A Beautiful Voice…In My Head

Calling “Frank!“

I’d originally written this post back in January 2018, then rediscovered it again in March of 2020. I still held off in posting it for reasons described below. Then, on Monday, August 29th, between 7 and 7:20 a.m., while waiting in a doctor’s waiting room the following occurred:

I was filling out paperwork to have some carpal tunnel symptoms looked at. I was the only patient sitting in the rather large waiting room. There were exactly three other people there, the receiving receptionist, and two secondary receptionists: one to the left and one to the right of the entrance.  The one to my left left her partially cubicled desk and came over to the main receptionist, who sat out in the open, and they chatted the entire time I was there, while the one on the right came and went and had presently sat at her partially cubicled station by the entry into where I was headed. When I first entered, one of the nurses in the area I was to go came out and called for the single patient waiting there before me. That now left only me in the entire waiting area. As I’m sitting there filling out my paperwork, listening to the two women pleasantly and loudly chatting (and, yes, also loosely following their conversation–I had no choice really, they were that loud and they were pleasant about it all), I hear clear as a bell and loud as a bell: “Frank!”

I look up.

No one is standing where I expected the nurse-from-the-back to be standing. I lean forward a little to see if I can see her around her cubicled wall. No one. I replay the chatting the two women are doing and recall no such words that even remotely sound like “Frank,” “skank,” “tank,” or anything otherwise similarly, because, yes, they were talking loudly, and yes, I was listening.

I look all around me and I’m still the only one in there.

I sit for a moment or two more then get up and approach the main receptionist and ask if my name had been called.

They both looked at me as if I’d just killed a puppy in front of them, as I interrupted their conversation.

I told them I’d just heard my name called, and they young lady paused and said nope, they hadn’t. I shrugged and returned to my seat. Sit some more, but after a few more moments later check the time and see I’ve been sitting there 20 minutes. I returned to the main receptionist and restated my case that I’ve been sitting there 20 minutes and really swore I heard my name called–and that could she please call into the back to see if someone had, indeed, come out and called for me. Maybe just hadn’t seen me (you know in this HUGE, empty room…)?

The receptionist said okay, and lifted the phone to make the call, when out from that back area comes my nurse. “Oh, there she is!” says the receptionist.

Here’s the thing.

I heard my name…CLEAR as a bell…heard the enunciation of the “F” and the “rank.”

It was clear. Projected. Loud.

It was unmistakable enough for me to twice query others in the world about it. Sounded exactly as if a nurse was calling out for the next patient.

This is not the first time something like this has happened to me. I’ve actually lost track of how many other times it has happened. But I have heard my name called out a handful of other times in different places. When I’d done some float sessions I’d heard lots of voices that went into phrases and even full sentences. I’ve been reticent in posting any of these because I was employed and didn’t want to have my sanity questioned, but now that I’m retired, I’ve decided its time to post about these odd little events. It’s been a long time since I’ve had “anything weird” overtly happen to me, so this was so cool that I finally had something weird again happen.

I did a quick Internet search just now and haven’t seen anything new on the phenomena that was positive. Just another psych article that it’s all made up. Or the result of a “trauma.” Well, I have had no such traumas. My thoughts on what I feel may cause this phenomena I’ve described below, in the “Beautiful Voice” section.

I have, however, written up some of these incidents and have included them below. It is very time consuming to look these up because of my extensive journals and I just don’t want to put the time into it right now, but you’ll get the point: this has happened to me a lot over the years, though I’ve only gone back to 2015. It’s a really cool thing to happen, you know, as long as they’re not hearing negative voices and all–and by the way, not once were my voices ever mean, negative, or anything else.

So, here are some I’ve been able to quickly unearth: I’ve included them as verbatim as possible to make them”fit” into this post, versus how I’d written them “for” other styles or purposes and also cleaned up typos:

The Sound of Children Playing (Oct 18, 2016)

“When I got home from work yesterday, I took a nap. As I lay there falling asleep, I loudly heard in my head, the sound of children laughing and playing! There were none around the house, and I knew it was in my head.”

Smell of Coffee and a Shout Out (Oct 17, 2016)

“Interesting: at about 2:30 a.m. I awoke to the strong smell of coffee! But no one was up—no coffee made!

