Reality
QUESTION: Masters how do our beliefs influence our lives? They influence “reality” or our perception of “reality”? If I believe that I was X in another life this will become real? ~Mr. E., Austria
ANSWER: Each soul having a physical Earth incarnation accepts certain concepts, which they allow to influence all aspects of the human experience for them. These are called their belief system or, simply, beliefs. At first everyone is indoctrinated by those they trust; they learn to regard what society expects, in its judgmental ego manner, as being THE way to behave.
When young, humans do not yet realize they have total freedom of choice to accept or reject what others tell them. Most feel they have no choice at all. An additional segment is afraid to take responsibility for their decisions, so they allow others to decide for them. This, then, creates a mutually accepted reality for all who join in this group mentality.
Reality is a term that has varying definitions based upon your involvement in a spiritual journey. If you are aware of the power of the soul to manifest and create that which you desire, you constantly create your own version of the reality that you accept as applying to you. Reality is transitional for a human depending on the beliefs that are operative at any one time.
For example, if you live in a temperate climate, a humid 95 degrees F. temperature is normal and pleasing to you. If you then move and become used to a moderate climate, you find the temperature unbearable once it reaches 80 degrees even without humidity. Your reality has changed based on external input. If you are a member of a working-class family where no one receives an advanced degree, you are very content and feel complete on learning a trade. If you are born into a family of professionals, your reality includes a need to achieve a professional degree, or you feel you are a failure.
Under hypnosis it is possible to visit other timelines or past lives. Wherever your consciousness is centered is your reality at that moment. You may be experiencing a battle you engaged in once upon a time, but your physical body is relaxing on a couch in the therapist’s office. Both are a part of the reality of your soul.
The soul has the ability to choose what to experience. So, yes, you can live whatever life you desire in another place and time.
