Remember that movie “Chances Are” with Robert Downey Jr. and Cybill Shepherd? In it, Cybill’s husband dies, goes to heaven and wants to get back to his wife as soon as possible. So he runs off, and the gatekeepers of heaven forget to give him his shot that erases his past life memories. I love that movie, and it’s kind of how I think about myself; someone forgot to give me the shot so I would forget.

How the Heck Do I Know That?

As a child, I felt a strong sense of “Knowing” certain things. I frequently asked myself, how do I know this? It wasn’t like a fleeting thought or an opinion, I just KNEW beyond a doubt, absolute truths. Why did I have this information and how was I certain it was the truth? I hadn’t been told or exposed to these things, nor had I read them in any book and I was quite young, but I felt much older and wiser than my years.

I came into this world with a strong understanding of the truth of who I am and what this life is. When I got older, people told me I was crazy, or that I was “being silly.” So eventually, I let go of that understanding of things and replaced it with the commonly held, limiting beliefs of most people.

A Member of the Group

Now, years later I am hearing the same things I knew back then from dozens of other spiritually enlightened people. It is so exciting and wonderful to find out; I am not crazy, I did “know the truth.” It wasn’t an “overactive imagination.”

So what I am talking about specifically?

More Advanced Society and Healing Processes

Even as a young child when I would hear about medical treatments (radiation, surgery, chemotherapy) my immediate reaction would be “that is so primitive!” I suspected that I already knew about something better, something less invasive and more efficient. Otherwise, why would I instinctively know that cutting open a body or poisoning it to cure it, was ludicrous? Now years later I have found EFT which for me has been a miracle cure for every single ailment I had.

Flying in airplanes also made me wince at the archaicness of it. I feel like we are living in the Flintstones age.

Holographic Reality

I would also lie in bed at night and put my hand against the wall almost expecting it to dissolve. I had such a strong sense that none of this life was real, as though we are living in The Matrix (although the movie had not yet come out). Everything felt like a dream, and my dreams were more real than reality. Have you ever felt like that?

I remember thinking how “limiting” being here was, that flying, healing and controlling our reality was all a matter of thought. My mother used to say “mind over matter,” often and that always resonated with me as the truth.

Everyone Creates Their Own Personal Reality

When I was about 11, while waiting for the bus, I had a startling revelation that was simply truth put into my head by my higher self. “We are all living our own distinct reality; we create them ourselves.” I was stunned for a minute hearing those words so clearly inside my head, but I did not doubt it. I knew it was true. I have never forgotten how I felt at that moment and how that experience helped to defined me.

Creating our own reality is a complex idea. How can each of us be living our own separate reality, and how does each one interact and overlap? Does that mean there is no “ONE” reality? I have a much better understanding of that now, but at the time, it baffled but also delighted me.

Conscious Connection With God/Universe/Higher Self

Throughout my life, I have been able to instinctively, consciously connect with God (actually feel God’s energy combined with mine and hear a voice in my head which is not my own). I think this is how I knew real meditation from the hack attempts I made later on in life, which yielded nothing. I can feel the love and joy of God whenever I want if I am open and willing to receive it. Connecting is easy, being willing and believing that it truly is a connection to our source, that is the hard part for many people.

I also draw upon the healing energy of God/The Universe when I need it. I feel the weight and density of that healing power in my hands and relief is quick and effortless.

Pure Energy and Light

I have always known that we are all pure energy. When the radio signal in my car would get staticky, I just put my hand near the radio, and the signal would clear instantly; I became a human antenna. No one ever told me to do it, I just knew, and it works, every time.

When I was in my teens, I read every spiritual book I could find. One of my favorites was “Illusions” by Richard Bach, and I read it many times. I had such a strong sense that nothing here really mattered. It feels like a giant playground, so worry was unnecessary. I felt it from a place of knowing peace and contentment that we are all safe, nothing bad can happen to any of us, and we are eternal. A Course in Miracles confirmed this truth for me.

So much of the Illusions book, and others I have read as an adult, resonate with me deeply. I can’t help but smile as I read their words and feel so connected to others like me.

Past Lives

I also have strong memories (glimpses in my head) of being on the Titanic. I know I have lived many lives and I carry with me memories of each one. That knowledge comforts me when I feel constricted by this lifetime. There is always more to come, more adventures and more ways to live, learn and grow.

I am constantly learning and growing, and I look forward to future adventures and experiencing other times and other worlds.

Light Workers

Light workers like myself are witnessing a massive shift of awareness as many people start to “wake up.” It is so exciting to be around, so many other like-minded people invested in spiritual enlightenment and helping others through healing. There are so many books, websites, and programs available now to help cultivate growth and awakening. These are wonderful times to be alive and experience the shift of consciousness taking place.