“And yesterday, I got up around 4:30 a.m. I went downstairs, but laid back down on the couch…and heard my name called out loud and clear as I almost fell asleep! It woke me up! Sounded as if it came from a “hollow” enclosure. Sounded like Laura (my wife), but she was not up.”

MileHiCon47 (October 23, 2015)

“When I went up to MileHiCon47 two Fridays ago, I was standing in the first floor lobby in line to check in, and I again heard my name—loud and so fricking clear—and it was above all the clamor and hub-bub of the hotel. The loudest I’ve ever heard my name called before! It startled me! I look around…cause I swore someone there had spotted me and called out. But no one. Not even another “Frank” (I heard “Frank!”  shouted out). This happens to me all the time, but it’s usually in a quiet place, like at home, or when I’m alone, in bed. First time out in public. Very weird.”

Note the “first time out in public” mentioned!

From the Middle of the Bedroom (August 15, 2015)

“I again heard my name called out in the bedroom by a pleasant female voice not my wife’s. Laura was elsewhere, downstairs, and this voice came from the center of the room.”

And now for the main write-up that started all this back in January of 2018:

A Beautiful Voice in my Head

On January 7, 2018, in my bed, I’d awoken around midnight or 12:30 to the beautiful voice of a woman singing…in my head!

I’ve had this happen before, where I’ve had a woman’s voice humming or singing in my head, but I could never make out the words. This time, I could kind of make out words…or more to the point, I could just barely not make out the words to the song, but heard “word-like items.” And the music of her voice was positively incredible! After I awoke, the voice continued to sing for quite a (little) bit until it faded away. I just lay there listening to it.

My wife has a beautiful voice, too, but, no, this wasn’t her—in fact she was lying in bed beside me, fast asleep.

And it did not come from any external source, like a TV or a vampyre outside my window—it originated from inside my head.

As I’ve mentioned above, this has happened to me before. I thought I’d posted stuff like this before, but cannot, as yet, find anything I’ve posted. But when I hear a voice like this, it is usually brief and intense. Usually it’s just the my name begin called, but as you’ve seen above, I’ve experienced more than just my name voiced.

I did some research into this.

Here is a 2007 Psychology Today article.

Here is a 2014 article.

Now, the above two articles mainly focus on trauma. I’ve had no such trauma and when I hear a voice, it’s not nasty and not interactive. Usually I only hear my name mentioned. Once. A singular call. I’d originally written this post four years ago and held off publishing it. I only recently rediscovered it. I was a tiny bit concerned that others might think I’m going nuts or something, but then thought, I am not the only one having this kind of experience, people know me and my various “weirdnesses” and know who I am. Know that I’m not going off the rails. That I have, and continue to have, odd experiences that I’ve detailed and also included into some of my novels.

I also wanted to take this public so that others might have another data point to understand their own experiences.

This article takes a more positive approach, but was still not what I was looking for.

So what am I looking for?

I believe that sometimes such voices may originate from another dimension. Yes, I’m going there. When I heard these particular instances…the singing…my name…I knew it was not me…not the “me’s” we know from being inside our heads. Not “those” voices. So it has to originate from elsewhere. I feel that it must come from some other person in some other time and/or space.

Maybe it’s another version of me trying to reach out.

Maybe it’s someone in this or another time just thinking of me and suddenly all the psychic “stars align” and we psychically “line up.” Reach each other on the psychic “party line,” for any of those out there who know what that means.

It could also be bleed over from a dream or hypnagogic state. This actually does talk about people hearing their names called out.

And that’s about as far as I’ve gotten with that.

I don’t worry about it. It’s not frequent. Nor bothersome. I find it cool.

There is so much out there that we don’t know about, and I find things like this amazing and fascinating. I don’t dismiss something just because it “doesn’t make sense.” I identify it and try to analyze it. Document it. Try to understand it and allow more such experiences into my life, because they are always cool and amazing!

If I were really going off the rails, my family and friends would call me out on it. As it is…they usually say something like…”Oh, that’s just Frank….”

The Ancients

Background

Recently I’ve taken to watching the Ancient Aliens television series while doing my morning exercise regimes. It’s truly a mind expanding show if you’re at all interested in this kind of thing. In the very least, it gets you to thinking that some of this ancient archeology is just not quite what traditionalists make it out to be.

