not at all and elo to you.

I believe in physical immortality too. Will reply to your questions when I can. Having some health issues and the meds are making me wonky..at least my brain wonky.

Have a great weekend and hope to engage with you two soon. :heartstar:

You are made of the sea and the stars, and one day you are going to find yourself again.”

Yeah... Ops. I'm sorry 'bout that. I'm well-meaning, but sometimes come off a little strong. I also have that mars opposite moon aspect, which is not helping things.

Ayelet,

Regarding physical immortality, now that you mention it I do actually remember reading about it in sun signs. I had kind of forgotten about it though, it's a fascinating concept but I don't feel ready to stop reincarnating yet. Not until I get it just right. Maybe a re-reading of Sun Signs is in order though. I haven't looked at it in years!

I don't think your concerns of growing older is anything to be ashamed about! It's completely normal, no matter how progressed your soul is. I think the important thing is how you deal with it. I guess that's just a phase we all have to go through in our reincarnations. As much as I'm not attached to my body, I know I will too. I just don't have to worry about it much yet since I'm still in my early twenties. But you can take time to accept it, it's OK. I don't think we have to accomplish all our challenges straight away, we're not timed so.

Then i realised the soul reincarnates.

That is what finally convinced me too! I spent allot of time thinking about the meaning of life, and with all of life's trials and tribulations I figured that it's a learning curve for us. I thought about whether we just go to heaven when we die and that's it... But that didn't sit right with me either. Because if you are imperfect in death, how can improve in a perfect heaven? And I realized that the way the world and life is set up really is perfect for learning. We learn of the good and how to be good because of the bad things we experience. If we didn't experience the bad, how would be able to recognize the good? If we didn't know what unhappiness was, how could we know if we were happy? Life challenges us greatly, but it's still possible to live happily and beautifully. There are so many things to experience, and packing them all into one life seems an impossible task. So I choose to go with reincarnation.

When I say my soul seems a little aries, what I mean is that in doing regression, you get to look at your Self almost from the outside, in a way that you have never experienced yourSelf before. I suppose it could be because we never bring all our energy to the physical plane. Some is left behind in the spirit world, or we sometimes divide our souls over more than one body. When you experience your mortal self, it is the self in your current body, but it is also larger. I guess I should say it is more, and some of it is a me that I have never experienced myself as in this life. I think it is because it is more effective for me to learn if I come here with less of myself. Otherwise, my challenges may be too easy. When you enter a physical body, you are also affected by that body's physiology in ways that your immortal soul may not otherwise have been expressed. I guess it all depends on how much of your energy you bring to earth, and how similar the body you reincarnate into is to your soul self.

My soul is incredibly adventurous, fast-paced, forceful; an explorer soul in many ways. In this life I'm experiencing mySelf as more thoughtful, philosophical, humanitarian. Aquarian. These are aspects that my soul possesses, but that have gone undeveloped in some lifetimes. This reincarnation is helpful to me because I need to learn how to curb my energy in order to give it more direction.

Oh, Randall, but it is! I don't really want to get off the carousel. But you already know my story. Question is: Do you believe me i have no choice? Do you believe what i told you? I am sure you'll meet your spiritual teachers. Now, i bet when you do, i'm the last thing you'll think about. But suppose i'll accidentally cross your mind, just ask them. Ask them about people who cannot become physically immortal. and ask them about me. You'll see i'm right then. Perhaps I am a peace soul, but i am also a warrior, and believe me i wouldn't have given up if it wasn't for a very serious reason.

Hi Sybil. I am not in my twenties, but still am quite young. People think i am in my twenties or less. But that's only an example of the illusion of time. I read Linda Goodman's Sun Signs, and i don't remember she wrote there about physical immortality. Linda Goodman's Star Signs is the book that relates to this subject. Even focuses on it. If it doesn't arouse your curiosity, let it be, then. Though if you wanted physical immortality, i surely would have been happy for you getting it. It is nothing short of a miracle. Not being able to get it is part of my pain. Thank you for understanding my fears.

Sometimes i see Star Signs in the bookstore, and i want to tell everybody: 'You don't have to die! there is a wonderful, wonderful way to live! just under your noses!' I myself can't do that. I was crippled spiritually, or else it was never meant to be. But i believe in the ability of others to live forever and become Gurus. It is very important for this planet, as they are its guardians.

I agree we can only become perfected in an imperfect world. Ain't that a paradox? But the soul who stops reincarnating is not yet perfect. It has achieved a certain level of perfection, which alowes it to go on and develop in higher dimensions. As for good and bad, we brought the bad on ourselves eons ago. And we have to deal with it and overcome it. It is true that bad helps us to appreciate good. It also helps us to understand good and evil, and get away from the bad toward the good. Everything serves a purpose. But there are things i just can't understand. Hitler was not assigned to become a mass murderer. I just can't see how the holocaust, or any other more "minor" violent crime, was meant to be. That may be an extreme case, but i've heard of some people saying Hitler was a "high soul" and "had a mission", and i'm not talking about neo-nazis saying that, but about ordinary folks who are somewhat spiritually misguided, saying "everything is good". What you are talking about, the kind of bad which makes for good, is what Linda would have called: "Good grief!" Meaning, if we make mistakes, we send them outside of ourselves, run into them, suffer, then correct them and overcome pain and grief through happiness.

By the way, do you like Terry Oldfield?

Well, Sibyl, perhaps it was too long a discussion. It was nice talking to you. Take care.

I'm sorry. How has it been three years since I posted this? I thought it was last year. Odd.

I found them comforting at the time. Now, I'm not so sure. I had wanted a "between lives" regression, but had enough trouble trying to get through a regular one.

I wish I had some wonderful story to recount, of a PLR that made me feel so much better about life, and loss. I don't. I really wanted to.

I still really love Michael Newton's books. I like picking them up now and then and the idea of reincarnation still gives me allot of comfort. I think about spirituality and what life is all about and is there a God? allot. I still feel like reincarnation explains to me the "point" of it all (life), and whenever people talk about the experiences of their lives and why we are here and what we are supposed to be doing here, I find people from so many different walks of life, religions and beliefs explain that the main point of things is to get better, improve, learn, grow. It seems to be such a common theme, that it feels a bit like some cosmic memory we all share.

If that is truly the reason why we are here (assuming there is a reason), it seems to me that reincarnation has to be the way of it, because I simply cannot imagine a black/and white heaven/hell at the end of it where you fall on one side or the other. Likewise, too many people seem to me too bad to be likely to in one life be able to make/deserve heaven (and can they really all be rejected)? It seems to me the more fair set up would be for us to experience many different lives and circumstances so we can understand each other better and grow through them. If that is really so, and that we are born with a memory block (so to have more effective learning experiences), this seems to me like an excellent way for all of us to grow. Of course this is all conjecture on my part, I have had no spiritual revelation and have no more insight than the next person - but this is the explanation I have heard that to me make the most sense, so for now this is what I choose to believe.

Lots of love,
Sibyl
