Reincarnation, Past Lives & Understanding the Choice to Incarnate Again on Earth
The following is an excerpt from my book (still in the editing phase):
“You Chose This: The journey to soul remembering” a channeled initiation and guidebook for spiritual awakening in the New Earth
You are so much more than this human vessel having this experience right now. Your soul is boundless, timeless, formless - it is a creation of consciousness itself - and the lifetimes or experiences you have are simply the ‘one consciousness’ or creator experiencing or learning about itself through its infinite variations, reflections, timelines and lifetimes.
Read that again.
You are the creator, experiencing itself through the lens of your individual experience.
We are all simply a fragment of the one consciousness, experiencing itself. Suffice it to say, your soul has been around a very long time. Yes, there are ‘older’ souls who originated from other planets that have been reincarnating on this Earth since the dawn of time (usually the ones that have specifically agreed to come here and raise the frequency of the planet and assist in the ascension of humanity through some form of teaching, art-form or healing), and ‘younger’ souls who perhaps have had only a handful of human incarnations, but who have still experienced lifetimes elsewhere and who have come here to experience this shift here and now.
Regardless of which one you are - and indeed, you may get a sense or already have a knowing that you are an ‘older’ soul, like I did when I began this journey - your soul has some baggage which it came here to offload, some struggle in which it desires to evolve through, or it wouldn’t have chosen to come here into this Earth and be here reading this book right now. Instead, you would have chosen to reincarnate elsewhere, in a dimension which has already evolved to unity consciousness. Some of us (guilty) have trucks and trucks full of soul baggage, past life trauma and karmic BS to offload before we can begin to experience what it is to walk in the light in this lifetime - one of the downfalls of being an ‘older’ soul, but ironically also the breeding ground for higher expressions of light, so am I mad? Not really.
(P.s. If you have been called to this book, if you have resonance with my words, I daresay this might be you).
Other souls come here already anchored into a higher frequency - for instance, the new wave of highly intuitive “Indigo” children that are being born into this planet as we speak - and as a result, may find this path to be much more streamlined, easy or at the least not experience the necessity to cleanse past life trauma.
Either way, you will still have things to overcome, baggage to offload - whether it is from this life, or past. I feel it is important to point out, it doesn’t matter if what you are carrying and have to overcome is from this life or if it is from past lives. It is all equally important when it comes to raising the frequency of the planet as a collective, and exists simply as a denser frequency in your field - therefore, the collective field - that needs to be felt and transmuted.
Uncovering and unpacking or remembering our past lives comes at a point in our journey where we are ready for the exploration of what our karmic cycles and patterns are in this lifetime, and also ready for the recognition of our eternal nature. They are access points in which we can determine what patterns, shadows - and also our strengths, gifts - we are destined to face.
The primary function of experiencing or remembering our past lives is to have an access point into the karmic cycles, patterns and traumas which exist here and now for us that we have the potential clear. Learning about past lives gives you an indication of the experiences you have chosen to have in previous incarnations, thus giving rise to some understanding of what you might have chosen to experience in this lifetime.
Important sidenote: past lives are actually also occurring in the here and now as time is not linear as we experience it in the 3D realm - there is a part of your soul, right now, who is currently having that experience. When you connect to, heal and liberate the experience that fragment of your soul is having on a simultaneously occurring timeline, you clear that karma and collapse that timeline, thus literally re-writing that event and cancelling out the karmic ripples it has caused for you in this life. This also becomes really cool when you begin to perceive yourself as a multidimensional being. For instance, much of this book is channeled by a part of my soul who is existing billions of light years away - sitting on a council of benevolent beings who wish to assist the ascension process of humanity. Believe me when I say, that one was a stretch for even me to believe at first. The implications, however, are mind-blowing. You have access to all of those gifts, all of that knowledge that part of your soul has, now. It is through this experience of multidimensionality that I have been able to connect with my lives as a high priestess, oracle and medicine woman - bringing forth those gifts and abilities into this human vessel I know as Bec. It means - and I’ll expand on this shortly - you never have to ‘learn’ what your soul’s gifts are, just how to get out of your own way in order to access them.
It is through experiencing and ‘purging’ (releasing) our past life trauma - sometimes, spontaneously through memories of these other lives that suddenly surface, or through purposefully journeying into the Akashic (the realm of all knowledge) to access our soul’s blueprint - that we are able clear our vessel, here and now.
Ironically, I often see with my clients that it is easier to access and heal past life trauma than it is trauma from their childhood - for instance - because they are able to experience a certain disconnect with the pain they are feeling. I say ironically, because the atrocities that have befallen our souls - such as being hunted, brutally murdered or burnt at the stake - far exceeds the experiences your ‘human’ self has to endure in this lifetime. (Yes, waaaay worse than COVID-19). However, because to some degree they are not having the physical experience of that ‘here and now’ - that’s to say, they are not literally dying in this body, although sometimes it might feel like it - they are able to attribute it to some external, far-away version of their ‘self’ and recognise that, “hey, this hurts but I’m not literally burning at the stake right now, so I guess it’s all good. And it still doesn’t hurt nearly as much as the time I was five and I was kicked out of kids club”.
