Past Life: A Karmic Cleanse (ii)

I walk through the gateway to the Eternal Realm. The gate opens into a dark tunnel with an elaborate door ahead of me. The doorframe is rectangular, surrounding double doors which have half an eight-pointed star on each side, appearing as a full star as the door is closed. A bright white light illuminates the door, which has a slightly reflective white surface. I breathe deeply, then push open one of the doors.

On the other side, I find myself at the top of an ornate staircase, with wooden bannisters on either side, covered with intricate carvings.

I walk down the steps, counting as I do so.

At the bottom, I walk through a swirling mist, which transports me back into a past life. I close my eyes for a second.

I open my eyes to find myself looking up at a huge navy sail with a red bird emblazoned across it. The sky above is grey. It is windy and raining slightly.

I look down at my body. I am male, dressed in some kind of leather knee-length tunic, tied at the waist with two straps of leather that hang down my left side. I’m wearing boots made from hide, fur-lined, which are also tied onto my legs by criss-crossing leather straps.

My attention is brought to an amulet that hangs low around my chest. A gold circle with a seven-pointed star, adorned with perfectly cut lapis lazuli stones, and a large red ruby in the centre.

I look around the ship I am on. I feel I am alone and heading away from something.

From the look of the sail and the shape of the ship, I appear to be a viking.

Am I a nobleman?

Why am I alone?

I wonder why I have come to this incarnation. As I wonder, the ship around me, the sea, and the sky shimmer in sparkling bright lights, causing me to close my eyes again.

Once more, I open my eyes and find myself in a well-furnished and well-decorated room. Luxurious curtains hang at the windows and the room is full of treasures of every description in every corner.

I look to the ground, where I find myself kneeling, holding a large, open cloth bag that is filled with some of these treasures. At the top is the necklace I saw on the ship, the one with the star and stones.

I seem to be urgently filling the bag.

I see a crown in the bag, which I remove, and place on a stool by the door as I leave, hurrying out before the others wake.

I feel I am a thief, and I am stealing from those I know.

The scene freezes, and I step out of this incarnation’s body. I open my heart chakra, seeing and feeling a bright green light that expands outwards from my chest, and connects with the heart of my earlier self.

I offer my thanks for allowing me to step into this scene, and offer forgiveness for whatever karma this event has created so that it carries through to my current incarnation.

However, I offer love as well as forgiveness, as I feel this incarnation is acting as a result of the way he has been treated by those around him, which I feel is a result of karma from yet another earlier existence.

I hope my forgiveness offers some help to this man’s lifetime, as I hope it will to mine, as the existing karma is cleared by being acknowledged.

I ask this earlier incarnation of me if there is a message he would like to share with me before I leave.

I wait for a short while, and then hear:

The people around us aren’t always the monsters we may think they are. Sometimes, in their own odd way, they are actually trying to help.

I wait a while longer, but no further message comes.

I turn, and walk back through the mist. I climb the stairs. I walk through the double doors. I walk back along the tunnel, and then through the gateway back into the now.

I open my eyes in the now moment, feeling calm and relaxed.
