I doubt that I'm in a unique position where some of my hobbies and natural likes conflict with my spiritual beliefs. Every faith/belief system I have encountered would agree that killing is bad. Yet nearly all of us watch movies and TV shows with some kind of violence or other "unacceptable" behaviour. I do these things and I write. I write fantasy short stories and novels; and the next idea in my head is a Sci-fi. In my writing much like the movies and TV people get hurt, die and kill.
At first this might not seem like a big deal. However if you look back at my pervious posts you will see that as part of my beliefs thoughts can be as damaging as actions. Thinking bad things about someone is the same as saying it. But, how does this translate to Movies, TV and Books? That is something I've struggle with for some time. How can I say I believe one thing but go against it with my hobbies?
I am not willing to give up my writing. It is something I feel very strongly about and something that I enjoy. Writing has helped me through rough times. It is something that I feel is very important for me.
Again if you look back you will see that I am a believer of past lives. I believe that many of our stories, no matter how farfetched they may seem, have a basis in reality. They are events from our past lives translated in a way that we can relate to them in this life. This is the key to keeping my writing spiritual. Like thought, words and books have an energy about them; an energy given to them by the author and the readers. If the writer places a positive energy in the novel, regardless of what it says that energy will carry with it.
This is how I resolve the conflict with my writing. Spiritual books that can heal do not need to non-fiction books. I write/edit my novels and stories with an understanding where they come from, my past lives, and with the intent to heal myself of the wrongs I did in this life and to help others heal. It is by this method that I am able to write violence in a spiritual manner.

Helping Others
In previous posts I have mentioned that you are the only person that can heal yourself of a past life or Karma. You must also keep this in mind when you feel the desire to help someone. The reality of the situation is that they are the only ones that can truly help them. This might sound a little cold and this is a concept I have fought with myself but there is no way around it. Regardless of what position the person is in or what has happened to them they are there because of their past life Karma. So how do you go about helping these people?
The first thing you have to look at is why you feel the need to help them. In most cases we are driven by guilt. Guilt from our past life actions. What you need to do is look into yourself and find the true reason you are driven to help this person. By clearing your past life you are actually helping this person far more than giving them money or sympathy.
If you can get past your own guilt, or even if you don't, the other thing that you can do to help this person is to ask the more advanced souls to help this person. After this you move on knowing that the spiritual help the person needs is there for them. If you you still feel the need to do more, look inside and ask yourself why.

It's not always easy
In my previous post I wrote about how you deal with your past lives. How you clear them or get a healing from the karma they have on you. Written down the process appears quite simple. After all it is just a list of steps. Reality however is completely different it takes a lot of time and practice to be able to clear past lives at will and even then is not all that easy. Our egos get involved. The effect of this is that when we get a past life it turns out to be more what you want it to be rather than what it is and thus is not cleared. There are also distractions.
This weekend I was sick. I recognized that the source was not a virus or something in this life, but the past life that drew that virus to me. So, I started my process of figuring out what I need to heal. The problem was that I was so physically distracted (pain and nauseous) that I couldn’t focus. I could not detach myself from the situation long enough to do what I need to do to figure out the past life involved.
It is important to understand that no matter how far down the road you are; sometime you encounter a situation that is a struggle for you. But, you keep on struggling, you learn and you heal. In the end you are spiritually stronger than when you started.

Past Lives - How to Deal with Them (a reply to M)
Hey M, I'm glad you posted your question and I will do my best to give you an answer.
The first thing to do is to look at my last couple of post, specifically Past Lives - How they Affect You?" In this post I describe how the events and situations of this life are controlled or drawn to us based on our past lives and karma. In drawing these situations to you, your higher self or soul is looking to give you an opportunity to heal the situation.
As I mentioned in the post the positive situations/emotions are not an issue (as I'm sure you would agree). We therefore start by looking at the negative emotions that you are feeling: isolation, fear, loneliness, and uncertainty, whatever the emotions are that you are feeling.
The next steps take some effort and practice and you may not get your healing right away, f you don't, I'm sad to say you have to start back at the beginning of the process (looking at your emotions).
Once you have identified what it is you are feeling, and then you must start to look inside. These feelings and the situation that caused them are not someone else’s fault. No one made you feel these things. You then separate yourself from the emotions, and recognize that these emotions are not yours but those of the past self. As you become skilled at this you will be able to identify the specifics of the past life.
The last step is to separate yourself from the past self. This is the most difficult piece and the hardest to explain. Many people I've talked to have different ways of visualising this. But what you are doing to completing your experience and releasing the past self.
If the situation does not clear there are two common reasons. First is that you have not cleared the past self, likely because you got the past life wrong. The second is that you are now being affected by a different past life; it is common for past lives to build on one another, so that many lives have had similar situations and emotions with them.
M, I hope this helps you out, if you need more detail or have specific question please let me know and I will focus on those areas.
Love and Light,
Terry