Allow me to rephrase this in another way, to hit it home harder, as I feel there is a lot of onus put on past lives, particularly as someone who facilitates a lot of past life work. There is also a tendency for people to get caught up in stories, loops and cycles of attachment and resentment towards what happened to them in past lives (again, guuuuilty). Your past lives and your current life share the same karmic patterns, underlying traumas and experiences - simply in different formats. For instance, in a past life you may have lost the love of your life tragically and suddenly. And this might be, like it was for me, a memory that surfaces and is triggered by meeting this soul here and now, along with all of the unresolved pain and trauma of a widow that my soul was holding onto. In this life however, you may have had this same karmic pattern become evident through the form of an absent or abusive parent. It’s the same core trauma and wound - fear of abandonment or loss ultimately guiding you to re-learn that separation is an illusion and you can never really ‘lose’ someone as we are all one consciousness - different scenario. It doesn’t matter if you are clearing the past life, or the current life origin of this trauma or karmic cycle - it is the same frequency, the same pain signature, the same lesson and the same end result for your soul. And it is all helping you to evolve. Do not let yourself fall into the trap I see many clients fall into, where you begin to over identify with your past lives to the point where you cannot be here, now.
Your past lives are simply here to help you understand what your karma is, what trauma you’re holding onto, what your gifts are and what lessons you might have to learn in this lifetime.
Three words that will make this whole journey easier:
“I chose this”.
Before coming into this life, onto this planet, we are - as souls - given the opportunity to decide what experience we wish to have in order to reach our next point of evolution. We are allowed to choose the connections and contracts which we have with people that will crack open our heart and teach us important growth lessons - or to allow us to clear the karma (I will explain what this is during the next segment) that we have accrued from previous lives. We choose what our life purpose is, all the details of what we are here to do in this lifetime. All of the specific traits, strengths, weaknesses, skills and physical attributes of the human vessel in which we will enter. We choose our parents, the upbringing and conditioning we will have, the part of the world in which we inhabit. We choose the specific struggles we will have to go through in this lifetime - for instance, choosing to suffer through a chronic illness, through the loss of a parent at a young age, to have debilitating mental health issues we must overcome, to experience a failed marriage or betrayal, so on and so forth. Each and every one of these choices is designed so that your soul gets the necessary experience it needs to be able to transcend and evolve.
Once our contract has been made, we then agree to come into this body and forget everything we know and have already experienced, so that we can organically come here and go through the remembering process that is spiritual awakening. To enable us to choose - through free-will - to walk the path of light again. This part is important, because if we had a knowledge or remembering of our eternal nature when we reincarnated here, of all the lifetimes we’d had before this one - of who and what we truly are - then there would be no point of existing here and now, in the human realm. Your soul would not be able to evolve through engaging in the spiritual warfare that can be life.
To put it another way - if you knew every detail of the life you will live, if you knew ultimately this was bringing you back to unity, if you knew about every past life experience that you lived through, then there would be nothing to force you to develop and strengthen the necessary muscles of trusting and surrendering to the divine. There would be no point in living, no growth to be had if you knew you could just come here and click your fingers and create whatever experience you desired - you would simply not be able to know happiness, joy, abundance without their equal opposites. You cannot experience light without darkness, love without experiencing fear, unity without first experiencing what it is like to live in separation.
God doesn’t want us to have no choice but love and unity by default because then it is not a conscious, sentient choice - it is simply something which is forced on us. God would not be able to experience itself through all variations across time and space without polarity, and without free will. While we are destined to follow particular soul contracts, we can also choose in this life whether or not to honor them. Side note - I wouldn’t recommend going down that route, it makes this whole ‘human-suffering’ thing a whole lot more painful than it needs to be.
God - through the act of giving us free will, of giving us the ability to choose - allows us to choose and remember that we are love along the way. Even if, in many incarnations and lifetimes we did not choose love (guilty, guilty, guilty). God allows us to correct our path, re-polarise and redirect ourselves to the path of service to others, unity, and love. Unfortunately, in order to do that, we need to experience what it is like without that love - without that trust, that unshakable faith that everything is, always will be, working out for your highest good.
God does not put us here to suffer, or to be ‘punished’ for the wrong doings we have done in the past. I need you to really focus here, because this is important. God did not choose to make you suffer in this lifetime (or past lifetimes) as an act of divine retribution. Your soul chose the experiences it has had (and will have) in order to guide it back to the understanding that it is God - that it is love. Despite what many religions would have you believe, there isn’t a singular vengeful, spiteful, judgemental God up there deciding who gets to be rich and who gets to be poor. There is no ‘sin’ which you must be punished for, nor is there a hell you will end up in if you commit ‘wrong’ acts. To God, there is no good and there is no bad because everything is serving the cosmic purpose of leading you back to love. It is our human judgement (contingent on the paradigm we subscribe to) of something that makes it ‘good’ or ‘bad’. The truth is that in the lens of everything simply being a creation of loving consciousness, it is all really neither good nor bad - it just simply is.
Considering the span of eternity that your soul has already experienced - and will continue to experience - this human life is a small fraction of time in comparison. However, no other realm involves the degree of suffering that is wrapped up in being human, due to the existence of the Ego - and that’s why your soul chose to come here now.
As a part of being human, we have to face and evolve through challenges, heartbreak, death, grief, loss, illness, war, failure, betrayal, embarrassment, shame, guilt, anger, sadness. Being human is fucking hard sometimes, but that’s exactly why your soul chose this. Your soul could have easily chosen to reincarnate as a being who simply floats around in the ether, in higher density planets where suffering does not exist and there is only union and unconditional love - but then how would it evolve and grow? How can it experience all of the knowledge and understanding it has without the very act of living through the experiences?
Your entire existence is based upon the premise of evolution and soul growth - in your soul’s desire to attain the experiences necessary to enter into a chrysalis phase which catapults it to evolve into higher expressions of itself and into higher densities. To forget the many paths it has already walked on this planet and others, in order to relearn and remember the truth of who it is, what it is capable of and why it came here.
To experience polarity so it is able to choose - over and over again - to remember its infinite power and sovereignty. And ultimately, to choose - as an act of free will - the path of love which allows it to eventually merge back with its creator, into oneness, unity and unconditional love: the ultimate ‘goal’ of the ascension process.
