Present Day Clues to Past Lives We all have present-day clues to our past lives. A good place to begin exploring is your life-long passions. What were your interests in grade school? High school? Who were your heroes? Are you fascinated by another country or a particular period of history? What do you feel strongly about? In fourth grade, I started reading every book I could find on the fall of the Alamo and the liberation of Texas. And I’ve never stopped. As I write this, decades later, I’m just finishing a new Sam Houston biography. My son Travis was named after William Barrett Travis who drew the line in the sand at the Alamo. As a teenager living in the Midwest, the worst fight I ever had with my father was over a Confederate Flag I hung in my bedroom. “My grandfather and all our people were Yankees,” Dad said, “Take it down.” And all my life, I’ve loved the 1800s through early 1900s traditional music from Scotland and Ireland that was reinterpreted in the Appalachian Mountains. Tara points out, “Your lifestyle orientation is totally the American Southwest, but you love the South -- the music, the food, the authors. Most of the authors you read are Southern writers?” Tara’s spirit guide Abenda found someone in spirit who claims I was born in the South to George and Omyra Mills in 1824. The family moved to Texas and at age 20, I was serving in one of the loose-knit armies. “You were on your way home, riding a crow-bait horse, when shot by the Espanolas. You died in the arms of a friend who tried to save you -- your son Scott in this life. You took great pride in being Southern.” Using my own Past-Life Regression CD (UD101), I observed first-hand, scenes from the incarnation. Many were so vivid and real, it was if I had actually stepped back in time. In that incarnation, I had grown up hearing tales of the heros of the nearby Alamo. And as a young man I wanted to do my part to avenge them and resolve the Mexican threat to my family. Most interesting to the present-day me, was the feeling of being a swaggering young man. Historical Note: At the Alamo, 187 Texans held off Santa Anna’s army of 4000 from Feb. 23 to March 6, 1836. Sam Houston’s army defeated Santa Anna at San Jacinto on April 21, 1836. Although Texas won the war, border conflicts continued for years. I evidently died in one of them. Explore your present pleasures. As anyone who has ever read Tara’s “Personal Notebook” column at our Website knows, Tara loves horses. She has recently been exploring a past life as an English male who shared her passion. Research has uncovered interesting information about the man, including the fact the very unusual spurs Tara wears are identical to those he wore. For me, there are few pleasures I enjoy more than the old-time music concerts we often attend. If you’re willing to share your own story, please write or e-mail me. I’m always looking for case-histories to share -- present-day influences relating back to past lives. Also of interest: any “reincarnation theme” awareness you’ve gathered. We’re all working on a theme -- a series of lifetimes to develop particular understanding. Mine is “liberation” -- freedom of the self and from the self. Tara’s theme relates to a lineage of priest incarnations -- a counselor who shows the way. Beginning with this issue, we’re going to begin releasing an expanded selection of past-life regression sessions on CD targeting specific civilizations and specialized searches. Each CD offers two 35-minute sessions: Vol. I: Lemuria and Atlantis. Vol. II: The Life Most Affecting Your Present Life and an Egyptian Lifetime. More CD releases will follow. We’re releasing 12 additional CD titles in this issue. Please check them out. Plus the Buy 2 Get 1 Free offer is still in effect. The Lake Arrowhead 7-Day Flight-To-Freedom Retreat (limited to 16 people) is our most intimate annual gathering and I’ll be conducting private past-life regressions with all participants. Tara will do a private psychic reading. We still have some openings. Thanks for ordering, thanks for visiting the Website ... and thanks for your interest in our work. Dick Sutphen Malibu, CA |