Past Lives - How they Affect You?
As I posted in previously, I believe that we have lived past lives and in those lives we have created negative, positive and neutral karma. We will ignore positive and neutral karma as they don't have an effect on us. It is how ever the many negative karma situations that we must worry about.
To understand how we can clear or heal our past karma we must understand how they affect us.
The events in our lives are drawn to us, whether they are "good" or "bad" based on the energy relationships (karma) we have with those situations and people. When we encounter a situation that brings out a past karma we transfigure. In transfiguring we become the past self. The past self then tries to play out the karma or situation as it knows (basically repeating the actions from the past life. In this way we are basically reading the script of our past lives. This is why many situations in our lives are repeated. We are being given the chance to deal with our karma from a past life, but until we do we follow the same script.
Follow the same script does not mean literally doing exactly what we did before, but it means we end up with the same energies and emotions in play. In a past life you may have argued with someone regarding the ownership of a horse and in this life it could be a car or something completely different. It is also important to know that in order to understand a situation we must experience both side. So the person that robs you may be someone you stole from in a past life.
When a past life replays it is not the specific action that are ultimately important but the energy and emotions of the parties involved. In a future post I will go over how to heal a past life/karma. But to get started I recommend that you watch your emotions. Watch for negative emotions (hate, jealousy, sadness) and actions (gossip, physical violence); recognize that these things are not emotions or actions that you desire.

Past Lives - How old are you?
Over the past little while I have posted regarding dealing with negative events and situations. In many of the posts I referred to the source of these situations as being in our past lives and past selves. Understanding past lives is an important part of dealing with negative events in out lives and healing.
Today it would be very difficult for you to find a person that did not have past lives. The fact is that our past lives control almost every aspect of our lives unless we do something to stop it. We would all like to believe the physics when they say we were someone important, but the reality is that in most of your life you are not notable people from history. You are just as you are now, a person living out his life unknown by most of the world. I don’t mean this in a negative way; it’s just a statement of fact. After all does this not describe most people?
Often when you visit a physic they like to tell you that you are an old soul. My brother-in-law was just told this exact thing, but has anyone ever asked them what they mean by an old soul? To be honest I'm not surprise that so many people are old souls, because it is a subjective term. Before you read on I want you to answer two questions. How old is an old soul (years old or number of life times)? How old do you think your soul is?
Well it may surprise you but an average soul can be hundreds of thousands of years olds, having possibly lived thousands of life times. You can see how some psychics could think of the average person as being an old soul.
In future postings I will cover how our past lives affect our current life, but it is important to understand that our souls are much older than many might think, and that those thousands of past lives have influence over our current actions and life.

What I Really Want
I had a reply recently regarding how to handle/deal with wants. In the specific case, I would guess it is a want that is having a large impact on the posters life. Ultimately, it is up to the individual to say that the want is a negative thing and to make the changes to move away from it but I think an explanation of where our wants come from will be useful.
A want is basically a physical object or an emotional state that we desire. In some cases we justify the want to ourselves and in others we can explain it. It is a just a deep down want that we have and don't know why. Most people will say that it's because of our society or our up bringing. You might be able to find "evidence" to support this but this is not the true cause of the want. In reality you drew those experiences to you to set up the want in this life.
I have talked briefly in the past about past lives and their impact on our current life. As you can probable see by the number of times it comes up that past lives are an important aspect of our spiritual growth and learning.
The source of wants is your past lives and karma. It might sound simple and in a way it is and in some ways it's not. We cannot want something in this life that we did not have and/or want in a previous life.
It is likely based on the number of lives we have lived that you have lived a life of privilege at some point. You would have had vast sums of money and were able to buy anything you wanted. In this life you don't have the endless resources, but your pastself is trying/wanting to live like they did previously.
Alternately, you might have been married or had a close relationship with someone, but in this life time that is not possible. You pastself would be use to having that person close, loving them and being loved by them. In this life they will strive to do the same. They will not understand the current situation or why they cannot have the love.
To deal with a want you must first recognize that it is negative to you. You must believe that the want is not good for you. Then you must realise that the want is not yours, as in it is not you in this current life that wants but the pastself. You then separate yourself from your pastself and let them go, must easier said then done.
If you are successful with the separation and release that pastself, it will no longer have a negative impact on your current life. Does that mean that your want will be gone? Not necessarily. We have many lives, and through these lives we add to our karma. If you do not clear all the past lives or get the source life time it is likely you will have to deal with that want again or a variation on it. But, it is important to understand the even though that want or situation maybe the same, the past life could be different.

