This is Your Life - Embrace the Experience By Angie Skelhorn

I ventured to the open meadow. A full moon hung suspended, surrounding the earth with a blue-gray light. A quiet evening surrounded me. I laid on the grass and felt the night air move around my body. Twinkling stars shun down upon me. With a deep breath, I centered myself. I allowed all my burdens soak into the ground beneath me. I asked the keepers of the secret knowledge, my Spirit Guide answers to the unknown, "When did the soul enter the physical body?"

What happen next seemed to take hours, but actually happened in a flash.

The answer revealed to me was:

The soul is the innermost being of self and is dedicated to its life's work. The energy thinks, feels and desires. The human body is born as a vehicle for the soul to prefect itself. The frame allows the soul to live an earthly life through touch while expressing itself in humanitarian ways; a free agent for the divine powers. Born from the four elements, a human is formed; a living soul resides within, individual energy, a complete unique experience.

The soul is introduced to its physical frame while the embryo develops into a fetus in the mother's womb. It is a slow and compatible process. The liquid in the womb acts as the timeless, weightless substance the soul is used to. There is still connection to the other world and the soul will struggle to adapt and conform to its physical body.

The life of the soul was decided long before conception. A meeting took place between the soul and its energy guides, relatives and friends who had passed on in the physical world as well as Higher Powers and our Creator. The soul's past actions, the Karma, is recalled and that which was not cleared or properly handled returns. The soul has many layers of reality woven together to tap into evolve the further the growth, all which relates to the past, present and future; CONSCIOUSNESS, UNCONSCIOUSNESS, SUPERCONSCIOUSNESS, COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS.

Before the soul re-enters it chooses its race, parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, friends, home country and location. The environment is selected, the emotional and physical experience needed are put into play. At birth the influences of the planets and other cosmic energies will offer a glimpse of the soul's fate and fortune. The new individual with a soul, using mind and heart and higher powers' backing will create the new existence. No matter the mission on earth, until the soul perfects itself it will continue to live the same experience over and over again.

The whole process is a miracle in itself. Each cell, every movement is perfectly coordinated with a master plan. Each unique individual's innermost being had decided to come to the planet. It was their own free will to live earthly encounters using their six senses to experience the life placed before them.

I wanted to know why I could not remember the time spent in energy form in the other world or past lives. Why are the memories not quick and fresh like events that happened only yesterday? Why must I seek and dig deep within my mind to recall a past needed to live in the present, to evolve into the future?

I learned that deep within the mind lives experiences of prior incarnations. Buried material of sensations of lives lived hide in the unconscious part of the mind Memories of past lives are universal. The layers of the mind work in amazing way.

The mind will retain good experiences easier or more willing than bad ones. Our minds can forget anything that is unpleasant or painful. The mind is able to recall details of positive things quicker than negative ones. This is a protective feature to help keep humans mentally sane. Misery, bad or harmful situations happen to everyone. The brain can forget the details of those experiences, bury the episodes deep within and block out any traumas including our physical death. It is a great survival skill. The birthing process is a traumatic experience for newborns and the soul. For nine months the baby laid in an environment that was protective and safe. The baby fed, slept, dreamed then suddenly the mother’s body triggers time to leave the comforts and enter a new and unknown environment. The shock activates the mechanisms in the brain and the experience is forgotten. The same applies to the experience of death. Our fear of the unknown or the traumatic event leaving the physical frame creates anxiety, a feeling of crisis and we forget.
