DON'T KNOW IF WE HAD ANY "PL's" TOGETHER

[hydrolad]

I hope this is the right place to post this, otherwise please let me know and I'll move it.

With relatives and friends, I know that the desire to be born together is very strong, but I sometimes wonder how strong the desire is NOT be born with certain people, for instance, while growing up, there were Two bullies who went to the same Church I went to.

There was never anything physical, but mainly verbal bullying (taunts, obscenities, rudeness and so forth), but the Church leaders cast a blind eye towards the boy's behavior, in fact, it seems the Church encouraged such behavior because the boy's parents were leaders in the Church and nobody wanted to upset them.

It was the bullying and the Church's desire not to upset their benefactor's that alienated me and made me "Lose my Religion" (so to speak) and to seek other belief systems, such as Reincarnation, plus I had been very curious about Past Lives since I had had dreams about being someone else ever since my very early childhood.

Even at a young age, I could see the hypocrisy in this Church (and maybe others) and wanted nothing to do with it anymore because it was an orchestrated, organized religion, instead I struck out on my own quest to find some answers in my late teens, and by my early 20s, I had found the beginning of my answers and throughout my adult life I have continued on this personal quest

Even though I disdain mainline organized religions that use church leaders to maintain control of the masses through threats, mind manipulation, mind games and so forth, I believe in God and I respect the teachings, lives and memories of the Saints, and even though I speak directly to God, I on occasion speak or pray to certain Saints, such as St. Florian, the protective Saint for all Firefighter's, irregardless of Denomination or Religion.

NOTHING IN THIS POST SHALL BE CONSTRUED AS FAVORING ONE BELIEF SYSTEM OVER ANOTHER BELIEF SYSTEM, EACH INDIVIDUAL SOUL RETURNS TO THEIR CREATOR BY DIFFERENT PATH'S AND EACH PERSON'S "MILEAGE MAY VARY" DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND THEIR CONTROL.

ALSO NOTHING IN THIS POST SHALL BE CONSTRUED AS REPRESENTING THE "OFFICIAL STAND" OF THIS FORUM, "THE CAROL BOWMAN PAST LIFE FORUM" or any staff member of this Forum, these words are mine and mine alone.

I can recall the time I was in a crowded airport and had some sort of wild ride and out of body adventure - in the blink of an eye. It was similar to a massive NDE - without the physical trauma involved - so - I was able to grasp more of the spiritual interlude that had taken place.


What amazed me most then - and even in hindsight - is standing there looking around at every single person in that lobby and knowing without a doubt - that every single soul had a hand in creating the physical moment we were living through. It was no accident or was it by chance that we had all gotten off that plane and were standing in that moment together. It was all planned through spirit and it was our fate. It was too deep for me to ponder it in a physical sense - but - it was a comfort to know - there was a 'higher force' hidden in all of us - guiding us on our way. We are never alone here.


For a single moment - everything made sense - and then nothing made sense. We (as humans) are missing the view of the bigger picture involved in the 'spiritual plan' involved in our day to day lives.


But that day in the airport - I felt (on the other side) that I knew each and every one of their souls intimately, but here - they were nothing but strangers to me. There was a reason for our moment together and it ran deeper than I could comprehend with a limited physical and mental mind.


I don't know that I felt or could recall that I had PL with any of those strangers - but - the connection I felt inwardly was of the same caliber. They were not strangers to my spirit or my soul, yet they were strangers to my human mind. Here - it was like a masquerade ball - but over on the other side - is like the masks came off and I was in the midst of old, dear and wonderful friends.


So, I don't think it is an accident or chance that we cross paths with anyone that comes into our lives and makes a strong impression on our minds.


Sincerely,


DKing

An apology


About 15 years ago, at a Church homecoming picnic (same Church) one of the bullies tried to apologize to me, and I just turned and walked away from him.


In retrospect, I should have been more mature as an Adult and accepted his apology, but the little child in me remembered the torment he (and his friend) put me through and I just couldn't accept his apology just yet.


Perhaps, under different circumstances, we may meet again, in a future life, and I may be more willing to accept an apology by then.


I can only hope.
