Shift Movement

Let us now speak of the space of you understanding your past lives and the aspect of why you do not remember them, why you do not remember who you have been in physical form.

You are complex Beings in so many ways. You have all lived many, many lives and you have experienced many things. These things that you have experienced have become who you are today, they are the current expressions of you, they are as real as the flesh you know to be yours. The expressions of lives past are the expressions of your present life for there is no separation in time or space.

The meaning of your past lives

The memories of your past lives are signposts. They are signposts that you have planted along your journey so that you can revisit them to gain an understanding of how your past experiences have contributed to your expression of Self in this existence. Your reason for understanding them is not to cling to them any more, not to become lost in the pain of past existences, but to understand and to release them so that you can become a fuller expression of your Expanded Being in this and future existences.

In your pasts, many of you have experienced much pain. If you were to reconnect to that pain again from the space of separation from your Being, it could very easily take you to the edge of an abyss that you will not wish to visit. It is one reason why you cannot remember everything that has happened, it is your own self-preservation. That is why when you look back from the space of your connection to your Expanded Being as your guide, it will allow you to see the experiences but it is not necessary for you to feel the disharmony of those experiences, for that does not serve you. You do not need to re-live or re-experience the pain of past existences to gain an understanding of how those experiences have contributed to your expansion or how they have held you back.

The alchemy of the universe

When you are connected to your Being, you can gain awareness of those experiences, accept the role they were intended to play in your spiritual growth and release your attachment to them. When you do this your Being expands, the Energy of those experiences is released back into All That Is and it is transformed into the Energy of compassion and so the universe expands. This is the alchemy of the universe, for it is through your release that all experiences are transformed into an Energetic substance which is more valuable than the gold you prize on your planet.

Many who have gone back to experience past lives have received different answers and we wish you to have awareness of the expression of Self that is asking the question, that is seeking the experience. If you ask the question from a space of separation from your Being, from a space of fear, from a space of wishing to fill an empty space within you with some fantastic story to give your life meaning, then you will more than likely uncover a misguided past experience. Your current limited expression of Self will guide you towards it and it may make an intriguing story. But, Young Ones, it will not contribute to the release and expansion of your Being from these past experiences, for you will still feel your attachment to it, you will still feel connected to the pain or the drama of that story.

Then there is the other way, to ask from the space of the Expanded Being. When you ask from the space of a Being that is already whole, from the space of your own eternal compassion and you move back through your history from that space, you will see and understand more about how you can move forward in this lifetime so that you can be your fullest expression of Self now.

From this space, it matters not who you were in your previous lives. Knowing if you were a great leader or a simple farmer will not serve you moving forward. It matters not who or what you were, what matters are the aspects of Self that were manifested in that life. What matters is how closely you heard the messages from your Soul.

If you were attached to your experiences in those lives, if you took them on and saw your failures and triumphs as you and made them part of your identity, then you will have created the experience of separation from your Being. They will be holding you back in this life as well, for they are creating the separation between your Energetic and your physical Self, they are the expressions of your Constricted Self. You can create separation whether you are a great king or a humble servant, so it is not who you are that matters, that is not what makes you great. What makes you truly great is when you understand and release your experiences in each existence and you become a clearer and stronger expression of the magnificence of All That Is and contribute to the alchemy of the universe.

This is the value of understanding the circumstances of your past existences. With your awareness, you can choose to release any attachment to the experiences from those existences that are holding you back and move forward into a new beginning in this existence. That is the space to explore your past existences, for it will support your growth and connection not just to your own Being, but to all Beings on your planet as you see the sameness that exists in each of you beyond the labels of your identities.

