What is me-kind? Well in my philosophy – gleaned mainly from the Seth Materials and backed up by the intuitiony bit inside that says, ‘Yeah, that feels right,’ – the overarching personality that I understand as ‘me’ has had/ is having/ will have many lives or incarnations. These all, obviously, take place in different historical times and geographical locations. I’m reasonably sure I have, for example, had ‘past’ lives in Egypt as a slave girl, Europe as a survivor of a Viking raid, Atlantis as a teacher and Glastonbury as a mage and Ice Age chieftain’s daughter.
I’ve encountered these alternative ‘me’s in dreams, past life regressions and psychic readings. I’ve discovered individuals who play key parts in my present life cropping up in those lives too. All this is fairly standard reincarnational theory as it tends to be interpreted here in the West, in metaphysical circles, at any rate.
Seth takes it further though. From a vantage point beyond physical existence, Seth takes time out of the equation. Past, present and future lives, from that perspective, not only happen in the one, unfolding eternal moment beyond our Earthly concept of time, but affect one another. A discovery in one life can and will affect what happens in another. An intractable problem may cause us – with help from our soul family – to set up another life, with the express purpose of finding a solution. Slightly mind-bending, I’ll grant you, but worth considering.
Take my feet, for example. Well don’t. You wouldn’t want them – honestly. They have been causing me grief and problems for many years. There’s nothing physically wrong with them, but they’ve usually felt numb and icy cold, or they could ache and burn and the skin just felt too tight. In recent years I haven’t been a confident walker. I’m scared of slipping or falling on uneven ground; I tend to shuffle rather than stride. Most of all – and this sounds terribly strange, I know – they just haven’t felt as if they belong to me.
Now over the last few weeks, I’ve been attending Reiki healing sessions with a lady who wanted case studies for her Reiki 2 training. I’ve had some strange experiences during Reiki sessions in the past, so I wasn’t altogether surprised when she asked whether I’d ever broken any bones in my foot. I hadn’t.
“It’s odd then,” she said. “I had this very clear image of just about every bone in your left foot being smashed and broken. Horrible.”
In the time between that and my next healing, she’d been back and discussed this with her teacher. He’d told her not to share random visions and images with clients, as all sorts of things could enter the mind whilst giving Reiki. He instructed her only to talk about them if they kept reappearing throughout the session and were particularly strong and persistent.
“But this one WAS,” she explained to me, at the end of our next session. “This time I saw your feet bound – really tightly. It was like those poor Chinese women, you know?”
I shuddered. Yes, that would explain every one of the painful and uncomfortable sensations I’d had in my feet. It would explain my difficulties with walking and my fear of falling. ‘Past life?’ we both wondered. It seemed very likely. Seth talks about ‘bleed-throughs’ from one of our lives to another. I needed more information.
As usual, I went to discuss it with Koimul, my ever present and patient Guide, whom I can reach via dowsing over a keyboard. Here’s the discussion we had, partly dowsed and partly received telepathically:
Do I have a ‘past’ life in which my feet are bound, as in Chinese culture?
YES
That explains so much about the way they sometimes feel, but why are those pains bleeding through into this life? I’m assuming it has something to do with being controlled and dominated?
NO YOUR FOCUS IN THIS LIFE WAS TO BREAK FREE
And I’ve done it, yes?
YES
So why does the foot pain persist?
SO THAT YOU COULD RECOGNISE THE GREAT STEP YOU TOOK
And now I have done so…
YOUR FEET WILL BE FREE
Was D my husband in that life?
YES
Hmm. It explains so much. Can what I’ve done in this life help the ‘me’ in that other life?
NOT PHYSICALLY
But in her dreams she can know freedom and walk in my feet?
YOU HAVE UNDERSTOOD PERFECTLY
May I know her name?
XANG
Interesting, eh? One final synchronicity:
I went to bed that night wondering about Xang and her life. Just before I feel asleep, I saw a very clear image of a building with a low stone wall in front and a small dog running along outside. It was so vivid, I was fully awake and wondering what it meant. I immediately saw the same vision again. The next day, I decided to Google bound feet. The first link I clicked on was a video made by a lady who had travelled to China and found some elderly women whose feet had been bound as children. The opening scene of the film was exactly the image I’d seen the night before.
And yes, my feet are feeling much better now.
Would you mind posting a link to the video you reference?
I’ve just been back on Google to look for it and the video seems to have been taken down. It was by a photographer called Jo Farrell. The still photos can be seen here: http://www.livinghistory.photography/welcome.html but I can’t get the video to load. – Jan
Thank you for looking and steering me in a specific direction.
Your post really resonated in several levels….
Some of the most unexplained health issues usually have a link to the personality you were in a past life. Realizing that helps ease your symptoms. You may enjoy Dr. Brain Weiss’s books. He writes of past life regression 🙂
Nice post 🙂
P.S.- I am a big fan of the Seth Material 😀
Thank you, Swetha. I’ve heard of Brian Weiss but not read any of his books. I’ll certainly take a look.
Good to meet a fellow Seth enthusiast 🙂
Cynthia and I enjoy Brian Weiss’s books and meditations. I’ve been to one of his workshops and Cynthia’s been to three. I recommend checking him out.
These are also symptoms of Peripheral Neuropathy. I have similar ones and problems with balance too. I often have to look at my feet to see if I have on slippers or shoes, and sometimes I think I have socks on when I don’t. Sometimes they feel as if they are in a tightening vise. I understand the feeling of not belonging to me. Since I am not into reincarnation (altho a psychic told me I had been a religious figure in Glastonbury) it never occurred to me to blame my foot problems on a previous life. In running a support group I have come across too many others with similar symptoms. But probably none of us has the spiritual capabilities or contacts which you possess. And we have measurable problems with our nerves, measured by EMGs. Am happy (& envious) for you to have found an explanation which makes you feel better. Let me know how it continues,
Love, Wendy
Interesting, Wendy. Maybe you will be encouraged to try Reiki, if you haven’t already done so. You don’t have to believe in anything for that to help. – Jan x
That’s amazing. This is more evidence that strengthens my theory that life dream and light are immediately connected and that life is an experience of many levels of fractals in life. Thanks Jan.
Absolutely, Nam. And the wonderful thing about fractals is that we never come to the end – there’s always more to explore…
Interesting. Something I will ponder. It’s one of those things I wonder why I didn’t think of it sooner.
Yep – that’s what I meant by my ‘intuitiony bit’! You come across an idea and it just feels right (or not, depending on the way you’re exploring Life at this point 🙂 )
What a thought provoking post, thank you for sharing
Glad you found it interesting x
Not only interesting but something I can relate to on so many levels
Hmm, you’re the second person to say that, Roma… I wonder what’s going on!
There are more things in heaven and earth than we shall ever know 🙂
Beautiful! I love this. And I love the synchronicity with your vision and having seen the video online. It’s amazing (and a bit fun) to discover things from past lives that still affect us. I believe this happens very often, from my own experience. Congratulations on discovering and healing this! I seem to have great success doing this sort of thing using hypnosis.