Case in point: it’s always bugged me how sharp and crisp all the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics are! Especially when one show, elsewhere, tried to show how they were made and with what tools! There was no way that they could be made with such primitive copper tools–and they knew that because it was quickly glossed over!

And that’s just one reason.

As I’ve come to gain more familiarity with the series, as much as I love it, I do part company in believing that absolutely everything they claim stems from extraterrestrial aliens (do you get my “funny” here? “STEM“!) Giorgio Tsoukalos, David Childress, and the gang all seem to fervently feel that all they’ve witnessed had to come from elsewhere.

I disagree.

My Argument

But don’t get me wrong–I do believe most of what they present, but with a caveat: I don’t think much of what they feel happened were as a result of extraterrestrial aliens. I feel another faction was also involved: ancient civilizations.

Not UFO ETs, but ancient, far-more advanced “Humans” were involved, in civilizations much farther into our past than even we know.

You see another thing that really bugs me about their series is that these guys and gals never differentiate between the different kinds of tech involved with the so-called ET aliens. There are two distinctly different technologies involved in so-call ancient events and encounters:

• Sleek high-tech, nifty Star Trekkie/Star Wars-like technology
• Present-day, brute-force fire-and-brimstone rocket-fuel-like technology

These guys never seem to realize or comment on that. I mean, they’re all quite smart and notice all kinds of other discrepancies across history, but not one of them has ever commented on this stark, in-your-face discrepancy! Do they truly not see this?

I feel that you can’t really have both, because one presupposes the other. Why would you need a brute-force launching mechanism that breathes fire and smoke and rattles the earth like an earthquake if you had quiet, sleek, smooth hyperdrives that are subtle and beautiful and sleek in design?

You wouldn’t.

Therefore the only real solution, in my humble opinion, to this would be different sets of “aliens.”

Now these different sets could be far more than what I’ll present here, but I just see it as another, unexplored consideration.

I feel that there were extremely advanced civilizations much farther into our past than ever realized. And I feel it were these civilizations that may have been responsible–and still are, to present day, for many current sightings–for the more “muscular tech” described and portrayed in the ancient writings. I also feel it were these civilizations that were involved in the more embattled scenarios described throughout history, where one faction fought another, as presented in Sumerians, Akkadians, Assyrians, Hindus, and other similar depictions. I feel any so-called ET aliens had gone way beyond fighting among themselves. At their level of development such acts were no longer be any kind of a consideration to them–or would result in immediate and total obliteration. I don’t feel a civilization could get to their level of advancement keeping violence in their inventory.

It would be those who are, then, the extraterrestrial aliens. They have the sleeker, more advanced technology that doesn’t involve brutish, action/reaction propulsion with all the smoke and fire ejecta.

I feel that it were these unknown ancient-ancient civilizations (even long before such people as the Atlanteans, Lumarians, etc.) that helped the known-ancient civilizations that we all know and love. It were these people who still ended up fighting amongst each other and had more “primitive” high technology.

This said, I also feel that it were some of these civilizations that then did, in fact, leave Earth for Mars and other …locations. They could very well have then also become…extraterrestrial aliens.

But…

You may well ask.

Do I believe in other ET aliens that don’t originate from Earth?

Fair question. I do not.

My reasons for this may be a bit out there, but I feel that physical existence is all about Humanity. That there is a physical (corporeal) and nonphysical (incorporeal) universe, and in the corporeal world, humans are, indeed, it. We are how incorporeal entities are manifested when they “impress” themselves upon the corporeal landscape. And we need this corporeal existence to properly learn how to control/manipulate our individual and en mass powers before progressing on to other forms of existence. That is why I feel Humanity is really all that exists in terms of “other physical beings.” It’s not just about the Drake Equation and statistics. That’s Human logic, not incorporeal, metaphysical logic. And since it’s be hard-pressed for an Human to think that way, you have to get as close to it as possible, and math and statistics is not that way, because those are physical constraints, not nonphysical ones.

That said, I do believe there are unimaginable (types and quantity) incorporeal beings out there! Beings who used to be corporeal and/or had never been corporeal that inhabit an unimaginable existence “outside” Human experience…but who do intersect with our experience. I feel all of these different experiences merge and weave throughout each other, like multi-dimensional Venn diagrams.

