I’ve been reading a bit about life between lives – the time between lives when we plan our next incarnation. According to what I have read, we plan the outline of our life based on the things we want to experience. While alive, we can add details (we have free will) and we can feel the emotions associated with doing whatever it is that we have planned.
For example, we may plan a life with children. We can idealize parenthood and dream of it. But no amount of planning prepares us for the visceral emotions when pulled in ten directions, while listening to screaming children, and having to get dinner on the table – that is the hi-def experience.
A Spirit Guide explained to me that between lives, we make choices and decisions with total awareness. We are shown what is to be. We are not drafted into these lifetimes, we choose them. However, we have to live these lives to get the full meaning.
The message went on:
“In the transitional state, you will know and see what is imperative for you to know. But it would not be a blessing for your natural development to know ahead of time how things would switch, turn, and be. Part of the gift of physical life is being fully immersed in the lifetime that you have selected in order to bring it to the fruition of it’s highest and greatest good.”
So, on some level, we know in advance about upcoming dramas, crises, and situations. We are not completely surprised by them. We have a clue. Then, in the body, we co-create the situation, adding to it, fleshing it out, and feeling it.
Spirit remarked:
“If you had known the pain that you were going to go through, you might have said, ‘Well I won’t love as deeply.’ Then it wouldn’t have been as sweet, or as real, at that time. If you had known traumas or things that were going to happen, you may not have selected being there, or you might have quit. It is imperative to stay with the program. It is co-created. The results, while they were glimpsed ahead of time, have to be lived.”
This reminds me of Garth Brook’s song, “The Dance” in which he says, “I could have missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss The Dance.”
You can mentally know what is coming, but actually experiencing it and having the feelings fills out the experience. It’s a knowingness, not a thought or a hope. We came to “know.”
So, the next time you find yourself at a crossroads, the next time you find yourself in a dire situation, remind yourself that there may be a lot to be learned from that particular experience.
Let me know how you’ve seen this play out in your life.