From the bestseller “Messages from your Soul” Book 1 in the series Conversations with DZAR

Hello all,  I’ve been having such a hard time since I’ve recently heard these similar teachings from Delores Cannon’s books. Twelve years ago when my intense spiritual quest for knowledge began, most of the teachings had me believe that when we leave this physical body, we enter the spirit world and continue on in the non-physical dimensions, but we retained our memories. Now, since this other theory has been introduced, I’m starting to think the people who say, “when your dead your dead, that’s it”, might not be too far off in a sense. If I lose my personality, the person I see in the mirror everyday, and that has these thoughts and memories, wouldn’t it seem like I’m non-existent. It would be the same as a person who has a severe head injury and wakes up and has amnesia. If they don’t know who they are, who their spouse and kids are, or anything else regarding their life, they’re not the same person until they regain the memories. I’m having such a hard time putting my exact thoughts into words. I tried this on my wife before I attempted to write this message, and I know she didn’t completely understand where I was coming from, but I know there has to be other people out there with my same concerns. I doubt if anybody alive today has the answer I’m seeking. This teaching also doesn’t coincide with the hundreds of Near Death Experiences I have researched, or how a person who has died 100 years ago can communicate Via EVP, or through a Medium. If their reincarnated and living again as somebody else, how can they still be coming through as themselves from the other side? I’m probably going to have to wait and see for myself when my time is up, but I am a seeker of knowledge, and it’s driving me crazy. Sorry for the long post, but as you can probably tell, I have a lot of stuff going on in my head.

Danny,

I so get what you are saying.  For a long time I was in the same mindset.  When I’ve asked for clarity on this, a few things come through, and have been corroborated in my life experience.  

We do not lose our memories, we lose our attachment to our memories.  This is occurring with people already as they combine spiritual and psychological principals and receive wisdoms as they heal.  This is why reincarnation works out karma.  When we die, anything unhealed within us will be born again within us in the next life.  Some people even remember past life experiences, but really it isn’t the experience or memory that is important.  The healing of the soul wounds caused by the experiences is important.  It matters not how I was wounded, or how I wounded others.  It matters that we heal our wounds.  When they are healed they no longer come with us in our next lifetime and our mental/emotional/spiritual attachment to the memories ends.  

I have experienced this in healing wounds of severe physical, sexual, spiritual, mental and emotional abuse as a child.  I still know that what happened, happened, but I have few emotional ties to it.  It took a long time to come to authentic forgiveness.  I was able to after hearing a definition of forgiveness that worked for me.  ”Forgiveness is letting go of the wish that the past could/should be any different than it was.”  I had to acknowledge, feel, process and release many emotions that were stuck energy in my body.  This process still continues, but is easier now as I know the way.  I still know my story, have my memories, but I have very little attachment to them.  They are just a story.   This has released me from some self destructive, repetitive  cycles in life.

The I am, that will continue forever, whether I ascend and don’t have to reincarnate again, or whether I don’t, is the witness of all of this.  I am the one who sees.  I am not my body, I am not my memories, I am not my thoughts or emotions….I am not my personality, although I once believed I was all of these things.  I am the observer of these things, part of the great I Am, one with all that is.  When I feel the truth of this in my body, when I am feeling my I amness and it is not just a mental concept, there is only peace.  I knew this feeling from when I left my body and went into the Light, during childhood abuse.  It took me many, many years to remember how to go to that feeling place in my everyday life.  My goal is to live there permanently.  I am hopeful as I see this process speeding up in people.  Right now I am there about 30% of the time, until something else rises for healing and my insides get chaotic with the release of it.  I can go through the process with far less chaos now than in the past.  When I get to the other side, back to the spaciousness of observing, and return to the feeling of  Light …. it is heaven. I live in the present moment and memories mean nothing other than sometimes useful as teaching tools.

I hope this helps a bit.  I see that both ways of thinking are correct.  We do not “forget”.  We lose our attachment to our memories and therefore lose the personality that we once saw as “myself”.  We do not lose who we really are, the observer of all of these things, the creator of all of these things.  The creator and his creation are one, but also not one.  This is the paradox of oneness.