I also feel that there are “forces” out there who are intentionally muddying the waters and perhaps “displaying” themselves as “reptilians” or some other odd form of corporeal expression. For whatever reason(s). Non of this matters to me. I’m concerned about spiritual and philosophical growth. Not about the “toys” that are being focused upon (and I don’t mean this dismissively to those concerns with these…but that is how I look at it–it’s not the tech that’s important, to me it’s what’s behind all the tech).

It is from all of the above that all these weird events originate–in my humble opinion. I think some of the “events” were mass dreams/hallucinations/even flat-out fiction that [in/advertently] became “fact,” while others were intentionally created from these dreams and myths to be presented as fact for whatever reasons they had back then. I mean look at today: governments and secret societies make shit up all the time. They present these “stories” to the public at large to intentionally muddy their secrets and keep them as secrets. And…HUMANS being HUMANS..all over and across all Time and Space…is it that far of a leap that other humans in other times didn’t do the same exact thing we’re doing?

Yeah, So…

How did I arrive at my theory?

I have read many books on many topics over my life time: everything from the Bible to Edgar Cayce and Jane Roberts. The most neutral readings I have ever come across were from Jane Roberts and Rob Butts. Like Cayce, the information they detailed also came from a trance state, and the person involved was Jane Roberts (again, as I’ve mentioned before, all belief systems claim “inspiration” in their creation, so it’s no leap that a trance state could also be consider “inspiration”). Her husband, Rob, transcribed it all. While some transmogrification errors have been induced in some of the material (usually in the beginning and at the ending of each session), it was in these works that I found the most clarification of all-things esoteric that were NOT heavily garbed or filtered in either the belief systems of Jane and Rob or the tropes of Humankind and religion or anything else. Jane and Seth’s messages are as pure and clean as a message of this kind can possibly be. And it is even quite self-aware of this fact, sometimes even commenting when it is being somewhat filtered by Jane’s views or not. In nothing else have I found such self-awareness on the part of the messenger and/or the message, such neutrality in content.

While I never knew Jane, I did know Rob. We’d become pen pals when I was a teenager in the late 70’s and remained friends until his death in 2008. We wrote a fair amount back and forth, and he always came across as a very level-headed, thoughtful, and reasonable man. An artist he also was. He was a you or me. Solid, not flighty. Wasn’t about chants and crystal balls. Had even served in the military. I’ve read all their published works, many of their books more than once. It is in these works that I have read of what I’ve presented above and experienced in my own life hat were therefore proven to me many, many times over my life and even presented in this blog page (yes, I put it all to the test and it always came through with flying colors).

As to the ancient civilization discussion from Jane and Seth, you can search this link for a listing in several of Jane’s books. In my journey through life I’ve just further applied reason to all the “ET alien logic” that Giorgio and the Gang propose. Though they are thoughtful and serious about their work and I hope I could meet them someday, it just surprises me that they haven’t come across Jane’s work, but have mentioned Cayce’s work. They could at least mention it as a possibility, like they do with other considerations. Hopefully Seth’s work is merely an oversight on their end.

So, even if you think I’m daffed, just watch the show and make up your own mind: does it make sense that all that they’re saying is “the same”? Sure, I could be wrong, but it makes zero sense for there to be those two sets of “opposed” technology simultaneously present and so classified as described. I hope Giorgio and The Gang can reconsider their position.

Shameless plug: My novel ERO has some of the above incorporated into its story for further, more entertaining (if unnerving) reading!

The Key, By Whitley Strieber

Over this past weekend I’d read the short work by Whitley Strieber, called, The Key, about his weird encounter with a strange man, whom he’d come to call “The Master of the Key,” or, simply, “The Master.”

It was definitely in keeping with who Mr. Strieber is and the angst he continues to apparently shoulder. While the book was riveting and fascinating, it is largely couched and framed in traditional religious frameworks and symbology (except for where the being really gets into some things…), which was quite off-putting–though understandable (Mr. Strieber’s background and religious preference, so I can see how difficult it would be to reconcile such arcane knowledge with this kind of belief system). At one point he even says to the being that he feels he should worship him/her/it! He just did not get anything this being was trying to convey, which was quite frustrating (that God is in everything–including in Whitley himself, therefore you don’t need to be worshiping others…). It was sad to read, after knowing most of what Mr. Strieber has been through, as documented through his books.

