You Chose This Life
There’s a popular phrase coined in spiritual circles called “past lives”. You might’ve heard of it. It’s basically a theory that we all are reincarnated beings who have lived many lives, sometimes countless.
Some people have reincarnated into this present life with the desire to fulfill a life mission or purpose.
Others have come into this world to pay back karmic debts.
Some people claim to have been an alien in another dimension of time and space. Some of them can even talk back to them.
Although some of it might be true, it’s very helpful sometimes to a person who is trying to understand their present situation and to possibly heal from trauma.
That’s all good.
But one ingredient of the soup that people don’t seem to care about is their present lives.
All things being equal and balanced one can start to go down the rabbit hole of quantum entanglements and far-fetched ideas. It’s easy to get lost in the web of possibilities and impossibilities as to how a soul was created and how my current life plan doesn’t seem to align with my astrological chart.
One might call you a kook.
Others might look at you with disdain.
The remembrance of past lives allows us to shape our future
We are obviously here for a reason. The universe isn’t some cosmic candy factory pumping out endless junk. If I were to break down for you the main problems you are having in your life right now, I could easily relate it back to a past life.
The main ingredient being regression — I think it’s safe to say that the lessons one learns in this life can aid us in another, and another, and so forth.
The problem is remembering.
We have to dig deep to find the gold, stuffed away in our soul imprint.
Nobody wants to live their current life
We’re always caught up in other people’s lives. We love celebrity gossip. We can’t wait for a Hollywood couple to finally tie the knot — or break it. We spend our hard-earned money on becoming other people. We go to the gym to shape our bodies into something else because we’re unsatisfied with how we look. We watch sports heroes slam dunk their way to excess and popularity secretly hoping that one day we too might enjoy the illusive success they have. We cringe at social media influencers but end up buying their products anyway through affiliate programs hoping that maybe we too will find a glimmer of success.
Whether it’s a product that promises happiness, a relationship that promises fulfillment, or some lifestyle that tells us how to live, we can’t escape other lives. We can never be present. We live from person to person, job to job, hoping something will give.
The problem is that it never will satisfy. Only the present and all its strange quirks and subtleties will. The pain, the suffering, the joy, and the sorrow will never cease. It’s an endless cycle of regurgitated lesson plans.
Most people fail.
We constantly choose the ending
Nobody died and made you king (or queen), except for yourself. You chose the storybook for your happy little ending. Some call it a sham, others bliss.
Think about the consequences: what if you could be anything you want? What if you could be a wealthy person in one life and a poor one in another? Everything balances out.
A wise sage once told me that there’s no good or evil. Nothing right or wrong. Only experiences.
Some people say “why is there all this suffering”? I’ll tell you why. It’s because a lot of people aren’t living the life they chose. They want out. They want a better deal. What they don’t realize is that their next life might be just what they wanted in this one — only better.