It's All Your Fault
How many times when something bad happens to use do we blame other people. We have become a society that doesn't want to take responsibility for anything. Spill a cup of coffee on yourself and get burned? It's not your fault the coffee shop made it too hot. Well guess what it is your fault. You know when you buy a coffee it will be hot. I would bet the same person would complain it's cold if it wasn't. But, the point of this is not to rant.
What we need to understand is that we are responsible for what we do, happens to us and how we respond. This is regardless of what happens, yes I'm saying that if someone comes up and shoots you, it's your fault.
Now this may seem harsh to a lot of people. It seem harsh to me when I first heard the concept, but it is the truth. Everything that happens because of an energy relationship and our karma. Maybe that person shot you because unknown to either of you, you shot and killed him in World War II. Alternatively, he might have shot you in World War I. It is likely that the two of you have been wronging each other for several life times. As soon as realise that the reason "bad" things happen to you is because of something you've done you can really do something about it.
The fact is that you will relive your past karma until you do something about it. The first step is recognizing that the problem is inside not out. Then you can look inward for the root cause. Use what you feel as your guide. Recognize that they are the feels of a past life.
There is a lesson to be learn in almost everything we experience. If we stop blaming we can find the real causes to our problems and learn.

The Psychic Body
In yesterdays post I briefly mentioned the psychic body. The psychic body is one the three spiritual elements of who we are. The soul or the higher self is at the top and the psychic body is the first structure above our physical bodies.
Our psychic bodies act as the direct supporting structure of our body. It is created when we are conceived that grows and develops into childhood. During this time the past lives and karma that are to be dealt with in this life are "downloaded" from our mental self. This is one of the reasons why childhood can be such a traumatic time for a lot of people.
When we die if we do not let go of this life it is your psychic body that remains behind trapped here. These psychic bodies that remain on earth are what people call Ghosts; the term I have been taught is discarnate. Ideally when we die, we let go and our psychic body is integrated back into the mental and higher self.
All our illnesses, diseases, emotions, injuries, mental illnesses and negative events are directly linked to our psychic body and the karma and past lives within it. All of these things can be instantaneously healed, but finding the route cause of the illness, that past live, and releasing it / obtain a healing. In this way there are no incurable diseases. It is also here where we store the experiences of this life, positive or negative.
I have also mentioned sub-astrals previously and, made reference to them attaching themselves to you. It is to your psychic body that the sub-astrals attach themselves. I post at some point in the future more on sub-astrals; I think they warrant their own posting.
Again your psychic body is much more complex than outlined here. The purpose of this post, the previous post and like the next couple is to set the ground work for further discussion. I need to first outline what your spiritual self is, then I will get into how we can interact with it.

Do We Have a Soul
Many people question if we have a soul or not and many people have tried to explain what a soul is. It is my belief that we do have a soul and when we die that soul lives on and at some point in the future may be reborn into the world. The key statement there is maybe reborn. This leads to two questions, when it will happen and what if it doesn’t.
The when is a hard question to answer. I know you are not going to like my initial answer which is, it depends. The timing of rebirth is first dependant on the advancement of the soul. Younger or less advanced souls cannot control when or how they are to reincarnate back into this world. Old or more advanced souls can select not only when they will reincarnate but the situation that they will reincarnate to, choosing their parents.
Not returning to this world can result from two scenarios. The first and more desirable one is that the soul had advanced beyond this world, or at least to the point where it can now live indefinitely on the higher dimensions. The second possibility is that the soul has degraded to a point where it is no longer capable of being a soul. In this case the soul is returned, to where again will be covered later.
Now the Older/Younger implies that souls are created and obviously not all at the same time. Souls are constantly being created, being lost and not returning. The age of the soul does not directly determine its advancement. However age does play a part, as a young soul can not be advanced because it does not have the experiences that are required. Alternatively, just because a soul is old does not make it advanced. A soul’s advancement goes up and down based on its experiences. It is possible that when you die you are less advanced than when you were born.
After all this and I still haven't said what a soul is. The soul is an energy being. It is this being that it our higher self, these terms are interchangeable. I have heard to it referred to as our Christ self. If we can make contact to our soul there is very little we can not do. We can instantly resolve Karma and past-life issue and we can even alter our physical body. It is this connection that allowed Jesus to walk on water and perform some of his other "miracles".
Now you may think, this is great, I'll just connect with my soul and things will be great. What is missing from all this are the two levels that are in place between our soul and our bodies: the Mental self and Psychic Body. Both of these contain our past life experiences and karma and it is these that block us from interacting with our soul directly.
As you can see this topic is very large. Over time I will develop these concepts further and introduce new ones.