Id est…

I have read many of Mr. Strieber’s works, including his Communion series. In them he quite admitted to his angst and refusal to deal with certain issues, eventually walking away from his relationship with a possibly extraterrestrial being. I have not followed him since, nor searched his site, because, frankly, I don’t know that I want to get caught up in all that again, and because of what I’ve seen in this, The Key, and the titles of his latest works. With all due respect to Mr. Strieber (we all have our journeys), he remains quite rigid in certain very critical ways, I’m sure levied upon by his chosen belief system, and this being said, I do see why any such being would have to communicate with him in similar symbology to “get through” to him. When it really comes down to it, we can only communicate with those to whom whose languages we speak.

I do have to ask a striking point: why this continued perseverance by this/ese being[s] at targeting Whitley?

Why not pursue someone more open to their messages? Less confined by their belief systems and angst who can better insert their messages out into the world (and I’m not suggesting myself–it’s obvious I am not that guy!)?

He’s constantly rejected and fought and balked at their contact and continues to have difficulty with them. Even during the discussion documented in this book, he tried to one-up the being in a couple of word games and tried to “run circles around him logically,” as Monty Python might put it. But put simply, this being wasn’t having any of it and called him out on it several times.

So, why do I think this/ese being[s] are continuing to pursue him?

I believe they’re actually related! That the being is a future version and/or form of Whitley Strieber…and is therefore never going to give up, much like a mother to a willful child.

I liked a lot about the book, and what the being said rings true with less religiously troped messages I’ve read from other such “beings.” Don’t get me wrong, I don’t claim all-perfect secret knowledge, but I have read all of one set of another’s works who also gave insight into the nature of reality “and all that,” and that person was Jane Roberts, along with her husband Rob Butts (both deceased). They both transcribed information from an entity that called itself, “Seth.” I have also read other messages from other purported entities, and none of them, including Edgar Cayce, had a more neutral and “factual” delivery that wasn’t couched in human-developed “camouflaged terms” and belief systems.

There is no one way to answer all of these issues, and it is critically important that souls of all faiths come to grips with what is going in our world. To deal with climate change, stupidly prevalent secrecy, greed, and all the other inequities that are going on out there. Or as much as the Human Race can take on.

I do not believe there will be a singular “end of the world,” however, because, as the being stated, all time happens now–simultaneously–so that being the case, if we were to obliterate ourselves, how does that fit in with everything else the being states? Don’t probabilities also exist in this simultaneous time? I have direct, personal experience with “probable realities.” What about all the myriad of probabilities existing within “all time is simultaneous”? So, to me, even if we do kill ourselves off…there are other probabilities just as real where we do not. But it is still eminently critical we take responsibility and control of our mistakes.

If I am so entirely vexed with Mr. Strieber, I have nothing against him and am actually quite impressed with the man, because for all his difficulties–including having sworn off any more such contact–he continues to try to branch out and understand and reconcile and assimilate these messages that these beings are continually trying to impress upon him. He is brave and meticulous and honest in all that he does and think. He lays it all out there. He strives to be a better Human.

In the end that’s all any of us can ever do.

Remembering Jane Roberts May 8, 1929 – September 5, 1984

This is where it all started for me. Seth Speaks, by Jane Roberts, ©1972, Prentice Hall

I never was able to interact with Jane Roberts.

I’d written her back in the 80s, but—little did I know—she was already full-bore into the health problems that ended up taking her life: complications from rheumatoid arthritis. Now, what was really cool was that her husband, Rob Butts, wrote back. And from then until his death in 2008 Rob and I wrote each other. We never met—almost did—but we did talk on the phone.

Jane and Rob—and Seth—heavily influenced my life by showing me what’s behind the curtain of life. That there was more than we physically saw…and that we can see this stuff. Manipulate it. Make it work for ourselves. I found their work with the 1972 publishing of Seth Speaks. I was hooked ever since, have read all the books, multiple times for the original work in the 70s and 80s.