Be the Love

Hi, Danny.  The DZAR stuff is fascinating, no?  And knowledge (the stuff you say you are seeking) is so very crucial, no?  I feel that knowledge is like a compass:  It continually shows us where we are, and in what direction we are heading.  But what prompts us to change direction, to make a u-turn, to alter our course and go over the mountains?  It is our hearts, our spirits, that are the Seekers!  We use knowledge.  I think key words in the DZAR stuff are soul and energy.  They represent the same realities as heart and spirit.  The  thing that fascinates me about you is your drive to love, to help others.  (You wrote humorously about this in one of your recent posts).  Whatever that drive is, in you and in all of us, it is certainly our connection to, and a part of, the Divine.  It is Danny with a capital “D,”  and in me it is Jim with a capital “J.”  Whatever that spark, the Divine, is all about is the key.  Knowledge is important, but it is not the Center (though all knowledge is part of the Center).  Love is the key, the Center, over and over and over.  Every act, every choice, every thought, every union.

T. S. Eliot wrote something like:  “In the still turning point of life, there is the dance.  There is only the dance.”  I think that says it all.  EVERYTHING is about relationship, about the dance.  We are all part of the Whole, and yearning to be even more a part of the Whole.  That is the drive of life, the life force, that we feel.  That is the insatiable drive you are feeling.  We seek, choose, to live (even when living means dying).  So keep loving, Danny.   -jim

Geez, Lori.  I felt such love towards you, reading what you have (so accurately, so clearly, and so inspiringly) written.  I had just written a reply to Danny, and then, when I checked to see if my reply was successful, I saw what you had written.  It seems to me you have pretty much nailed it.  Thank you, thank you, and thanks for leading the life that has led to your healing, understanding, and expression.  -jim healy

Dearest Jim,  

I felt your wave of love.  I am glad my writing resonated with you.  I love how you bring people back to love.  I am a love junkie lol.  It is the only healing energy there is. We all intuitively know this, but many are slaves to their mental and emotional bodies, which tells them they need to get love mostly from other people.  They do not know that they truly are not their thoughts and emotions.  As these aspects of ourselves are capable of much illusion and destruction if we see them as who we are, it is important for all of us to feel who we really are.  Some do this through meditation.  For me it was through watching my thoughts and feelings.  I began to be aware that I was the watcher, that I was not what I was watching.  What I was watching was mostly reactions to my conditioning. My watcher self started to feel the same love and compassion for my conditioned form self, as I would for any friend going through the same thing.  Who I am (it is impossible to name it or explain it…one has to experience it) has the power to love me as a parent loves a child.  Who I am sees what needs to be done, in terms of my thoughts, emotions, feelings, personality etc. and directs me as a loving parent directs a precious child.  I have found that as I detach from my personality, and love it from afar lol, the love I receive from those around me increases also.  Those around me have expressed that they feel more loved by  me.  I can love them unconditionally, as a witness, as I am learning to do more and more for myself.  Who I am has no attachment to the personality that I am, and gives my personality the space and clarity it needs to transform.  My goal is to bring my personality in line, congruent with Who I am, in each moment.  It is an amazing, interesting way to live.

Lori

spot on, Lori! the Love in Me melts into the Love in You! <3

First off, I want to thank both of you, Lori and Jim for taking the time to help me better understand my question. I also feel like I’m a love junkie Lori, It actually drives my wife a little crazy. I’m so filled with Love that whatever we happen to be looking at out in our beautiful yard, or watching some young dancers on TV, or just about everything else, I’m always saying how much I Love this or that. She’s not at the same spiritual level I am, and doesn’t quite get how I can love everything so much, not that she’s complaining. I have forgiven every person including myself of everything that has supposedly hurt me. I even look at my chronic pain disorder as a blessing. That didn’t happen over night, but I now see that if I didn’t go through this 19 year pain ordeal, I would not have grown nearly as much as I have. It has given me the time to really look deep inside and see who I am. Sure I miss going out to dinner or seeing a show, but that stuff doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things. I guess this is why I first posed my question this morning. Here it’s taken 52 years to become this person I love being, and then to think that when I died I wouldn’t remember who I’ve become. I don’t really care about losing specific memories, because I didn’t like who I was early on. I was still a very loving and caring person, but I didn’t have any confidence in myself, and I was a pessimist. I just want to remember who I am at the time of physical death, and remember that when I emerge on the otherside, because I’ve finally achieved my goal to become ME. I love you both for helping me, and someday we’ll probably meet on a spiritual plane. That’s the kind of stuff I’m talking about, where we would connect on the otherside, and say, oh so your Lori, or Jim, or whoever we might know. One thing I can say for sure, I am 100% comfortable with the thought of death and dying, and that was the main reason I started my journey 12 years ago. I was terrified with the thought, and now I’ve come 180 degrees, that’s success. Thanks again and Love Always.

