Life Lessons: why do you feel you have been somewhere before?

Many scientists believe that Man was much as we are now, in physical and neurological terms, as when we first appeared on Earth some 200,000 years ago. It is not know how we came about, but whatever it was, it brought the abilities of intuition, compassion, empathy, love and self healing.  Since those times humanity has been learning life lessons in order to lead better lives. A life lesson might be learning not to shout when annoyed, or to listen or to love oneself.

One lifetime is not long to learn such fundamental lessons especially if there is more than one. It seems very inefficient to spend a lifetime learning a lesson only for it to be lost when that person dies. In nature plants bloom, die and rise again the following spring. Taking a lead from nature, increasing numbers of people believe that while our bodies die our consciousness or souls survive death and go on to live another life.

On being born into a new life, most people do not remember their previous lives or who they shared them with. The innocence of the child would be lost if we remembered all that had gone before and the excitement of exploring the world and ourselves. However it does seem that our deep subconsciousness does remember and a flicker of those memories can rise up when something in this life would be assisted by the memory or a previous fear or trauma is touched.

This week’s story I feel is the later.

This year in the UK we are celebrating the end of World War I. At Highclere Castle, Newbury – home of the popular TV series Downton Abbey – a Battle Prom was held. There was music, WW I cavalry displays, canons firing, fireworks and more.

Sue from Camberley attended. She has remembered some past lives but her husband does not believe that your consciousness survives death. In the middle of the cannon display when there was loads of smoke and bangs, her husband turned to her and said;

“I was there….”

This weeks story….

Husband’s WW I Life

“I learnt of this past life when I asked why my husband was so attached to an old Tiffany lamp with a cracked shade which he wanted to put in a prominent place in our sitting room when we set up home together.  Naturally at the time I disagreed with him but I have since changed my view.

My husband was a young man in World War I.  He was an Ordinance man and responsible for a cart and horses supplying the front lines.  He was gassed by the Germans.  Although he did not die, he came home from war with his lungs ruined and his health broken.

In the ‘Roaring 20s’ my husband lived in a single, dingy room in London.  Many exciting things were going on around him in London but he was too ill to join in and this bitterly disappointed him.  The only thing that brightened his room and his life was a single Tiffany lamp in his room.  Aged 36 he died alone after a lot of cough, cough, coughing as his lungs failed.  The last thing he looked at before he died were the colours in the Tiffany lamp.

In this life my husband really wanted to live in London.  Nobody could understand why.  Once we had a small flat in London we enjoyed all the great entertainments the city had to offer – concerts, theatre shows, art galleries, exhibitions, museums etc.  In particular he wanted to go to War Horse, a play about the role of horses in World War I.  It resonated with him and he greatly enjoyed it.  We have always said we are like tourists and of a weekend we go to an area of London and walk about to get to know it and enjoy all the wonderful architecture.  London is made up of many different areas each with its own personality.  On foot is the only way to get to know it.

There were 10 good years in the 1920s before the depression of the 1930s started. We are now approaching our 10^th anniversary of living in London.  It has taken me a long time to put down roots in London because at heart I am a country girl.  My husband is now losing interest in London.  He has done what he felt he missed previously and thinks it’s time we went to live elsewhere.

My husband passed in the 1920s when the senior characters in my Soul Family were being born. It would have been a fast turnaround for my husband from one life to another to be born in the 1950s.  It is typical of his character to want to squeeze in one more quick life just before we were about to commence important lives together to exercise family karma from 2,500 years ago.  Bright, lively and impatient to learn, he would not worry that his extra life might impact family members’ preparation for an important family event.  It makes me want to laugh when I realise we take the essence of who we are with us from life to life.”

Lessons learnt from this WWI life

• Behaviours in this life which are not understandable or explainable might relate back to a previous life.
• Whatever we miss or do not get right in this life, we will get a chance to try again in another life.
• We take with us into each life the essential character of our soul