So, I’m remembering you, Jane! Wondering what you’re up to now! What cool adventures are you having?

I love this poem she wrote, which is in this link. I don’t normally use things without permission, but I am doing my best at attribution. I hope Laurel Butts doesn’t mind me using it, but if she does, I’ll remove it.

Here’s to you, Jane!

Death is following,
I hear his step upon the stair.
And birth is waiting,
And behind this death and birth
A million doors
Which will open and close,
Through which my image must pass.

There is always one following,
And one waiting, and none forgotten.
For the end shall overshadow the beginning,
And the shadow of the rock is the rock.
This moment is Forever, poised upon our dream.
I am born a million years and know no tomb.

The Ghost Inside My Child

“Airplane Crash! Plane On Fire! Little Man Can’t Get Out!”

I read about James Leininger (now, a full-fledged Eagle Scout teenager) years ago (around 2000, or so), when the story about the young two-year-old reincarnated from the downed WWII pilot, James M. Huston, Jr, first came out, and have been following his progress ever since. Read the book, Soul Survivor,  his folks published.  The other two stories of reincarnated children on this video are new, and I’d never heard of them before but are just as riveting. I don’t want to say anything about them, so you can enjoy the discovery on your own, in the above, 41-minute video, which was just posted on the Leininger blog.

Not shown in this video, because it’s about children, is another pretty incredible story, involving Jenny Cockell. I highly recommend checking out her and her books, one of which is titled, Across Time And Death, A Mother’s Search For Her Past Life Children.

The thing about reincarnation is that everyone does it. It’s not just those who’ve died nasty deaths…but those who have died nasty deaths are probably more apt to recall past lives, because the circumstances had been so horrible upon their deaths. I’ve also read that some souls, upon death, immediately turn around and jump back into physical life—that doesn’t mean they’re reborn in the same year, that next second, but that they just don’t take any time to “relax” or assimilate their deaths…and jump right back into physical reality in whatever time period they chose (and in James’s case, he describes a little about that briefly in Soul Survivor…about how he, essentially, “floated around” for a period of time looking for the right parents, and observed them for a little before choosing them—note, I said choose).

And, as you watch the above video, consider this…those personalities who have reincarnated into our time? They were also reincarnated in their lives.

Ever consider that?

We all “reincarnate” throughout all our lives, in that (in my humble opinion) we all live multiple—and simultaneous—lives. Life is far too intricate and wondrous to be limited to one, single life. We all have far too much to learn, and we just can’t fit it into one life. I’ve talked about this before in other posts.

It’s disheartening that situations like these arise and the parents involved are not equipped to deal with them. Need to “make it better” or can’t “fix” it. There’s nothing to fix…only to understand. And in understanding, it’s not about the previous personality taking over the current one’s life. It’s simply a matter of understanding what’s happening, fully addressing it, helping the child understand…but also understanding that your life is yours…not anyone else’s…not even that previous personality’s. One should not be worried about a child talking about “another mother”…or that that “other mother” will take over your affections. Don’t you see this can be Daisy-chained ever farther backward, with each previous person’s reincarnational lineage? To everyone? What matters is your present life. What matters is you as a parent or uncle or friend schooling the children with these memories that it’s okay and natural to have them. It is…but you’re in a new place now, those memories cannot really hurt you. Children cry and wail for all kinds of reasons, and we soothe them. Sooth them, here, too. I know there haven’t been tools or guidelines out—until recently—on how to deal with this kind of behavior, but with an open mind and a little research you can understand what’s going on through venues like this, books like Soul Survivor, and so many others. A past life does not have to take control of your child…reliving its memory is one thing, and is healthy to the greater understanding of who we are, why we behave as we do…why we’re afraid of flying, or water, or have  a penchant for music, alcohol, or wide, open plains and Mongolian barbeques. We need to understand these things, not stomp them down into our unconsciousnesses, where they will never really go away, but breed and fester and somehow manifest into symptoms we can never truly understand and end up medicating for the rest of our lives.

Reincarnation also shows how we are all so intimately connected.

Maybe a parent in one life is our spouse or child in another. It should give us a far greater appreciation of each other, that we are all not that different, no, not at all, not even all that separated from each other, no matter that we live on different sides of the planet. That death is not permanent. Life situations are not permanent. That our souls actually do survive beyond death and that, hey, here’s a shocker, we not only choose the lives we live…but also our parents…our family members.