Danny,

I do believe we will be able to do that.  It is hard for our human minds to conceive of.  I have been there.  It was being in pure unconditional love, and energetic creativity.  There were no words, as such, or thoughts.  I knew who I was and I knew who others were.  I knew what they were meaning, with no words or spoken languages.  There was no possibility of lying or hiding and because of the overwhelming feeling of unconditional love, no need. There, each being, is a feeling, a resonance, not a body.  Names are not necessary although if you wanted to remember the names you had in each incarnation you could.  They were something you had.  They are not who we were or are.  We are the energies or souls or spirits that do the remembering.  We were the energies that used that particular body and mind in that particular lifetime.  If you and I met we would recognize each other and know which lifetime we met and as what personality.  Don’t be afraid, we lose nothing.  It how it is retained that is differents.  We have to remember.  Earth rules and constrictions don’t apply there.  The rules of form are different on each planet that has life forms, some in ways that we on earth could not imagine.  In what I grew up thinking of as the between worlds, there is no form, only energy.  This energy or theses energies are who we really are.  This world of form is where we play.  We have  a body, a mind, thoughts and feelings in the same way as our bodies have an arm or leg.  You would not say I am my arm or I am my leg.  I am the body that has them.  I am the energy that is using this mind and body and these arms and legs.  I am so much more than what I see in the mirror.  I am so much more than my personality or memories. These are all things that I have, not things I am.  Thinking that I am my personality is like thinking I am my reflection in the mirror.  Try to get your reflection in a mirror to do one thing without you doing it first.  Try…LOL!!   We are the puppeteers not the puppets.  We are born into this world and we forget this.  The forgetting is necessary, for the healing needs to happen in response to life.  In this way we heal our souls.  We are raised among people who have themselves forgotten.  Danny, you have done well with working with your personality.  You have brought it a long way, but it is not you.  You are the energy that observes your own energy bringing it to life.  Some call this the higher self, or the observer self or the christ or buddha consciousness.   Hope this helps.  I still at times forget who I really am, I lose connection with the feeling of it and get caught up in the drama of egoic consciousness.  I don’t stay there very long anymore.  When I am there it is hell in comparison to knowing and feeling who I really am.

Lori

(Just wondered.  You said you fear losing the you that you have become.  Who is your real self, the you that you have become, or the you who fears losing it, or the you who can observe all of this going on?  Which you to you fear losing?)

Hi Lori, I guess I fear losing my awareness of what’s going on in my present state of existence. I feel like I’ve been working out all my fears and anxieties, and have emerged as this person, so that’s who I feel is the real me. But as you’ve explained since being over there, or whatever we should call it, that we don’t forget who we are, then I’m not afraid of anything anymore. After hearing how much you enjoy being on the other side, and from what I’ve learned from reading and hearing about all the NDE’s, I’m looking forward to that experience more than anything. I don’t know where your from, but in my area of the US, I get a TV channel called the Biography channel. A couple of years ago they started airing a program called, I survived, Beyond and back, and it’s a show about people who have clinically died and they tell their stories of how it happened and what it was like being dead. For me, a person who has been researching the NDE fo so long, this show has become my favorite. They air it on Sundays at 9:00pm, unfortunately, like all shows they only make about 10 or 12 per season. I absolutely love hearing peoples personal stories. You know they have had a real experience when your able to look into their eyes, and I would say 99% of the time they end up crying because it was so beautiful. Anyway, I get carried away when I start on this subject, it’s all so magical and filled with Love. Thank you for listening and responding to my chattiness. Is chattiness a word? It is now.

