You have protected yourself by divorcing the emotions from the images of torture. You heart has felt it could not tolerate the pain of the compassion, empathy and heartbreak of these feelings, but emotions are not divorceable. It is like divorcing your bowels from your brain. You are all part of one body, one being—bowels, brain, mind and emotions. It is time to re-marry the separated parts of yourself which have never actually been separate but have simply stopped communicating with one another. This lack of communication has led to misplaced assumptions and resultant misunderstandings.

Now, your spirits inhabit your bodies as though they were separable from them, like a car and driver. But they are not truly separable, and it has never been right to treat bodies as disposable. You have worn yourselves down and lost much power over lifetimes through the cycle of birth, death, and in many cases, birth and death again, again and again. This cycle has appeared to be the natural way because it has happened for so long, but it is not the way it is meant to be.

Some of you have lived hundreds, even thousands of lifetimes on Earth. For others, it is the first time around here–and the last. It is not a question of which paradigm is correct, the wheel of reincarnation and karma or one shot at embodied / earthly life. Both are true for different types of beings.

The beings who have reincarnated on Earth many times are the old souls. They have much more responsibility for the state of the world as it is today than those who are only now born into it for the first time. The new ones, the once-borns (as they were called) have responsibility to save themselves if they wish to live. If they do not, then death will be their lot, for each in the time which is right, and that will be the end of their time on earth. This is not necessarily wrong for them.

On a personality level, we are all ‘once-born’. Personalities are formed at the moment of birth, which can be read in the astrological chart of the tropical zodiac.

I am an old soul on Earth—an ancient one. I remember my other lives in aggregate, though only a few in great detail. I tend to live with a kaleidoscopic profusion of mental images and memories. Most of my past lives ended badly, which is not an uncommon pattern for we old ones. I have become stuck in the pain of my past deaths. I have died many times, in terrible ways.

None of my memories so far include slipping gently away at the end of my days, surrounded by my loving family, as I rise from my body and into the welcoming light. That has not been my story. Being burned at the stake, tortured, starved, or wasting away in painful torment has been more my style.

The reasons for that are complicated and I won’t go into them here. But I cannot blame others for my own patterns. I see lines of causality connecting me to my experiences, and I accept the responsibility inherent in that causality.

Science has proved that time is not linear. Thus, there are no ‘past’ lives that are really over with, finished, or ended. I still experience every one of my lifetimes, at some level, concurrent with this one. In a sense, my deaths are yet to come, since I am still alive in this here and now. As long as I live, there is hope that my other selves may yet live. The past is subject to change due to my evolutionary growth. Still, memories of death are also true, because my body (which is bound by time) holds the emotions triggered by these past deaths, and can only continue to hold them until those emotions are released.

These emotions were born with me and have been the cause of most of the compulsive behaviors, futilities and failures of my life. This is the fate side of the double-sided coin. On the free will side, I can choose to allow those ancient emotional imprints to express cleanly, thereby releasing the patterns that hold them in place, and thus changing my own fate, past and future. The memories themselves may not shift until all the held charge is released, so changes, when they come, tend to be sudden from an experiential point of view.

I’ve already lived through several of these global internal transformations. But I’m not finished, for my history is long and the layers are many.

For as long as I live, there exists a possibility that I may yet live forever. If this possibility manifests, then the experience of eternal life will be translated to my other selves, some of which exist in my chronological past, and some in the so-called future.

What of those who do not boast past lives, the once-born? Who are they? Their fullest focus as beings is not here on this planet. Most of them are extrusions or extensions of vast selves which exist primarily on other planets. Their prime attention is focused elsewhere. Earth is not their primary home, merely a side trip.

Whether we feel love for Earth or not, if we have lived many lifetimes here, Earth is our primary home. We are bonded to her by virtue of the many bodies we have borrowed from her, made of her sub stance, whose elements have since returned to her. We are owned by the Earth, and in turn, own her.

The once-born, though not the enemy, are the greatest danger we face, for they can not relate to Earth as we do, and they can not understand. They are not focused with their full loving attention as spirits here—Earth is not their primary matrix. They cannot act, here, from their hearts, for their hearts are not with them. In point of fact, they are not right to be here in the first place. They are an invasive species, so to speak.

At present there is nothing you can do about them. The best thing you can do is to call those spirits who do belong here to return home now, and this includes the rest of your own consciousness which currently drifts in worlds of dream and fantasy, seeking escape from the pain that pressures your bodies and minds to be released. You can call yourselves home through your intent to awaken and accept the responsibility that is yours. However, much of the consciousness that belongs on Earth has been displaced by consciousness that actually belongs elsewhere.

This displaced consciousness can return in several ways: it can be born anew into infant bodies (and this has been happening for some time already). It can enter an already-existing body whose own birth spirit has abandoned it. This is quite a common occurrence, as those who do not belong here seek escape. It can suffuse the elements of nature—a spirit could take up residence in a river, for example, or a forest glade, or a hive of bees. Depending upon the inclination and affinity of the incoming spirit, it could bond with a frog or a giant tree, with an entire ecosystem or with the biosphere as a whole.

Earth has need of these lost children now, and is calling them home. Many earth spirits (such as the consciousness of the faerie folk, little people, gods and goddesses, devas, monstrous and magical creatures) have been pressured almost completely off the surface of the planet. The once-borns are here instead and spirit essence which is of the earth has been pushed out of its place. Before life eternal can manifest for anyone, all spirits need to find their true homes and occupy them, and spirits who are occupying space that belongs to others need to leave it and find their own places.
