What? Alternate Lives not Past Lives!
We all love to daydream about who we were in a “past life.” We live in a linear world and in this world there is always a ‘before and after’, a ‘coming up and what was’—a ‘yesterday or tomorrow’. We plan our lives that way, and so it is easy for us to compartmentalize outside this dimension of time and space and project our very limited human linear viewpoint. We live in a world of time and space but we don’t want to keep getting lost and caught in the prison of time and space even though we must contend with it as we live with it daily. Our concepts have been boxed that way too. However if we are able to step out of that belief for a moment and realize that these ‘past lives’ are really in fact—alternate lives that are concurrent, we expand the sense of who we really are. And, if we are more than just these physical tangible beings of light, then we are also beings that are so clearly eternal and immortal and thus do not answer to concepts of time and space.
Ironically, this doesn’t matter to the spiritual nature of who we are. But if you want to access more consciously the spiritual nature –the soulful beingness of who we are, then we have to be able or willing to step outside the concept of time and space. We need to begin to realize that there are ways while we are awake and conscious. (Not asleep or in deep meditation) First, begin to be more aware that you are more than just this physical person who is dealing with the conditions of time and space.
This is why it is important to be mindful of our terminology when it comes to our other aspects or lives. They are not past. They are not future. They are concurrent and they are real. They are now. They are just alternatives to what it is we’re experiencing with the focus on this consciousness of “this person.” Because we feel the consciousness of our current personality to be so strong and so important—that is where we focus—that’s where we give all our attention and we use it for every frame of reference in our existence. Think of a library filled with thousands of books. The one we’re currently reading—is where our consciousness is focused or who we identify as ourselves.
Yet, if we are going to accept that we are more than just this physical being in this moment, then we have to be able to accept that we are living a life that is an alternate to some other lives and other lives are alternatives to this one, and they are not in the past, and not in the future. They are a part of who we are right now as we manifest in this life as this being.
The more we can grasp this idea, the more we will be able to accept that, and the more we will begin to find that we are feeling our spirit—our soul more emphatically and more consciously here. It makes it easier not to have to keep giving over to the distractions, the simulations and the detours that come and take us off course—or onto another track.
In other words, you could really feel what it is to be multi-dimensional and not just see it as a theory—that you’ll have to wait for until you die!