I like your chattiness.  I have quite a bit of chattiness myself.  I have seen the program you speak of.  I never had a near death experience.  I would leave my body in quite the same way during extreme abuse.  As a child I thought of it as climbing sunbeams.  I would return with no memory of abuse, although my body and emotions remembered and had many symptoms of what was happening.  I told my mother about climbing sunbeams and was told about imagination.  I never forgot but I forgot that it actually happened.  I beleived my mother’s perception of it.  I read about NDE’s when I was older and thought about how similar the descriptions were to my climbing sunbeams fantasy.  When I was 33 as a result of a coach teaching me how to watch my thoughts and keep my mind in the present moment, I started having flashbacks.  No details are necessary.  With the flashbacks came vivid memories of climbing sunbeams.  I knew that I had in fact left my body in the same way people do in NDE’s.  The difference was that with me it was repeated throughout all the early years of my development.  I always knew things that I didn’t know how I knew.  Now I know how I knew them.  I am 51 now, and I also live with a chronic illness, ostiogenesis imperfecta, (the brittle bone disease).  It is actually a collagen disorder which causes all of the bodies’s tissues to injure easily.  I am a registered nurse who specialized in Neonatal Intensive Care.  Because of increasing injuries I’ve been on permanent disability for the past 8 years.  It has been such a blessing.  Learned so much.  Hated a lot of it but the learning is worth it.  Do you know anyone else who connects what happens in NDE’s with the out of body experiences abuse survivors sometimes report?  

Lori

Lori, I did that for years myself concerning childhood abuse.  It took me years to be able to remember  a lot of it and there are still years I cannot remember living at my home ( about 8 to 13 years old).  Those dissociative times were actually like OBE’s or NDE’s and I have had other experiences happen which were beyond normal life events that helped me to cope and overcome.  It is all much like what you have said.  I learned from it and it helped but it wouldn’t be my first choice of how to have those OBE’s!  I truly wish there were more programs and more ideas for how to reach the abusers better and help either to prevent or to help them become aware of what they are doing so the abuse will stop!   Children shouldn’t have to have their whole lives blown apart and then have to spend a lifetime putting it all back together!  If, as Oprah says, fighting in front of a child changes who they are…..just think of how grave it is to abuse a child directly!  In many cases, I believe it can result in something akin to “soul murder”.  Those children will never be who they arrived here as!  They will become something else and all by the choices of others….long before they even had a chance to become old enough to decide for themselves who they are and what they want their life to be.  I guess this is my “chattiness” or “getting up on my soapbox” moment!  Thanks for listening and caring.  You are an amazing person Lori!  I love you and send you all the energy I can for your highest good.  I am so proud of you!  Namaste

Danny, thank you for your willingness to be so open and sharing from the heart!  I think you are an amazing person as well!  May your life be blessed with love and light!  Namaste

Thank you Melody,   You are right.  Not the most pleasant way to have an obe, but then again neither is a NDE.   Sometimes I am not sure if I came all the way back into my body lol.  I am very glad to have had all the experiences now that I’ve worked through the painful stuff.  I am glad that knowing that I am not my body or brain or any other part I have that will perish.  I am glad I know that there is mind and communication without them.  I’m glad I was able to experience the Light first hand.  Without the energetic wisdom I received, I may have not been able to navigate childhood with my psyche intact.  I am glad that I know that the memories and details don’t matter once healing happens.  I do not remember most of my childhood still.  I needed only to remember enough to heal, as divine source would never expect me to go through it all  twice.  I see it all now as preparation and needed to become who I chose to be here in this lifetime.  I am glad we are coming to a time that karma doesn’t have to be worked out in this manner.

Lori

I totally agree, Lori!  Bless you for being who you are and all the light, love and wisdom you share here!  Namaste

I’m sorry to hear that you Lori, and Melody had to go through abuse as a child, but I’m very happy you both have turned it around. It’s so hard for me to conceive a child being abused, or for that matter even an adult. So many people don’t get over it as you two women have, and I think that contributes to the violence we have in the world. I was very fortunate growing up. I didn’t even hear my parents argue until I was in my twenties. My wife and myself have been together since 1992, and we have yet to have an argument, and I don’t see that ever happening. Thank you both for all your kind words and listening to me ramble on.

Namaste
