Mercury retrograde is a good time for retrospective and evaluation, so I’m going to talk about the idea that we can complete enough karma or become enlightened or God-conscious in some way so as to complete our incarnational pattern on earth. And in case you haven’t thought me weird enough quoting my highest guidance and trees in the same article, today you’ll hear some words from a rock, too! Both refer to having fun.
A Facebook friend posted a request yesterday for suggestions of what to wear for a next-life party, while saying she didn’t want to come back. The idea that this can be our last embodiment on Earth is gaining popularity, with many people wondering whether they are “last-timers.” If indeed there are many of us completing here, what does that mean for the Earth? (Big subject — not for this article.)
Through practice and testing over decades, I have come to trust the guidance I receive, though always with a grain of salt, especially for future prognostication. For the most part though, I trust when my guidance indicates it is my or another’s last lifetime here. I don’t always get that it is clear to share the information, but it can help me in evaluating what is happening when I work with someone in session or in class.
Interestingly, I find that when it is not the person’s last time here, they will usually tell me so in some way, like saying how much they wouldn’t want to leave or that they know they have so much more to do, but there are also times when someone says that they do indeed accept and love life here and most likely will not come back. It is actually easier to leave what you love than something you still have unresolved issues with. Then there are those who have to plow through the sense that they are tired and everything seems to feel like “been there, done that.” It can seem like a depression, but with a specific cause, but that also must be transcended.
