Your Book of Life

Dear Friends,

Hello and Happy Spring! The tough winter we endured in western Pa. could not diminish the splendor of the green sprouts of perennials determinedly shooting up in my garden this morning. Their growth reminds me of what lies at the core of our existence as humans- undeniable, raw fortitude in the presence of Spirit.

I’m excited about presenting this weekend’s workshop, Pre-Birth Planning: Understanding Your Soul’s Life Challenges with author Rob Schwartz. I hope you can join us in this informative, experiential seminar which explores your soul’s journey. Find easy online registration, details and links below.

On June 5-6, I’ll be offering the last intuitive development workshop of spring -Intuitive Development II, which offers more insight, refinement and practical exercises to help you on your pathway. Check out the details below. Classes will resume in late Sept.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve Spirit. I hope to see you soon.

In Light,

Carole J. Obley

Question of the Month

Why do I sometimes dream about being in another time and place? This does not happen often, but when it does, it confuses me. I know I am “me” in the dream, but I am not in my current day life. There are also emotions that come up during these dreams. What could this mean?

It sounds as if you are having what I call a past-life bleed-through. That is, you are replaying your Book of Life- also called the Akashic Records- (see the article below) that is stored energetically in your subconscious mind, which is active when we sleep. Because the soul does not lose any experiences from incarnation to incarnation, these imprints are stored in the endless chapters of your soul’s records. They can be replayed anytime we consciously or subconsciously access them. I mention ways of accessing them in this month’s article below. At times, the records seem to replay on their own, without our conscious will in bringing them to light. Dreaming is an example of this. The soul as the eternal essence of Spirit does not know what time is and therefore has no reference to it. Since you mentioned the emotional component of the dream, my sense is that you are experiencing similar circumstances in your current situation- emotionally, physically or spiritually- to the ones brought up in your dreams. Further, you may be repeating a karmic issue which is now ready to be healed. The dream is your soul’s way of giving you awareness of this issue and perhaps its origin in your consciousness. To heal, we must get to the root cause of the issue.

Sometimes we appear to ourselves in these types of dreams as another gender, age or nationality than our current one. This is due to the fact that each time we come into physicality, we take on varying roles and circumstances to advance spiritually. The fact that you recognize yourself as “you” means that you know it is essentially your soul that is having the experience, even though the outer you is different. To gain more insight, see if you can make a correlation between what is going on in your life when you have this type of dream. Compare the themes and feelings of the dream with current life challenges and issues. You may seek the assistance of a qualified regression therapist to help you.

Do you have a question about the Other Side or metaphysical spirituality? Please email it to carole@soulvisions.net. I cannot answer personally, but if it is something that will likely benefit others, I will address it in a future newsletter.

 

Monthly Inspiration

Your Book of Life

Many years ago, when I began my study of metaphysics, I was attracted to the life and readings of Edgar Cayce, famous American seer and healer of the early 20th century. In his readings, Cayce made frequent references to what he called the Book of Life- energetic records of an individual’s every thought, word and action throughout time. These soul “imprints” are also called the Akashic Records (from Sanskrit- “sky, space and ether”) by ancient and modern mystics. The records contain the total of the universal experience- humans included- encoded in a non-physical plane of existence- the ethers. Cayce asserted that we write our own book, which is composed from the expressions of both our personality and soul. Past, present and probable future events are contained within the records. When Cayce entered trance to give readings, he accessed the records to retrieve information about individuals, most of who lived hundreds of miles from where Cayce was in Virginia Beach. He did this by being given the name only of the person he was reading. Volumes of information- most of it healing in nature- was given to thousands of people by Cayce’s visits to the records.

Functioning like a giant tape recorder- with never-ending spools of tape- the records can be accessed and read by entering the subconscious mind through meditation, regression and hypnosis. When we pass into spirit, we are shown a life-review from our book and shown the implications of our choices- how they affected us and others. We can then make determinations on how well we did in the classroom of earth. Our blueprints- designs and lessons intended for life made before each incarnation- are also contained within our book.  

In my early experiences as a medium, I became aware of the records when I sat with people who were not the least bit interested in obtaining information from their Book; they wanted to know about the future and more practical matters like careers and money. Yet, slightly above the clients’ right shoulder, were scenes, images and feeling impressions that seemed to be related to the information being discussed. It didn’t happen all the time, but often enough that I questioned its meaning. Intuitively, I sensed that I was tuning into another dimension of consciousness- one decidedly not based in the current life, judging from the historical material that was revealed. As I developed trust in what I was being shown, I shared the insights I received with the clients for whom they appeared. Soon, I realized they were directly related to the individuals’ karma- unfinished spiritual business. I gained validation of the accuracy of the insights when people gave me feedback like, “Yes, I’ve always struggled with self-esteem issues. I never knew why. That’s amazing that in past experiences I had the same issue!” and “My childhood was incredibly painful growing up with abusive parents. You mean I planned this to grow spiritually? Maybe now I can begin to forgive and heal- exactly what I planned on doing, according to what I wrote in my book.”

  Over time, as I became increasingly comfortable in sharing clients’ Book of Life with them, I’ve witnessed deep healing occur in the process. Since the initial step in healing is awareness, the simple revelation of the origin of long-held emotional issues is often enough to jumpstart the process of understanding and release necessary for healing to take place. Healing means we recognize ourselves as who we truly are-Spirit. The more closely we align ourselves with love and forgiveness, the closer we move to this realization. Cayce believed that we are the sum total of all of our thoughts- an accurate assumption in my experience. What are you currently writing in your Book of Life?

If you are interested in learning more about the Akashic Records and how they can be used for spiritual awareness and healing, I invite you to attend Pre-Birth Planning: Understanding Your Soul’s Life Challenges on May 1.

Testimonial

For many of us, a little part of ourselves dies when we lose someone close to us through death. We often wonder, are they still with us or do they know what's going on 'down here'? Carole can help with those questions. She is a clear, open, loving channel who links souls here on earth to the souls who have made the transition to another plane of existence. You never know who's going to show up or what message they will share and that can be scary to some. But Carole delivers these messages in the kindest, most unconditional way. It was a gift and an honor to receive a reading from Carole." JW
