Past Life Alert
June G. Bletzer
Are young adults getting tattoos and wearing jewels in their nose or lips because it reminds them of their lives as indigenous people? Are gangs a spillover from tribal disputes that were not settled? Could the fact that salad bars went over in a big way be because so many of us had some past-lives where we had very little to eat?
All of these are "alert symbols." Most of us have some alert symbols from past-lives unknowingly in our homes because our gut jumped when we saw the article in a flea market or garage sale. Unknowingly it reminds us of a happy past-life and makes us feel "at home" once again.
Probably you would not have anything in your home that reminds you of an abusive past-life - unless another member of the family put it there! If we did, we would not tarry in that room, but always be changing the color, the furniture or buying something new. It may be the only room in which you raise your voice in anger. You do not realize that that uncomfortable feeling is coming from the energy of something that reminds you subconsciously of a life when you were victimized or the victimizer a rug, a picture, a color.
Emotions have memory regardless of time. A past-life of a happy time could be as long ago as the beginning of the human species. All trauma or euphoria that one encounters hour by hour is recorded in your muscles, bones, body parts, the subliminal records of the subconscious mind and in the United World Wide Memory Bank DNA. The knowledge our subconscious mind contains depends upon the emotional state we were in at the time the activity happened. It is the memories of these emotions that drive us in each new incarnation, bringing us joy and happiness, as well as correcting something we have chosen to correct from the past.
Probably the best way to control the subconscious mind, since we do not know for sure what memories it contains, is to stay focused on one thing at a time. To make this easier, surround yourself with as many alert symbols as possible from your pleasant, happy lives.
Begin with the colors you like best. It's easy for women to fill their wardrobe with clothes and shoes of their favorite colors. If you cannot find a coat that is the correct color, wear a scarf with your colors in it. Men, you could buy your casual clothes or nightwear in your favorite colors. The color of your car and the seats are important too, because it surrounds you daily where much thinking goes on. Be generous with that color in the kitchen. If you share the cooking, share the coloring and trim. If you cannot paint the walls where you work, be sure the chair or spot where you relax at home gives you a homey feeling.
Are you always drawn to a restaurant specializing in a particular ethnic food? Food is another good alert symbol to subconsciously put you in a happy mood. If you want a dog, get a dog. And if your residence doesn't allow dogs, collect ceramic dogs or pictures. Buy tapes of your particular music, for your car or home. Go to a concert to enjoy your style of music before you make an important decision. Don't forget the color of towels in the bathroom that come close to your skin. Your skin has memory too.
Ask in meditation or before going to bed for the happy past-life to surface in which the culture used these particular colors, foods, hairstyles, etc.
The objective is to surround yourself with what matters most inside you and around you, with as many alert symbols as possible: articles, people, skills, weather, food, travel, etc. These symbols tend to alert the atoms in your body that they were with you at another time in another dimension. This takes away that "fear of the unknown" in each new life and makes new challenges more exciting.
Why does this work?
Emotion is the fundamental manifestation of the Vital Life Force working on every level. It cannot be seen or touched but can be felt. Every form of life possesses it in varying degrees. It's a highly concentrated form of energy consciousness, which stimulates a pattern of organic responses in the body. It can be felt physically and experienced mentally. When an emotional injury takes place, the body begins to respond the same as to the healing of a physical wound.
What draws these items, people, and situations to us?
Everything is made up of atoms. Each atom contains electricity, magnetism and chemistry. Our intelligence is the electricity in the atom, our emotion is the magnetism, and the chemistry relates to our own body chemistry. Nothing escapes the law of "like attracts like." So atoms like to get neighborly and draw to themselves situations, articles and people they have known before.
By surrounding yourself with as many alert symbols - items, people, weather, skills, food, communication, etc. - as possible these symbols tend to alert the atoms in your body that they were together at another time, and they intend to stick around and stay friendly. When you are in harmony with yourself, you have more control of your focus and you can focus on that which your Soul intends you to be focused on.
The energy within the emotions retains the memory of the emotion, activity and thought. It stays with us from one life to another in a do-over state or a satisfied state, changing frequently and surfacing when needed.
