Meditation for February 8th, 2016
Past Lives
Everything is a circle including life. We are born, we live a life making decisions, we die and then we are reborn. We come back with little or no memory of our past lives. We feel deja’s vu, are reminded of things that never happened and other people seem familiar even though we’ve never seen them before. We keep living these lives to get to the ultimate goal: a celestial being living among the heavens. Some mediums can tell who and what we used to be. Sometimes it just comes to us.
One of the overlooked responsibilities of knowing who or what you were in your past lives is the fact you probably owe amends. It’s fun to find out you were a queen or king, but did you know that being a king or queen meant you had to do horrible things? You were Martin Luther nailing your thesis to the Catholic Church door? You caused war, marginalized others and created the modern anti-semetic sentiment which lead to the holocaust. Whatever you were I promise that you were a horrible person who need to amend the wrong doings of the past.
Meditate on who or what you may have been. Study the history of your mistakes and try to fix those mistakes now. Remember that if you were royalty or of a title you had to shit on serfs and had slaves. This is in all cultures. Maybe you were a parasite living off of another life. Maybe you were a dolphin who are the bros of the sea in the way they are mean and have a natural inclination to rape. Even a snail has to eat beautiful flowers to survive. You owe the world a goddamned apology.
After this life you will become someone else. If karma is real, then if you lived a good life then you come back a more enlightened being, but if you are living your life ruining other people’s lives by putting people down, not sharing your cheesy bacon tots, taking your significant other to fondue restaurants or enjoying golf you will come back a less enlightened animal.
Clean up your life or you’ll come back as a Kardashian spouse.
Prayer
Elephant Headed Tuba Player From Kashmir or Whatever,
let me know who I used to be,
and alter the present to change the future for what my past life did in the past,
got it?
Dead Yogi Who Lived On A Mountain Top Before My 7th Life Was Born,
may I learn what I need to learn,
to come back more enlightened.
May I come back as smart as I pretended to be on Facebook.
May I come back like Matt Damon’s character in Good Will Hunting,
But maybe look more like Drake.
Monkey King,
maybe I can just live once,
so I won’t worry about what I might come back as.
God forbid I come back a hipster’s pet rabbit.
Amen.
Craft
Here are some ways to go about finding out what you were in your past lives.
Meditate
Consult a psychic
See a hypnotherapist
Have your tarot card read with focus on your past lives
Ask a dirty hippy
Ask someone who looks Hindu – especially if they are a stranger on a bus because they won’t be swayed by your personality. The secret is to ask aggressively three times.
The most accurate way is fill out an online quiz.
Goal
The important thing to take away from all of this is that you ruined history and have a lot of work to repair the damage you have caused. One of the reasons the world seems hostile and unable to get out of the terrible cycle of repeating history is that people won’t amend their past life transgressions.
What did you do? How do you repair it? What minority group do you need to address face to face to admit your wrongs?
Believe in linear time,
hopelessly hopeful.
