CHAPTER1
“They regain the knowledge acquired in former lives and strive even more for perfection. Previous practice alone impels those on the path, striving earnestly; pure from taint they gradually gain perfection and reach the highest goal.”~ BhagavadGita
DearReader
Thank you for allowing me to come into your life and permitting me to share some of its mysteries with you. This is an invitation to join me in visiting another dimension beyond your five senses; to explore beyond the limitations of your known world. Whether you already believe in reincarnation, or are being introduced to the concept with this book, is not important. What is important is that you’ve picked it up to read. Either consciously or unconsciously, you’ve decided to expand your view of life and look outside the boundaries of your earthly existence. You are about to explore the unlimited power of the universe. I’m asking you to come along with me on an adventure into another world, and just like Alice after she fell down that rabbit hole, you’ll enter a whole new dimension far from your physicalreality.
For a moment, I want you to think of life as being like a series of significant doors that you have your own keys to unlock, allowing you to explore the rooms on the other side. Each door will lead you into a room that is full of new experiences that can either enhance your spiritual growth or cause you to pause and take stock of your life’s journey. But, when a door is presented to you, it’s always your choice to either walk away or open that door and examine the room within. You can choose to take advantage of those moments that may change your life or not. You do have free will, after all. Yet, unbeknownst to us, if we’re reluctant to unlock a door at a certain moment in time, and if it’s meant to be, it will spontaneously present itself again when we are ready to go inside. I’m making this statement because from my own experiences, that’s afact.
We think we’re in control of our lives, but we’re really not. Although the decisions we make are arrived at via free will, what we don’t realize is that regardless of the choice we’ve made, whether it’s right or wrong, we will eventually be led to the path we are supposed to be taking. It may be a different door that we’re presented with, but the room (experience) and its furnishings on the other side of that door will be the same. In other words, if we miss an opportunity to expand our spiritual development, we’ll be given another chance to do so. Sub-consciously we know this and actaccordingly.
Of course, I can just hear you saying, “I would never have chosen to do such-and-such in my life if I’d known this was going to happen.” Yes, you did! Because you have free will, you sometimes make a poor choice. You enter a doorway that should have remained shut. So, you may ask, how do we know the difference between entrances we’re meant to go through and those we should avoid? Listen to your gut instinct. It will warn you with that certain small whisper of nagging doubt if you take heed. Do you know, my friend, that when you experience a gut feeling that it’s your third chakra activating? Ah yes, it’s like an electrical surge shooting along a wire. The third chakra ties the lower, earth-bound chakras to the upper chakras that connect you with your Higher Self. It is what I refer to as the balancing chakra. Hence, if you are about to make a wrong decision, your gut feelings will raise red flags that you can either take notice of or ignore. Your guardian angels will warn you in whatever way they can, but even the heavens can’t interfere with your free will, and if you choose to ignore the warning, so be it. For example, say that still, small voice inside tells you to avoid entering into a relationship with a certain person because their track record with the opposite sex stinks. What do you normally do? You say to yourself, “He (or she) loves me and would never treat me that way.” Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your perspective), we often learn more from our mistakes than we do when we seem to be making wi