Reincarnational memories usually happen before six years of age, usually around ages 2 or 3. For many, these memories eventually fade after 6 years of age…unless one makes an effort to keep them. I have one instance when I was about six years of age that involved the Civil War, but have had other feelings and predispositions, like an interest in B-17s.  The problem with getting these later is that they’re more filtered by your current life’s beliefs and minutiae, so the memories are not as fully developed, not as complete.

Don’t let reincarnational memories frighten. Be smart about them and learn from them. Be open to them…and be open to your children about them. If you think children can’t handle them, consider what they’re already going through…what they’ve been through in a previous life. Be a parent and guide them through it. If they’re already talking about “my other mother,” describing gruesome death scenes, it’s probably a pretty sure bet they can handle the conversation you control. It’s probably a pretty sure bet that all the good you tell them they can handle. If you don’t understand it, tell them you’re not sure, but together you will both find out what it is, what’s going on, and explore what your child is trying to tell you…but that memories cannot hurt them. Ignoring them, stomping them down can.

Be a parent.

Apply the same techniques you would with any other situation that children are having a hard time with, or are afraid of. Just don’t ignore it. There’s so much to learn and grow from.

In Memoriam to Jane Roberts (May 8, 1929 – September 5, 1984)

Jane Roberts, 1929 – 1984 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Today marks the 28th anniversary of the death of Jane Roberts, who, along with Rob Butts, compiled the Seth material. I didn’t personally know Jane, though had written to her when I was a kid (and, well, read most of her work). I did know her husband (he had responded to my youthful letters), and we’d corresponded for many years, until his death in 2008.

Here’s to remembering Jane and her work!

Mind Games

Cover of The Way Toward Health: A Seth Book

Here’s a little game to play:  try to substitute any positive word or thought for a negative one. If you’re thinking about how many bills you have to pay, immediately change it around to “I have an abundance of wealth!”  If you’re thinking you’re not going to get that promotion or your project isn’t going to win at the Science Fair, instead change it around to “I have an abundance of success!” And don’t be looking for immediate results, what we’re doing, here, is neural rewiring! We’re changing patterns of behavior–not looking for immediate “pots of gold.”

So, see how long you can do it! If you falter…start over again!

Think it’s easy? Maybe even a waste of your time?

If our thoughts drive our actions, I think you can make the connection. But it’s also interesting to note how your thoughts, actions, and words come out of you. Think you’re really an optimist? A happy, positive person? Examining your thoughts and actions in this way can be quite eye-opening. And as we’ve all heard from psychologists and all the other great thinkers, if you think one way, it carries over into your actions. If you don’t initially believe something, yet pretend to believe that something, eventually you do come to believe it (now, sometimes the body and/or mind can “revolt” or take issue, say, perhaps with sneezing or any other bodily function, but ask yourself if this is related to some innate “push back” because of a fear of success, or change, or any other internal issue you may have–everything’s related…).

After all, if you had a choice to go through life as a happy and positive individual, wouldn’t you prefer that over being dark, dank, and depressed? Personally (and we all have our “moments,” me included), I prefer to go through life with a smile and a good word than the alternative. Greeting “Hi, how ya doin?” to all I meet, and trying to get them to smile. It’s just the way I am.

I got this “game” from a book, called The Way Toward Health, by Jane Roberts, Seth, and Robert Butts. It’s been in other forms in other books by these three, but I most recently completed rereading it and have been earnestly playing the game the past week (I’ve actually been doing this most of my life, but revitalized it recently). It’s most enlightening. But it’s also important to keep it fun, and “like” a game. Don’t get pissy or down on yourself…just observe and substitute. It’s important to remain playful!

The Way Toward Health, like all their books, is a fascinating read, the last one worked on by Jane, literally days before she passed on, on Sept 9, 1984. It may be a stretch for many (the whole Seth and channeling aspect might leave some cold…but whether or not you agree with the delivery mechanics…is the information at all useful to you?), but if you give it a chance, it might give you some different perspectives on how to “be healthy” in mind, body, and spirit.

So…what are you thinking right this moment?
